They remained silent for a day and a night until the next day when Zhou Xingdou finally stepped out of his room, looking as if he had lost some weight.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw his mother, Ming Qianyue, happily embroidering children's shoes, while his father, Zhou Qingdi, said with a half-smile:
"Is it all resolved?"
Stephen Chow blushed and nodded shyly.
"It's all taken care of..."
Ming Qianyue stopped what she was doing and looked at her son with great joy, saying:
“Perfect timing. Since our family can’t go out anyway, you can let me hold a grandson and play with him.”
"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law."
Yun Jinzhi blushed as she walked out of the room, feeling extremely shy, and timidly called out behind Zhou Xingdou.
"Alright, alright, you two are being affectionate. Your father-in-law and I will go cook."
Ming Qianyue said with a satisfied expression. Although she had slashed at someone with her sword yesterday and Zhou Qingdi wanted to send her to her death, it did not affect her satisfaction with Yun Jinzhi's figure and appearance at all.
Even if Ming Qianyue had high standards, she couldn't find fault with Yun Jinzhi, a Great Luo Heaven Realm cultivator who never let her children go hungry.
After saying that, Ming Qianyue hurriedly pulled Zhou Qingdi to the kitchen, and soon the sound of cooking in the boiler could be heard.
Yun Jinzhi was also a little shy, and she hugged Zhou Xingdou's arm and said coquettishly:
"Zhou Lang~"
Zhou Xingdou turned to look at Yun Jinzhi and snorted coldly:
"Still calling him Zhou Lang!"
"My lord, my husband, oh, I'm so embarrassed."
Yun Jinzhi buried her face in Zhou Xingdou's chest in embarrassment.
Zhou Xingdou chuckled proudly. He had used every trick in the book to defeat Yun Jinzhi, a demoness at the Great Luo Heaven Realm, by crossing two realms.
Now he tells Yun Jinzhi to go east, and Yun Jinzhi will never go west!
However, the price he paid was enormous; his noticeably thinner physique was the best proof of this. Even with his rebirth and powerful recovery abilities, it would probably take him some time to reach full recovery.
At this moment, Stephen Chow continued with the questions he hadn't finished asking yesterday:
"I forgot to ask you yesterday why Huangtian appeared in the Holy Land of the Universe with the demons, and why you told me to be careful of you?"
"That was a puppet that Master created to infiltrate the Chaos Cult. It was originally meant to trick the demons and the Chaos Cult into dying. It was probably just a coincidence that we met that time."
"As for why I'm warning you to be careful of me?"
As she spoke, Yun Jinzhi's expression became alluring again, her slender fingers gently caressing Zhou Xingdou's chest, and she said softly:
"I'm afraid it's just your nature, but I didn't expect that even after I reminded you, you would still be able to have both master and disciple."
Zhou Xingdou's expression turned strange for a moment, but before he could speak, Yun Jinzhi's face was already close to his, her red lips parting to exhale hot breath as she said:
"If Master finds out, he'll be furious, and I'll suffer. So, my husband, you'd better make it up to me tonight."
"Dinner's ready!"
The ambiguous atmosphere was instantly broken by Ming Qianyue's voice.
Yun Jinzhi quickly separated from Zhou Xingdou, once again adopting the demeanor of a virtuous, dignified, and shy young woman, obediently taking Zhou Xingdou's arm.
Although Emperor Zhou Qing tried his best to stop his daughter-in-law from cooking today, he could not stop Ming Qianyue from preparing a meal for her new daughter-in-law.
So when Yun Jinzhi sat down and saw the table full of indescribable food, her lips twitched.
Ming Qianyue looked at Yun Jinzhi with anticipation and said:
"Try it!"
Yun Jinzhi was also a ruthless person; she quickly suppressed the twitching corner of her mouth and looked at Ming Qianyue apologetically, saying:
"Thank you for your hard work, Mother-in-law. I am deeply humbled that you have to cook for me."
As she spoke, Yun Jinzhi, without changing her expression, picked up a piece of dark green vegetable, smelled it first, and then her eyes lit up:
"It smells so good!"
She then eagerly put the greens in her mouth and chewed, her beautiful eyes immediately sparkling with surprise:
"Mmm! It's so delicious!"
Zhou Xingdou was dumbfounded, and Zhou Qingdi looked at Yun Jinzhi in disbelief. Someone could actually act better than him!
"Waaaaah~"
But as she ate, Yun Jinzhi began to sob, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing Yun Jinzhi so heartbroken, Ming Qianyue quickly asked:
"What's wrong, Jinzhi? Is it not to your liking?"
"Waaah, no, I don't have a mother. I've always dreamed of eating my mother's cooking. Now that I'm eating my mother-in-law's cooking, I feel a deep connection to her. It feels like my long-held dream has come true, and I couldn't help but feel emotional..."
Sobbing, Yun Jinzhi leaned against Ming Qianyue, her pitiful appearance breaking Ming Qianyue's heart. Ming Qianyue quickly pulled Yun Jinzhi into her arms, gently patting her back and saying:
"Don't be sad, child. From now on, just treat your mother-in-law as your own mother. You are my daughter. If you want to eat something, Mom will cook it for you every day."
Yun Jinzhi also took the opportunity to bury herself in Ming Qianyue's broad chest, and cried out:
"Waaah, Mom, Mom, you're so wonderful..."
At this moment, both father and son were dumbfounded. Zhou Xingdou sighed inwardly, realizing that Han Yi and the others were probably no match for Yun Jinzhi...
Over the course of the meal, Ming Qianyue grew to like Yun Jinzhi more and more. Yun Jinzhi was also very good at pleasing Ming Qianyue, showering her with sweet words and constantly praising Ming Qianyue's cooking skills by putting food into her mouth.
On the contrary, Zhou Xingdou, the son who had just been reunited with his father, was neglected at this moment. He could only look helplessly at his father and then endure the strange taste in his mouth as he ate his food bite by bite.
"Hey, where did Wang Zizai go? I remember he was here yesterday, wasn't he?"
When Zhou Xingdou could no longer eat, he turned to his father and asked.
Zhou Qingdi had been looking for an opportunity to stop eating, and so he put down his chopsticks and said:
“After you two went back to the house yesterday, he seemed very scared. We wanted to invite him to stay for a meal, but he ran away faster than a rabbit.”
"The demons of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Domain should be cleansed. They all believe I can save them. Now that I've been here for so long, if I don't do something soon, some will despair..."
Zhou Xingdou looked at his father and said, word by word.
As for the talk of salvation and cleansing, those were just pretexts. Zhou Xingdou was actually telling Zhou Qingdi that he was ready to accept that power.
However, it was not appropriate to say such things directly in front of Ming Qianyue, so as not to worry her mother.
Emperor Zhou Qing understood his son's meaning perfectly. His eyes darkened, and he still asked:
Are you ready?
"Ready."
Zhou Xingdou said with extreme seriousness.
He had already thought it through when Yun Jinzhi told him about Chaos's purpose yesterday.
He cherishes so many people now: his parents who have just reunited, his grandfather, his master, Hanyi, Aunt Ning, and so on.
He didn't want to die, nor did he want the people he cherished to disappear, so he had no choice but to take a gamble and do what he had to do.
He didn't know if Xiao Tianzuo's claim that only he could suppress the chaos was credible, nor did he care what would happen to him after suppressing the chaos.
Rather than die in silence, it's better to try...
Zhou Qingdi paused for a moment, then picked up his chopsticks again:
"Tomorrow, eat well, and get through today first..."
