"Wow, Hanya, it's been years, and you've grown so much!"
After seeing the daughter she'd missed day and night, Star River Heavenly Lord happily hurried over.
The two pink-haired girls stood together. Though they wore different clothes and only looked about fifty percent alike, their resemblance in spirit was over ninety percent.
Anyone could tell at a glance that they were mother and daughter.
"I remember you were only this tall when I left. I can't believe you're almost as tall as me now."
Star River Heavenly Lord gestured to her own chest, then stroked the pink-haired girl's smooth, silky hair. Her voice brimmed with joy at seeing how much her daughter had grown.
Qi Hanyua wasn't shy at all. She happily hugged her paternal mother, then, while her other mom wasn't paying attention, whispered:
"Mom, I secretly got a gaming console ready for you."
"When Mom isn't around, sneak over to see me. There've been a lot of fun new games lately, and my rank is really high. I'll carry you for sure."
Star River Heavenly Lord's delicate body trembled, and her eyes immediately filled with emotion.
This... This was what a real daughter was like! Her little padded jacket!
Unlike a certain someone, who did nothing but bully her and force her to study Daoist arts every day. She'd been practicing for over three hundred years already. Couldn't she have some fun?
"Absolutely!"
Star River Heavenly Lord nodded firmly, like a spy who'd just received an important mission from the organization.
"But even if Mom isn't around, we still have to watch out for Su Yuan. If he catches us, I'll get strung up and beaten."
Qi Hanyua cautiously glanced at Su Yuan. Only after seeing that he wasn't paying attention did she lower her voice and speak.
