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

Shen Jiuyuan peeked half his head out from behind the door frame, cautiously looking towards the bed.

Xu Nanyi's round, dark eyes were clear and bright, blinking as she stared straight at him, her eyes filled with the innocent curiosity of someone who had just woken up.

Shen Jiuyuan's tense heart suddenly relaxed a lot. It seemed that the little phoenix was not angry with him.

He held the exquisitely carved food box in one hand, his fingers gripping it tightly. His heart tightened with each passing moment. As he entered the room, he deliberately coughed to cover his unease. He stood straight by the bed, at a loss, completely unsure of what to do next.

For a moment, the father and daughter stared at each other silently, neither of them speaking first.

Xu Yuan, who was standing to the side, had a headache watching this.

She had just personally stepped forward and demonstrated how to greet her daughter in a soft and affectionate voice, but the stubborn little dragon stood there like a wooden stick, unable to utter a single word.

Xu Yuan gently kicked his shin, glanced at him sideways, and secretly urged him with her divine sense: Speak up!

Shen Jiuyuan received the hint, suddenly came to his senses, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a dry word.

"morning."

The simple word "early" silenced both Xu Yuan and Shen Xizhou.

The mother and son moved in unison, raising their hands to cover their foreheads and sighing in unison, unable to bear watching the embarrassing scene any longer.

The example template is right here, yet this person still can't adapt at all.

Xu Nanyi's gaze had been fixed on the food box behind him, but upon hearing the "Good morning," her eyes slowly shifted from the food box to Shen Jiuyuan's face. She raised her soft, sweet smile and called out in a clear voice.

Good morning, Father!

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan and Shen Xizhou turned their heads sharply at the same time, both with the same look of shock on their faces: ...!! This actually works?

Shen Jiuyuan bit down hard on the soft flesh inside his mouth with his teeth, and his fingers gripping the food box so tightly that the corners of the box were almost deformed.

I kept telling myself to stay calm and not let my eyes get hot and watery at this moment.

But with excitement surging in his heart, he couldn't utter a second word for a long time.

Xu Nanyi looked around and saw that the three of them were all quiet and didn't say a word. She was a little puzzled, so she reached out and gently tugged at Shen Jiuyuan's wide sleeve and shook it, asking him curiously.

"Father, is this breakfast Xiaozhou made for me?"

Shen Jiuyuan immediately snapped out of his daze and whispered a correction: "No, I made this myself."

Xu Nanyi tilted her head and asked, "Where is the food Xiaozhou made?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jiuyuan's eyes turned red and misty as he looked down at his daughter.

"Does Xiaoyi not want to eat what Daddy made himself...?"

Xu Nanyi had never seen him look so aggrieved before, and she panicked instantly, waving her hands to explain.

"No, no! I want to eat it, I really want to eat what Daddy makes!"

Shen Jiuyuan's slightly reddened eyes cooperated by returning to normal, and he cautiously confirmed, "Really?"

Xu Nanyi was afraid that he would burst into tears at any moment, so she simply rushed forward, put her arms around his waist, and comforted him softly.

"Daddy, don't cry... Xiaoyi really wants to eat your cooking~"

A surge of warmth welled up in Shen Jiuyuan's heart, and his fingertips trembled with excitement. He quickly lifted the lid of the food box, revealing a variety of exquisite and soft breakfast items neatly arranged inside.

Xu Yuan coughed lightly twice and gently pinched her daughter's soft cheeks.

"Yiyi, you need to go to the table for breakfast, but you just woke up, what should be the first thing you do?"

Without hesitation, Xu Nanyi answered crisply, "Wash up!"

"That's right, now let Daddy take you there." As soon as Xu Yuan finished speaking, she smiled and raised her hand, giving Shen Jiuyuan's bottom a light pat.

Shen Jiuyuan froze, turning his head to stare at Xu Yuan with disbelief in his eyes.

She raised an eyebrow and sent a heartfelt message with a smile.

If you keep dawdling and don't go, then I'll take my daughter to wash up myself.

Shen Jiuyuan's ears burned instantly when she slapped him. He turned around, glared at her, and ran away in a flash, carrying the little phoenix.

He secretly thought to himself: Seriously! This woman is too good at stealing!

Little Phoenix is ​​usually most attached to her. He had finally managed to ease the tension and close the distance between himself and his daughter, but this woman actually tried to take the child away from him!

Watching someone's childish figure flee like the wind, Xu Yuan stood there with his arms crossed, clicked his tongue and sighed, shaking his head helplessly: "Look at this pathetic little thing."

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Shen Xizhou beside her, his little dragon horns on his head were red with anger, his cheeks were puffed out, and he looked indignant.

She suppressed a laugh and reassured him, "Your father didn't abandon you."

Shen Xizhou stomped his foot angrily, his childish voice full of grievance as he complained, "You stinky worm! You stole all the credit for making breakfast for my older sister!"

Make a wish: "..."

Well, the childishness of this father and son is indeed inherited from the same lineage.

……

From that day on, the father-daughter relationship between Shen Jiuyuan and Xu Nanyi visibly warmed up rapidly, becoming increasingly intimate and harmonious.

However, the Demon Lord's habit of crying hasn't changed at all.

His daughter would casually hand him a piece of pastry, casually compliment him on how delicious it was, take his hand, or sweetly fawn over him. Any little tender gesture could move Shen Jiuyuan to tears, with golden tears welling up in his eyes.

Every time, the wish came at just the right time.

A recording stone materializes at the fingertips, silently recording the entire process, then quietly archives it into one's own top-secret file—

Shocking! The Dark History of the Fifth Generation Demon Lord (A Timeless Collection)

In a short period of time, the thickness of the case files increased dramatically.

……

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to the extraordinary bloodline of both parents, Xu Nanyi's growth rate far exceeds that of ordinary children. She grows taller and transforms rapidly, and her appearance is already close to that of a six-year-old child in the mortal world.

The effects of the fairy tale fruit steadily enveloped her mind, leaving her with a pure, clear, innocent, and childlike spirit.

Her past life memories were blurred and faded deep within her consciousness, hazy and unclear, and she was too lazy to recall them.

There was only one thing that kept lingering in her mind.

She still remembered Sister Tongzi who had always been there for her.

But it's been a long time, and Sister Tongzi hasn't shown up again.

In the past, it was always Sister Tongzi who took the initiative to speak up, appear, and protect her; she had never taken the initiative to summon Sister Tongzi.

That evening, Xu Nanyi sat alone on the soft bed, obediently trying to call out softly, "Sister Tongzi?"

"Sister Tongzi, are you there?"

There was no response whatsoever.

This was her 300th failed attempt to call out.

Xu Nanyi collapsed onto the bed with a thud, her small body curled up, her big, dark eyes blinking, her heart filled with confusion and disappointment.

She pondered seriously: what could she do to get Sister Tongzi to come back and be with her?

Just as he was agonizing over this—

call out.

A small, round, golden, and translucent golden bead fell from the sky and gently landed beside her pillow.

Xu Nanyi was slightly taken aback, then quickly rubbed her eyes, stretched out her tiny finger, and gently poked the golden bead.

The instant your fingertips touch!

Suddenly, the golden bead burst forth with gentle golden light, shattering into tiny, sparkling golden powder that floated leisurely in mid-air.

Gold dust swirled and intertwined, gradually condensing into a transparent letter that shimmered with a soft light, each word clear and slowly unfolding.

【Dear little host:】

【I'm so sorry, Sister Tongzi, your sudden disappearance worried you.】

[A forced advanced dormancy has been initiated in order to break through to a higher level.]

[I simply ran out of energy during the upgrade and unexpectedly got stuck in a dormant zone, temporarily unable to awaken on my own or appear to be with you.]

To awaken me, you need to help me collect five treasures spanning five realms.

The five treasures are:

[Firstly, the Nine Netherworld Demon Realm - Demon King's Cauldron]

Secondly, the Endless Demon Realm—Sunset Divine Bow

Thirdly, the Nine Netherworld Domain—the Nine Netherworld Ghost Seal

Fourthly, the Dreamlike Sea – the Dreamlike Water Mirror

Fifthly, the Five Elements Spiritual Realm—the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Plate.

Once you've collected all five treasures, I can come back to you.

The letter paper shimmered softly, a gentle warmth enveloped the reader, and the moment the letter was finished reading, the gold dust slowly dissipated into the air.
