Thank you, quayA, for the ko-fi~
Feng Yuan’s eyes were fixed on the TV. After answering Bo Han’s question, he even giggled a couple of times.
The bad dinosaur on the screen was beaten to a pulp by Ka Tu Tu!
Watching the bad dinosaur get beaten up, Feng Yuan even waved his little fists, completely immersed in the scene.
Beside him, Bo Han looked utterly bewildered.
“When did I ever pick up Rong Rong?!”
As he spoke, Bo Han turned to Feng Qi: “I haven’t been around these past few days!”
He hadn’t been living here before. Because of the move, he had been traveling back and forth between two places.
He had been exhausted these past few days and definitely hadn’t come to pick up Rong Rong.
Hearing Bo Han’s words, Feng Qi also realized something was wrong.
“Wait, you didn’t take Rong Rong back to sleep these past few nights? And during the day, after meals, you didn’t pick him up either?”
Bo Han: “No, I didn’t!”
Bo Han: “Where’s my son?!”
The adults compared notes. The more they talked, the worse their expressions became.
Feng Qi gritted his teeth.
He picked up the remote control and turned off the cartoon that had been replaying in their house countless times.
As soon as the cartoon was turned off, Feng Yuan immediately sat up.
He tilted his little face upward, opening his mouth to wail.
But before he could let out a sound, he saw Bo Han standing with his two dads.
Feng Yuan: “…”
His open mouth trembled in fright, and he let out a hiccup.
Bo Han was staring right at him: “Yuan Yuan, where’s my Rong Rong?!”
Feng Yuan’s little face paled. He looked like he wanted to run.
Feng Qi knew his son’s expressions all too well.
He grabbed his son before he could escape and began interrogating him sternly.
“Where is Rong Rong?! What have you been up to these past few days?!”
Feng Qi’s interrogation and Bo Han’s anxiety left Feng Yuan with no way to escape.
He hung his little head, his small voice muffled and whiny: “Yuan Yuan didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Rong Rong is playing with his daddy.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi almost couldn’t resist slapping his son’s bottom.
“You’re still lying to me! Rong Rong’s daddy is standing right in front of you!”
Feng Qi was so angry at his chubby little son.
These past few days, the little chubby kid had been unusually well-behaved. He’s not going out to collect scraps, nor playing any strange games.
He had been staying quietly at home every day. When it was mealtime, he would go to pick up Rong Rong.
Feng Qi’s heart had melted at how obedient he was.
Just this morning, Feng Qi had even praised his son on Weibo.
With the popularity of the variety show’s live broadcast, everyone now knew about King Yuan Yuan’s troublemaking abilities.
All the fans knew that every spanking King Yuan Yuan received was well-deserved!
Feng Qi had checked the comments online.
He had even made a special effort to defend his chubby little son.
But no sooner had he defended him in the morning than he was proven wrong by noon.
Seeing the adults’ grim expressions, Feng Yuan finally whimpered and confessed everything.
“Rong Rong has two daddies.”
“He’s with his new daddy now, at Qin Xun’s villa.”
“We caught the new daddy and made him take care of Rong Rong.”
Feng Yuan’s honest confession left both Feng Qi and Bo Han speechless.
That demon, Chi Shui, had been captured by these kids?!
Bo Han thought of his little fox and then of the demon, who had no paternal love whatsoever.
He felt utterly distraught.
“Where is Qin Xun’s house? I need to find Rong Rong!”
“It’s right behind my house.”
As he spoke, Feng Qi prepared to take Bo Han there.
Bo Han hurried after him.
Feng Qi glanced at Feng Yuan, who was only wearing a sweater. He decided not to bring him along.
Before leaving, he issued a warning to Feng Yuan:
“I’m taking Uncle Bo Han to find Rong Rong first. Feng Yuan, you just wait. You’re going to get it!”
This little chubby rascal was getting more and more audacious!
He had been fooling the adults for days.
Even though his motive was for Rong Rong’s sake, such deception was something even Grandpa and Grandma wouldn’t dare shield him from.
After delivering the spanking warning, Feng Qi turned and left.
Left behind, Feng Yuan pouted.
He looked pleadingly at his big dad, who had just returned home.
Li Sheng met his son’s pitiful gaze and felt a pang of softness. But then he thought of Feng Qi…
There was nothing he could do.
Not wanting to be clung to and begged by his son, Li Sheng wisely turned around and hurried after Feng Qi.
Feng Yuan: “!”
Feng Yuan had been ready to throw himself at his big dad!
Watching his big dad walk away, Feng Yuan, still in his little cotton socks, dashed through the villa.
He ran to find Grandpa and Grandma.
When they heard he was about to be punished, they sighed helplessly.
“Yuan Yuan, when your dad disciplines you, Grandma and Grandpa can’t interfere,” Frida said, her heart aching at the sight of her teary-eyed grandson.
“How about Grandma prepares the ointment for your bottom in advance? After your spanking, I’ll apply it for you, okay?”
Feng Yuan: “…”
Tears welling up in his eyes, Feng Yuan ran off again.
Next, he went to find his uncle.
His uncle was on the phone, discussing with Li Si and Li Wang.
Li Si and Li Wang were bringing their maternal grandparents to celebrate the New Year here.
Feng Yuan waited eagerly for his uncle for a while.
Seeing that his uncle was still busy, he trudged away with heavy little steps.
His little uncle wasn’t home.
He had taken Su Miao out to play.
His aunt was on a date with the captain of the university’s rugby team.
Feng Yuan was desperately trying to save himself.
But at home, no one could help him.
“Uncle Dragons…”
Feng Yuan sniffled and murmured the names of his dragon uncles.
The dragon uncles weren’t home either.
Some were guarding Yu Yi, who was about to lay an egg, while others were out working.
They had learned about the local customs.
For the upcoming New Year, they needed to prepare lucky money for the baby and the egg.
Also, the newly laid egg would need a little golden lock.
The sea dragons’ recent wish list included: two little golden locks. One for Yuan Yuan and one for the little black egg.
A new set of clothes, just for Yuan Yuan.
The egg didn’t need clothes. Even if it did, they wouldn’t be able to find any that fit.
Two big red envelopes.
This was the most important: the lucky money.
In the Spring Festival tradition, lucky money carries very auspicious symbolism!
Aside from these essential gifts, the sea dragons also wanted to stock up on New Year’s treats.
For example, candies, chocolates, and all kinds of snacks and drinks that the baby loved.
That way, when the baby visited, he would be happy.
The sea dragons had become quite skilled at working.
Even Bai Chen, the heavily internet-addicted dragon, had managed to earn money online.
He had started offering paid gaming companionship.
Thanks to his pleasant voice and good luck, he had recently started making some income.
Once, he accidentally added the wrong person while adding a gaming client.
But the other person didn’t tell him at first.
Bai Chen sent over the game link, and the other person registered on the spot.
They played together for quite a while.
Bai Chen received a complaint on the gaming companion app and finally realized he had added the wrong person.
He had thought he was being taken advantage of for half a day without pay.
So, he pressed the voice message button and thoroughly scolded the person who had been gaming with him.
After his rant.
The other person sent him 1,200 yuan.
Bai Chen’s usual rate was 20 yuan per hour.
They had played together for six hours, so Bai Chen’s pay should have been 120 yuan.
But this person who had made the mistake gave him 1,200 yuan.
Seeing his pay multiplied tenfold, Bai Chen stopped cursing.
He opened the WeChat chatbox and sent a sticker: Yuan Yuan grinning.jpg.
After Feng Yuan finished recording the parenting variety show, not only did he become popular, but his stickers also went viral.
Stickers featuring him quickly became the most frequently used ones recently.
There was profit to be made from creating stickers.
Feng Yuan could earn a share of that profit.
But he asked his dad to donate the money he earned from the stickers to the children in the village.
Feng Yuan also knew some children in the village.
The village children had never been to an amusement park. The facilities at the village elementary school seemed even worse than those at Feng Yuan’s kindergarten.
Feng Yuan said to use his money for the children.
Feng Qi, respecting his wishes, added some money of his own along with Li Sheng, and organized children’s educational activities in some remote villages, as well as building free amusement parks.
Now, Feng Yuan’s stickers were fully stored on the phones of the sea dragons.
The dragons loved using their baby’s stickers when chatting.
Bai Chen, the internet-addicted dragon, was still using Feng Yuan’s stickers to chat with his new boss.
Feng Yuan couldn’t find the dragons to ask for help, so he ended up running to the bedroom alone.
Qin Xun wanted to go in and comfort him.
But Feng Yuan closed the door and asked him to wait.
Qin Xun waited patiently for a while before Feng Yuan finally came out.
Feng Yuan wasn’t dressed heavily at home.
The heating at home was strong, so Feng Yuan only wore thermal underwear, a sweater, and pants.
If he went out, he would add a thermal vest, a down jacket, cotton pants, and little cotton shoes.
“Yuan Yuan, your butt…”
Qin Xun looked at Feng Yuan’s butt and hesitated to speak.
Feng Yuan knew he was going to be spanked.
He had padded his butt in advance.
He found some books and stuffed them into his pants to cushion his butt.
This way, when his dad spanked him, it wouldn’t hurt.
Seeing his new tactic, Qin Xun couldn’t help but advise, “Yuan Yuan, maybe you shouldn’t pad your butt.”
He thought that if Uncle Feng Qi saw Yuan Yuan’s newly padded butt, Yuan Yuan would end up crying even harder.
Feng Yuan didn’t listen to Qin Xun.
He personally felt this would make him more resistant to spanking.
“I’m going to watch TV.”
Since his dad hadn’t returned to spank him yet, Feng Yuan wanted to seize the time to watch a bit more TV.
Feng Yuan lay back on the sofa and started watching his cartoon.
Meanwhile, at Qin Xun’s villa.
Feng Qi and Bo Han, who had arrived earlier, were stunned as soon as they pushed the door open.
The villa was covered in ghostly scribbles and some kind of array…
The windows were also tightly sealed.
It seemed the kids weren’t joking when they said they were catching a demon.
They had really put it into practice.
The villa was large.
The two walked further inside and found Rong Rong on the several-meter-wide balcony.
Rong Rong was sitting in the demon’s lap, looking at a picture book.
His little finger pointed at the words in the book, and the demon was reading them to him.
The two, one big and one small, were sitting sideways, facing Bo Han.
The winter sunlight spilled onto the balcony.
The two figures, one large and one small, were enveloped in light.
Bo Han stared in a daze.
He instinctively pinched himself. As a sudden wave of pain washed over him, he shook his head.
“I’m not dreaming… This is real.”
The scene before him, which he almost couldn’t recognize, was truly happening.
Bo Han didn’t find it heartwarming.
He found it utterly horrifying!
“What is Chi Shui plotting?”
Bo Han stared uncertainly at the profiles of the two, one large and one small, before finally settling his gaze on Feng Qi.
Feng Qi had learned that the demon was Rong Rong’s father.
He thought it was rather nice that the father and son could get along well.
“Bo Han, don’t think of him as entirely bad. He’s Rong Rong’s biological father. It’s only natural that he’s good to Rong Rong now.”
Bo Han: “…”
Bo Han: “No, it’s not natural.”
Bo Han wasn’t easily fooled.
He understood the nature of demons all too well.
Demons didn’t value reproduction. Their attitude toward their offspring was nothing like that of humans.
Bo Han simply didn’t believe the demon could love his Rong Rong.
The demon’s feelings for him might not even be love but rather driven by possessiveness.
Bo Han took a deep breath and looked again at his own Rong Rong.
Whether it was Feng Yuan’s brainwashing that had been too effective or the time they had spent together over the past few days, Rong Rong had truly come to love the demon as his father.
Bo Han could see at a glance that Rong Rong had genuinely accepted this father.
After the demon read him a picture book for a while, Rong Rong even stood up from his lap and planted a kiss on the demon’s cheek.
Seeing Rong Rong’s affection for the demon, Bo Han grew increasingly uneasy.
He couldn’t bear to watch any longer.
“Rong Rong!”
He called out, striding forward in a few large steps.
Rong Rong, still on the demon’s lap, was scooped up by Bo Han.
Bo Han kissed his little cheek.
“Rong Rong, it’s been days since Daddy last saw you. Did you miss Daddy?”
Rong Rong nodded.
Bo Han continued to kiss him. “Daddy missed Rong Rong so much.”
“Our new home is ready. Let’s go take a look now, okay? Daddy redid your playroom. You can play there with Yuan Yuan from now on.”
Bo Han didn’t even glance at the demon.
He carried Rong Rong and walked away.
Rong Rong leaned on his shoulder, his little face turned back to look.
“Daddy.”
He pointed a small finger at the demon.
He was calling for his new daddy.
He wanted his new daddy to come home, too.
Yuan Yuan had said that both daddies were supposed to live together.
At night, he could sleep between his two daddies.
Rong Rong called out to the demon.
But Bo Han acted as if he hadn’t heard. He carried Rong Rong and strode back to his new home.
Rong Rong watched as the demon’s figure grew farther and farther away.
His outstretched little hand slowly drooped.
By the time Bo Han carried him home, he realized Rong Rong had started crying at some point.
The little one’s entire face was already wet with tears.
Rong Rong, who had never been willful or begged his daddy for anything before, now looked up with his tear-streaked face and cried, “Daddy hasn’t come home yet.”
Bo Han: “…”
Bo Han watched as his precious child cried so pitifully.
His heart ached as he pulled the little guy into his arms.
“Don’t cry, Rong Rong.”
In front of his son, Bo Han had no choice but to relent.
“Daddy will go call him back, okay?”
Bo Han truly didn’t want the demon to return.
He knew the demon hadn’t developed any paternal love for Rong Rong.
If he continued to let him stay with Rong Rong…
If Rong Rong ever finds out the truth, it will likely be even harder for him to accept.
Bo Han was deeply troubled.
No matter how many reservations he had, he had no choice but to agree to let Rong Rong bring the demon back.
The demon, left behind by Bo Han, hadn’t left either.
The demon knew the fox would return.
On the balcony, there was a tatami mat where the demon sat, with Rong Rong’s picture books beside him.
Feng Qi hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to invite the demon to the Li family’s home.
Qin Xun’s house hadn’t seen a stove lit in a long time.
With the demon alone here, he wouldn’t even get a warm meal.
Just as Feng Qi was still hesitating, Li Sheng walked in.
“Feng Qi.”
As soon as Li Sheng arrived, he wrapped a scarf around Feng Qi.
Feng Qi had rushed out earlier without even wearing a scarf.
“Bo Han has left. Shall we head back, too?”
Li Sheng had just gotten home and hadn’t even had a proper conversation with Feng Qi yet.
Feng Qi intended to go back.
But he pointed toward the balcony, wanting to ask Li Sheng what to do.
He had meant to discreetly draw Li Sheng’s attention to the balcony.
However, he hadn’t expected the demon, who hadn’t been looking this way earlier, to suddenly turn his gaze toward them.
Feng Qi was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
Lowering his voice, he said to Li Sheng, “This is the one I told you about. The one from Bo Han’s house.”
Feng Qi and Li Sheng, as a couple, shared everything with each other.
Feng Qi had long since told Li Sheng all about the demon’s background.
Having heard so much from Feng Qi, Li Sheng was no stranger to the demon.
Seeing the demon looking at him, Li Sheng gave a slight nod as a friendly gesture.
He patted the back of Feng Qi’s hand, signaling him to stay put.
Then, he walked over to the balcony.
“Hello, I’m Li Sheng, Feng Qi’s partner and Yuan Yuan’s father.”
“Bo Han has gone home. Would you like to come to our place for a visit?”
Li Sheng extended the invitation politely.
Once, Li Sheng had not been the most amiable person. But after raising Feng Yuan, he had been tempered quite a bit. His temperament had improved significantly since then.
He felt his invitation was perfectly appropriate.
But the demon suddenly expanded in size.
Li Sheng was enveloped in a dark mist. From within it, something resembling vines or tentacles wrapped around his neck.
The demon’s voice was bone-chillingly cold.
“You’ve been reborn, too.”
“How dare you be reborn.”
Before the demon could say more, a golden phoenix light suddenly pierced through.
“Let him go!”
Feng Qi’s goodwill toward the demon, who had tried to harm Li Sheng, vanished instantly. “How dare you lay a hand on my person!”
In his prime, the phoenix had no trouble slaying demons.
Out of consideration for Bo Han and Rong Rong, Feng Qi had held no prejudice against this demon and had even shown friendliness.
But this demon had dared to touch his person!
Feng Qi was furious and engaged in a fierce battle with the demon.
The two fought inside the villa.
Feng Qi didn’t forget to remind him, “Everything in this house is extremely expensive! If you dare damage anything, you’ll have to pay for it at full price!”
Qin Xun’s villa had been meticulously decorated back when his parents were still around.
The screens and ornaments in the villa were all very costly.
Moonlit: Oooooh~ Who could Li Sheng really be? Considering Chi Shui’s hatred, could Li Sheng be the reincarnated Yellow Emperor or maybe the Flame Emperor?
