For a while, Xu Dongyou could feel that his strength was getting stronger. At first, he thought it was due to the bond between him and Zhulong. However, as he became popular after participating in a talent show and later became the spokesperson, his strength once again saw a significant surge.
He gradually came up with a more terrifying guess.
His power seemed to be growing stronger as his fame grew, and he began to doubt whether the decision of the bureau to make him the host of the official live broadcast was not just an accident, but a deliberate one.
If the incident of the strange fish hitting the boat had not been accidentally broadcast live, perhaps there would have been other ways to make him a broadcaster.
He did not ask the director's reason, perhaps subconsciously he was more willing to believe Mr. Chen. When he arrived at the top floor, Mr. Chen still smiled and asked him to sit down, while Jiuchao made tea for Xu Dongyou.
While drinking tea, Xu Dongyou was thinking about how to explain it to Old Chen. He had asked Old Chen before the reason for his sudden increase in strength, but Old Chen did not give a direct answer.
For once, he didn't know whether Mr. Chen would behave the same way.
Perhaps because Xu Dongyou's expression was too obvious, Old Chen sighed, put down the cup, and said, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."
Xu Dongyou was stunned, and put down the cup a little embarrassedly, and whispered: "I want to ask about the growth of my strength."
Xu Dongyou told Chen Lao all his previous guesses and doubts. After he finished speaking, Chen Lao's expression seemed to be more complicated. He was silent for a long time before speaking: "About the matter, I do know part of the reason, but I can't tell you more specific details for the time being."
Xu Dongyou was disappointed, but nodded to show his understanding. "I understand. Can you tell me what I know now?"
This inexplicably growing power made him feel a little uneasy, after all, it came out of nowhere.
It was precisely because of this that Mr. Chen decided to tell Xu Dongyou some information, fearing that Xu Dongyou would avoid some forces due to concerns.
"The growth of your power is indeed related to the human race, but it is not caused by the so-called fame as you understand. In fact, it is related to something deeper. You should know that the human race has luck, and the demon race also has it. That is why the power behind the evil spirit wants to use the evil spirit to weaken the human race's luck bit by bit."
As long as the race is not weak, it will be difficult for evil spirits to flourish.
Xu Dongyou was fascinated by what he heard, and became even more confused. It sounded like it had nothing to do with him.
Because he is not from the Xi tribe, but from the demon tribe.
Old Chen sighed and said, "Then have you ever thought about why the demon race has not had any newborns in thousands of years, but you are a naturally born young."
Xu Dongyou's mind went blank instantly. Yes, why would he have a problem? This whole world clearly belonged to the demon race, and the demon race shouldn't have any newborns.
"Perhaps there is only one reason that can explain it. Your existence is special. The more you are loved by our race, the more protection from our race's luck will gather on you. But you are essentially a demon race. In this way, the demon race will gradually grow stronger because of you. But the whole world ultimately belongs to our race. The demon race cannot restore its former glory, but this is enough."
As for the deeper reasons, there is no need to lobby Xu Dong for the time being. Chen Lao continued: "Your existence is related to the future of the demon race. Perhaps it won't be long before we can see more naturally-formed demons."
Mr. Chen thought it was beautiful whenever he thought about it.
Xu Dongyou suddenly realized, and finally understood the reason for everything. The fear he had originally had about the emergence of this power also disappeared. He thought that if the power became stronger, he could better protect the people he wanted to protect, and he could also help the demon clan restore its luck. It was simply the best of both worlds.
But about evil spirits.
"Who is this evil existence? Why does it want to destroy the fortune of our clan?" Xu Dongyou asked.
Elder Chen's face became solemn and he shook his head. "I don't know anything about this, including Elder Bai. I can only say that the existence of the evil spirit is indeed very powerful. Maybe we have to wait until Master Zhulong wakes up to find out."
Xu Dongyou also nodded solemnly.
After resolving his inner doubts, Xu Dongyou stayed with Old Chen and Jiuchao for a while before leaving. However, before leaving, he went to the seal formation again to visit Zhulong.
It had not been long since he last visited Zhulong, but Xu Dongyou discovered that Zhulong seemed to have become much smarter, and the madness in his blood-red eyes seemed to be getting less and less.
He lowered his head and stared at Xu Dongyou seriously. His voice was low but still as loud as thunder. "The power in your body seems to have become stronger again."
Xu Dongyou nodded and told Zhulong about the conflict between himself and Old Chen. Even though Zhulong was not fully awake now, Xu Dongyou would still treat Zhulong as someone of equal intelligence.
Zhulong's eyes were dark, and he thought for a while before saying, "I feel a very pure power from you."
Xu Dongyou seemed to be thinking about something.
Pure power
After bidding farewell to Zhulong, Xu Dongyou headed home. While sitting in the car, he was still thinking about the confrontation with Zhulong during the sealing formation.
He inquired about what was considered pure power, and whether it had anything to do with his ability to naturally become a spirit.
Zhulong said that he was still in a semi-crazy state and many of his memories had not been recovered. He only knew that this kind of pure power had almost never been seen in the demon or animal races.
Xu Dongyou asked at the time, what about in ancient times
Zhulong was quiet for a long time, as if he was trying hard to recall something. However, the more he recalled, the madness in his eyes became more and more intense, and an uneasy aura began to emanate from his body.
Seeing this, Xu Dongyou could only interrupt Zhulong's thinking. He felt very guilty because he almost harmed Zhulong just now.
Zhulong, however, has a delicate and gentle side that is completely different from his ferocious and majestic appearance. Instead, he comforted Xu Dongyou: "This is also a good thing. At least it shows that in ancient times, there were indeed people who possessed a pure power."
Xu Dongyou was still frightened by what had just happened, and Zhulong's repeated calls did not help to calm him. He secretly warned himself not to ask questions that might easily provoke Zhulong to go crazy.
After returning home, Xu Dongyou had his meal and went to rest. His mother was chatting with the neighbor next door at that moment. Xu Dongyou became the official spokesperson, which made his mother very happy, and his father even more so.
But when I lay down in the evening, that joy turned into worry and uneasiness. As Xu Dongyou was now so popular, various news platforms and the Internet were reporting the incident. Even the old man downstairs who never went online and only watched TV knew about it.
Did Xu Dongyou’s biological parents also see it
Will they come to find Xu Dongyou? Did they really abandon Xu Dongyou back then
If so, what should I do as Xu Dongyou's adoptive mother? I can't really not let the other party meet Xu Dongyou and recognize his relatives.
But when I think about it, the parents' deliberate abandonment of their child in the middle of winter clearly intended for Xu Dongyou's death. How could they have the nerve to acknowledge their son
But what if the other party did not abandon Xu Dongyou on purpose, and there was indeed a reason back then? Maybe they have been searching for Xu Dongyou for so many years.
Mother Xu's mood became more and more complicated, and she couldn't even hold back her tears. Father Xu also sighed.
Xu Dongyou, who was lying on the bed, sighed when he heard the suppressed crying next door. He must have a good talk with his parents tomorrow.
The next day, Xu's mother got up early to buy groceries. When she came back, she handed the vegetables to Xu's father and started cooking, while he sat down to look at the computer. Then he also started to surf the Internet, searching for things about Xu Dongyou.
Looking at the comments praising Xu Dongyou, Xu's mother's mood also improved, and she began to feel happy again.
Xu Dongyou got up and washed up. After the whole family sat together and finished their meal, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom and Dad, there is something I want to tell you."
Father and Mother Xu didn't know what Xu Dongyou was going to say, but looking at Xu Dongyou's serious expression, they began to feel uneasy for some reason.
"Yes, what is it?" Xu's mother forced a smile, her heart pounding.
Could it be that something went wrong with the endorsement
Xu Dongyou said directly: "In fact, I already know that you are not my biological parents' children."
Thunder roared suddenly out of nowhere, like a huge rock hitting a calm lake, and the brains of Xu's father and mother went blank. It took them a long time to find their voices. They didn't even notice that their bodies began to tremble.
", "
What can they say.
Should they ask Xu Dongyou how he knew it? What if Xu Dongyou was just testing them? Wouldn't it be a confession for them to answer in any way
The two of them didn't say a word. They just sat there, completely clueless about what to do or say.
Xu Dongyou felt sorry for his parents. He reached out and held their cold, sweaty hands and said softly, "I've suspected this since I was very young, but when I grew up, the Bureau of Investigation helped me find out the truth."
Xu's mother looked up blankly. Perhaps the fear of losing her son made her choke up for a moment, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Father Xu's eyes were even redder.
"Don't cry, I have never thought of leaving you, and I will never leave you. You will always be my parents." Xu Dongyou looked distressed and his eyes turned red.
"Dongyou... Mom, Mom didn't hide this from you on purpose." Xu's mother tightly grasped Xu Dongyou's hand and burst into tears: "If your biological parents come to find you, Mom will definitely not stop them."
Xu Dongyou sniffed and tried hard to hold back tears. "Mom, the purpose of what I said today is to tell you that no matter what happens in the future, I will always be your child. No one can change that."
