“What’s the matter? He’s the spirit seed?” Lonemoon looked in confusion at the muscular man. How could this be? There was demonic Qi all around his body, and not even a bit of the essential Qi. What’s more, if this was what the spirit seed looked like after manifestation, it had a bit too much nutrition in its body, didn’t it?

Chef jumped backward and raised his hands to undo the sorcery around the muscular man. He released his divine perception to scan him and found that the demonic Qi was floating around his body. HIs expression darkened as he said, “This demonic Qi doesn’t seem to be his.”

With that, he conjured another seal and tapped the muscular man in the middle of his forehead so that all the demonic Qi around his body disappeared at once. He looked like a ruptured balloon. Immediately, he became thin. Even his muscles began to disappear. The spirit seed looked like it was going backward in time – from a grown and muscular man, he slowly turned into a little boy who did not even reach Lonemoon’s waist. Immediately, his body emitted strong essential Qi that was several times thicker than that around the teenager.

He really was the spirit seed!

“Boss! What happened to you?” The garlic jumped and exclaimed. He turned back to Chef and waved his leaves frantically. “What did you do to Boss?”

“I just helped it to recover its true appearance.” It was bloated with demonic Qi earlier.

The spirit seed, that was now a child, looked at his own small body several times before finally looking up at Lonemoon. Suddenly, he scrunched up his nose and began to cry.

“Wah…. His wails were heart-wrenching – he sounded like he had been put through a lot of injustice.

Lonemoon pursed his lips. He had not recovered from the shock of seeing the muscular man shrink down to this little boy. Suddenly, he felt guilty. “Why are you crying?”

“Boss, don’t cry! Don’t cry…” The garlic demon was beginning to panic as well. It waved its leaves to comfort him. “Don’t worry! If they bully you, I will… I will spice them to death! With that, the garlic bore with the pain of plucking off one garlic root from its own body and then threw it toward the group of three.

“Don’t spice them!” The spirit seed suddenly snapped out of his crying, opened his arms and defended the group of three.

“Boss…” The garlic demon stared blankly at him.

The spirit seed turned around and hugged Lonemoon, who was standing behind him. In an indignant voice, he called out, “Father!”

Huh?

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

What the hell?!

w(゚Д゚)w

“Stinky brat, don’t call just anyone that!” Lonemoon pursed his lips and tried to push the child away, but the child tightened his grip around Lonemoon’s thigh.

As he hugged Lonemoon’s thigh, he began to cry once again. Sniffling, he wailed, “Wah… Father, Father, don’t you want me anymore?”

“Who doesn’t want… Who are you calling Father?”

“Father…”

“Shut up! Stop calling me that! Wait…” He turned around and glared at the master and disciple duo next to him. “Why are the two of you looking at me like I’m someone who walked out on his own family? Wouldn’t the both of you know better if I had any children?”

The master and disciple exchanged a meaningful look, then turned back to Lonemoon. In a voice that said they did not want to stir any trouble, they said, “We don’t!”

“My ass!” Lonemoon’s rage was rising up his chest and threatening to overwhelm him. His dharmic robes were becoming increasingly drenched from the little boy’s tears. No matter how hard he tried to peel the boy off of him, the boy would not budge. Instead, he kept trying to climb up Lonemoon’s body, determined to cling on to him. “What are you looking at? Hurry up and help me! If you want this month’s allowance, you’d better help me peel him off!”

The two of them stepped forward and peeled the spirit seed off Lonemoon’s body. As if suddenly thinking about something, Shen Ying asked, “Well… Father Niu, may I ask you who’s the mother of this child?”

“Shut-”

Before he could finish speaking, the little boy turned and buried his face in Shen Ying’s arms. He began to wail again.

“Mom!”

Lonemoon: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

The next moment, Chef’s expression turned extremely dark. With a swoosh, he drew his sword and emphasized each word as he said,”Master, I don’t think this person is the spirit seed. Let’s slaughter him!”

Who was he calling Mom?!

“…”

—————

Lonemoon guessed that the spirit seed referred to himself and Shen Ying as his father and mother because he could tell that they were managers. He was this plane’s spirit seed. He was meant to be able to sense their managers’ aura. What’s more, he had just manifested, so he was not yet mature. With the added unreliability of that big garlic demon, it was natural that he thought he was to address the plane’s managers as the people closest to him.

The only person whom the spirit seed addressed unnaturally was Chef…

“Second Younger Brother!”

“…” What the hell was Second Younger Brother?

“Master, are we really not allowed to kill him?” Chef asked with a serious expression. “Why not I cut off both of his legs? He’ll grow them again soon, anyway!” He would grow them every month!

Shen Ying: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

“Enough, enough, enough. Stop bullying the little child.” It was rare to see Chef with the short end of the stick. Lonemoon quickly stepped forward to pull the child back before scanning him from head to toe. This was one fat and healthy child – how could he bear for him to grow up handicapped? “Talk, Little Spirit Seed. What happened? What’s the matter with this guy?”

Lonemoon pointed at the teenager who still had essential Qi surrounding his body. Earlier, he had only sensed the essential Qi. On closer inspection, it was clear that this teenager was the real demon. Lonemoon raised his hand to conjure a seal, causing the teenager to take on its true form – a fiery red demon covered in scales. Although it was a high-level demon, it looked injured. Its true form was several times smaller than an average-sized human.

“He’s a baddie! He wanted to eat me!” The spirit seed’s little face suddenly became filled with rage as he spat, “When I was sleeping, he tried to eat me! That’s why I wanted to eat him!”

Eat?

Lonemoon hesitated and recalled the scene they stumbled upon earlier. Did he mean the demonic Qi? It was no wonder that he had so much demonic Qi in his body. He had obtained all of that by sucking demonic Qi from the demons. On the other hand, the essential Qi around the demons’ bodies was obviously from the spirit seed

So the demons had consumed the essential spirit Qi in the spirit seed’s body, so the spirit seed consumed their demonic Qi? Wasn’t he putting himself at a major disadvantage then? It was no wonder that the demon they caught now looked so frightened of them. It had very little demonic Qi left in its own body.

“Who taught you to protect yourself so that you don’t get cheated?” Lonemoon instinctively asked.

The moment he asked the question, the master and disciple both turned to look at him.

“What are you looking at!” He glared at them. “Poke your nose out of my affairs!” Did they really think he was the child’s father?

Yi Qing: “…” Heh heh heh, as long as you’re happy…

Shen Ying tilted her head and studied the little child, as if deep in thought.

Unless…

——————

Now that they found the spirit seed, Shen Ying and the rest had no reason to stay any longer. Early the next morning, they decided to set off. Lonemoon forced the essential Qi out of the demon and returned it to the spirit seed, before throwing the demon back into the volcano. It was not easy to deal with the garlic demon, however. No matter what, it refused to let the spirit seed go. It was like it could not let the spirit seed be stolen out of its sight once again. The more it panicked, the more the garlic plant would throw garlic at the group of three.

Since it was the first complete living spirit that the spirit seed produced, the group decided that it would not be good to leave the garlic plant behind. Therefore, Lonemoon produced a flower pot and placed the garlic demon inside. He allowed the spirit seed to carry the garlic back with them. After all, once they got back, Mi Le would be there to take care of it.

Once it was time, Shen Ying opened the plane gates. In a blink of an eye, they found themselves back in the divine realm.
