Liang Ci tapped Mu Huan's forehead, "What do you think?" Liang Ci threw the question back to Mu Huan.
"I think so!" Mu Huan looked closely at Liang Ci, trying to detect any subtle expression on Liang Ci's face, but Liang Ci was so good at hiding his emotions that she couldn't see it at all.
"I think Master must miss me very much!" Who cares? It's best if you do, but even if you don't, I still want to think you do. Mu Huan's face has grown to a certain point, so he can say these words without blushing or feeling nervous.
"Girls, aren't you ashamed? Hmm?" Liang Ci raised an eyebrow, but remained noncommittal about Mu Huan's words. If thinking about her was what she wanted, then he did think about her.
"I'm not ashamed in front of my master!" Mu Huan made a face at Liang Ci, smiling broadly. This was probably the first time she had laughed so heartily in half a year! When Liang Ci was not around, she couldn't even laugh.
Liang Ci smiled but didn't say anything. "Eat quickly, these are all your favorites."
Mu Huan exclaimed in amazement. Could it be that Master prepared all of this food by himself? Sitting down, Mu Huan rubbed her hands in anticipation. She couldn't wait to taste Master's cooking.
"Wait!" Liang Ci stopped Mu Huan from picking up the food.
"Master, what are you doing? Why don't you let me eat?" Mu Huan put down his chopsticks, looking puzzled. Is there any ritual required for eating?
"Have you studied the Book of Rites recently?"
"..." Master, is it really okay for you to bring up something so disappointing at this time? Can she say she hasn't seen it? Mu Huan thought about this and shook her head violently. No, no, if she said that, she probably wouldn't have to eat for a few days. But Master hated lying the most. It really put her in a dilemma!
"Master, we're having dinner, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"
"Because I've discovered your dining etiquette is a complete mess." Liang Ci didn't expect the girl to be a dignified and decent woman, but she still had to learn the most basic etiquette. This would be best for her, as it would prevent people from using this to pick on her.
"A mess? Well," Mu Huan looked at his movements of holding chopsticks and sitting, "It's not that bad, right?" Mu Huan felt a little guilty.
Liang Ci sighed. That's all! Restricting her too much from learning these things might even backfire. One day, she'd lose her original personality, and then she wouldn't be the real her. At worst, if something happened in the future, he'd be there to protect her.
"Never mind, eat!"
"I knew that Master is the best!" Mu Huan quickly started his own carnival, as if he hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, and he started to eat with relish like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
Mu Huan was eating happily and was about to praise his capable master when he heard a very impatient voice coming from outside the courtyard gate.
"This little god requests an audience with Lord Liang Ci!" Although he was in a hurry, he followed all the necessary etiquette. Mu Huan was amazed at what he saw. It seemed that the gods really valued these superficial rituals!
"Speak!" Liang Ci's tone still showed a hint of impatience for having an outsider disturb his and the little girl's private time.
"My lord, something bad has happened! The demons have breached the border with the Mei Clan and are attacking them. The Mei Clan has suffered heavy losses and has appealed to the gods for help. However, the God of War went to the human race to scout the enemy and hasn't returned yet. We, the little gods, are at our wit's end, so we're sorry to disturb your peace!"
It was obvious that Xiaoshen's voice was trembling with fear, but Mu Huan didn't understand why they were so afraid of the master, since the master wasn't some terrible monster.
Just as Mu Huan was staring blankly at the little god outside, Liang Ci suddenly touched his head.
"He, is very good-looking?"
Good-looking? Wait, wait, Master, are you missing the point? In this emergency, shouldn't you be rushing to support that Meizu? Why are you suddenly bringing up the topic of whether someone else looks good or not?
However, the very sensible Mu Huan immediately noticed something was wrong, so he tried to appease Liang Ci. "It's not pretty at all, not even one ten-thousandth as good as Master's!"
Liang Ci nodded with satisfaction, and then comforted Mu Huan, "Master will be back soon, you just stay here and don't go anywhere."
"Yeah!" Mu Huan nodded vigorously. Although she didn't know why her master always seemed to be worried that she would be hurt by others, she still believed that the decision made by her master was absolutely right, so she had to choose to believe it.
"Master, don't worry, I'll be waiting for you here!"
Liang Ci suddenly hugged Mu Huan tightly, sniffed her hair fiercely, and told her to wait for him to come back. Then, he let go of Mu Huan and left with Xiao Shen, who was still in shock.
Mu Huan smiled. She had never realized that her master was so reluctant to let her go. In order to live up to her master's painstaking training, Mu Huan decided to be diligent and clean up the mess left after the meal.
"Mu Huan?" A gust of cold wind blew, making Mu Huan shiver.
"Who?" Mu Huan turned abruptly and saw a man clad in black, covering himself completely from head to toe. His attire was rather strange, and his aura was somewhat murky. He was definitely not from the Protoss. However, since he could come and go freely, he must be related to the Protoss.
"Who are you?"
"Don't you want to know who you are? You are not a god, so why do you appear in the god clan?" The man in black robe answered the question irrelevantly and went straight to the point, explaining the purpose of his visit in a roundabout way.
"I don't want to know." I'm sorry, but your attempts to sow discord won't shake her at all.
"It's okay if you don't want to know!" The black-robed man was not annoyed by Mu Huan's refusal to cooperate. Instead, he continued to speak to himself: "Liang Ci, it's not your place to touch her! How can we be partners when we are of different races?"
"So that's it!" Mu Huan sneered. "So, they were here for the Master." She could probably guess who it was. Although she didn't know who the black-robed man was, she knew who was behind him.
"Liang Ci is my master. Just because you say he can't be touched, does that mean he can't be touched? On what grounds do you lecture me like this?" A cold glint flashed in Mu Huan's eyes. "Could it be that you like my master?"
"What nonsense!" The man in black robe was furious. If it weren't for the fact that the woman he liked liked Liang Ci and had come to beg him for help, he would not have cared about these things at all.
"How can a woman say such words as 'I like you' so casually!" The man in black robe shook his sleeves angrily. She was right. This woman really shouldn't stay in the God Clan, lest she defile this place.
"Heh!" Mu Huan didn't want to beat around the bush with the black-robed man anymore. "What good did Xi Ling give you? You come to me to settle the score. So you Protoss all like to do these threatening and sneaky things?"
