It's obvious he's spent too much time with the fox spirit sister and has learned to be direct.
Yanluo also decided to play a straight game. Since he likes playing a straight game so much, he wants to create a world where only straight games exist!
"Does the steamed bun girl like me?"
Shang Xinci's ears turned red, and now her face was red too!
"That day, I asked you if you liked snow, and you answered yes."
"From that moment on, my feelings for you went beyond just liking you."
"I've lived a long life, and it's not easy to fall in love with someone."
Wow, that's so straightforward...
Yan Luo's face flushed red instantly.
He was, after all, a naive young man, and couldn't withstand such a test.
Using this to test cadres is utterly despicable!
Shang Xinci was clearly not going to let Yan Luo off so easily, and hit Yan Luo right in the heart with a home run.
“You said you were going to Qingqiu, and I thought about going with you, but we’re just friends, and besides, it’s my personality, so I can’t find any reason to go with you.”
"I stood alone outside the Snow Emperor Palace, feeling very sad."
“When you appeared behind me, I actually wanted to cry, but I held back. I was a little too proud. I’ve lived for so long, what if you don’t like it if I still act like a child?”
When Yanluo took the bowl, she touched Shang Xinci's slippery little hands covered in dish soap, which startled both of them.
After a moment of silence, Shang Xinci continued.
“I was happy when you invited me to come with you, and I was happy when you told me everything about yourself.”
"I really like your name in the demon realm."
"Spring and Autumn Spring and Autumn."
"The northern district is forever covered in snow, but I have experienced the changing seasons."
"This is a very meaningful and lucky thing for me."
Yan Luo's eyes held a hint of indescribable emotion.
“When we first met, you were standing in front of the steamed bun stall. I thought to myself, this person is so strange. He looks like he's dressed quite well, but he just stands there and doesn't sell.”
Yan Luo chuckled.
"I really had no money. I was thinking of going outside the city to hunt some animal meat, but I didn't expect you to give me a steamed bun."
"What happened next was even more coincidental. We were hired by a caravan, and I never expected that you would be Xue Di."
Shang Xinci carefully wiped the bowl with a scouring pad, and smiled faintly.
"Thank you, thank you for being here."
"If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be standing here, and my people would either be destroyed or enslaved."
"Although I come from a predetermined historical period, your arrival has given me the opportunity to escape my destined fate."
"Yan Chunqiu, thank you."
The bowls were washed in the blink of an eye, and Yanluo, whose hands were clean, held Shang Xinci's hand, which was also clean.
In an instant, I arrived at the backyard, where there was a long bench swing that Yanluo had just installed on Tuesday.
He pulled Shang Xinci down to sit, pushed off the ground with his feet, and the swing began to sway back and forth slowly and gently.
Shang Xinci was a little confused as to why Yanluo had suddenly brought her to the backyard. She looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Yan Luo smiled slightly, her hand still holding Shang Xinci's hand.
"On the day we parted, I walked through the forest of Qingqiu, feeling a little depressed. I promised Miaomiao that I would never again bring little girls home from the demon realm like I did with Sister Ningbing."
“But I still broke the contract. I’m sorry to her for this. But if I don’t take you home, you will stay in the Snow Emperor’s Palace forever, enduring extreme loneliness, eating the same snow bear meat soup and buns, and continuing to live the long years alone.”
"I can make you steamed buns, but I'm afraid snow bear meat soup will be difficult. Is that okay?"
Shang Xinci looked at her hand being enveloped by Yan Luo's large hand, feeling warm and at ease, and shook her head.
"There's plenty of delicious food here, so it's okay."
Yan Luo's eyebrows curved as he gently stroked Shang Xinci's small hand. What an adorable little dumpling girl!
Shang Xinci spoke gently, but didn't show much emotion. Yan Luo knew he had to take it one step at a time and couldn't rush things. Shang Xinci had already done so much for him; the rest was up to time.
"Does Baozi Girl fit in this look?"
It was because of Yan Luo's words that Shang Xin Ci maintained this loli form, making it difficult to associate her with the renowned Snow Emperor of the demon realm.
Shang Xinci gently shook her head.
"This is fine. No matter what I look like, this is the real me, and that's enough."
"And Ningbing said you like this kind of figure, it's called the favorite of lolicon."
Yan Luo's lips trembled violently.
He has truly cemented his reputation.
Shang Xinci looks really cute now. She's about the same height as Tu Luoxue, with long black hair that falls to her waist. Her big green eyes look at Yan Luo with tenderness. She's so small that Yan Luo wants to hug her and cuddle her, especially with that slime king that's comparable to Bai Ningbing.
A ninth-tier expert is truly terrifying!
In reality, Yanluo wouldn't dare to do that. Even though they're good friends, she couldn't be too presumptuous.
It's commonly known as "I'm a little embarrassed".
But then again...
One thing at a time.
It gets quite cold at night, so can good friends keep each other warm?
Yan Luo reached out and picked up Shang Xinci, letting her sit on his lap with her back against his chest. He hugged the little bun girl, placed his hands on her soft belly, and above that was the Slime King.
Shang Xinci blushed deeply.
What are you doing?
Yanluo rested her head on Shang Xinci's right shoulder, inhaling her refreshing fragrance.
"We're good friends, that makes perfect sense, right?"
"It's quite cold, so we're keeping each other warm."
Shang Xinci buried her head in her chest, feeling her body temperature rise rapidly, as if she were about to burst into flames.
She nodded.
"Reasonable."
Yan Luo chuckled and enveloped the two of them in invisible and colorless chaotic energy. The chilly wind drew them closer together to prevent the loss of warmth, although this bit of cold posed no threat to the two ninth-level beings.
Shang Xinci increasingly felt that using this shrunken body was the right choice. It was warm in his arms, and she could curl up her legs and stay completely in his embrace. This reminded her of the distant past when she was a child and had also experienced this warmth in her mother's arms.
Perhaps it was too warm, or perhaps she was thinking of her mother, Shang Xinci slowly fell asleep in Yanluo's arms.
Yanluo smiled, picked her up, and instantly went to the master bedroom to put her down. "I'll take a shower after I wake up."
Sitting on the sofa, Tu Ke saw Yan Luo come out of the master bedroom after dinner, and asked in confusion.
"Uncle, weren't you downstairs washing dishes with Sister Ci?"
Yan Luo smiled mysteriously.
"Ninjas, aren't they amazing?"
Tu Keke pouted and tossed the remaining half of the chocolate bar to Yan Luo.
"I can't eat anymore, this is a treat for you."
"Hurry up and thank the Emperor for his great favor!"
Yan Luo immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yanluo took a bite of the chocolate bar and sat down next to the little golden retriever.
Who's washing things now?
Tu Keke answered while looking at her phone.
"Sister Xue and Sister Jing have finished showering, as have Sister Yi'er, Sister Ningbing, and Xiaosui. Now it's Sister Qing and Sister Miaomiao's turn. The master bathroom is empty."
"Then why don't you go to the master bathroom to shower?"
