Chapter 8: Finally meeting the ML

"This shitty meeting!" Lu Feng muttered curses under his breath while blocking Lai Jing's ears.

"Mommy, I can read lips you know."

Hearing this, Lu Feng still didn't stop cussing but hugged his child so that he couldn't see his furiously moving lips which were working hard to curse at the world.

Lai Jing squirmed around and eventually had enough room to look up to his Mommy.

"Mommy, is this fiancee of yours bad? Then just dump him!"

Lu Feng lovingly looked at Lai Jing.

"Xiao Jing. It's not just that. I know this man. But I don't really know him at all also. You know the cure we made in the lab? Our hard work was all spent on him. Now I feel like we should have just let him die. Playing with me like this... hmph, he should just go die. And the worst part is, I don't even have a fiancee in the first place! Who is he to try to get himself married to me?"

Lai Jing nodded and tried to please his fuming Mommy.

"Mhm, my Mommy's too good for anyone! If I ever get a Daddy, he'll have to go through me! And this person. Ji Xiong? Xing? Eh, I don't care. He made us work so hard, albeit I just stayed in the lobby, but those workers and you had so many sleepless nights! I don't like this man!"

Ding Ye got out of his shocked period as well and got a proper look at the two gossiping pair. He felt quite ashamed looking at those two whispering. Since they were all wearing masks, he should pretend to not know them.

The audience was silenced as well before, but they also got out of their stupor and walked towards Lu Feng and Ji Xiang who was a little farther away.

Lu Feng didn't want to talk to anyone right now so he made a quick escape to the bathroom along with his son and Ding Ye in hand.

"Boss, I don't remember you taking a fiancee? Is this the work of your family? These days, gay marriages are perfectly fine but are still scorned by some people. But if you two get together, since you guys are so beautiful, I think they'd just think it as a pity for such handsome young men to get together without producing an offspring. Well, what do you think?"

"Bro Ye. Shut up for a moment. I don't want to hear it. I want to go home. I want to go home. I want to go home. I want to go home. I-"

"Ok ok, let's just stay in the bathroom until the gang leaders' organization meeting is held. I think the party will go on till about 2 hours later. What about moving to the gardens? I heard they have nice roses and a large lake at the back. Get some fresh air. I'll bring some food for you."

"Fine, get me some mango and peach juice."

Staying out of the crowd's way, Lu Feng and Lai Jing climbed out of the bathroom through the windows. They did it quite skillfully.

'Dang. Host, you missed your calling as a thief! Since you can destroy anything just by touching it accidentally, you can destroy locks too, right? Man, you could have been a rich tycoon!'

'427, didn't you know? I really was a thief!'

'Huh? Really? What did you steal?'

'The doomsday prediction relics! Those foggy old geezers were saying that they were "researching" them, but what do they know? Only an expert like me can do this sort of stuff!'

427 thought to himself. 'The host's ego is really big...'

'Oh, how many did you steal?'

'Hehe, I stole 279 pieces! But since they were all broken parts, sticking them back together with super glue only resulted in 17 artifacts...'

'That's still very impressive!'

'I know right? When those geezers realized it, they even called for the FBI to search for them! But never did they know that I went back to China before they could catch me! I heard that some of them fainted in anger!'

427 thought to himself again. 'I feel bad for those elders...'

'Well, I'll talk to you later. bye.'

'Yes, goodbye host.'

Lu Feng stopped chatting idly with his system and grabbed Lai Jing's small hand.

By using the moonlight to shine through the paths, they were able to successfully get to the beautiful rose garden.

Lu Feng didn't really like roses. They were very beautiful but hurtful. Thorns and spikes... He felt as if he was catching onto something but couldn't quite get it.

"Then I'll make a flower just for you. A flower as beautiful and deadly as you, but it'll only harm those who lie. What about it? A truth flower? Do you like it?"

"Hm? What's this memory? Whose voice was it? So familiar? I have very good memory, but why can't I remember this event well?"

Lai Jing looked curiously.

"Mommy, what's wrong? Don't be sad. That horrible man can just go die!"

"Ah, Lai Jing you shouldn't be saying it like that..."

"The am I allowed to say that he's a fucking bastard or a son of a bitch or a damned man?"

Lu Feng was startled by this behavior.

"Lai Jing, don't say that. I really don't like that man, but it's very bad to use those words..."

"But Mommy, you said those words too."

Lu Feng looked away since he had no comeback to that.

"Mhm, ok, fine. But don't say those words to anybody in their face unless they deserve it."

"But I don't even talk to people in the first place."

"Oho~ Are you talking back to me now? Hm?"

Lai Jing grinned.

"Of course not~ My dear mommy, let's just go see the lake. We can leave cousin Ye alone. He'll get our food for us."

Lu Feng said an apology to Ding Ye who expected them to wait in the rose gardens.

Hand in hand, the pair walked along the path to the large and clear lake.

"Wow..."

Lai Jing was taking in the breathtaking scenery of the clear and shining lake in the moonlight. The moon tonight was full and bright, shining down at the whole lake, making it glitter and sparkle.

Lu Feng was also very amazed at the scene but what made him more mesmerized was the figure that was walking on the water.

'427, 427, 427! Is that Jesus?! I never expected him to be so handsome!'

'Oh, he's not that guy. But that man is indeed a God. He should be the most high ranking one. How is he here? The realm should have been keeping him in... Should I report this?'

Lu Feng didn't listen to the last few parts so he didn't get to hear 427's hesitant murmurs.

The man, or God, was indeed, very handsome.

Long smooth black hair that reached down to his back.

Skin that was pure and pale but had a healthy glow.

Eyes that sparkled with the color of a furiously raging fire.

Eyebrows that were sharp and accented the face very well.

Lips that were raised slightly but able to immediately cause others to swoon.

A proportionally rounded jawline that looked as if it was sculpted.

A high and straight nose that was absolute perfection and showed his sovereignty.

A tall lengthy figure that was of a perfect figure that would make anyone pale in comparison.

Lu Feng thought that these few words could not describe this God.

Lai Jing didn't notice the man yet, but when he did, he was also astonished at how perfect this man could be.

"Mommy, make that man my Daddy! He looks really good!"

"You! Don't judge a person by their looks! And why should I marry a man?"

"Mommy, you are my mommy. Daddy is a daddy, he should be stronger and more handsome. He should be able to take care of the family. He should be able to earn money so that we can buy lots of stuff."

Lu Feng lightly smacked Lai Jing's head and Lai Jing cheekily stuck his tongue out.

"Look, he looks very nice. His smile is filled with kindness! I only wonder why he's wearing such long robes like from those ancient times. Oh, he's coming our way!"

Yup, the God was heading to our favorite father-and-son pair's way.

"Mommy, I've decided. That man is going to be my Daddy! Go catch him!"

Lu Feng blushed just thinking about it. What was this kid thinking? He seems to have talked to his grandmother too much! I knew I shouldn't have let them sit together to watch all those household gossip shows! So shameless!

"Lu Feng, I finally found you."

Lu Feng heard the smooth and slightly deep voice and shivered. This God's voice is perfect too! Slightly deep, clear, and full of authority...

"U-um, yes? Hello, I'm Lu Feng. Which God might you be?"

The God smiled.

Blinding! Lu Feng looked away while blushing furiously. God, why was he like this? So embarrassing!

"So your system told you already? You seem to have locked away your memories too? You don't remember me?"

Lu Feng looked at the God in confusion.

The God lightly sighed.

"No harm. I guess you really don't remember me. You'll find out who I am soon. Mm, come into the lake, it's better to use the energy of the Moon. I'll protect you, don't worry."

As if led by the smooth voice, Lu Feng walked into the lake waters.

Surprisingly, it wasn't cold. It was warm but not hot.

Suddenly, the lake shone brightly and Lu Feng was swallowed in the light.

Something cracked inside of him and burst out.

Familiar memories, strength, thoughts, and feelings found their way to Lu Feng and were once again properly stored in his body.

427: 'M-my host w-w-w-w-was a God?!'

428: 'Ah, so here you were!'

427: 'Ahhh! You pervert! Aren't you supposed to be dead?!'

428: 'Hm~ Nope! Missed me?'

427: 'As if! Buzz off!'

428: 'You're always so hurtful...'

427: 'U-um, sorry.'

428: 'Hahaha! So cute!'

427: 'Y-you! I'm going off!'

428: 'Wait, come back! I promise I won't tease you!'

Unfortunately, 427 had gone off already. 428 lamented, trying to think of ways to get the cute system to talk to him. What 428 didn't know was that 427 was actually smiling in his space.

427: 'Hm, I'm glad he's not dead... Wait, what am I saying? That pervert should just go die!'

Meanwhile, Lai Jing was finding all of this a little weird to take in.

His future Daddy was a God.

His Mommy seemed to be a God too.

And they had magical powers?

Cool!

Would he be able to have magical powers too?

Lu Feng opened his eyes.

Lu Feng's body had changed.

He looked as feminine as before but was much more beautiful. Very beautiful. Enough to cause a whole galaxy to collapse.

He had whitish silver hair that was long and reached to his knees.

Eyes that were in a mesmerizing silver outlined in a golden shade.

Long eyelashes that fluttered softly like a butterfly's wings.

A slim and straight nose that looked all too adorable.

Thin pink lips that were luscious and shining.

Pale and soft skin that glowed under the beautiful moonlight.

A tall figure, not as tall as the God's but still tall enough to stand above all.

Such a lovely looking figure could not possibly exist in this world!

Lu Feng was now dressed in a light & soft looking white garment that seemed to slightly float. Similar to a Chinese gown from the ancient times except it looked like it was woven from the clouds.

Honestly, it really looked like the two Gods' roles, Creation and Destruction, had been switched.

Lai Jing stared in amazement at his Mommy's transformation.

He freaked out. What if his Mommy didn't want him anymore because he was a God? What if his Mommy forgot all out about him?

What if? What if?

Tears fell rapidly from Lai Jing huge eyes. Croaks could be heard since he was trying to hold back but ended up choking.

"Ah ah, Xiao Jing. Don't cry, what's wrong?"

A soft embrace came over Lai Jing.

Lai Jing ended up crying more.

"Wuwuwu. Mommy, don't leave me... I'll be a good kid... I'll cook for you... I'll clean up for you... Don't leave me..."

"Silly child, why would I leave you? You're my son!" Lu Feng lovingly looked at his child.

"Really? Won't leave me? Forever?"

"Mm, I'll stay with you forever. Now stop crying, alright? Tears will make your eyes puffy."

Lai Jing stopped crying and smiled happily.

"Are you my Daddy?" he asked the God.

The God looked pissed off and angry. His wife didn't come hug or kiss him when recovering his memories! And what's this Daddy? He already had a child?

Lu Feng, since he had gained all his memories, knew what this man was thinking of.

Chuckling lightly with his silky voice, he said, "Meng Wei, I adopted him. Don't be angry anymore. Gosh, I'm still embarrassed by how I was acting around you when I still didn't have my memories back."

And then a light kiss was given to soothe the God, Meng Wei's feelings.

"Ok, don't be mad anymore, alright? I already gave you a kiss. This is Xiao Jing, our son."

Meng Wei smiled.

"All recovered? Hello, Lai Jing, I guess I'm your father starting from today."

Lu Feng also smiled. Look how sensible his man was!

Lai Jing blinked several times before breaking out into a grin and hugging Meng Wei's thighs.

Lu Feng: Eh? This, doesn't it seem like he's hugging a thick thigh to hold on to (someone to rely on)?

Meng Wei noticed his lover's thoughts.

"He's too short to hug me. Here."

Meng Wei shifted his position and squatted.

This young boy was quite cute. He resembled Lu Feng when he was still very young. Hm, might as well adopt a son to care for. We always wanted a child anyways.

Meng Wei and Lu Feng had always wanted a child but didn't want for the child to be born into captivity in the realm.

Meng Wei had created a potion specifically to get Lu Feng pregnant even when he was male.

Enough about that. Meng Wei will soon come to spoil the child more than Lu Feng did.

Suddenly, the two Gods sensed a disturbance in the area.

A dark figure that was panting came out from the bushes.

"Lu Feng! Tell me when you're going somewhere else! I had to search everywhere for you! I got so thirsty that I even drank your mango & peach juice!"

"My mango & peach juice!" Lu Feng cried out in injustice.

"I'll make you one, don't worry."

"You'd better!"

"Mm, calm down. Now, what's going on?"

Ding Ye got up from the ground.

His hair was full of leaves, sticks, and mud. A small spider crawling around his head too. Disgusted, Lai Jing flicked it away with a stick.

Ding Ye's red suit, hair, and make-up had been ruined as well.

He looked like a banshee, just not with the long hair.

The originally fashionable and handsome young man had now looked like he came out from Hell.

"L-lu Feng? Is that really you? Why are you so pretty? Your hair's so long! What are you wearing? And who's that dude? God, he's really hot!"

Lu Feng was embarrassed at his friend's behavior but tried to keep himself calm.

"Bro Ye, this is my lover, Meng Wei."

Ding Ye nodded.

"W-wait. Lover?!"

Lu Feng ignored his super shocked friend and introduced him to Meng Wei.

"This is Ding Ye. He's Xiao Jing's cousin and my friend."

Meng Wei greeted the shell-shocked fool politely and asked again.

"What's going on?"

Lu Feng fidgeted a little.

He really wanted to destroy something right now.

He had to control his urges first.

So after a few breathing exercises, Lu Feng began to tell what had been going in his life so far...
