Helian Nie was so startled by Helian Si's sudden howl that his brow twitched violently.
However, seeing the ugly thing crying so pitifully, he just couldn't bear to scold it. Oh well, it's too old for it.
For the first time, Helian Nie questioned his own age. Thirty-five? Was he really that old?
"Hiccup, that's right."
After Helian Si finished howling, he remembered his business and rummaged through the brocade pouch he had brought, finally pulling out a handful of amulets.
Each amulet is embroidered with the two characters for "peace" in a crooked and awkward manner; this embroidery technique was created by Helian Si.
"Father, please keep these with you. I embroidered these for you during this time. You must keep them with you."
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Helian Nie raised a hand to rub his temples, somewhat unable to bear looking at him. What was this ugly thing thinking?
When I was a chubby baby, giving people several lucky charms was fine; I figured I was just a little kid who didn't understand these things.
Why are they giving away such a large quantity now? It looks like there's even more than when he was a child.
"Father, you don't understand, do you? What I'm telling you is very useful. One peace charm ensures one peace, and a bunch of peace charms ensure a bunch of peace."
"Look, when you were little, I gave you a bunch of good luck charms, and you came back safe and sound."
Helian Si ignored Helian Nie's refusal and began stuffing the amulets into the lining of Helian Nie's imperial armor.
They stuffed it wherever they could fit, especially into the vital spots around the heart, where Helian Si stuffed in a few extra.
Where did this twisted logic come from?
Helian Nie was helpless, but seeing Helian Si busy with such seriousness, he sighed inwardly, "Oh well, let this ugly thing do whatever it wants."
Suddenly, Helian Nie frowned, his narrow peach blossom eyes lowered slightly, and he stared at Helian Si suspiciously, "What did you put in the amulet?"
Helian Si's eyes lit up, his beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into a smile that was both mischievous and cunning.
"Father, you felt it? Oh, it's nothing. It's just that you gave me a piece of black iron when I turned ten."
Helian Nie's eyelids twitched violently; he sensed something was amiss. Sure enough, Helian Si continued speaking, quite proudly.
"I saw it was a big, hard lump, and ugly. When I had nothing else to do, I had someone break it into small pieces of scales, thinking of making an iron fish to play with."
Helian Nie's face was incredibly dark and gloomy, a huge, hideous mass. Did this ugly thing even know that piece of ten-thousand-year-old black iron was worth a fortune?
It would be priceless to make into a weapon, but she just spends her free time cutting it into small pieces to play with, making a fish!
Helian Si had no idea, and waved his hand, continuing to ramble on, "But the construction is too slow. By the time they finish, I won't want to make iron fish anymore."
However, the craftsman said that the fish scales forged from this black iron are exceptionally hard, impervious to swords and blades!
"So I had a flash of inspiration and put them into the amulet. Although they are fish scales, they are different when placed on you, Father."
At this point, Helian Si paused, looked at Helian Nieyi, and said righteously, "These are dragon scales!"
Helian Si blinked his eyes vigorously, flatteringly saying,
"How is it, Father? Isn't the dragon scale armor your sweet little girl gave you warm and thoughtful?"
Helian Nie: "…………"
