Dad... Dad?

Everyone was stunned in that instant.

Especially Chen Xiao, because the black-skinned man's words were clearly directed at him.

"Hey, kid, you can eat anything, but you can't just call anyone 'dad.' We've never met. How could I be your father?"

Although this black-skinned man looked about the same age as Chen Xiao, since he was being so polite as to call Chen Xiao 'dad,' the term 'kid' didn't seem out of place.

But the black-skinned man's next sentence made Chen Xiao realize: so it was him!

"Dad, it's me, Xiao Hei! Don't you recognize me?"

Xiao Hei said anxiously.

"Xiao Hei? Are you really Xiao Hei?"

Chen Xiao couldn't believe his eyes. "We haven't seen each other for a few months. How did you grow so big?"

Xiao Hei was the spirit fox raised by Li Qin, with black fur all over its body, hence the name Xiao Hei (Little Black).

Speaking of which, Xiao Hei was able to transform thanks to Chen Xiao.

It was Chen Xiao's Transformation Pill that allowed Xiao Hei to transform into human form.

And Xiao Hei therefore called Chen Xiao "Dad"... and Li Qin "Mom."

Although it was a bit of a mismatched pairing, it had to be said that the title made some sense.

"Dad, I really am Xiao Hei. I'm a demon beast, not a human, so my growth rate is definitely much faster than that of humans!"

Xiao Hei explained bitterly.

Xiao Hei wasn't an ordinary demon beast; he was a spirit fox.

Back then, when he had just transformed, he had the strength equivalent to the Golden Core stage.

It was just that at that time, his spiritual intelligence hadn't been developed, so he didn't know how to use his strength.

But now he obviously possessed spiritual intelligence, and it wasn't low, as he even knew how to recognize his "dad."

So it was reasonable for him to break through to the Yuanying stage in such a short period of time.

"It really is you, Xiao Hei. Where have you and your mom been all this time?"

After recognizing Xiao Hei, Chen Xiao was a little excited.

This excitement wasn't just because of meeting an old friend.

The main thing was that he had only let Xiao Hei transform on a whim.

In the blink of an eye, that naked little baby had grown into such a handsome and dashing young man, and Chen Xiao felt gratified and proud.

Huh? This situation wasn't quite right. This feeling was like the feeling a father would have when he saw his son grow up.

Watching Chen Xiao and Xiao Hei recognize each other, the demon cultivators such as Hong Guan went from initial surprise to shock, and finally to anger!

"Good, you little brat! You said we were on the same boat? Now you're exposed!"

Ju Jiao stared at Xiao Hei fiercely and said coldly.

"Hehe, you finally realized it? That's right, I deliberately chose to cause trouble in Jiang City because my dad is in Jiang City. And the reason why I set the location of the trouble at the Lanxing Steel Factory is because I know my dad works at Jiang City Hospital, and Jiang City Hospital is less than two kilometers away from Lanxing Steel Factory."

"And when those poisoned workers are sent to the hospital, my dad will definitely notice something is wrong and rush over as soon as possible!"

Xiao Hei said very proudly, looking like he had everything planned out.

Chen Xiao broke out in a cold sweat for him. Good kid, it must be fate that the two of us are related.

The probability of your plan succeeding is only about one percent, and you actually pulled it off!

Chen Xiao didn't remember how long it had been since he came to the hospital to work. If Chu Luo hadn't happened to go back to get medicine today, and Chen Xiao hadn't happened to be consulting Chu Qingsong about a problem, then Xiao Hei's plan would have definitely failed.

But one coincidence is a coincidence, and several coincidences connected together are a matter of fate.

Fate decreed that today, Chen Xiao and Xiao Hei, this father and son pair, would have another chance to meet!

Fate fulfilled Chen Xiao and Xiao Hei, but it made Ju Jiao and Hong Guan angry.

"Hei Pi, you are worse than a beast! How can you have the nerve to say such a thing? The Demon Lord treated you so well, and I said that you are full of rebellious bones. Those who are not of our race must have different hearts, but unfortunately the Demon Lord didn't listen to me!"

Hong Guan beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling more annoyed than angry.

And Ju Jiao was more direct: "Old Hong, why are you talking so much nonsense with him? Watch me smash this kid's head with one punch and make him regret transforming into a human!"

Before he finished speaking, Ju Jiao raised his huge fist and smashed it towards Hei Pi's head.

His fist was already much bigger than that of ordinary people, and with the blessing of his aura, it suddenly increased several times in size.

It was no exaggeration to say that the shadow it cast covered Hei Pi's entire body.

"Damn it, you bastard, dare to hit my son?"

How could Chen Xiao allow Xiao Hei to be hit? He grabbed Ju Jiao's head and punched him twice.

Ju Jiao's head was smashed and bleeding, and he didn't know if he had lost his power or what, but two curved, huge horns grew out of his head.

"So you're a water buffalo spirit!"

Chen Xiao sneered, grabbed the two horns, and snapped them off.

"Ah—Moo—"

Ju Jiao screamed in pain, letting out a cow's cry.

Under Chen Xiao's forceful snap, his horns were pulled out by the roots.

"You still want to smash my son's head? Watch me explode your bull head!"

Chen Xiao said with a playful look, and punched down!

Bang—

Ju Jiao's head exploded like a ripe watermelon!

Blood and brains splattered everywhere!

This scene frightened Hong Guan. He immediately realized that he was no match for Chen Xiao, and instantly flashed to the window and crashed into it head-on.

Whirr—

The window shattered, broken glass was scattered all over the floor, and Hong Guan jumped straight down from the tenth floor.

After he jumped down from the building, he waved his arms desperately. After a while, his arms turned into a pair of chicken wings with earthy yellow feathers!

These chicken wings didn't allow him to fly, but with constant flapping, they allowed him to glide, and he finally landed safely.

Hong Guan breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, he had saved his life.

The thought had just occurred to him when he suddenly felt a strange force coming from all around him.

Then, before he could carefully savor what the strange force was, his entire body...or rather, the entire chicken, was crushed into dust.

Chen Xiao's divine sense power was not to be trifled with.

"Why aren't you running?"

Chen Xiao asked faintly, looking at the big centipede who was already frightened.

"I, can I run?"

The big centipede trembled and his body was constantly shaking.

"No!"

Chen Xiao shook his head. The next moment, the big centipede's body turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Xiao Hei stared blankly at the scene in front of him and said in disbelief: "Dad, your strength has become much stronger again!"

"It's okay... so-so."

Chen Xiao said modestly, but this 'modesty' sounded a bit perfunctory.

And in the next second, he heard Xiao Hei say excitedly: "That's great, Dad, you are so strong, my mom is finally saved this time!"
