"Being good to someone doesn't need a reason!" Yu Fei said with a smile, but her heart felt heavy!
If it weren't for Chen Nan having that song "Only Mother Is Good in the World" circulated, she wouldn't have compensated for the scar Chen Nan had left in Chen Jin's heart in this way!
Of course!
She was inherently a kind-hearted woman!
Besides, although Chen Jin was mischievous, he was still quite likable!
Looking at the smile on Yu Fei's face, Chen Jin's heart felt warm. His eyes were determined, "Thank you, Madam, don't worry. When I grow up, if Master bullies you, I'll get revenge for you!"
Yu Fei's face flushed, "My Master and I are not that kind of relationship!"
"Alright, I'll go and get you a bowl of spirit duck noodle soup. I guarantee you'll love the taste!"
Chen Jin said, "No!"
"What, aren't you hungry?" Yu Fei was puzzled, never expecting this little fellow to be so stubborn!
Chen Jin chuckled and scratched the back of his head, "One bowl isn't enough, please serve two!"
------
From afar!
Chen Nan held a blade of grass in his mouth, a smile like that of an aunt spreading across his face!
You can't be too serious with children!
He just needed to establish the persona of a strict teacher!
The rest was up to Yu Fei!
Although he had never been a father, his parents at home had clear divisions of labor: his father was strict, and his mother was gentle and caring!
Generally speaking, children raised in such families would not have poor character!
Thus!
Chen Jin integrated into this big family!
Unlike the other eleven children!
He was a resident student!
He lived with Yu Fei at night, and in his heart, he regarded Yu Fei as his mother!
Of course, he didn't disappoint Chen Nan. Although this guy was mischievous, his memory was excellent. He could learn the children's enlightenment books from Earth after Chen Nan taught him twice!
Compared to others, his memory was much stronger!
Besides the "Three Hundred Thousand," Chen Nan also taught them other enlightenment books!
Taught them to write!
For the demon race, they didn't have to take imperial examinations, so learning to write was redundant!
But Chen Nan knew that practicing calligraphy could calm the mind!
This was beneficial for cultivation!
Of course, the most important thing was to teach them what they should and should not do!
Three months passed in the blink of an eye!
Chen Nan's cultivation had also advanced to the third level of the Mahayana stage!
Under the setting sun!
He looked at the twelve young yet spirited faces and said, "I'm honored to have taught you for three months. You have all made significant progress during this time!"
"How about this, I'll give you a day off tomorrow, rest for a day!"
"The day after tomorrow, we will hold an examination!"
"If your grades are good, I can ask the King to take you out alone to hunt demon beasts!"
As soon as he said this!
The twelve children were very excited!
Although many of them had thought about going out to hunt demon beasts!
But because they possessed the bloodline of divine birds, their parents were reluctant to let them go out alone!
Yin Luan asked excitedly, "Sir, can we really go out alone to hunt demon beasts?"
For them, if they could hunt demon beasts alone, it would mean their wings had hardened!
They would no longer need to live under their parents' protection!
"Naturally! The prerequisite is that you get a good grade on the exam!" Chen Nan said with a smile. He had also grasped the basics of his Great Roc technique, and his speed was extraordinarily fast!
Coupled with his terrifying ultimate weapon, 'Conquering with Virtue,' he could even contend with Heavenly Immortal-level demon beasts!
Thus!
The eleven children joyfully flew onto the divine tree!
"Tomorrow is a day off, why aren't you going back?" Chen Nan looked at Chen Jin!
"It's not fun at home!" Chen Jin said indifferently!
Hei Yan was always cultivating!
Even if he went back, he wouldn't pay attention to him!
So, compared to going home, he preferred staying here!
He preferred being with Yu Fei!
Although he was afraid of Chen Nan, it was only fear!
He didn't have much respect for him!
The next morning!
Chen Nan began to prepare the ingredients!
There was meat, and there was fish!
There were also some mushrooms from the mountains!
The four words "eat well" left by Wu Shan were deeply ingrained in his bones!
He busied himself until evening, preparing eight dishes!
Then he asked Chen Jin to go to the divine tree and call Yan Guang, Tu An, and Hei Yan to come for a meal!
He had no friends in this world, and it felt rather uninteresting!
If he had to say friends, Yan Guang and Tu An could be considered as such!
But if it were truly close friends...
He should consider the guys from Nirvana Mountain!
He missed bear paws, monkey brains, and tiger penises a bit...
------
"Brother Chen's culinary skills are truly exquisite!" Seeing the sumptuous dishes on the bamboo table, Yan Guang laughed heartily. Eating was optional for a powerful expert like him!
But he was happy to taste Chen Nan's cooking!
A great being with merit power!
An unparalleled mighty figure with the potential to become a saint!
He must curry favor with him in advance!
After a few rounds of drinks, Chen Nan went straight to the point, "Brother Yan, I told those twelve children that we will have an exam tomorrow, and if their grades are satisfactory, I will take them out to hunt demon beasts. What do you think of this?"
Yan Guang nodded slightly, "That's good. They've been able to transform into human form for some time now, and it's time for them to go out and gain some experience!"
Perhaps it was a preconceived notion, knowing that Chen Nan possessed merit power!
Yan Guang almost obeyed Chen Nan unconditionally!
Chen Nan looked at Hei Yan, "Senior Hei Yan—"
"I'm a few years older than you, call me Big Brother, Senior is too formal!" Hei Yan was eating with his mouth full of oil, without even lifting his head!
To be blunt, he had been staring at the delicacies since he arrived!
So much so that he hadn't even looked at his son!
Of course, Chen Jin didn't pay attention to him either!
"Okay, Big Brother Hei Yan, I was thinking of asking you to break the seal within Chen Jin's body!" Going out to gain experience would inevitably involve some danger. If the seal within Chen Jin's body wasn't broken, he wouldn't be able to exert his full strength!
If that were the case, what would be the point of the trial!
*Smack!*
Hei Yan sent Chen Jin flying with a slap!
Then he chuckled foolishly, "Alright, the seal is broken!"
Chen Nan's mouth twitched!
You're lucky you weren't born on Earth as an ordinary person!
If you treated your son like this on Earth, when you got old, he would definitely pull the plug first...
Yan Guang asked, "Where do you plan to take them for training?"
Chen Nan: "To the west!"
Hei Yan looked up, his expression slightly solemn, "The west is the territory of the Heavenly Demon Den, and the bird race has always had a bad relationship with them. Going there carries significant risk!"
Chen Nan: "Brother Yan, have there been any updates from the Heavenly Demon Den?"
Yan Guang smiled, "It's only been three months. It might feel long to you, but for cultivators, these three months are very short!"
As soon as he finished speaking!
A brightly colored hummingbird cut through the night sky and landed on Yan Guang's shoulder!
It chirped in a language only Yan Guang could understand!
Yan Guang's eyes lit up after listening, and he said in a low voice, "Fan Qian has made a big move. He took advantage of the Spider Emperor's seclusion to launch a fierce offensive against his other seven brothers. Now, his seven brothers have fled the Heavenly Demon Den, and the situation in the entire Heavenly Demon Den is unpredictable and turbulent!"
Chen Nan revealed a meaningful smile, "If that's the case, then we should go to the Heavenly Demon Den for training even more!"
Hei Yan slowed down his swallowing and asked in confusion, "Why would we go where the tiger is when we know there's a tiger in the mountain?"
