King of Creation Chapter 2009 - 1994: Father and Daughter Reunited

With the Demon Race Dao Realm’s flesh and bones containing immense energy to consume, along the way, the little cat’s cultivation continued to rise.

The little cat’s speed of flight was also slowly and steadily increasing.

In the span of a day and a night, the little cat had already flown with Ye Zhen at least five million miles away.

Being five million miles away from White Tiger City, Ye Zhen finally relaxed his tense heart.

The power displayed by the Black Tiger King earlier was truly terrifying.

Honestly, Ye Zhen felt a bit fortunate about the transaction he initially made with the Black Tiger King.

If it weren’t for Ye Zhen’s thorough preparation back then, by tampering with the Immortal Peach used in the transaction to threaten the Black Tiger King, it might have been a different story whether Ye Zhen could leave smoothly at that time.

Thinking about how the Black Tiger King waved his hand and the strategist Hur Mo under Black Cloud Great Sage quietly turned to ashes, his soul dispersed on the spot.

Although this was just a Divine Separation left by a Little Demon on White Tiger Mountain, which could only see but not hear, at the instant Hur Mo was shattered by the Black Tiger King, Ye Zhen was truly terrified.

For the first time, Ye Zhen saw such a horrifying existence as mentioned by Grand Priest Nahar, trapped at the Creation Realm for countless years.

It’s worth knowing that Hur Mo was at the peak of the Mid Dao Realm, and once Hur Mo broke through to the Late Dao Realm, it was a certainty to become a Titled Great Sage.

Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult even for a Titled Great Sage to kill Hur Mo.

However, with a simple wave of the hand, the Black Tiger King disintegrated Hur Mo’s body into ashes, and his soul dispersed.

This made Ye Zhen incredibly frightened.

Ye Zhen didn’t know if he would disintegrate his soul and body in the same way if he faced the Black Tiger King.

This answer is unknown until confronted.

Because Ye Zhen possesses the All Living Beings’ Will Power, something that is extremely rare and envied even by Creation Gods in this world.

Maybe, at a critical moment, Ye Zhen could use the All Living Beings’ Will Power to save his life.

But what about Hu Qingtong?

What about Chi Ling’er?

What about Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong, Xuan Hu, and the little cat?

Ye Zhen can be sure that if any of them faced the Black Tiger King, they would undoubtedly end up just like Hur Mo, their bodies disintegrating and souls dispersing.

The mere thought of such a situation, let alone its occurrence, felt like tens of thousands of saw blades were cutting through Ye Zhen’s heart, making it hard to breathe.

It was an unbearable pain.

So, at the first moment, Ye Zhen fled a thousand miles away.

A thousand miles away was just the beginning of how far he would run.

Existences like the Black Tiger King, as of now, Ye Zhen absolutely would not provoke unless necessary.

Furthermore, the emergence of the Black Tiger King also served as a wake-up call for Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen was no longer afraid of ordinary Dao Realms, but not all Dao Realms are equal, and even peaks of the Late Dao Realm differ substantially.

The gap stemming from such differences in strength could be countless times over.

Just like the Half-step Creation Illustrious Sage from the Heavenly Temple was indeed formidable, yet when chasing Ye Zhen in the Yizhi Sand Sea, Ye Zhen was still able to escape rather easily.

But if it were the Black Tiger King hunting him, Ye Zhen wouldn’t hold even the slightest bit of confidence in escaping!

Thus, Ye Zhen continued his relentless escape for five million miles.

Beyond five million miles, only then did Ye Zhen feel a hint of safety, but the little cat’s speed did not slow down; instead, it increased even more.

Xuan Hu had been saved, and Hu Qingtong and Chi Ling’er were also brought out; Ye Zhen planned to return to the Primordial Continent, back to his territory.

In just two to three months, Ye Zhen and his group managed to offend three out of the five major Demon Races ruling the Taimeng Demon Realm.

They had angered the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor, the White Tiger Demon Emperor, and Emperor Kun of the Bear Clan, not to mention the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King.

Although Ye Zhen and his group had only offended parts of these Demon Emperors’ forces, they had undoubtedly become their enemies.

One could say that more than half of the Taimeng Demon Realm’s Demon Race had in essence positioned themselves against them.

Ye Zhen felt that it was too dangerous here and that they had to leave quickly.

As for finding Caiyi, that matter could only be postponed for now, which left Ye Zhen quite helpless.

Honestly, in the past, Ye Zhen wouldn’t have backed down.

Enemies all around, Ye Zhen’s life was worth nothing, and he’d charge against all odds, risking his life boldly!

But now, it was different. Both Chi Ling’er and Hu Qingtong had their fates intertwined with Ye Zhen’s fortunes and misfortunes.

If Ye Zhen were to die, Chi Ling’er and Hu Qingtong would definitely have no escape.

Thus, no matter how much Ye Zhen missed Caiyi, he could only set it aside for now.

That’s the responsibility of a man, and what a man must shoulder.

"Little cat, if you feel tired, you can slow down a bit!"

"Not tired at all, I’m full of energy! It’s just this Demon Realm’s bear thigh is hard to chew, but delicious!" the little cat muttered indistinctly.

At that moment, there was a fluctuation in the air around the little cat’s body, and the little cat’s cultivation suddenly broke through from the Sixth Stage of the Realm King Realm to the Seventh Stage.

Moreover, the cultivation aura continued to rise.

"Then do as you wish, just maintain a higher altitude to avoid being disturbed by any unwelcome demons."

"Alright!"

After a few casual instructions, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense directly submerged into the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space to converse with the others.

After obtaining the Secret Technique from his master Lud Li to control the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen became increasingly adept at handling it.

"Hey guys, feeling cooped up? Want to get out for some fresh air?" Ye Zhen’s voice resounded in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space.

Xuan Hu and Sunx Ba both kept their eyes closed for healing, only Zhu Hong remained at ease.

Currently, Zhu Hong was treating Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space as his kitchen.

A massive black pot, at least a hundred meters in diameter, was set up to the side. It was filled with the Dao Realm meat and bone essence blood that had revealed its original form, along with all sorts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that Ye Zhen didn’t recognize.

Grayish-red flames shot from Zhu Hong’s palm, making the ingredients in the black pot boil like a dragon. Unfamiliar ingredients still flew continuously from Zhu Hong’s palm into the pot.

A pot of broth initially with an extremely strong fishy smell was remarkably transformed by the various added ingredients into a milky white, fragrant broth that made one’s throat tighten.

"Hey, how’s this Beast Spirit Essence Soup?"

Zhu Hong boasted to Ye Zhen, his eyebrows dancing, "This is a method of cooking I got from deep within my bloodline memory. Its effects are not inferior to a Dao Realm Spirit Pill, and it’s incredibly fragrant!"

"Want to try it?"

Ye Zhen secretly swallowed a gulp of saliva; the aroma was truly tempting.

"What do you think?"

"Hey, just a bit longer; it’s almost done, only missing the last one hundred and seventy-three Spiritual Medicines, half a quarter-hour, yes, half a quarter-hour in the outside world!"

"Inside your Temporal Sequence Space, a day outside is ten days here, and I’ve already been simmering this soup for a full ten days!" Zhu Hong stated.

"An hour, okay." After speaking, Ye Zhen looked at Hu Qingtong, "Qingtong, how about you? Do you want to go out for some fresh air?"

"Generally speaking, many people are not used to staying in the Temporal Sequence Space for long periods. It takes some time to gradually get accustomed to it," Ye Zhen said.

Hu Qingtong slowly opened her beautiful eyes and then rolled them big at Ye Zhen, "Only a fool would be willing to go out."

"Among us of the Demon Race, the urgency of survival is even greater than that of your Human Clan! Everyone wants to live, to live longer, so we must train desperately, fearing only to waste time.

And here, with the tenfold time difference, training inside for a day is equivalent to ten days of training outside. Only a fool would go out."

With that said, Hu Qingtong looked at the somewhat listless and half-squinting Chi Ling’er with loving eyes, "Our child also needs us to have stronger power to keep him safe."

As she was speaking, Chi Ling’er, who had been trapped inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Hu Qingtong.

"Mother, you said our child?"

"Are you talking about me?"

"Who is the other person among us that you’re talking about?"

"Mother, who exactly are you talking to?"

"Is that person my dad?"

Chi Ling’er’s barrage of questions left Hu Qingtong dumbfounded.

Hu Qingtong thought Chi Ling’er was asleep and didn’t pay attention, so she just casually mentioned it, not expecting the half-awake Chi Ling’er to hear it.

Ye Zhen outside the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space was also a bit surprised.

Originally, they planned to settle down completely in the future and then find a time to properly talk to Chi Ling’er about this to prevent her from being unable to accept it.

Unexpectedly, it was a sentence inadvertently overheard by the child that prompted these questions.

Seeing Hu Qingtong not speaking for a long time, Chi Ling’er became anxious, "Mother, you should answer me!"

"Who exactly is the other person among us, is it my daddy?"

"Or perhaps I still have younger brothers and sisters or other brothers and sisters outside?"

Hu Qingtong blushed a deep red at Chi Ling’er’s words, "Nonsense, you’re mother’s only precious daughter!"

"Then who are the ’we’ you’re talking about?" Chi Ling’er urged.

Zhu Hong, who was simmering soup on the side, stirred the soup with a giant ladle, making the entire Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space filled with an infinite fragrance.

"I say, what’s so hard about answering this? It’s nothing shameful, right?"

"From my point of view, my little niece here, is much stronger than you imagine! Much more sensible!"

Hu Qingtong became more and more uneasy under Chi Ling’er’s burning gaze, looking rather tense as she said, "Chi Ling’er, since you asked, mother won’t hide it from you anymore."

"The person talking to mother just now is indeed your father."

"Really?" Chi Ling’er was full of surprise, "Then where is my daddy, which one is he, mother, please tell me, okay?"

In the next instant, before Hu Qingtong could speak, Ye Zhen quietly appeared beside Chi Ling’er, looking at her with a wide smile, and his sword-like eyebrows shadowed his eyes where water glistened.

"You?"

The quick-witted Chi Ling’er looked at the smiling Ye Zhen, then turned her curious gaze to Hu Qingtong, then quietly asked, "Mother, is it him?"

Hu Qingtong pressed her lips tightly and nodded.

At that moment, both Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong almost held their breath, their eyes unblinking, watching Chi Ling’er, fearing she couldn’t handle the sudden revelation.

At the moment when Ye Zhen and Hu Qingtong were extremely worried, Chi Ling’er suddenly leaped up, nimbly threw herself into Ye Zhen’s arms, and then stared firmly at Ye Zhen and said, "Are you really my daddy?"

Ye Zhen nodded heavily.

Chi Ling’er then turned her gaze to her mother, Hu Qingtong.

Hu Qingtong also nodded heavily.

In the next instant, Chi Ling’er cheered loudly, "I have a daddy!"

"I have a father!"

"I’m not a wild child! I have a daddy!"

The silver-bell-like laughter instantly resonated throughout the entire Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space. That laughter startled Xuan Hu and Sunx Ba, who were cultivating, while Zhu Hong forgot to stir the pot of soup.

The three of them just watched silently, watching the jubilant Chi Ling’er.

As for Ye Zhen, his heart ached bitterly.

Heaven knows how much discrimination and ridicule Chi Ling’er has endured over the years for her to cheer so.

Unable to hold back, tears welled up and overflowed.

Chi Ling’er quietly watched Ye Zhen, whose face was full of tears, and then slowly and seriously wiped away the tears on Ye Zhen’s face with her small hands.

"Daddy, don’t cry!"

"Mother said you have something very important to do, and when you’re done, you will come to find Chi Ling’er and be with Chi Ling’er. Daddy, is your task finished?"

Tears filled Ye Zhen’s face, his throat felt blocked with lead, he wanted to say something, but couldn’t utter a word, he could only keep nodding.

It took a long while before he could laboriously speak a few words, "Daddy’s task is finished, I’m here to be with Chi Ling’er!"

"That’s wonderful!"

Chi Ling’er, who was solemn due to Ye Zhen’s tears, began cheering again.

At this moment, Hu Qingtong, not far away, had already cried herself into a tearful mess, gently embraced by Ye Zhen.

Not far away, a drop of tear fell into the bubbling pot of soup, Zhu Hong turned his head suddenly and shouted at Sunx Ba and Xuan Hu, "The Beast Spirit Essence Soup is cooked, are you going to eat, or do you need Brother Zhu to feed you?"

"Old Zhu, you’re itching for a beating again, whose Brother Zhu are you?" Sunx Ba and Xuan Hu, with a bit of dissatisfaction, slowly got up, their long and wide ape-like arms and sleeves casually brushing against their cheeks.

"Come, let’s toast to your family’s reunion, and the father-daughter recognition!" Sunx Ba tossed out a wine jar, and the four of them clinked together before taking big gulps.

"Daddy, I want to drink too!" Chi Ling’er cuddled in Ye Zhen’s arms, acting cute.

"Alright, just one sip!" Ye Zhen looked at Chi Ling’er indulgently, while Hu Qingtong anxiously exclaimed, "She’s so young, and you’re giving her alcohol, what kind of father are you?"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen had already dipped his fingertip into some wine and smeared it on Chi Ling’er’s lips. Chi Ling’er smacked her lips a few times and suddenly began spitting wildly.

"So spicy, so spicy, so spicy!"

"Daddy, Uncle Hur, Uncle Sunx, Uncle Zhu, why do you drink something so spicy and hard to drink and yet seem so happy?" Chi Ling’er asked curiously.

Ye Zhen, Zhu Hong, Xuan Hu, and Sunx Ba exchanged glances and burst into hearty laughter. Amidst laughter, Chi Ling’er watched in utter astonishment as the four of them raised their jars and drank again.

A few moments later, the sound of wine jars shattering continuously echoed, and Zhu Hong chuckled, "Hey, if you don’t eat this Beast Spirit Essence Soup, I will!"

"Fast eater gets it all," he said, and a piece of still-bubbling milky-white soup meat shot into Zhu Hong’s mouth as he opened it wide.

"Fast eater gets it all!"

Everyone rushed toward the big black pot!
