"You've really had it rough—having to help deliver takeout after the battle." Qianyi smiled as he handed Texas a steaming slice of apple pie.
"Not at all. Calling it a battle would be overstating it. We barely helped; you did all the work, Boss." Texas took the pie and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Qianyi had not given her that damned pineapple pizza. Otherwise, she truly would not have known whether to accept it or not.
After setting the apple pie aside, Texas turned her gaze toward Madoka Kaname, who was playing with Emperor, Exusiai, and Croissant, as well as Akemi Homura, who was silently OMOing nearby. Whether in appearance or temperament, the two girls were clearly several years younger than everyone present.
It was so late, and Qianyi had brought two children with him. It was hard not to let her thoughts wander in a different direction.
"These two are..." Texas asked curiously. "Your daughters, Boss?"
"No!" The coffee Qianyi had just taken into his mouth nearly sprayed out. "Do I really look that old? I'm only seventeen this year, okay?"
"Huh—?!!" Texas's tail puffed up instantly as though electrocuted.
Seventeen?!
What kind of international joke was this?!
With that Tai Xu Sword God move of yours, even Siracusa's entire upper echelon combined with the Lord of Wolves would not be enough for you to split apart with one sword strike. With that kind of strength and skill, even Yan's Old Heavenly Master probably could not manage it. No one would doubt you if you said you were some ancient monster thousands of years old, yet you said you were seventeen?!
"Then... then doesn't that mean..." Texas swallowed. "You're younger than me?"
"Seventeen years and eight months. I'm still a few months away from adulthood," Qianyi said.
