This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 222 - 217: Loving Father, Filial Son!

Chapter 222: Chapter 217: Loving Father, Filial Son!

"I’m tired, meow, just hurry up and destroy this world."

The little orange cat, with a look of utter despair, sprawled out on top of Liang Yi’s head with all four limbs stretched.

At the crucial moment of his emergence, his every word and action represented the Heavenly Dao Laws.

Once called the little orange cat, whether in the past, present, or future, his name could only be the little orange cat.

"Nonsense, meow, what mess are you creating for your lord here?!" The little orange cat, infuriated, crazily smacked at Liang Yi’s forehead with his paw.

To think that he, a mighty male cat, would be named Little Orange!!

How is this different from a fearsome man being named "Sweet Flower"?

It’s shameful, embarrassingly shameful!

Imagine, when he reigns supreme over the world, sitting at the pinnacle of this world’s power controlling the Heavenly Dao, and his subordinates ask how to praise him,

the answer would be: "Little Orange Cat!"

At the thought, he wanted to scratch to death the mount beneath him!

But judging with the authority closest to the Heavenly Dao at the moment of his birth, this mount could be considered the peak of this world’s beauty; aside from him, no one else was worthy to be his mount.

Liang Yi felt somewhat embarrassed; he had just said it off the cuff.

He was indeed not good at naming; in his previous life, his cat was simply called Little White, and his dog, Big White.

The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, who had been silently watching the situation unfold, seemed to understand what the little orange cat had lost.

Although he lost the opportunity to control the Heavenly Dao, he also retained his humanity because of it.

Whether the loss outweighs the gain, or the gain outweighs the loss, it’s really hard to say.

But he actually thought that this wasn’t such a bad thing.

No matter where Liang Yi obtained that almost unattainable Innate Spiritual Light of the Heavenly Dao, he saved his only descendant and kinsman, and for that, the Grand Saint felt gratitude.

"Ding! Congratulations on completing the task [Child of the Primordial Saint]!"

"Congratulations on receiving the task reward: Experience 200W, Green Embroidery Cloud Stone, +100 goodwill from Elder Qing, +500 goodwill from Grand Saint of Nine Spirits"

"Phew, finally finished."

Ignoring the little creature creating chaos on his head, Liang Yi, seeing its small size, couldn’t be bothered to argue.

"You’ve given me quite a bit of help this time, kid. I’ll give you this Green Embroidery Cloud Stone; it’s of no use to me anyway." The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, resting on a stone bed, flung over a greenish-gold stone from afar.

Liang Yi caught it, looking down at the Green Embroidery Cloud Stone. Its texture seemed like gold but wasn’t, shining with a faint luster unlike any other stone.

[Green Embroidery Cloud Stone]: Second Grade, Golden Quality. It’s a prime stone created from the concentration of the world at the moment of a Secret Realm’s collapse and destruction. Its occurrence requires extremely harsh conditions, a rarity not seen in ten thousand years.

After confirming it was genuine, Liang Yi happily stowed it in his backpack, then pointed to the little orange cat on his head and asked the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits.

"Senior Primordial Saint, what about this little thing?"

"This lord may be related by blood to him, but he’s not my father," said the little orange cat, adopting the posture of the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, lying diagonally on Liang Yi’s hair, legs crossed, while fiddling with a strand of Liang Yi’s hair.

"Hmm, strictly speaking, he’s more like having occupied the body of my descendant, but my descendant was not born with Innate Spiritual Light; it was just an empty shell. It was only after borrowing that thing of yours that a real birth took place. Consciousness is not important; as long as the bloodline is mine, it’s fine," the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits nodded, not denying this unfilial creature’s words.

He really didn’t mind this point because, without that Innate Spiritual Light of the Heavenly Dao from Liang Yi, there would only be an empty shell left with him. But now, utilizing the body of his descendant for reincarnation was the Spiritual Light of the Heavenly Dao—he could indeed be called the father of the Heavenly Dao, and he wasn’t wrong at all about that.

After a lifetime of cultivating as an immortal, the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits never thought he’d become the father of the Heavenly Dao.

Hmph, could Chen Hua do that?

"Really, it’s a scene of fatherly love and filial piety," Liang Yi commented to himself sarcastically.

"But that being said, what should we do with this little guy?"

"Just let him follow you. I’m certainly not going to take care of a child," the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits said lazily, flicking his tail and unceremoniously dumping the responsibility onto Liang Yi.

"Are you not the mount decreed for this lord? You think you can just abandon this lord?" The little orange cat discontentedly tugged at Liang Yi’s hair.

Both cats claimed to be ’his majesty’ and ’this lord’ – if they weren’t family, Liang Yi would have slapped himself twice.

And a mount? So now the cat overlord can speak, and even after crossing worlds, he can’t escape the fate of a litter scooper?

"Fine..." Liang Yi reluctantly accepted the burden.

"Now that we’ve taken care of the matters concerning the Primordial Saint, could you tell me about Qingqiu?"

With a raise of his hand, the little fox who was still asleep outside the stone wall, Yue Bai, was drawn over and cuddled by Liang Yi.

"Mmm...it’s so comfortable sleeping." Yue Bai, feeling the movements, woke up drowsily in Liang Yi’s arms, rubbed his eyes, and looked bewildered with sleepy eyes.

"Master!?"

After realizing the situation she was in, Yue Bai’s white fox ears began to redden again.

Liang Yi, seeing that the little fox had awakened, gently put her down, signaling her to listen quietly.

"Qingqiu, huh? As far as I can recall, I’ve only encountered two with Qingqiu bloodline," reflected the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits.

"Hundreds of years ago, I encountered an adult one, and the other is this little fox beside you. If I’m not mistaken, that adult one should be her mother."

Yue Bai was initially astonished to see such a cute creature before her, but observing her master’s expression, she realized that this person in front of her seemed to hold a high status here.

"Could this be the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits?" The little fox guessed in her mind.

"In the First and Second Epochs, Qingqiu was immensely prosperous and powerful, ranking within the top five of the Demon Clan. However, as the epochs came to an end one after another, many famous demon clans have perished, like the Phoenix Clan, the Nine-Colored Deer Clan, the Bi Fang Clan, or the Bai Ze Clan."

The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits felt a sense of loss, as each of these vanished races had been incredibly powerful, yet now all had vanished into the river of history.

"The bloodline of this little fox beside you doesn’t seem very pure, more like a half-demon, but it seems not to be a problem with the bloodline itself. Rather, the female fox deliberately disguised it to conceal her lineage, and I wouldn’t have discovered it if the little fox hadn’t had a recent awakening of her bloodline."

The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits played with a Valerian ball in his hands, looking enviously at the little orange cat who was clutching Liang Yi’s hair tightly, preventing himself from dashing out.

He was almost a cat who could have governed the Heavenly Dao; how could he be obsessed with such a thing?

"Bloodline awakening?" Yue Bai paused for a moment, then remembered the comfortable sensation she felt when absorbing the Moonlight at the Cold Moon Temple’s Sword Pool. Was that the time?

"I just used a top-secret technique exclusive to the Demon Clan to put you to sleep, which helps stimulate the bloodline. You should have some memories surfacing in your mind now, right?" said the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits.

Unlike the Human Race, who needed to store and pass on knowledge, their race had knowledge and power directly embedded in their bloodline. Once the bloodline awakens, corresponding memories would emerge.

"Really...?" Yue Bai started to recall and was surprised to find additional information appearing in her mind.

There were Cultivation Techniques, Daoist Skills, methods to purify her bloodline, and even...

"Mother..." Yue Bai, upon seeing the face in her memories, unconsciously shed tears.

The memory showed a sweet-looking fox woman standing under the shade of a tree, playfully teasing the little fox in her cradle, who was laughing innocently.

Having had no previous memories, but upon seeing that doting smile directed at her, the bloodline-induced palpitation made her tears unstoppable.

Now, she finally understood what her master meant when he said he would help her find her family and discover her origins; it was the feeling of having roots, of no longer being a wandering duckweed.

Seeing Yue Bai in this state, Liang Yi gently patted her head.

Even the little orange cat on his head climbed down Liang Yi’s arm and tenderly patted Yue Bai’s cheek, saying, "Don’t be sad. Forget about not having a mother; this lord doesn’t even have a father."

The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits stiffened momentarily.
