Longevity with My Offspring

Thinking about his daughter pointing at the goldfish, Shen Wang couldn't help but look at the colorful goldfish hiding in the corner, and then glanced at the large piece of spirit crystal.

"Could it be this fish's doing?"

He looked at the distance between the fish tank and the large spirit crystal, thought of something, and his face turned unsightly: "Demon, reveal your true form, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Shen Wang never imagined that the goldfish he brought home would be a demon. At first, he just thought it was an ordinary goldfish, at most, just very beautiful.

The little goldfish turned and looked at Shen Wang, staring with big eyes pretending to be innocent.

"Stop pretending, no one else came in here just now, if it wasn't you, then who else could it be!"

Shen Wang sneered coldly, "Even stealing from a child, I see you're not a good demon, don't blame me for taking action!"

As he spoke, he had already positioned his daughter behind him, clutching a talisman in his palm, ready for defense and attack at any moment.

He didn't attack immediately because he judged that the goldfish's strength was average. If it were powerful, it wouldn't have been brought home by him.

Secondly, this goldfish hadn't harmed his daughter, and it seemed to be just stealing spiritual qi. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so polite.

Seeing that it couldn't keep up the charade, the colorful little goldfish showed a helpless expression and mumbled, "I was just absorbing a bit of my own power, not stealing."

Shen Wang listened gravely, now fully convinced that this little goldfish was indeed a demon. He said coldly, "This is something I brought back, it has nothing to do with you."

He simply thought the other party was making excuses. The spiritual qi in that spirit crystal was extremely abundant, and it must have been that the demon couldn't resist stealing it. How could it possibly be its power?

"But I just feel that the power is very familiar, just like my own."

The colorful goldfish wagged its tail and spat out a bit of water.

"You are mine now, even if the spirit crystal was really yours, it's still mine!"

Shen Wang sneered, "If you keep babbling, I'll beat you till you're scattered to the wind."

The little goldfish showed a look of fear and quickly shook its head, "It's not mine, please don't kill me."

"Apologize to Xue'Er, say that you shouldn't have stolen her things."

Shen Wang was increasingly certain that this goldfish didn't have much strength. Whether it was its aura or its reactions, it didn't seem like a great demon; it should just be a little demon.

The dragon girl could only swim around and said to Shen Wang's daughter, "Xue'Er, Xue'Er, it's my fault. I shouldn't have eaten your things."

"Hehe."

Shen Chuxue, also known as Ruo Water, burst into a delighted giggle, feeling very satisfied.

"You little demon are good at pretending. Earlier, I thought you were just a nice-looking goldfish."

Shen Wang grabbed the dragon girl and said coldly, "If you steal again in the future, I'll eat you up."

"I wouldn't dare anymore, don't squeeze me." The dragon girl pleaded loudly.

Shen Wang put it back into the water, after beating it with a stick before turning to give it a carrot, saying, "If you want to continue living, just be obedient. When necessary, protect my daughter, and I will naturally give you a spirit stone, understand?"

"Yes, yes, I'm not bad, I'll definitely be obedient and will try my best to protect Xue'Er."

The dragon girl wisely agreed.

"Just saying doesn't count, you have to give me something to guarantee that if you act out of line, I can punish you."

Shen Wang raised his hand.

"I'm already like this, how could I have any leverage to give you?"

The dragon girl puffed out angrily.

"I don't care. If you don't give me something, I'll make you into braised goldfish right now."

Shen Wang said coldly. A demon appearing suddenly in his home, he naturally couldn't let it enjoy freely.

"I... I'll give you a strand of my spirit, but you must protect it for me, otherwise, with an incomplete soul, I won't be able to become the Dragon God."

"Your ambition is quite grand."

Shen Wang curled his lip, thinking Dragon God is about the same as Immortals. What the other said was no different from becoming immortal.

"I will definitely become the Dragon God."

The dragon girl stated seriously.

"That's your business, now hand over your spirit."

Shen Wang extended his hand, demanding.

The latter, currently with low strength, could only split off a small portion of its spiritual essence, forming a thumb-sized light orb and spat it to Shen Wang, saying eagerly, "You can put it in your sea of consciousness. It can both command me and help nurture this portion of spirit."

"You know quite a lot."

Shen Wang felt this little goldfish was unlike ordinary little demons. He said coldly, "You're too smart. I can't be sure if this can really control you. Maybe I should just kill you. Daughter, do you want to eat braised fish?"

"Eeek eeek."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Ruo Water held grudges deeply, especially since the dragon girl bullied a mere infant like her.

"Please don't. Just control my spirit, I'll be your spirit pet from now on."

The dragon girl hastily shook her head, pushing the light orb towards Shen Wang, "Controlling me is actually better than killing me. I can work for you, slave and toil."

Shen Wang didn't expect the dragon girl to be so timid. After thinking for a moment, he ultimately didn't attack, and received the thumb-sized light orb.

This light orb presented a faint golden color, inside which the spirit transformed into a small goldfish with little wit.

Without feeling any danger, Shen Wang examined it with his divine sense.

"Some demons will proactively hand over their divine souls, inner cores, and the like to protect their lives when facing danger, to see if they can be controlled."

Shen Wang discovered that if he destroyed this, it would harm the goldfish itself, and the lost soul would be challenging to repair.

This soul should be one of its three hun and seven po.

By absorbing the spirit within the light orb with his sense, in the sea of his consciousness, a goldfish appeared, floating mindlessly in his spiritual world, unable to escape and capable of staying there for long.

Simultaneously, he formed a bond with the little goldfish, approximately able to sense the other's emotions and location.

This little goldfish was very afraid at the moment, indeed not possessing much strength. He could easily kill it with a pinch.

"What's your name?"

Shen Wang put away the talisman and asked.

"Lan Kui."

The goldfish timidly answered, slightly relieved to see Shen Wang likely wouldn't kill her to make braised fish.

"Where do you come from? Ordinary little demons typically wouldn't name themselves."

Shen Wang was curious.

"I'm just called Lan Kui. I'm a dragon girl, but I can't remember the past clearly."

The little goldfish spoke with a confused voice.

"Haha, a dragon girl. A dragon girl at least should be a dragon. What qualifies a fish like you to be a dragon?"

Shen Wang chuckled, "I think you heard poets and men of letters talking about the dragon girl at Hundred Creeks Lake and assumed you were a dragon girl."

"I don't know, anyway I woke up knowing I'm called Lan Kui."

The dragon girl said dazedly.

"So, you say this spirit crystal is also yours? Hard to tell your cultivation isn't high and you're pretty good at lying and daydreaming."

Shen Wang mocked.

"No, I truly feel the power inside is mine. If you don't believe me, let me absorb a bit for you on the spot."

The dragon girl earnestly suggested.

"Trying to trick me out of spirit crystals again? Pretty cunning."

Shen Wang sneered, "I don't see why not, call me master."

"Ah, you're bullying a fish, I'm not a slave." The dragon girl was a bit angry.

"Didn't you just say you would be my pet and work for me? What's the problem with calling me master?"

Shen Wang waved the spirit crystal in his hand, "Do you want it or not? If not, I'm leaving."

The little goldfish showed a longing look, a bit embarrassedly saying, "Master, please let Lan Kui absorb a bit."
