Chapter 255: Chapter 135: Xiao Wu Visits, Filial Piety 2

Later on, her son stole her coffin money and fled the village.

Granny Wu Zhu cried numerous times over this, uncertain whether it was the money or her son that pained her more.

Chen Shi didn’t know how to handle the situation, so he was eager to drive Chen Tang away.

"Fine."

Creation Little Five headed towards the house, saying, "Let’s have a quick meal first."

He thought to himself, "Have a meal with humans first, then send Little Ten on his way! Dad, I can’t burn Wu Zhu, but I’m offering your grandson to you as a sign of filial piety."

Chen Shi walked into the yard, where Black Pot had already tidied up the tables and chairs, and the dishes and utensils were neatly arranged.

"Black Pot, Chen Tang is here, add a set of utensils," Chen Shi said.

Black Pot hurried to fetch the chopsticks and served a bowl of rice.

Creation Little Five frowned, watching Black Pot bustling around; this dog made him realize that there was an Evil Spirit in the house.

Black Pot placed the bowl down and looked up to meet his gaze, taken aback.

This "Chen Tang" was completely unaffected by it!

To think, even Granny Sha and Hu Xiaoliang were affected by it, influencing their thinking. Could "Chen Tang" be even stronger than Granny Sha and others?

"Sit down," Chen Shi said as he passed between them.

Creation Little Five withdrew his gaze and sat down at the table.

Chen Shi sat opposite him,

Li Tianqing sat on the left, while Black Pot, having removed his apron, sat on the right.

Creation Little Five picked up his chopsticks, and seeing Black Pot do the same, his gaze swept over again and he said, darkly, "Get down, dog! Who allowed you on the table?"

Black Pot was startled again, realizing he had encountered a tough opponent he couldn’t disturb, and was about to slink away when suddenly, Chen Shi slammed the table loudly and commanded, "I allowed it! Black Pot, don’t go down!"

Creation Little Five met Chen Shi’s gaze; the two glared at each other, their eyes locked over the dishes.

Li Tianqing hurriedly set down his chopsticks, not daring to move.

After a moment, Creation Little Five chuckled softly and said, "Stubborn, just like me. No wonder his name is Little Ten. Dog, if your young master allows you on the table, then stay. Don’t think about affecting me, you can’t."

He silently thought to himself, "After finishing this reunion dinner, I’ll send them on their way to reunite with Granddad in the underworld!"

Black Pot felt the pressure, trembling with fear, and Li Tianqing could also sense a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

"Chen Shi and Chen Tang, father and son, seem to be somewhat at odds," he thought to himself.

Chen Shi silently ate two spoonfuls of rice and looked at the dishes on his plate without glancing at "Chen Tang" and said, "Why didn’t you come when Grandpa passed away?"

His voice carried anger and his tone was accusatory.

Creation Little Five remembered Yindu, feeling a wave of sadness, and said gloomily, "I was imprisoned and couldn’t get out."

Chen Shi was stunned, looked at him briefly, then averted his gaze and asked, "You were in trouble?"

"Mhm," Creation Little Five said, realizing Chen Shi’s concern and acknowledging that he indeed had been in trouble.

"Were you arrested?" Chen Shi asked.

"Hmm," Creation Little Five thought for a moment then answered.

Chen Shi’s eyes reddened as he asked, "So you couldn’t come back to see me and Granddad during the New Year because of that?"

Creation Little Five sighed and nodded gently, "I was locked up for many years, couldn’t get out."

A bit of the ice in Chen Shi’s heart melted, and he picked up a piece of fried duck egg and placed it in his bowl, saying, "Eat some dishes."

Creation Little Five looked at the dish in his bowl, his expression unfriendly, and snorted coldly, "You’re serving me food? Why are you serving me food? Who asked you to serve me?"

Chen Shi’s eyebrows shot up, also getting angry, and slammed his chopsticks down on the table: "Kindness taken for granted! Eat it or not!"

Creation Little Five stared at the dish in his bowl, recalling how when he had just "come into being," everything was confusing, and Yindu would serve him food. A strange, inexplicable agitation surged inexplicably within him, unsettling his emotions.

"I’ll eat."

He picked up the dish Chen Shi had served him and tasted it. The flavor was mediocre, manageable to swallow.

"Just not as tasty as Heaven Listeners."

He thought, "Had I known this dog could cook, I’d have caught Heaven Listeners, chopped off his ears, and had the dog prepare a table full of dishes."

At the table, three people and a dog silently ate their meal. Black Pot and Li Tianqing quickly filled up and left the table, keeping their distance.

"Will they start fighting?" Li Tianqing quietly asked Black Pot.

Black Pot shook its head, unsure itself.

But Chen Tang was truly formidable, even its Skill unable to infiltrate his consciousness!

"Is Chen Tang really that powerful?" it wondered silently.

It was a creature Chen Yindou had picked up from the underworld when it was only three years old and had never met Chen Tang.

Creation Little Five had intended to finish the meal quickly and then take Chen Shi to meet Chen Yindou in order to perform his filial duties and uphold his reputation as a devoted son, so he ate swiftly.

He had just finished a bowl of rice, licked his lips, his eyes gleaming fiercely, contemplating how to kill Chen Shi as an act of filial piety when Chen Shi across from him set down his chopsticks, picked up his bowl, and turned to serve him more rice.

"Eat another bowl," Chen Shi said softly as he placed the full bowl in front of him.

Creation Little Five met his gaze, momentarily stunned.

That look, it was like the one he used to give his father Chen Yindou, filled with hope and the desire for his father’s affection.

A wave of sadness washed over Creation Little Five, and he quietly picked up his chopsticks to continue eating.

I used to look at old dad with that same gaze.

Chen Shi was just a child longing for paternal love, just like I was once.

Let him live a little longer.

He suddenly stopped eating, thought for a moment, took a piece of meat, and placed it in Chen Shi’s bowl, saying, "Eat this."

"Okay," Chen Shi responded. ƒrēeNovelFire.com

Creation Little Five watched him eat, seeing himself in Chen Shi.

After dinner, when the table was cleared of dishes, Chen Shi began to clean up.

Creation Little Five hesitated momentarily, not immediately going through with his deadly intentions, but instead looked around the yard and asked, "Little Ten, have you always lived here since your grandfather passed? Have you ever thought about moving out?"

"This is home. Why would I move out?" Chen Shi answered while washing dishes.

"Is it really home?"

Creation Little Five was silent for a long time.

"When have I ever been so indecisive?" he thought to himself. "I’m not human, I’m a creation, a Demon God made by my father. I don’t need human emotions; I am my father in his perfect state!"

Chen Yindou had always been naively curious about the world, filled with a robust energy to explore all of its mysteries and to unveil the truths behind them as he created more and more wondrous Spells. However, Chen Yindou rarely cared about those around him.

However, things changed when Chen Shi was born. Suddenly, he began to experience many new emotions and started coming home more often.

Creation Little Five was different.

Long ago, Chen Yindou realized that as a human, he was always troubled by various emotions and could not achieve the state of perfect harmony with nature. Thus, when his talisman Skill reached its peak, he even managed to create a semi-Demon God creature, Fu Shen Tianji, and decided to create a perfect version of himself.

He experimented five times, and on the fifth attempt, he succeeded in creating Creation Little Five, named Chen Wu.

Creation Little Five, as his assistant, helped him with various experiments and explorations.

Whenever Chen Yindou was troubled by human emotions and unable to make decisions, Little Five could always offer the perfect advice.

Thus, Creation Little Five was quite repelled by human emotions.

"I can’t wait any longer. I need to kill Chen Shi immediately and send him to the underworld to be with father!"

Creation Little Five stood up and walked towards Chen Shi.

Chen Shi had already finished cleaning the pots and was tidying up the bedding.

"Stop cleaning!" Creation Little Five said harshly.

Chen Shi flinched, looked up at him, and asked, "Are you leaving today? Won’t you stay a couple more days?"

Creation Little Five met his gaze, filled with a hopeful expression akin to a child pleading with his father not to leave.

"I..."

Confused, Creation Little Five blurted out, "I’ll stay two more days."

—The funeral is over, today I return to Su and updates will resume normally.
