Gulu…

Gulu…

A mysterious decoction was slowly simmering in the milk pot in the kitchen. In Tong Lu's bedroom, Qin Ren moved a bench and sat in front of his half-human deer mother-in-law, looking obedient.

"hiss…"

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's just a small thing. I made a small cut when I was collecting herbs."

Qin Ren shook his fingers, sat upright and looked at Tong Lu:

"Madam, so...you are also a demon ancestor?"

…

With Tong Lu in this state, Qin Ren really couldn't say the word "aunt", and it always felt weird.

In addition, when she was sitting in front of him like a gentle little mare, her temperament was really as divine as the sacred deer in the animation "Nine-Colored Deer" that Qin Ren watched when he was a child. Therefore, Qin Ren

The title of this future mother-in-law is also unknowingly more inclined to "Mrs."

"Demon Ancestor...?"

Tong Lu, who covered her shame with a quilt, managed to regain her usual demure and gentle manner. She glanced at Qin Ren slightly doubtfully, and then nodded:

"Oh, that's what you exorcists say, right?"

"Uh...right."

It seems that Tong Lu belongs to that kind of "hermit" in the world of monsters, and does not understand everything. Qin Ren roughly explained to her the concepts of today's demon descendants and demon ancestors. After listening to this, Tong Lu looked a little helpless at first,

Then he smiled openly and brightly:

"Anyway, I don't know where I came from. It may be some otherworldly plane you mentioned. I only know that when I have memories, I am lying in a forest like this.

In, of course..."

Mrs. Tong caressed her face gently, feeling a little stunned:

"...I was... relatively young at that time. My face might be similar to Xiaoyun's now. I was still a little girl..."

"No, no, what are you talking about?"

Qin Ren shook his head and still insisted on trying to please his mother-in-law:

"What's the use of just looking at your face? Madam, you are very young just by looking at your face. Most people wouldn't guess that you have two daughters."

"Tsk...you kid, you still haven't forgotten to flatter me at this point..."

Tong Lu smiled sweetly, and the supple tail that looked like a pony tail subconsciously swung, causing Qin Ren to look at the plump and plump deer butt twice.

Um…

If this is slapped twice, does it count as real flattery...?

Anyway, Qin Ren feels that from the appearance point of view, this lower body, whether it is Bai Ze, a deer or a horse, has the same meaning...

"Ahem...that..."

After all, she was the mother-in-law. Qin Ren withdrew his slightly "unfilial" look and asked seriously:

"...What happens after that? Does Mrs. Tong come out of the forest and integrate into human society?"

"No, I lived in the forest for a long time after that. Because I was attracted by a strange power in me, all the creatures in the forest loved me. Whether they were birds, beasts, flowers, plants, or trees, they all took good care of me.

Me, I feel like..."

"Do you feel like they are being treated as gods?"

Qin Ren blurted out, and Tong Lu pursed her lips in embarrassment, acquiescing.

"Then the power in you, madam, is..."

"It is the force of life."

"life…"

Tong Lu confided briefly, and Qin Ren thought of something keenly, and turned to look at the balcony outside the bedroom.

Those flowers and green plants…

Those trees in pots...

Those strange and unrecognizable plants…

Qin Ren would think of those winter jujubes that "mother grew herself" that Xiao Chengzi brought to the company, as well as the words "mother seems to have magic", and he understood everything at once.

…

My mother-in-law is actually a "Mother Goddess of Life"...

This is crazy...

…

Because Su Lili had told herself about the void and Cthulhu before, Qin Ren couldn't help but think of the legendary real Supreme Mother Goddess, Shub Nicholas, the Black Goat of the Forest.

But obviously, Mrs. Bai Zetong, who also has life-related divine powers, is not the same concept as that kind of thing.

Tong Lu is a very gentle, friendly and humane God of Life, or a fairy. You can tell by looking at her usual attitude towards flowers and plants.

"Qin Ren."

"Um?"

"Give me your hand."

"?"

Qin Ren was startled for a moment. Mrs. Tong looked at him stupidly, smiled, and held one of his hands. Her fingertips gently grasped the finger Qin Ren had made a small cut on.

There was no bleeding anymore, but there was indeed a faint streak of blood red.

Tong Lu blinked, and then, without waiting for Qin Ren to ask anything, she gently took the blood-red mouth into her lips.

"?!"

Qin Ren's eyes widened and he was shocked, but he was not shocked by the delicate and soft touch of Mrs. Tong's lips, nor was he shocked by the smooth and delicate appearance of her soft jade hands like a girl.

An invisible force.

Soft, warm, yet powerful and sublime.

After his fingertips "drank" the power, Qin Ren had already retracted his hand, and then found that the small opening he had just scratched had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

"You see, this is the power of life."

Mrs. Tong said, with a look of pride in her eyebrows, even a little like a little girl who got 100% in the exam and expected praise from the teacher.

"What a strong healing effect..."

Qin Ren looked at his fingertips and marveled, but immediately couldn't help but murmur:

"...It's as powerful as Pixiu..."

"?"

Mrs. Tong, who originally had a smile as bright as a flower, frowned when she heard this:

"Who are you talking about?"

"Uh? Oh... Pixiu, I..."

Qin Ren scratched his hair. Before he could tell Cheng Siyun what happened, it seemed he had to confess to his mother-in-law first:

"...Madam, to be honest, I have a Pixiu at home. She is a spiritual beast and has some pretty powerful abilities, including healing. She also..."

"That can't be compared to the power of life."

Tong Lu shook her head, shaking her two beautiful antlers together:

"Qin Ren, you may not know that the distance I used to heal you with the power of life is actually a new life, not a rebirth."

Qin Ren was a little confused:

"What's the meaning?"

"Regeneration is just like ordinary treatment, such as taking external forces such as medicine to accelerate the healing of your body's tissues. But rebirth is to create a new batch of new ones out of thin air from those parts of you that have died and withered due to injury.

Put it on again."

"..."

Everyone in Qin Ren was dumbfounded.

Body tissue? Birth?

Meaning...creating cells out of thin air?

Wouldn’t that be creating life out of thin air?
