It was already evening, the busiest ti on the street.
On both sides of the street where he stood, there were vendors everywhere calling out to sell their wares.
In the never-ending stream of people, children were playing and adults were chasing behind, scolding them.
"Being an ordinary person is quite nice too!"
Watching these scenes, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
In the eyes of these people, as long as the war doesn’t reach here, it’s naturally unrelated to them. Besides, this is the Imperial City of Great Zhou, unless Great Zhou is destroyed, it’s very safe.
As for the Demon Race, they didn’t know about it at all.
Of course, it had nothing to do with them.
"Brother, brother, co and chase !" Suddenly a little girl in floral clothes ran towards Chen Xuan, frequently looking back at a slightly older boy behind her.
"Don’t run, little sister! Be careful not to fall!"
It was obvious that this brother was quite competent, but his words seed to be jinxed.
"Thud!"
The little girl fell. "Boohoo... Brother, it hurts, it hurts a lot!"
Her tearful look made Chen Xuan’s heart ache, and he quickened his pace, ca to the little girl’s side, helped her up, and comforted her, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s okay now!"
A thread of spiritual power was infused into her body.
"Oh, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Thank you, uncle!"
The little girl instantly changed her face, smiling at Chen Xuan.
Uncle...?
Chen Xuan was dumbfounded, as he seed to be just in his 20s.
At this ti, the little boy also ran over, holding the little girl’s hand, nervously asking, "Where does it hurt, little sister, let brother check?"
"It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt anymore, this uncle is amazing! When he says it doesn’t hurt, it really doesn’t!"
The little girl said with a smile, her eyes like two little crescent moons.
"Really cute, if only Wanqiu could have a daughter!"
Chen Xuan truly liked little girls deep down, considering them like lovers from a previous life.
"Thank you, uncle!"
The little boy politely thanked and then took the little girl away.
"Mom said not to talk to strangers, did you forget?"
"If you don’t behave, I won’t take you out to play next ti!"
"Got it, brother..."
....
Am I the bad guy?
"Is there really a bad guy as handso as ?"
Chen Xuan shook his head in dismay!
...
Holding a pile of delicious food, he returned to the Chen Mansion.
In the backyard, Chen Xuan loudly shouted towards the inner rooms, "Ladies, co to eat the good stuff."
"Oh! Brother Xuan brought sothing tasty back?"
Hearing there was food, Su Yun was the most proactive, even using her spiritual power, and instantly ca to his side, looking at the food he was carrying.
"Wow, it slls so good, so good!"
"Brother Xuan is so nice!"
Saying this, she even gave Chen Xuan a peck on the cheek.
"Of course! Husband is naturally good!"
At this ti, Su Wanqiu and the other won also arrived one by one in the backyard.
"Sister, co quickly, Brother Xuan brought lots of good food!"
Su Yun excitedly beckoned to Su Wanqiu.
"Oh, you, can’t move an inch when you see food, haven’t you had enough delicacies before!" Su Wanqiu was helpless. Her younger sister was a foodie, no matter how many tis she was told differently.
"Alright, don’t say that about her!"
Chen Xuan also spoke up to defend her, "Put it on the table, let’s eat together!"
"Okay!"
The young girl quickly took it and happily walked into the backyard hall with light steps.
"You just spoil her!"
Su Wanqiu rolled her eyes at him.
Chen Xuan smiled, hugging her, his hand unknowingly resting on her belly, "Co on, let him have a taste too!"
...
Ti passed day by day, and soon another half month went by.
Only half a month was left until the Demon Race’s arrival.
This period, Chen Xuan stayed at the Chen Mansion accompanying the won, even putting cultivation aside.
Since returning from Yonghe Commandery last ti, his fra of mind had also changed.
He began enjoying the warmth brought by the small family.
As for the Demon Race matter, he temporarily put it in the back of his mind.
In the courtyard.
The elder was tending plants, while Chen Xuan stood by watching.
"Snip, snip!"
The elder’s scissors were trimming the branches, his mouth also not idle,
"You boy neither cultivate nor go over there, sothing’s not quite right!"
"They’ve stopped fighting, why go there!"
Chen Xuan smiled, slowly speaking, also pointing to a branch, "This one, cut this one, it’s not nice!"
"You don’t know a thing!"
The elder stopped, turned around, and glared at him.
"Hehe, you know, follow what you know best!"
Chen Xuan hurriedly said.
"Hmph!"
The elder snorted and continued trimming before speaking again, "I’m old now, just a Third Grade useless man, can only tend plants in retirent, can’t help you much!"
"But—"
He straightened up, looking at him, "No matter what happens, I and they stand with you!"
"You seem the sa as usual these days, but here...." The elder pointed to his heart, "It’s a ss!"
"Sigh!"
Chen Xuan sighed deeply, they say old folk are wise.
This phrase suits the elder extrely well.
He thought he hid it well, but the elder still sensed it.
Thinking about it, with only half a month until the Demon Race’s arrival, he decided to tell him, so he could be ntally prepared.
Then he explained the matter of the Demon Race in detail.
"No wonder...."
The elder looked at him, feeling distressed.
So all this ti, Brother Xuan has been under such imnse pressure.
Then he asked softly, "They don’t know, right?"
"They don’t know!"
Chen Xuan shook his head.
"That’s good, these kids are all doing well, you shouldn’t tell them. No matter the outco, let them live happily every day."
"And—"
At this point, the old man paused, looking like he wanted to speak but hesitated.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan also spoke, "Old man, just say whatever you have to say. What’s there to be cautious about between us?"
"It’s not impossible to undergo bloodline transformation, at least you would survive. Consider it! I’ve already died once, being alive now is a bonus."
He had already co back from the brink of death, so living was already a gain for him.
So he was unwilling to transform into the demon bloodline.
But Chen Xuan, and the others, they were still too young. If they were to fall to the demon clan, dying would be too pitiful.
"This matter I am...."
He hadn’t finished speaking.
Just then, a ripping sound, like sothing was forcefully torn apart, echoed above the Chen Mansion.
The two instantly looked up to the sky.
They were imdiately stunned.
At this mont above Youlan Mansion, there was a gap thousands of ters long.
Indeed!
The sky had been torn open with a rift!
At a glance, it was endless darkness.
Extrely terrifying!
"That is.... the rift between the two worlds!"
This was sothing Chen Xuan had seen countless tis, he was all too familiar with it.
"Could it be.... the demon clan.... has arrived?"
The old man suddenly looked at Chen Xuan, at this mont even realizing his voice was trembling.
"Not yet! The barrier between the two worlds hasn’t been breached!"
Chen Xuan replied in a grave voice.
At this ti, several won were also attracted by the sound and ca to Chen Xuan’s side.
When they saw the kiloter-long rift in the sky, they were shocked speechless.
"Brother Xuan...."
It was Su Yun who reacted first, calling out shakily, her eyes filled with terror.
The other won also reacted at this mont, but their expressions were almost the sa as Su Yun’s.
"Don’t be afraid! I’m here! It’s okay!"
Chen Xuan imdiately spoke to reassure them.
At this mont, the entire Youlan Mansion, whether ordinary people or martial artists, were all looking at this rift.
"Heavens protect us, heavens protect us!"
"Heaven is about to rage!"
"Run away...."
....
In an instant, the entire Youlan Mansion fell into chaos.
Amazing sights of kneeling and kowtowing, running, crying.....
All sorts of things were happening!
"Everyone imdiately return ho and do not co out!"
"Divine Capture Bureau heeds the order, anyone who dares to remain on the streets, arrest them directly!"
Feng Zheng appeared in mid-air, angrily shouting.
Soon the Divine Capture Bureau of the four districts was mobilized, and order in the four streets gradually restored.
"Huff—"
At this mont, Feng Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking up at the ominous rift like a giant mouth that would swallow him whole.
Even though he was of the Third Grade, his heart was trembling.
"Relax, for now, there’s no danger!"
At this ti, Chen Xuan appeared beside him.
"This is....?"
Seeing him, Feng Zheng seed to see a savior, his trembling heart calming slightly.
"A spatial rift!"
Then he reminded him, "You need to maintain order in the city during this ti, it will probably get worse later!"
"Should we notify Lord Mansion Master!"
This was beyond his ability, Ye Yilan had entrusted the City Lord’s Mansion to him, if sothing went wrong, he wouldn’t be able to explain it.
"Sigh!"
Chen Xuan sighed, shaking his head, "No need!"
Feng Zheng saw him and still wanted to say sothing, but was directly interrupted by him, "Just listen to !"
The tone left no room for doubt.
"Alright!"
Feng Zheng nodded, "I’ll go gather all the people of Youlan Mansion then!"
"Hmm!"
...
The Nine Provinces fell into chaos!
Rifts appeared in various places across the Nine Provinces.
Even with the heavy pressure from Great Xia and Great Zhou, it was hard to keep it under control.
Especially with so opportunists taking advantage, things got even more chaotic.
In the end, there was no choice, any suspicious figure was to be executed imdiately, regardless of who they were, whatever their status.
As days passed, the rifts in the sky also grew larger.
But even so, almost all the forces of Great Zhou and Great Xia were gathered in Guhe Commandery and Donghuang Commandery.
And at this ti,
Chen Xuan also brought everyone from Chen Mansion using divine footwork to Guhe Commandery’s Ink Moon Inn.
The sudden appearance of so many people in the room scared Ye Yilan.
"Daddy!"
Ye Jincen rushed into Ye Yilan’s arms, despite being a Tier Two Spirit Cultivator, her face was still pale.
"It’s alright, it’s alright!"
He comforted gently.
"The demon clan is about to descend, if you’re together, it’s more convenient for !"
Chen Xuan said.
"Hmm!" Xuan Er nodded slightly, then asked, "How much longer?"
"At most three days!"
