Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

Hall.

Chi Buwan sat opposite Chi Shuyan, and Xiao Wuli sat next to him. There was a table between them, on which was brewing the finest tea.

Chi Shuyan poured himself a cup of tea and took two sips.

Xiao Wuli poured two cups of tea, handing one to Chi Buwan and placing the other in front of himself.

Holding his teacup, Chi Buwan said, "Dad, if you keep putting on airs, I'm telling Mom."

"puff--"

Chi Shuyan spat out the tea he was drinking and immediately stood up in a panic: "You child, you still haven't changed your tattletale ways!"

Chi Buwan gave a soft hum and turned his head to look elsewhere.

Slow and sparse:.........

He should have listened to his wife back then, and given her a good beating when necessary.

But...

Chi Shuyan paused, looking at the child who resembled his wife by about 70%.

I can't bring myself to do it.

Chi Shuyan said, "So protective of his own? I didn't do anything to him!"

"That's emotional abuse," Chi Buwan argued eloquently. "He's my boyfriend. If I don't protect him after he's with me, who will?"

Chi Shuyan looked at the Soul-Slaying God beside him.

Whom should we protect?

Even though he had never met the Soul Killer God, he had heard of the reputation of the previous Soul Killer God.

With formidable strength and unfathomable divine power, he controls life and death in the mortal realm. Although he does not reside in the Star Sea, he is already a well-known figure in this region.

Not too late: "Dad!"

"Alright, I got it." Chi Shuyan conceded. "Have you eaten yet? Want to try your father's cooking?"

Chi Buwan nodded in satisfaction and said, "I want it."

Chi Shuyan looked at Xiao Wuli and asked, "What do you like to eat?"

Xiao Wuli curled his fingers, pursed his lips, and said, "Peach blossom pastry."

Old man:............

Who exactly said back then that they "never liked peach blossom pastries"?

Chi Shuyan nodded, got up and walked outside.

Only Chi Buwan and Xiao Wuli remained in the hall; 337 had been called away by the main god when he entered.

Chi Buwan turned her head to look at Xiao Wuli and found him secretly looking at her with those bright, adoring black eyes.

cute.

Chi Buwan beckoned to him with his long, slender fingers, and Xiao Wuli moved closer, pressing his chin against Chi Buwan's fingers.

Chi Buwan gently lifted his fingertips, without much force, but Xiao Wuli's chin was still lifted by him. He smiled and leaned in to gently kiss Xiao Wuli's thin lips.

Xiao Wuli's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tips of her ears turned red.

"Master..."

Chi Buwan put down his hand, rubbed his head, and said, "With your master here, don't be afraid."

Xiao Wuli nodded. "Mm."

Old man: ...........

The old man gritted his teeth, his fingers twisted, his jealousy written all over his face.

On what grounds?

Why should I?!

Why? Why?!

.

"Father, why is the incantation for summoning you with the Long-Handed Sword you left me so long?"

Chi Buwan and Xiao Wuli came to the kitchen to help Chi Shuyan.

He sat down in the chair and asked a question.

The delayed development of steamed peach blossom pastry:............

Chi Shuyan looked at Chi Buwan, who had said he was going to help but had remained seated without moving an inch, and replied, "I'm afraid that if it's too short, you'll just call me over during a normal sparring session."

Upon hearing this, Chi Buwan nodded in agreement.

indeed.

Back when he fought the three-headed serpent, if the incantation hadn't been so long, he would have summoned it directly.

If Old Deng had been summoned back then, he and Xiao Wuli would have surely died in that battle at the bottom of the forest abyss against the all-out attack of Canglongyuan.

Chi Buwan sat up straight. "That's way too long! I'd be dead by the time I summoned you."

Chi Shuyan: "If your soul hadn't been taken away by the little dumpling, I could have resurrected you."

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Chi Buwan frowned. "It caused me to be separated from Wuli for eight years."

Delayed and sparse:............

Who did his son inherit his obsession with romance from?

...It must be because of his wife, after all, his wife loves him so much.

Chi Shuyan glanced at Xiao Wuli, who was diligently learning how to make peach blossom pastries but was also listening intently to their conversation, and said, "Can you be sure of your feelings if we don't separate?"

He was also present when 337 returned to the main temple to report the mission. He had always known that his son was slow to understand, but he never expected him to be this slow.

They all protected him, but he just stood there thinking that Xiao Wuli wanted to kill him.

After much deliberation, Chi Buwan nodded.

Also.

If he hadn't witnessed the affectionate relationship between Liu Yuye and Sheng Weichen, this master and disciple pair, for over a month, subtly influencing him, he wouldn't have been able to perceive anything due to his straight male mindset back then.

Perhaps everything happens for a reason.
