Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Being a Teacher

A moment later, Shangguan Yulan walked out with Ye Chen and climbed onto the White Wolf’s back.

Then, she prepared to head toward the manor.

Along the way, many Mutants who saw the scene were stunned.

Good lord.

The Eighth King General!

And she was with Ye Yunyi’s child!

However, they weren’t too surprised.

The Eighth King General was Lord Ye’s woman, after all. You could say she was the child’s stepmother.

What was so remarkable about a stepmother taking care of a child?

Shangguan Yulan, for her part, had initially felt a bit embarrassed.

But then she saw the looks in everyone’s eyes.

In an instant, Shangguan Yulan understood what they were all thinking.

It was then she remembered her original plan: to return to the barrier and demand an explanation.

She’d wanted to ask Ye Yunyi just how he had started and spread those rumors about them.

But then the incident with the Fire Flood Dragon happened.

And on top of that, Ye Yunyi had fallen into the lava.

So, she had completely forgotten about the matter.

’Good grief.’

’I forgot something so important.’

In that moment, Shangguan Yulan decided she would demand an explanation from that guy later.

She tried to come up with the right words, but after thinking for a long time, nothing seemed fitting.

Then, Shangguan Yulan looked at Ye Chen in her arms.

’Oh, forget it.’

’After all, I have other business with Ye Yunyi this time.’

「A while later, at the manor.」

Zhou Huaiwei was in her room, and Ye Yunyi was feeding her soup made from Exotic Beast Meat.

"How is it? Does it taste good?"

Ye Yunyi stood beside her, his gaze fixed on Zhou Huaiwei, whose face was filled with emotion.

She looked at Ye Yunyi, her eyes shimmering, but her expression soon filled with worry. "Honey, Little Heizi is out running around with Ye Chen. Do you think they’ll be in any danger?"

’Danger?’ Ye Yunyi mused.

He then shook his head. That Little Heizi was a mischievous one, but with the White Wolf nearby, there was surely no problem.

Still, they had been gone for a long time.

Ye Yunyi figured the White Wolf had probably taken them to the Eighth King General, Shangguan Yulan.

Ye Chen should be with Shangguan Yulan now.

In that case, there was even less to worry about. If they didn’t return soon, he would just go over to Shangguan Yulan’s place to check and bring the child back.

But just then, Vira came over.

"Honey, the Eighth King General is here, and she brought Ye Chen with her."

Hearing this, Ye Yunyi smiled. See? His guess hadn’t been wrong.

"You get some rest."

Ye Yunyi said before walking out.

He then looked outside.

Shangguan Yulan was dismounting from the White Wolf, still holding Ye Chen in her arms with a doting expression on her face.

At that moment, Shangguan Yulan looked at the other women in the manor. The corner of her mouth twitched as she saw their large, pregnant bellies, all of them frantically absorbing Energy from the outside world.

’Good lord.’

’In the future...’

’The most powerful force among all these barriers will probably be the Ye Family.’

’Once these little ones are born, they’ll probably all be Innate Mutants.’

’Reaching the King General Level in the future should be a certainty for them.’

’When that time comes...’

’Ye Yunyi’s power might exceed even her imagination.’

"Come on, let’s go to the reception hall."

Ye Yunyi gestured to Shangguan Yulan, then glanced at Yu Yan.

Yu Yan took the hint and went to prepare some tea.

Once they reached the reception hall, Shangguan Yulan put Ye Chen down on the floor.

Ye Chen immediately ran toward Ye Yunyi.

He then threw himself into Ye Yunyi’s arms.

"You little rascal, how did you end up over at the Eighth King General’s place?"

Ye Yunyi asked. Hearing his father’s question, Ye Chen’s eyes darted around, but since he couldn’t speak yet, he didn’t answer.

He could only babble.

Of course, Ye Yunyi couldn’t understand a word of it.

He then looked at Shangguan Yulan.

At that moment, Shangguan Yulan had a stomachful of things she wanted to say to Ye Yunyi.

But she didn’t know where to begin.

"Your son is an Innate Mutant, did you know that? And an Innate Golden Level one at that!"

As Shangguan Yulan spoke, Ye Yunyi waved his hand dismissively. "Don’t make a big deal out of it. You’re being so ignorant."

Shangguan Yulan: "..." ’What the hell? I’m ignorant?!’

’It’s true this is my first time seeing an Innate Mutant, but have *you* ever seen one before?!’

’Give you an inch and you take a mile!’

’Honestly!’

Fuming, Shangguan Yulan said fiercely, "Your son made a complete mess of my office. Let’s see how you’re going to compensate me for it."

"You’re not going to hold a grudge against a child, are you? He’s a two-day-old baby. What does he know?"

HUFF!

Those words made Shangguan Yulan’s eyes go wide. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing!

’Good lord!’

’What are you even saying?!’

’You’re shameless!’

’I have never met such a thick-skinned, shameless person!’

’Hitting me with a guilt trip right off the bat!’

’And so casually, too!’

In that instant, Shangguan Yulan looked at Ye Chen and felt increasingly certain that if this little guy was raised by Ye Yunyi, he would grow up to be a veritable demon king!

’Look no further than his unreliable father!’

Then, as if surrendering, Shangguan Yulan waved her hand and moved on from the topic. "I didn’t come here to argue about other things. I want to discuss something with you. I want to become this child’s teacher and guide him."

"After all, an Innate Golden-Level Mutant has a limitless future."

"I just don’t want him to..."

Shangguan Yulan trailed off, her face turning awkward. She had almost blurted out what she was really thinking.

"Don’t want him to what?" Ye Yunyi asked, hearing her stop mid-sentence.

The Eighth King General didn’t answer, and Ye Yunyi thought about what she had just said.

’Her becoming Ye Chen’s teacher could actually work.’

’Besides, she definitely has a lot of resources.’

’Use someone else’s to save my own.’

Ye Yunyi looked at Shangguan Yulan with a smile. "Alright, but you have to teach him well."

"My son, Ye Yunyi’s son, is such a promising sapling. I can’t have him ruined under your tutelage."

"And don’t be stingy with whatever treasures you have. Just use them all on my son. It’s not like you can keep them to have kids of your own, anyway."

’You!’

Hearing Ye Yunyi’s words, Shangguan Yulan thought, ’Good heavens, the gears in your head are really turning, aren’t they!’

’Unbelievable!’

’Truly unbelievable!’

Still, she had achieved her goal for coming here.

She walked over, looked at Ye Chen, and picked him up.

"From now on, I’m your teacher. You’re coming with me," Shangguan Yulan said, dotingly nuzzling her cheek against Ye Chen’s.

"Hey, hey!"

Seeing her about to leave, Ye Yunyi called out, "Teach him when it’s time to teach, but bring him back when it’s time for him to nurse."

"I know!"

Shangguan Yulan practically spat the words out through clenched teeth.

’That guy is full of nonsense. As if I had any other choice but to bring him back!’

’It’s not like *I* can feed him.’
