"Brother, I understand. From now on, I will not pry into things that Miss doesn't say out loud." Bai Yusu understood immediately.

Bai Yusheng smiled approvingly at her, reached out and ruffled the hair on her forehead, and then the brother and sister left side by side.

Although Ji Fengyao inside the house could not hear their telepathic communication, she could "see" their subtle interactions with her divine sense.

"Seeing" Bai Yusheng affectionately ruffling Bai Yusu's hair on her forehead, the same gesture that Shang Xiye and her father did to her.

Overwhelmed with longing, Ji Fengyao's eyes immediately welled up with tears:

Your Highness, Father, I don't know where you are. You must be well. I will come to find you as soon as possible!

At this time, Shang Xiye had already been taken back to the Snow Fox Clan deep in the Monster Forest in the southern part of the Origin Continent by Xue Bingsi and Xue Bingling.

Because Shang Xiye's soul was too fragile and he had just suffered serious injuries, he was able to directly face Xue Bingling's indiscriminate mental attack.

So he won't wake up for a while.

The Snow Fox Clan was overjoyed to learn that the Holy Maiden had brought back a high-level human alchemist.

They were even more reluctant to disturb Shang Xiye's deep sleep and recuperation, so they assigned a special little fox to carefully serve him, and everyone even tiptoed when passing by.

Shang Xiye's consciousness drifted in and out of control for an unknown period of time before slowly coming back together.

When his consciousness returned, he found himself trapped in a past illusion, a past life when he was still Mo Linxian.

"Master, when you see that big brother later, be sure not to be mean to him, okay? That big brother is a very nice person." A clear, soft, childlike voice that could soothe one's heart rang out beside her.

It was Xiao Yunyao—her hair was tied in two buns with a lake-blue ribbon matching his clothes, and she was trying to lift her little face, looking at him with her clear phoenix eyes, a look of dependence and closeness, carrying a hint of expectation and pleading.

"Yao Yao!" Shang Xiye's longing for her burst forth instantly.

Even though he knew this little darling wasn't his wife yet, he still couldn't help but squat down and hug her tightly.

"Master," Xiao Yunyao called him softly, her little hands reaching behind him to pat his back reassuringly. She was childlike and innocent: "Master, don't worry. Yao'er just feels sorry for that big brother, and he is a really good person. But no matter how good he is, he is not even one ten-thousandth as good as Master treats Yao'er. Yao'er will not be taken away by anyone. Yao'er will always be Master's disciple. Master, don't be sad."

Shang Xiye: "..."

Mo Linxian is shameless and has some outrageous tricks up his sleeve. He's such a big guy, yet he acts like a child in front of little Yun Yao.

Now he's being misunderstood by Xiao Yunyao and has only received a little comfort for nothing.

However, this feeling is really... being coaxed like this by a little wife is incredibly satisfying.

Shang Xiye couldn't bear to let go for even a moment, and picked up Xiao Yunyao as soon as he got up.

"Master, Yao'er is so big now, she can walk by herself," Little Yun Yao protested, pouting her little mouth. Her phoenix eyes were bright and sparkling, and her chubby little face was pink and tender, exuding the milky fragrance of a newborn. She was truly like a pink dumpling, extremely beautiful and cute.

"No matter how old he is, he is still my... Master's precious child. Master promised to go with you to see him. He has to understand who is the closest person to you." Shang Xiye guessed the tone of Mo Linxian from his previous life and said to Xiao Yunyao.

"Hehe, Master is such a clingy person," Xiao Yunyao said with a teasing tone, but it was also a happy one.
