She just wanted to return to a normal life. She didn't want human civilization to come to an end.
Fang Yun looked at the pensive girl and laughed, her laughter carefree.
"Hehehe... What do you think this place is? This place of mine is a refuge for people of Chinese descent. Although I'm only in charge of this little
'Peony City,' my
responsibility is to protect the safety of all Chinese people within my jurisdiction. I may not be able to save a crumbling
building all by myself like you can... but I can certainly shelter
a lost child."
As she finished speaking, Fang Yun wore a teasing smile and playfully winked at the bewildered Fang Yuxuan.
"Me? A lost child?"
Fang Yuxuan pointed at herself, utterly baffled.
"Of course. What else?"
Fang Yun smiled as she spoke.
"Though this child is rather willful. She crossed the Pacific in three days and got lost halfway around the world,
but still..."
Fang Yun looked at Fang Yuxuan and smiled warmly.
"Since you're here, you might as well make yourself at home, right?"
Fang Yuxuan's mouth twitched. Somewhat displeased, she tapped the table.
"Uh... Getting lost is one thing, but setting that aside, there's something I need to make absolutely clear."
Fang Yun looked down at the girl, curious.
"What do you want to say?"
Fang Yuxuan cleared her throat and spoke in a childish voice, pretending to be mature:
"Come on, little miss. You're really something... Calling me a child? Don't let this appearance fool you. I'm nearly sixty years old. What do you mean, a child? Do you even
know who's older?"
Fang Yun's expression paused for a moment. Then, as if she'd heard a joke, she narrowed her eyes and burst out laughing.
"Hehehehe, you're quite the comedian~"
