These words were like a whip dipped in salt water, lashing fiercely at her heart.

She tightened her grip on Wu Hua, apologizing repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I was so selfish, I'm so sorry..."

Wu Hua was truly heartbroken this time and did not forgive her as usual.

Qin Luo knew she shouldn't have valued anyone more than Wu Hua.

Because in this life she doesn't remember who Ming Yi is, if it weren't for Wu Hua...

She died during the apocalypse, so there was no chance for Heaven to save her later.

When she was at her most helpless, it was Wu Hua who saved her and avenged her parents and friends.

He accompanied her through her journey, and helped her step by step to where she is today. And what about her?

She always prioritized others over Wu Hua's feelings.

When he saved Su Junli in Chunyang County, it was like that; now, for the sake of Heaven's Dao and Ming Yi, it is...

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she wasn't human, so she raised her hand and slapped herself hard.

The loud sound stunned Wu Hua.

It was as if the slap had landed squarely on his face; even Qin Luo's apology was no longer audible.

His mind was filled with that crisp sound, and he touched Qin Luo's cheek somewhat unconsciously.

She even pouted her little lips and blew on it for her, while big tears fell onto her clothes.

The sorrowful cries only intensified Qin Luo's guilt.

"Luo, Luo Luo, no, don't hit me, waaaah, don't hit me, no, waaaah..."

Qin Luo patted his back while assuring him.

"I won't hit you anymore, I won't hit you anymore. Can you forgive me, baby? I will never think of dying for someone else again, okay?"

Wu Hua rested her little head on the crook of her neck, and her crying gradually subsided.

"Fine, if you're lying to me, after you die I'll swallow your soul and turn you into stinky poop."

Qin Luo…

"Okay, whatever you say."

The two had barely made up when Wu Hua reminded her it was time to get up.

Qin Luo glanced at the already bright sky, took out a wet wipe, and wiped his tear-streaked face.

"Why don't you go back to your space and get some sleep? I'll go see Fanfan and Songsong off."

Wu Hua shook her head.

“I need to first weave a memory for them to recognize the Lord. I can rely on Sister Wang to teach them the rest, but not this.”

"Alright, let's go then. If we get sleepy later, we can take a nap in the carriage."

"Uh-huh."

The two went to Fanfan and Songsong's room, but neither of them showed any sign of waking up.

Wu Hua returned with two streams of energy that awakened them, and then fragments of woven memories seeped into their minds.

A moment later, the two of them were fully awake, but they looked completely dazed.

But upon seeing Qin Luo and Wu Hua, they knew to kneel and pay their respects.

"Greetings to the two young masters. May you be well."

Qin Luo looked at Wu Hua, as if asking him if this was inappropriate.

Wu Hua didn't answer her immediately, but looked at the two of them seriously.

"Although you two are servants of the Qin family, in public you are our nominal aunts and uncles, understand?"

"clear."

"Very good, you have dementia. We've found someone to take care of you. Once you've learned some life skills, we'll come back to pick you up. Understand?"

The two nodded mechanically.

"clear."

"Okay, besides life skills, it would be best to learn something else, such as how to get along with people, how to do accounting and recognize objects, understand?"

"clear."

Qin Shilu finally couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Little one, even Sister Wang doesn't know those things!"

"It's alright, just have her go and invite the teacher. Their minds are completely blank right now, so they learn things very quickly."

"You're not thinking of opening an eternal city in Pingru City, are you? It's not far from Danchi City. Won't that affect your business?"

Wu Hua, however, confidently raised her little head.

"Have you forgotten the auspicious aura when we entered the city? This is a rare treasure land. The magical artifact under the city wall can make all things here live and thrive endlessly."

"That's awesome?"

"Of course, didn't you see that your wretched father built the small world nearby? It was all so that the auspicious energy could help him conceal the secrets of heaven."

"So that's how it is. No wonder Heaven didn't notice anything. Auspicious energy is really useful."

Wu Hua nodded in agreement.

"It's really useful. If the quail hadn't accidentally fallen into it, we probably would have worn out the roads around the small world and still not discovered its existence."

The two were chatting when there was a sudden knock on the door. Wu Hua told Fanfan and Songsong to get up first.

Qin Luo then went to open the door.

"You're here so early?"

The visitor was none other than Xiushan Wang, who also sighed upon seeing Qin Luo and Wu Hua.

"I thought you two would sleep in a little longer, but I didn't expect you to be up so early."

As he spoke, he placed the food box he was carrying on the table.

"I thought they must be hungry, so I brought some breakfast. You two haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go get some more."

After asking the question, she peeked behind the screen again, as if looking for something.

"Where are your younger sister and nieces? I haven't seen them. Are they in another room? Should we bring their things up together, or wait until they wake up?"

Qin Luo had forgotten about it, but thinking it would be troublesome to bring it out again, he just made up an excuse.

“Last night, when my child and I went out, we took them to our relatives’ house.”

"Oh, you have relatives in Pingru City."

Qin Luo was momentarily stumped by her question, but Wu Hua, quick-witted, immediately chimed in.

"They're not from Pingru City. They do business in Danchi City and are here on business."

"Okay, then I won't take their share. Wait here, I'll be right there."
