Gu Sinian let Qi Zhenzhen pinch his face, a faint smile on his lips, and he gazed intently at Sui An, who was sleeping soundly.
The little girl truly changed by the day.
And became more beautiful each day.
Well, he hadn't seen anyone more beautiful than Sui An. Although, he had seen very few children.
Perhaps sensing someone staring at her, Gu Sui An, who was sleeping soundly, opened her eyes.
She excitedly kicked her little feet, and the swaddle that had been neatly wrapped around her came undone.
"She's very excited to see you," Qi Zhenzhen said, tucking the swaddle back around Gu Sui An and gently touching her little nose.
"Didn't you say she couldn't see?" Gu Sinian asked.
"She can't see far away, but she can see what's in front of her, though only in black and white," Qi Zhenzhen replied.
Hearing this, Gu Sinian immediately tidied his hair and adjusted his clothes.
Qi Zhenzhen found him hilarious. "She can see, but she probably doesn't know what you're doing. She's so young, she wouldn't think that much."
Gu Sui An: No, I do think that much. My father is a rare and handsome man. And a man who pays attention to his appearance.
"Eh, why is she drooling?" Qi Zhenzhen took a bib and gently wiped the corner of Gu Sui An's mouth.
Gu Sui An: Of course, it's because he's too handsome to resist.
Neither Qi Zhenzhen nor Gu Sinian could have imagined that the jade pendant gifted by Qi Tianming had an extraordinary origin. It contained the soul of a powerful being. This being had been in a deep slumber, but awoke when Qi Tianming gave it to Gu Sui An. For some reason, she couldn't make herself known to others. Only a newborn infant could sense her presence, but how could a baby understand what she was saying? Thus, the powerful being used a little trick to awaken Gu Sui An's intelligence.
She had intended to awaken it only slightly, but after not using her abilities for a long time, she lost control and awakened it a bit too much.
What was most critical was that this powerful being had a penchant for beautiful things, a preference that Gu Sui An had perfectly inherited.
"Your father's appearance is something you wouldn't find even in our Immortal Realm," the powerful being sighed.
Indeed, the powerful being told Gu Sui An that she was an immortal, a celestial being that only Gu Sui An could perceive.
"Then your Immortal Realm people are too pitiful, not even having a decent handsome man. Our mortal realm is much better," Gu Sui An said.
Of course, their conversation took place within the sea of consciousness.
"That's why I descended to the mortal realm," the powerful being said.
"Did you descend alone?" Gu Sui An asked.
The powerful being: That, I don't know. Anyway, I descended.
Gu Sui An yawned, blinked a few times, and then closed her eyes again.
The sea of consciousness became quiet. The powerful being sighed. Although she had awakened the child's intelligence, she couldn't strengthen her body. For twelve hours a day, the little girl slept for eight, and her waking hours were short. She still needed to nurse, and she had to look at her mother and her father.
The time left for her was so little, so lonely.
Seeing that his daughter had fallen asleep, Gu Sinian's movements became much gentler. Qi Zhenzhen also yawned. Gu Sinian tucked the corner of the blanket around her and said softly, "You sleep. I'll go out after you do."
Qi Zhenzhen closed her eyes, and soon her breathing became even.
"Not only is he good-looking, but he's also a devoted lover," the powerful being murmured to herself. She could sense that this man's heart was filled entirely with the little girl's mother.
Where could one find such a high-quality handsome man in the Immortal Realm?
Gu Sinian tiptoed out of the inner room and instructed Liu Xu to listen carefully for any sounds inside, and to go in and attend to them immediately if the child woke up.
Liu Xu responded and saw Gu Sinian off.
