Even at Six, He Still Had to Be Romantic

P.S.: The protagonist is eight years old.

In Spirit Hall's carriage.

Su Xuan rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Another day of being covered in injuries.

Uncle De yawned. He had just taken a nap in one of Moonlight Pavilion's guest rooms and was feeling quite refreshed.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? Why have you been rubbing your forehead this whole time? Did you accidentally bump into something?"

Su Xuan sighed. "Sigh, it's all tears if I talk about it. Let's not mention it."

Uncle Wei waggled his brows. "Don't say that, Your Highness. Do you remember what you said back then?"

Su Xuan frowned. "What?" He had a bad feeling about this.

Uncle Wei said in a strange tone, "Oh my, Senior Sister Liena, why are you so unhappy today? Did your wife beat you again, or what? Why not share your unhappy story so everyone can have a laugh?"

Uncle De added the finishing blow, "You made Her Highness Liena cry from anger right then and there."

Uncle Wei said, "And that wasn't even the end. Your Highness added, 'My greatest hobby is building my happiness on your suffering.'"

Su Xuan's face darkened. "Dock your monthly pay!"

Uncle De looked utterly smug. "Hahaha, Your Highness, didn't expect that, did you? Over the past few years, I've already had my next three years of salary docked. I'm not worried at all!"

Uncle Wei was equally smug. "Your Highness, I used up three years' worth of deductions last week!"

Su Xuan ground his teeth in fury!

Spirit Hall generally allowed advances of up to three years' salary, but did they really think he had no way to deal with them???

Uncle De and Uncle Wei continued their mockery. "Oh my, Your Highness, why not share your sad story so everyone can have a laugh?"

Su Xuan sneered. "Heh. Looks like you've been lacking fights lately and your hides are itching. How about I have Elder Ju train you properly when we get back tonight?"

Uncle De was the first to drop to his knees, his expression earnest. "Your Highness, Old De was wrong. I beg Your Highness for forgiveness."

While secretly cursing his damned partner for surrendering and betraying him so quickly, Uncle Wei dropped to his knees just as fast. Only a second later, he offered an equally sincere apology. "Your Highness, Old Wei knows he was wrong too. I beg Your Highness for forgiveness."

Their movements were practiced, and the process was familiar.

Su Xuan sneered, resting his elbow on his knee and propping his chin on his palm, his gaze cruel. "What? Why aren't you acting so arrogant now?"

"We wouldn't dare, Your Highness."

Uncle De and Uncle Wei were bitter inside. That old chrysanthemum was a nightmare once they landed in his hands. Getting beaten black and blue was already considered a good outcome. This little humiliation was nothing; as long as they did not end up in that old chrysanthemum's hands, it was fine.

Su Xuan sprawled across the carriage sofa and muttered softly, "Ah, why is my neck a little sore?"

Uncle De reacted quickly. With a look of utter devotion, he said solemnly, "Your Highness, this old servant will massage it for you at once."

Uncle Wei silently cursed and swore that he would practice his speed properly tonight.

Su Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then pressed his legs and muttered:

"Ah, why are my legs a little sore today too?"

Uncle Wei made a snap decision, knowing he could not miss this chance. With a fawning expression, he said, "Your Highness, shall this old servant massage them for you?"

"Heh."

Uncle De suddenly looked puzzled. "Your Highness, this isn't the road to Spirit Hall?"

Su Xuan said calmly, "Uncle De, do you remember the plan I arranged earlier?"

"Today?"

"Yes. Today."

Gu Yuena sat on a swing, boredly kicking her ivory-white, smooth little calves as she looked up at the sky.

Gu Yuena touched the necklace around her neck. A silver dragon scale gleamed brilliantly as she murmured, "Brother, you haven't forgotten what day it is today, have you?"

The four girls had gone sightseeing around Heaven Dou today, but Gu Yuena had left early.

Zhu Zhuqing was someone Su Xuan acknowledged. In any case, she spent more time around Gu Yuena, and since Gu Yuena had gone back, Zhu Zhuqing happened to want to improve her strength as well, so she returned with her. During their journey, she had long realized how unfathomably powerful Su Xuan's younger sister was, and had always hoped to learn a few moves from her.

As for Hu Liena, she had gone shopping without hesitation. Although she was the Pope's disciple, this was also her first time visiting the vast Heaven Dou Empire.

The only one accompanying her was a pink rabbit, Xiao Wu. Whether rabbits and foxes naturally got along or not, the two girls had hit it off immediately. They wandered all over Heaven Dou Imperial City together and had a wonderful time.

By evening, Hu Liena and Xiao Wu were already seated at the dining table.

They had spent the entire day exploring and discovered so many interesting things. They were excitedly sharing them with Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuena was clearly in a bad mood, her expression cold. Xiao Wu was still rather afraid of the silver-haired girl and did not even dare breathe too loudly.

Looking at the Hot Pot already boiling before them, Hu Liena asked softly, "Are we still waiting for Su Xuan? Why don't we eat first?"

"Wait."

Gu Yuena spoke for the first time. Though she was not the oldest, her words carried the most authority—not merely because of her status, but also because of her overwhelming strength among the girls.

For a moment, the dining table fell quiet.

Gu Yuena looked out the window, her eyes slightly unfocused as she touched the necklace at her neck. Brother, it's already getting late.

As though it were a signal,

Hu Liena walked up to Gu Yuena with a teasing smile. "Oh my, little Yuena, come outside."

Gu Yuena frowned. "What's going on?"

Hu Liena wiped at her eyes sorrowfully. "Your brother is such a cryptic person. He only knows how to order me around and never tells me why. All I know is that this is the signal. Your brother said that once you heard it, you were to go outside."

Gu Yuena furrowed her brows. What was this supposed to mean?

But there was no reason for Hu Liena to lie to her.

After the four girls spoke briefly, they walked outside together.

As though it were a signal.

The moment Gu Yuena stepped outside,

Countless fireworks shot into the sky in a rush, blossoming like flowers competing in beauty and unfurling their lovely petals.

With their petals, the countless fireworks painted the pitch-black night sky into a dazzling sea of colors.

Gu Yuena stared blankly. Were these being set off for her?

Boom, boom, boom... A massive wave of fireworks poured down from the sky, becoming red and golden "waterfalls" with the grandeur of a river plunging down three thousand feet.

Boom boom boom!!

Another enormous firework exploded.

But this time, it was no longer a brilliant, dazzling pattern or anything else.

It was a giant flower formed from countless smaller fireworks, rigorously arranged into place—a flower so radiant and gorgeous it was beyond compare.

It was not over yet. Another pattern formed through careful arrangement appeared. This one was simpler, just eight ordinary characters: "To Su Xuan's Most Beloved Sister." Yet it still held countless details; for instance, the colors of the lettering were made from different fireworks, bright and multicolored.

After that round of fireworks burned out, the final round began. It was also the longest, burning for a full three minutes.

"Happy Birthday, Gu Yuena."

That night, every person in Heaven Dou City remembered this unprecedented fireworks extravaganza.

It was an absolute feast for the eyes.

Everyone would envy the girl named Gu Yuena that night.

Tonight, she was a true princess.

Gu Yuena stared in a daze.

Su Xuan had prepared this for her. How long had it taken to prepare such a grand spectacle?

A faint shimmer appeared in Gu Yuena's violet eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze dimmed slightly. She, too, wanted such a grand display.

Hu Liena felt somewhat sour inside. She had not known about this beforehand either, and did not know what the Spirit Hall Saint Son was thinking now.

Xiao Wu was completely stunned.

On the second floor of Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Yuehua stared blankly. No girl could dislike such a romantic scene, one meant to announce itself to the entire city.

Su Xiaomei blinked her big eyes. "Teacher, are you jealous?"

Tang Yuehua blushed slightly and rapped her on the forehead. "You're just a child. What are you thinking about?"

Su Xiaomei clutched her head and dodged.

"Ow, Teacher, that hurt."

Tang Yuehua began to doubt herself. Had she really hit that hard? That boy in white had said the same thing.

"Teacher, if someone proposed to you like this, would you agree?"

Tang Yuehua fell silent. Would she agree?

"Teacher, do you think that Su Xuan is the Su Xuan we met today?"

Tang Yuehua suddenly snapped awake. They actually had the same name, yet she was incomparably certain that they were the same person. After all, no one but a youth like him could make such a grand gesture.

"His sister is so lucky to have such a wonderful brother."

Su Xiaomei's face was full of envy.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Xue Qinghe was playing with his younger sister.

Xue Ke looked at the sky. "Big Brother, look! It's so beautiful."

Xue Qinghe looked at those two familiar names in the sky, his expression slightly dazed.

"Have they come to Heaven Dou now?"

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong threw a tantrum. "Dad, I want that on my birthday too!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly. What was he supposed to do about this? "Rongrong, we don't need to pursue such things..."

"Ahhh! I don't care, I don't care! I want it!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly. This daughter of his...

Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo exchanged looks, their eyes filled with helplessness. They were powerful, but how could they possibly understand the principles behind fireworks?

Two thousand meters in the air.

In a colorful hot-air balloon.

This was one of the finished products Su Xuan had brought directly from the Center World.

"Your Highness, if we jump from here, we'll die from the fall, won't we?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Trust science. The parachutes I gave you will definitely help you land safely."

Uncle De said resentfully, "Your Highness, Chrysanthemum Douluo is behind you, so of course you're not afraid. But I have elderly parents above me and young children below me..."

Su Xuan said impatiently, "If you delay things, I'll tell your wife about how you secretly went to Qingyu Tower behind our backs."

Uncle De, who was henpecked by his wife, turned solemn. "Your Highness, this old servant will devote himself to you until death."

With that, Uncle De jumped without hesitation.

Su Xuan looked at Uncle Wei. "I recall that the two of you went together back then..."

Uncle Wei looked tragic. "Your Highness, say no more. I'm going!!"

Su Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Seriously, on such a festive day, did they really think he could not deal with them? This Saint Son had plenty of dirt on them.

"Elder Ju, once I jump, take control of this hot-air balloon and land it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled. "Yes, Your Highness."

Su Xuan hesitated no longer and leaped directly over the edge.

Su Xuan's protective gear was quite excellent. Goggles and everything else were all in place.

The sound of the wind grew louder. The scenery before his eyes flashed past in a blur, and as the black dot on the ground grew larger and larger, Su Xuan opened his parachute at the right moment to slow himself down.

Su Xuan's speed dropped sharply. Once he reached a suitable altitude, he took out a small knife and cut away the parachute.

Second soul skill, Power of Heaven and Earth.

Golden light gradually emerged around Su Xuan.

Tonight, he had to look handsome!

On the ground,

No matter how splendid the fireworks were, they were only fleeting. All they left people with were the most beautiful memories.

Gu Yuena remained where she was, incredibly happy. Su Xuan had once again given her an unexpected surprise. He had never disappointed Gu Yuena, and he never would.

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred. A group of black-clad figures appeared.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were alarmed, but Hu Liena seemed to have expected it.

With a light laugh, she gave them a brief explanation and quietly pulled the two of them away.

Gu Yuena looked at the black-clad people and sensed no malice from them. What were they here for? Gu Yuena was puzzled, but it was probably another arrangement by her brother.

Their movements were practiced, as though they had rehearsed countless times. Within just a few minutes, they had arranged candles in the shape of a heart, with Gu Yuena standing right at its center.

Uncle De and Uncle Wei had other tasks.

At that moment, a figure descended from the sky, making a handsome entrance.

He wore white ceremonial robes, and his messy black hair had clearly been styled with wax, making him look flashy and handsome. It was a pity that he was still a little short for now, but his flawless face made up for it. He held a bouquet of flowers in one hand and had a rose clenched between his teeth.

Then music began to play. It was Uncle De and Uncle Wei, fiddling with a large speaker. Although those two crude fellows could not possibly understand how it worked, that did not matter. The tools Su Xuan gave them were foolproof and easy to use. In any case, nothing went wrong, since this was the most important thing Su Xuan had done lately.

The boy in white slowly walked toward Gu Yuena. Who else could it be but Su Xuan?

Gu Yuena's eyes reddened. Covering her mouth, she choked back a soft sob.

Su Xuan walked over with a smile. The colorful hot-air balloon descended behind him, lowering a slide.

"Hello, beautiful." Su Xuan raised a brow, his tone frivolous. The smile in his pale golden eyes could not be concealed. "May I invite you on a nighttime sightseeing trip?"

Gu Yuena laughed through her tears, extending her fair little hand with a soft smile. "Of course I would, handsome."

Su Xuan led Gu Yuena slowly onto the hot-air balloon. Tonight, he would take Gu Yuena on a nighttime tour of Heaven Dou City, and there was even a one-of-a-kind candlelit dinner aboard the balloon.

As for everyone else, Su Xuan said with a playful grin, "Everyone, go back and eat first. I'm celebrating my sister Na'er's birthday with her, so don't save us any food."

Zhu Zhuqing looked calm as she slowly left. At least that black crescent-moon necklace was still there. As for anything else, she would not fight for it for now.

Hu Liena gritted her teeth. Another day of being used as a tool.

Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with envy.

In the hot-air balloon, Gu Yuena lay limply in Su Xuan's arms.

"Brother."

"Mm? What's wrong?"

"I love you."

Su Xuan chuckled softly and gazed into Gu Yuena's large purple eyes, which were filled with adoration. Lowering his head, he gently kissed the girl's pale red lips.

After a long while, their lips parted.

"I love you too."

Please subscribe to the official release. My results are really awful. (Crying)

Those who have some to spare...
