The Eternal Night Demon Emperor Is My Father
"What! Brother, your father is actually so powerful that he forced you to do this?!" the group exclaimed in unison.
They're all children, so they tend to be easily startled.
Lu Zhengran watched this scene, he vaguely sensed the same feeling he had for his father and uncle.
Seeing my child behave like this, I finally understand what it feels like.
Is this what it feels like to be an adult?
Of course, he didn't lie too much; he had gotten wet in the rain himself and simply tore off the umbrella.
"Alright, let me tell you..." Lu Zhengran was about to reveal that his father was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor when the chubby boy next to him, his face beaming with a pig-like grin, interrupted him.
The chubby boy pointed to another portrait he was holding and quickly asked, "Big brother! That! That portrait of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor is here too?! Is this scroll it?!"
Lu Zhengran nodded and handed the portrait to the chubby underling.
"Look, there's a signature inside too."
The chubby young man took the scroll and unfurled it immediately.
It remains an exceptionally lifelike portrait.
It also contains the signature of the four characters "Eternal Night Demon Emperor"!
Wow!!! The Eternal Night Demon Emperor is so handsome!!!
"This has an autograph too!!!"
"This must be true too!!!"
"So this is what the Eternal Night Demon Emperor looks like! He's exactly as I imagined!!!"
Several boys started screaming too.
Only one boy remained rooted to the spot.
"Wait! Don't speak!!! Big brother! This, isn't this your father?!" a tall, thin boy asked quickly.
When Xu Qingying became empress, he went there with his father to offer his congratulations and met Lu Zhengran's father!
Isn't that Lu Zhengran's father?!
The tall, thin man's words struck like a thunderbolt, directly hitting the heads of all the young men and women present.
Their brains have shut down.
"What did you say?!" The chubby boy grabbed the tall, thin boy's shoulder.
"This is my brother's father! I've seen him before! He looks just like this!" the tall, thin boy replied quickly.
The chubby boy wasn't stupid; he instantly seemed to realize something and pouted, "Big brother, you couldn't find a portrait of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, so you drew a portrait of your own father instead, and then..."
Before his underlings could offer any strange guesses, Lu Zhengran stated directly, "My father is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor."
He said this in an extremely calm manner, as if he were talking about everyday matters.
However, his seemingly casual remark struck the minds of all the young men and women present like a bolt from the blue.
Boom boom boom!
They were blasted until they were charred and burnt to a crisp.
Your father is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!
"No! Big brother! You're not kidding us?!" the chubby boy shouted, covering his head with his hands. His originally small eyes had now become the size of bull's eyes.
The appearance was extremely exaggerated.
"Wait a minute! Didn't you just say that your dad and the Eternal Night Demon Emperor wore the same pair of pants since they were little...? Uh!" One of them was about to say something, but suddenly couldn't continue.
They really did grow up wearing the same pair of pants!
"Would I lie to you? Oh, right, this is a gift from my father." Lu Zhengran pulled out a small stack of Demon God Mother Tree leaves.
For the past few days, he had been practicing Saber Dao in an unusual way every day. So he took the treasured sword, took over his uncle's original job, and became like a gardener, tending to the yard.
Use the precious sword to sweep the floor, use it to weed, use it to repel mosquitoes, and so on.
Every time he went to the pond to weed, he would find that the Demon God Mother Tree was like a middle-aged man losing his hair, with a dozen or twenty leaves falling to the ground.
It's the same every day.
In just this short time, he has collected so many leaves of the Demon God Mother Tree that they are too many to fit in a single box.
He had asked his father what to do with the leaves of the Demon God Mother Tree, and his father told him to just keep them as he pleased, and if he couldn't finish them for making tea, he could take them back as gifts for his friends.
Therefore, he decided to give each of his younger siblings a leaf from the Demon God Mother Tree.
"One leaf for each person." Lu Zhengran distributed a leaf of the Demon God Mother Tree to everyone present.
Several young men and women looked at Lu Zhengran with suspicion, then took a closer look at the leaves of the Demon God Mother Tree.
What is this thing?
It contains such powerful energy!
"Big brother! What's this?" the chubby boy asked.
"The Demon God Mother Tree Leaf," Lu Zhengran said calmly.
"What?!?" The chubby boy and his father were both fans of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, so they naturally knew what the Demon God Mother Tree was. At this moment, their eyes widened and became bloodshot.
Her hands, holding the leaves of the Demon God Mother Tree, trembled violently.
The others were also utterly shocked.
"Big brother! Your father... is he really the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!"
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Lu Zhengran nodded calmly. "That's right, my cultivation level was also improved with my father's help."
The group opened their mouths wide, speechless, as if something had blocked their mouths, and their throats felt incredibly dry.
"Then... then, brother, isn't the Eternal Night Demon Emperor with Xue Tianfei...?" the young woman stammered.
Lu Zhengran smiled and nodded, "That's right, Xue Tianfei is my stepmother."
Lu Zhengran silenced everyone present with another sentence.
One hour later.
Several young men and women left Lu Zhengran's residence together, then boarded their respective flying boats and flew off in different directions at top speed.
Not long after.
They all returned to their homes.
The chubby boy rushed into his parents' room as fast as he could.
"Dad!! My dear Dad!!! What are you doing! Stop right now! I have something important to tell you!!!" The chubby boy pushed the door open and shouted.
However, when he entered and saw his father pouncing on his mother with a wicked grin on his face, he fell silent.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
"You unfilial son! Can't you knock?!"
The chubby boy shouted, "Dad! We can plan for my younger siblings later! Come out now! I have something important to tell you!! It concerns the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!!"
"Wait! The Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, flashing with light, before he quickly looked at his wife. "Wife! We'll have a more in-depth discussion later! I'll be right back!"
In a flash, he grabbed his son and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I give up! The Eternal Night Demon Emperor is your wife and mother?!" the woman scoffed.
Outside.
The chubby boy's mouth seemed to be on double speed as he frantically recounted what had just happened. He then took out the scroll of portraits and the leaf of the Demon God Mother Tree!
"No! You mean Xu Qingying's ex-husband, Lu Qing'an, is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!" The middle-aged man was shocked. He took the scroll and saw that the person in the scroll was indeed Lu Qing'an!
Upon seeing that leaf of the Demon God Mother Tree again, his legs went weak.
These are indeed leaves from the Demon God Mother Tree!
And it's the leaves at the very top!!!
