(Chapters that need to be revised)
Bai Lu's attention was forcibly diverted again, and Ming Yao's words made the blush spread from his face to his neck.
Mingyao's small body was soft and cuddly, and a warm fragrance wafted over.
Bai Lu's heart was pounding. He had lived for ten thousand years and had never been hugged by a girl before.
Fan Ye chuckled softly, his gentle red eyes filled with intense laughter, revealing that his true emotions were far more joyful than he appeared on the surface.
Just as she was about to burst out laughing, she covered her mouth tightly, her fair face turning bright red from holding back her laughter.
On our first meeting, even if I don't give the goblin face, I have to give my brother face; I can't smile too obviously.
Su Ying also covered her mouth and stood behind Fan Ye, secretly laughing.
Fuyao could only sigh helplessly, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
It was one thing for my brother to be outshone before, but now that he's raising a pet, he's outshone him too?
But he couldn't compete with either of them, as they were both people close to him.
Fuyao looked at Bailu and said, "Bailu, from now on you will follow me and stay by my side at all times, so that I can protect you."
The white deer looked up at him, its antlers curved gently, its eyes full of obedience. "Yes, Master."
"Is Bailu your real name?" Fuyao hesitated for a moment before asking.
The white deer shook its head. "I am a goblin. I am called the white deer because I take the form of one."
Fuyao felt a pang of sympathy. This child should be about the same age as Mingyao. Not only did he live a life of hiding, but he didn't even have a name.
Perhaps Fuyao's expression was too obvious, Fan Ye looked up at the sky speechlessly. The combined age of everyone here was probably less than that short-legged guy.
“Now that I have become your master, I will give you a name,” Fuyao said.
The white deer perked up and asked, "Master, what's my name?"
Fuyao thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you will be called 'Luyao,' the 'road' of the white deer, and the 'yao' of a thousand miles away."
"Lu Yao thanks the master for bestowing this name upon him."
Lu Yao knew that Fu Yao wanted to tell him that time would tell, and that only by spending a long time together could one know whether a person was good or bad.
Is he telling him that he intends to test him out and see if he's a good match for his sister?
Lu Yao didn't know whether to be happy or cry; he wasn't interested in the little one at all. His blushing and racing heart were just because he'd never been hugged by a girl before, so it was understandable he was nervous—please don't misunderstand…
Seeing his bewildered expression, Fan Ye wanted to laugh even more.
Just then, a little yellow sparrow flew over and said, "Master, Master, Lang Yu is looking for you everywhere."
"I understand." Fan Ye looked at them. "Do you want to stay here, or come with me?"
“We’ll go with you,” Fuyao said.
"good."
The group left the cliff.
When Fan Ye saw Lang Yu, his mouth twisted with anger.
"What happened? Did someone beat you up?"
"It's even more infuriating than getting beaten up!" Lang Yu plopped down on the ground, sulking.
Fan Ye smiled and said, "Tell me what happened first."
Lang Yu said angrily, "I was thinking that since our demon population isn't as large as the three thousand demons, I wanted to recruit some demons from the Dabie Mountains. But I didn't expect these demons to be so shameless! They actually said that whoever wins, they'll decide who to submit to. Isn't this just blatantly taking advantage of the situation and watching the two sides fight it out?"
"Is this all you're talking about?" Fan Ye raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you angry?" Lang Yu retorted.
"Should I be angry? They're a bunch of stragglers, and you want to incorporate them into my properly trained demon army! You want to, I don't. You go stand in the corner and reflect on your actions."
Lang Yu was stunned by the scolding.
"oh oh……"
Lang Yu slowly turned around, then suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Boss, I don't see any walls nearby."
"..." Fan Ye glanced at him expressionlessly, "Just find a tree to face."
"Yes, yes." Lang Yu carefully examined all the trees around him, then ran towards a jujube tree.
Fan Ye: "..."
What the hell did I just take in as my underling?
He used to be so imposing and domineering, but what happened to his supposedly high intelligence?!
You're kidding me.
Zui Mei was so angry she was practically bursting with laughter. She walked over to him and comforted him, saying, "Brother... cough, don't be angry."
Fan Ye glanced at him and said, "If you want to laugh, find somewhere else to laugh. I have things to do, and nobody is allowed to follow me."
"Brother!" Zuimei rubbed his cheek and called out to Fanye, but Fanye ignored him.
Watching Fan Ye's departing figure, Zui Mei didn't stop him. Others might not know, but he knew perfectly well. The entire Dabie Mountain range belonged to his brother. Even outside the barrier, other lesser demons would fawn over him. Who would dare to touch him?
"Zui Mei, go with Fan Ye. I'm worried about you." Fu Yao looked at Fan Ye's back, her eyes revealing a hint of worry.
Zuimei smiled at Fuyao and said, "Elder, don't worry. There isn't a single monster in the entire Dabie Mountains that can rival my brother."
“But…” Fuyao was about to say, what if those monsters use underhanded methods? But she swallowed the words back down.
Zui Mei laughed and said, "Elder, don't worry about my brother. He's smart and has demonic powers for self-defense. He can do whatever he wants in the entire Dabie Mountains."
Fuyao sighed, "I'm just afraid he'll act arrogantly."
Zuimei: "..."
Su Ying rubbed her face, which had stiffened from smiling, and led Ming Yao toward their little house.
It's getting dark, they should go to sleep.
...
Fan Ye was gone for a long time, and Fu Yao couldn't sleep, so she simply sat under a tree, looking at the moonlight and waiting for Fan Ye to return.
Lu Yao quietly stayed by his side, her fair little hand supporting her chin as she tilted her head to look at him. She then glanced at Lang Yu, who was still reflecting on his mistakes under the tree, and found everything extremely novel.
This was his first day with his master, and it was even better than he had imagined.
Fuyao looked at him and said softly, "It's safer here. You should go back and get some sleep."
When she returned during the day, Fuyao specially conjured up a small bed for Luyao in her little house.
Lu Yao shook her head. "I need to stay with my master and wait for the clan leader, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
"Then you'll have to wait with me." Fuyao didn't insist. He couldn't sleep until he saw Fanye return safely. If Luyao was sincere, she would definitely feel the same way he did.
Two 'children' who didn't seem to be their age sat quietly under the tree, their small white figures looking especially beautiful in the moonlight.
Fan returned late at night, his figure as elusive as a ghost. If it weren't for the moonlight revealing the two people under the tree, one might have thought they had seen a ghost.
"What are you two doing sitting here?" Fan Ye asked.
Fuyao and Luyao were startled by the sudden voice from behind. They turned around at the same time, and when they saw it was him, they patted their frightened hearts.
"I was so scared, so scared!"
Fan Ye raised an eyebrow. "You two have something on your mind?"
Lu Yao looked at Fan Ye and said, "It's because Master is worried about you."
Fan Ye patted his little head and said, "Go to sleep. Fuyao should go too. There's a fierce battle tomorrow."
