Si Qing clutched her head and turned to run.
Qi Yu rolled up his sleeves and chased after her desperately, "Si Qing, you little bastard, stop! Don't run, come back!"
"Only a fool would go back!" Si Qing turned and fled.
Under the guise of playful bickering, the two of them pretended to have a quarrel.
They were still pushing each other as they entered the demon palace.
Jing Xiu watched all of this silently, making no sound. She followed behind like a resentful spirit.
Feng Mingxi walked to the throne and sat down, carefully arranging their accommodations.
She allowed them to settle down for the time being.
Although Chu Xian's body had recovered, he had not forgotten the memories of his previous experiences, causing him to suffer from frequent nightmares while resting in the demon palace at night.
"No, no!" Chu Xian cried out in his sleep, then suddenly sat up, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
The King and Queen of the West Sea knew he would have nightmares in the middle of the night, so they kept watch with candles. Seeing this, they quickly pulled Chu Xian into their arms.
The King of the West Sea suggested, "Chu Xian, this can't go on. You should sleep with us for now."
"If you like to sleep in your original form, we'll accompany you," the Queen of the West Sea gently stroked Chu Xian's head.
Chu Xian nodded.
Before long, he transformed into his original form, curled into a ball, and was surrounded by the King and Queen of the West Sea.
"Daddy," Chu Xian's voice was childish, "You've always thought I was stupid... If that's the case, why are you still so good to me?"
Chu Xian spoke with a heavy heart.
In his opinion, the matter of the Blood Demon Fiend, while not good, wasn't entirely bad either.
If his parents had another child, it would surely be more outstanding than him.
Thinking about it, Chu Xian felt he shouldn't have survived.
The King of the West Sea pulled him into his embrace, coiling his dragon tail around him. "Chu Xian, your father and mother have indeed been too strict with you, but we never thought of having another son besides you."
Chu Xian was stunned, his face filled with confusion. "Why? Aren't intelligent and clever individuals like Qi Yu and Si Qing better? Then, many elders of the dragon clan would feel proud, and you would also feel radiant."
After speaking, he remembered the issue of inheritance and couldn't help but sigh deeply. "A foolish dragon like me who can't even inherit..."
In fact, Jing Xiu, as the niece of the King of the West Sea, had felt immense pressure when she, who was not the heir, had awakened her inheritance.
Especially after Jin Yan took Jing Xiu as his disciple.
All the dragons of the West Sea considered him, the Crown Prince, a joke. Even if the King and Queen of the West Sea only had him as their son, so what?
Without inheritance and with weak magic, he was still nothing.
Therefore, in the West Sea, some sea creatures believed that when the King and Queen of the West Sea eventually passed on the throne, they would still pass it to Jing Xiu, who had awakened her inheritance.
Thus, in the West Sea, Chu Xian was not respected much.
"You are my only son," the King of the West Sea held Chu Xian, suddenly saying, "No matter how bad you are, no matter what others say, you are the most important."
"My dear," the King of the West Sea patted Chu Xian's shoulder, "You don't need to feel inferior, nor do you need to overthink things. Even if you have no talent at all, you are still the most special existence to me."
The Queen of the West Sea also nodded.
The three embraced each other tightly.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ling Ruo, inhabiting Jing Xiu's body, cautiously approached Si Qing. "What's wrong? Can't you sleep? Did you quarrel with Qi Yu?"
