Guang Ling: Big Brother, I Picked Up a Little Girl

After finishing her meal at home, Xiao Mo kept staring at the doorway. She was waiting for Dad to bring Mom home.

But she waited and waited, and they never came back. So she made a bold decision: she would go out and look for them.

This time, however, she did not plan to bring Big Bear along, because she had heard her father mention something.

Big Bear was an extremely precious animal. There were many bad people outside who wanted to steal him away, so staying home was the safest option.

What she did not know was that her own appearance was far more dangerous. Xiao Mo was adorable now, but she had completely inherited Qian Renxue's looks. When she grew up, she would definitely become a stunning beauty capable of toppling kingdoms.

Su Xiao Mo sneaked out the door and walked for several hours before finally seeing a city.

For a four-year-old child, walking so far had already exhausted her.

Just as Su Xiao Mo wanted to find somewhere to rest, the fragrance of roasted meat suddenly drifted into her nose.

Following the scent, Su Xiao Mo unconsciously headed in another direction, leaving the city and walking toward the nearby forest.

By the time Su Xiao Mo reached the source of the aroma, drool was already spilling from her mouth. Her eyes were fixed on the roasted rabbit before her.

Meanwhile, Guang Ling was gnawing on a rabbit leg. When he saw Su Xiao Mo, he froze as well.

With his strength, he should have easily noticed someone approaching. Yet this little girl had suddenly barged in, and he had not sensed her at all.

Su Xiao Mo looked at the older boy before her, who did not seem much older than she was and looked like a boy next door, with quite a bit of frost covering his left eye. She greeted him.

"Hello, big brother! Your roasted rabbit smells so good! Can you share some with me? I can buy it with money!"

As she spoke, Su Xiao Mo took several Gold Soul Coins from her pocket. Su Yan had given them to her as spending money to buy candied hawthorns.

Guang Ling snapped out of his shock. Looking at Su Xiao Mo again, he somehow felt a sense of closeness toward her. Moreover, this child looked very much like Qian Renxue.

But when he heard Su Xiao Mo call him big brother, Guang Ling could not help but burst into laughter.

"Ha ha, little one, I'm old enough to be your grandfather. I'm no big brother."

Su Xiao Mo tilted her head, looking utterly confused!

"You're lying! Aren't grandpas supposed to have white hair, wrinkled faces, and kind-looking expressions?"

Guang Ling could only feel helpless about that. It was a trait of his martial soul. He did not want to remain in the form of a child all the time either!

"Little one, there's no reason for me to lie to you. It's because of my martial soul's special nature. My real age is actually over ninety!"

Guang Ling did not know why he was explaining himself to this little girl, but he felt that if he deceived her, he would be very upset.

Seeing the serious expression on Guang Ling's face, Su Xiao Mo did not think he was lying. She stopped dwelling on the matter and pointed at the roasted rabbit instead.

"Um, I want to eat that. Can you give me some?"

Guang Ling immediately stood up and handed the entire roasted rabbit to Su Xiao Mo.

"It's fine. I'll give it to you!"

As Guang Ling watched Su Xiao Mo feast away, her mouth covered in grease, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her face for her.

Guang Ling had a feeling that he wanted to take this little girl back to Spirit Hall and let his big brother and the others see her.

Guang Ling was a man of action. With that thought in mind, he looked at Su Xiao Mo and asked gently.

"Little one, do you want to come to my house and play? The food there is much better than roasted rabbit."

Su Xiao Mo nodded without hesitation. She did not know why she agreed.

She simply had a feeling in her heart that made her unable to resist trusting Guang Ling, trusting that he would not hurt her.

Upon hearing Su Xiao Mo's answer, Guang Ling did not waste a word and directly tossed away the rabbit in her hands.

Then he picked her up. Thin ice wings grew from his back, and with a gentle flap, he shot into the sky and carried her away.

When Su Xiao Mo saw that her roasted rabbit had been thrown away and that she had been lifted into the sky, she could not hold back her tears any longer.

Seeing the little girl crying in his arms, Guang Ling inexplicably felt a pang of heartache and could not help trying to comfort her.

"Little one, don't cry. Once we get to my house, I'll roast you rabbit, duck, chicken, and suckling pig. How about that?"

Hearing that there would be so much delicious food, Su Xiao Mo immediately stopped crying and looked at Guang Ling expectantly.

"Really?"

Guang Ling nodded solemnly. "I never lie!"

Hearing that, Su Xiao Mo nodded happily and agreed. She did not cry anymore.

Seeing that he had soothed the little girl, Guang Ling did not delay any further. He sped forward at full force and reached the Consecration Hall before long.

Once they arrived, Guang Ling gently set Su Xiao Mo down, then used his soul power to shout in several directions.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, hurry over! I picked up a child!"

Hearing Guang Ling's call, the others did not hesitate. They turned into streaks of light and arrived at the Consecration Hall.

When they arrived at the Consecration Hall and saw the little girl before them, each of them felt an indescribable sense of closeness.

Qian Daoliu in particular, the moment he saw Su Xiao Mo, felt an urge to pick her up and protect her in his arms.

"Fifth Brother, where did you find this child? Why do I feel like I want to be close to her?"

The one speaking was Golden Crocodile, the Second Consecrator. Though he was speaking to Guang Ling, his eyes remained fixed on Su Xiao Mo.

As Su Xiao Mo looked at the people who had suddenly appeared, she felt somewhat frightened at first, but the feeling quickly faded.

As she watched Golden Crocodile speak, she only felt that the person before her gave her a great sense of security.

At last, Qian Daoliu could not resist stepping forward and picking up Su Xiao Mo. He asked in an exceptionally gentle voice.

"Little one, what's your name? Where are your father and mother?"

Su Xiao Mo did not resist Qian Daoliu's embrace. It felt just like when her father held her—gentle and safe.

Su Xiao Mo did not answer Qian Daoliu's question. Instead, she kept examining him with her big eyes.

Qian Daoliu wore a dazzling golden robe, his golden hair neatly draped behind him. He looked only thirty or forty years old.

"Uncle, what's your name? Why do you feel like Mom?"

"Mom?"

When Qian Daoliu heard that, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"Xiao Mo, what is your mother's name? Why do you say I feel like your mother?"

Su Xiao Mo thought for a moment, then suddenly caught sight of the angel statue nearby. She pointed at it and said.

"That statue. Mom has one just like it behind her too. I don't know Mom's name. I only heard Dad call her Xue'er."

When Qian Daoliu heard the words Xue'er, a surge of fury suddenly rose in his heart. It felt as though a flower he had carefully tended had been taken away, pot and all, by someone else.

But with Su Xiao Mo in his arms, Qian Daoliu still suppressed that feeling. He still held onto a trace of hope.

Qian Daoliu summoned his Angel martial soul, then smiled at Su Xiao Mo and asked.

"Xiao Mo, look at the martial soul behind me!"

Su Xiao Mo widened her eyes at the martial soul behind Qian Daoliu and asked curiously.

"Wow, Uncle, why do you have the same martial soul as my mom?"

Hearing that, Qian Daoliu's eyelid twitched for no apparent reason. A nameless fury surged in his heart, but he still forced it down and showed a smile.

"Because your mother is my granddaughter, and I am your grandfather."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, everyone present was stunned. But their expressions were soon overtaken by the anger that surged forth.

Meanwhile, Su Yan, who was strolling through the skies above the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, suddenly shivered.

"What's going on? Why do I have a feeling I'm about to get beaten up by a group?"
