Soon, the group arrived at the place where the Pig Demon King resided.
The Pig Demon King seed to have grown even larger.
The babies of the fourth generation, the "Tian" generation, from Li Yaotie's lineage, were being carried by the demonic beasts of the Silver Iron Forest, circling the Pig Demon King.
It had to be said that the Pig Demon King was truly skilled at taking care of children. Whenever the babies cried, the demonic beasts always managed to make them laugh.
It was practically the Li family's best babysitter.
Except that it occasionally fed the children raw at. Anyway, the Seven Ironclad of the "Yun" generation grew up eating raw at, each one as strong as a black bear.
"Great-Grandfather! No, don't let that spirit beast take my little brother up into the sky! What if he falls?"
"You, yes you, big rooster! What are you doing? Are you trying to breastfeed my little sister? What? A spider can do it, so why can't you? Spiders have milk, you don't! And you're a male anyway!"
"Please, Great-Grandfather, that big toad swallowed my little brother! That's not how you keep soone warm and healthy."
"..."
As soon as they arrived at the valley in the Silver Iron Forest, the Li family mbers saw Li Tianyi, the eldest son of the fourth generation, anxiously pacing in circles. The spirit beasts around the Pig Demon King were taking care of the babies in their own unique way.
But the Li family mbers seed to be used to it.
The Pig Demon King lowered his head and said gently, "Tianyi, wasn't this how your great-grandfather raised you too?"
"..."
Little Li Tianyi was on the verge of tears, feeling utterly helpless. He had indeed been raised in such a manner, but only those who have endured violent storms would think of holding an umbrella for others in harsh weather.
He really couldn't understand how his father and six uncles had managed to survive those years.
Anyway, once he started to beco sowhat aware, he learned that raw at doesn't taste good, being swallowed by a beast is quite terrifying, and there's a risk of being dissolved. Falling from the sky is unpleasant, breaking a leg is painful, and by his count, since he could rember, his bones had been broken 26 tis.
Nowadays, Li Tianyi is constantly worried about his younger siblings. He spends all his ti around their great-grandfather, afraid that his brothers and sisters will get hurt from all the wild antics.
"Hahaha, my dear in-law! It's been years since we've last t!"
A deep voice rang out, filling Li Tianyi with joy. He turned his head and saw his family, exclaiming, "Great-grandfather! Great-grandmother! Granduncle! You've co out of seclusion?!"
He hadn't seen these elders in his family for far too long.
He then bowed to each family mber in turn and went over to let the elders touch his head one by one.
He happened to see one of his younger sisters being carried by a monkey, leaping through the trees and disappearing in an instant. Just as he was about to complain about it to his great-grandparents, his little face fell.
Li Dalong watched with relief as the fourth generation of children played with the spirit beasts.
"Thanks to you, old in-law! With our whole family so busy, it's such a relief having you look after the children. They're so happy and growing up strong and healthy in your care."
"..."
Li Tianyi was dumbfounded. Seeing the satisfied expressions on the elders' faces, he couldn't grasp their reasoning for a mont. "Could it be that I'm really being too sensitive? Is this how the Li family's children are supposed to be raised? But won't they get themselves killed like this?"
anwhile, Li Dalong had already walked up to the Pig Demon King.
He explained Li Yunlin's current predicant.
The Pig Demon King was instantly enraged. "That kid Yunlin! I even looked after him for two years! I told you all a long ti ago that the Skyveil Sect was no a good place, and Yunlin shouldn't have gone there. Now, so elder from that wretched sect has the audacity to target him for assassination!"
"Are we going to wipe out the Su family this ti? Old friend, just give a mont to prepare. If all the spirit beasts of Silver Iron Forest co out, it'll be child's play to destroy that newly risen Golden Core family!"
"Don't be hasty, old friend."
Li Dalong stopped the Pig Demon King, who was about to summon the spirit beasts of Silver Iron Forest, and said, "I ca here this ti to ask you to look after our family's assets while all the Li family experts are away."
The Pig Demon King still wanted to say sothing.
Li Dalong continued, "The Su family is ultimately just a pawn of the Skyveil Sect elder. It wouldn't be appropriate for the forces of Silver Iron Forest to mobilize on such a large scale. If you go, your demonic aura as the Demon King will linger and the Skyveil Sect might perceive you as a scourge upon the mortal world, which would make things much worse."
The Pig Demon King finally gave in and nodded. "That makes sense. Go then. With old Pig here, no one will be able to touch my great-grandsons!"
"Oh right, do you need to take any spirit beasts with you?"
Li Dalong shook his head. "It's kind of you to offer, old friend, but the Su family is nothing. The Li family is no longer as weak and isolated as it once was!"
