The calmer Dad spoke, the more Feng Yuan knew—
The more his butt hurt.
He tilted up his pitiful little face, looking at Dad with pleading eyes, trying to awaken Dad’s affection for his cub.
But this path didn’t seem to work.
Feng Qi stepped forward, looking at the little cub acting so pitiful, yet he didn’t soften in the slightest.
“Yuan Yuan, about the homework. Once Dad finishes his work, I’ll sit down and have a proper talk with you.”
As Feng Qi spoke, he took Feng Yuan from Li Sheng’s hands.
The very next second.
He revealed his true phoenix form—brilliant, dazzling light almost illuminating the entire world.
Even when entangled with Gu Diao for so long, he hadn’t revealed his true form.
But now, pushed by his own son’s homework, he had no choice but to end things quickly.
Feng Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at Dad. Before he could even open his mouth to speak, he was ejected from the dream.
All the illusions came to an end.
The little cub before Feng Qi was gone as well.
The cub had temporarily disappeared, but Feng Qi’s anger had not.
He spread his wings, his clear and resonant voice piercing through the skies.
Gu Diao’s concealed figure was instantly and precisely locked onto by Feng Qi.
“Die!”
Although Feng Qi wore the face of a delicate beauty, his way of doing things was the complete opposite of his appearance.
He summoned true fire, intending once again to burn Gu Diao to ashes.
Naturally, Gu Diao would not sit still and await death.
The fierce battle almost made heaven and earth change color.
Just as Gu Diao was about to escape once more, a sharp claw suddenly pressed down on him.
Immediately after, a tremendous force slammed Gu Diao heavily to the ground.
Gu Diao turned his head and saw Wu Jin’s face.
“Black Dragon.”
He instantly recognized Wu Jin’s identity: “A little flood dragon who hasn’t even transformed into a true dragon yet, and you dare act so wildly in front of me!”
Gu Diao’s ferocity was infamous. In terms of strength, he was indeed stronger than a black dragon.
But that was all before his resurrection.
Once slain by Feng Qi, his power had yet to return to its former peak.
When Feng Qi saw Wu Jin, his gaze lingered on him for several seconds longer.
The two of them did not exchange many pleasantries.
This was not a good place for them to reminisce either.
“Wu Jin, let’s do this together.”
Feng Qi said lightly, “I’m in a hurry.”
Wu Jin: “Alright.”
Wu Jin was also a bit pressed for time.
He hadn’t told Yu Yi before he left.
If Yu Yi woke up in the middle of the night, he would find Wu Jin wasn’t by his side.
By then, it would be hard to explain.
And aside from that reason, Wu Jin himself was also desperately eager to see Yu Yi right away.
He had just dreamed, inside the dreamscape, that Yu Yi had been frightened to death by him.
Thinking about the scene in the dream, Wu Jin was still scared even now.
Only by going back to hold Yu Yi could he truly feel at ease again.
Everyone was in a rush.
Therefore, Gu Diao was doomed.
“Li Sheng, look clearly at my face! Do you really want to let me die?!”
Gu Diao still wanted to use his own face as a get-out-of-death card.
Unfortunately, Feng Qi no longer gave him the chance.
Within this small pocket of heaven and earth, golden light blazed brilliantly, dazzling to the extreme.
Feng Yuan, who had also just awakened from the dream, saw the golden light.
He knew Dad was there, too.
But carrying his little schoolbag on his back, he didn’t go.
“Grandpa Zhu, can you take Yuan Yuan home?”
After Feng Yuan woke up, Brother Zhu was still by his side, not having left.
The little one knew that Brother Zhu’s relationship with Gu Diao wasn’t simple. But even so, he didn’t keep away from Brother Zhu. Instead, he asked him to send him home.
Hearing his request, Brother Zhu did not respond.
“Yuan Yuan, aren’t you afraid that I might be a bad person?”
“I’m not afraid.”
Feng Yuan shook his head.
Up until now, he hadn’t felt any malice from Brother Zhu toward him.
Sometimes, a child’s intuition was very accurate.
Feng Yuan trusted his own intuition greatly.
He stretched out his little hand, his small face growing a bit tense, distracted by the commotion in the distance.
“Your dad is over there. You can go find him.”
“No, n-not going!”
Feng Yuan was so frightened that his words even stuttered.
He was preparing to leave right now, just to avoid Dad.
As long as Dad didn’t see him, then when Dad came to ask, he could insist that Dad was only dreaming.
And a dreaming Dad—well, Feng Yuan had never met one before.
But though Feng Yuan was in a hurry to leave, unfortunately, he didn’t find anyone to take him back.
Brother Zhu raised his hand and rubbed the little one’s head, then regretfully told him:
“Yuan Yuan, I’m sorry. I can’t send you home.”
“You’re leaving?”
Feng Yuan instinctively stretched out his small hand and grabbed his wrist: “Where are you going?”
“To between heaven and earth.”
Brother Zhu smiled: “Perhaps I’ll be like a gust of wind, a fall of rain, drifting and dispersing within the world, and then vanishing.”
What Brother Zhu said was very poetic.
Feng Yuan furrowed his little brows, thought over his words, and then translated them into something simpler and easier to understand.
“Grandpa Zhu, are you going to die?”
He asked it so directly that Brother Zhu’s expression paused for two seconds before he nodded.
“Mm.”
He confessed frankly: “I will die together with Gu Diao.”
Back then, when he asked Gu Diao to protect Li Heng, the price he promised Gu Diao was that he would stay with Gu Diao always.
They would share life and death.
Feng Yuan was still very young. He had not yet encountered a person’s death.
He had burned bad demons before. Those who committed countless evil deeds would be burned until not even ashes remained.
But the death of a person.
Feng Yuan had never seen it.
His whole little self became a bit at a loss. He gripped Brother Zhu’s small hand, unconsciously holding tighter.
“Don’t die.”
Feng Yuan’s little milky voice even trembled as he pulled on Brother Zhu’s hand, not wanting him to die.
“If Yuan Yuan seals Gu Diao, then Gu Diao won’t die, and you won’t die either!”
Feng Yuan’s little head was spinning fast, and he really did come up with a solution.
As long as Gu Diao was permanently sealed, Brother Zhu wouldn’t die together with him.
“Yuan Yuan can seal him!”
Feng Yuan had already been learning the Phoenix Seal for two and a half days.
But he hadn’t yet tested whether the Phoenix Seal he learned could actually seal Gu Diao.
Having decided to give it a try, the little cub let go of Brother Zhu’s hand.
He took quick little steps, running toward the place where the light was rising.
When he got close, he hid behind a big tree, his two chubby little hands forming the seal.
The Phoenix Seal was a bit complicated.
Feng Yuan focused all his attention, silently reciting the incantation for forming the seal.
He had never even recited his classical poems with such seriousness!
When Feng Yuan finally managed, with his chubby hands, to form a complete seal, at first, nothing happened.
But a few minutes later, a sudden crash of thunder split the sky.
At the same time, more and more bolts of lightning gathered onto Gu Diao’s body.
Those crackling, flashing lightning bolts formed like a massive cage, enclosing Gu Diao inside.
Feng Qi recognized it at a glance: “It’s a seal.”
The moment he saw this seal, without a second thought, he too raised his hands into the seal gesture.
He reinforced and stabilized the seal that Feng Yuan had created.
“Stay put for me! From this day forth, for thousands and tens of thousands of years, you will not take a single step out!”
Feng Qi shouted sternly: “If I so much as catch you trying to escape, I’ll scatter even your ashes to the wind.”
Because of Feng Yuan’s interference, Feng Qi’s execution of Gu Diao was changed into a permanent sealing instead.
Watching Gu Diao get sealed, Feng Yuan didn’t dare stay for even a second longer.
He waved his little hand toward Wu Jin, who was standing nearby.
Wu Jin saw him, too.
Wu Jin strode over. Upon reaching Feng Yuan, he wanted to bring him to Feng Qi.
But Feng Yuan refused to go.
Clinging to Wu Jin’s leg, he pleaded, “Wu Jin, Yuan Yuan wants to go home. Please take Yuan Yuan home!”
“Don’t let Dad see Yuan Yuan.”
“Please!”
That soft, milky little voice of his, Wu Jin couldn’t resist it at all.
Feng Yuan’s begging was enough to shake his reason for the moment.
“Alright, I’ll take you home.”
Under Feng Yuan’s pitiful gaze attack, Wu Jin transformed into a black dragon, placed him on his back, and flew away.
Meanwhile, Feng Qi, who still had the last bit of cleanup unfinished, “?”
He stared as the black dragon carried off a certain cub. His face instantly darkened.
Up in midair.
Feng Yuan didn’t dare look back. Hugging the black dragon’s neck, he forced his little face to stay calm as he asked, “Wu Jin, do you think Dad knows Yuan Yuan was here?”
Wu Jin: “?”
Did that even need asking? Of course, he knew.
Feng Qi wasn’t stupid. His precious son’s aura was right nearby. How could he possibly not sense it?
Seeing Wu Jin stay silent, Feng Yuan still clung to a sliver of hope.
“If Yuan Yuan goes back early, then Dad won’t know.”
“Wu Jin, take me to find Grandpa.”
When he left the house, he had told Grandma that he was going to see Grandpa.
So now, he couldn’t go back to Grandma.
Thinking of Dad saying he wanted to have a good talk with him, Feng Yuan became even more determined to find Grandpa instead.
Grandpa loved Yuan Yuan the most.
Last time when Dad spanked Yuan Yuan, Grandpa didn’t hit him. He had even wanted to protect Yuan Yuan!
Convinced that he wouldn’t get punished in Grandpa’s hands, the little cub was now lying on Wu Jin’s back, already thinking longingly of Grandpa.
And at that very moment, the Grandpa he was thinking of had a stern face as he ordered a carpet-style search of every road in the villa.
Frida, who should have long been asleep, was also not resting in her bedroom.
She stood beside Li Heng, her expression unable to hide her exhaustion.
“Sorry, it was my negligence.”
Frida apologized hoarsely: “I shouldn’t have let him go out alone.”
“It’s not your fault.”
After raising Feng Yuan for so long, Li Heng had finally gotten a clear grasp of the cub’s temperament.
He knew that his little one might look obedient and unbearably cute.
But in truth, the little fellow was far from well-behaved.
Every now and then, the cub always had to stir up some trouble.
Back when they were still in the country, he had often been spanked.
At the time, Li Heng had wanted to stop it when he watched from the side.
But thinking about it carefully now, almost every spanking that cub got was something he had truly earned with his own antics.
“Frida, don’t be afraid.”
Sensing Frida’s heartbreak, Li Heng reached out and held her trembling hand.
Frida didn’t push him away.
At this moment, she needed something to lean on.
“Li Heng, we’ve already been searching for more than two hours.”
Frida looked at the villa’s roads, waves of regret and self-blame surging over her like a tide.
Her reaction had actually been fairly quick.
After Feng Yuan’s last message came through, she hadn’t followed what the message said and had gone to sleep. Instead, she personally sent Li Heng a message.
“Yuan Yuan drank juice tonight. Remind him to go to the bathroom at night.”
Right after Frida sent that message, Li Heng’s call came through on the spot.
When she saw the caller ID, Frida hesitated for two seconds before picking up.
And the moment she answered, Li Heng’s words plunged her straight into an ice cellar.
“The message you just sent me, what do you mean by that? Wasn’t Yuan Yuan resting at your place tonight?”
The moment the couple compared accounts, both of them went dark in the face.
In the middle of the night, neither of them slept. They both got up to look for the cub.
Even Li Si and Li Wang were dragged into it.
After finding out that Feng Yuan was missing, Li Si’s little face turned stormy, wanting equally to beat up everyone.
“I told you, Feng Yuan should’ve just obediently stayed by my side.”
If she had been watching, nothing could possibly have gone wrong with Feng Yuan.
Having lost out to the adults in her bid to snatch the cub, Li Si was now searching for him while plotting grand plans in her heart.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Finally back home, Feng Yuan stood at the doorway, waving his chubby little hand at Wu Jin.
The little one, safe and sound, grinned widely with joy.
“Wu Jin, don’t forget what we talked about, okay?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.”
On the way back just now, the big one and the small one had confirmed once again the plan they’d already agreed on—finding reinforcements.
Wu Jin said he had discovered traces of Taotie.
They could call Taotie over.
Feng Yuan also thought that was a good idea.
After saying goodnight at the door, Wu Jin didn’t linger. He was still in a hurry to get home.
Feng Yuan walked into the house. At the same time, he turned on the locator on his smartwatch.
The house was empty. Not even the butler was there.
Feng Yuan felt a bit puzzled. With his chubby little finger, he poked at the watch and called Grandpa.
“Hello, Grandpa, where are you?”
The little cub, who had all the adults frantically searching for him, now sounded rather aggrieved in his soft, milky voice: “How come Yuan Yuan can’t find you at home?”
Moonlit: Yuan Yuan, you’re dead HAHAHAHAHHA Even Grandpa won’t spare you this time HAHAHAHAHA
