Return to Spirit City

That really hit where it hurt.

Xiao Wu was genuinely numb, but when she looked at Liu Erlong, Liu Erlong had no words to refute it.

Because it was the truth!

After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuyun nodded and said, "How did that saying go? Lies don't hurt people—truth is the sharp blade."

Xiao Wu looked utterly heartbroken, on the verge of tears.

Liu Erlong continued rubbing Xiao Wu's head. "But Auntie likes you just the way you are—adorably silly."

"Xiao Wu, how about becoming Auntie's goddaughter?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Wu blinked at Liu Erlong.

Zhu Zhuyun looked at them both in bewilderment. How had things developed like this?

But then again!

Zhu Zhuyun thought about it. Even before she had arrived, Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong had been quite close, and lately, they had even been living together.

This was what they called hitting it off!

Liu Erlong looked at Xiao Wu and asked gently, "Xiao Wu, you don't want to?"

"I do!"

Xiao Wu hugged Liu Erlong and replied, "Mom Erlong!"

"Ah."

Liu Erlong looked at her affectionately. "Good girl. From now on, you're my, Liu Erlong's, goddaughter. Don't worry—Mom Erlong will be there for you from now on."

"Mom won't let anyone bully you anymore."

Uh.

Zhu Zhuyun truly had no idea what to say.

They had really become family just like that?

What she didn't know was that Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu had originally ended up this way in the original story as well. Although the plot had diverged—

The fact that the two of them could still come together proved that they were mutually drawn to each other.

The next day.

Su Chen woke up early. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw two identical faces in his arms—both of them Hu Liena.
