Sunset is the devil's hour.
Sui was lying lazily on the balcony, wrapped in a blanket. On both sides of the wide-open French windows, the curtains were blown up and down by the wind.
She was waiting for the demon wolf to get off work.
On the edge of the city, buildings of varying heights were shrouded in an eerie red sunset glow. In a deep alley, a dark shadow rushed past, accompanied by the sound of a fierce wind and strange laughter.
Several figures were chasing it with all their might, but the gap was getting bigger and bigger. The black shadow was smiling more and more smugly, and the dim street lights revealed his pale fangs.
The people at the back were angry and powerless. They saw that the alley had come to an end and there was a busy road ahead. If the monster blended into the crowd, it would be even more difficult to catch it.
Apparently the monster knew this, too. The night scene of the city with the lights just coming on was right before its eyes. Its already frighteningly large mouth opened even wider to the sides, with turbid saliva oozing from between its teeth, as if it had already smelled the fragrance of fresh life.
"Bang-"
With a loud bang, the monster, which was so complacent a second ago, suddenly crashed into an invisible wall and fell down with a scream just one step away from the entrance of the alley. It seemed that it couldn't believe it, and it roared and screamed while trying to get up.
A pair of shoes appeared in the field of vision. At the same time, a leaf swayed and fell from the ginkgo tree in the yard of a house beside the alley. It happened to fall on the back of the monster, as if it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, instantly suppressing all its struggles.
The others behind them had just caught up. The leader, Zhuang Xing, looked at the monster with lingering fear and said respectfully, "Senior, it's a relief that you helped us, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
The senior he mentioned just nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the busy street, disappearing in the hustle and bustle of traffic in a few moments.
"Huh..." After he left, the remaining few people breathed a sigh of relief and quickly subdued the immobilized monster.
A newcomer couldn't help being curious and approached Zhuang Xing, "Brother Zhuang, who exactly is this Senior Su? It seems like everyone is talking about him recently."
Zhuang Xing rolled his eyes at him. "You have the energy to ask questions now, but why didn't you run faster just now? If you let this guy get away, no one will be able to bear the consequences when you return."
The newcomer lowered his head and helped obediently.
Zhuang Xing picked up the leaf, twisted the petiole and turned it back and forth. No matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary leaf.
One team member sighed as he worked: "Since Senior Su came, our special field team is almost becoming a special logistics team."
"Isn't that bad? Go back and see how much the casualty rate has dropped in the past few months?"
The original man scratched his head and said, "It's good..." It's just that my skills are not as good as others. I am so far behind in strength that I feel ashamed.
On the other side of the city, Su Yi was drowsy when a big hand suddenly fell on her lower abdomen, stroking it occasionally.
"Are you back?" She didn't open her eyes, but covered her mouth and yawned. The next moment, she was picked up and brought into the house.
They are now in the real world, not the fictional fantasy in the samsara mirror.
At the beginning, after Sui and the Demon Wolf broke away from the Samsara Mirror, they continued to work together to dominate the demon world, fighting challengers who came to their doorstep, grabbing other people's territories, and occasionally going to the fictional small world to change their lives.
After an unknown amount of time passed, Su Yi finally felt that life was too boring and wanted to make some changes.
For example, having a child.
Of course the Demon Wolf would have no objection, he would always attack wherever Su Yi pointed.
However, giving birth to a baby is not as easy as it sounds. Let's not talk about the two of them, one is half human and half demon, the other is half demon and half monster, whether they have reproductive isolation or whether they can give birth to children. Even if they are pure races, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to have offspring. This is true for humans, gods, and demons are no exception.
Given the strength of Sui and the Demon Wolf, they are able to dominate the demon world, so one can imagine how difficult it is for them to have a child.
Fortunately, Su Yi doesn't have any obsession with this. If she can give birth, that would be the best. If she can't, then it's fine. She just lets fate take its course.
She went with the flow like this for hundreds of years, and one day, she suddenly felt a strange rhythm coming from her lower abdomen, cautious, timid, and vivid.
That's her child.
For a moment, Sui thought of her mother.
That ordinary and weak human woman was deceived by the monster, became pregnant before marriage, was not accepted by her family, and suffered bullying, but she still struggled to give birth to her, worked hard to raise her, and finally, lost her life to protect her.
She died too early, and Su Yi was too weak at that time, so no matter how hard she tries to recall it now, she can't remember her appearance. The only thing is that warm embrace with a faint scent of soapberry, which accompanied her through countless dark moments in her memory, and she still can't forget it.
After comparing the situations in the demon world, the monster world, and the human world, Sui decided to let the child be born in her mother's hometown. As it turned out, her choice was right.
In the past, the human world was full of spiritual energy, and was filled with talented people and geniuses. The cultivators were intolerant of any grain of sand in their eyes and regarded all demons and monsters as aliens. They would capture demons to make elixirs and use monsters to sacrifice to the gods at any time. Even those humans without spiritual roots were as humble as ants in their eyes.
However, in just a few thousand years, the world has changed dramatically, the stars have shifted, the spiritual energy in the human world has become increasingly thin, powerful people have fallen, and talented people have dwindled. The former "ants" have stood up and achieved extraordinary achievements relying on technology. The only remaining human cultivators have restrained their edge and hidden themselves from the world, so that most ordinary people don't even know the existence of cultivators.
This is a world where mortals, cultivators, demons and monsters coexist. Due to the pressure of heaven, non-humans dare not act recklessly, and humans do not have enough strength to eliminate aliens. After a stalemate, the parties jointly established the "Cultivator World and Non-Human Affairs Management Office" and formulated many rules to restrain them, resulting in the current relatively balanced situation.
At that time, Sui Yi and the Demon Wolf had just arrived in the human world when relevant personnel came to contact them. Because the two of them came from unknown sources, were uninvited to the enemy, and had unfathomable strength, the management office felt like they were facing a great enemy.
There happened to be a monster at that time, which fled after injuring several people. The special service team of the management office tracked it several times, but it escaped each time. Sui let the magic wolf show off its skills and capture the monster, which not only demonstrated its strength but also expressed its goodwill.
As a result, the two were upgraded from black households to red households, and because of his powerful cultivation, the Demon Wolf was specially invited by the management office as an external employee to help arrest evil demons and monsters, commonly known as contract workers.
It was Su Yi who suggested this idea to him. She felt that at least one of them had to go out and find something to do. They couldn't tell the child that both his parents were unemployed after he was born. Although they didn't have to worry about not being able to raise the child, what if they were not a good role model and the child was raised in the wrong way
Contract workers are very good. Unlike regular employees who have to work in the office and are subject to restrictions in many ways. The management office is a government department after all, so if you say it to others, you are a half-civil servant, which is very respectable.
So, the magic wolf went out to support his family and earn money for milk powder, while she stayed at home peacefully to take care of her pregnancy. As for Mao Tuan Tuan, after staying with her for so long, he finally met the opportunity and went into seclusion to become a spirit.
Whether it is human or non-human, conceiving a new life is not an easy task. Since she became pregnant, Su Yi has become lazy and listless. She spends most of the day sleeping. Every day when the magic wolf comes back, he has to carry her back to the room from the balcony, the sofa, or in front of the TV.
Returning to the room, he still did not put her down. He let Su Yi sit in his arms, with one hand covering her lower abdomen, transmitting a steady stream of magic power to her.
The fetus in the womb, in addition to absorbing nutrients from the mother, also needs the parents to expend their energy to nurture it. Even though Su Yi is very powerful and this loss is nothing, the magic wolf still transfers magic power into her body every day just to reduce her burden.
With his care, Su Yi felt warm and comfortable all over. She uttered two satisfied nasal sounds and finally opened her eyes.
The demon wolf's chin rested against her forehead and rubbed it gently. Su Yi leaned back slightly and slowly bit his chin.
The movement of the palm paused, the demon wolf lowered his eyes to look at her, and Su Yi also raised her eyes, with a hint of provocation and cunning in her eyes. Her fair face had a healthy blush, and her red lips were moist, like the most delicate flower.
The baby in her belly not only made her lazier day by day, but also changed her temperament a bit, and she was more willing to stick to him than before. And no matter what she looked like, the demon wolf liked her.
It was already completely dark, and the night wind was even colder. If it got any colder, perhaps within a few days, we would see the first snow of this winter. But at this moment, the temperature in the room seemed to have become several degrees warmer because of the warmth and tenderness between the two.
