I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

“That battle just now was not easy. Miss, you should rest for a while. I will wake you up when we get back to town.”

"Um... Well... thank you, Mr. Bai..."

Having escaped danger and returned to a peaceful life, the aftereffects of the battle suddenly appeared; the constant fatigue and pain made her drowsy.

Mr. Bai is very reliable, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to take a nap...

With this thought in mind, the little Qilin nestled on his back and fell into a deep sleep.

"What a child... What would you do if I had ill intentions?"

Bai Zhou chuckled softly, supporting the little Qilin's legs and carrying her slowly down the mountain.

The Jin man, carrying phosphorescent fire and Yan Chou on his back, silently followed behind them.

……

"So... Mr. Bai is not..."

"Who?"

The doctor looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about when to go and pay my respects to the deity."

The girl really wanted to slap herself on the mountain. Had she been struck by lightning and lost her mind? How could she have mistaken such an obvious feature?

Mr. Bai must have thought she was hilarious back then...so embarrassing...

Looking at the friend's nickname in the celestial book, the girl hesitated for a long time before finally typing out a greeting.

Mr. Bai, have you eaten?

Tsk! Am I an idiot?!

The girl patted herself under the doctor's questioning gaze.

"Lord Shaoqing... even if you didn't get to see the Divine Lord's true face, there's no need to torture your precious body like this. Besides, even if you did see it, you'd forget it. We're not the Divine Dragon Venerables, so there's no need to worry about it..."

How could I forget!

At this moment, the girl still clearly remembered the smiling face of Mr. Bai.

Just thinking about it makes me feel like a gentle breeze is blowing on my face, it's so comfortable...

And I actually asked such a stupid question just now...

"drop!"

The girl grabbed her phone the moment it vibrated.

[It seems the young lady has woken up. How was your rest? Do you feel unwell?]

Mr. Bai hadn't had lunch yet. He wandered the streets alone, unsure what to eat, his mouth agape in frustration.

Do you have any recommendations, young lady?

Oh dear, the deity is asking a question! Use your little brain!

The girl with the Qilin was flustered for a while, but after thinking for a long time, she came up with a dish that she thought was great.

Hope the deity likes it. (jpg)

Since this is something the young lady highly recommends, then I, Bai, must try it.

Is this the end of the conversation? Will there be another time to chat?

The girl pursed her lips, then mustered her courage and extended an invitation: "The capital city has many delicious foods. Mr. Bai, if you ever pass through the capital, why not come and find me? I'll definitely give you a wonderful experience (praying)."

Hmm... How could I be so stupid again? The Divine Lord's Guanyu is right here in the Divine Capital! How could I possibly know more about the Divine Capital than the Divine Lord!

Just as the girl was struggling with her decision, a new message immediately caught her attention.

【Thank you for your kind invitation, young lady. I will be grateful for your help then, but I hope you won't think I'm greedy.】

"Great!"

The girl's startled behavior filled the doctor standing nearby with worry.

This child... I hope he didn't hurt his head.

Returning to the Seventy-One Sisters' Affection (1)

"Oh, our ancestor! You're back!"

As soon as Youlong got home, he saw Baizhou sitting on the sofa drinking tea and eating snacks. The little girl happily threw her schoolbag aside and came to his side.

How has Huijie been these past few days?

Bai Zhou gently patted the little girl's head and softly asked her about her life these past few days.

"very good……"

Although her eating habits were a bit irregular, Aunt Nian was doing it for her own good, so Youlong didn't mention that the two of them were eating out every two or three days and even going to the amusement park one day.

"That's good."

"Hmm, how has the old master been these days?"

The little girl asked with concern. Bai Zhou saw the curiosity in the girl's eyes and knew that the little one wanted to hear him tell a story, so he did not refuse. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and began to tell about some interesting things that had happened outside in the past two days.

"Wow! A 16-year-old junior official! That's amazing!"

Although the young girl didn't know how high a rank a junior official was, she already admired him immensely just because he was 16 years old.

"My sister is the same; she's already started developing her own career..."

The young dragon couldn't help but compare his older sister to that young minister, and then felt a little sad to find that his sister seemed to be less capable than that young minister now.

“Xiao Ta and Jing Zhe are on different paths. Although Xiao Ta started a little slower, she will achieve even greater things after she succeeds. Hui Jie will also grow up and become an adult that even our ancestors can rely on.”

He gently patted the little one's head, encouraging her during the day.

"Ok!"

The little one responded and then snuggled up to him quietly as he told stories. When the story got interesting, the little one would cheer and clap, his adorable appearance making Bai Zhou happy too.

"Hmph, Xiao Huijie is so cunning, she actually secretly took over Xiaobai."

Just as the story was getting exciting, Nian suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the little one from behind the sofa, and began to squish her little face.

"Ancestor... old..."

The little guy struggled to ask him for help, but Nian bit his cheek and pressed him down on the sofa to rub him.

"Really..."

Xi ignored Nian for bullying the child and sat down on the other side of Bai Zhou.

"Will we encounter any danger on this trip?"

Bai Zhou gently took her hand and shook his head.

"I just encountered a poor person whose mind had been bewitched; there was no other danger."

"That's good."

With her worries soothed, Xi didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, Xiaobai, you brought that knife back, right?"

She released the panting little guy and then asked him a question. But the little guy she had just let go of turned his back on her.

"Mmm...good girl, good girl."

Bai Zhou hugged the little dragon who was drooling all over her face as she rushed towards him, laughing as she wiped the drool off her little face with a tissue.

"..."

Young snorted, but instead of squeezing through, he hugged Bai Zhou from behind the sofa and bit Bai Zhou's tail, which was draped over the back of the sofa, to show his displeasure.

"Give me that knife tomorrow and I'll have it reforged to prevent it from harming anyone again."

Why tomorrow?

Xi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Because it's Tuesday, and I'm going to spend the whole evening with my dear Xiaobai, Benxi."

He turned his head and stuck out his tongue at her, then gave her a sly smile and said...

"……boring."

Xi thought she could give some reason, but this was all she could come up with?

"Don't give her too many treats."

To prevent tomorrow from showing off and being smug, Xi warned Bai Zhou with a stern face.

"Sigh, why should we? You have no idea what we're going to do."

Before Xi could answer, Nian had already gone too far, startling the three of them with a loud "mua~".

"I...I'm going to do my homework."

Before the war broke out, the young dragon decisively chose to run away, grabbing its schoolbag and scurrying back to its room.

"..."

Xi stared at her expressionlessly for a long time, then stood up and walked towards her room.

Although she didn't say a word, the murderous glint in her eyes was impossible to hide.

"Sister..."

Bai Zhou touched his cheek, looking at Xi's departing figure with some worry.

They'll probably get hammered at the company's annual meeting tomorrow...

"Hey, please, Xiaobai, try your best to make her happy tomorrow. I'm entrusting my life to you."

Nian nuzzled his cheek, completely unconcerned about what tomorrow would bring.

At worst, she could help push, relieving some of the pressure on Xi. With such a deep sisterly bond, would Xi really kill her?

"Now... Little White, play with me!"
