A month has passed and WuXia has begun to become acquainted with his baby life, but his father, who has yet to return, has been a pain in his ass.
WuXia is now at level 3, and the more he level up with the demon system, the more the EXP required for the next level get higher.
WuXia's mother, Yi Yun, was an emitter, a mage who specializes in healing spells, and the guards in the house had increased due to the insurgency.
Mage were divided into four categories in this world: augmenter, deviant, emitter, and beast tamer.
Augmenters are mages who use accumulated Mana to increase their physical strength. They can be identified by their finely developed muscles and massive body builds. Deviants are mage who understand the elements in their surroundings and use them for their own benefit, such as fire, wind, electricity, gravity, and many others.
While others improve their body and physical attack prowess, beast tamers improve their soul force, allowing them to forge contracts with magical beasts. A person can be both of them at the same time, for example, a person who can use earth magic can also learn how to wield a war hammer.
"Yi Yun, your husband has returned and he is injured," Yi Yun's sister, Yi Yin, ran in to inform Yi Yun, who was caring for Shen WuXia. She wasn't as beautiful as Yi Yun, but she was beautiful in her own right.
"Is he hurt? Please take care of WuXia while I go and treat him," Yi Yun yelled loudly. Yi Yun bolted from her room.
Despite the fact that she was not married to a king, her husband, Shen Fong, was a respected figure in their small city, if not the second in command after the king.
He is a deviant who specializes in wind and sound magic; on the surface, he appears to be weak, but he is actually quite strong. It is not about how powerful your element is, but about how good you are at controlling it.
Yi Yun arrived in the living room where Shen Fong was sitting, his body injured, particularly his hand, which was pleading from what appeared to be a blade cut.
"What happened to your hands, darling?" Yi Yun inquired as she fixed her hands on her husband, her hands emitting a light green glow and the small cuts beginning to close.
"How is our son?" Shen Fong inquired while his wife was healing his hands. He adored his son and would go to any length to protect him because he was the first son.
"WuXia is fine; I left him with Yin when I found out you were hurt. What exactly happened to cause you to stay so long without contacting home?" Yi Yun inquired, a frown on her lovely face.
"We were placed in a dungeon belonging to the sun clan after they discovered we came to spy on them; we were outnumbered, so they gained the upper hand, and I lost most of my loyal soldiers; I had to ask them to surrender immediately, and we were taken into custody by those evil sun clan," Shen Fong explained. His eyes were filled with rage as he remembered his brother dying as a result of the mission.
"Don't be too hard on yourself, honey; just because you surrendered doesn't mean you lost completely; anyway, that didn't answer my question."
"Oh, and as for the injuries, they came after a hard fought battle with the dungeon wardens and soldiers. In conclusion, we escaped, and I'm sure the clan head will be informed soon, and he will come with a full sweep against me" Shen Fong went into great detail.
Shen Fong decided to ask the king for men and weapons after both husband and wife debated until the healing session was completed.

Meeting hall in the King's palace
The king was a middle-aged man who was quite fat. His dress was purple and embellished with precious stones, indicating how wealthy Xian city was.
"So it's true, the Sun Clan has their sights set on the throne. They even killed your men and imprisoned the one who surrendered. Don't be down, Shen Fong; I, King Zhao Feng, would not let those thugs live to see tomorrow" King Zhao Feng yelled angrily.
"What about the Lin brothers?" King Zhao Feng inquired.
"Sigh, Lin Gon was killed while still in disguise, we only met his corpse along our path into the sun clan, Lin Feng is alive but still in the dungeon, because he was badly injured during the fight," Shen Fong reported.
"Say no more, Shen Fong; I heard your wife gave birth to a son," king Zhao Feng said.
"Yes, your highness, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you about this; it was all due to the mission, and I'll use this opportunity to ask for your protection over my family while I'm away," Shen Fong replied.
"You didn't even notice that the number of guards in your house had increased. Nothing will happen to them "King Zhao Feng was confident.
Shen Fong talked with the king for an hour. They both planned the strategy to use because the people of the Sun clan have more powerful deviants and augmenters.
The king signed the pass; it was a document that, once signed by the King, could be used to take weapons from the arsenal and soldiers from the army.

Sun clan, clan leader's residence
"What! You mean general Shen Fong was able to flee despite all of the soldiers I personally placed in his path? You can see why I always tell you not to underestimate that general "Sun Feng, the leader of the Sun Clan, yelled at a wounded soldier.
"We couldn't tell if he had progressed past the light purple stage. He was only in the dark purple stage when we found him; we didn't expect him to rise any higher; he's a monster." The soldier attempted to persuade the clan leader to see things from his point of view.
"Forget it, you're still a novice; being defeated by a man of war like Shen Fong is nothing new. I heard that his wife has given birth to a boy; gather your men and bring that little boy and his mother to me. If the general knows his family is with us, he will not act hastily" Sun Feng smirked.
"I don't want anything to happen to them. His wife is stunning, and she is qualified to warm my bed, hehe. What are you waiting for? Proceed with the mission."
