My Hand Slipped...

"... Grandpa's gotten addicted to this game, huh?"

After a long silence, Xiao Ding finally spoke up and complained.

"Poor Xiao Yan..."

Xiao Li had already begun to mourn for his younger brother.

However, the two brothers were extremely grateful that their grandfather's favorite target for trickery was not them!

Otherwise, if they stayed in the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, they'd probably be tormented to death by their own grandfather!

As for Xiao Yan being tricked...

There's nothing they can do about it. If someone else had done that, the two brothers would definitely have been united in their hatred.

But since it was Grandpa who did it, what else could they do besides pretend they didn't see it?

They certainly didn't want to draw their grandfather's firepower onto themselves!

Adhering to the principle of "better to die than to die myself," they could only watch as their beloved younger brother was played with.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, unaware that his two older brothers were mourning for him, was thinking of another way to test his grandfather.

Just then, Xiao Xiao gave Xiao Yan a divine assist!

"Father, I want to see the Big Blossom Flower."

Xiao Xiao Yan's arms, suddenly spoke on a whim.

Ever since the Xuanhuang Fortress incident, Xiao Xiao has taken a liking to the Great Flower that her father had told her about.

Therefore, Xiao Yan, who was extremely devoted to his daughter, often made Fire Lotus and set them off like fireworks during his time at the Starfall Pavilion, just to make his daughter smile.

To be honest, if Xiao Yan were placed in ancient times, he might very well be a King You of Zhou...

Of course, to avoid the so-called "big flower" hitting people, Xiao Yan usually throws it into the air.

For a time, a Fire Lotus would occasionally bloom in the sky above the Starfall Pavilion, causing panic throughout the sect as everyone thought an enemy was attacking.

Because of this, Medusa, who was afraid that Xiao Xiao would be spoiled by Xiao Yan, also spanked her daughter quite often during that period.

This really broke Xiao Yan's heart at the time.

However, faced with Medusa's "tyranny," Xiao Yan clearly dared not resist.

Unexpectedly, after some time, Xiao Xiao's craving to watch "Da Zi Hua" returned...

However, after making her request, Xiao Xiao still cautiously glanced at her mother, who was chatting happily with her two aunts not far away.

Well, Xiao Xiao felt that getting another spanking was worth it just to see a "big show"!

"Hmm~, Xiao Xiao, but your mother... um, wait, okay, Xiao Xiao, to avoid your little bottom getting a spanking from your mother later, Daddy will give you a little 'spark' today, okay?"

While coaxing his daughter, Xiao Yan had already come up with a way to test his grandfather.

As for Xiao Lin, he was unaware that Xiao Yan was so audacious; he was about to suffer a severe punishment!

"A little bit of Zihua? So that's 'Little Zihua'? If Daddy says 'Little Zihua,' then Mommy won't spank Xiao Xiao, right?"

Xiao Xiao asked, both puzzled and cautious.

If she could watch "Little Zihua" without getting a spanking from her mother, she would be more than happy!

"Of course! There's no danger in letting 'Little Flower' out, so your mother certainly won't spank you."

Xiao Yan said in a very certain tone.

He's a pro at soothing daughters!

Of course, he also wanted to take this opportunity, while comforting his daughter, to test his grandfather...

"Okay, okay! Xiao Xiao wants to see it! Daddy, please play 'Little Flower'!"

Upon hearing her father's words, Xiao Xiao's eyes immediately lit up!

This is the best!

Being able to watch the flowers bloom and avoid getting a beating from my mother is the best thing ever.

Faced with such temptation, how could Xiao Xiao possibly refuse?

Xiao Lin, standing to the side, naturally adored his great-granddaughter.

Therefore, seeing how happy she was, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't object to Xiao Yan showing her the Zihua flower.

In Xiao Lin's view, setting off "Zihua" is just setting off fireworks, right?

It's perfectly normal for children to enjoy watching fireworks.

Xiao Lin even wanted to set off a few fireworks for Xiao Xiao to see.

No one in the family, except for their Medusa Xiao Lin, could refuse Xiao Yan 'Xiao Xiao request.

This shows just how high Xiao Xiao's status is in the Xiao Household family!

Basically, the whole family dotes on her, afraid she'll break if they hold her in their hands or melt if they keep her in their mouths.

No matter how much princess treatment one receives, it's basically incomparable to Xiao Xiao's.

"Grandpa, is it alright if I put down a little flower for Xiao Xiao here?"

Xiao Yan's eyes One Transformation, and he smiled at his grandfather.

Xiao Lin, whose attention was entirely focused on Xiao Xiao, didn't notice anything amiss with Xiao Yan at that moment.

Once Xiao Xiao speaks, not to mention Xiao Yan, even Xiao Lin would want to give her a boost!

Therefore, Xiao Lin naturally did not object to Xiao Yan's question.

"It's alright. This mountain we arranged for you has already been surrounded by various Formations. Even if you unleash your full power, it won't have any effect!"

Xiao Lin waved his hand dismissively and said...

Xiao Yan is currently only at the Four-Revolution Dou Venerate. Even if he uses his Clan Mark, the Fire Lotus, the Formation on this mountain peak can withstand it!

This is the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, filled with all sorts of Formations.

With Xiao Yan's current strength, it's virtually impossible for him to cause any damage.

"Alright, I'm coming! Xiao Xiao, you better keep a close eye on the little flower Daddy put out for you!"

As Xiao Yan spoke, he had already put Xiao Xiao on the ground.

The little guy, on the other hand, stared at his father with sparkling eyes.

Xiao Lin didn't say anything, he just watched from the side.

"Buzz~"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan opened his right hand, and a Five-Colored Fire Lotus slowly took shape in his palm.

This Fire Lotus isn't very big, probably only about the size of an adult's thumb.

Although his grandfather said that even if he went all out, it would be fine, his grandfather was not the Palace Master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, so Xiao Yan naturally dared not act recklessly.

Even if the surrounding Formations could block his full power, he wouldn't do it.

That would be disrespectful to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!

"Slippery~"

Soon, a miniature Five-Colored Fire Lotus took shape as it spun in Xiao Yan's palm.

"Watch out, Little Zihua is coming!"

Xiao Yan grinned and then tossed the miniature Five-Colored Fire Lotus into the air.

"Bang"

"Boom"

The Fire Lotus rose high into the sky and then bloomed, bursting into a spectacular display of five-colored fireworks!

In the firelight, the faces of everyone below were reflected.

Xiao Xiao's eyes were now glazed over.

Sure enough, the flowers my own father put out are really beautiful!

However, while everyone was captivated by the small flower that Xiao Yan released, no one noticed that, under Xiao Yan's deliberate control, the spark that bloomed, after scattering, not only did not extinguish but instead fell downwards to a certain place.

Judging from the direction it fell, it seems to be the place where Xiao Lin is.

At first, Xiao Lin didn't pay any attention.

He pondered that the flowers Xiao Yan had released would eventually extinguish during their fall.

But he quickly realized something was wrong!

"Huh? How come that flame is so close to me, and it hasn't gone out yet?"

This question popped into Xiao Lin's mind.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Xiao Yan's "anxious" voice coming over.

"Grandpa, something's wrong! My hand slipped, and I threw the little flower too far! Get out of the way!"

When Xiao Yan shouted those words, the tiny spark was already less than ten meters away from Xiao Lin's head.
