Who knew how much time had passed.
Long Haochen was still lying on the bed.
But Bai Yue was now sitting on Long Xingyu's lap, petite and delicate as she nestled against his chest, just like she had ten years ago.
Long Xingyu held Bai Yue in his arms, resting his head against her back. His gaze was gentle, gleaming with waves of joy.
He told her everything that had happened over the past ten years.
Bai Yue simply listened, paying close attention as Long Xingyu recounted it all. Whenever she heard about the life-and-death battles between Long Xingyu and Ananda, her delicate body trembled slightly with worry.
He had spent quite a bit of effort during this time before finally persuading Bai Yue.
Only then did he lean against her shoulder and softly say, "Next, let's return to Dragon Control Pass together."
"Bring Haochen with us. Our family can live together."
Long Xingyu spoke softly.
Hearing this, Bai Yue nodded without hesitation.
How could she not have wanted to return to Dragon Control Pass to find Long Xingyu?
It was only because of her identity that she had not wanted to hold Long Xingyu back.
As the daughter of the Demon God Emperor, being with a Divine Seal Knight and the Vice Alliance Leader of the Temple Alliance was simply...
However, after hearing Long Xingyu's explanation, Bai Yue realized that she had been wrong—terribly wrong. She had only considered how Long Xingyu would be judged, without considering his feelings.
So she immediately nodded in agreement. "Mm, we'll go back together."
"We'll leave in a couple of days. I still have a few things to take care of here," Long Xingyu said.
"Alright!" Bai Yue nodded.
As the two spoke of all the things left unsaid over the past ten years, Long Haochen, lying on the bed nearby, clutched his stomach and said, "I'm so hungry."
He immediately tried to sit up.
"Why am I at home?" Long Haochen wondered. Then he suddenly looked up, his eyes widening in shock. He saw the most startling sight he had ever witnessed in his life.
He saw his mother, Bai Yue, sitting on a man's lap. The two looked incredibly sweet together, like lovers reunited after a long separation.
Long Haochen was utterly dumbfounded by the sight.
His body trembled slightly, and he had no idea what he should say.
A faint flame seemed to spread through his heart. He hurriedly stood up, looked toward Long Xingyu and Bai Yue, and asked, "You... Mom, what are you...?"
When Bai Yue saw Long Haochen awake, she jumped in fright. Yet she did not feel the slightest guilty conscience. Instead, her eyes lit up as she stood and walked toward Long Haochen.
Long Xingyu did not stop her.
He had no desire to turn this into some melodramatic father-son confrontation.
Bai Yue said directly, "Haochen, this is your father. Your father has come back."
"?" The anger filling Long Haochen's heart was completely flattened in that instant. He stared blankly at Long Xingyu before him.
This was his father?
His father had come back?
Long Haochen was stunned. He had never expected that he actually had a father, much less that he would suddenly appear on this very day.
After countless explanations from Bai Yue and Long Xingyu, and drawn by the bond of blood, Long Haochen accepted this father of his.
The peaceful days lasted until the next day.
Long Xingyu also began teaching Long Haochen.
However, Long Xingyu did not prepare much. He simply began training him on a hill beside the little thatched hut.
In the mornings, Long Xingyu taught him the history of the Temple Alliance, the characteristics of humanity's six major vocational systems, their advancement systems, and everything regarding how they would coordinate in the future.
He also taught him about the struggle between humanity and the demon race, thoroughly instilling in Long Haochen a hatred for demons.
No matter what, pure-blooded demons would always be humanity's enemies. There was no doubt about that.
Soon, it was noon.
After finishing a reunion meal with the whole family together, they returned to that hill and continued cultivating.
"Father, please begin training me!" Long Haochen held a small iron sword tightly in both hands. He intended to accept Long Xingyu's training and would not slack off just because this man was his father.
The past ten years of striving to improve himself and training diligently had long since become a habit of life.
Long Xingyu said nothing.
He merely imparted a great deal of combat experience to Long Haochen.
Then he brought him to the Scorpion Ant Cave.
There, he had Long Haochen begin fighting.
These unranked Magical Beasts were just right for the current Long Haochen. They posed some danger, but not too much.
Long Haochen's comprehension was also extremely strong. Under Long Xingyu's instruction, even though this was only his first time entering the Scorpion Ant Cave...
It was also enough for him to temper himself.
Long Xingyu had also been keeping watch the entire time, ready to bring Long Haochen out safely at any moment.
"Haochen's talent and comprehension truly are extraordinary."
"As expected of a Son of Light who appears only once in ten thousand years. According to what the Sun Moon Divine Snail said before, he is the one who will end this Age of Darkness."
Long Xingyu assessed him.
At the same time, he made up his mind.
First, he would stabilize Long Haochen's previously weak foundation here in Odin Town, then bring him back to Dragon Control Pass.
This time, Long Xingyu did not intend to let Long Haochen remain in small, resource-poor places like Odin Town or Haoyue City.
Even though the Dragon Family had its ancestral edict?
But?
Long Haochen was the Son of Light. There were also regulations stating that God's Chosen would receive preferential resources as candidates to be groomed into the next Temple Head. It was merely that no God's Chosen had ever appeared.
And now that Long Haochen was one, he was qualified!
It had nothing to do with his surname.
The Dragon Family Ancestral Edict could not override the ancestral edict of the Knight Temple.
After considering all this, Long Xingyu looked toward Long Haochen again and continued training him.
These days.
Lasted for a total of seven days.
The time in the Scorpion Ant Cave did not last very long. Under the nourishment of Long Xingyu's countless heavenly treasures and spiritual fluids, Long Haochen's physique and foundation became exceptionally solid.
Before long, he cleared the Scorpion Ant Cave completely.
After Long Haochen cleared it, Long Xingyu changed his training method to sparring with himself.
Through their sparring, he found countless flaws in Long Haochen and corrected them one by one.
That evening, father and son ended their cultivation.
They each rested.
After sitting down, Long Haochen would occasionally sneak glances at Long Xingyu, curiosity written across his face.
No one knew what he was thinking.
"Haochen, why do you keep sneaking looks at me?" Long Xingyu asked, turning toward him.
After a moment of silence, Long Haochen asked in confusion, "Dad, I want to ask—what level of professional are you?"
