Perhaps many people would fear such a gaze, but Muradin did not. To a battle-loving person, seeing nothing but docile gazes everywhere was what truly made life unbearably boring.
But he had never expected such a gaze to come from such a tiny creature.
Muradin widened his eyes, just wanting to get a good look at this sight he had not seen in countless eras, when a pale hand gently covered the fierce glint in those eyes.
"Shh." Sylvanas covered the little one's eyes and leaned close to whisper softly beside her ear. Her movements were extraordinarily gentle, and her arm swayed lightly like a cradle, as though soothing a baby who had been woken.
But everyone who had seen the little one's gaze just now knew that she was absolutely not a harmless baby!!
As Empress Xi soothed her, Gou Dan's eyes grew hazy again. She pouted, then slowly closed them.
Seeing the little one close her eyes again, Empress Xi smiled faintly and looked apologetically at the dumbfounded Mani opposite her. "I'm terribly sorry. The child is a little shy around strangers."
The corner of Mani's mouth twitched slightly. Was that really what being shy around strangers meant?
To be honest, he had even wondered whether that child might dare to attack Muradin directly!
Although it sounded utterly absurd, he was probably not the only one who had felt that way just now.
"Sorry to trouble you with showing us the way." Sylvanas smiled. "Let's get these children settled first."
"Oh, all right, all right." Mani hurriedly said, "Senior, please follow me."
Only then did the group come back to their senses and clear a path. Queen gently held the little one and was about to leave when Muradin, who had remained silent beside them, finally spoke.
"Windrunner."
