Bai Qingnian knelt down in front of Long Qianling, reached out to straighten her disheveled clothes, and smiled gently at her: "I have long since stopped eating grains. I have been busy with other things these days. I know you are not used to eating fasting pills, so I made some food for you tonight. Would you like to try some?"
"Did Master make this for me personally?" Long Qianling met his blue eyes, her red eyes filled with joy.
Seeing that she liked it, Bai Qingnian was also very happy. "Of course, come with me quickly."
Little did he know that his reminder reminded Long Qianling of the scene where the little fox fed her raw meat in the demon realm.
I hope the little fox won't make her eat raw meat again...
Bai Qingnian held Long Qianling's small hand, and their figures quickly disappeared into the side hall. When they reappeared, the two had already arrived at the dining hall.
Long Qianling had been here before, but the difference was that when she came in last time, the place was covered in dust, but now it had obviously been cleaned.
There were only the two of them on the entire Moon Goddess Peak, so it must have been the little fox who did it.
"Come, sit here." Bai Qingnian pressed Long Qianling into one of the chairs, while he himself sat down beside her.
"Try it! I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just made some random things."
Long Qianling took the chopsticks he handed her, and her red eyes finally fell on the table full of delicious food.
Somewhat surprised, he asked, "Did you do all of this, Master?"
Bai Qingnian nodded and smiled, "Yes, you should try it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingnian put a piece of meat on Long Qianling's plate.
Long Qianling nodded, picked up the piece of meat and ate it; it was surprisingly delicious.
"Delicious!" Long Qianling praised without reservation.
"Eat more if you like it!" Seeing that she enjoyed it, Bai Qingnian quickly put several more dishes on her plate.
Before he embarked on the path of cultivation, he learned cooking skills from the head chef in a restaurant.
He was an orphan and didn't know who his biological parents were. The restaurant owner took pity on him and adopted him.
Later, by chance, I embarked on the path of cultivation and left that restaurant. So much time has passed, the owner is no longer alive, and the only place in this world that I could call home is gone.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingnian felt inexplicably downcast.
Long Qianling, who had been secretly observing him, noticed that he was in a bad mood. She quickly put down her chopsticks, habitually pulled out a white handkerchief from her clothes to wipe her mouth, and then casually tossed it on the table.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Hearing her voice, Bai Qingnian came back to his senses, looked at her chubby face, and smiled, "It's nothing, Master was just thinking about the past, it's nothing serious."
“But Master doesn’t seem very happy.” Long Qianling raised her hands and placed them on Bai Qingnian’s arms, bringing her head closer to him.
Bai Qingnian almost burst out laughing when he saw her serious expression. He reached out and patted her head. "I just remembered an old friend. By the way, A-Ling, with your talent, why aren't you in your family? Why did you come to the Xuan Tian Sect?"
Bai Qingnian understood that someone with such high talent and the ability to quickly master the use of spiritual energy must come from a prominent family. However, he was very curious as to why she would come to the Xuantian Sect to become a disciple.
“My family… only I am left…” Long Qianling’s voice suddenly became muffled.
"I'm sorry..." Bai Qingnian looked at her, his blue eyes filled with heartache. He reached out and gently pulled Long Qianling into his arms, patting her back reassuringly.
"It's alright, Master, A-Ling isn't sad at all..."
Because I killed them all!
Long Qianling buried her face in Bai Qingnian's arms, so Bai Qingnian didn't see the murderous intent in her eyes at all.
"Master, A-Ling only has you from now on, please don't abandon A-Ling..."
Long Qianling dispelled the murderous intent in her eyes, raised her head to look at Bai Qingnian, her red eyes glistening with tears, looking extremely pitiful.
When Bai Qingnian saw her like this, his heart clenched painfully.
"Okay, I won't abandon Ah Ling."
"Yes, Master, you must keep your word!" Long Qianling gave him a big smile, buried her face in his chest again, and rubbed against him.
Bai Qingnian's body stiffened for a moment, but he did not intend to push her away.
For some reason, he always felt an unprecedented sense of ease when he was with her, as if all difficulties could be easily solved as long as she was there.
But she's clearly just a child; his feelings are utterly absurd.
Is this fate?
Bai Qingnian couldn't figure it out, so she stopped torturing herself. She looked down at the fluffy head in her arms, gently stroked it, and softly hummed in agreement.
The room was instantly filled with warmth.
By the time the two finished their meal, it was already past midnight.
Long Qianling had already 'fallen asleep' in Bai Qingnian's arms. Bai Qingnian carried her back to the side hall and was about to put her on the bed when he found that her hands were tightly gripping his clothes.
He didn't dare to use too much force, afraid of waking Long Qianling. Helpless, he could only sit on the bed, quietly watching her, thinking that he would go back after she let go.
But Bai Qingnian waited and waited, and she still showed no sign of letting go. Moreover, he, a cultivator who had reached the Mahayana stage, actually felt a little sleepy.
After sitting for a while, Bai Qingnian slowly leaned back, but instead of falling directly onto the bed, she was caught from behind.
