âChangsheng, Xi Yue, youâve come.â
In the courtyard, Lu Miaoge had her hair pinned into a bun, wearing a snow-white dress. Her face was pretty and gentle, quietly watching Lu Wangshu eat with gusto.
Seeing Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue arrive, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
âSister Miaoge.â
âMiaoge.â
Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly, then turned to look at Lu Wangshu.
The little girl was holding a large bowl, scooping food earnestly with a small spoon.
Her cheeks puffed out like a hamsterâs, chubby and incredibly cute.
âIs it that delicious?â
Upon seeing his daughterâs blissfully happy face, Lu Changsheng couldnât help but feel his appetite stir.
âMmm~ Delicious~ Iâm eating now; donât disturb me~â
Lu Wangshuâs muffled voice replied.
âAlright, alright, take your time eating.â
Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng chuckled indulgently.
He knew his daughter disliked talking or being disturbed while eating.
Immediately, three Foundation Building Great Cultivators watched Lu Wangshu eat with a serious face.
After nearly finishing her meal, the little girlâs eyes narrowed into a line, her face showing a content and adorable expression. She patted her little stomach and sweetly called out to Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue: âDaddy, Mommy!â
âStill remembering Daddy and Mommy, huh.â
âWangshu, Daddy is asking you, if Daddy fell into Bi Shui Lake, would you first eat the lotus eight-treasure rice, the white jade bun, or the jade dew lotus seed soup?â
Lu Changsheng asked his daughter.
âHmmâŠ.â
After thinking for a moment, Lu Wangshu lifted her head and said: âFirst eat the jade dew lotus seed soup!â
âThen what would you do if Daddy fell into Bi Shui Lake?â
Lu Changsheng teased his daughter.
Lu Wangshu tilted her head to look at her naively serious father and said: âArenât you still here? How could you fall into the lake?â
âDaddy is saying âifâ. If Daddy fell into the lake, would you save Daddy?â
Lu Changsheng continued to inquire.
âI wouldnât.â
Lu Wangshu cutely laid her little head on the table, speaking candidly.
âWhy not?â
Lu Changsheng urged further.
âBecause Daddy, you can fly on your own, and Iâm too small, I couldnât save you.â
Lu Wangshuâs voice carried a hint of disdain.
âMy Wangshu is so smart. Daddy can fly, and Wangshu is so small, such a savior.â
Xiao Xiyue, next to her, had a face full of motherly adoration, rubbed her daughterâs little head, and said happily.
âHee hee hee, Mommy, letâs go fishing,â
Lu Wangshu said cheerfully to Xiao Xiyue.
Having gone fishing with Lu Changsheng a few times, she had fallen in love with fishing and insisted on riding the Cold Blue Dark Turtle to fish in Bi Shui Lake every day. đŻđNá»ïŒąĐđŹ
But due to the grand ceremonies these past few days, nobody had accompanied her.
âWangshu can fish now?â
Xiao Xiyue was somewhat surprised to hear this.
She didnât expect her daughter to have learned fishing at just five years old.
Could it be that Lu Wangshu was still so little that the fish in Bi Shui Lake could pull her into the water, could they?
âIâm super good at fishing! Not like Daddy, who canât catch any fish!â
Lu Wangshu declared with her head held up high.
âHow can you talk like that, Daddy? I was just not being serious.â
Lu Changsheng, hearing this, immediately felt indignant.
âNyeh nyeh nyeh~â
Lu Wangshu made a cheeky face, giggling.
âI had prepared some candied hawthorns for you, but now, youâre not getting any!â
Lu Changsheng snorted lightly as he spoke.
âAh, I knew Daddy was the best, the most doting on me~â
Lu Wangshu immediately propped up her chin with both hands, looking adorably earnest.
âHmph.â
Lu Changsheng snorted lightly again.
âDaddy, Daddy, please~ Youâre the best, Daddy~â
Lu Wangshu cooed sweetly.
âYouâve just had a full meal, you canât eat more.â
Lu Changsheng, listening to the coquettish pleading, laughed and said.
âNo, no, please, mmm~â
Lu Wangshu hopped off the chair and clung to Lu Changshengâs legs, continuing to act coquettishly.
âSuch a grown-up, yet still acting like a child.â
Xiao Xiyue watched the scene unfold, showing fake anger at Lu Changsheng, signaling him to give his daughter the candied hawthorns.
âAlright, alright, you really are a little foodie, but thereâs only one skewer.â
Lu Changsheng took out a food box from his Storage Bag, opened it in front of Lu Wangshu, making the little girl drool in anticipation.
He took out a skewer of candied hawthorns for his daughter.
Then he took out another skewer for Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue.
The two women couldnât help but smile warmly when they saw they were also included.
Still smiling, they each took a candied hawthorn and tasted it.
âMommy, Mommy, can I try the one you have, please?â
After licking her own for a bit, Lu Wangshu looked at Xiao Xiyue and Lu Miaoge with hopeful eyes.
âHavenât you tasted that already?â
Lu Changsheng, eying his daughterâs foodie antics, said in a tone lacking enthusiasm.
âBut I havenât tried three flavors at the same time!â
Lu Wangshu declared with righteous zeal.
Upon hearing this, both women couldnât help but laugh gently.
They let their daughter taste their own candied hawthorns.
After tasting them, Lu Wangshu smacked her lips and revealed a satisfied expression.
Then she offered her own candied hawthorn to the two women, saying, âMommy, Mommy.â
âHmm, so sweet~â
Xiao Xiyue took a simple bite and responded with fondness in her eyes.
âMommy, let me take you to see the little turtle Daddy gave me!â
After finishing the candied hawthorns, Lu Wangshu pulled Xiao Xiyue to the backyard pond to see the Cold Blue Dark Turtle.
âHehe.â
Lu Changsheng watched this scene with a smile full of joy on his face.
Then, seeing Lu Miaoge beside him deep in thought with longing in her eyes, he knew she was missing Lu Qingzhu.
He immediately took hold of Lu Miaogeâs hand, speaking gently, âSister Miaoge, in a few years, once things have settled down, weâll visit Qing Shan and Qing Zhu at Jinyang Sect in Yue Country.â
Originally, he had planned that in a few years, once the familyâs situation was stable, they would head to Jinyang Sect in Yue Country to visit their children.
