Until they were far away, Si Jianye finally stopped.
The gentle sunlight shone wantonly on the man's handsome cheeks, his deep pupils coated with a layer of golden light, yet the chill emanating from him intensified.
"Su Hongxiu is two-faced and deeply cunning. After I leave Lin Country and head to the Dragon Realm, you must be wary and keep your distance from this person."
The thought of Su Hongxiu fawning over him every few days made him uncomfortable.
A chill spread around Si Jianye.
The icy aura seemed capable of freezing a person to death.
Feng Ninghe broke into a smile, her skin like congealed fat, her bright eyes showing a trace of tenderness. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
She suddenly felt that Si Jianye before her was not as cold and ruthless as rumored; he was like ordinary people, capable of getting angry and having a temper.
The soft female voice instantly extinguished the anger in Si Jianye's heart.
He lowered his gaze and quietly stared at Feng Ninghe, his deep eyes exceptionally affectionate. "It's about time. We should go find Xin Xin and spend some good time with her."
Si Xin Xin and the others returned to the opera house and were standing at the entrance.
She excitedly cast her gaze upon the milling crowd around them, her cherry-like lips curving into a perfect arc. "I wonder how Father and Mother are getting along."
Axi placed her hands on her chest, looking slightly curious. "Xin Xin, you also know that the King of Hell will be departing for the Dragon Realm soon. Who knows when we'll be reunited after this parting. Don't you want to spend more time with the King of Hell?"
"What does that matter?"
Si Xin Xin waved her hand dismissively, a hint of seriousness on her tender, fair cheeks. "As long as Mother can spend more time alone with Father, I'm not important."
After all, how could she just sit idly by in the First Sect?
She believed that the day of their reunion would come soon.
Axi, unaware of Si Xin Xin's thoughts, looked at the small figure before her with a touch of emotion. "Miss is truly sensible."
If it were another child, they wouldn't be so open-minded and cheerful.
Looking at Si Xin Xin's unhurried demeanor, despite her young age, her actions were comparable to an adult.
"Mother!"
Si Xin Xin's eyes lit up as if she had seen something. She quickly ran towards the figure approaching them.
Feng Ninghe and Si Jianye strode forward.
Seeing Si Xin Xin, who rushed into her arms impatiently, Feng Ninghe's heart softened. She casually held her and said, "Xin Xin, let's go back to the teahouse."
Si Xin Xin nodded obediently, her gaze occasionally shifting to Si Jianye. "Father, you rarely come out for a stroll. Why don't you stroll with Mother for a while longer?"
She wished her father and mother could spend more time together, so they wouldn't have nothing to do even when they returned.
After all, no one dared to lay a hand on them.
In response to the question, Si Jianye casually ruffled her hair, his low, husky voice slowly falling. "We were afraid you'd be bored, so we came to find you."
Si Xin Xin quickly waved her hands, her chubby little hands cute and honest. "Xin Xin isn't bored. You two should stroll more."
She even tried to push Si Jianye and Feng Ninghe towards the crowd...
It wasn't until nightfall that everyone gradually returned to the palace.
"Father, when do you plan to go to the Dragon Realm?"
Si Xin Xin tilted her tender face up, her gaze fixed on Si Jianye.
The simple words plunged Si Jianye into thought.
He looked up at the full moon.
The full moon hung high, emitting a cold aura.
Everything he cherished was here. How could he bear to leave the Xuan Continent?
The silvery moonlight enveloped the man's pale face, and his worries seemed to be illuminated by the moonlight.
Seeing his silence, Feng Ninghe spoke first, providing an answer. "We leave tomorrow."
Si Jianye would eventually leave for the Dragon Realm. Rather than being indecisive, it was better to head to the Dragon Realm sooner.
Her firm voice made a decision for Si Jianye and caused him to look back at Feng Ninghe.
A hint of understanding appeared on Si Xin Xin's tender face, and she nodded obediently. "Father, you go ahead. Mother and I will be fine here. We'll come to the Dragon Realm to find you soon!"
"Good."
Si Jianye responded heartily, reaching out to gently stroke Si Xin Xin's head. A clear tenderness appeared in his dark eyes.
Si Xin Xin's eyes rolled around in her sockets. She beckoned to Si Jianye and whispered in a voice only they could hear.
The childish female voice was soft and adorable.
Si Jianye's thin lips curved upwards imperceptibly.
Seeing the father and daughter whispering to each other, Feng Ninghe asked with a hint of curiosity, "What are you talking about?"
Si Xin Xin chuckled, her bright eyes sparkling with starlight. "Mother, it's about time. Let's go to bed with Father!"
She eagerly extended her hands, pulling Feng Ninghe with one and holding Si Jianye with the other, stepping into the room.
Feng Xing clenched his fist secretly, his gaze fixed on the night sky. Even as people dispersed around him, he remained rooted to the spot.
"A Xing, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Niannian followed his gaze to the sky.
The dark night sky was dotted with stars, a peaceful and serene night.
Feng Xing then withdrew his gaze and smiled bitterly. "I'm wondering if I'll have the ability to protect myself if I go to the Dragon Realm."
He cultivated with all his might precisely to protect himself and those around him.
Bai Niannian nodded without hesitation. "A Xing, you have exceptional talent and you're so diligent. Even if you go to the Dragon Realm, which is full of people and puppets, you'll definitely be able to protect yourself. As for me, I can't say for sure..."
Her cultivation had always lagged behind.
In Lin Country, a Nascent Soul cultivator could already walk around with impunity.
But in the Dragon Realm, that was uncertain.
Feng Xing looked directly into her eyes, his handsome young face filled with resolute determination. "Niannian, I will protect you well. Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will not let you get hurt."
He had watched Old Man Xu fall before his eyes.
That scene was deeply etched in his mind.
He would not allow anyone else around him to be harmed, even if it meant death, he would protect those around him.
"Pah, pah!"
Bai Niannian quickly spat on the ground. "A Xing, whether it's you or me, everyone will be safe and sound."
Looking at Bai Niannian before him, Feng Xing offered a faint smile, a rare tenderness in his eyes. "You're right, we will all be safe and sound."
Inside the room.
Si Jianye habitually conjured a large bed.
The spacious bed instantly filled the room.
"Father, quickly put the bed away! Let's all three of us sleep together tonight!"
Si Xin Xin blinked her bright eyes, her gaze filled with anticipation. "I've never even slept in the same bed as Father and Mother before."
