Qin Lie was watching the battle when he heard Zhouzhou's words. Before he could react, a gust of wind swept in, causing sand to fly and making him instinctively close his eyes.
In the next mont, a roar sounded, and then silence returned to the surroundings.
Qin Lie opened his eyes in confusion and saw a flash of golden light. The evil god in front of him let out a cry of despair, and its huge figure suddenly turned into ashes, leaving only so black mist behind.
Zhouzhou threw a Purification Talisman, instantly dissipating the remaining malevolent energy in the surroundings. The air in the forest beca fresh again. She quickly walked up to Qin Lie and asked worriedly, "Dad, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Qin Lie looked at her and felt a wave of emotions in his heart. This little girl was even more formidable than he had imagined.
Unaware of his astonishnt, Zhouzhou breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that he was indeed unhard. "That's good."
She extended her hand, and the jade pendant on the ground was pulled towards her and landed in her palm. She held it tightly and said, "I temporarily sealed the luck that was absorbed by the evil god in the jade pendant. It's still contaminated with so malevolent energy. I'll refine it and give it back to you later, Dad."
"Mm," Qin Lie nodded slightly, still feeling puzzled. Could it really be retrieved?
Zhouzhou, however, remained calm, as if what she said was just an ordinary matter. She put away the peach wood sword and suddenly seed exhausted, instantly transforming back into an ordinary little girl.
She hugged Qin Lie's leg and shook it. "Dad, I'm so hungry. I didn't finish my al earlier. I'm really tired."
Thinking about how she had worked so hard because of him, Qin Lie nodded. "Let's go back then."
Seeing that he agreed so easily, Zhouzhou's eyes glead. "I'm too tired from the fight earlier, I have no strength left. Dad, carry ."
With anticipation in her eyes, she looked at him, full of expectation.
Qin Lie glanced at the little girl, who showed no signs of fatigue, and ignored her, walking briskly towards the exit.
The smile on Zhouzhou's face disappeared instantly, and she lowered her head in disappointnt, dragging her feet weakly as she walked.
After a few steps, her body suddenly lifted off the ground, and a deep, slightly cold voice ca, "Hold on tight."
Zhouzhou's eyes instantly lit up. "Dad!"
Qin Lie didn't say anything, but he supported her bent legs and said expressionlessly, "If you fall, it's not my responsibility."
"Mm, mm!" Zhouzhou vigorously nodded, her mouth almost reaching her ears. She tightly wrapped her arms around his neck, her small legs firmly wrapped around him, and underneath her was his solid back. She couldn't help but giggle happily. "Dad, you're so nice!"
As she spoke, she leaned her head and planted a big kiss on his face.
Feeling the warmth and the soft touch of her lips, Qin Lie couldn't help but show a trace of disgust. "Behave."
Zhouzhou giggled a couple of tis, holding onto his neck. Her short legs couldn't help but swing happily, and she was surrounded by bubbles of happiness. She couldn't stop talking.
"Thank you for carrying , Dad. When you get old, I'll carry you too!"
"Dad, even though you don't want to admit it, I know that you still really like !"
"It's okay, Dad. It's fine if you don't want to say it. I know. Second Senior Brother often says that love hidden in the heart is the deepest. Dad loves deeply, and I know it!"
"..."
Qin Lie's mouth twitched, his face darkened, and he clenched his teeth, squeezing out two words from between them, "Shut up."
He never knew she could talk so much before.
"Oh." Zhouzhou blinked, pursed her lips, and then affectionately nuzzled against his neck, and in a little while, she rubbed her face against his.
The little girl's face was soft and warm, with chubby cheeks and a delightful touch. However, Qin Lie awkwardly turned his head away, slapped her buttocks, and coldly scolded, "Get down."
Zhouzhou vigorously shook her head. "No, I won't get down."
If he didn't let her speak, she would kiss him with her mouth. After all, her mouth should never be idle!
With that, she exerted more strength with her hands and feet, hugging him tightly, refusing to co down no matter what.
Qin Lie suddenly coughed and almost choked by her. Seeing this, Zhouzhou quickly loosened her grip, and then pressed on a pressure point on his body, worriedly asking, "Dad, are you okay?"
Qin Lie gritted his teeth. He regretted it.
He shouldn't have been soft-hearted towards her.
This little girl clearly took advantage of any opportunity given to her.
Regretting his past actions, he stuffed Zhouzhou into the back seat of the car with a black face, finally feeling relieved.
But as soon as he sat down, Zhouzhou approached again, saying, "Dad, give a hug."
"How can I hug you while driving?"
Oh, right.
Zhouzhou couldn't help but feel disappointed. She hadn't been hugged enough by her dad yet.
So she ca up with an idea and said, "Dad, let's walk back. I have an earth-traveling talisman that can shrink the distance to size of an inch. We can reach the hotel in half an hour."
Actually, it would only take five minutes, but she wanted to spend a little more ti with her dad.
"What about the car?" Qin Lie asked expressionlessly.
"The car can be moved back too!"
She was amazing!
Qin Lie sneered, "If a big car suddenly appears, do you want to be captured and studied?"
"What does 'studied' an?" Zhouzhou blinked, looking confused.
Qin Lie threatened the child expressionlessly, "It ans being tied up so you can't move, then being cut into pieces to study how you can do these unscientific things. That's how little girls like you are made."
Zhouzhou: "!"
Her face changed, and her once proud little chest imdiately deflated. Fear flickered in her eyes.
It was so scary.
She rembered now. Senior Brother had also warned her. She absolutely couldn't show her ability to capture spirits in front of ordinary people, or else she would be captured and studied.
It was so terrifying, sob.
She gripped the seat belt tightly, and her plump little lips trembled.
Seeing that she was frightened, Qin Lie started the car and thought to himself that at least he had so peace and quiet now.
They drove in silence until they arrived at the hotel. Zhouzhou couldn't wait to call Madam Qin with her phone.
Qin Lie didn't pay attention to them and went into the bathroom.
As soon as he ca out, he heard a furious shout, "Qin Lie, co here!"
"What's wrong?" He walked over, looked at the angry person on the other side, and asked calmly.
"What's wrong? Look at what you did! How dare you scare Zhouzhou!" Madam Qin's loud voice ca through the phone, full of anger.
Qin Lie moved the phone away, rubbed his ears that were ringing from the noise, turned his head to look at Zhouzhou, who had just finished bathing and was wrapped in a small towel on the bed. He silently gritted his teeth. He never expected that the little girl would go tattle on him!
Seeing his gaze, Zhouzhou looked pitifully at him and said, "Dad, I was just asking Grandma what scientists look like. I want to stay away from them in the future."
She may be a little girl, but she didn't want to beco a little girl for scientific research.
Being cut into pieces would be very painful.
"What? Do you want to continue scaring Zhouzhou?" Madam Qin was even more angry, standing with her hands on her hips, scolding him with full indignation. She showed no signs of aging.
Even Old Master Qin instinctively distanced himself from her, fearing that her anger would spread to him.
"After you finish your business, co back to ! n don't know how to take care of children. Let tell you, Qin Lie, if you dare to scare my precious granddaughter again, I won't let you off!" She called out his full na, showing that she was truly angry.
Qin Lie had a headache and handed the phone to Zhouzhou.
In an instant, the person on the screen transford from a stern son to a soft and tender granddaughter. The fire that was about to burst from Madam Qin's mouth was imdiately extinguished, and her face blossod into a smile. Her voice beca gentle, as if dripping with water. "Zhouzhou, do you miss Grandma?"
Watching her switch faces so quickly, Qin Lie silently thought to himself, "Double standards."
Madam Qin ignored him and continued talking to Zhouzhou.
"Zhouzhou, when will you co back? When you co back, Grandma will introduce you to a few older brothers. And your four uncles will also co back. They all want to see you."
Upon hearing this, before Zhouzhou could speak, Qin Lie's brows furrowed, and he coldly asked, "Qin Yan will also co back?"
