Ying Yuan sent his trusted henchman, Shadow, to infiltrate Penglai Island and capture Li Muge's daughter.
However, Little Peony held onto Ping An, preventing the shadowy figure from finding an opportunity.
Niu Zhan returned happily, bringing back a pig's head for A Man to braise. Although A Man was slow at cooking, his culinary skills were among the best of them all.
Aman's eyes lit up when she saw Niu Zhan return: "Husband, you're back! Come on, you must be tired. Pour me a glass of water."
Niu Zhangang poured the herbal tea into a bowl, ready to drink it.
"It's not about why, Ah Man, you're saying I'm tired, so why should I be the one to serve you tea and water?"
Ah Man kept her eyes glued to the heat of the porridge she was cooking: "Yes, my husband, you're tired, but I'm tired too. I heard from the soldiers in your camp the other day that he even prepared water for his wife to wash her feet."
Niu Zhan's rugged face suddenly showed a hint of shyness.
Moreover, Ah Man's expression was very serious when he said these words.
It seems that's how it should be.
"But the problem is you're not my wife."
Upon hearing this, Ah Man paused for a moment before calmly replying, "Oh, it's alright. We'll wait for the Dharma Protector to return and have him take care of things for us."
The bull's horns were getting hot from the fight.
He had never seen a woman say such inappropriate things with such a serious expression.
Although Niu Zhan never acknowledged that A Man was his wife, he still obediently brought her water to drink.
The shadowy figure spotted the pot of porridge in the kitchen from the darkness and immediately realized this was an opportunity.
He secretly put poison into the steaming porridge when no one was looking.
The poisoned porridge was served on a table in the courtyard, along with several side dishes. The pig's head that Niu Zhan brought back was cleaned by A Man and placed in braising liquid for tomorrow's meal.
Niu Zhan saw Xiao Shaoyao carrying Ping An out.
He immediately ran to Xiao Shaoyao's side, raised his hand to cover his face, and then put it down again after a while. This little game was Xiao Ping'an's favorite, and he was always made to laugh "giggle" by Niu Zhan.
Little Ping An is almost one year old.
They can already crawl.
Sometimes he can even stand up by holding onto the table legs.
She's a chubby, pink baby.
Xiao Ping An is so fat thanks to Niu Zhan.
With the battle situation so chaotic and the protector not by Xiao Ping'an's side, and no milk available, they had no choice but to raise a cow.
But this cow doesn't like to eat grass.
They tried everything, gathering all the grass they could to help the cows grow, and even prepared minced meat for them, but the cows still weren't growing much.
The cows don't eat much.
Naturally, there was no breast milk. At that time, Ping An was still an infant and lost several pounds.
I feel so sorry for Xiao Shaoyao and Aman, who kept secretly wiping away tears.
It's nothing for the adults to suffer a little.
But it really hurts them to see their children suffer.
Niu Zhan couldn't stand it anymore, so he found a whetstone somewhere and put it in the backyard.
He didn't say a word, just stared sullenly at the cow sharpening its knife.
He would occasionally give a chilling smile.
Perhaps it was a lucky accident, or perhaps the cow was just being pragmatic.
The cows have finally started producing milk.
This brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
Little Peony ladled the porridge into Ping An's special little bowl, and as was her habit, she prepared to taste it first to make sure it was piping hot. But at that moment, little Ping An in her arms suddenly started crying.
"Ping An, why are you crying?" Little Peony quickly picked up Ping An and stood in the yard, her voice gentle as she walked back and forth trying to comfort him, hoping that this would stop him from crying.
A dark figure was watching from the shadows.
Just when things seemed to be going well, the child suddenly started crying.
Ping An cried for a long time without getting better.
When the porridge got cold and couldn't be eaten anymore, Niu Zhan was delighted. Not wanting to waste it, he simply prepared to pour it into his own bowl.
"Bad, bad."
Xiao Ping'an started to speak, but unfortunately she was too young and her words were unclear. However, A Man could tell that Ping'an's crying was wrong, so he snatched the porridge from Niu Zhan's bowl, raised his hand and waved it, and a layer of poison floated up.
"Who the hell is it? Get out here!" Niu Zhan chased after them, carrying a large knife.
If they dare to harm the child, I'll make sure they get their hands on me.
Ah Man was worried.
"Peony, please take good care of Ping'an. I'm going out to check on things."
When Ah Man arrived, Niu Zhan had already caught up with the shadowy figure, and the two were fighting. The shadowy figure had no physical form, and its moves were so strange that no one could discern its style.
Niu Zhan's eyes were blazing with anger.
"If you're a real man, fight fair and square, don't resort to these dirty tricks."
The shadowy figure gave a sinister smile, and its body split into countless shadowy figures that completely surrounded Niu Zhan.
"General Niu, now look and see which one is the real me."
"You son of a bitch, ptooey, you shameful bastard."
Niu Zhan cleaved one of the dark figures in two, and then the other dark figures all attacked Niu Zhan at the same time.
They even covered Niu Zhan's eyes with black mist.
Niu Zhan couldn't tell which one was the real black shadow at all.
"My husband."
Aman naturally couldn't bear to see her husband suffer such a loss, so she formed a hand seal, and countless tortoise shells immediately appeared in her hands.
All the fire was directed at the shadowy figure.
Her tortoise shell can break all illusions.
Niu Zhan seized the opportunity and stabbed the shadowy figure with his knife.
The dark figure cried out in pain and vanished from the spot.
"Husband, I'm so glad you're alright." A-Man hugged Niu Zhan as fast as she could. Niu Zhan smiled, and for some reason, he felt that his subordinates were right.
After being single for many years, it's time for him to find a wife.
Feeling safe in the battle against Niu Zhan, A Man's rationality slowly returned.
"Oh no, Ping An is in danger. This is a diversionary tactic."
Niu Zhan also realized the seriousness of the situation.
When they rushed back to the courtyard, all they found was Little Peony, who was seriously injured and unconscious; Ping An had long since disappeared.
Ying Yuan completed his plan and placed the chubby Ping An in front of him.
His smile was sinister.
"Child, blame your bad luck for being born Li Muge's daughter." He was about to knock Ping An unconscious when Ping An started giggling as soon as she saw him.
She wasn't afraid of him at all.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Ying Yuan's ferocious face showed a hint of doubt.
No one, including children, didn’t loathe his ugly face.
But Li Muge's daughter wasn't afraid of him at all.
He deliberately placed Li Muge's daughter in a place far away from him.
"Don't smile at me. Don't think you can live like that. I won't let you go."
Little Ping'an couldn't understand what this strange adult was saying. He just bit his fingers and smacked his lips, saying, "Grandma, Grandma."
Ye Yingyuan fell silent.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to send Ping An to Xiao Xue later.
At the very least, the child must be fed.
After all, he was Ping An's uncle.
It was just that he was a grown man, and it took him a long time to find milk for the child. Moreover, he had to do this very discreetly so that Xiao Xue, the child's grandmother, wouldn't find out.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to save Ping An's life for the time being.
