Roar~!

"Ahhh! I'm scared! Big Treasure's scared! Daddy!"

Big Treasure burst into tears upon rushing up more than 100 meters into the sky at one go. With a smile, Wang Hu caught him and comforted him unhurriedly. "There, there. Don't worry, Big Treasure. Everything's fine. See?

"With Daddy around, everything will be fine. Isn't it very fun? Let's give it a go again."

A few more times later, Big Treasure—who had relaxed and become much bolder—started to cheer in delight.

Little Treasure, who had originally been rather scared, then started to whine that she also wanted to play.

Wang Hu was entirely okay with it. With one in each hand, he tossed them up into the sky.

The two little fellows were sturdily built so this didn't count as much to them at all. Given Wang Hu's strength, this was naturally a piece of cake for him, too. If anything were to go wrong even in this situation, he could just end his own life right away.

So he gradually started to toss them higher and higher.

The two little fellows' laughter and cheers filled the sky.

Nearby, both Wang Shan and Su Ling had stopped cultivating and were watching them. Weirded-out looks began to surface on their countenances as they did.

Wang Shan looked at his eldest brother who was smiling wider and wider as he became more and more enthusiastic in tossing his children up into the air. Then, he looked at Big Treasure and Little Treasure who were soaring higher and higher into the air, almost reaching an altitude of 300 to 400 meters. He shook his head and looked at the damn fox a short distance away. He couldn't help but whisper.

Roar~!

"Hey, fox. Do you think Big Brother is really doing that to cheer Big Treasure and Little Treasure up? Why do I feel like he's having more fun than them?"

Wang Hu's smile froze subtly for a moment. Then, he went on as though nothing had happened.

Alarmed, Su Ling cast a glance at the stupid Third Master. She began to sneer inwardly at him right away.

Don't you know how petty the demon lord is?

Don't you know that this bit of distance won't hinder the demon lord from hearing you in the least?

Haha, just wait for it. You can just wait to be beaten up for daring to expose the demon lord so openly. That's for always intimidating me and refusing to call me by my name.

I'm not going to warn you at all.

No, in fact, I'm even going to make it worse.

Her eyes immediately swiveled to the side, and she said seriously and righteously, "What nonsense. My lord is obviously doing it to make the little prince and little princess happy."

Wang Shan glared at her right away. That damn fox. It wasn't lesson time at the moment. How dare she still talk to him like this? Even saying that he was spouting nonsense?

Roar~!

"Hmph. How could I have possibly made a mistake in my judgment? Stupid fox. How dare you show me disrespect. If not for Big Brother, I'd have eaten you for sure."

His ferocious might frightened Su Ling into trembling all over, and she immediately ran far away from him. At the same time, while she was scared, she was also elated.

Stupid Third Master, just you wait. That's for intimidating me. Hehe, do you think I watched all those imperial harem and backyard1 television dramas for nothing?

Wang Shan also let out a cold snort. That damn fox ought to be taught a lesson or two for using Big Brother's words to lecture him every day.

Nearby, Wang Hu inhaled lightly, seemingly suppressing some kind of emotion. Then, he continued to play with the two little fellows.

He continued to toss them into the air until the two little fellows became dizzy, and their minds turned cloudy. It was only when they were all tuckered out from laughing and Wang Hu coaxed them into sleeping in the cave that he finally exhaled a long, slow breath.

Upon seeing that Su Ling was cultivating at the other side, he walked slowly toward Old Third with a steady and domineering gait.

Roar~!

"What's the matter, Big Brother?"

Wang Shan asked immediately when he saw his eldest brother walking over.

Wang Hu revealed a small smile. Then, he nodded and said with a calm tone, "Old Third, you're in charge of the next five days' worth of food supplies."

His words took Wang Shan by surprise, and a look of puzzlement came over his features.

Roar~!

"Why is that, Big Brother?"

The smile on Wang Hu's face widened a little. Suddenly, his palm went flying out, striking Old Third onto the floor. Then, he slapped his bottom ruthlessly. It felt painful just hearing the sound of the impact alone.

"Ahhh!"

Wang Shan cried out at once.

Wang Hu's smile disappeared. He said without rushing any of his words, "Does Big Brother need a reason to beat you up? Or need to explain why?"

Wang Shan immediately shook his large head. His body, which looked unusually huge next to Wang Hu's Dao form, actually seemed somewhat pitiful in this instant. He raised his voice and shouted loudly.

Roar~!

"Not at all, not at all. Big Brother can beat me up whenever he wants to. Whatever Big Brother says is what goes."

Wang Hu nodded. Then, he flipped his wrist and gave Wang Shan another slap. A golden palm struck Wang Shan on his bottom that he was protecting behind him, and a loud smack rang out together with another cry.

"Since you already know that, then why are you still asking for a reason?"

Smack!

"Ahhh!"

Another slap landed on Wang Shan, causing him to leap dozens of meters high into the air from the pain. Yet, he didn't dare to flee after he landed and could only gaze pitifully at his eldest brother. He simply didn't understand what he had done wrong.

Of course, while he certainly didn't understand, having been beaten up so often; he did know one thing: at times like this, he had to admit his wrongdoing.

Roar~!

"I won't ask anymore, Big Brother. I've learned my lesson."

"Ha." Wang Hu sneered calmly. As though he had expected better from Wang Shan, he barked, "You've learned your lesson? Do you think you're still a child? Do you think everything will be alright the moment you say that you've learned your lesson?

"The way I see it, you simply have a better memory for pain than a memory for things. To think you even said that you couldn't have possibly made a mistake in your judgment. Considering how awful you are at judging something, what can you possibly judge right?"

Smack!

As though the more he spoke, the angrier he was; Wang Hu gave Wang Shan another forceful slap. Wang Shan was just about to cry out again when another slap struck him.

"Go on, scream again. You're a big buff man, and yet you can't even take a bit of pain. What are you even capable of?

"Today, I'm going to let you know what kind of things you can't just say so carelessly."

The moment he finished, Wang Hu slapped Wang Shan dozens of times successively. Wang Shan's screams and cries became louder and louder and more and more tragic.

Only then did Wang Hu feel much better. He chided, "Let me tell you this. I can go easy on you if you speak carelessly in front of me, but if you dare speak so carelessly in front of your sister-in-law, I'll break your leg, connect it, then break it again before connecting it again, and pluck out all of your fur."

Wang Shan immediately nodded again and again as he grunted in pain. It was only when he saw that his eldest brother had walked off that he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Regret filled him as he twisted his head around and gazed at his swollen bottom.

His screams hadn't been tragic enough just now, leading to his eldest brother hitting him so many times.

Next time, he must scream as desperately as he could so that Big Brother would hit him less.

As he thought about it, indignation filled him again. It wasn't like he had said anything wrong. Big Brother had indeed been enjoying himself very much and had been enjoying himself even more than Big Treasure and Little Treasure. How could it possibly deceive his eyes?

He snorted coldly a couple of times before limping and hobbling over to the side. He would take a nap first. Once he fell asleep, it wouldn't hurt anymore. By the time he woke up, it would have more or less healed.

When he thought of how he had been put in charge of the next five days' worth of food supplies, though, he felt awful again.

He even had to hunt for that damn fox, too. How hateful.

One day, when Big Brother stops protecting her, I'll definitely eat her.

Su Ling, whom Wang Shan was feeling incredible hostility toward at the moment, was currently cultivating with a look of smugness and delight in her eyes.

Hehe, stupid Third Master.

That's for intimidating me all the time. With my lord protecting me, do you think I'd be scared of you?

Hmph. When… When…

A look of bashfulness and infatuation surfaced in her eyes.

When that happens, I'll definitely get my lord to teach you a lesson every day.

…

Elsewhere, even though Wang Hu was still in a rather awful mood because he had expected better from Old Third, he had more or less calmed down.

After experiencing it so many times, he was now certain that fighting was definitely a venting outlet for one's emotions, and beating up other people felt even better.

It was just like how his good mood had recovered now after he had beaten Old Third up.

However, he was also reflecting on something: they had slacked off on Old Third's lessons recently.

Hardy and well-built, that fellow was a classic example of someone who forgot things the moment they were told. Words just went in one ear and out the other. He had to be taught a good lesson. One absolutely mustn't show him any leniency.

He could let the matter of Wang Shan uttering nonsense and slandering him in front of him rest, but what if he 'slandered' his great, noble, and just image in front of Silly Girl someday?

He had to pay a little more attention to this third brother.

That cowardly fox, too. It had already been so long, and yet the results were still lackluster. He had to keep a closer watch on her.

Did those two fellows slack off after he went into seclusion for a month for his breakthrough?

After pondering about it for a while, he made up his mind. From this day onward, he must supervise those two strictly.

With a flash, he came to a nearby mountain peak, consumed a pill, and began to cultivate. During these recent few days, he consumed a pill once every two to three days, resulting in rapid improvement in his cultivation.

To date, half a month had gone by. His shoulder height had already grown by one meter, and his divine power had increased by quite a fair bit.

Time passed little by little. Ever since that day, Wang Hu had kept stricter supervision over Old Third and Su Ling. As for Big Treasure and Little Treasure, the resigned Wang Hu could only cajole them with different antics every once in a while.

He was very perplexed about this. They didn't seem that hard to please when Silly Girl was around?

Was it because they were afraid of Silly Girl but felt that he, their father, was a pushover?

However, no matter how suspicious, strong, and invincible on Earth he was; there was nothing he could do.

Those two little fellows were too young. They were only two years old and were so adorable when they called him Daddy in their young, childish voices when they weren't throwing tantrums. He simply couldn't bring himself to discipline them.

Even if he wanted to give them the kind of complete, all-rounded childhood that he had heard in the past that children should have, he felt that it was still too soon to do it.

In the end, he decided that he would just wait and give it to them when they weren't so adorable anymore.

These were the seeds he had sown and the things that he had decided to do. No matter how tough it was, he had to bear with it.

Every day, he suffered the torment of being a babysitter; every day, he counted the days and hoped that Silly Girl would succeed and come out of seclusion sooner.

Another few days later, in the cave where Silly Girl had gone into seclusion, that aura intensified tremendously once more.

Boom!

Wang Hu's expression changed slightly amid the silent explosion. He was actually feeling a sense of repression that originated from his bloodline.

Had Silly Girl awakened some kind of powerful bloodline?

His two special abilities activated and expelled that sense of repression.

He was elated. The eighth round of metamorphosis had been successful. On top of that, Silly Girl was evidently in wonderful condition.

He turned over. As though they had sensed something, Big Treasure and Little Treasure were cheering and calling out 'Mommy! Mommy!'

As for Old Third, he was prostrating on the ground with his head hung low, submissive and fearful.

Su Ling was more or less in the same state, except even more fearful.

"The two of you can retreat further away," said Wang Hu with a wave.

Silly Girl's current aura, together with the might from her bloodline, was too powerful for Old Third and Su Ling to endure. Staying here would only be detrimental to them.

Wang Shan and Su Ling immediately nodded and ran into the distance in a pathetic state.

Wang Hu didn't look at them. Instead, he gazed at the cave with his eyes full of anticipation and a bit of nervousness. She had one last round to go.

Silly Girl~

We're finally going to meet again!

This will definitely be a new beginning for us.

In the cave beyond his sight, apart from deep black patterns, all of Di Baijun's fur had completely turned a snowy-white color.

She looked incredibly pure and holy, domineering and arrogant, noble and elegant.

On top of that, the change was still progressing to an even deeper level.

An extremely ancient and powerful aura formed around her.

This refers to a man's harem of wives. The women of a rich or prestigious household usually live in the inner buildings of the residence. The term 'backyard' is a metaphor used to refer to them.
