Chapter 292

The group returned to their home in the cave, and Qingyan cooked a meal for the children herself. The four demons were sensible enough not to show up today. Qingyan knew that half the reason was fear—after all, Zhang Ping had consumed so many of their kind—and the other half was to give the family space, as they didn't want the home to feel too crowded. Qingyan gestured for Zhang Ping to sit down, and Jia San and Qian Duo sat beside him. She scooped rice for them, handed out chopsticks, and then warmly told Zhang Ping not to be a stranger and to treat the place as his own home. Huer Niang crouched beside Jia San, her bowl on the ground. She was served the same dishes that were on the table; Qingyan did not mistreat her. Huer Niang thought to herself that Jia San’s mother was actually quite kind and gentle toward her. If only the one in the heavens were the same, she wouldn’t have had to suffer for all these years.
