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

Everything was quiet at Shenhuang Residence, with nothing major happening. The only thing worth mentioning was that Shuten-dōji had made some moves recently.

Developing in Nanshan for so long has long reached a bottleneck. Nanshan is only so big, and it's already quite remarkable that it has developed to its current state. What Shuten is doing is cooperating with Shiwan Mountain.

It wasn't his idea to do it; Tamamo-no-Mae approached him first, and the two demons conspired together and that's how it happened.

Tamamo-no-Mae was already a demon king. Now that she has regained her strength and has Shuten-dōji's help, she can regain her voice when she returns to the Ten Thousand Mountains. As for Shuten-dōji, it's even simpler. They can cooperate now, and when they have the strength, he can directly become the demon king. In short, this is just a process.

Bai Qingyu stays at home every day to take care of her child and cultivate, especially with Xiaoya.

Occasionally, I would go out to try my luck and see if I could encounter any of the monsters listed in the monster register. Recording them in the register was considered completing my job.

The Demon Book is so strange. When she actively went out to look for one, she couldn't find a single one. But when she let things take their course, the demons seemed to come to her on their own initiative.

In particular, there is a female demon named Mianlingqi, who is from Tongzhou. She was originally the daughter of a wealthy family, but later killed her whole family because of some things. She has two personalities, and the masks around her are not easy to deal with. Some of the masks can even be "killed" by Mianlingqi.

Mian Lingqi wasn't originally called that, but it doesn't matter anymore. This girl is around fifteen years old. She doesn't like to talk, is somewhat depressed, and also suffers from schizophrenia. One rainy day, she collapsed at the entrance of Shenhuang Residence and was rescued by Zhen Tian. After being comforted by him in turn, she naturally ended up staying there.

During those days, Bai Qingyu felt helpless. This girl was too difficult to take care of. She was like two completely different people with a split personality: one was gentle and weak and dared not speak, while the other was a ruthless person.

Fortunately, through her efforts, the more ruthless personality was preserved.

She wanted to try her best with her gentle personality, but the problem was, she really couldn't handle that personality.

Since both personalities are Menreiki, it's not a matter of one eliminating the other, but rather a fusion. It's just that Bai Qingyu doesn't care who dominates.

This fiercer one is just right; it can suppress her several masks.

Even though she was in her Divine Phoenix Abode, these masks didn't dare to act recklessly.

Back to the point, Menreiki is said to be fierce, but in reality, he's just like that. In Bai Qingyu's eyes, he's cute and fierce. Once you get along with him, he's just like a normal person, and he's even a little shy sometimes.

One monster after another was recorded in the demon register, and Bai Qingyu couldn't help but worry as he looked at the few monsters in the underworld.

To see these demons, you have to go to the underworld and pass through two ghost gates.

Nobody knows what the underworld is like, and it's uncertain whether you can come out once you go in.

Besides that, there's the last demon named Shiranui.

In this daze, another three years have passed.

Xiao Yao has grown up a lot and goes out every day, sometimes with Yuzhanjin, sometimes by herself.

Of all the girls in the past few years, she has changed the most. Bai Qingyu felt that this was a good thing, but she also felt that she and Xiao Yao were not as close as before. She still called her "Mother" but could never go back to that feeling.

Recently, Xiao Yao has been clearly preoccupied because her best friend, Sakura Fairy, is leaving with that human man.

Xiao Yao pleaded with her, but the cherry blossom fairy remained unmoved. She believed in her love and in that human.

On the other hand, Mikoto is becoming more and more like a qualified Inari deity, and a temple has even been built for her in Tongzhou.

As for the others, the little snake successfully passed its tribulation and officially became a dragon. The other monsters, such as the spider lily, remained unchanged, enjoying their peaceful time.

Then there's Ji Xuan and Chang Sheng.

Three more years passed, and the situation outside finally stabilized. The key point is that the child is now six years old.

After discussing it, the two of them went to Bai Qingyu to discuss it. They decided to return to the Heavenly Sect soon and get the wedding done first.

The leader of the Heavenly Cult, Ji Canghai, readily agreed.

He had contacted Bai Qingyu quite a bit over the past three years. The old man was really anxious; he wanted to see his daughter, and even more so, his granddaughter.

Therefore, it must be said that members of the Demonic Cult are also human beings with feelings. Being labeled as a Demonic Cult is more of a matter of ideology.

"Then it's settled. We'll set off in five days."

In the courtyard, Bai Qingyu said this to everyone.

Everyone is going to the wedding banquet this time, firstly for the sake of celebration, and secondly to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, as it wouldn't be safe to leave anyone at home.

Volume Two: Journey Through the Demon Chronicles: Chapter Forty-Nine - The Land of the Heavenly Cult

Bai Qingyu naturally had to attend Liu Changsheng's wedding. Logically, Dong Qing should have come too, as it would be normal for her, as the older sister, to attend her younger brother's wedding. However, considering the opposing camps of the siblings, she decided against it. She was worried that if Dong Qing came, she might not be able to return, and her master would be in a hurry to find someone and directly confront the Heavenly Sect.

That night, Bai Qingyu and Zhen Tian discussed this matter.

"Sister, is it really okay for all of us to go to Changsheng's wedding? And what about Dongqing?"

"Of course everyone should go, we're all family. As for Dongqing, there's nothing we can do. Even if she wanted to come, she couldn't. In her words, her master now wishes he could tie her to his side every day and watch her cultivate. She doesn't even have time to rest. Every day, he trains until he's dead, as long as he doesn't die."

Holding Zhen Tian's delicate body in her arms, Bai Qingyu rested her head on Zhen Tian's shoulder.

Only at this time of day could she feel some comfort, being alone with Zhen Tian, ​​without having to think about anything or worry about anything. Holding her soft, warm body in her arms, they could chat or do things that children shouldn't see.

"Sigh, it's such a pity that Dongqing didn't come. The two of them grew up together, and this is a regret for Dongqing."

Zhen Tian spoke softly, shifting to a more comfortable position. As she moved, a strand of blue-purple hair fell in front of Bai Qingyu, its subtle fragrance refreshing. Bai Qingyu slowly closed her eyes and suddenly spoke.

"My son is about to get married, but I, as his aunt, am still single."

"Getting married is just a ceremony, that's not the important thing. Sister, don't be sad. At worst, we can hold another one after the world is at peace."

Zhen Tian's gentle voice made Bai Qingyu unable to suppress the restlessness in her heart.

Even though we've been married for a long time, I still find Zhentian to be incredibly cute and gentle at times, and I really want to hold her in my arms and tease her a little.

"Okay, let's do as Sister Zhentian says. We can hold another one when we have the chance later. I'm still worried about Changsheng. I'll see him off when he goes back tomorrow."

"Then you must be very careful, sister."

"Yes, wait for my good news."

Changsheng and Jixuan definitely didn't go to the Heavenly Sect with them. As the newlyweds, they had to go back early to prepare, and of course, they also had to bring their daughter, Chacha, with them.

For three years, no name has been given to Chacha. Chacha is still a nickname. Ji Xuan wanted to wait for Changsheng to return so that she could name the child.

After learning about the situation, Changsheng decided to name the child Chacha, with the surname Liu and the given name Chacha.

Otherwise, it would be somewhat inappropriate to change a child's name when they are already three years old.

Time passed, and it was late at night. Bai Qingyu was sleeping on the inside. There were some things she wanted to say earlier, but she still couldn't figure out how to say them.

The main issue is about the great calamity. Once the calamity occurs, she can't guarantee that she will be safe. What if something unexpected happens? What will Zhen Tian do then? It's better to discuss it now than to be heartbroken and not know what to do then.

The idea is good; no one can guarantee they'll be safe during a great calamity. But saying these things is unlucky and might make Zhen Tian overthink things, putting too much pressure on him.

After much thought, I decided to keep quiet. Strengthening myself is the real priority. If things get really bad, I can always go to the mountains, fight my way out, and then come out again.

As for the children, she really couldn't control Changsheng and Dongqing, but as for the others, they could just follow her.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Bai Qingyu got up early, tidied herself up quickly, and saw the couple coming out with Chacha.

After three years of companionship, Cha Cha had become very familiar with her father. She inherited Chang Sheng's personality; despite being at an age where she should be mischievous, Cha Cha was unusually quiet. She liked to sit under a tree reading and recognizing characters, or learning to play the flute.

She is completely different from other children her age, especially when Xiaoya is her age.

Looking at this little one, I always think of the time I spent raising holly and Changsheng in the Ten Thousand Mountains. This child is exactly like Changsheng back then, so well-behaved and sensible that it breaks my heart. I wish she could go out and play more, and laugh more.

Bai Qingyu had mentioned this to Changsheng more than once.

"Auntie, thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days." Ji Xuan said to Bai Qingyu, holding the child's hand. She felt a little sad about leaving all of a sudden.

Life at Shenhuang Residence was completely different from her past life. She had never told Bai Qingyu about this. When she was in the Heavenly Sect, she was a saintess. Every day she did either sacrifices or kill people, or she talked to other demonic sects. She was targeted by the righteous sects, and then she turned around and killed the people of the righteous sects. In short, it was dark.

But Shenhuang Residence was completely different. It was very, very ordinary, but she didn't find this kind of life boring at all. On the contrary, she felt that her previous days were truly dull and boring, not living at all, and had nothing to do with the word "life".

Bai Qingyu went over and picked up Chacha, patting her little head.

This girl always has a serious face, which is kind of cute.

“It’s not a hassle. Come on, I’ve already spoken with your father, and he’s sent someone to pick up the three of you. I’ll see you off, and in a few days, I’ll take everyone to your wedding banquet.”

One moment Bai Qingyu was smiling and talking to Ji Xuan, the next moment his smile faded and his gaze fell on Changsheng.

"Don't bully Xuan'er when you get back. If Xuan'er complains to me, I'll beat you up."

Changsheng looked helpless. When did his aunt become like this? It just goes to show that becoming a grandmother really makes a difference.

Cha Cha was about the same age as him when he was a child, but he never received the same treatment as Cha Cha. He was often beaten, while Cha Cha was treated like a precious gem by her aunt.

"Don't worry, Auntie, it won't happen."

Knowing that his aunt was just joking, Changsheng's eyes were filled with emotion.

He recalled what Bai Qingyu had said to him privately a few days ago.

Family responsibilities, a future catastrophe, a choice made by the Heavenly Cult, the rivalry between siblings...

Bai Qingyu used his aura to envelop everyone as they flew towards the Heavenly Sect, not wanting those annoying spies below to see them.

They chatted and laughed all the way, mainly about the wedding.

Changsheng didn't know much about marriage, and neither did Ji Xuan. Fortunately, Bai Qingyu had attended Xu Yuanqing's wedding and had a general understanding of the process. As they were talking, a dark figure appeared shortly afterward.

To be precise, she was a silver-haired little girl wearing a black robe. Bai Qingyu recognized her. She had long been familiar with the white hair and youthful appearance unique to the Demonic Sect. These little girls were all incredibly cute, but incredibly ruthless when it came to killing.

"I never expected that it would be Sect Leader Lin himself who came."

The little girl is the vice leader of the Heavenly Sect, possessing terrifying Mahayana-level strength, and is on par with the peak masters of the Heavenly Sun Palace.

"Divine Phoenix Lady, it's been a long time. Last time, when the Merfolk and my Heavenly Sect joined forces, we wanted to invite you to help. Unfortunately, hehehehe."

Lin, the leader of the sect, has a melodious voice like a silver bell, but he always gives people a sense of being old and decrepit. In reality, this guy is over a thousand years old. A loli over a thousand years old, it's not a question of whether it's legal or not.

"I'll pass. Let Leader Lin handle this. He's far more professional than me when it comes to killing."

"No, no, killing doesn't distinguish between professionals and amateurs. But, is it just Shenhuang who came today?" Leader Lin took off her large hood, revealing her face. She looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. Not to mention her red eyes, she also had two small tiger teeth.

The hair is tied up and secured with a hairpin. This hairstyle can only be seen on very mature women. Young girls cannot wear this hairstyle, so it gives off an indescribable feeling when you first look at it.

Who would have thought that the ruthless vice leader of the demonic sect would have such a different style?

"No, I just brought them here today. I'll go again in a few days. It won't cause any trouble."

"Oh, that's fine then. Just contact me when the time comes. I've been quite free lately and want to go out and get some exercise, but the cult leader won't allow it."

"No need. How can we let Leader Lin make one trip and then come a second? I can go by myself."

It's not that we don't want the old loli to come, it's just that she's too conspicuous. If she makes a move, everyone will be on high alert, and there might even be a fight. It's better for us to go ourselves. Once the luck is on our side, we'll be at the Heavenly Sect's aid without them even knowing.

"Alright, I'll head over there now. The cult leader urgently needs someone."

"Well, then I won't see you off. Xuan'er, may you live long and be careful on your journey." Bai Qingyu waved and watched the group leave.

They came and went in a hurry. To be honest, Bai Qingyu preferred communicating with these members of the demonic sect to chatting with righteous cultivators.
