Looking at the sleeping face of the cub, Chong Qianjue felt waves of emotion welling up in his heart. This was a feeling he had never experienced before, an emotion that no amount of power or honor could bring him.
So this is what family love is all about—unconditional, unwavering love...
As for the cub who brought him this feeling, Chong Qianjue already regarded him as a precious treasure in his life.
As a hunter who waits for the opportune moment to strike and secretly plots to seize the enemy's throat, he treats his own fate the same way: when to lie low, when to endure, and when to reap the rewards...
So now, Chong Qianjue, who had suddenly realized the truth, admitted to himself that this cub that had suddenly appeared, as if it had fallen from the sky, was his precious treasure.
Thus, Chong Qianjue naturally decided that no matter who brought the cub, and whatever their purpose, he would not return it.
How should we hide him? Should we keep a close watch on him at all times, or hide him in the palace and have people guarding him closely?
The moment Chong Qianjue realized his own inner thoughts, his obsessive ideas surged forth.
He was just like those people from beginning to end, with a dirty and ugly soul. What he craved was more focused and pure emotion than ordinary people crave, like the clean emotions that could make his heart beat and respond.
Once discovered, Chong Qianjue will be like a greedy monster, constantly craving such precious emotions until the cub tires of him and despises him. But he will also suck the marrow from the bone, firmly and constantly trying to keep Qianyuan, until the last moment his heart stops beating.
He possessed obsessive thoughts that normal people could not bear, even to the point of being somewhat distorted and deformed.
So after Chong Qianjue confirmed that he had received such feelings, in addition to excitement, he was also afraid. He kept thinking about what would happen to the cub if it could not bear such persistent affection and could not tolerate Chong Qianjue's constant dependence on and absorption of his warmth. Would the cub cry and shout to go back and find its real family?
Whenever Chong Qianjue thought of such a scene, his heart felt as if it were being torn apart and crushed.
He'll go crazy.
When Chong Qianjue realized this, he wished he could immediately shrink the cub and hide it on his body so that no one could find him.
Chong Qianjue gazed quietly at the cub's face. The cub, sensing the light from the candlelight that the palace servants had turned up, whimpered and hid in his arms, exposing its back.
Like a small animal seeking protection from its parents.
Even such a simple gesture could easily win him over, filling his heart with a sweet feeling.
Because this is the cub's complete, instinctive, and natural dependence.
Love has nourished his soul, and he has acquired this precious ability.
Chong Qianjue was fascinated by this.
The cub had no idea that his father had changed his perception overnight to that of an 18-year-old unmarried man with a child. Before he could even put in much effort or start trying to win over his father, his father had already perfectly won him over.
If his previous target had been Chong Qianjue, he would probably have become the fastest conqueror in the quest world.
The main system didn't know whether to sigh or feel regret.
However, he didn't have much time to regret it now. The restoration work was in its final stages, and the fact that he could take a moment to look at Qianyuan was already a rare treat in his busy schedule.
The cub could hear the noise from the system repair every now and then. Finding it noisy, he covered his ears with his pillow, turned over, and continued to sleep, only to find that he seemed to have been turned back over again.
A swastika, expressing displeasure, popped up above the boy's head. His stubbornness flared up, and he tried to flip it outwards, but it was quickly flipped back inwards.
The cub kicked its legs as if to protest, only to realize that it seemed to be held tightly in someone's arms.
Zai struggled to open his heavy eyelids and saw Chong Qianjue forcing Zai to stay in a contorted position, pretending to sleep next to him.
Even leaning against him with my back is not allowed.
We need to meet face-to-face.
The cub uttered some babbling dragon language as it was being kneaded and squeezed. It's really hard to understand why its father is getting more and more like a child as he gets older.
Even when Chong Qianjue had to go to court, he seemed so reluctant to leave.
The palace servants had urged him several times before Chong Qianjue reluctantly put down the child in his arms and got up, as if he were cutting off a piece of his heart.
After Chong Qianjue finished washing up, he couldn't help but turn back and hug the cub.
The child was startled by the coldness emanating from his father and hid even deeper.
Chong Qianjue held the cub for a while, but the annoying palace servants came to urge him again. He had no choice but to put the cub down again, pack his documents, and then turn back as he was leaving to pinch the cub's cheek.
"Your Highness..."
Chong Qianjue went through many hardships to get out of the house, but he hesitated when he stepped across the threshold.
Again and again.
When Chong Qianjue ran back from the carriage to hold the baby, the baby finally couldn't bear the disturbance and burst into tears.
He had to give his dad a salty kiss full of tears halfway through his crying.
Otherwise, Father will neglect his duties and stop going to court.
The cub didn't know why he had such a heavy burden. He lay back on the bed, letting the hard mattress flatten his face, while the cub was still thinking about this heavy cub life of being loved by his father.
However, Chong Qianjue still remembered that he had made the cub cry in the morning. He did not know what the cub liked or what it liked to eat, but he remembered that the cub preferred sweet food when it ate last night, so he brought it a lot of small cakes and snacks, thinking about the cub's reaction when it saw these small gifts after it went back.
It will definitely be a very, very pleasant surprise.
Thinking of this, Chong Qianjue couldn't help but smile, a smile that amazed the other civil and military officials.
I've never seen the Fifth Prince laugh like that before.
They must have encountered something incredibly good.
Unfortunately, Chong Qianjue was in no mood to deal with them at all. He only wanted to go back and see his cub as soon as possible. His mood was exactly the same as those two-legged creatures who had super-healing cats and were eager to go home.
But the bored cub at home finally heard the system calling his name.
"Little one, I made a mistake when I was putting it in, but the mistake is about to be fixed now, so it's time to say goodbye to Daddy."
cub: !
The cubs at this stage have not yet gathered enough power to transform into adult form, nor can they acquire any more memories, so they are still true cubs with the thoughts of children.
The cub couldn't quite understand what the system was saying about fixing things or vulnerabilities, but the countless partings had already left deep marks on the cub's soul.
He immediately covered his ears and shook his head, trying to shake the system in his head unconscious.
"Goodbye, no goodbye."
The cub said with unusual firmness.
