I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

"Go and rest. You can sleep in the room I told you about tonight."

Bai Qingyu stretched and walked towards the room. She hoped that Bi'anhua's personality wouldn't corrupt Xiaoyao, but judging from their interactions during the day, that wouldn't be the case. Bi'anhua was a sensible demon.

"By the way, I'm taking Xiaoyao and Yuzhanjin out tomorrow. You stay at home."

"Oh, I want to go too."

The sound of the red spider lily came from behind.

"Okay, but don't interrupt tomorrow."

"I see."

Upon entering the house, Bai Qingyu saw that Zhen Tian and the baby were already in bed.

For some reason, Aya was very well-behaved when she was in Zhentian's arms, but as soon as she was in his arms, she was full of energy like she was being charged with electricity.

After quickly tidying up, Bai Qingyu slipped into the warm bed that Zhen Tian had already prepared. With a blank expression, she picked up Ya and placed her on the innermost side, then nestled herself in Zhen Tian's arms.

"Mahakata, I want to take Miketsu and the other girl out for a walk tomorrow. Miketsu is the Inari Goddess, right? I'll take her out to see the lives of farmers outside."

"Um, do you need my help?"

"Please take good care of my child."

Bai Qingyu herself felt embarrassed when she talked about this.

Even though she adopted this little girl, Zhen Tian has spent more time taking care of the child than she has.

“I will take good care of the child even if my sister doesn’t say anything. After all, this is our child, isn’t it?”

"Oh yes, what should we call the child when they grow up?"

Bai Qingyu fell silent after saying this, because she realized the problem.

She's a mother, so what about Zhentian?

It can't be the child's father, can it?

Are we supposed to make the child call Zhentian "Auntie" or "Auntie"?

I definitely can't call her "sister".

"Let's follow my sister's example. When the child grows up, she can just call me 'aunt,' and I'll accept that," Zhen Tian said softly.

For some reason, upon hearing Zhen Tian's words, Bai Qingyu suddenly felt like she was a heartless woman who toyed with a young girl's feelings and was unwilling to give her a proper title. The girl didn't even mind being a concubine, while she hesitated and refused to give him a definite answer.

That's not right either. He already has a child, but he goes out and has fun every day, leaving the child to be raised by her. In the end, she's not even willing to get married.

"No, just call for your mother. There's no rule that says a child can't have two mothers."

Bai Qingyu rested her head on Zhen Tian's chest, then shifted to find the most comfortable position.

"This isn't a good idea."

"It's okay, I'm in charge."

"Ok."

·

Early the next morning, Bai Qingyu took Yuzhanjin, Xiaoyao, and Bi'anhua out.

As for Miketsu, Bai Qingyu had wanted to teach her for a long time, but because she was still young and he was quite busy at the time, he kept putting it off until now.

In the sky, Bai Qingyu pointed to the busy farmers below.

“Mizuki, I remember you once said that once you had the power, you would help the suffering people of the world, right?”

Flying in mid-air, Miketsu held the little raccoon, which was bigger than a large dog, in one hand and gripped Bai Qingyu's skirt with the other, afraid that she would fall.

Hearing Bai Qingyu's words, she looked up and said, "Yes, Aunt, I want to help those people."

"Then let me ask you, if you had the same amazing abilities as your aunt starting today, and could go and help the people, and you see the people below getting up so early to work, what would you do?"

Miketsu thought for a moment, "They all work in the fields, so I'll help them grow their crops quickly so they won't have to work so hard and can stay home and relax."

Bai Qingyu nodded without answering, but looked at Xiao Yao and asked, "Xiao Yao, what about you?"

“I share the same thoughts as Miketsu.”

“I see. Then you two listen to me. Once you have the power, you can help people. Just like you said, you can make the crops in the fields ripen directly, saving them a lot of trouble. They can just wait for the crops to ripen and then harvest them.”

“You have helped them, but what about afterwards? After the food problem is solved, there are still problems with clothing and shelter. They know that you helped them. At first, they will believe in you, and then they will gradually become dependent on you. Today you help them to grow, tomorrow you have to help them to plant, and the day after tomorrow you have to help them to harvest, delivering the food to them batch by batch.”

Bai Qingyu waved his hand, and demonic power gathered in the sky, summoning a dark cloud that brought rain to a deserted place.

"Human desires are limitless. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are just the most basic things. If you unconditionally satisfy some of them, they will ask for more."

"Gold, silver, jewelry, beauty, power, and so much more."

"You can make them have good weather and abundant harvests, but you can't satisfy them in every way. Even when the weather is good, you have to be careful, because occasional wind and rain are necessary."

For the rest of the day, Bai Qingyu asked questions while explaining some profound principles.

Half a day passed, and even the spider lily seemed to be frowning.

You can't teach Bai Qingyu like that; just saying a few words won't help at all.

However, in the afternoon, Bi'anhua changed her mind. Bai Qingyu had found a street thug from somewhere who did nothing but cause trouble all day and even harmed a girl, leading her to hang herself.

Bai Qingyu used him as an example to show Yuzhanjin how terrifying human desires can be.

"So, once you become the Inari God, you must always remember this."

Please vote for me, I'm begging you!

Volume 1: Chapter 174 Raising and Teaching Kids

Just lecturing is useless, Bai Qingyu knew this well, so she chose to let the child remember it first after lecturing, and then give her a practical demonstration so that she would understand the power of it.

In the morning, Bai Qingyu lectured her, telling her the most basic things. In the afternoon, Bai Qingyu specially found a scoundrel to demonstrate to the two kids. At first, the man was indeed very short of food, but when Bai Qingyu, disguised as an old man, gave him some food.

Upon receiving the food, the man knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.

"Now, just watch how this man changes."

"I'm doing this according to your plan, to go directly to help this person."

Since the men didn't farm, Bai Qingyu gave them rice and flour to cook for them, which served as a substitute for farming.

Yu Zhuanjin and Xiao Yao nodded gently, hiding behind Bai Qingyu on either side, peeking out with their little heads, not daring to speak. They had both witnessed the changes in this man and were indeed curious to know what he would become in the future.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Bai Qingyu asked the other shore flower to watch over the two cubs from the sky, while she herself transformed into an old immortal and fell into the man's dilapidated and dirty house.

As soon as she entered, Li Er saw her and a bright smile appeared on his filthy face, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth and a foul odor emanating from his mouth. If it weren't for the demonic power that kept her in check, Bai Qingyu felt she would have died on the spot.

"Hehehe, please sit down, immortal. Please sit down, immortal."

"No need, I just came to visit you." Bai Qingyu said calmly, sweeping his whisk.

"Thanks to the immortal, I can finally fill my stomach and have a proper meal."

"Ah."

Bai Qingyu nodded and turned to leave, but Li Er hurriedly stepped forward, rubbing his dirty hands together. "Well, Immortal, look, I have rice and noodles, but I'm missing some oil and meat. Hehe, do you think we could arrange something else?"

He already had shifty eyes, and when he smiled, his squinting eyes made him look even uglier.

“I’ve given you rice and flour. Now that you’ve filled your stomach, you should go to the city to work. Have you forgotten what you promised me yesterday?” Bai Qingyu said.

"I haven't forgotten, I've remembered it all. It's just that I feel weak and uncomfortable without any oil or meat in my stomach. Immortal, how about this, could you give me some more oil or meat? I'll go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, then don't forget tomorrow."

Bai Qingyu raised her hand, and a small piece of pork skin with fat attached appeared in the man's hand. After giving him the pork, Bai Qingyu disappeared. The man, holding the meat, went into the house with great satisfaction.

A beautiful figure appeared behind the two little ones. Bai Qingyu pressed Xiao Yao's head with her left hand and Yu Zhuan Jin with her right.

"We'll come back the day after tomorrow."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Bai Qingyu flew with the two children to the sky above the man's courtyard. Judging from the man's leisurely appearance, he clearly hadn't gone out to work again.

Even the two maids noticed this and tugged at Bai Qingyu's sleeves.

"Auntie, why isn't he going to work at this hour?"

"Don't worry, just wait and see."

Bai Qingyu came to the courtyard again, and this time the man jumped up as soon as he saw him.

This time his excuse was simple: he said he had no clothes to wear, and it was very cold that day, so he was shivering all over and naturally couldn't go to work.

After saying that, she naturally asked Bai Qingyu for clothes.

Having received the tattered clothes that Bai Qingyu had bought from the market beforehand, the man's demands were not yet finished. This time, he knelt down before Bai Qingyu and asked her to give him some decent food.

Having had enough of plain white rice and flour, and having put on clothes, people are starting to crave something better to eat.

Bai Qingyu refused his request. Sure enough, as soon as she refused, the man started muttering to himself. Bai Qingyu glared at him, and the man's fawning smile returned. His expression changed incredibly quickly.

Bai Qingyu ignored him and reminded him again that he must go to work tomorrow.

The man verbally agreed, but his eyes darted around.

In the sky, Miketsu clutched the hem of her clothes.

"He has food to eat, meat to eat, and clothes to wear. He should be able to work and support himself this time, right?"

Upon hearing this, the other shore flower smiled and said, "He won't go. He's already tasted the sweetness, and from now on he'll just find all sorts of reasons to get benefits from your aunt, and his demands will become more and more outrageous each time."

"Why is this happening? He clearly promised his aunt, and he already had the strength."

Yuzuru was very puzzled. She recalled what Bai Qingyu had told her before, but for a moment she couldn't understand why this man was doing this.

I feel like I understand, but I also feel like I don't.

"If you can do it yourself, you'll have plenty to eat. Once he learns that there's something easier and more likely to make a living than working, he'll think, 'Since things are like this, why bother working? Wouldn't it be better to just stay home, sleep, and go out for a walk occasionally?'"

Bai Qingyu's figure appeared, "Don't just look, learn to think, think about what I told you a few days ago."

This time, the two children really started to think seriously, and their furrowed brows and tense little faces were especially adorable.

For the next few days, Bai Qingyu didn't go. Instead, she used a projection stone at home to show the two little ones whether the man had gone to work.
