Clingy Yan Ji

After Tang Miao dressed and washed up properly, it only took her about five minutes.

He had been in a hurry, but after leaving the room, he calmed down. After all, it would be a bit like a dog to leave right after picking Jiaojiao's fruit.

Even though he hasn't been human for many years, it's inevitable that he'll still have a sliver of humanity the first time...

After Tang Miao went downstairs, she saw that breakfast had been prepared, and Mu Nujiao seemed to have already eaten and had resumed her meditation.

As he came down, Mu Nujiao said as always, "Let's eat."

Although it was the same wording, the tone was clearly full of ambiguity.

"Jiaojiao, Mo Fan needs to see me about something and has to go out for a bit. He'll be back tonight, so I won't be eating." Although it was a lovingly prepared breakfast, time was tight, and I might need to spend Mu Nujiao, so breakfast was out of the question.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? How can you not eat?" Mu Nujiao paused, looking at Tang Miao with a puzzled expression.

"I'm not sure either, but he seemed to be in a hurry. Maybe I should eat something first and make him wait a few more minutes; it should be fine."

"You should go first. Buy some food on the way. It wouldn't be good if someone urgently needs to contact you and we're delayed," Mu Nujiao said, shaking her head.

Seeing that Mu Nujiao had said so, Tang Miao didn't pretend. Acting was never good if it went too far. "That's true, see you tonight then."

"Pop~"

After saying that, Tang Miao walked up to Mu Nujiao, gently kissed her cheek, and then turned and walked towards the entrance.

Although she already knew her enemy well, Mu Nujiao was still somewhat shy and lowered her head, letting out a soft "Mmm~".

After leaving the building, Tang Miao immediately called out his eldest daughter, who was cultivating, and then they combined their powers and flew towards another apartment.

"Eek~"

The eldest daughter was inexplicably locked up all night, and she was already a little irritable. Now that she was suddenly asked to do some work, she was somewhat dissatisfied.

Just as they were flying, Little Flame Ji suddenly ran out as well. However, because they were flying at full speed, she immediately ducked into the short-sleeved shirt inside Tang Miao's coat.

"Eek~"

Little Flame Ji came out because she saw that her older sister wasn't there. However, she was flying at full speed as soon as she came out, and she asked a question out of confusion.

Because of the contract, Tang Miao could understand everything she said.

However, in a hurry, Tang Miao had no time to respond and simply reached out and pressed her little head inside her short sleeve.

The Little Flame Ji, nestled in Tang Miao's arms, let out a series of unhappy whimpers.

A few minutes later, when Tang Miao arrived outside the apartment, she wasn't in such a hurry anymore. Come to think of it, she had to prepare a surprise for Tang Yue before she picked her up—otherwise, it would be difficult to explain back home.

Upon arriving at the apartment, Tang Miao comforted her two daughters as she walked into the apartment.

"Tang Miao?"

Just as he was about to go upstairs, Tang Yue's voice suddenly came from inside the apartment. Hearing this, Tang Miao looked over and said, "Yueyue, aren't you at home? Why did you run out?"

"I'm just about to go buy some groceries. Aren't you supposed to be back in a while?"

"I just wanted to give you a surprise," Tang Miao said with a smile.

Tang Yue gave a light "humph," then glared at him and said, "If I hadn't asked Mo Fan, I wouldn't have known you went to Scorching Plains!"

"You went, and everyone else is back now. Why are you only coming back now?" Tang Yue seemed to get angry as she spoke! She glared at Tang Miao, looking very upset.

"Don't be angry, Yueyue~ You know, right now it's not just me who needs resources, these two ancestors are also consuming a lot of energy!" Tang Miao said helplessly.

Tang Miao only knew how powerful they were; otherwise, she would have dumped them already! Their daily exertion was surpassing her own!

"Eek~"

"Eek~"

The two children, one big and one small, seemed quite dissatisfied with Tang Miao's accusations and started to refute him at the same time.

Tang Yue naturally recognized Snow Woman, but upon seeing Flame Ji, she was instantly captivated again... Plus, Flame Ji wasn't shy at all, and soon she was circling around Tang Yue.

"Yueyue, seeing how well you two get along, why don't you try awakening the Summoning Element for your fourth element? I'll break off my relationship with her, and then you two can form a contract?"

Before Tang Yue Tang Miao said this, Little Flame Ji immediately floated to Tang Miao's neck, her tiny arms seemingly trying to hug him.

"Waaaaah~"

Then, looking pitiful, she started whimpering at Tang Miao.

Flame Ji was saying, "Don't make contracts with others..." and she was also pleading with Tang Miao not to abandon her.

"Who said I didn't want you anymore? I just want you to help Mommy improve her combat power. Daddy is still your daddy." Tang Miao explained, looking at the clingy little boy.

"Eek~"

To everyone's surprise, after Tang Miao said that, Little Flame Ji immediately burst into tears. Her aggrieved little expression filled Tang Yue with heartache.

At Tang Yue's prompting, Tang Miao had no choice but to say, "Alright... alright, I was just saying. I'll respect your choice in the end."

After hearing what Tang Miao said, and with the comforting words from the Snow Woman beside her, Little Flame Ji cheered up again. This time, however, she stayed close to Tang Miao, afraid that he might abandon her again.

Tang Miao was also somewhat troubled by this... Flame Ji was very useful, but she didn't have fire attribute! Without fire attribute, Little Flame Ji's full power couldn't be fully utilized. But in her current state, getting her to follow Tang Yue was out of the question...

Moreover, the Flame Witch had given him a thousand and one instructions before leaving. Looking at his pitiful little girl, Tang Miao held her in his arms and said, "Daddy isn't worried about you eating too much; he just wants you to be able to better utilize your power."

"Eek~"

No matter what Tang Miao said, Little Flame Ji remained determined not to leave.

In the end, Tang Yue also shook his head. In his opinion, it was a good thing that Tang Miao had Flame Ji and Snow Woman by his side! Because Tang Miao always liked to go out into the wild to hunt demons. The outside world, which was full of Demon Beast, was ultimately dangerous. Compared to her, who was being promoted, Tang Miao obviously needed Flame Ji's help more.

"Let Little Flame Ji come with you, that way I can rest assured when you go out."

Seeing that Tang Yue had already said so, Tang Miao naturally couldn't say anything more. Besides, although they had only known each other for less than a month, his love for this clingy little girl was no less than his love for his older daughter. So if he didn't want to give it to Tang Yue, so be it. Just like Tang Yue said, she was about to be promoted, and she wouldn't have to do dangerous jobs anymore. So there was nothing to worry about regarding her comfort.
