All Right, Let's Go Get Treated
"Little Anqi, how about it? Want to fly a fun kite?"
"Huh? Is that okay? Then, can I put one shaped like a bear's panties?"
A group of elders stumbled together.
Clearly, amidst the bizarre scene and the harmonious atmosphere, Anqi followed her age-appropriate instincts, letting go of some things and letting go of others.
As Li looked into Anqi's bright, sparkling eyes, several parents huddled together and whispered among themselves.
"This is undignified! This is undignified!"
"But little Anqi seems really looking forward to it."
"How about just this once?"
"Kids are naturally mischievous and lively, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
After a rustling sound, the all-powerful Cang Xiaoxuan directed the three adults to work hard, and soon a lifelike bear panties kite was made on the spot.
When it was delivered to Anqi, she snatched it away and ran off as if afraid her beloved toy would be taken away.
"Master! Uncle-Master! I'm going to fly a kite! Hehehe!"
It was strange. Watching the delicate little girl holding a panty kite, running wildly across the grass with her short legs, a carefree smile she had never seen before on her face, Fu Hua was first astonished, and then suddenly felt very at ease.
"To my shame, even though she is my master, I have never seen her laugh like this before."
"You blockhead, what do you know about raising children? Have you ever taken her out to play?"
"No."
In fact, it wasn't just that she didn't go out; on many occasions, it was Anqi who took her master out to play.
Fu Hua scratched his face, speechless with embarrassment.
While Ji Lin secretly envied Anqi, she simply let go of the burden of her persona and laughed loudly in the wind.
She was very happy.
Because there was no threat here, she was certain that everyone in Great Void Mountain was sincere towards her.
"Master, Master, please make me another kite with long white legs and white silk stockings!"
"Wait! Where did you learn all this nonsense?"
"Huh? Is that so strange?"
Anqi tilted her head innocently, pointing at the large shorts-shaped structure in the sky and the kite of a cute girl from a two-dimensional mobile game.
Fu Hua's lips twitched.
"The moral order has collapsed! People's hearts have lost their ancient virtues!"
"But I want to..."
For elders, just act cute.
Anqi let her mind wander, and then gave him a wet, pure, and longing look.
Fu Hua's lips twitched again.
"... Wait for me for ten minutes."
"Yay! I love Master the most!"
Anqi jumped up and down happily.
Then Ji Lin suddenly wrapped her arm around Fu Hua's, pouting and shouting:
"Wait a minute! I'm the one who loves the Crimson Kite the most! It's me! Crimson Kite, I want a kite too, a kite shaped like Crimson Kite!"
"Ji Lin, why are you arguing with the child?!"
Beside him, Cang Xiaoxuan sipped his tea, slowly clicking his tongue and shaking his head.
"Tsk tsk tsk! What a chaotic scene! Who would have thought that even a blockhead like me would have this day! My two masters in heaven, you can rest assured now, your blockhead has finally met someone blind!"
She even wiped her eyes, which weren't actually wet, with a touch of emotion.
"Xiaoxuan, don't just stand there watching the show!!!"
Chapter 176 Okay, let's go heal our wounds.
With a magical girl mask draped over her profile and a candied hawthorn skewer in her mouth, Anqi strolled through the bustling night market, so happy she forgot herself.
Today, she is neither the cunning Thousand-Person Ruler nor the bitter orphan, but the most beloved child of Great Void Mountain.
No need for scheming, no need for pretense, just indulge in the affection of your elders and enjoy simple happiness.
This feeling is wonderful.
"Master, Master, there's a girl group performing over there! I want to watch!"
"Okay, okay, walk slowly, there are a lot of people, don't bump into anything."
With a gentle smile that conveyed both helplessness and growing acceptance, Fu Hua followed Anqi's lead.
The overall aesthetic appeal of the Honkai world seems to be enhanced by some kind of force, making it incredibly high.
Those who can perform on stage as part of a girl group are naturally incredibly beautiful girls—the kind who wouldn't be outshone even among a team of Valkyrie with high average looks.
Anqi's gaze lingered on the area of her beautiful legs, slender waist, and pert buttocks, occasionally drawn to her swaying breasts. She stroked her chin and nodded in admiration:
"Mmm, it's very moisturizing!"
"Indeed, they're all quite pretty! Little Anqi, you have good taste!"
"Hehe! Xiaoxuan is too kind!"
"How about we find some time to have Blockhead dress and perform like that? Trust me, Blockhead may look aloof, but he actually has quite a charm!"
"Isn't that a bad idea? I feel like Master will be angry."
"Or we could just get her drunk; I know her alcohol tolerance."
The two like-minded uncle and nephew whispered to each other.
However, Fu Hua was right beside her, so how could she miss these words?
Before she could even reprimand him, Ji Lin forcibly put his arm around her shoulder and turned Fu Hua towards himself.
"Crimson Kite, I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Keep dreaming!"
Fu Hua almost swore at the Shenzhou.
Even immortals have emotions, especially when their families have already brought them back to the human world. Their joys, sorrows, and other emotions naturally return to their long-dormant state of mind.
"Love you?~~"
A sweet smile, a sweet voice—the singer on stage ended the performance with a sweet pose and song that made people fall in love.
Anqi clutched her heart, a wide grin spreading across her face.
"Oh no, I think I'm in love, Xiaoxuan!"
"I must say, there's definitely something to it, it's quite intriguing."
"But no, my love belongs to Himeko, I've made up my mind!"
"As far as I know, Murata Himeko is S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, and the second-in-command of St. Freya, right? What kind of person is she? Why do I like her?"
Cang Xiaoxuan asked curiously.
She didn't care about her apprentice's sexual orientation. But she was very curious about the person her apprentice admired.
Ahem! It's not gossip! I'm just concerned about my junior disciple's important life event! As an elder, isn't that perfectly normal?
Anqi shifted her gaze from the girl group on stage, turned her head, and blinked her crystal-clear purple eyes a beat late.
Why do I like Himeko?
It seems she hasn't really thought about this question much.
Anqi tapped her chin lightly with her index finger, and muttered to herself uncertainly and hesitantly:
"Because after going through a lot of messy things, Himeko was the first person to care about me, and she's very beautiful... something like that?"
"Oh! I see! Love at first sight, and lust at first sight, is that how it is?"
"Well... I just like it, there's no reason why!"
"That makes sense, that makes sense. Feelings are irrational; just go with your own feelings!"
Cang Xiaoxuan nodded repeatedly, looking at Anqi with satisfaction.
Look how worry-free this little apprentice is! He's talented, hardworking, and smart. We don't even need to urge him to find a partner. He's ten or even nine times better than that blockhead who only practices martial arts and fulfills his mission all day long!
Oh, I almost forgot she also has a very troublesome blood feud!
"Hiss!"
Cang Xiaoxuan gasped, her little head starting to ache again.
"Mommy! My balloon! My balloon!"
Suddenly, a child's anxious voice came from not far away.
Just as Cang Xiaoxuan and Fu Hua shifted their gaze, they saw a petite and lithe figure, like a nimble kitten, weave through the gaps in the crowd, stepping on the roadside stone blocks, and drawing a graceful arc in the air.
A moment later, Anqi landed gracefully with a spin, her face cool and expressionless. She handed the balloon that had flown high into the air to the dumbfounded little girl.
"Confucius said, 'The actions of a sage can change customs and habits, and his teachings can be applied to the people. They are not merely actions that suit his own needs. Now, in the state of Lu, there are few rich people and many poor people. Taking their money will not harm his actions, but not taking their money will mean that no one will be redeemed. So, the balloon is yours, and the cotton candy is mine!'"
Anqi explained in a serious tone, then took the wad of stringy cotton candy from the little girl's hand with a clear conscience.
The little girl still had a blank expression.
The girl's mother reached out and touched her face, revealing a gentle, aunt-like smile.
Anqi turned around, gave a thumbs up to the dumbfounded Cang Xiaoxuan and Fu Hua, and smiled with cute dimples on her originally expressionless face.
A moment later, Fu Hua walked over, both amused and exasperated, and began to negotiate with the child's mother, who had a warm smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this child is a bit naughty."
"No, no, she's very cute. Not only is she very skilled, but she must also be very good at studying, right?"
"To be honest, she always gets first place in the grade in every exam!"
"That's amazing! They should be nurtured properly!"
The two naturally began exchanging parenting tips, although Fu Hua could only listen.
Cang Xiaoxuan also floated over and gently poked Anqi's forehead. There was no blame in her smile, only doting affection.
Want some cotton candy?
"Just because I saw it!"
Anqi proudly puffed out her chest, then stuck out her little pink tongue and greedily licked the sugar strands.
The little girl tugged at Anqi's arm, pointed her little finger at Cang Xiaoxuan, and her eyes lit up.
"Sister, is this a fairy?"
"No, it's the latest intelligent robot!" ×2
"Where can I buy it?"
"Still in the testing phase, this is a trade secret and cannot be disclosed!" ×2
Anqi and Cang Xiaoxuan simultaneously crossed their arms and said in practiced ease and tacit understanding.
Well, the same reasoning can be used to explain A-Lin in Floating Spirit Mode; just say it's the latest AI projection.
In this era where cutting-edge technologies emerge from time to time, such an explanation is enough to appease more than 90% of ordinary people. As for the remaining few who are overly curious or have ulterior motives, the authorities will naturally give Great Void Mountain face and handle the matter properly.
After a while, the girl and her mother held hands, and Anqi and Fu Hua held hands, and then they parted ways.
On one side of the crowd, a little girl chattered eagerly, seemingly begging to buy a robot like Cang Xiaoxuan, while her mother smiled faintly, her face filled with helpless tenderness.
On the other side of the crowd, Fu Hua and Cang Xiaoxuan stood on either side of Anqi, whispering something to her. Anqi blinked her big, bright eyes, looking left and right, her eyes gradually curving into smiles in the bright streetlights.
"Thank you, Master and Uncle."
