Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
"Little Yun Li~"
Han Guang crouched a few meters away, clapped his hands lightly, and looked at Yun Li with gentle eyes, gesturing for her to come over to him.
"Yun Er~"
Ye Li also crouched down beside him, opened his arms, and waited with curved brows and eyes for Little Yun Li to pounce into his embrace.
Ren stood to the side, arms crossed, his face cold as frost, his eyes full of speechlessness.
He truly had no choice.
This Shen Wu Xian Zhou Gong Zao Si was originally a heavily guarded critical area, but now it had practically turned into a nursery dedicated to coaxing children.
Except for those holding necessary posts, almost everyone else had gathered around, their gazes uniformly fixed on Little Yun Li, eyes brimming with joy and curiosity.
Everyone wanted to see just how cute the little princess of this Gong Zao Si couple really was.
"Yiya~~"
Little Yun Li swayed her tiny body; instead of rushing toward her parents who were calling her enthusiastically, she ran straight to Ren's feet, her chubby little hand tugging lightly at his trouser leg.
At this moment, the smile on Han Guang's face froze instantly, his heart feeling as if struck by a heavy hammer, his breath even pausing half a beat.
He felt the sky was about to collapse.
His shixiong wore a cold face all day, exuding a stay-away aura — how could he still attract his family's Little Yun Li?
Ren's expression still did not change much; he bent down expressionlessly and carefully picked Little Yun Li up.
No one saw his arms holding the child tighten slightly, his body unconsciously swaying gently.
Ren kept a cold face, his movements clumsy yet gentle, silently amusing the little one in his arms.
Little Yun Li was shaken into great happiness; her tiny hands raised up, waving randomly in the air.
On her round little face bloomed a brilliant smile, brows and eyes curved, looking extremely like Ye Li.
Dan Heng sat on the wall not far away, quietly took out his Jade Terminal, fingertips just aiming at Ren and Little Yun Li, preparing to capture this rare scene.
In the lens, Ren still wore that cold stink face, yet the depths of his eyes hid a trace of hard-to-detect enjoyment.
But the next second, a sharp red sword qi suddenly slashed from Ren's fingertips, heading straight for the Jade Terminal in Dan Heng's hand.
Dan Heng reacted extremely fast; his figure flashed, and he landed beside Chang Ye Yue.
He raised his eyes to look at Ren, his gaze full of provocation, as if saying "Just filming you, come chase me if you have the ability."
"Wawa~"
Little Yun Li did not fear that sharp sword qi in the slightest; on the contrary, her eyes shone bright, staring dead at the long sword glowing red in Ren's hand.
Her chubby little hands kept patting, her mouth letting out excited cries.
"Heng~"
Ren let out a low cold hum, his eyes coldly sweeping over Dan Heng once, not pursuing the matter of his sneaking a photo, and then sheathed the Shi Li Sword.
He lowered his head to look at Little Yun Li laughing happily in his arms, and gently brought her over to Han Guang.
The current Han Guang was staring fixedly at his own daughter, his anxious appearance exactly like an old father afraid someone would snatch his treasure.
Chang Ye Yue stood to the side, her gaze falling on the few people fooling around, her tone faint, carrying a trace of hard-to-detect melancholy:
"Times like these are truly good, but there won't be many left."
Dan Heng nodded slightly, arms crossed, his expression also sinking, tone calm yet carrying determination:
"En, in a few more years, when the Astral Express Ai Li Ou spoke of sets sail, we'll have to leave."
"En~" Chang Ye Yue responded lightly, turned her head to look at Dan Heng, her eyes carrying a trace of entrustment.
"After that, I'll have to trouble you to take care of things."
Dan Heng looked at her, his gaze landing on the Shen Wu Corps jade badge hanging at her waist, brows raising slightly, tone carrying a trace of doubt:
"You're still afraid?"
Chang Ye Yue reached out, gently stroking the jade badge at her waist, fingertips gentle; in those icy red pupils rarely surfaced a trace of softness, she murmured low:
"The future her is a blank sheet; this is what's left for her."
"You don't understand Xuan Ge." Dan Heng shook his head, explaining seriously.
"This jade badge was originally meant for you. And the future her will naturally have a new belonging."
Hearing these words, Chang Ye Yue visibly froze for a moment, the melancholy in her eyes gradually dispersing, then she smiled in relief, tone carrying a trace of teasing:
"You did remind me there. But... the General treats me this well, aren't you afraid I'll also get a foot in the door?"
Dan Heng froze for a moment, clearly not understanding her meaning, then explained seriously:
"You activated the device; your merit in this battle is not small; merits and rewards — what should be yours is yours."
"Hehe~" Chang Ye Yue chuckled lightly, voice pressed very low, carrying a trace of craftiness:
"Little Azure Dragon, that's not what I meant~"
"What did you say?" Dan Heng only vaguely heard her call him "Little Azure Dragon"; the rest of the words were too quiet to hear clearly, his brows furrowing tighter.
"En heng~ Nothing." Chang Ye Yue lightly tossed her pink hair, gaze glancing toward the sky, tone suddenly taking a turn.
"Yao Guang has come."
Dan Heng raised an eyebrow, a trace of doubt appearing on his face.
How would Yao Guang come to Shen Wu Xian Zhou?
You have to know, Xuan Ge ran off to play long ago and still hasn't returned to this day.
"Hehe~ Go take a look; I reckon it'll be another big show~"
Chang Ye finished speaking, said no more words, turned and walked toward the General's Mansion, pink hair drifting lightly in the wind.
"Ren."
Dan Heng spoke blandly, voice not big, yet carrying a force that brooked no doubt.
On the other side, Ren, who was chatting heatedly with Han Guang, heard Dan Heng's voice and instantly felt like he'd been doused with cold water.
The ease on his face sloughed off, his expression returning to its usual icy coldness.
He walked quickly to Dan Heng's front, cold eyes fixed on him, tone low, carrying a thread of impatience: "You'd better actually have business."
"Go to the General's Mansion." Dan Heng was concise and to the point; finishing speaking, he also turned and followed, strides crisp and decisive.
Ren stood in place, stunned for a few seconds, then realized——reckon Yao Guang has arrived.
He secretly cursed in his belly; recently Ai Li Ou has been eroded by beauty too deeply, making the Stellaron Hunters' script all messy stuff, no order at all.
One moment it's Xuan Ge's Shura field, the next they say Xuan Ge picked up a wife again, even had a child.
When Kafka heard Xuan Ge would bring a child, her feeling at that time was, calmly terrifying.
Ren muttered in a low voice: "Then I really do have to go take a look."
Finishing speaking, he hesitated no more, stepped out, hurried to catch up to Dan Heng's figure, walking toward the General's Mansion.
Han Guang stood in place, watching Dan Heng and Ren's departing backs, helplessly shook his head.
Lowered head to look at little Yun Li in his arms, tone carrying a thread of pleading, lightly teasing:
"Little Yun Li ah~ Promise Father, in the future absolutely must not touch blondes ah~"
This life he has no other extravagant wish, only hopes his own daughter can be safe and steady hereafter, absolutely must not encounter someone like the General.
This old father, really can't take it ah.
Although Xuan Ge isn't a blonde, speaking of skill at provoking flowers and grass, compared to those blondes in Xian Zhou storybooks who leave affection everywhere, he simply surpasses them without falling short.
"Who teaches a daughter like you do?"
Ye Li irritably patted her husband's back of the head, tone carrying a thread of spoiled complaint, then carefully took little Yun Li from Han Guang's arms.
She lowered her head to look at the soft little thing in her arms, voice instantly becoming incomparably gentle, softly coaxed:
"Yun er~ So cute~ If in the future you meet someone you like, don't rush, first see if he likes you, knows to cherish you or not, okay?"
Little Yun Li seemingly understanding yet not quite blinked her round big eyes.
Reached out a little hand, lightly touched Ye Li's cheek, mouth letting out "yiya" soft sounds, melting Ye Li's heart completely.
