Speaking of which, Second Brother was big-hearted.

‘Oh, Second Brother, you’re such a silly boy. Is it appropriate to talk about your memories of your past life so casually? Your heart is so big that you need two barbecue grills to cook it.’ Yan Qixun complained to herself.

She also thought that Second Brother might have the same pocket dimension as her, so she was not surprised why Second Brother had the peaches in his hands.

Yan Qixun was excited. “Second Brother, who were you in your previous life? What was your name? What did you do?” 

Gongyu Hao touched his head and said, “Well, I wasn’t a human in my previous life.”

Gongyu Mingxi and Yan Lingyu were speechless. Wasn’t he a human in his past life? It was shocking.

Only Yan Qixun’s eyes lit up. “So, Second Brother, what species were you? A demonic cultivator?” 

‘What the hell was a demonic cultivator?’ Gongyu Hao had a look of disdain. 

“What demonic cultivator? I was the Monkey King of Hua Guo Mountain and the Grand Sage. Heavens and earth raised me, and I was born of chaos. The immortals said I was a demonic monkey because they feared me. Of course, they were even more jealous of me.”

Gongyu Mingxi was dumbfounded, but Yan Lingyu was astonished. She knew about the beautiful Monkey King. He was the monkey on a journey to the west. Wasn’t it just a demon? But the Monkey King had become her second brother. This feeling was quite magical.

Yan Qixun excitedly said, “The Monkey King is my second brother! Oh my goodness!”

Yan Qixun’s eyes continued to glow, and it seemed that it could even materialize. She shouted out in surprise and jumped up to hold Gongyu Hao’s hand. Her excitement was evident in her words. “Brother Monkey! My Brother Monkey!”

What was going on? Not only was Gongyu Hao shocked by her, but even Gongyu Mingxi also had a puzzled look on her face. 

‘Oh, look at how excited she was. Could these two be siblings from his previous life? Two little monkeys?’ This thought amused Gongyu Mingxi.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Yan Qixun was very indignant and said, “How are you supposed to understand? Brother Monkey is our only hope against the world! He is the only reason we persist in our hearts. He is our uncompromising example. He is my forever youth!” 

What was she talking about? They did not understand! 

The mother and son trio was speechless. Yan Qixun looked like no one could not understand her current feelings. However, she understood why her second brother would speak so openly about his past life. Brother Monkey, who was able to call himself the Monkey King, had a fearless personality. He acted like there was no reason to hide the truth from all the mortals. 

Gongyu Hao, as the subject of the topic, thought to himself, ‘Why does Xiao Xun idolize me so much? Compared to the Gods in the Heavenly Court, she does know a treasure when she sees one.

‘This is so expectable from my sister. I’m really embarrassed that my sister likes me so much. Forget it. I’ll pamper her to death.’ Yan Yuhao secretly planned.

Unlike Yan Qixun, Gongyu Mingxi did not know how amazing her son was. She thought that he was just a monkey that had become a demon.

“So, son, seeing how excited Xiao Xun is, are you an amazing monkey? Heaven and earth raised you, and you were born from chaos. It sounds amazing, but…” At this point, Gongyu Mingxi turned her head. “How does Little Xun know who you were in your previous life?” 

Yan Qixun rubbed her head and then smiled guiltily. “Mother, I had a similar occurrence with Second Brother, and I remembered what happened in my previous life. Furthermore, if I told you that I knew about Second Brother’s stories from my past life, would you believe me?”

Gongyu Mingxi had an indifferent look on his face and said, “I believe you.” 

The mother’s reaction was relatively calm. After all, her son was a monkey in his previous life, yet she had calmly accepted it. Yan Qixun was deeply impressed by her mother’s calmness.

When Yan Lingyu saw this, she felt this was an excellent opportunity. It was the perfect time to let them know. Thus, she calmed herself down from the shock of her second brother being a monkey and quickly coughed. 

She glanced at Gongyu Mingxi and said, “Well, mother, if I were to say that I also remembered what happened in my previous life last night, would you believe me?”

Gongyu Mingxi proudly said, “if I were to say that I also remembered what happened in my previous life, would you believe me?”

The siblings were shocked! After the fire, she had awakened the memories of his previous life. Later on, she realized that her entire family had awakened the memories of their past life.

Yan Qixun’s heart was filled with shock. The three siblings looked at each other awkwardly. Yan Qixun whispered, “Mother, I’m not joking. I’m telling the truth.” 

Gongyu Mingxi continued to wear a cold expression. “I’m not joking either. What I said is also true.”

Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say. The air in the room froze. She suddenly felt angry and embarrassed.

“Alright, I’ve remembered what happened in my previous life. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like you all are lying. Since the four of us have already remembered what happened in our previous life, perhaps Su’er had also remembered it. There’s no reason for us to leave her behind. Hao’er, go and call Su’er over. We’ll talk about it together.”

Yan Qixun chuckled. “That’s right. A family should stay together.” 

Gongyu Hao went to the well to call Yan Lingsu over. 

Yan Qixun was curious. “Mother, what was the situation like in your past life?”

Gong Yu Mingxi had a complicated expression on his face. She chuckled. “Let’s wait for Su’er to come over and talk about it together.” At least she won’t have to repeat her own story twice. 

Yan Qixun looked curiously at the two large peaches her second brother had thrown onto the brick table. “Mother, Lingyu, could the Second Brother’s peaches be Immortal Peaches?”

The large peaches looked like flowers, and the peaches were watery and fresh. They looked so delicious, and Yan Qixun wanted to eat them immediately!

Yan Lingyu was also staring at the two large peaches. They both wanted to eat them but said with a regretful tone, “I forgot to ask Second Brother to wash the peaches by the well.” 

Gongyu Mingxi had mixed feelings. Although she looked calm, she still couldn’t come back to her senses. After waiting for a long time, Yan Lingsu carried the washed clothes and followed Gongyu Hao into the house. Gongyu Hao was carrying a basket with clean fruits— there were big flat peaches, honey peaches, dates, pears, loquats, bananas, oranges, apples, and grapes. 

There was so much for them to choose from! It was apparent why he did not respond when they called for him. It turned out that he had gone to wash the fruits.

When Yan Lingsu entered the house, she still had a look of realization on her face. She was probably shocked by these fruits that her second brother had conjured out of thin air.

Gongyu Mingxi pointed to the empty spot on the brick platform. “Su’er, have a seat. Let’s have a good talk as a family.”

Yan Lingsu nodded and said absent-mindedly, “Let me take a few plates to put these fruits on. I’ll also hang Second Brother’s clothes while doing that.” 

The basket was still dripping with water. Yan Lingsu was afraid that the brick platform would get wet. Yan Lingyu got down from the brick platform to help her sister with the clothes.

Yan Qixun then laid the quilt that her uncle had sent over on the brick platform. She then took out the quilt that they had bought on their own and placed it on the brick platform. She leaned against the quilt and said, “It’s more comfortable this way.”

Yan Qixun then asked her second brother, “Second Brother, are all of those immortal fruits?”

Gongyu Hao rolled his eyes. “What are the things going in your mind, Sister? I’ve planted them on the Huo Guo Mountain. Although I used the seeds of the Immortal Peaches to grow these fruits, they were not nourished by the immortal Qi. Instead, they had some spiritual Qi and could barely be considered Immortal Fruits.

“You won’t live forever if you eat these fruits. But if you eat them often enough, you can prolong your life.” 

This was already good enough. However, the fruits that Yan Qixun planted in her pocket dimension were also beneficial for the body if she ate them often. 

Gongyu Mingxi glared at Yan Qixun. “Why are you calling him Brother Monkey? Don’t be rude. You should address him as Second Brother.” 

After Yan Lingsu and Yan Lingyu came over, they placed the fruit plate on the brick table, and the whole family sat around. Gongyu Mingxi then said, “Alright, Su’er, do you know that apart from you, the few of us have also recalled things from our past lives? Did you face a similar situation too?” 

“What?” Yan Lingsu was already shocked by the fact that her second brother had conjured a bunch of fruits out of thin air. She did not expect her mother to throw a massive grenade at her..
