Su Chen and Jin Yu lived in the modern world for 50 years, and both of them died peacefully in their old age when Su Chen was 73.
Life is really interesting. When I turned 30, my neighbors, relatives, and even colleagues all started urging me to have a baby.
Only Su Chen's biological mother remained silent.
Su Chen asked at the time, "Mom, why don't you urge us to have a baby?"
Su Chen's mother said unhurriedly, "Having a child is such a hassle. I regretted having you back then."
Su Chen: That hurts.
Su Chen asked again, "All your old friends are already grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. Aren't you worried?"
"Why the rush? Everyone has their own destiny. Besides, everyone is living their own life, so why bother with others?"
"It's good that you don't have children, then you won't have to suffer and go through all that hardship."
After Su Chen's mother finished speaking, she gently brushed her hair aside. "I'm not saying this just to comfort you. I really think so."
Su Chen was so moved that she didn't know what to do. She could only hug her mother tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Jin Yu has lost the desire to have children in this modern world.
The incident stemmed from his return to the realm of gods and demons to investigate some information about love between humans and demons in the demon cave. When he returned, his face was very gloomy.
Jin Yu rarely looked so pale in front of her, and Su Chen was a little curious, wondering what he had been through.
Could it be... that the realms of immortals and demons are about to wage war again?
Su Chen asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened in the Immortal Demon Realm again?"
“It’s not the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm, it’s me…” Jin Yu lowered her head, “Let’s not have children.”
Su Chen felt a little excited inside, but she asked aloud, "Why? Didn't you really want a little devil?"
Jin Yu frowned and said, "A mortal body cannot withstand the demonic energy of a demonic fetus..."
"Oh." Su Chen lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. "I thought you didn't want children because you felt sorry for me."
Seeing that she was angry, Jin Yu didn't dare to be unhappy herself.
Driven by a survival instinct, he stepped forward and put his arm around Su Chen's shoulder, saying, "I just feel sorry for you... How can I not feel sorry for my wife?"
"I haven't learned anything all these years except how to be glib," Su Chen said, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Jin Yu smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Yes, I am indeed glib. Once you cultivate to become an immortal, I won't have to worry about so much."
Su Chen: ...
————Age Divider————
As she approached 40, Su Chen felt uneasy being told she looked young every day, so she sought out Jin Yu to discuss getting old.
Jin Yu: "There's no need to grow old. Come back to the Demon Cave with me."
Su Chen: "No way. How am I supposed to explain this to my parents?"
Jin Yu's face darkened. "So you really want to grow old, really want to die, and leave me all alone?"
Su Chen knew that the topic of aging and death touched a nerve, so he quickly said, "How could that be? It's just that you look a little older on the surface."
"Also, you have to get old, and your face should be at least older than mine."
Jin Yu asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Su Chen: "Didn't you see everyone on the street staring at you with their eyes shining?"
"I really didn't see her." Jin Yu smiled. "Normally, you're the only one in my eyes. I don't have time to look at anyone else."
Su Chen burst out laughing, "That's right! If you really look at someone else, you'll be kneeling on durians!"
...
Later, the college classmates reunited. They all remembered the man Su Chen had found in college.
"Wow, we've been together all these years, that's really something!"
"That's right, in this day and age, such a long-lasting relationship is truly rare."
"By the way, Su Chen, what does your husband do for a living now?" a classmate holding a BMW key asked.
Su Chen: "Househusband."
"Your husband really doesn't care about you. Why is he still a stay-at-home dad? He lets you, the only woman, go out and earn money. Isn't he just a gigolo?!"
After this student finished speaking, the other students were trying not to laugh.
"Isn't being a stay-at-home husband just a way of showing me affection?" Su Chen said with a gentle smile. She wondered if Jin Yu, that great demon, would be upset by being called a stay-at-home husband.
Another classmate said, "That's not true. Women are only responsible for being beautiful, while he should earn money to support the family."
"Oh, really? I don't think so." Su Chen rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky; she really didn't want to stay around these disgusting people any longer.
Su Chen said into her phone, "Jin Yu, come pick me up quickly, I can't stand this smoky environment anymore."
Unexpectedly, Jin Yu stood in front of her the next second, gently holding her shoulder and saying, "Well, wouldn't it be better to come back to the Demon Lord's wife with me as soon as possible? Why suffer like this?"
The students standing nearby erupted in an uproar.
Did you see this man come in just now?
"I didn't see it. What about you?"
"I didn't see it either! Did nobody see it? This is weird!"
Jin Yu found the mortals' talk annoying and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, "Well, how about I give you some face and treat you to this meal?"
Su Chen said angrily, "Don't invite them. Why would we invite these junkies?"
A male classmate with a beer belly pointed at the two of them and said in a strange voice, "Hey, what are you muttering about? Su Chen, why don't you tell your husband to sit down and have a drink with you!"
Jin Yu turned around expressionlessly and said, "I'm sorry, Madam doesn't allow me to drink."
The greasy male classmate said with a disdainful look, "Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he's a stay-at-home husband. He has no status and listens to the old woman at home."
Jin Yu stared at the man with cold eyes, as if he were an ant, and said, "First, you don't need to tell me my status at home. Second, my wife is not old."
The weasel-faced guy who was on good terms with the beer-bellied guy from before chimed in, "Hey buddy, you can just pretend you don't know, why did you have to say it out loud? I think this guy just can't drink, don't force him."
Jin Yu stopped looking at them and said in a cool tone, "Hmm...it seems you guys can drink a lot."
The beer-bellied man said, "That's right, they're all real men."
"Good, very good, as expected of... a man, a husband." Jin Yu smiled wickedly. "Then drink your fill, it's on me."
"Great, great, great!" The students on the side were overjoyed to see the excitement, especially since someone was offering them drinks.
Su Chen frowned and whispered in Jin Yu's ear, "What are you doing? Don't waste money. I already said it's not worth spending money on these scumbags."
"You can just watch from the side for a bit," Jin Yu said with a slight smile to Su Chen.
Su Chen seemed to understand what he was going to do.
Sure enough, the men couldn't stop themselves from drinking bottle after bottle of alcohol, and in the end, they all went to the toilet and vomited.
