Chapter 120: Mother's Here!

A Beast Emperor that can instantly kill the Sword Zun of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect—ahhh!

They actually said they want to ride it after it's brought out?

Who gave them the nerve?

Is it that Emperor Sovereign from Xi Ji?

Mo Xiaohu suddenly hit a snag, "But, if Beautiful Mother finds out, will she get angry?"

Fu Qianchen's tiny finger stroked their chin, feeling the same.

"But we have no other choice; we have to do it. Beautiful Mother is so understanding, gentle and generous… she certainly won't make things difficult for us cute and clever ones."

Mo Xiaohu again made her case.

Is it really like that?

Fu Qianchen expressed great doubt.

However, it seems this is the only way for now.

"You said earlier, what are you going to ride?"

As the two coincidentally prepared to act, a voice came from behind them.

The two fearless youngsters instantly widened their eyes, a sudden shiver.

The voice was familiar to the bone; even without looking, they could tell who was speaking.

They thought to themselves it was bad; their plan seemed to have been discovered by Mother!

The two's eyes rolled around.

"Beautiful Mother!"

"Piao Liang Niangqin!"

The two almost turned at the same time, their faces wearing a smile that was simultaneously dashing, charming, cute, and ingratiating.

Honestly, an ordinary person seeing such an adorable, delicate cutie, especially with their current obedient smile, would have their anger reduced by eight‑tenths even if they were furious; how could they still be angry at them?

But is Ye Qingran an ordinary person?

How can she not see that these two are deliberately trying to please her?

Do they really think she's foolish, letting them easily coax her?

Ye Qingran crossed her arms, looking at them with a half‑smile, saying nothing; her gaze was… scary, to be exact, scary to a baby.

"Beautiful Mother?"

"Piao Liang Niangqin?"

The two blinked, called out in a flattering tone, but dared not go forward.

"Tell me, what were you about to ride just now?"

The voice was very calm, not a hint of anger could be heard.

But the two clearly felt the raging storm behind the placid surface.

The two's bright smiles gradually froze.

Wuwu, Mother is angry—what to do?

Mo Xiaohu said instinctively, and Fu Qianchen's elbow bumped Mo Xiaohu again.

Mo Xiaohu's back broke into cold sweat and quietly asked Fu Qianchen what to do.

"How would I know!"

Fu Qianchen said they had never encountered such a situation from childhood to now.

If it were his father, he wouldn't be scared at all, but with Piao Liang Niangqin, he's completely at a loss.

"You're not saying anything, are you?"

"Oh hehe, nothing, we were just discussing that once Xiao Huihui grows up, we'll ride it for fun…"

Mo Xiaohu scratched his head, mustering the courage to speak.

He, who never lies, moved extremely stiff and unnatural.

"Yes, Xiao Huihui is a Vermilion Bird of the Pure Ancient Bloodline; when grown, it will only be ridden by its little master!"

As Mo Xiaohu's die‑hard fan, Xiao Huihui declared unconditional support for the little master!

Ye Qingran glared at it, "None of your business!"

Xiao Huihui pouted, clearly unhappy.

Demoness, why are you being so fierce?

"Your nerve is quite bold, you've even learned to lie."

Ye Qingran took a few steps forward, "Xiao Huihui, you speak. If you dare lie, I'll roast this sparrow of yours and give it to Xiao Yin as a snack!"

Xiao Huihui was extremely shocked.

Why target it?

It's just an innocent sparrow… not… a Vermilion Bird!

Facing Ye Qingran's half‑smile, Xiao Huihui thought the woman before her was literally a demoness!

Too cruel!

"Will you speak or not?!"

With a suddenly heavier tone, it frightened Xiao Huihui, whose body trembled, and almost with eyes closed blurted out: "It's the Emerald Water Jiao Dragon; they want to ride the Emerald Water Jiao Dragon!"

"Emerald Water Jiao Dragon?"

Mo Xiaohu: "……"

Fu Qianchen: "……"

Idiot Xiao Huihui!

Ye Qingran nodded in understanding, "So it's the Emerald Water Jiao Dragon. If I remember correctly, that's a Beast Emperor."

When she uttered the words "Beast Emperor", Ye Qingran's tone obviously sank eight degrees.

She was truly angry at this moment.

"Beast Emperor, what realm is that?"

Xuan Master, Xuan King, Xuan Sect, Xuan Lord, Xuan Venerable, Xuan Emperor.

Among these six realms, Xuan Emperor is the pinnacle.

Moreover, spirit beasts are inherently stronger than humans; a Beast Emperor is thus a far more terrifying existence than a human Xuan Emperor.

Even she, alone, is no match for a Beast Emperor!

These two brats, although they have some ability, are only five years old—how could they be a match for a Beast Emperor?

If he had come late today, would they really have gone to Han Tan to look for the Emerald Water Jiao Dragon?

If anything happened to them… Ye Qingran didn't even dare to think about it; just the thought made her feel suffocated.

"We were wrong."

The two cute treasures lowered their heads, standing there obediently.

Ye Qingran lowered her gaze to look at them.

The two little ones are really small.

Their height barely reaches her thigh.

They're all dirty, clothes torn and ragged, faces grimy—did they just come from the Beggars' Sect?

Although her heart had already softened greatly upon seeing their attitude.

But she knew she couldn't indulge them.

Although they are truly excellent, they are still too immature. If we continue to indulge them, it would harm them. Today, she must make them learn a lesson!

"What did we do wrong?"

Ye Qingran's tone was cold and hard, like the frost of winter.

"The mistake lies in being overconfident."

"The mistake lies in not correctly recognizing one's own abilities."

……

Their voices were a bit muffled.

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingran's heart softened instead.

Forget it, as long as they know they were wrong.

"Remember this well!"

"We won't dare do it again next time!"

"You still want there to be a next time?"

……

"Come here."

Upon hearing this, both of them instinctively lifted their heads.

"Didn't you hear?"

The two nodded like chicks pecking at grain, then, with their short little legs, they lunged at Ye Qingran like swallows returning to their nests.

Ye Qingran squatted down; seeing this, the two's faces lit up with joy again, and without a word they rushed into her left and right arms, affectionately rubbing against her, soon soiling her clean clothes.

Ye Qingran didn't mind either, taking a cloth from the Shen Nong Space to wipe their faces.

Not long after, the two dirty little rascals regained their former delicate handsomeness.

In the moment Fu Qianchen raised his head, he noticed Wuhen beside him.

He glanced, looked away, then looked back.

Wuhen lowered his eyes and met his gaze.

For a moment, they stared at each other, big eyes to small eyes.

Huh?

Fu Qianchen furrowed his handsome brows, falling into thought.

"This uncle, how does he look somewhat like Father Lord? But he doesn't resemble him at all!"

Mo Xiaohu also saw this uncle and innocently asked, "Piao Liang Niangqin, is this the father you found for me?"

Upon saying that, the atmosphere fell into silence.

Ye Qingran's hand paused, her mouth twitched, she looked at Mo Xiaohu for a moment, then lifted her gaze to Wuhen.

Wuhen happened to also look at her, and for a moment their gazes met again.

His gaze was deep and profound, like the abyss, saying nothing, as if waiting for her answer.

Before Ye Qingran could answer, they heard Fu Qianchen hastily say, "Piao Liang Niangqin, if you have him, what about my Father Lord?"

Ye Qingran: "……"

Good heavens, what kind of situation is this?!

It's as if she's juggling several boats!

Ye Qingran wanted to retort, "What does your Father Lord have to do with me?" but she thought it would be too hurtful to Fu Qianchen, so she pretended not to hear.

"This is Uncle Wuhen, hurry and call him uncle."

"Hello, Uncle Wuhen!"

Wuhen: "……"

Being called uncle by a child always feels a bit strange.

Does this count as him picking up a stone and hitting his own foot?

He responded with a very cold 'hmm'.

Ahhh, how cute, how pretty!

Beside her, Xia Meng could no longer contain her surging, excited feelings; her eyes were as if holding two suns, shining astonishingly.

Ying ying ying~

In this world, how can there be such a cute, exquisite, handsome, well-behaved, charming... baby?
