Chapter 379 Xiao Wu: I have one friend; Dai Yun'er: I want to eat spicy rabbit head
Nanali rubbed her forehead and looked at Huo Yuhao pitifully.
Although she made a slightly nasal, coquettish sound, she didn't listen to it at all; instead, she was internally cursing.
It's all about elders! It's so exciting to defy your teachers and ancestors! That kind of taboo feeling is the best!
Moreover, their master already had an ambiguous relationship with Dai Yun'er, Wu Siduo, and others. Now, with the addition of Little Wu Ancestor, isn't this just the perfect set for a mahjong game?
If it weren't for the fact that they were still missing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Nanali, as her master's most considerate and virtuous wife, would have thought that she could have found a way to replicate the original Shrek Three Beauties so that her master could have a good time.
Wouldn't that scene be beautiful?
After thinking about it for a moment, Nanali's eyes darted around again, clearly having come up with some mischievous idea.
Xiao Wu, having completed the registration process, strode over.
Perhaps because she was by Huo Yuhao's side, the backlash from the Sea God's divine essence within her gradually subsided.
Xiao Wu's complexion was much rosier, and her energy and spirit were significantly better than before. She seemed to have returned to those carefree days of the past.
She waved energetically at Nanali and shouted with enthusiasm, "Alright, little Nanali, now take Sister Xiaowu to see my lovely juniors!"
Upon hearing this, Nanali immediately flashed her signature sweet smile and replied respectfully and obediently:
"Alright, Ancestor Xiaowu, let Little Bell guide you right away."
The first lesson is loyalty; the second is forbearance.
In any case, the most important task now is for her, Xiaolingdang, to gain Xiaowu's complete trust and infiltrate the enemy.
Only then can we proceed gradually, seek opportunities, and finally create conditions for our master to complete the great cause of defying our ancestors!
Xiao Wu originally wanted to leave directly with Nanali, but after taking two steps, she looked back and found that Huo Yuhao was still standing in the same place without moving.
This time, she didn't think much of it, and even boldly walked back, grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand, and said with a grin:
"Now that we're all on the same side, Lingbing, don't be so formal with me. From now on, Sister Xiaowu will look after you!"
Pulled by Xiao Wu's soft, boneless little hand, he was dragged towards the Soul Guidance Elevator without a word.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously touched the tip of his nose, looking at the overly cheerful figure in front of him, and could only give a wry smile.
……
Inside the private restaurant, soft lighting casts a warm glow over everything.
Xiao Wu sat on the sofa, her gaze never leaving the red and white dumpling sitting in the blond boy's lap.
Watching Huo Yuhao patiently and meticulously feed Jia Lin's little mouth spoonful after spoonful, especially the genuinely gentle smile on his face, Xiao Wu put aside her last bit of doubt.
She was now even more certain that the young man in front of her who called himself Ling Bing was definitely not Huo Yuhao.
After all, no matter what, considering the timeline, it's impossible for Huo Yuhao to have a child this old without anyone noticing.
Looking at the obedient little Jialin in Huo Yuhao's arms, Xiao Wu felt that the long-dormant maternal love in her heart was like a flame that had been rekindled, about to overflow her chest, and her heart was about to melt along with it.
My thoughts drifted back to the past.
Back then, Xiao Qi was only a tiny bit older than Xiao Jialin is now.
Driven by curiosity about the outside world, and with his third brother's tacit approval, he secretly descended to the mortal realm and arrived in the Douluo Continent.
At that time, I had absolute trust in my third brother and didn't think much about it. I even thought that this might be a kind of training for the child.
In the end, he only spent less than a month in the realm of gods.
When I saw my daughter again, the little girl who used to only know how to act spoiled had suddenly grown up. .
Even after experiencing so many trials and tribulations in the mortal realm that she couldn't participate in, she found a man she deeply loved.
Whenever she recalls these events, Xiao Wu's heart is always filled with unspeakable regret.
If only I had been more assertive back then, and ignored my third brother's advice to come to the Douluo Continent with Xiao Qi, even if it was just to grow up with her.
Perhaps, if those tragedies and irreparable mistakes hadn't happened, things wouldn't have come to this point.
Thinking this, a sense of desolation inevitably appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.
Xiao Wu's sudden change in mood naturally did not escape Huo Yuhao's notice, who had been keeping an eye on her.
Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly, and he roughly guessed what she was thinking.
He deliberately made his movements somewhat clumsy, then sighed very deliberately and said:
"Sigh, normally it's the child's mother who takes care of Jialin. Now, suddenly I'm the one taking care of her alone, which is really too difficult for me."
"If only there were a woman who knew how to take care of children, she could help me."
"I'll handle it; everything can be left to Sister Xiaowu."
Almost as soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Xiao Wu immediately took over the conversation.
She showed no embarrassment at having her true thoughts exposed, and even stood up impatiently, walked directly to Huo Yuhao, and skillfully and gently took Xiao Jialin from his arms.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a faint smile.
What he just said wasn't entirely a lie he made up to please Xiao Wu.
He had previously thought that since he had experience taking care of Xue Di when she was just born, taking care of Jia Lin shouldn't be too much of a problem, since they were both children.
But as it turns out, he was terribly wrong.
Compared to the naturally born ice and snow goddess, Jialin is a near-independent life form with more complex needs and emotions.
This makes Huo Yuhao, a half-baked father, sometimes feel particularly troubled.
Fortunately, most of the time, Yali takes excellent care of Jialin, so he doesn't need to worry about her at all.
Even now, due to special circumstances, Ya Li is still in a state of fusion with her spirit and cannot come out to personally take care of Jia Lin.
But she can also guide me step by step in the sea of wisdom, teaching me how to take care of my child.
As for Jialin...
As her father's most cherished daughter, she was naturally able to keenly perceive his complex emotional changes.
Moreover, Dad specifically entrusted himself to this beautiful new girl.
What does this mean?
Doesn't this clever little thing know?
Dad is clearly implying that she should take advantage of her cuteness to find a new wife for Dad and a loving stepmother for herself!
In this situation, Jialin was very cooperative and quickly became close to Xiaowu.
She snuggled against Xiao Wu's chest, letting out a soft, cheerful laugh, which made Xiao Wu unable to suppress her smile, radiating maternal warmth.
The more Xiao Wu liked Jia Lin's sensible and well-behaved nature, the stronger her inner distress became.
While gently stroking Jialin's soft hair, she couldn't help but say, "Lingbing, Sister Xiaowu doesn't know how much of what you just said was true and how much was false."
But no matter what, as a father, no matter how busy you are, you should still make time to take care of your child and accompany her as she grows up.
A child's growth happens only once; once missed, it can never be made up for.
As if to bolster the credibility of her words, Xiao Wu paused, staring intently at Huo Yuhao, and said in a low, melancholic tone:
"Once, a friend of Sister Xiaowu made the same mistake, which led to her life becoming a mess and leaving her with endless regrets..."
As Xiao Wu picked and chose, she recounted Tang Wutong's experiences in the mortal realm, half-truthfully and half-falsely.
And the little-known events that happened to her and Tang Wutong after the God Realm was shattered.
Huo Yuhao's smile gradually faded, and he eventually fell into a long silence.
Regarding the inside story of the shattering of the God Realm, in the Douluo Continent today, apart from a few high-ranking Soul Masters standing at the top of the pyramid who know a little bit about it.
The vast majority of ordinary soul masters and even low- to mid-level forces are completely unaware of this, and can only glean some clues from various rumors.
Perhaps this is why Xiao Wu used the lame excuse "I have a friend" as her opening line.
As for Huo Yuhao, listening to Xiao Wu's story, he felt a mix of emotions.
After experiencing it all over again and embarking on a completely different path, I now have more people around me who love me and who are worthy of my love.
Just as he always insisted, this was always just a personal grudge between him and Tang San.
However, this personal grudge will inevitably affect others in the end.
But Huo Yuhao asked himself honestly, and he did not regret the decision he made back then.
What he regrets even more is that he didn't see things clearly sooner and didn't make a decision sooner.
"...However, Sister Xiaowu doesn't think you, Lingbing, will follow in my old friend's footsteps. You seem much smarter than her, haha..."
Seeing the originally relaxed atmosphere fall into an awkward silence as the story became a bit heavy, Xiao Wu immediately realized that she seemed to have started a topic that was not suitable for casual conversation.
He let out a few dry laughs in a bit of panic, trying to gloss over the matter.
Huo Yuhao, however, did not take her advice. Instead, he looked intently at Xiao Wu and asked softly:
"So, Sister Xiaowu, do you think your friend hates the man who ruined her peaceful and tranquil life?"
"I have no idea."
The answer was exceptionally crisp, without the slightest hesitation.
And in Xiao Wu's big, watery eyes, a deep sense of confusion was also revealed.
"Zhuqing kept advising me that we need to look forward, let bygones be bygones, and that we can't live in the past all the time."
But it's like I've been abandoned by time in the past. No matter how hard I try, I feel trapped in the same place, unable to get out.
Whether I hate or not, it doesn't seem to be the right answer for me. After all, things ended up the way they were, and if we really have to look into it, we all bear some responsibility.
More than hatred, I feel sadness and self-blame. I blame myself for not noticing the signs sooner and for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a mother and an elder.
One of the reasons I came to Qiankun Asking Love Valley to see the Goddess of Love was to ask her in person and hope to get an answer from her.
At this point, Xiao Wu seemed to suddenly realize she had misspoke, quickly paused, waved her hand somewhat awkwardly, and emphasized:
"Oh dear, what Sister Xiaowu just said really only happened to one of my friends, and it has nothing to do with Sister Xiaowu herself!"
Don't make wild guesses and try to pin these things on me, or Sister Xiaowu will really get angry.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously touched the tip of his nose. He was indeed somewhat surprised to get this answer from Xiao Wu, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know what was wrong with her today, why she suddenly revealed these secrets that had been buried deep in her heart to a boy she had only recently met and who she had a slight liking for.
Is it really because I've been suppressing my feelings for too long and desperately need to confide in someone?
Just as Xiao Wu was trying to calm herself down and prepare to tease Jia Lin in her arms to distract her,
Accompanied by a flurry of footsteps, a clear shout came from outside the restaurant.
"Teacher Lingbing, I've decided on dinner tonight: I want spicy rabbit heads!"
"Spicy rabbit head?"
Xiao Wu watched as the blonde girl leaped from outside the restaurant and pounced on Huo Yuhao, clinging to him like a koala.
He froze instantly, unable to help but gasp in surprise:
"How could you eat a bunny? Bunnies are so cute, why would you eat them?"
"While bunnies are undeniably cute, they taste delicious! Their meat is tender and flavorful, so why can't we eat them?"
Dai Yun'er remained clinging to Huo Yuhao, not even raising her head, and retorted confidently.
She wasn't going to give Xiao Wu, who had suddenly appeared, a friendly look.
Especially just now outside, Nanali had secretly told them about that evil...
No, it should be an exceptionally righteous revenge plan.
If successful, Huo Yuhao will be able to get revenge on Xiao Wu.
Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
He couldn't understand it at all. Although Dai Yun'er was usually a bit willful and arrogant, she was at least sensible when it came to important matters.
Why did you act like you were on fire right from the start today, saying such frightening things in front of Xiao Wu?
He could only reach out and pat Dai Yun'er's head, his tone slightly reproachful, "Yun'er, don't be silly at a time like this. There are guests here. Come down quickly."
"I'm not being silly."
As she spoke, three purple soul rings suddenly appeared behind Dai Yun'er.
Amidst the dazzling light of the intertwined spirit rings, a golden light shone in her eyes, which were originally as blue as the sea.
Then he stared intently at Xiao Wu, his tone laced with provocation:
"Since you are Xiao Wu, you should know better than anyone what kind of martial soul I have, right?"
