The boy was naturally quiet and reserved, and Ouyang Shaogong could never figure out his emotions and thoughts. This was the only time he had ever inadvertently noticed the emotions he was showing.
However… Ouyang Shaogong was quite satisfied. The way the young hero looked at him, although not as he had expected, was still quite profound.
Although the godfather often makes a blunder when it comes to matters concerning his adoptive father, his vision of the future is never wrong, and it is no exaggeration for the young hero to be so affectionate towards him.
Ouyang Shaogong firmly believed this, thus missing an opportunity to learn the young hero's secret.
Baili Tusu suddenly realized that he had been staring at Ouyang Shaogong for a long time. He hurriedly turned his head away, stood up and whistled to cover up his mistake. Hai Dongqing A Xiang, who had been following him but rarely appeared in public, flew down from the sky and landed on his shoulder.
The young hero silently took out the pork belly he had bought yesterday and fed it to A Xiang piece by piece. This gyrfalcon ignored everyone else but was very affectionate towards Baili Tusu, rubbing its head against his cheek after each bite.
Ouyang Shaogong smiled but didn't expose his guilty conscience, and continued to eat the dry food in his hand.
Meanwhile, Long Xun, who didn't need to eat at all, was led a little away from the camp by Yin Chen. Only after ensuring that the young hero and Ouyang Shaogong were within their protection range and their conversation would not be overheard did Yin Chen stop.
Long Xun looked at his lover with a cold and indifferent expression, his black vertical pupils, which he had disguised in front of outsiders, calmly.
“Ah Xun,” Yin Chen suddenly spoke.
Long Xun met his eyes without saying a word.
Knowing his partner's taciturn nature, Yin Chen didn't mind and continued, "Is this Shao Gong's last reincarnation?"
Long Xun nodded.
Ouyang Shaogong is missing his life soul and four spirits. Each time he returns to infancy, he will generate one soul or one spirit. In this life, after he turns twenty-five, his soul and spirit will be complete.
At that time, Ouyang Shaogong can also embark on the path of cultivation on his own. After all, his soul was entirely nurtured by that half of the immortal soul, and he also possesses immortal energy. Prolonging life and even becoming an immortal is not a problem. He can obtain profound cultivation in a very short time.
It's not that he couldn't cultivate before, but cultivating spiritual energy put too much pressure on his soul. Just in case, Long Xun told him in advance that it was best not to do it.
The current weakness is just a prelude to soaring to great heights in the future.
Yin Chen smiled faintly. In this life, he was reserved and steady, and appeared rather aloof to outsiders. He would smile more often in front of those close to him, but even then, it was only a faint smile.
“It’s been over a hundred years since I first met Shao Gong. The Yue family has flourished, and Shen Ye and Cang Ming have remained together to this day. Xie Yan and A Ruan’s whereabouts are unknown… All those acquaintances have started families and found people or things to keep them company.” Yin Chen’s gaze softened as he looked at his cold companion beside him and said softly, “But Shao Gong…”
That child may have been hurt badly in the past, and even if he has no more worries, it will be much harder for him to fall in love with anyone again.
Having missed the moment when he was most desperate and helpless, the time when he could have been the only lifeline in his heart, Shao Gong's heart became increasingly closed off.
Yin Chen and Shao Gong didn't get along at first, not only because Yin Chen was the emperor and Shao Gong, as his subject, repeatedly disrespected him. There was a deeper reason... At that time, he didn't know how deep Long Xun's feelings for him were. He even thought that only he had romantic feelings for the high and mighty Dragon God. Naturally, he felt a sense of distance from Ouyang Shao Gong, who had been by Long Xun's side since childhood.
However, he later accompanied Long Xun on several occasions, personally raising Shao Gong to adulthood, a feeling that others could not understand.
Even though Ouyang Shaogong was not related to them by blood, to Long Xun and Yin Chen, Shaogong was no different from their own child.
As a father, he always hoped for the best for his child. If Shao Gong hadn't shown anything, Yin Chen wouldn't have forced him to find a companion, but whenever the child saw him and A Xun together, he couldn't help but show a hint of envy and longing…
Yin Chen naturally took this matter to heart as well.
Long Xun turned to look at Baili Tusu, who was gradually becoming more talkative as Ouyang Shaogong started to find topics to discuss, but said nothing.
Yin Chen stepped forward, took his hand, and said softly, "Young Master Baili is a good boy."
Long Xun couldn't help but say coldly, "He harbors resentment towards Shao Gong."
“No relationship is ever truly smooth sailing.” Yin Chen patted the back of his hand and said softly, “Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you and I take care of them, we won’t let Shao Gong suffer any losses.”
Long Xun remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
In fanfiction, Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu have a love-hate relationship all the way, which is why he was unhappy even though he knew the two were destined to be a couple.
But... Ah Chen is right, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
