My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

Millions of people in the Great Flame Kingdom watched the mountain of clothes piled up in the sky, saw the sales assistants' smiles go from surprise to ecstasy to near-convulsions, watched Lin Ye swipe his card without even lifting an eyelid, and listened to the noise of their own children crying or making a fuss beside them. Only one thought occupied their minds—

This is unbearable!

……

Finally, at the last shop at the end of the corridor, Lin Ye walked out with Xiao Douzi in his hand, followed by the shop assistants who respectfully saw him off.

The little girl was holding a snow-white plush goose doll that was almost half her body size—it was a free gift from the shop assistant when she checked out at the store.

Her little face was flushed, and a few strands of her bangs were damp with sweat, sticking to her smooth forehead, but her big eyes were surprisingly bright, still full of lingering curiosity and joy.

She held the goose tightly with one arm, while Lin Ye held her other hand firmly as they walked out of the last shop at the end of the road.

"Little Douzi, that's about enough." Lin Ye stopped and spoke gently.

He then crouched down, his gaze level with Xiaodouzi's, and gently brushed her sweaty bangs behind her ear, his tone filled with undisguised doting and casualness: "Let's buy this much for today. Clothes come in new styles every season. When they come out in a while, your godfather will take you to buy more."

……

These few light, casual words, brimming with an air of self-importance and composure, pierced through the sky and struck the ears of every person in the Great Flame Kingdom.

The sight of countless people who were just stunned speechless by the exorbitant bills and mountains of clothes caused them to feel a sudden tightness in their chests and shortness of breath.

This...this is called "a little bit"?!

After a brief silence, the comments section erupted as if a choke had finally been released, bursting into a cacophony of hoarse, incoherent wails and shouts.

[Sun, the owner of the clothing shop: A... a little bit!? My shop's inventory for three years probably doesn't even amount to half of this "little bit"!]

[Commoner Zhao Daya: ...A little bit!? This is what you call "a little bit"?]

[People's Wednesday: Over a dozen stores! Hundreds of items! He calls this "a little bit"?!? He's insane! Absolutely insane!]

[Commoner Sun Da: They release new styles every quarter... Buy them every quarter? How many would you buy in a year?]

……

The comments section was filled with wailing.

It was a pure, soul-deep sense of powerlessness.

It's like watching someone fly in the sky while you're crawling on all fours on the ground; you don't even have the energy to feel envious or jealous.

However, before everyone could recover from this outrageously extravagant consumerism, Lin Ye's next words were like a raging fire, instantly igniting the burning flame of "curiosity" in everyone's hearts, especially in the hearts of all the children!

"However—" Lin Ye deliberately dragged out his words, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Douzi's eyes, which had dimmed with disappointment, suddenly brighten again. She turned to look at him, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Lin Ye smiled, gently tapping her little nose with his fingertip, and said mysteriously, "Now, how about your godfather takes you to a fun place?"

"Okay! Godfather will take Little Douzi to a fun place!" Little Douzi wrapped her arms around Lin Ye's neck, her voice crisp and clear. She bounced in Lin Ye's arms and almost tripped over herself.

Lin Ye quickly picked her up and hugged her tightly, then walked with a smile to the other end of the corridor.

……

Fun places to go?

The children of the Great Flame Kingdom were instantly captivated by those words, their souls soaring to the highest heavens.

Even the adults couldn't help but forget their shock and bitterness. They craned their necks, widened their eyes, held their breath, and stared intently at the sky, afraid of missing any of the next scenes.

What kind of fun places are there?

Meanwhile, on Suzaku Avenue...

Yao Jingyuan, carrying Shu Rou, squeezed out from in front of a juggling stall surrounded by a crowd.

Shu Rou was held in Yao Jingyuan's arms. The tear stains on her little face had dried, and although there were still some redness and swelling, her big eyes had regained some light. She was staring intently at a colorful windmill that Yao Jingyuan had just bought for her.

The windmill whirred in the cold wind, casting a spinning shadow in the sunlight.

"Rou'er, look how fast the windmill is spinning." Yao Jingyuan said to his daughter, pointing to the windmill with a smile on his face and deliberately speaking in a gentle voice.

His heart was still pounding wildly from the lingering fear of what had just happened, and the cold sweat on his back seemed not yet dry. But at this moment, he had to, and barely managed to, maintain the dignity of a "benevolent father."

Not long ago, Yao Jingyuan almost swore an oath and made a promise to cut off his own flesh to barely stop his daughter's shrill and piercing cries.

"Make four sets of clothes from Ruijinfang for Rou'er! Also, give Rou'er the Floating Light Brocade and Cloud-like Satin that your mother bestowed upon your father! Find the best embroiderers in the palace! Have them made immediately!"

"And as long as Rou'er stops crying, Daddy will take Rou'er to the most fun place! To see the most exciting variety shows!"

These were the most tempting bargaining chips he offered.

Perhaps it was the "most fun place" and "a bunch of toys" that temporarily diverted Shu Rou's attention, and the crying that almost lifted the roof finally subsided with Shu Rou's sobbing "Really?"

Standing on the bustling streets of West Market, feeling his daughter in his arms become happy again and start playing with her new gadgets, Yao Jingyuan's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally slowly settled down.

He suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion, but more than that, he felt a sense of relief and a faint sense of pride that belonged to the "noble family of the heavens" that had returned to his heart.

"That's right," he thought.

No matter how much the demons on the sky flaunt their wealth, or create those bizarre costumes and self-running staircases, they are ultimately just illusory images, bewitching sorcery!

Yao Jingyuan's daughter, the noble princess of the Great Flame Kingdom, enjoys the real, vibrant prosperity and excitement of the imperial capital!

The various performances in the West Market, the bustling streets, and the everyday life of ordinary people—that's true happiness!

No matter how comfortable those clothes are, they are still just clothes. Can they compare to the joy of this live, hands-on juggling performance?

What could compare to the rare and precious things he was going to take Rou'er to buy in the Linglong Pavilion?

The slight pang of guilt he felt for making that promise was somewhat lessened by the renewed sense of superiority he felt.

He hugged his daughter tightly and pointed to a tea stall ahead, where the view was good and he could clearly see another fire-breathing performance stall.

"Rou'er, come on, let's sit over there. We can see fire-breathing from there." Yao Jingyuan's tone was solicitous, with obvious flattery. It seemed that his previous outburst of anger, which almost suffocated Shu Rou, had made him somewhat cautious around her now.

Shu Rou was captivated by the constantly spinning windmill when she heard this. She looked up at Yao Jingyuan, nodded reservedly, and gave a heavy "hmm" sound.

Yao Jingyuan felt much more at ease, and the smile on his face became more genuine.

He carried Shurou to the tea stall, and as soon as he sat down on a bench and ordered the waiter to bring tea and snacks, his gaze habitually swept towards the sky—

The people inside seemed to have just finished shopping and were saying something like, "Let's play first, then buy toys."

"Ha," Yao Jingyuan scoffed inwardly once more.

Play? What kind of fun can you possibly have?

He wanted to see what else this sorcerer could conjure up!

However, just as his gaze turned to the sky, before the mocking smile on his lips could even fully form—

The scene on the sky suddenly changed without warning!
