Chapter 240 Wanting to be a good dad

"Is that so? It seems I've ended up breaking up this loving couple..."

"Hehe, husband, stop pretending. If it weren't for your help, how could that kid Yuechu be where he is today? In the end, it was you who secretly brought this marriage together."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled faintly and gently scratched Rongrong's delicate nose.

"You really can't hide anything from Rongrong."

"But as long as my silly little brother and Honghong are happy, I don't need to worry about anything else."

"Yes, my sister and Yuechu have been married for many years now, so we don't need to worry about them anymore."

"Besides, I've already secretly given that to my sister Ya Ya, so I believe their lives will get better and better~"

"Hmm, Rongrong is such a little rascal, hehe, my husband is pretty much the same."

The two smiled at each other.

Pink petals of the Bitter Love Tree fluttered in the sky above Tushan, while Rongrong and Yuechu nestled together below, gazing at the beautiful scenery of Tushan in the distance.

Fifty years later...

"Uncle-in-law, are you the best fighter in Tushan?"

A fox spirit girl dressed in a JK uniform chewed on some green gum, blew a big pink bubble, turned off the game she had lost, and looked at the young man with two small mustaches beside her with dead fish eyes.

"Hmph... That's right, your uncle-in-law once defeated the Golden-Faced Fire God! The number one fighter in Tushan... no, the world!!"

"You know Chu Batian, right? He was the pinnacle of combat power in both the human and demon realms. You were number one in the Tushan Martial Arts Tournament for ten years, but now you've lost to me!"

"Your uncle-in-law is invincible, I'm telling you!"

The somewhat mature-looking boy with a cockroach-like hairstyle stroked the two cockroach hairs on his head with a serious expression.

Tushan has now integrated the major demon realms. The Dao Alliance and the Demon Alliance have merged into one under the wave of technological explosion and have jointly entered the modern era.

High-rise buildings are everywhere in Tushan. Humans and demons live peacefully in Tushan, and everyone's face is filled with a faint smile of happiness.

Of course, there is a martial arts tournament every year, and the first place winner can receive a considerable amount of prize money.

"Hmm...indeed...Uncle, you did win the duel, but...your way of eating it was a bit unseemly..."

Yiyi remembered today's martial arts tournament, where her uncle-in-law pointed a finger at Chu Batian, the commander of last year's Imperial Guards...

It's hard not to suspect that the aunt's husband cheated...

"Even if my uncle is this... well, strong..."

"But when I ask passersby and students at the demon school, their answer is never 'uncle,' but rather 'a name called Dao Ye'..."

"Well..." Dongfang Yuechu stroked his mustache and coughed lightly twice.

"Actually, Yiyi, your father, who is also my older brother, has always told me not to tell you that the Taoist priest... is actually your father..."

"Huh? How could that be? Uncle, you must be joking."

Yi Yi pouted and hugged her arms, her big, watery purple eyes revealing disbelief.

"My father, Ya Ya's mother, and Rong Rong's mother have always lived on the back mountain of Tu Shan, planting flowers and plants. They would take walks when they had nothing to do, and at night they would make strange noises..."

"Hmm! It's not impressive at all, okay?"

Tu Shan Yiyi crossed her arms and nodded as she spoke.

Dongfang Yuechu looked helpless, recalling the scene of her brother Haoyang shaking all demons with divine fire in Tushan. She couldn't help but swallow. Hmm, it's good to be young. After all, her brother Haoyang's reputation back then was known to everyone in both the human and demon realms.

At the time, a saying circulated: "You might forget to eat and sleep, but if you forget who the Taoist Master of Tushan is, the Tiger Might Army and the Silver Moon Guards will really knock on your door..."

Of course, it was just a joke, but his brother Haoyang was much more domineering back then than he is now.

Hmm... not good for showing off a little bit...

But sometimes no one believes the truth. What to do then? Oh well, I'll just keep pretending to be cool.

"Of course, if my older brother were to use even one tenth of his strength to fight me, perhaps, well, I mean perhaps, your uncle-in-law could lose in a more elegant way."

"Hmph... Uncle-in-law, is it really okay for you to boost others' morale while diminishing your own?"

"Forget it, Aunt Honghong is home today, and we're out of ingredients. Yueyue and Qingqing will be home from school soon, and my two stinky older brothers aren't here either. How about I buy five servings of Pinduoduo Good Rice from the vegetable dumpling stand, and we can share them?"

"Hmm... but is the food on Pinduoduo really edible...?"

"Hehe, the main thing is it's cheap! And auntie-uncle, please don't tell my dad about me skipping class, or he'll give me a good scolding!"

Dongfang Yuechu felt ashamed as he looked at Tushan Yiyi, who was dressed in a JK uniform and white stockings, taking selfies and posting them on her WeChat Moments. His lips twitched violently. Yuechu recalled his childhood in Tushan.

My older brother would punish me with a large, filling meal of cold water and a leather belt whenever he saw me being even slightly unproductive...

Waaaaah! We're both kids, you can't be so biased, older brother...

However, adults should also have adult demeanor, and at least they shouldn't embarrass themselves here with this little brat, Yiyi.

Just at the beginning of the month, while Yiyi was chatting and boasting about which restaurant was cheaper and tastier, a beautiful figure with the unique charm of a mature woman appeared.

The woman possessed an exceptionally beautiful appearance and demeanor, with a faint smile playing on her lips.

She walked over, but unlike Hong Hong's stunningly beautiful face, she was carrying a bowl of black goo bubbling with purple skull-shaped lumps... It looked, well, a striking contrast...

"Yiyi, at the beginning of the month, come and try the turtle soup I made."

Tu Shan Yiyi and Dongfang Yuechu looked at the turtle that Tu Shan Honghong was holding, which was poking its head out of the purple liquid with a look of "Save me!" and their mouths twitched violently.

"Okay! It's up to you! The world's number one hero, I believe you can definitely complete the mission, Uncle! After all, you're the strongest!"

Yi Yi instantly switched to a fighting expression, and patted her uncle's shoulder in a serious and solemn manner.

"Thank you so much... Waaah, my niece, you're so filial..."

Dongfang Yuechu looked like he was about to cry, but he had already made up his mind, so if he didn't act now, wouldn't he be ridiculed by his niece?

Five minutes later, Dongfang Yuechu collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face, foaming at the mouth and fainting.

"Wow! He actually lasted 54.36 seconds! That's almost half a second longer than the original 53.98 seconds! No wonder he's the world's strongest uncle!" Yi Yi said with a "I acknowledge you as the world's strongest" expression. She poked the unconscious Dongfang Yuechu with her Green Sprout brand phone, only to find that he couldn't get up again.

Happily and happily, she and her aunt Honghong ate the lunchbox that Honghong had forgotten in her schoolbag.

"Yiyi, why did school let out so early today? Where are Qingqing and Yueyue?"

"Um... well... hehe, actually I skipped class to come here, Aunt Honghong, you have to keep it a secret for me."

"Oh, you little rascal..."

"Alright, let's stay at your aunt's house for a while. It'll be fine if your father and Rongrong run into us, but if your Ya Ya's mother does, you'll definitely get a beating."

Yi Yi giggled and jumped into Tu Shan Hong Hong's arms, rubbing against her.

Boom boom boom!

At that moment, the door to Yuechu's house was knocked open.

"Huh? Who is it?" Dongfang Yuechu got up from the ground, wiped the white foam from his mouth, and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened.

Of course, after eating Honghong's cooking for so many years at the beginning of the month, my resistance to toxins is already maxed out. I'm immune to this bit of toxicity. At most, I'll be unconscious for a minute!

Okay, that's the most I can do.

When Dongfang Yuechu opened the door and saw the person outside, his knees buckled and he almost knelt down!

With willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a flame-like mark on his fair forehead, he wore a plain white robe and exuded an air of otherworldly elegance.

"It's the beginning of the month, long time no see."

"Huh?! Brother... Brother!? Weren't you in seclusion in the back mountains?!"

Dongfang Yuechu looked at his brother, who had a kind smile on his face and was waving to him. His lips twitched violently. Oh no, his brother was obviously gathering his strength. He must have heard what he said and was about to use the "elder brother as father" technique!

"Yiyi, that little girl, she's really gone too far. Even with ten Tiger Might Army soldiers around the academy, she could still find a way to sneak out."

"Hmm, it seems I need to have a good talk with Yiyi, husband. Let's cut her allowance in half this month."

Tu Shan Rongrong, with a smile on her face, wearing a light yellow dress, a light blue bib, and emerald green hair, walked over to Dongfang Haoyang. She was extremely cute.

"Sister-in-law Rongrong...you're here too..."

"Hehe, how could I not come? This little girl took most of Qingqing's and your Yueyue's allowance for the whole month. Sister Yaya is furious and is yelling that she's going to spank her..."

Yueyue is the daughter of Honghong and Yuechu, and is two years younger than Yiyi, the daughter of Yaya, and Qingqing, the daughter of Rongrong.

"Uh...Is that so..." Dongfang Yuechu scratched his cheek, realizing things were getting a bit serious...

If it were my older brother and sister-in-law Rongrong, I might be able to plead for her. Perhaps if they softened their hearts, my niece would be alright...

But since it's someone Sister-in-law Ya Ya wants, I can't really resist. After all, Tu Shan Ya Ya was the one who used to chase after me and beat me up back in the day...

Upon hearing that her allowance would be deducted, Tu Shan Yiyi, who was still scrolling through her phone in Hong Hong's arms, couldn't sit still any longer!

A sliding tackle and an instant kneel! He landed right at the feet of his father and mother, clinging to their legs and refusing to let go!

看的一旁的东方月初直呼内行！自己tm当年好像就是这样求他大哥别揍他的，当然效果拔群……就是自己当年爱红红爱的深沉，自己的大哥和嫂子们，有些不理解，嘿嘿~

"Daddy, good daddy~ Hmm~ I'm your daughter, how can you bear to hand me over to Ya Ya's mother for a spanking~ Good daddy~"

Dongfang Haoyang rubbed his forehead, his lips twitching slightly. Well, looking at those large purple eyes that were exactly the same as Ya'er's, he really couldn't bring himself to do it...

"Rongrong's mother~ You're the best, you've always loved me the most. I know Qingqing is jealous that you give me pocket money, Rongrong's mother~ I was wrong~"

Tu Shan Rongrong sighed softly. To be honest, she doted on Yi Yi, the daughter of Ya Ya and her husband, even more than she did on Qing Qing. She didn't want to see Tu Shan Yi Yi, whom she had always treated as her own daughter, get a real beating from Ya Ya...

"You little brat, I knew you'd pull that trick!"

At this moment, a beautiful voice rang out from behind Haoyang and Rongrong. The newcomer was a tall woman, over 1.9 meters tall, with 1.3 meters of her legs being long, white, and shapely. However, under her red and white coat, only Haoyang could appreciate her at night. A wine flask hung from her waist, her eyes held a hint of coldness, and her face was unbelievably beautiful.

The birds nearby turned into small ice sculptures when they saw her!

The ice queen who suddenly appeared looked at Yiyi with unfriendly eyes, and Yiyi's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. This was her mother, Tushan Yaya, a cold and aloof queen who had no charm for her daughter.

"Mmm...Goodbye, Mother!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Tu Shan Yiyi immediately tried to run away, but Ya Ya chuckled and froze Yiyi into an ice sculpture with a single thought.

"Um, Ya'er..."

"elder sister……"

"Hmph, it seems this girl needs to be taught a lesson!" Tu Shan Ya Ya's forehead veins throbbed. She didn't even bother to listen to Hao Yang and Rong Rong's pleas for leniency. Holding the tearful Yi Yi, she smashed the ice and gave her a good slap, making Yi Yi whimper and howl as she covered her little bottom!

"Waaah, Mommy, I'll never do it again!"

"Hmph! You want a next time?!"

Half an hour later, the two people and four demons finally set up a hot pot under the Bitter Love Tree in Tushan, after all, food is the most important thing in the world.

The banquet had just begun when Qingqing and Yueyue returned.

With her emerald green hair and even her green eyes, it was the occasional bursts of golden flames from her body that caused Qingqing's adorable face to wrinkle slightly.

Haoyang rubbed Qingqing's little head.

"Father, I can never seem to control my divine fire..."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled faintly, first filling the bowls of his two wives, Rong'er and Ya'er, with delicious food. This time, he gently tapped Qingqing's forehead, and a golden flash disappeared in an instant.

"Just have your aunt's husband teach you fire control!"

"Hey? Bro, aren't you...?"

"Ahem!"

"Don't worry, Qingqing! My uncle's fire control technique is incredibly skilled! He'll protect me! After all, it was passed down to me by a master from Tushan! And a master as tall as a three- or four-story building!"

"Wow! That's amazing~" Qingqing covered her mouth, her face full of admiration.

"You talk too much, go eat some cilantro..."

"Waaah, okay, big brother..."

As Dongfang Haoyang spoke, he placed a few pieces of pork belly on Yuechu's plate.

"Hmph! See how amazing my father is! He even knows fire control! He truly deserves to be called the number one in Tushan!"

Tu Shan Yueyue, standing to the side, tilted her little fox head back, tossed her golden hair, and looked smug.

"Oh, my good daughter...you're really making your daddy look good."

Dongfang Yuechu glanced at his brother, who wore a faint smile, and silently shed tears…

"Mmm! Delicious!" Tu Shan Honghong focused on eating, while Yueyue would wipe her mother's mouth from time to time. Her actions were exactly the same as Qingqing's, who was wiping the mouths of both of her mothers!

"Hmph! Childish... I'm not eating anymore..." Yi Yi muttered, walking away with a disgruntled look on her face.

"Sigh! This child..." Haoyang smiled helplessly. It's the rebellious phase of a demon. It seems that Yiyi has grown up.

"Sorry, you stinky cockroach, and also Rongrong, Sister Honghong..."

Tu Shan Ya Ya lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat guilty. She didn't know what was wrong with Yi Yi. She was clearly the eldest daughter and had always been the smartest since childhood, yet she was so rebellious.

"It's okay, why would a family be angry? I'll buy two extra-large ice creams and be right back."

"Mmm..." Tu Shan Ya Ya leaned against Hao Yang and kissed him on the cheek, which made Qing Qing and Yue Yue close their eyes in embarrassment. Rong Rong looked at the child with some resentment, tapped the little head of the human and the demon, and then asked for a kiss as well.

"Brother, why did you come out this time? Aren't you supposed to stay out of the world to maintain stability?"

"Well, how should I put it? I've already resolved the matter of the Heavenly Dao... cough cough, we've reached an agreement, and there are no more restrictions now. But if we leave, the aura of the Heavenly Dao will attract some of those who slipped through the net to come to Tushan."

Dongfang Yuechu was shocked. "A fish that slipped through the net! You mean that major event 20 years ago..."

Twenty years ago, Dongfang Haoyang received a notification from the World Alliance that a powerful extraterrestrial demon was planning to attack the Alliance, and that their location was not far from their world.

One-third of the alliance's experts were mobilized, with the alliance leader taking the lead and Dongfang Haoyang joining as a guardian. Of course, the strongest Heavenly Demon was blasted into dust by their combined efforts. Haoyang used his righteous path to single out and kill them one by one.

However, a few remnant souls of the Heavenly Demons took advantage of the tense situation ahead and entered the Great World. Now, several of them have disappeared in their world.

Although the alliance sent experts to do their best to kill them, a small number of them are still missing.

Dongfang Haoyang sighed softly.

"Yes, that's right, and I can sense that it has appeared in our world in the last few days. I can detect its magical fluctuations."

"Oh! We have to resolve this quickly!"

"Don't worry, that thing is weak to me, and I've already secretly sent people to search for it!"

Dongfang Yuechu's lips twitched violently. He was weak in front of his brother, but the weakness his brother spoke of was not the same as the weakness others spoke of...

Suddenly, a black light shone from the back mountain of Tushan!

Everyone was shocked!

"The back mountain..."

"Oh no! Yiyi often goes to the back hill to enjoy the moon and relax!"

"My husband!"

But when Tu Shan Rongrong turned around, she only saw an empty seat.

…………

"You! What kind of monster are you...?"

Tu Shan Yiyi slumped to the ground, staring in terror at a possessed Tu Shan fox demon whose eyes gleamed with ferocity and whose body radiated black demonic power.

"This power belongs to a low-level demon at the Mahayana stage! Protect the young lady!"

Several Tiger Might soldiers used their bodies to shield Tu Shan Yiyi.

"Run! You can't stop that thing! Quick... find my aunt's husband or my mother!"

Tu Shan Yiyi quickly recovered, clutching her shoulder where she had been grazed by the sneak attack. This kind of demonic power was no joke; even in the demon realm, aside from Ya Ya's mother, her uncle, and Commander Chu, it was formidable.

"Heh...you lowly lot..."

But before the black figure could utter another word, a terrifying pressure instantly slammed it into the ground!

Dongfang Haoyang emerged from the spatial void, his eyes coldly fixed on the black creature on the ground, which was barely clinging to life.

"die……"

With a gentle flick of his finger, he unleashed a towering golden pillar of fire that instantly engulfed the surrounding hundred meters! The enormous, almost endless golden flames then transformed into a majestic ten-thousand-meter-long golden dragon, which circled for a while before shrinking back into Haoyang's hand and disappearing.

That was the first time Tu Shan Yiyi, protected by the Divine Fire Shield, had ever seen such a powerful surge of magical energy, and it was also the first time she had ever seen her father make a move.

"Master Daoist! We failed in our duty to protect Your Majesty! Please punish us!"

All the Tiger Might Army soldiers knelt down!

"Master Dao... are you really him... the one who initiated the history of peace between humans and demons?!"

Yi Yi stood there, stunned. The respect in Hu Weijun's eyes was genuine. She looked at her father, who usually only liked to grow flowers and plants and was "weak" in strength, with disbelief.

"Um... well, anyway, I didn't mean to hide it from you... Rongrong said that being too violent is not good for your growth, after all, it seems like no one likes a father who is like a delinquent."

"Dad..."

Tu Shan Yiyi walked to Dongfang Haoyang's side with her head down and gently punched his chest with her little pink fist.

"Um... never mind, how about two Big Mac ice creams? Don't worry, I'm not actually that rabid..."

"Wow! That's so cool!!!"

"Why?!!"

"Yes, is that so..." Dongfang Haoyang's face turned a little red. He scratched his cheek and glanced away from his daughter's adoring gaze.

"I never expected it! My father really is that great hero! Hahaha! I don't have to go to school anymore!"

"Hmm...that's the only point I disagree with..."
