The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 139: Anything Goes

On the other side, after Lynn hung up the Demon Mirror, he put it away immediately and then sat quietly in his room for a long time.

It wasn’t until he heard the children’s chatter outside that Lynn snapped out of his deep thought.

When he left the room to find the source of the noise, the two little ones had already finished their homework for the day and were jumping around, playing everywhere.

Little Youli was relatively quiet, but Little Yuna was a restless one, climbing walls and trees as if magic wasn’t her forte at all.

"Lynn, once Cleia and the others finish clearing up Celestial Destiny City, let’s send them to the Celestial Destiny Magic and Martial Arts Academy. They’ve started late enough and can’t be delayed any longer."

Seeing Lynn finally broke free of his bindings and appeared in the courtyard, Xiya looked at the playful kids and seriously told Lynn her thoughts.

Even though they’re still young for first graders at the Celestial Destiny Magic and Martial Arts Academy, people are different. Noble children are given a solid foundation from a young age, making formal education a breeze for them.

Little Youli and Little Yuna came from ordinary families and had no foundation to speak of. It wasn’t enough for her to just enlighten them. Besides having private tutors from noble families, the academy education is the most reliable option.

"I’ll have Catherine find the best teachers for them, and afterward, Helena will arrange royal tutors for them. We cannot compromise on education, no matter the circumstances."

Watching the little girls and big cats running rampant in the yard, Lynn recalled his own mandatory education, giving him goosebumps all over.

Those memories were best left untouched. He wasn’t a good student himself but hoped his daughters could be excellent students.

Just like any parent who hopes for their children to excel, even if they themselves haven’t reached those heights, the standards set for the children are stringent.

"Wouldn’t that tire them out? I think normal education should be enough. They don’t have any thrones to inherit, so why burden them with royal coursework?"

Xiya herself was of royal blood and received strict education. Having endured such hardship, she didn’t want her children to go through the same.

With their mother’s powerful background and a whole entourage of support, and their father being unrivaled, as long as they grew up normally, no one in this world could compare to them.

"Extra lessons might be tough, but they’re necessary. There really is a throne to be inherited in our family. Although they aren’t Helena’s biological children, they are the eldest. Besides, I also have land, don’t I? Won’t it all be theirs in the future?"

Lynn spoke while shaking his head, making Xiya a bit annoyed.

She realized Lynn simply wanted the kids to face some challenges. Are you aware they’re not Helena’s biological children? Do you not know that the thrones of the Eight Great Empires can only be inherited by Divine Blood Descendants?

As for your land, let’s not even bother. If I pull out a map of the world, can you even find where your land is?

"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? Little Yuna suddenly feels uneasy."

At this point, Little Yuna, who had been running after Gugu, stopped and came over to Lynn and Xiya, noticing that Xiya was puffing her cheeks and glaring at Dad with her beautiful big eyes, making her a bit confused.

"It’s nothing, sweetie, go enjoy your playtime now; it might just... Ow, Xiya, why are you pinching me?"

Lynn was patiently comforting Little Yuna, only to be sneak-attacked from behind by Xiya, who pinched his waist.

Though Xiya did it with a light touch, more like a playful tickle, Lynn still cooperatively let out a "hiss."

"Let the kids have a lighter study load. If you want to trouble someone, trouble me instead."

Xiya leaned closer to Lynn, whispering softly into his ear, which looked to onlookers like she was initiating some affectionate gesture toward Lynn.

"Well... hehe, isn’t that a bit inappropriate..."

Lynn scratched his chin, blushing with a bashful smile. How could their sweet mutual affection be considered troublesome?

"What kind of skill is it to bully little kids? If you’ve got the guts, bully me instead."

Xiya continued whispering in Lynn’s ear, genuinely worried that Lynn might expose the kids to the tough lessons of life.

Hearing Xiya’s words, Lynn paused his hand on his chin, then stole a glance at Xiya, noticing the mischief in her eyes.

Oh, Xiya Belinda, here I thought you were a mom nobly sacrificing for her kids’ sake, but you’re just messing around, huh?

In that case, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!

Mrs. Lynn, you wouldn’t want your kids to suffer, would you?

"Ah!"

With Xiya’s startled exclamation, Lynn picked her up in one motion and headed straight for the bedroom without saying another word.

"Oh oh!"

Little Yuna’s eyes sparkled at this sight, and she almost wanted to call Little Youli over to join the show.

"Stop it, put me down. How about waiting until the kids are asleep later? You can do whatever you want then."

In Lynn’s arms, Xiya struggled a bit, worried her strong struggle might lead Lynn to misunderstand her intentions.

It’s not that she wasn’t willing to be intimate with him. Hugging and kissing could always be done, but more private things should be left for the bedroom, not in front of the kids.

"Anything really goes?"

Lynn stopped in his tracks, tentatively asking.

"Anything goes!"

Xiya weakly pounded Lynn’s chest with her fists, lightly but firmly confirming.

Naïve Xiya had no idea what consequences her words would bring, unknowingly planting a ticking bomb that would blow up in the future.

Receiving Xiya’s affirmative answer, Lynn put her down, letting her chase after Little Yuna to explain. Meanwhile, in that short time, Vivian and Catherine also showed up.

After some in-depth conversations, the two sisters were now as close as one person, making Xiya seem like an outsider in their friendship.

"Tomorrow I’m planning to take Vivian to the academy. She needs organized learning with the Advanced Martial Arts Class. Reinforcing the basics also requires many professional materials and tools, which you don’t have here."

Upon her arrival, Catherine immediately approached Lynn, stating her intentions of borrowing his little girlfriend tomorrow and possibly not returning her until the evening.

Conveniently, Lynn also had business to attend to the next day, leaving him unavailable to spend time with his wife and kids, so he readily agreed to her request.

Catherine hadn’t expected Lynn to be so agreeable, easily lending out his beautiful little girlfriend. Wasn’t he worried that she, known for her disinterest in men, might have ulterior motives with Vivian?

"They’re all our own wives, how could I not trust you?"

Lynn seemed to have guessed Catherine’s thoughts, quickly adding a clarifying sentence.

Jokes aside, if Catherine truly had strange preferences, she wouldn’t still be single. Being someone so alluring and poised, she had a universal charm, irresistible to both men and women.
