"What if, I mean, what if they're the same snake?" Shen Yao said.
She really didn't know how to explain Mo Xuan's origin.
"Actually, I already knew that little black snake in the cultivation world. I just don't know why he came to this world, and the reason he appeared here should be because he sensed my aura, so he came to find me."
Shen Yao briefly introduced Mo Xuan's origin, but did not reveal that Mo Xuan was the Demon Lord. Anyway, when he came here, he was just a little black snake.
"So that's how it is. No wonder snakes are so smart and can understand human language," Shen Jun said, nodding.
"He ran off with Shen Juan and the others just now, will he come back?" Song Qiuwan asked, having a slight good impression of the big snake that helped them scare away Shen Juan and Chen Jiabao.
Of course, it was only a slight impression, nothing more.
"He'll come back on his own..."
Before Shen Yao could finish speaking, she heard a knock on the door.
Song Qiuwan stood up and went to open the door. It was almost evening, who else would knock?
As soon as Song Qiuwan opened the door, she saw a handsome man in black, dressed in ancient costume, standing at their doorstep.
"Who are you looking for?" Song Qiuwan asked.
Young people these days are really fashionable. When they were young, they could only use bedsheets as ancient costumes.
"Grandma, I'm looking for my mother," the man said.
However, Song Qiuwan felt that she understood every word he said, but when they were put together, she couldn't figure it out.
"No, young man, did you find the wrong place? There's no grandma or mother here, uh, mom." Song Qiuwan said.
"I haven't found the wrong place. You are my grandma. Can you call my mother out? She'll know who I am when she sees me."
"I'm your grandma? But I don't know you either! Are you lost? Do you want me to help you call the police?" Song Qiuwan looked at the man with a hint of pity in her eyes.
What a pitiful thing, to be so handsome yet mentally impaired. His family must be worried sick if they knew he was missing.
Father Shen saw that Song Qiuwan hadn't returned for a long time and came out to see if something had happened.
As soon as he came out, he saw a handsome young man dressed strangely, talking incessantly to his wife.
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
"Grandpa, I'm looking for my mother." The man flashed a smile, making him look even more handsome.
Shen Jun looked at the man in black suspiciously. Calling him grandpa? He only had one daughter, where did such a big grandson come from? Wait, that's not right.
"You said you're looking for your mother? Who is your mother? What's her name?"
The man smiled and then said something that shocked Shen Jun and Song Qiuwan, "My mother's name is Shen Yao."
A bolt of lightning struck Shen Jun and Song Qiuwan's minds. They were stunned, and by the time they came to their senses, they had already brought the man into the house.
"Eldest Uncle, Aunt, Little Uncle."
Mo Xuan greeted them and, ignoring everyone's shocked expressions, threw himself onto Shen Yao.
"Mom!"
Then, Shen Yao slapped Mo Xuan, sending him to the ground, where he lay sprawled.
Yes, the man in front of them was Mo Xuan, the little black snake.
Mo Xuan got up from the ground and looked at Shen Yao pitifully, his eyes filling with tears, about to fall.
"Mom, I've been searching for you so hard. I've been traveling day and night for over a month, and I finally found you, but you don't want Mo Xuan anymore?"
After saying that, Mo Xuan's tears finally couldn't hold back and fell, crying in a way that made onlookers weep and those who saw him feel sorrowful.
Seeing how heartbroken Mo Xuan was crying, Song Qiuwan couldn't bear it and helped him up, making him sit on a stool.
"Yao Yao, I think we need an explanation," Shen Jun said, and all eyes turned to Shen Yao.
At this moment, Shen Yao felt as if she had eaten a dog. She looked at Mo Xuan with a complex expression.
Didn't this thing turn into a snake? How could he turn into a human without spiritual power!
"Mom~~"
Mo Xuan's tone was extremely pitiful, but Shen Yao couldn't help but shiver upon hearing it. "Mo Xuan, be normal for me!"
Shen Yao couldn't stand Mo Xuan acting like this, crying at the drop of a hat. You are a dignified Demon Lord, tall and strong, can't you be normal!
Show some of your Demon Lord's might!
Then, under the gaze of one, two, three, four, five pairs of curious eyes, she explained her relationship with Mo Xuan.
Hearing her daughter say that Mo Xuan was a child she picked up and raised in the cultivation world, they suddenly understood. So this was indeed their grandson/nephew?!
After understanding Mo Xuan and Shen Yao's relationship and learning about the hardships Mo Xuan endured to find Shen Yao, they had already decided to accept this grandson/nephew who appeared out of nowhere.
When they heard that he had traversed mountains and forests for over a month to find Shen Yao, they felt even more heartbroken.
Then, despite Shen Yao's objections, they let him stay at home.
Shen Yao twitched her mouth, hehe, hope you'll still feel this sympathetic towards him tomorrow!
"Mo Xuan, come here."
Shen Yao beckoned, and Mo Xuan, like a puppy, trotted over happily.
Shen Yao reached out and hit him hard on the head. "Come upstairs with me, I have something to ask you."
After speaking, she said to the Shen family, "Dad, Mom, I'll take him up, I have something I want to ask him."
The Shen family nodded, indicating that it was fine and to call them if anything happened.
Shen Yao brought Mo Xuan back to the room and set up a barrier.
"Clang, bang, ding ling dang..."
After a series of loud noises, Shen Yao finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling more comfortable.
Mo Xuan was now lying on the ground like a puddle of mud. His originally handsome face was bruised and swollen, and his whole body was in so much pain that he couldn't move.
"Mom, so many years have passed, why do you still like hitting me so much!" Mo Xuan got up, his tone full of resentment.
"If you don't speak to me properly next time, I'll beat you to death!" Shen Yao said.
Mo Xuan pouted and remained silent.
"Come here!" Shen Yao called Mo Xuan over again.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan quickly retreated several steps. "Are you still going to hit me?"
Shen Yao rolled her eyes at him. "This is not the cultivation continent. The spiritual energy here is thin, and injuries won't heal so quickly. Come here, I'll heal you."
Mo Xuan listened and indeed, it was like that. He then slowly walked to Shen Yao's side.
His eyes were fixed on Shen Yao. If he noticed anything amiss, he would immediately run away. The beating hurt too much.
Shen Yao glanced at him and then used her spiritual power to heal him. "Tell me, how did you get here."
