Chapter 483: Happy Times, Chen Changsheng: Are you ready?
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, Yin Qi’s mouth twitched.
“Do you really think I would believe such nonsense, Dad?”
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not; I am your father.”
“If you are really that free, you can go find your second mother to learn some music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If that doesn’t work, you can learn cooking from your mother.”
“Because if you keep questioning my identity as your father, I will definitely make you eat bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat.”
Upon hearing this, Yin Qi instinctively touched his backside, then turned and ran away.
Watching Yin Qi’s retreating figure, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said, “Little brat, still trying to get me to spill my secrets.”
……
By the riverside.
“Godfather, I’ve come to see you.”
Chen Xiang skipped into a small courtyard.
Hearing that voice, a beautiful woman stepped out.
“Chen Xiang is here, come in quickly. I made longevity noodles for you.”
Saying that, the woman led Chen Xiang into the house.
“Slurp!”
While eating the steaming longevity noodles, Chen Xiang mumbled, “Godmother, my dad is too much; he actually forgot my birthday again.”
Upon hearing this, the woman wiped the soup from Chen Xiang’s mouth and said, “Your father is a person who does great things; you need to understand him.”
“Besides, your godmother hasn’t forgotten your birthday.”
“I knew you were the best for me, godmother.”
“By the way, why didn’t Yin Qi come?”
Hearing this, Chen Xiang swallowed the noodles in her mouth and said, “He should be here soon.”
“My brother has been acting strange lately; he always doubts whether he’s my real brother.”
“He even said that foxes can’t give birth to half-demons with wings.”
“Because of this, the big lady has scolded him several times.”
“I think you all are too free every day.”
Just then, a man dressed in a straw coat walked in, accompanied by a kind-looking child.
This child was none other than Chen Changsheng’s eldest son, Yin Qi.
“Brother, why did you come so late? Godmother’s longevity noodles are ready to eat.”
Looking at his younger brother, Yin Qi smiled and said, “Only because Godmother spoils you. If Father knew you were running around all day, you would get beaten.”
“I know, I know. Quick, sit down and eat. You’re so annoying.”
Saying this, Chen Xiang pulled Yin Qi to the table.
Watching the two children in front of him, Chen Shisan took off his straw coat and said, “Today is your birthday, so I prepared a gift for both of you.”
“What gift?”
Hearing Chen Shisan’s words, Chen Xiang’s eyes lit up.
Seeing her reaction, Chen Shisan pulled out a finely carved wooden sword and a wooden Buddhist pendant.
Receiving the wooden sword from Chen Shisan, Chen Xiang immediately began to swing it around, making swooshing sounds with her mouth.
“Godfather, you understand me the best.”
“When I grow up, I will definitely be a wandering swordsman, dealing with injustice…”
“You probably won’t have that chance.”
Before Chen Xiang could finish her sentence, a figure appeared at the door.
Seeing the newcomer, Chen Xiang’s face immediately drooped.
“You’ve been playing outside for so long, and you still haven’t gone back.”
“You haven’t done your homework today.”
“Qi’er, you too, as the older brother, you should keep an eye on your younger brother.”
Faced with Hu Tudou’s scolding, Chen Xiang immediately hung her head and walked away.
However, as she left, Chen Xiang didn’t forget to rescue Yin Qi from the “Sea of Suffering.”
After the two children left, Hu Tudou looked at Chen Shisan and his wife.

“Two seniors, I know you care for them, but the master has already said that they must not come into contact with the cultivation world.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Chen Shisan’s eyes.
“I know, those are just some small trinkets; they won’t cause any harm.”
With Chen Shisan’s response, Hu Tudou didn’t say much and ultimately just turned and left.
After Hu Tudou left, Meng Yu became anxious.
“Wait, why did he just leave? At least let him finish his noodles.”
“Shisan, why don’t you go talk to the master?”
“Let’s tell the children the truth. Although time is tight, we can still raise them to adulthood.”
Faced with Meng Yu’s request, Chen Shisan shook his head and said, “No.”
“Why not?”
“Because the master is right.”
“Watching their parents d*e before their eyes would be a huge blow to them.”
“The seeds of hatred will be buried in their hearts forever. Do you want them to live their lives carrying that hatred?”
Hearing this, Meng Yu clenched her fists.
She understood all the reasoning, but the pain of not being able to acknowledge her own biological son was unbearable.
Looking at Meng Yu’s pained expression, Chen Shisan gently held her in his arms.
“The children are happy now.”
“They have a complete family and childhood, unlike the parents I lost when I was young.”
“I understand too well the importance of having parental companionship.”
“And once they enter the Sea of Suffering, there’s no turning back. We can’t provide that for Chen Xiang.”
“The Heavenly Mandate that Huafeng bears is imminent; our time is running out.”
……
New Heavenly Court.
A woman dressed in a golden phoenix gown stood on the mountaintop.
Behind her stood a handsome man.
“After fighting for so many years, aren’t you tired yet?”
“Your strength is already infinitely close to mine, but there’s still a gap between us.”
“That gap is the chasm between you and me.”
Hearing this, the man smacked his lips and said, “I really don’t know how you trained.”
“When I first entered the academy, I was indeed some distance behind you.”
“Later, I worked hard and finally managed to surpass you a little.”
“But ever since the extermination of the gods and demons, you’ve surged ahead. No matter how hard I try, I’m always a step behind you.”
“Why is that?”
In response, Huafeng turned to look at Xu Hu and said calmly, “To achieve greatness, one must first cultivate the heart.”
“Weaklings are as angry as tigers, while the strong are as calm as water.”
“I let go of my competitive spirit, so I naturally move faster than you.”
“That’s curious; without the competitive spirit, where does your motivation to progress come from?”
“You know very well what my motivation is; you just don’t want to say it.”
Faced with Huafeng’s words, Xu Hu smiled and didn’t answer.
He had witnessed what Huafeng experienced.
The vision was indeed not wrong; if he had gone through the same trials, he might not have made it as well as Huafeng.
“Hey!”
“You’re here too, Xu Hu? Just as I was looking for you.”
Chen Changsheng’s voice rang out.
Chen Changsheng slowly walked over from one side, followed by one of the three major figures, the God of Wealth.
“Master, is it time to cultivate the Heavenly Mandate?”
“That question shouldn’t be asked of me, but of yourselves.”
“Are you prepared to bear the Heavenly Mandate?”
Upon hearing this, both Xu Hu and Huafeng fell silent.
