Chapter 431 - 331: Worries
Originally, I should have eaten Sara earlier, but other matters delayed it.
On the night before parting ways, Sara finally turned her pink-themed bedroom and the whole of Shanghai into a pink paradise.
Lynn had to admit, the Furious Demon King, who had no temper to lose, was truly soft, even softer than her other sisters.
...
The next morning, Lynn returned early to the Demon Emperor Palace and picked up the two little ones who were reluctant to leave their Divine Aunties and set off on their journey home.
Though it was called a homeward journey, from the perspective of a True God, traversing between two adjacent worlds didn’t involve an actual journey—it was just a blink of an eye.
Little Youli and Little Yuna were still waving their small hands when the family of three had already returned to the Miracle World.
"Daddy, are we really bad people?"
After leaving the Demon Realm and breathing in the fresh air of the Miracle World, Little Youli and Little Yuna, who were previously enthusiastically bidding farewell to their demon aunties, suddenly wore troubled expressions.
The mood of the two little ones visibly dimmed, and anyone could see they were not happy.
"There’s no such thing. The Guardian Demon God isn’t considered a bad god, and although the Destruction Demon God is very, very bad, it’s not within Little Yuna. Besides, you both clearly have self-awareness as new beings. After all, the Sub-Soul of the Demon God King wouldn’t easily recognize a father."
Lynn knew that Little Youli and Little Yuna were exceptionally intelligent, far beyond the level of an eight-year-old child. Most of their confused demeanor while in the Demon Realm was an act, to avoid acknowledging that identity in front of the Seven Great Demon Kings.
But now that they were back in the Miracle World, with none of their mothers around, the two little ones found it hard to conceal their small thoughts and couldn’t hold back.
To soothe the children’s emotions, Lynn squatted down, touching heads with them, gently explaining.
It was not just to comfort them; this was indeed the reality, as he had also explained to his Demon King wives.
Although Little Youli and Little Yuna were noticeably smarter than kids their age, they still had childlike innocence and weren’t like some ancient monsters.
As for disguising themselves, it was neither necessary nor feasible...
"But... can we be like this now because they haven’t awakened yet? If they wake up one day, will Little Youli and Little Yuna disappear?"
The two little ones clung tightly to Lynn, as if wishing they could meld into him.
At their young age, they shouldn’t have to worry about disappearing or dying, but after their true identity was confirmed in the Demon Realm, they had to face this concern.
If they were merely contaminated by Demonic Qi like many in the Miracle World, they believed that Daddy would surely save them.
But within them slept a Demon God King whom even their demon aunties revered and whom their True God father couldn’t even touch...
Children might not grasp the hierarchy of deities, but they knew that the king of the Demon Gods had to be far superior to a newly made god, or else how could they be a king?
"This is not something you need to worry about. If the sky falls, Daddy will hold it up. All you need to do is grow up happily. Daddy won’t let you disappear, not even if the Demon God King comes!"
This declaration wasn’t just to comfort his daughters but a resolution Lynn made internally.
He now had more and more reasons that compelled him to keep growing stronger, each more dangerous and urgent than the last.
Whether the gods above schemed to drag him up or not, he had to consider ascending sooner.
"It’s better not to. The king of the Demon Gods must be very formidable, perhaps even more so than the Light God King. Little Yuna doesn’t want Daddy to challenge such a powerful Demon God for me. What if Daddy loses? The mommies would be very sad."
Little Yuna, upon hearing Lynn’s words, didn’t seem less worried but, being sensible, she didn’t complain. Instead, she advised Lynn in return.
She even thoughtfully mentioned only that losing would upset the mommies, without suggesting that losing to a Demon God could mean death...
"That’s right, we’re not that important. In the future, Lynn Daddy will have many more children, with daughters even more adorable than us. If you take risks for our sake, what about the mommies? What about the future brothers and sisters?"
Equally sensible, Little Youli refrained from saying things like "we’re not Daddy’s biological children," but how could the safety of two daughters outweigh the future of the whole family?
Lynn Daddy is truly the mainstay of the family. Without Little Youli and Little Yuna, the children of Mommy Xiya and Mommy Hilvy will be born to fill the void. But if Lynn Daddy is gone, it would be like the sky falling.
Moreover, Lynn Daddy isn’t just the pillar of their family but also the Miracle World. Without him, even if the demon aunties next door didn’t invade, other enemies might target them.
Who wouldn’t when the Miracle World relies on a single pillar of strength?
Children might not understand too much, but they know that being too weak invites trouble. Bad people don’t stop bullying you because you are weak; they bully you because you are weak.
