"Helan, on the way, capture that runaway fellow. He's a rare incubus. It would be a pity to kill him, so I'll give him to you as a plaything."
"Incubus?" Sang Luo's almond eyes widened in surprise. Such a thing really exists?
"Yes, a very special kind of demon. They have no gender and are good at bewitching and..." Quan Jin was a little embarrassed and paused before saying, "Making love potions."
"Pfft~ Hahaha." Sang Luo laughed for a long time before stopping, teasing, "If you kept him, don't tell me you had other intentions."
"Sang Sang." Quan Jin's face turned suspiciously red, and he said righteously, "He was a subordinate of the former Demon Lord. Xiao Bao was bewitched by the Exquisite Heart Gu, and he fueled the flames. Killing him directly would be too easy on him. I've placed a demon slave mark on him, imprisoning his soul in a magic artifact, at your disposal."
When Sang Luo heard this, she became anxious. This guy dared to harm her child!
"Watch how I make him work like a dog and torture him to avenge my son!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to hear a mournful and shrill cry coming from the music box-like magic artifact. As long as she turned the music box, the struggling became more intense. After realizing that resistance was futile, it played dead and didn't move, so Sang Luo threw it back into her space out of boredom.
The two children were bathing in dragon blood and didn't know when they would wake up. Quan Jin sealed the entrance to the forbidden area. If anyone broke into the defensive formation, he would be able to sense it immediately.
"It's been a long time since I've been back. Accompany me for a walk."
Sang Luo touched her belly, "I'm hungry."
Quan Jin remembered that she was pregnant again and rummaged through his space to find many crystal cores.
This demon territory is a harsh and barren place, unable to grow any delicious spiritual fruits, but there are many powerful magical beasts. He has hunted hundreds of royal-tier magical beasts over the years, and countless king-tier and below magical beasts. These crystal cores have all been purified by Xiao Yuan and can be directly consumed and refined.
Sang Luo took an orange-red crystal core and put it in her mouth. It melted instantly, turning into a sweet energy dew that slid into her mouth. She remembered something and smiled brightly at Quan Jin, "When I was pregnant with Xiao Qi and Xiao Yuan, you also searched the world for crystal cores for me to eat, afraid that the children wouldn't be well-nourished."
Quan Jin recalled those days, and his eyes became gentle, "Those years that I wanted to forget the most were also the happiest days for me, with you and the two children."
Back then in the Western Continent, he could have her all to himself, she belonged only to him.
No matter how many people she had around her in the future, he was the first to have her, and he was the one who made her a mother.
......
Southern Region, Long City.
They found a popular restaurant.
"Guests, your dishes are here, please enjoy!" After the young waiter served the dishes, he went to attend to other customers.
Sang Luo was stunned as she watched the waiter's figure, then looked at Quan Jin across from her, who was cutting the steak into small pieces.
"He..."
Quan Jin shook his head, "He is not Lyon Kleida. Lyon passed away a hundred years ago."
"...I know, more than five hundred years have passed, and almost all the friends I knew back then have left, and I don't know how many times they've been reincarnated." The young man didn't look like Lyon, but their soul auras were the same, so he must be his reincarnation.
Quan Jin handed the cut meat pieces to Sang Luo.
"I still miss Little Bai's cooking, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see her one last time. She couldn't cultivate, so she probably left even earlier than Lyon." Sang Luo tasted a piece of steak and chewed slowly. The ingredients were just ordinary beast meat, but the key was that the cooking was delicious.
Quan Jin also ate slowly, replying, "After Little Bai left, I saw Lyon once. At that time, he was also middle-aged, much calmer and more taciturn than when he was young. The two of them adopted many homeless cubs over the years, and the children have all grown up and are helping to run those chain restaurants."
"What about Lyon? Is he not in charge anymore?" Sang Luo felt sorry, "After Little Bai became the proprietress, she rarely cooked herself. His cooking skills were even better than Little Bai's."
"He's a soldier who came from the army. If he really wanted to make a living by doing odd jobs in a restaurant, he wouldn't have gone to military school back then." Quan Jin shook his head, "After Little Bai left, Lyon gave the restaurant to the children and went out to travel alone... When he was under my command back then, he also said that after he retired and saved enough money, he wanted to go out and travel the rivers and mountains, unconstrained, relaxed, and free, to spend the last part of his beast life."
"..." Sang Luo didn't know what to say, and she was a little touched in her heart, "Little Bai being able to meet Lyon was the luckiest thing in her life. Lyon was able to stay by Little Bai's side. Although the two of them didn't have any children, Little Bai gave him a unique warmth and love."
"It's a pity that the two of them ultimately failed to stay together for a lifetime." The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, "It would be great if they were still here. We won't be able to see them again in the future."
Quan Jin didn't speak, but looked up at the door of the private room.
Sang Luo also followed his gaze, but her expression paused.
A handsome girl in a pink and white floral dress walked over, with a warm and lively smile on her face, "Hello, two guests, today you are the most valuable guests in our restaurant. Would you like to apply for a membership in our store? All dishes will be 25% off in the future, and our store will also give you a free plate of newly launched signature dishes."
Sang Luo's eyes were a little moist, and she couldn't tell whether it was emotion or laughter. The thing called [membership] was still something she introduced to the beast world, something she taught to Little Bai.
She questioned Quan Jin in her sea of consciousness, [It's such a coincidence, you wouldn't have secretly and deliberately brought the two of them together, would you?]
[It's that the two of them were destined to meet again.] Quan Jin said, [The last time I saw Lyon, I did give him a pair of concentric spells. If his wish is strong enough, he will have a feeling in the dark, but whether the two of them can meet in the end, whether they can know each other and stay together, depends on their fate in this life.]
The girl stared straight at Sang Luo, and for some reason, her nose felt a little sore, but she still held back and smiled brightly, "I feel like I've known this girl for a long time, as if I've seen her somewhere before. Just consider it making a friend, this meal is on the house, guests, please come often in the future!"
Sang Luo nodded and smiled, "The food in this restaurant is to my liking, let's get a membership, I'll come here often in the future."
"Okay, you can inject a trace of beast source power into this token, and from now on, this token will be your exclusive membership card. If you want to recharge in the future, you can come to our store to recharge, and if it's inconvenient, you can also add me as a jade slip friend. Just let me know on it."
After finishing the process, the girl went out and met the young man from before.
He hurriedly supported her, "Didn't I tell you to rest well? Sigh, you're always restless, don't exhaust yourself, what if you and the baby have an accident... What am I going to do."
His tone was reproachful, but his face was full of tenderness and care.
When Sang Luo heard this, she looked at Quan Jin in surprise.
He said, "She's pregnant, it's still early, it should only be one or two months."
Only then did she notice that the girl's dress was very loose, covering the slight bulge of her belly.
Sang Luo also smiled, "Little Bai's body has congenital defects, she likes children very much, but she can't get pregnant, so there's always a regret. This life can be considered a wish come true."
"Her body in this life can also cultivate, and her talent is very good. She's a fifth-tier female beast, and she has a great chance of advancing to the seventh tier in the future."
"Their lifespan in this life may only be a short hundred years, but being able to support each other, grow old together, and stay together for a lifetime, is the happiness that they longed for in their previous life."
Speaking of a short lifespan, Sang Luo thought of Lan Cang, and a sour feeling rose in her heart.
