Thank you, BlueMoon, for the ko-fi~
“Yuan Yuan, what revenge are you talking about?”
The teacher watching over him took a clean large towel and wrapped him up completely.
Feng Yuan’s chubby little face was still dripping with water droplets.
He replied firmly in his childish voice, “Yazi!”
That was a bad beast!
He decided not to call him uncle anymore!
Feng Yuan’s words were abrupt and fragmented, making no sense to the teacher.
Feng Qi, who had been notified, rushed over as soon as possible.
When he arrived, he brought a fresh set of dry clothes.
“Yuan Yuan’s dad.”
As Feng Qi changed Feng Yuan’s clothes, the teacher stood nearby and communicated, “I’ve already sent you the surveillance footage from earlier. You can take a look.”
“We originally intended to pull Yuan Yuan out right away, but he—”
He didn’t want to.
The teacher didn’t say the last few words, but Feng Qi understood.
Feng Qi didn’t blame the teacher.
He even apologized, “Yuan Yuan has caused you trouble. I’m really sorry.”
The teacher smiled. “No trouble at all.”
The teacher genuinely didn’t consider Feng Yuan a troublesome child.
Thanks to Feng Yuan’s frequent outbursts at the kindergarten, his family had donated many facilities to the school.
They even built staff dormitories.
The teachers working here, in this prime and expensive location, each had their own single room!
And for the teachers in Feng Yuan’s Fruit class, the benefits were even more exceptional.
The Li family provided additional perks for these teachers.
So, although Feng Yuan was the “kindergarten boss”, every teacher in the school was eager to teach him personally.
“Yuan Yuan’s dad, if you’re concerned about his health, you can take him for a check-up.”
The teacher thoughtfully offered a suggestion.
Feng Qi shook his head, not planning to go to the hospital. “No need. He’s perfectly fine, nothing wrong.”
The little guy hadn’t even swallowed any water, so there was no need for a hospital visit.
Feng Qi didn’t let the teacher stay any longer.
After the teacher left, father and son faced each other.
Feng Yuan sniffled and was the first to complain.
“Bad Yazi hid Yuan Yuan’s homework notebook.”
“He bullied Yuan Yuan.”
As soon as Feng Yuan finished his complaint, Feng Qi immediately looked around.
“Yazi? Show yourself.”
Feng Qi spoke in a stern tone but received no response.
Seeing that Yazi wasn’t appearing, Feng Qi spoke again, “If you don’t show yourself, I’ll go find Xie Zhi.”
Xie Zhi was currently in the human world settling disputes.
But aside from human cases, disputes among divine beasts could also be brought to Xie Zhi for judgment.
Under Feng Qi’s threat, Yazi finally revealed himself.
As soon as Feng Yuan saw him, he jumped up angrily.
“Bad uncle! You’re the worst uncle!”
Feng Yuan, hands on his chubby waist, accused Yazi of being the worst uncle.
For a fierce beast like Yazi, being called “bad” was like a compliment.
So, Yazi wasn’t angered.
Not only was he not angered, he even narrowed his eyes and retorted in kind, “Good baby. You’re the best baby in kindergarten.”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan, who usually loved being praised, was instead infuriated by these words.
“Yuan Yuan is going to hit you!”
Knowing full well he wasn’t the kindergarten’s model child, Feng Yuan felt this remark was sarcastic.
When Feng Yuan got really angry, he would actually hit people.
Just as he was about to start a fight with Yazi, Feng Qi held him back.
“Alright, alright, don’t be angry. Let’s talk this through properly.”
Feng Qi understood Yazi’s nature.
Although Yazi was narrow-minded and held a strong desire for revenge, he had one redeeming quality—
He never provoked others without reason.
Now that he was clashing with his own chubby little one, it was almost certainly because the little chubby had offended him.
With Feng Qi personally stepping in to mediate, Feng Yuan soon learned why Uncle Yazi had been bullying him.
It turned out that he, along with Eggy, Cheng Cheng, Rui Rui, and the others, had collectively offended Uncle Yazi.
“Eggy!”
Feng Yuan immediately thought of Eggy: “Uncle Yazi! Did you bully Eggy, too?!”
Yazi: “…”
Yazi snorted and emphasized again, “I wasn’t bullying him.”
He called it revenge.
Feng Yuan didn’t see much difference between the two words.
Right now, he was only worried about his little brother Eggy.
“Eggy is still so young. You shouldn’t bully him.”
Yazi remained silent.
In Yazi’s eyes, even if a passing dog bit him, he would bite back.
No matter how young the child, he showed no mercy.
Uncle Yazi’s heart of stone made Feng Yuan clench his little fists.
“We’re even now!”
Feng Yuan no longer thought about revenge. He started settling accounts with Uncle Yazi.
Yazi initially didn’t want to call it even. But out of respect for Feng Qi, he snorted and reluctantly nodded.
“Fine, we’re even. Feng Qi, you have to buy me another Yazi statue.”
“Understood.”
After Feng Qi agreed, Yazi didn’t linger any longer. He turned and flew away.
Before leaving, he reminded Feng Qi:
“Many places are now filled with heavy demonic energy.”
“Feng Qi, you’d better be careful.”
Excessive demonic energy could affect the minds of mortals.
In areas thick with demonic energy, chaos often brewed.
In times like these, divine beasts would typically use their powers to purify the demonic energy.
Feng Qi had done such things before.
He had once protected a dynasty, ensuring its peace and prosperity for a long time.
Now, he also wished to capture all demons and cleanse the world of demonic energy.
But he could no longer return to his former peak state.
After Yazi left, a flicker of emotion passed through Feng Qi’s eyes. He suppressed all his worries.
He smiled, cupped Feng Yuan’s chubby little face, and comforted the little guy.
“Your Uncle Yazi is gone now. From here on, you won’t be bullied anymore.”
Although Feng Qi assured Feng Yuan that he wouldn’t be bullied, Feng Yuan still felt a bit uneasy.
He suggested going home to play.
Feng Qi disagreed.
“You haven’t finished your morning classes yet. What’s the point of going back now?”
Feng Qi said, “Rong Rong is still in class.”
Mentioning Rong Rong, Feng Yuan scrunched up his chubby little face and stopped insisting on going home.
He obediently returned to class.
After a full day of classes, Feng Yuan indeed encountered no more misfortune.
After school, he took Rong Rong and Qin Xun and rushed off to find Eggy.
When they arrived, Eggy was being held by Wu Jin.
Having passed his hundred-day milestone, Eggy was now a sturdy little Eggy.
He was waving his tiny fists, pounding them against his dad.
Wu Jin tried to catch his little fists while reminding him, “Eggy, don’t hit your big dad anymore. If your other dad sees, he’ll spank you.”
Wu Jin was a bit indulgent with his son.
The elderly couple of the Yu family also doted on him.
Currently, the only ones in the family who could discipline Eggy were Yu Yi and Yu Ye.
But lately, even Yu Ye had stopped spanking the egg.
Chi Rong was highly sensitive during pregnancy, and his emotions were easily stirred.
To take care of Chi Rong, Yu Ye was now extremely cautious.
His usual sharp and sarcastic tongue was completely restrained, not a trace of it showing.
Even so, Chi Rong would still throw tantrums at the drop of a hat.
When Feng Yuan went over to take Eggy and check on Chi Rong, he found Chi Rong sitting on the sofa with red-rimmed eyes and bare feet.
Yu Ye was kneeling in front of him, holding a sock in one hand and Chi Rong’s foot in the other.
Chi Rong seemed unwilling to wear the socks.
Feng Yuan hurried over, placed Eggy on the sofa, and immediately stood up for his Uncle Chi Rong.
“Uncle! Why is Uncle Chi Rong crying?”
Feng Yuan’s little face was serious, looking as if he was ready to thoroughly judge his uncle.
Yu Ye glanced at him and replied, “Your Uncle Chi Rong said the floor is pitiful because it gets stepped on. He doesn’t want to wear socks or step on the ground.”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan: “Huh?”
Feng Yuan looked down at the floor under his own chubby feet, then guiltily glanced at Uncle Chi Rong.
Chi Rong’s eyes seemed to grow even redder.
But it wasn’t because of Feng Yuan. He stared straight at Yu Ye, his voice choked with sobs: “Why are you speaking so loudly to the baby!”
Yu Ye was left speechless.
He wanted to argue. But seeing how thin Chi Rong had become lately, he swallowed his words.
Carrying twin eggs wasn’t easy.
These two eggs not only severely affected Chi Rong’s emotions but also caused him to lose some weight.
Chi Rong had a big appetite and never threw up after eating.
But whenever his mood soured, he’d refuse to eat.
As a result, he still wasn’t getting enough nutrition.
Yu Ye had considered stopping the pregnancy.
However, the moment he brought up the idea, Chi Rong ran away from home.
By the time Yu Ye found the dragon, he had nearly returned to his undersea home, utterly heartbroken.
The dragon felt that Yu Ye didn’t want his eggs.
If he didn’t want the eggs, then he might as well not want the dragon either.
It took Yu Ye a great deal of coaxing and sweet-talking to finally calm the dragon down.
Faced with the dragon’s ever-changing moods, Yu Ye showed not a hint of impatience.
Now, seeing Feng Yuan arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief.
With Feng Yuan around, Chi Rong’s mood would improve significantly.
“Yuan Yuan, come help me out.”
Yu Ye handed the socks to Feng Yuan. “Put these on for your Uncle Chi Rong.”
It was only March or April, and the weather hadn’t fully warmed up yet.
Even though there were carpets and heating at home, Yu Ye still wasn’t entirely at ease.
Feng Yuan took the socks, sat down on the floor, and started putting them on Chi Rong.
“Baby, you don’t have to do that. I can put them on myself.”
“It’s okay! Yuan Yuan likes putting socks on for you.”
The warm-hearted little chubby child held the socks with both hands and slipped them onto Chi Rong’s feet.
The other sock was on the sofa.
Eggy picked up that sock and tried to put it on his own little foot.
Feng Yuan giggled as he watched Eggy struggle to put on the sock.
“Egg, you’re so adorable!”
Feng Yuan praised his cute Eggy.
Chi Rong, looking at his smiling face, thought he was the cutest baby of all.
Yu Ye left the room to Chi Rong and the little ones.
He went outside to attend to other matters.
In the room.
Feng Yuan took the sock from Eggy’s little hand and slipped it onto Chi Rong’s other foot.
By the time both of Chi Rong’s feet were socked, Eggy on the sofa had just managed to pull the sock off his own chubby foot.
He handed the removed sock to his older brother.
Feng Yuan grinned even wider, laughing happily.
“Egg, you’re so filial!”
Knowing that his brother needed socks, he was afraid his brother wouldn’t have enough, so he took off his own little socks.
Such a well-behaved Eggy made Feng Yuan feel his heart soften completely.
Chi Rong watched the two of them and felt his own heart soften as well.
The group stayed in the room for quite a while.
They only came out when it was time to eat.
Feng Yuan didn’t see Uncle Xiao Bai at the Yu family’s house. Uncle Xiao Bai was at the Yan family’s and hadn’t returned yet.
Yan Yingli from the Yan family could be considered fortunate in the face of misfortune this time.
Not only did he have Xiao Bai taking care of him, but he also received treatment from Bai Ze.
Bai Ze could heal his legs.
However, the legs weren’t easy to treat and required a bit of dragon bone.
Coincidentally, Xiao Bai had a dragon bone.
Xiao Bai was busy taking care of Yan Yingli and couldn’t find the time to return home.
Feng Yuan knew he was doing fine, so he wasn’t worried.
The dinner at the Yu family’s house was lavish.
Feng Yuan gnawed on a chicken leg while watching Eggy, who could only hold a bottle to drink milk. He felt a little sorry for him.
“Godfather, when can Eggy start eating food?”
“In another two or three months.”
Yu Yi replied, “In another two or three months, we can start giving him complementary food.”
Although Eggy’s teeth were growing well, he was still too young. His digestive system wasn’t fully developed yet.
Introducing complementary food too early would be hard for him to digest.
Feng Yuan looked at Eggy, who was holding his bottle but eyeing the food on the table. He patted his little chest and said, “Yuan Yuan will cook for Eggy.”
When the time came, he could make the food for his little brother!
“Alright, then we’ll have to trouble our Yuan Yuan.”
The dinner table was filled with laughter and conversation, creating an indescribably harmonious atmosphere.
They stayed at the Yu family’s until it was dark before the little ones headed home together.
When Feng Yuan returned home, he didn’t sleep in the bedroom with Qin Xun.
The little guy went to sleep in his dads’ big bed.
The two adults slept on either side, with the little guy in the middle. The scene looked incredibly warm.
It was already quite late.
But Feng Yuan wasn’t sleepy. He was still chattering away with his dad.
“Dad, will you still go out?”
“Dad will definitely have to go out. Dad still has work to do.”
Feng Qi hugged his son and kissed the top of his head.
“In the future, Dad will make more time to spend with you.”
The great demon Feng Qi was searching for, no matter how urgent he was, he couldn’t rush the results.
Since he couldn’t rush the results, he decided not to worry about it.
After all, with Li Sheng and a host of divine beasts helping him, they were all working to extend his life.
He wouldn’t die for the time being.
There was still plenty of time ahead. He could slowly search for the demon’s whereabouts.
Before finding that demon, it was a good opportunity to let Li Sheng’s power grow a bit more.
He couldn’t purify demonic energy, but Li Sheng could devour it.
As for Qin Xun’s parents, their life lamps had already been lit.
As long as the life lamps remained lit, their vitality would not fade.
In the future, Qin Xun would surely reunite with his parents.
“Yuan Yuan, Dad has been very busy these past six months and hasn’t spent much time with you. Do you blame Dad?”
“No.”
Feng Yuan didn’t blame his dad at all.
Although Dad spent much less time with him than before, Feng Yuan knew that Dad was doing important, meaningful work!
As a little phoenix born with a strong sense of justice, he was very proud of his dad!
The father and son shared heartfelt words, growing more affectionate as they spoke.
In the end, Feng Qi gently nibbled on his son’s chubby little cheek, reluctant to let go.
His little one was truly fragrant, soft, and well-behaved.
Just the night before, the father and son had been enjoying a harmonious and loving time together. But the next morning, Feng Qi, who was packing his son’s schoolbag, flew into a rage.
“Didn’t you take your bag to Eggy’s place yesterday? How come you didn’t do your homework?”
“Um, Uncle Yazi hid it for Yuan Yuan.”
“Lies! Keep making things up! Your Uncle Yazi didn’t hide your homework this time!”
“Feng Yuan! You’re going to be the death of me!”
What kind of child goes to kindergarten like this every single day?
If the adults didn’t keep an eye on him for even a day, this little rascal would act up!
The father-son bond was shattered early in the morning. Feng Yuan, held down by his father, tearfully began catching up on his homework.
The warmth and affection between father and son were always abundant, as long as homework and kindergarten weren’t mentioned.
But the moment studies came up, their bond would instantly fracture.
Days like this, full of chaos and commotion, passed one after another. Before they knew it, over half a year had gone by.
In those months, Feng Yuan had grown just a little taller.
Though he’d gotten taller, the chubby baby fat on him hadn’t shed at all.
He remained a fair, tender, and plump little guy.
By the end of August, the weather was sweltering.
Feng Yuan’s chubby little figure appeared by the seaside.
He was there to enjoy his summer vacation.
On the sandy beach, Feng Yuan sat bare-chested, without even a sun hat, while building a sandcastle.
Rong Rong, dressed in a floral shirt and shorts set, wore a large sun hat on his head.
He was building the sandcastle alongside Feng Yuan.
Emulating his older brother by not wearing a hat, Eggy crawled and stood alternately beside them.
Eggy had already learned to stand, though he hadn’t quite mastered walking yet.
After a few days of playing on the beach, Eggy had tanned into a little Eggy.
Feng Yuan and Rong Rong, however, remained fair-skinned.
The sandcastle they were building was enormous.
They planned to move into it once it was finished. Not far away, Chi Rong, who hadn’t yet laid an egg, dozed off while keeping an eye on them.
