But today, Ivan heard some truths that he didn't know in the past.

As a mixed-blood, he had the blood of the human race and the powerful spiritual power of the Demon Spirit Clan. His father chose to fall into the darkness to make up for the spiritual power of the Vampire Clan. The collision of the three powerful spiritual powers opened up a passage, and his father confronted him with swords just to use him to leave this world.

In other words, Ivan was used by his father, and he almost couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"At first, I also wanted to take you with me."

His father, who had been silently drinking tea, said, "But your mother said that you and we are not fated to be together, and there will be a day when we will be a team member."

"So you left me behind?" Ivan looked at him coldly.

"Yes." His father said confidently.

Ivan was angry in his heart, couldn't he leave a little explanation before leaving?

He had nightmares every day for countless nights, and the scene of his cross piercing his father in and out of his dreams.

"The flow of time in this world is different from our original world. I was 18 years later than your mother, but I missed many reincarnations." His father sighed, held his mother's hand, and said affectionately, "I've made you wait for a long time."

His mother shook her head and leaned in his father's arms with a happy face, "No matter how long it takes, it's worth it."

Tsk tsk tsk, so dazzling.

"The reason why mother knows the purpose of our coming is because of the ability of foresight?"

Qing Guang asked the question in his heart, "Has mother and father always retained the memory of reincarnation?"

"Yes."

His mother nodded and said, "Because the source of the soul is different, even if we reincarnate, we still retain the memory and ability, but after each reincarnation, it will weaken. This is also evidence of being assimilated by this world. Maybe one day we will forget all of this, but I believe that regardless of whether we have the memory or not, we will recognize each other."

The two looked at each other affectionately.

What a beautiful love story. Qing Guang's eyes were full of envy, which made Ivan very unhappy.

"Why are you looking at them? I, your husband, will never forget you." Ivan tilted his mask and kissed her on the cheek.

"You, what are you doing?" Being kissed in front of the elders, Qing Guang blushed and didn't dare to look up.

His mother smiled and waved her hand. Little Fox Ball came over and allowed his mother to stroke his fur. "When this child was born, I knew that he was destined to be with you. I didn't expect that he would become your weapon in the future."

"Then, do you know that there's another sword that's fated to be with me that came from Sanjō Munechika?"

They even looked exactly the same.

"You mean Three Days Months Zong Jin?"

Ivan's eyes widened. "You've already forged?"

His father smiled and rolled up his sleeves. "Not yet, but I've received a commission from the Minamoto clan. Although I haven't started forging yet, I've already come up with a name."

As he spoke, his father got up and took out a long sword from his luggage. As a sword user, Qing Guang could tell at a glance that this sword was not ordinary. Upon closer inspection, he could even see the runes of the new moon.

Ivan couldn't be more familiar with this sword. It was his father's sword. "You plan to reforge it?"

His father nodded.

"No wonder it's so similar." Ivan muttered.

So Three Days Months was based on his father's sword. No wonder it was so similar.

Perhaps this was another clue that his father had left him?

In a daze, Ivan recalled the last words his father had left him. He had said, "Goodbye."

So it wasn't 'goodbye', but 'meeting again'.

Ivan closed his eyes and laughed self-deprecatingly. When he opened his eyes again, Ivan turned to look at a certain middle-aged man who was calmly sipping his tea and extended his hand.

"What?"

Qing Guang noticed that this man's every action, especially the way he sipped his tea, was extremely similar to Three Days Months. No wonder Ivan felt uneasy when facing Three Days Months. When he returned, he would probably be more cautious.

"A gift from my daughter-in-law."

The man was stunned for a moment before shaking his head with a smile. He stood up and took a sachet from his wife's waist.

"Take it."

Ivan opened the sachet. Inside was a bag he was familiar with. He opened it and saw a bag full of shining equipment. He was immediately satisfied. "Not bad."

"Aren't you being too rude to speak to your elders like that?" Qing Guang whispered into Ivan's ear.

Ivan curled his lips and put the bag into his inventory. He left the sachet empty and tied it to Qing Guang's waist.

Qing Guang touched it. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it felt so good to the touch. After touching it, there was even a faint fragrance left on his hand. It was very pleasant to the nose.

"It's good enough that I didn't beat him up. He actually schemed against his own son. Hmph …"

Qing Guang looked at the man, only to see him reveal a bitter smile and shake his head. His eyes were filled with affection.

After talking about the past, Ivan only felt very comfortable in his heart. He thought that he should still be a little concerned about those things. Now that he knew the truth, he was completely relieved.

"So mother predicted that things would change, so you went to the shrine to ask Inari to protect you?"

"Yes, Little Fox Ball was made in the name of the Emperor. Now that it's done, if it's not presented, I'm afraid it's not good."

Little Fox Ball looked confused. It was not difficult to see that he was just a newborn. Ivan touched his fluffy hair. "I'll be your bodyguard for free this time."

"That's good."

The only difference between Ivan and his parents was that he came here as a whole person. This difference was that he kept everything he had, unlike his father who spent a lot of effort to come here with a bag.

Of course, this was probably thanks to Fox's Assistance.

It was not early today. After tidying up, the family had a reunion dinner and made an appointment to meet tomorrow. Ivan said goodbye to Qing Guang and went to a nearby hotel.

Comfortably soaking in the hot spring, Ivan held Qing Guang in his arms and rubbed.

"Don't, it's itchy." Qing Guang shrunk his neck. Ivan's fine hair fell on his neck, itching uncomfortably.

"Then turn around. Hey, don't be so alert. Didn't I say I won't do anything?"

Qing Guang curled his lips. "Who told you to have a criminal record."

With that said, Qing Guang turned over, facing Ivan, and obediently lying in Ivan's arms.

Qing Guang liked being hugged by Ivan like this. It was like being held in the palm of his hand and being cherished.

"That's because you're teasing me."

"Nonsense." Qing Guang rolled his eyes at him. Why did this person always put the blame on him?

"Every look and action of yours is teasing me." Ivan licked his lower lip, looking at Qing Guang with eyes full of passion.

Qing Guang blushed. It was not that he did not feel the change in Ivan's body. To be honest, he was a little interested because a lot of things had happened in the past two days, which made him quite excited.

For example, he knew his master's real name, got a wedding ring, and gained the approval of his parents.

"I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't do it all. If you … I can use my mouth …" Qing Guang's voice was getting softer and softer. If Ivan was not close, he would have missed it.

"Okay, you can serve me." Ivan smiled.

Qing Guang blushed and crawled under the blanket. His voice sounded muffled. "You can't peek."

It was also the first time he used his mouth to serve Ivan, so he was naturally very embarrassed. Even the hand he used to take off Ivan's pants was trembling.

His nose was filled with Ivan's scent. Qing Guang found that he was not repulsed at all. Instead, he touched the semi-hard object with a little obsession and tried to lick it with the tip of his tongue.

***

Ivan had taken on escort missions many times in the past. It had been tough when he was at a lower level, but with the help of his companions, he had been able to complete the missions smoothly. After he had completed his first transition, he had been able to take on escort missions below [A] rank by himself. Now, taking on [A] rank missions by himself was as easy as eating a meal.

As the Human's Chief Cleric, escorting a person and a sword under a group of Retrograde March who were not even enough to fill the gaps between Qing Guang's teeth was so easy that it made him doze off.

The enemies were very weak, but the EXP was considerable. Ivan did not feel that it was a loss for him to foolishly give them EXP one after another. Moreover, Qing Guang's swordsmanship was getting better and better. Perhaps it was related to the increase in his ability points, but his speed was also getting faster.

What?

You're saying that Ivan won't be able to catch him in the future?

Impossible, because he had [Shackles of Fetters], a cheat-like skill that only worked on Qing Guang.

"The center of gravity is higher, and the muscles in your arms shouldn't be too tense."

Qing Guang looked at his father with admiration. "Really, it feels much easier this way."

"In any case, your father used to be a famous swordsman. It won't hurt you to learn more."

Qing Guang's eyes lit up. Ivan was a little jealous. "Do you want to join hands with me when we get back?"

"Eh?

Can I? "

Ivan was also looking forward to it. He wanted to know how big the gap was between him and his wife.

With Ivan and Qing Guang escorting them, the journey was smooth sailing. Even the inspectors who came out to make their presence known were obliterated by Ivan's cross.

If there was any change, it would be that after leaving the shrine, Little Fox Maru seemed to have lost the influence of Inari's spiritual power and turned back into an ordinary tachi.

But then again, Little Fox Maru had just been born. After all, it took Fu Mourning God a hundred years to become a spirit, so it was probably not much different from a human newborn.

After successfully delivering Little Fox Maru to the Mikado, Retrograde March, who had been harassing them along the way, disappeared without a trace. After observing for a day and confirming that Retrograde March would not appear again, Ivan and Qing Guang decided to go back.

He still did not know how the two of them were at home.

Ivan did not feel any reluctance. He knew what happened back then and the current situation of his parents, so he felt a lot less burdened. If he wanted to meet them, he could abuse his authority and come here. Besides, his parents might have the chance to meet in the modern world after reincarnating.
