The Old Father Who Caught Them in the Act of Puppy Love

"Hey, is it my fault for being too soft-hearted?"

Lin Dong sighed helplessly, clenching the smooth little hand in his palm as he continued walking into the depths of darkness, his figure tall and imposing.

"Tch, soft-hearted bastard..."

A beautiful smile subtly curved the corners of the girl's lips as she followed him with light, quick steps.

"Da da da! Da da da!"

The extremely crisp sound of footsteps echoed unhurriedly throughout the hall, gradually receding into the distance, lasting for one hour, two hours, three hours...

"Hehe, the strength of this new Devouring Ancestral Symbol Master seems to be a bit unexpectedly strong. Even my own Devouring Great Realm couldn't do anything to you."

As the chuckle faded, the darkness that had troubled Lin Dong and his companion for so long vanished in an instant, and light returned.

The scene inside the main hall finally came into view: a tall figure dressed in a black robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, was sitting cross-legged inside the hall, looking at them with a smile.

"Devouring Master, I am Lin Dong, the current controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol."

Lin Dong stepped forward to greet him without any hesitation.

"Tsk, look at this, look what I've just seen? My successor has actually come together with my bloodline descendant?"

The Devouring Master's gaze moved downwards, settling on Lin Dong and Kun Ling'er's still intertwined fingers, a look of heartache on his face.

"Ancestor, things are not as you think."

Like a startled fawn, Kun Ling'er immediately distanced herself from Lin Dong, blushing as she leaped to the side, looking down at her toes.

"I don't care, Lin Dong, right? You're incredibly greedy! Not only did you obtain my Devouring Ancestral Symbol, but now you want to take my inheritance and steal my precious great-great-granddaughter! This is intolerable!"

Having witnessed the puppy love scene firsthand, the Devouring Master Lord father was so angry that he slapped his thigh, pointed at the tall, silver-haired beauty, and roared, "I'll punish you by making you marry her!"

Kun Ling'er: "..."

Facing the angry pointing of Great Master at the Peak Three-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation, Lin Dong calmly said, "Devouring Master Lord, shouldn't we talk about serious matters?"

"Hehe, of course you can sit down, you two."

The Devouring Master immediately dropped his "angry old father" act, raised his hand, and two prayer mats appeared on the ground.

For some reason, seeing Lin Dong gloss over the matter so casually, Kun Ling'er felt a fleeting sense of disappointment.

"Last time when we were in the consciousness space of the Six-Fingered Monster Dragon, I was prepared to step in and beat the Six-Fingered Monster Dragon for you and take his Primeval Desolation Dragon Bone. But who knew that Junior Sister would actually make a move from a distance? So I decided to continue to hide."

The Devouring Master smiled as he looked at Lin Dong, who had settled down, and winked, saying, "Not bad, you even managed to take down that iceberg, Junior Sister. Let me tell you, I was one of those people back in the day..."

"Senior, I regret to inform you of something. Huanhuan left an Ice Symbol Seal in my body. If she wants to, she can hear everything you just said," Lin Dong said Youyou.

"Ahem, oh dear, is Junior Sister's name in this life Huanhuan? Huanhuan a great name, simple and elegant, I especially like it."

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Master's expression changed, and he immediately suppressed his frivolousness, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

Devouring Master, what exactly did you go through back then? Your masterful control of your facial expressions is heartbreaking!!

Lin Dong's eye twitched slightly, deciding it was best not to reopen old wounds.

Kun Ling'er lowered her head with great difficulty, but her constantly trembling shoulders betrayed her. The majestic image of her ancestor in her heart had completely collapsed!

"Call out!"

Just then, an ancient rune with silver patterns ignored the obstruction of the Devouring Divine Palace, suddenly shattered the void and entered Lin Dong's body like a swimming fish.

"Hmm? Space Ancestral Symbol? Is it Space Junior Brother?"

The Devouring Master raised an eyebrow, looked up at a certain spot in the void, and seemed to vaguely see something. He chuckled softly and said, "Tsk, he's already here but hasn't come to see me. This junior brother is getting more and more impolite."

"The emergence of the senior's legacy attracted the people of the Demon Prison. The Ten King Palace and two other Demon King attacked, but they have all been killed by the Master of Space. He has now returned to his clan for seclusion."

After receiving the information left by the Master of Space, Lin Dong said.

"The Ten King Palace? I remember that guy didn't even pass the Second Reincarnation Tribulation, right? He was quite good at commanding the Demon Army. It's good that he's dead."

The Devouring Master nodded slightly, as if he were discussing with Lin Dong how to crush an ant, rather than the infamous Ten King Palace.

"The Ice Master, the Master of Flames, the Master of Primeval Desolation, the Master of Darkness, the Master of Space, and if you include me, you've already met six of us eight. Only the Life and Death Senior Sister and that guy, the Master of Thunder, remain unmet."

"Actually, I have also met the Master of Life and Death."

Lin Dong to himself, "She's still a cute little girl, I even pinched her cheeks."

"Your luck is so strange, no wonder so many Ancestral Symbol and Ancient Divine Object have chosen to recognize you as their master. Yan, you three agree, right?"

The Devouring Master looked Lin Dong up and down, then changed the subject.

"Great Desolation Stele, I told you you couldn't hide it from the Devouring Eyes, didn't I?"

"How was I supposed to know that devouring even a wisp of this guy's remnant spirit would be so terrifying?"

"Hey, is it really okay for you two to talk about devouring like that to your faces?"

Three beams of light and shadow clamored as they emerged from Lin Dong's body.

"The Rock, the Great Desolation Stele, and the Profound Heaven Hall —it's been a long time."

The Devouring Master's hands rested naturally on his knees, his expression gentle and An Ran, seemingly delighted to see his three old friends.

"Devouring, both the Great Desolation Stele and I have met the Ice Master. The Ice Master has successfully Reincarnation and awakened perfectly, so you don't need to worry."

A voice emanated from within the blurred light and shadow formed by the petrification.

"Hehe, as expected, can the power of love conquer all? I feel much more at ease now that I have your personal confirmation."

The Devouring Master's gentle face softened further as he turned to look at Kun Ling'er, who had been sitting quietly without saying a word: "Little girl, what's your name?"

"Ancestor, I am Kun Ling'er."

The silver-haired girl raised her head and immediately gave her name.

"Kun Ling'er? What a nice name. It's very similar to Qing'er's name, differing by only one character. By the way, how are your ancestors, Qing'er's ancestors, doing?"

The Devouring Master nodded slightly, then asked again, his voice tinged with trepidation and a hint of anticipation.

"Reporting to our ancestor, according to the clan's Grand Elder, after your passing, our ancestor Kun Qing'er disappeared without a trace. For ten thousand years, no matter how the clan has tried to use secret methods to call upon our ancestor Kun Qing'er, we have been unable to receive any response."

"Therefore, the clan believes that our ancestor Kun Qing'er probably... probably died for love with you, our ancestor."

Kun Ling'er bit her red lips with her silver teeth and responded with considerable difficulty.
