11 Mr. and Mrs. Li plus Yiheng

Andrea couldn't help but sigh at what Khalil pointed out.

"You noticed it too right? I found out about it when I was mastering the mystic arts while at the same time strengthening this body. I think Lyga and Lyga did something." she noticed the confused expression of Khalil.

"Lyga and Lyga?"

"I'll explain to you next time."

"Oh."

"Andrea Fuentebella is human, that's a fact, and so is my current spirit that of a demon queen. Inhabiting a human body with such a spirit will destroy the human vessel. Those two definitely did some modification to house my power in this tiny body."

"I'm a bit confused but I salute those you just mentioned." Khalil gave her a thumb up. "Doesn't this mean your human body is also turning immortal?"

"Probably. I need to run some tests later." she gave him a wink.

Khalil was then surrounded by a blinding light that Andrea had to close her eyes. When she opened them, a younger looking Khalil was sitting across her. He still looked the same, only younger and more energetic. Too energetic for her liking. She promised herself not to regret her decisions in life, but she was starting to because she raised such a person.

"I will be Liu Bai or Khalil Liu, your childhood best friend." he said. "I was sent to study abroad when I was eight where I met you and we became close. How about that?"

Andrea only gave a nod.

"Great! We'll return to China in a few days."

"Okay."

***

Li Weixian was known to be a strict yet successful entrepreneur who made a name of his own by expanding his family's business. He was also known to be one of the wealthiest men in Asia. But Li Weixian knew his and his family's success was due to the fact that they had friendly relations to an ancient demon. He didn't mind it of course. It wasn't like he sold his soul to the devil or anything. And besides, the demon in question was like a son in his rebellious phase of life. Usually, the demon wouldn't intervene in the family business unless there were a few huge decisions to be made for the sake of the family and the company's future. Imagine Weixian's surprise when he asked him for a favor.

"Shaoye (young master)," he called. The demon was called young master ever since the founding of his family. "You want me to adopt your friend and introduce her as my illegitimate daughter?"

"Yes." Khalil said with a smile.

"But, my wife she-"

"Weixian, I never intervened when you slept with many women before Sanhao and Erhua were born, but right now my friend wants to blend in with human society." Khalil explained.

Usually, Khalil doesn't intervene with the family he had ties with. Aside from owning at least thirty percent of the business' shares, he just let them run around as they please. And when the company hits a wall, he would try his best to help them out. Provided that they support him into any endeavors he takes.

"Remember, no one else will know about it." Khalil reminded him.

Khalil watched Weixian grow up, so he knew the human pretty well.

"Also, I will transfer some of my shares in her name." he added. "Let's make her own… seventeen percent of the company shares? Which will leave me with thirteen."

Li Weixian couldn't help but widen his eyes at Khalil's statement. The latter was the major shareholder of the Li Family business, which wasn't a surprise really since he helped his ancestors build it. But transferring seventeen percent of the shares to the mysterious person was something he did not expect. With such an amount of shares, she was technically the major shareholder of the family business!

"Can I ask you a question before I give my answer?"

"Sure."

"This girl that you want me to adopt, who is she?"

Weixian was fascinated, he had never seen Khalil smile sincerely and sweetly on the years he had known him.

"She is my savior, my mother, my sister, my best friend, my queen." Khalil answered. "And everything I've achieved in my life is for her."

He understood then. The person Khalil was asking him to adopt was probably the most important person he had mentioned before. And from the sound of it, she was a demon as well. A demon that was even more powerful than Khalil.

"Very well. I shall start the procedure. Next week, during the family gathering, I will introduce her." Victor said.

"Good. Thank you Xiao Wei." Khalil smiled. Weixian couldn't help but be embarrassed at Khalil's nickname for him. "These are the documents you'll need. Also, you will be meeting her tomorrow. Come over to the usual place. And bring your wife and Yiheng. I think it's time for him to be familiar with the real family business."

The next day, Weixian, his wife Qianhao and eldest son Yiheng arrived at the villa Khalil usually stays in whenever he was in China. It was a three-story building that overlooked the sea. It was also one of the few properties listed under the Li Family but exclusively used by Khalil.

Yiheng was surprised when his father asked him to come with him and his mother to a residential area by the sea. Although he knew his family owned many properties, he wasn't aware that they owned such a villa in Shanghai. He was even more surprised when he saw two teenagers, both definitely younger than him, playing video games the moment they arrived at the living room.

It had simple decorations, with two different colored long couches and two single couches. The glass coffee table was filled with opened chips and canned drinks. The two were seated on the black leather couch.

"Oh, you're here." said the boy. "Take a seat. Let us finish this game first. Feel free to look around and get something to eat."

Yiheng glanced at the TV and saw the two were actually playing Mario Kart. He couldn't believe how casual the boy was talking towards his parents. Imagine his surprised when his parents bowed to their direction.

"I'll prepare some… healthy snacks." said his mother, Qianhao, who went straight to the kitchen.

His father sat on one of the single couches while he chose to sit on the pink couch. They waited for about three minutes before the two finished their game. He heard the boy grumble because he lost.

"Are you sure this was your first time playing? I can't believe I can't beat you and I was one of the developers of this game."

Yiheng doubted his hearing sense for a sec. Mario Kart was an old game and he looked very young, yet he was one of the developers?

"Thank you for coming Weixian." said the boy. He was too confused to actually retaliate at such a behavior.

"It is my pleasure young master, although it took some time to get here. I apologize for that."

"Dad, why are you apologizing?" he asked. "And did you just call him young master?"

"This should be Yiheng." the boy said. "I'm Khalil. I used to babysit you."
