Chapter 478 : The Final War (1)
The string of words sent a jolt through Jiang Rufeng, leading the hardened alpha to whip around, his face a canvas of shock. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he met his wife’s scowling gaze.
"Oh, Jianshen, it’s just..."
He clutched the soft candies behind his back like a squirrel desperately trying to shield a stolen nut, but Xie Jianshen, with the swiftness of a hawk, snatched them from his grasp.
"No candies before bed," he announced.
Ignoring his helpless husband, he took both boys by their hands and dragged them toward his own bed chamber. "Rufeng, sleep in your own chamber tonight."

Jiang Rufeng only dared to heave a sigh after his wife and his twin nephews were out of sight.
With a decisive turn, he strode off to his private quarters. These were graciously allocated for his use whenever the Heavenly Emperor didn’t require his presence.
Xie Jianshen propped himself up on one arm, his gaze lingering on the peaceful faces of Zhang Mingrui and Xie Junjie.

A gentle smile played on Xie Jianshen’s lips as he patted the twins’ small forms beneath the covers.

He was not sure which one was more ridiculous -- the story of Zhang Fengxi going back in time to fix his poor life choices or the story of Xie Jianyu’s transmigrated soul choosing to side with the Demonic Realm and serving as the Second Demon King.
"Foolish," Xie Jianshen murmured while shaking his head.
