"What?" my jaw dropped in shock, "Xiaohe finally became a man?" "I was still immersed in that kind of sadness in my heart, but I never expected the ending to be so devastating!

Shigeaki seemed to be waiting for me to react like this, nodded with satisfaction, and continued.

"On that day, the tribulation of life and suffering ended and returned to the heavenly realm ahead of schedule. The Jade Emperor was greatly annoyed by the death of the heavenly official who protected the suffering, so he asked for the specific details of the suffering. Who would have thought that he would experience this time, but it seemed to have lost his spirit, and the whole person was stupid and stupid, and it was difficult to communicate. The Jade Emperor had no choice but to send him to guard the end of the sky. Someone else was sent to investigate the matter.

But the investigation did not go well, because this matter involved the demon world, so in the end I invited the chaos gods to come forward, there are five of these chaos gods in the legend, it is said that most of the gods and demons will re-enter reincarnation after death, reincarnate, and occasionally the soul is scattered, but there were once five gods, they returned to the chaos and went to the chaos universe. The five I know are Pangu, Nuwa Niangniang, Hongjun Laozu, Taishang Laojun and Primordial Tianzun. However, these great gods are now legends in the fairy world, and no one has seen them, and I am not sure if this Chaos God is one of them. In fact, when I listened to the story at the time, I also thought that maybe the elders here might have told it on purpose. Because it piqued our interest even more.

So, in the version I heard, this incident alarmed a certain Chaos God, and on that day, the Chaos God gave an explicit message. Only the sect master of the Demon Sect can hide his demonic nature and eat lotus. The unique physique of the Demon Sect can choose the gender on the day of adulthood, and determine the male and female, and it is rumored that this trait is so that the demon race can be coordinated with the proportion of men and women, so as to live endlessly, and the only one who can hide the magic power is the Demon Sect Master.

That's why investigations are always difficult. However, the gods and demons have always been well water and river water, although the Demon Sect Sect Master killed the heavenly official, but it seems that it is not realistic to go to the demon clan to wash the blood because of a small immortal. So this matter was suppressed later.

Born bitterly, he only paints stupidly at the end of the sky every day, and the former young talent has become a sloppy and bad old man. The fairy world is more of a voice of regret, and no one would have thought that the random rescue of the bitter people back then would actually involve the sect master of the Demon Sect. I can't imagine that because of this sect master, I ruined my life.

Time passed, many years. The mental state of life and suffering seems to be stable, but it is just that people are in front of and behind, and they are afraid of seeing women. The Jade Emperor took pity on him and lifted his ban, and he did not leave the end of the world again. Fortunately, there is no one to disturb him, and if others don't come, he won't go out.

On this day, Sheng Ku felt restless in his heart since the morning, and occasionally looked down at the human world, but only saw the figure of a sixteen or seven-year-old child playing by the river. He rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong, that the end of the heavens was at the end of the heavenly realm. How could he see through the mortal world for no reason? But the child in front of him was indeed so clearly reflected in his eyes, and even the child's facial features were as if they were in front of him. These facial features are even very familiar, and if you look closely, you can see that three points look like him! The remaining seven points are extremely similar to Nian Chu!

'Nian Chu?' the familiar and unfamiliar name, 'Who is it?' he cried out meaninglessly, but no one answered him. As if he had been seduced by the soul, 'Nian Chu!' he muttered to himself.

But the child's image is fleeting, and it is difficult to see it anymore when he is anxious to remove the clouds. The ghost made him stumble.

Space changes, time shuttles. The former lotus pond has long disappeared, and there is only a surging river. Sheng Ku recognized that this was the place where he first saw Xiaohe, and he couldn't help but think back, his headache was splitting, and those things that he had forgotten rushed back to his brain, and he screamed 'ah' and knelt down.

'What's wrong with you?' a childish voice sounded behind him. He looked back and saw the surprised little face of a six or seven-year-old female doll. It was the face he had seen in heaven. The girl was soaking wet, her trousers were held high, and she was carrying a small bamboo fish basket in her hand, and her hair was dripping wet. But this is this face, but it is like a fake, this is completely the combination of himself and Nian Chu's face! He rushed over like crazy and hugged the female doll tightly in his arms, and let out a meaningless howl. The female doll didn't struggle, just obediently let him hold it in her arms. After a long time, the girl doll said softly, 'Grandpa, do I look like your granddaughter?'

An earth-shattering thunderclap made Sheng Ku suddenly relax his body, and he was a little at a loss. 'You call me grandpa?' he still suspects he's misheard.

'Yes, my grandfather had a very long beard like you, but you were a little scruffier than him, just a little. The girl stretched out her fingers and measured.

'Yes!' knelt down in bitterness, if it was really himself and Nianchu's child, at best he was just a mortal body, how could he be, how could he still be a child after living for so many years!

He reluctantly touched the doll's hair again, "Don't always play in the river, it's too dangerous." Then he got up and got ready.

'Grandpa, are you coming back tomorrow?' I'm always playing here by myself, it's a bit boring. ’

His originally dim gaze instantly resurfaced, and he turned his head and smiled slightly, "Come! Tomorrow this time, I will definitely come!"

This night, the bitterness seemed to rekindle the hope of life, and the next morning, he came to the river early. It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, and the heavy dark clouds are pressed down in large chunks, and it seems that it is about to rain. Sheng Ku sat by the river in some frustration, although it was the wind in August, but the fine mud and sand on the shore flew up, and he still couldn't open his eyes. It was a pair of small hands covering his eyes, fleshy and warm. 'Guess who I am?' came a childish and happy voice in his ears. Then he giggled and moved his little hand away, 'Grandpa, you came so early!'

His bitter eyes narrowed into a slit, and when his eyes saw things again, the dark clouds had already dispersed. The warm sunlight shone down, and the little doll seemed to be trimmed with gold.

'I have made an appointment with you, how can I lose my word!' said bitterly and lovingly. On this day, Sheng Ku has been by the side of the female doll, and even when she dives and catches fish, her eyes have never left her figure. He thought, though it couldn't be, but this was his daughter with Nian Chu! Or maybe it was the reincarnation of their daughter! Maybe she had been reincarnated for many lives so that she could be reunited with him one day.

'Grandpa, your beard is so long!'

'Grandpa, why is your hair so messy?'

For the sake of these two sentences, for the first time in so many years, Sheng Ku began to tidy up his appearance, he shaved off his beard and pulled up his long hair. Sure enough, the former merry and famous man was bitter and returned.

This time, the female doll was visibly surprised when she saw him. Sheng bitterly laughed proudly, "Don't call me grandpa in the future, you see I'm not old." ’

'What should I call you?' the doll had big eyes.

You can call me uncle, or you can call me a husband. His bitter eyes were full of pride.

The girl thought for a moment, "I'll have to ask my father before I can decide." Sheng Ku nodded, "Okay, you are still here, so I won't embarrass you, but you really look like my daughter." Then you can call me uncle!'

The female doll danced happily, 'I have such a handsome uncle, Sakura, if they see it, it will be strange if they are not jealous to death!'

'Who is Sakura?'

"Oh!" the girl doll pointed to the other side of the river, "I live over there, Sakura is my neighbor and my little friend!"

I looked hard in the direction she pointed, but the river was vast and endless, and I couldn't seem to see the people over there. 'And what's your name?' he thought he hadn't known her name yet.

'Early Summer!' the girl grinned.

'Early summer!' he repeated softly, as he thought that if his child had been born in time, it would seem to be early summer.

In this way, ten years of such happy days passed. On this day, Sheng Ku brought his favorite snacks in early summer to the river bank to wait for her, but he didn't see her.

When the child is older, there may be something else. I comforted myself with bitterness. But for more than ten days, early summer did not appear. He began to panic. The last time he came here, he suddenly remembered that Hatsu had pointed him in the direction of his home. So, why don't you go to her, even if you just look at her from afar, as long as you know that she is safe. With that in mind, he sailed in that direction. Strange to say, the obviously cloudless river suddenly began to be choppy when he reached the middle of the river. As far as the eye can see, there are no boundaries on all sides, as if you are in the sea.

'Wickedness!' Then cast a spell to crack it. Suddenly, a huge black palace appeared on this riverside! The palace was magnificent, and it was not inferior to the palace of the heavenly realm. It's just that at this moment, the palace is surrounded by lights, as if there is a happy event. Sheng Ku deliberately concealed his immortal energy, and mixed in with the busy crowd. On the way, he also kidnapped a demon palace guard, who stunned him and replaced him with his outfit. Soon, he had already heard that today was the great day of the Demon Sect Master.

Originally, there was no intersection between gods and demons, but when he heard the name of the sect leader of the Demon Sect, he couldn't help but think of the woman who liked to eat lotus flowers that year. When she turned into a man, she said that she only loved the beginning of this life, but why did she get married again today? He didn't have time to think about it, but he had already seen everyone enter the main hall surrounded by the bride. For a moment, his intuitive bride's movements were very similar to early summer, and his heart couldn't help but feel as uncomfortable as a knife. Thinking that she might marry Xiaohe in early summer, an inexplicable feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. He was slightly cramped, as if he was not only a joke here, but also embarrassed.

Therefore, he decided not to worry about whether the person who married was early summer, and the girl was older, so he was going to marry after all. He is not her real father, at best, he is a familiar and strange uncle, as for why he married Xiaohe, he has ruined Xiaohe's happiness once, since she has also decided to look forward, then she naturally has no reason to bother her again. Even why would a human being marry the Demon Sect Sect Master in early summer, he couldn't help but smile helplessly, he might not be good at distinguishing the Demon Sect! In fact, judging from the vision that appeared before every time he came to the river in early summer, early summer was already very extraordinary. It's just that he was thinking about how to be good to this daughter at the time, and he didn't care about these at all. ”
