This villain is too popular.

Chapter 306 A good night's sleep will fix everything

Amidst the scrolling of the dimensional bullet comments, the scene from the theatrical version temporarily focused on Tiandao.

This is also the first time that the production team of Qunxing has publicly revealed information about Tiandao's family.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Xiaotiandao pushed open the mottled wooden door, and warm light instantly flooded out.

The living room wasn't big, and the furniture was a bit old, but it was kept very clean. On the coffee table were freshly washed grapes, which looked crystal clear and very sweet.

Upon hearing Xiaotiandao's words, an elderly woman with gray hair walked out of the kitchen, wearing a blue apron and a kind smile on her face.

"Little Tiandao, you're back? Quickly wash your hands, Grandma has made some pork rib soup, it'll be ready soon."

"Okay, grandma."

Tiandao put down his schoolbag, walked to the sink, and carefully washed his hands.

His movements were very precise, even the order in which he rubbed his hands remained unchanged, as if he were performing some kind of procedure.

The old lady looked at him, smiled, shook her head, and turned back to the kitchen to continue her work.

"Wash it slowly, don't rush. I put your favorite corn in the pork rib soup. It will be ready to drink in ten more minutes."

Tendou nodded, then left the kitchen, skillfully picked up the remote control on the table, switched the TV to a tokusatsu channel, and sat down on the sofa to watch.

On the screen, a hero in red armor was fighting a monster. As the light and shadow flickered, Xiao Tiandao's eyes lit up, and he even straightened his posture, watching with great concentration.

At this moment, he was completely devoid of the arrogance that would later develop, treating everyone as a passerby; he was simply an ordinary child who was fascinated by tokusatsu heroes.

The clanging and banging sounds from the kitchen, mixed with the aroma of pork rib soup, mingled with the fighting sounds from the television and the whirring of the ceiling fan, creating a warm and cozy everyday scene.

"Laotian watched tokusatsu shows when he was a kid, and so did I. So, rounding up, there's practically no difference between us."

'So Tiandao lived with his grandma when he was little! How heartwarming!'

'Grandma is so kind! Pork rib soup with corn sounds delicious!'

'Tiandao looks so cute eating grapes! Completely different from the pretentious 'show-off' types these days!'

'Thinking about it carefully, if we don't have the Star Source, watching Starry Night as just a slice-of-life inspirational anime doesn't seem so bad.'

'An inspirational anime? Are you sure there's a monster like Lao Tian? How can this anime be inspirational?'

"No effort whatsoever, just pure talent."

After the scene of the Heavenly Dao ended, the next scene showed the family situation of the siblings Chen Xing and Chen Kong.

Similar to the situation on the other side, since it was already dinnertime, the siblings Chen Xing and Chen Kong were also having dinner at their home.

On the rectangular dining table, there were three dishes and a soup.

Chenxing and Chenkong sat on small stools, their eyes sparkling as they stared at their father not far away.

Seeing the expectant looks in his two little ones' eyes, Chen's father put down his chopsticks, patted his chest, and spoke with great pride.

"I have great news for you! My business has been picking up recently, and soon we'll be able to move into a bigger house!"

"Wow!"

Chenxing suddenly jumped up, her twin ponytails swaying incessantly.

"I want a princess room! Pink wallpaper, and lots of dolls!"

Chen Kong nodded in agreement, saying excitedly, "Then I want the arcade! Lots of game discs!"

“It’s all there!”

Mr. Chen grinned from ear to ear, patting his chest repeatedly to assure him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen's mother gently patted his back and scolded him, "Stop talking about such unrealistic things. Let's focus on living our lives right now."

She said that, but there was a smile in her eyes, and she secretly put a piece of meat in the bowls of the two children.

The family's laughter, mingled with the aroma of food, drifted out of the window.

At this moment, they have no idea what the future holds; they are simply immersed in the small anticipation of moving to a bigger house—simple yet blissful.

Just when the audience thought the next scene would be a heartwarming family scene with Kagami Ruri, the movie suddenly went dark, as if hinting at something.

The curtains in the cramped room were drawn tightly shut.

Little Liuli curled up on the tattered bed, wrapped herself up in the blanket like a little ball, and hugged the pillow tightly with both hands, not daring to show her head. At the window not far from Little Liuli, the ferocious shadows of star beasts flashed by from time to time.

The rustling noises frightened Xiao Liuli, who was trembling all over in the room.

She hugged her pillow tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but dared not cry out, and could only bury her face in the blanket.

Just as the shadow outside the window faded and everyone thought Xiao Liuli was safe, the window was suddenly pushed open with a bang.

Then, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared at the window, excitedly staring at the little dumpling on the bed.

It rolled into the room, its tall body blocking out the moonlight behind it, and the shadow completely covered Xiao Liuli's figure.

Seeing that Xiao Liuli was powerless to resist, the monster's sharp claws reached for the blanket, fierce and cruel.

At this critical moment, a cold light flashed!
The star beast's head fell to the ground with a thud.

The sudden commotion startled Xiao Liuli so much that she froze and dared not show her face.

The expected terrifying sound did not appear; instead, a gentle voice was heard.

"Come out, little one, it's alright now."

Hearing the noise outside, Xiao Liuli slowly lifted the blanket, and what came into view was a woman wearing a black tactical uniform.

This person was none other than Yunmeng, the future instructor of the Children of the Stars.

Beside Yunmeng stood a silver-haired boy with an expressionless face, Tiandao.

Yunmeng looked at Xiaoliuli, whose face was filled with fear, with a strange look in her eyes.

"Strange, why am I so lucky today? I just took a stroll and found two little guys whose innate star energy is almost overflowing. Could today be my lucky day?"

As Yunmeng spoke, she came to the side of Xiao Liuli's bed and squatted down.

She looked at the trembling Xiao Liuli, skillfully took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket, and handed it to her.

"Eat up, little one. After you finish eating, take a nap. You'll be fine when you wake up."

Little Liuli timidly took the candy, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

The sweet scent of oranges spread, and suddenly tears streamed down her face.

"Will sleeping it off really make everything alright?"

Yunmeng smiled and nodded, then gently picked her up: "Of course, I would never lie."

Xiao Liuli leaned against Yunmeng's chest, smelling the faint floral fragrance on her body. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she soon fell asleep.

Even when she was asleep, her little hands still gripped Yunmeng's clothes tightly, as if she was afraid of being left behind.

Looking at the sleeping Xiao Liuli, Yunmeng turned to Tiandao beside her and asked meaningfully, "Little Tiandao, what do you think of this child?"

Faced with Yunmeng's question, Tiandao first glanced at the corpse of the star beast that Yunmeng had instantly killed on the ground, then looked at Xiao Liuli in her arms, and after thinking for a moment, gave his answer.

"She has a talent that is hard for ordinary people to imagine."

"I think so."

Yunmeng smiled, picked up Xiao Liuli and walked towards the door. Xiao Tiandao followed behind her. The moonlight stretched their shadows long, and they slowly disappeared into the darkness.

The subsequent scenes did not show Yunmeng and Xiaotiandao fighting, but the occasional screams of the star beasts made it clear.

In the ruins of this city overrun by the Good Star Beasts, these two are among the few 'monsters' who can move freely in this dangerous area.

[Dimensional Bullet Comment Section]

'The star beast's eyes scared me to death! Thank goodness Yunmeng came!'

'Yunmeng is so kind! She even brought candy for Xiaoliuli!'

'So Tiandao and Liuli met when they were kids! The production team planted this foreshadowing so deeply!'

'Little Liuli cried while eating candy, and my heart ached for her! Thankfully, Yunmeng came to her rescue!'

So, does Yunmeng specifically seek out children with strong innate star energy? This feels like there's a major plot development coming!

PS: That concludes today's update. I'll stabilize the update schedule first, and then gradually catch up later.
