"You little rascal, I'm not about to get jealous of my own girlfriend's talent."
Xiao Ling looked down at the adorable girl in his arms, ruffled her hair, and teased her.
"Now that you've awakened your bloodline, Xun'er, you'll probably surpass Brother Xiao Ling very soon. Then I'll have to live off you!"
Xun'er: "???"
She didn't know what it meant to live off someone, but she guessed that when she became stronger than Brother Xiao Ling, he would hide behind her...
Thinking this, Xun'er smiled sweetly and said in her clear voice,
"Then Xun'er can just cultivate more slowly. That way, Brother Xiao Ling can show off his amazing skills..."
"You little rascal..." Xiao Ling shook his head with a wry smile.
That night, after they had dinner together, he played with the little girl in her room for a while longer, until she fell asleep.
Looking at the little sleeping beauty before him, Xiao Ling couldn't help leaning down to place a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead. Then he tucked her in before finally leaving.
But the moment Xiao Ling closed the door, the beauty who was supposed to be asleep opened her eyes. Her long lashes fluttered, and a blush spread across her little face. She lifted a hand as smooth as jade and touched the warmth on her forehead. Then, facing the direction he had gone, she gently closed her hand, as if she wanted to hold him in her grasp.
"Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er can be very greedy, you know~"
"Hehe~"
Tucked beneath the covers with only her little head showing, Xun'er giggled and murmured to herself.
By then, Xiao Ling had returned to his room, completely unaware of what had happened after he left.
He sat on the White Jade Meditation
