Chapter 310 Mutual Taunts
Carrying the stone treasure, Jiang Ming walked out of the cyan light gate and along the passage for a while. When he saw the open stone gate in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief. The passage was indeed very stable.
Shi Bao was so excited; he was about to see his mother.
The little boy twisted off his father and ran towards the stone gate with a kick of his little legs.
Before even stepping out of the stone gate, he was already calling out, "Mother! Mother! Mother..."
"Oh dear! It's Shi Bao's voice." Shen Yao put down her teacup, got up, and ran towards the stone gate.
The little white ball ran incredibly fast, a big smile on its face, and charged into Shen Yao's arms like a cannonball, making her stumble.
He truly deserves to be called a born immortal emperor.
Even if he is just a little kid, even if he hasn't mastered all the techniques yet.
It could even knock an adult immortal ancestor off balance.
Holding the soft, fluffy dumpling in her arms, Shen Yao's heart melted.
Shi Bao's face was fair and clean, and his eyes were bright and sparkling with pure light.
"Mother!" the little dumpling cried out sweetly, as if she were still a baby, her voice still sweet and childish.
Shen Yao smiled, revealing her white teeth: "How did you recognize Mother?"
"Father said Mother has changed her appearance, but Mother will definitely be the first one to come and pick up Shi Bao."
Shi Bao held Shen Yao's neck with one hand and pointed to the stone door with the other: "Father is still behind."
As Jiang Mingzheng emerged from the stone gate, he saw the mother and child embracing each other, and a gentle smile appeared on his cold face.
Surprisingly, it doesn't feel out of place.
Shen Yao didn't greet Jiang Ming, yet their next meeting came so soon.
He didn't say he'd go back at noon, but would come in the afternoon.
She carried Shi Bao toward the pavilion. When Shi Bao saw Feng Yu, his smile faded a little, but when he got closer, he still greeted him politely, "Uncle Feng Yu."
Feng Yu didn't mind Shi Bao's aloofness. The fact that the child didn't show any hatred towards him meant that Jiang Ming had taught him well.
"Good boy, Shi Bao." He gave Shi Bao a fatherly smile and reached out to hug the little bundle of joy.
Shi Bao hugged Shen Yao tightly without letting go, but said very sensibly, "Shi Bao will hug Mommy, and then hug Uncle Feng Yu later."
The clever child naturally defused Feng Yu's embarrassment.
Shen Yao and Feng Yu exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes: the child had been well-educated over the years.
Jiang Ming is indeed very good at taking care of children.
Tu Xiaoxiao was petrified at this moment, staring intently at Shi Bao's face and observing him closely.
Why does the child's face look exactly like Jiang Ming's?
Didn't they say the child was found?
Jiang Ming walked into the pavilion and stood behind Shen Yao. The father and son's faces were compared, and they were indeed exactly the same.
Tu Xiaoxiao felt deeply deceived.
He couldn't ask questions in front of the children.
His fox ears drooped, and his fox tail thumped the ground impatiently.
It was the first time Shi Bao had ever seen a fox demon, and he found it very novel. He was immediately attracted by the large, fluffy fox tail.
The little dumpling's gaze shifted from the fox tail to Tu Xiaoxiao's face, and she greeted him sweetly with a smile, "Hello, Uncle."
They were surprisingly polite.
Tu Xiaoxiao smiled with her eyes narrowed, showing no displeasure whatsoever: "Good boy."
After dealing with the situation, he gave Jiang Ming a wink, and Jiang Ming immediately understood. The two male cultivators then quietly went to the side.
Jiang Ming walked until he reached the large tree outside the courtyard gate, making sure the pavilion in the courtyard couldn't hear him, then stopped: "Why did you call me out?"
Tu Xiaoxiao used the "Heart-to-Heart" technique on him: "That child, is it your biological child?"
Jiang Ming's eyes were unfriendly: "Nonsense."
Didn't you see that your son looks just like him?
Tu Xiaoxiao asked again, "Did Shen Yao give birth to him?"
Jiang Ming smiled, puffed out his chest, and raised his chin: "Of course."
Tu Xiaoxiao became even more agitated, slapping her fox tail and kicking up dust. Wasn't it said that a body made of clay cannot be reborn?
How could you treat him like such a big fool?
Feeling agitated, he blurted out all the questions he wanted to ask: "How was the child born? When was it born? What is your relationship with her?"
The shrewd fox demon, who had been clever for eight hundred years, now looked like a complete fool.
Jiang Ming was delighted. The fox demon was looking for excitement, and he was more than willing to give it a good thrashing.
How was she born?
Jiang Ming said with a playful expression, "Of course, they were paired up and bound by a contract, and that's how they were born."
Two of the nine fox tails lashed against the tree trunk, and they had also formed a pact…
She did have a marriage certificate below her collarbone, so it wasn't with Feng Yu?
Doesn't that mean Jiang Ming is the legitimate husband?
Damn it! Tu Xiaoxiao was so angry she wanted to curse. Feng Yu was really something, bullying both the older and younger women. She had always thought Feng Yu was the legitimate wife.
It's a huge injustice. Jiang Ming's marriage certificate is fake, and Feng Yu is indeed the legal wife.
Jiang Ming thought that he couldn't beat the Demon Lord in a fight, but it would be great if he could anger him to leave.
"Our child was born fifteen years ago."
"She took the initiative to propose to me as a partner."
She conceived Shi Bao on her first try.
He clicked his tongue twice and looked at the fox tail with disdain: "You can't be envious."
Tu Xiaoxiao felt very uncomfortable with that look in his eyes, and he angrily retracted all of his fox tail.
Jiang Ming shifted his gaze to his fox ears and sneered, "How dare you, a demon, covet a fairy?"
His words were sharper than a fox demon's: "Immortals and demons are on different paths, don't you know that?"
Immortals and demons are on different paths, yet immortals and demons are on different paths again.
Tu Xiaoxiao got angry when she heard those four words: "So what if immortals and demons are on different paths? She still took me in."
"Ha." Jiang Ming sneered, his words devoid of any respect: "The bloodline of the demon race is inferior. You are just a bunch of strange beasts that can transform, low-level animals."
Demon cultivators all know that immortal cultivators are arrogant and look down on the demon race.
But Tu Xiaoxiao had never experienced such a close and humiliating encounter with a cultivator.
His face turned ashen with rage, and he struggled to suppress the urge to kill Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming took it as hitting a nerve with the fox demon, leaving him speechless, and pressed his advantage: "You really think she likes you? She just treats you like a pet, a plaything."
'Boom! '
Jiang Ming was slapped and sent flying against the courtyard wall.
His internal organs ruptured, and he coughed up blood, half of his life was gone.
Hearing the commotion, the mother and child ran out of the yard and, upon seeing what was happening, began to cry and scream.
The mother and son were heartbroken. The image of Shen Yao crying and blaming him flashed quickly through Tu Xiaoxiao's mind.
He took a deep breath, resisted the urge to slap Jiang Ming away, adjusted his breathing, and put on an indifferent smile.
"I was originally going to be her spirit pet."
Tu Xiaoxiao spoke as if it were an honor: "I am willing to be her spirit pet. Even if she treats me as a plaything, it is because she likes me."
He emphasized each word with a controlled tone: "Better than you."
Tu Xiaoxiao's cunning gleamed in her eyes: "You agree, right, Jiang Ming?"
"Even if you have a child, she won't acknowledge you. I, a demon, feel sorry for you."
If he weren't outmatched, Jiang Ming would have already resorted to ruthless tactics.
Each mountain is higher than the other.
The fox demon before him was superior to him in both strength and cunning.
Jiang Ming had no choice but to hold back for the time being.
"What are you talking about?" Shen Yao asked loudly from the courtyard gate, interrupting their argument.
Feng Yu stood beside Shen Yao, holding the child in one arm and pulling her hand with the other.
The cold moon and gentle breeze made them a perfect match, and they looked like a loving and happy family of three.
Jiang Ming turned around and was about to go back into the courtyard.
"Hey, wait a minute." Tu Xiaoxiao called out to him, took two steps forward to close the distance, and whispered, "What's the point of us being jealous of each other? She loves Feng Yu the most, so why don't we cooperate?"
Jiang Ming looked at him suspiciously: "How do we cooperate?"
Tu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "Do you want her to acknowledge you?"
