Chapter 1964: 1964
Shen Manting froze, and she turned her head around to take a look .
Shen Luo’an was all dusty, and it was obvious that he’d just come home from being outside . His eyes were slightly red .
He stood outside the room and looked in through the gap in the door, which had been left ajar .
Her heart jolted when she saw him, and she reached out her hand to close the door all the way .
But Shen Luo’an quickly stopped the door from being closed before turning his body sideways to squeeze in .
After he came inside, Shen Manting immediately caught a whiff of alcohol off him, and the smell raised the alarm bells in her head .
Shocked, she held the baby and backed away, alert . “You drank?” she asked .
Shen Luo’an narrowed his eyes and appeared slightly sluggish .
He watched her with bloodshot eyes, and there was an indescribable, deep look in his eyes .
Shen Manting felt increasingly uneasy, and she took another step back . “Move aside . The baby’s still here!”
When Shen Luo’an heard this, he seemed to sober up slightly, because he took a step back .
He then took off his jacket and hung it up .
After that, he slowly walked over to her .
Shen Manting felt alarmed, and before she realized it, she had backed into a corner of the room .
“What are you afraid of?” Shen Luo’an lowered his bloodshot eyes slightly and looked at her . “I won’t eat you . ”
Shen Manting looked at him and began to frown .
“Which ‘Yue’ and which ‘Xiao’ is it?”
Shen Manting was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t manage to react .
“Didn’t you name the child already?”
After a moment of silence, Shen Manting replied calmly, “Yes . ‘Yue’ as in ‘to surpass,’ and ‘Xiao’ as in ‘a hero . ‘”

“A hero?” Shen Luo’an suddenly laughed .
Shen Manting found his laughter random, and she couldn’t at all understand what he was laughing about .
“That name’s too fierce . It would be best to change it to a different one . ”
“Fierce?”
“Yes,” Shen Luo’an replied . His gaze shifted to the baby in Shen Manting’s arms . “I asked my grandmother to read his fortune . This baby is ill-fated . ”
When Shen Manting heard this, she was shocked for a moment, but her shock quickly turned into rage, and she said, “You’re the one who’s ill-fated!”
Shen Luo’an took one glance at her face and said in a low voice, “I don’t believe it either, but Grandmother said his health might not be too good . If he follows you, he might die a premature death . ”
“Nonsense!” Shen Manting was furious . “Don’t think of fooling me . If you want this child that badly, you should’ve cooked up a better excuse!”
Shen Luo’an’s expression darkened, and he said, “If I wanted the child, I could just snatch him away, and there’d be nothing that you could do about it . ”
Shen Manting stopped speaking and clenched her teeth in silence .
“Look at you now . You have neither money nor power . All you have is a decent-looking face, but you’ve ruined that now . ” He looked at her and asked disdainfully, “What do you have to fight against me? Take a look at yourself in the mirror . Now, you’re not even pretty enough to sell your own body . ”
Shen Luo’an’s words were too honest and direct .
They stabbed Shen Manting’s heart, and her face instantly turned pale .
“What? You can’t take it?” Shen Luo’an looked at her and laughed mockingly . “It’s the honest truth . Don’t think too highly of yourself . If it wasn’t because I genuinely wanted to take you home, do you honestly think that I would enjoy wasting my time with you like this?”

“Definitely . ” In her heart, she knew this better than anyone else .
Everything Shen Luo’an said was the truth .
However, he sounded as if he were a humiliated beggar who had nothing to his name .
Shen Manting gritted her teeth and smirked coldly . “So you’re becoming angry now because you can’t take it anymore?” she asked .
The smile disappeared from Shen Luo’an’s face, and his expression darkened .
He clenched his teeth and laughed coldly . “Look who’s talking . ”
“Haha . ” Shen Manting gave a cold sneer, but she didn’t speak .
Shen Luo’an’s expression turned even uglier, and he suddenly reached out his hand and pinched her jaw .

The Forgotten Hero
Long ago, in the world of Thyne, the Alliance of the Free Races, a name they had given themselves, summoned a hundred humans from another dimension. Praised as heroes by the people, they rejoiced that they had been able to acquire pure, mana deficient humans that wanted to aid them in their time of need, ignoring the black, archaic slave collars around their necks or the depressed, almost hate-filled expressions that they received when interacting with them. After Ten years of bloody war, the dark races were pushed back deep into their territories. Both sides were near breaking point and desperate to end the war once and for all. In a bargain, the twelve surviving heroes launched a high-risk mission, utilising advanced tactics from their home world to kill the Demon Lord. In exchange, they would be sent home, along with the magically preserved corpses of their comrades, though in truth, they knew that even if they returned, they would never be the same. Legends say that, upon ambushing the Demon Lord in his castle, they finally understood the plight of the world, and in the last act of heroism, sacrificed their lives, sealing him in an eternal prison so his essence would not be able to create another. With the loss of the Demon Lord, and no chance for another to be born, the dark races quickly surrendered and the free races celebrated, honouring the noble sacrifice of the heroes before quickly forgetting about them as they returned to their everyday lives. However, legends are rarely truthful, embellished by the victors in order to earn praise as well as hide the less desirable aspects of their deeds. Trapped in the Demon Lord's throne room inside the Demonic Palace, which even taking a single step on its desecrated grounds is punished by death, two figures remain motionless. They had long run out of insults and threats to trade and now they waited. For what, not even the Gods knew.
