Chapter 155 Returning Home!

Donghuangcheng, this ancient capital, exudes a solemn and mysterious aura.

The city walls soared into the clouds, constructed of massive bluestones.

Over the years, the stone surface has been marked with mottled traces.

The city gate was magnificent, with its vermilion gate inlaid with golden rivets, gleaming in the sunlight.

The heavy city gate slowly opened, as if welcoming a hero who had been away for a long time.

Stepping into the city, the streets are wide and clean, and the bluestone pavement is polished smooth as a mirror by the footsteps of pedestrians.

The buildings on both sides of the street are arranged in a staggered manner, with flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient architecture.

Shops lined the streets, their signs fluttering in the wind, and shouts of vendors rose and fell, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

It's not much different from the cities of the human race.

Looking up, the palaces in the city are even more magnificent, with their golden roofs shining brightly in the sunlight, like a fairyland on earth.

The palace is surrounded by pavilions, rockeries, ponds, lush trees, and fragrant flowers, making it a beautiful sight.

After entering the Eastern Imperial City, Hu Xiao did not go directly to the mansion bestowed upon him by His Majesty the Demon Emperor.

Its location is excellent, situated in a bustling area of ​​the capital, yet offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.

The mansion's main gate was magnificent, flanked by imposing stone lions.

When Xiong Er, who was in charge of guarding the gate, saw Hu Xiao return, he was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, you've returned!"

"Why are you guarding the gate here?" Hu Xiao asked, puzzled.

"Hehe." Xiong Er chuckled.

"I don't trust anyone else to help me here, as I'm unfamiliar with the area."

Tiger Roar burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Alright, go and get some rest. Now that I'm back, you can leave this to someone else!"

"Yes!" Xiong Er laughed.

Xiong Er then wanted to notify Luo Shuiyan and the others.

But Hu Xiao refused.

He simply asked Luo Shuiyan and the others where they were before entering the mansion.

Inside, a winding bluestone path leads deeper into the area.

The path was lined with exotic flowers and plants, colorful and fragrant.

In the garden, there are craggy rocks and a babbling brook, and an exquisite pavilion stands in the middle of the water.

In the pond, lotus flowers bloom and koi carp frolic, adding boundless vitality to the entire garden.

At this moment, Hu Xiao met his wives Luo Shuiyan, Qingxue, and Bai Yun.

Luo Shuiyan wore a gorgeous purple dress with exquisite floral patterns embroidered on the hem, and a golden belt around her waist, which made her figure even more graceful.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with a dazzling gold hairpin, and her face was exquisite.

Sensing the tiger's roar, she turned her head sharply, her eyes filled with tenderness and joy, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's so good to see you back. We've been waiting for you every day."

Qingxue wore a pink silk dress, its hem fluttering, as beautiful and charming as a peach blossom in spring.

Her hair was styled into two cute buns, adorned with pearl hair ornaments. She smiled sweetly, her eyes full of expectation, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I've been thinking of you constantly while you're away."

Bai Yun was dressed in a light blue dress, simple and elegant, her clothes fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

"Your Majesty, you've finally returned."

When they saw Hu Xiao returning from outside, they were all beaming with joy.

Hu Ruyan and Hu Jianxin were also extremely excited. They skipped and hopped over. Hu Ruyan, wearing a pink dress and with two pigtails, said, "Daddy, you're finally back! Tell us about the outside world."

Hu Jianxin said innocently, "Daddy, I miss you so much, hug me."

Hu Shuangjue and Hu Wukong also ran up to Hu Xiao. Hu Shuangjue, dressed in a blue robe, said like a little adult, "Father, is there anything interesting?"

Tiger Wukong tugged at Tiger Xiao's sleeve and said, "Father, I want to hear a story too."

They chattered incessantly.

Hu Xiao laughed and hugged Hu Jianxin, gently rubbing her face with his stubble, making Hu Jianxin giggle.

He patted Hu Shuangjue's head again and said, "Children, don't worry, Daddy will tell you slowly."

The family sat together, and Hu Xiao vividly recounted his experiences outside. The children listened intently, while the wives listened with smiles.

They knew that Hu Xiao spoke lightly, but in reality, it was fraught with danger.

"Ouch, my stomach!"

Just then, Qingxue felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

"Is she about to give birth?" Hu Xiao asked, both excited and anxious. "Quickly, call the midwife!"

……

Inside the room, Qingxue lay on the bed, her forehead soaked with sweat, her teeth clenched, her face pale.

Painful groans could be heard intermittently.

The midwives were busy around, encouraging Qingxue to push, saying, "Madam, give it your all, the baby is almost out."

"Wow!"

Not long after, the sound of a child crying was heard.

Hu Xiao hurriedly went into the room, held his newborn son, and named him Hu Kaixuan.

After all, this time I have returned victorious.

A system notification sounded in my mind.

【Ding! 】

[Host detected; new offspring born!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received the following rewards: one Bloodline Pill, two drops of high-level demon king's essence blood, the Cloud and Smoke Array, and the Burning Sun Array.]

Tiger Roar ignored the system's reward.

He hadn't seen his wife and children for a long time, and he spent the next few days with them.

He took his wife and children to the meadow outside the city.

The children laughed and ran on the grass, while Hu Ruyan and Hu Jianxin picked colorful wildflowers and wove them into beautiful wreaths.

Tiger Double Master and Tiger Wukong chased after butterflies, their laughter echoing in the air.

The wives sat in the shade of a nearby tree, watching their children play, their faces beaming with happiness.

Tiger Roar lay on the grass, basking in the warmth of the sun, feeling content.

At night, the family went to the market again.

The children looked curiously at all the novel gadgets and pestered Hu Xiao to buy them.

Hu Xiao smiled and granted their wish.

At night, after the children had all gone to sleep, Hu Xiao and his wives sat in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky, whispering their feelings to each other, a warm atmosphere permeating the entire courtyard.

Three days later, a demon envoy found Hu Xiao.

"Tiger Roar Demon King, in seven days, His Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne. This is where you will observe the enthronement ceremony!"

"Remember, you must not make a mistake!"

He then handed Hu Xiao a token!

"Thank you, Demon Envoy!"

Hu Xiao accepted it with a smile.

I've occasionally heard people mention this while I've been traveling these past few days.

I never expected the Crown Prince to wait so long.

At this time, the palace was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and a golden carpet stretched from the palace gate all the way to the main hall.

Tall stone pillars stand on both sides of the road, carved with mysterious runes and exquisite patterns.

The flags fluttered in the breeze, making a rustling sound.

The sky was a deep, jewel-like blue, cloudless, and the sunlight poured down, bathing the entire palace in a golden glow.

Tiger Roar looked in the direction of the palace.

He had a premonition that once the coronation ceremony was over, the campaign against the demons would begin!
