I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

Shen Jiuyuan forced a gentle and warm smile onto his stomach, a smile so gentle it was almost unbelievable.

"Little Phoenix, what do you want?"

Xu Nanyi, inside the eggshell within his abdomen: "???"

She was so frightened that her mind went blank, and she froze on the spot!

Help!

Something is wrong!

When did her dad become so gentle?!

Previously, he had complained that her younger brother was a crybaby, treated him like insect food, and held a grudge against his mother every day, which was a volatile old man!

Xu Nanyi stretched out the tip of her tiny wing and cautiously probed inside the eggshell.

Could it be that her mother has over-managed and disciplined her, or that she has been put on some kind of docile puppet thread and had her personality changed?

"Father...are you alright?"

Upon hearing this innocent expression of concern, Shen Jiuyuan's heart softened.

Is Little Phoenix so thoughtful and sensible?

Sensing his predicament, she would also proactively inquire whether he was alright.

A surge of inexplicable warmth and emotion welled up in Shen Jiuyuan's heart, and his tone became even more gentle and doting.

"Father is fine. You want that glass bottle over there, don't you?"

Xu Nanyi nodded frantically.

"Yes, yes, that's it! That's the one that helped my cultivation and bloodline transformation immensely!!"

Hearing his daughter's unwavering trust and joy, Shen Jiuyuan readily agreed, since the treasure wasn't his anyway.

"OK."

"Take a good look at this treasure trove, and take anything you fancy or that you can use."

"I'll get them all for you."

Xu Nanyi's pupils lit up instantly inside her womb; she was so surprised she almost rolled around in her eggshell!

"Really?!"

Shen Jiuyuan lowered his eyes to look at his lower abdomen and coaxed softly, "Really? Isn't Daddy especially good to you?"

No sooner had the gentle, coaxing words fallen than a soft, faint female voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Who are you talking to?

Shen Jiuyuan's back stiffened instantly. He forced himself to adopt the aloof demeanor of a demon lord and stubbornly argued without turning his head.

You misheard me, I wasn't talking to anyone.

Xu Yuan approached slowly, a faint smile on her face.

"Shen Jiuyuan, I am neither deaf nor blind."

As she spoke, her gaze gently fell on his protruding belly, her tone instantly becoming extremely gentle, as she spoke to the little one inside him.

"Daughter, don't listen to your father's nonsense."

She raised her hand and pointed lightly around the vast treasure trove, her gesture both casual and extremely domineering.

"This entire treasure trove belongs to my mother."

"When you are born, you will inherit everything."

"Don't believe your dad's empty promises; he has absolutely no say in this matter."

"If you see something you like in the future, just tell your mother, and she'll save it for you."

"You can choose all the treasures first; only what's left will be your father's turn."

Shen Jiuyuan: "..."

He was really driven to the brink of exhaustion by this person!

How can you make such an outrageous wish!

Not only did they snatch his daughter, but they also insisted on taking a huge advantage over him in the order of the treasures!

Shen Jiuyuan was furious and felt extremely wronged.

How could you do this!

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow innocently and asked, "What about me?"

"What do you mean she gave me what she didn't have?!"

Shen Jiuyuan was utterly speechless. "Can't you treat everyone equally?!"

"You clearly have two children, but you only have eyes for the phoenix cub?"

What he said was one thing, but what Shen Jiuyuan was really thinking.

Fine, you're biased, aren't you?

You put me last in the list, right?

Then I'll take even more advantage and scam even more!

Anyway, once I've laid the eggs and regained my freedom, I'll take both of these kids back to the Demon Realm!

It doesn't matter if you're biased now, all the children will be mine in the future!

Xu Yuan glanced at him indifferently and spoke with a half-smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I only intended to keep the phoenix eggs."

"Now one for each of us is just right, one for you and one for me, it's perfectly fair."

"If you don't want the remaining little dragon, I can afford to raise it."

"It's just another mouth to feed, I don't care."

The wish is a carefully calculated plan in the heart.

Perfect timing, another dragon cub! The remaining dragon tribes are still somewhat defiant of the demon realm's control. With this pure-blooded dragon, subduing the dragon race and suppressing the tribes in the future will be much easier.

They raised them to adulthood and then sent them to be the chief of the dragon clan.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiuyuan panicked instantly and immediately changed his tune, retorting, "When did I say I didn't want it anymore?!"

He stubbornly argued his case.

"Even if each person gets one, you can't be so biased!"

"Children are sensitive; if you show favoritism, they'll be hurt!"

Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback, a genuine look of surprise appearing in her eyes as she looked him up and down.

"I never expected you to have the empathy to consider a child's feelings?"

Shen Jiuyuan was caught off guard by the question and, losing face, hastily tried to salvage the situation: "...He told me in a dream last night, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes sharpened instantly, and she immediately grasped the key point.

"You bastard, Shen Jiuyuan!"

"You can communicate with the child in your womb through spirit and dreams, yet you didn't tell me?"

"Did you plan all along to secretly bring both of my children back to the Demon Realm?!"

Shen Jiuyuan felt a pang of unease, his eyes darting around.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Xu Nanyi, inside the eggshell, peeked out from under the thin inner wall, curiously observing the melon.

But the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.

The ruthless and fierce Demon Lord father always exudes an inexplicable air of coquettishness when facing his mother in public...

It lacks even the slightest bit of the domineering aura of a supreme being from the Demon Realm!

However, she quickly put this doubt behind her.

Compared to her father's contrasting personality, the bottle of essence blood placed in the center of the jade platform was far more tempting!

She immediately activated her divine sense, sending a soft, telepathic message straight out: "Mother! I want that glass bottle filled with red blood~"

A clear, soft child's voice suddenly rang out.

Xu Yuan was still staring at Shen Jiuyuan, ready to expose his little scheme.

At that moment, all attention was instantly drawn away by the childish voice coming from inside her belly.

She knelt down in disbelief, gently placing her palm on her swollen belly, her eyes filled with shock.

She had heard of beings born with spiritual connections in the womb and those who communicate through dreams.

Even while still inside the eggshell and unborn, it could clearly and autonomously transmit its consciousness—

This is no longer just about high talent!

This is absolutely outrageous and defies all reason!!

The tone of his wish was tinged with disbelief.

"Child...you...you're conscious? You can even speak?"

Before Xu Nanyi inside her could respond, the rules suddenly pressed down.

She could communicate with Shen Jiuyuan without any obstacles, but once she made a wish to outsiders, especially to her mother, the eggshell would automatically trigger the invisible rules of heaven and earth to restrict her, as if there was a thick barrier between them. Her spiritual energy was consumed greatly, and she could not sustain a long conversation at all.

She could only manage a short, soft moan, "Mother... Mother wants it."

With just two words, the transmission was completely severed, and no more divine sense could be transmitted.

Xu Yuan instantly and keenly noticed this strange difference in the rules, his eyes flickering slightly.

interesting.
