Chapter 151: Chapter 151: This Dream Today Was a Bit Weird

"Old man?"

Seeing Su Han standing there in a daze, the little girl pouted and couldn’t help but call out to him.

"I told you not to call me ’old man’." Looking at the porcelain-doll-like little girl bundled up in a white Celestial Fox Mink Coat, his tone softened a bit. "Call me ’big brother’."

"But... you obviously look older than my daddy."

Su Han touched his face, realizing it wasn’t his true appearance. He wiped a hand over his face, restoring his original looks.

"There, now you can call me ’big brother’."

"AH!"

Seeing Su Han suddenly change his appearance, the little girl gasped in surprise. Then, reacting instinctively, she covered her mouth with her chubby little hands. "Old man, how did you turn into a big brother?"

Grinning, Su Han reached out to pinch her chubby, pink cheek, but his hand unsurprisingly passed right through her.

"Ah, I forgot this is a dream," he grumbled, his lips curling into a pout. "Still, to think that I, the Crown Prince, can’t even control my own dream. Zero stars.

"That’s nothing. It’s just the simplest Disguise Magic."

"Woah! That sounds so amazing."

Despite Su Han’s disdainful tone, the concept flew entirely over the little girl’s head, but she still felt it was incredibly impressive.

"Of course..." Su Han replied smugly. However, he was interrupted halfway through.

"Then... old... big brother, are you here to play with Rong?"

Su Han looked at her. "Play what?"

"Skiing!"

"Skiing?"

"Yeah!"

The little girl nodded. She jogged forward a couple of steps on her short little legs, and then...

"Ah!"

With a gasp, she flopped belly-first into the snow with a THUMP. She scrambled up with a giggle, leaving a human-shaped imprint on the ground.

"See! Just like this. Skiing..."

Su Han was rendered speechless.

Looking at the countless small, human-shaped imprints scattered around and then at the girl’s clothes, which remained completely free of snow, he felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

He thought, "So, this is the legendary skiing? Our understanding of the word seems to be worlds apart! Moreover, with this method of skiing, it’s only thanks to your clothes having an automatic protective function. Otherwise, if another kid tried to copy you, they’d end up with at least a severe concussion! Even if they didn’t get paralyzed from the fall, they’d be covered in frostbite!"

"Old... big brother, come play with Rong!"

While Su Han was frantically complaining in his head, the little girl blinked her large eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked at him, acting frail and pitiful.

Su Han scoffed internally. "Don’t try to use a honey trap on me... Bah, you’re just a little tyke. What honey trap could you possibly pull off? And don’t try weaponizing your cuteness either! Who am I? I am the Crown Prince! How could I roll around in the snow with a wet-behind-the-ears brat? Don’t I have a reputation to uphold?"

"Big brother~"

Just as Su Han was refusing in his heart, the little girl called out again.

Su Han glanced at her and shook his somewhat dizzy head. He figured that since it was a dream anyway, no one would ever know.

"Alright... just this once!"

"Hehe, okay! Come play, big brother!"

The little girl gave Su Han a sweet smile. She stomped her little feet in the snow, ran a few steps, and then slipped.

"Ouch~ I fell again."

Climbing up from the ground, Rong pointed at the new little human-shaped imprint in the snow and smiled at Su Han. "Big brother, you try it too!"

Su Han pouted in distaste and nodded reluctantly. Mimicking the little girl, he took a few steps in the snow. He wondered how he could fall casually, unlike the little girl’s deliberate and fake tumble.

He thought, "Nowadays... a terrible dive could easily earn you a red card!"

As his mind wandered, the alcohol made his head swim. He had barely taken a few steps and hadn’t even decided on a pose for his fake fall when his feet suddenly slipped. With a THUMP, he crashed onto the ground.

"Woah! Big brother, your fall looked so real! Watching it, Rong felt like you actually slipped in the snow! How did you do it? Can you teach Rong?"

Su Han was completely speechless.

He thought, "If I said I really did slip, would you believe me? How embarrassing! What a dark mark on my history! Fortunately, this is a dream. If word of this got out, I, the Crown Prince, would never be able to hold my head high again!"

Lying face-down in the snow, Su Han wanted nothing more than to bury his face deep into it.

"Big brother?"

"COUGH, COUGH!"

Climbing up from the ground, Su Han let out a secret sigh of relief when he saw that, illogically, there was no trace of his fall.

He thought, "Thank goodness! Thank goodness it’s a dream; only a dream would have such absurd scenarios!"

Comforting himself, Su Han’s mouth twitched as he looked at the eager little girl.

He cried out internally, "Coach, that wasn’t a dive; that was a real fall!" And if she was asking him how to learn such a realistic fake fall... that was simply expecting the impossible from him!

"COUGH, COUGH!"

Coughing lightly to cover up his internal awkwardness, Su Han looked at the little girl. His eyes darted around as an idea struck him.

"This is boring. How about I teach you something else?"

The little girl blinked and asked in her milky voice, "Then what is big brother going to teach Rong?"

"Hmm..." Su Han pinched his chin in thought. "I have a move here. It’s a signature technique of the Extreme Dao Sect. One sword strike can leave a crater three thousand miles wide on the ground. Do you want to learn it?"

The little girl’s pink mouth fell wide open. She covered it and stared at Su Han. "Three... three thousand miles?"

Su Han nodded. "Yeah! Isn’t it awesome? Want to learn?"

The little girl tilted her head in thought. "No..."

Su Han fell silent.

He thought, "No... no?"

"Why not?"

"Three thousand miles? Rong doesn’t know how to fly. Wouldn’t I fall into the pit?"

Su Han was left speechless once more.

He thought, "What you said actually makes sense. Does that mean I also have to teach you Cloud Riding or Vertical Earth Golden Light? The problem is, I don’t know those tricks either!"

"Are you sure you don’t want to learn? This is the Secret Manual of the once-glorious Extreme Dao Sect, you know!" Su Han’s voice was as tempting as Wolf Granny tricking Little Red Riding Hood. Right after he spoke, he chuckled helplessly in hindsight.

He thought, "Heh, I really did drink too much. What’s the point of talking about the Extreme Dao Sect to a three-year-old? What could she possibly know about it?"

Because they were close, his quiet muttering didn’t escape Rong’s ears.

Hearing Su Han’s words, the little girl pouted. "Hmph! Big brother is looking down on me. Rong is not a three-year-old girl! Rong will be four years old after my birthday today!"

Su Han was taken aback.

He wondered if that was really the point.

"And... Rong knows about the Extreme Dao Sect!"

"Hmm?" Su Han paused, asking subconsciously, "You know about the Extreme Dao Sect?"

Rong looked at Su Han and nodded earnestly. "Mhm, Rong knows. A few days ago, Rong was eavesdropping on daddy and heard him talk about it. He said some Secret Manual of the Extreme Dao Sect had appeared, called... called ’Nine’-something. Rong can’t remember."

The little girl frowned and shook her head. "Well, Rong can’t remember the name, but Rong definitely knows about the Extreme Dao Sect. Daddy, that big liar, couldn’t come back for Rong’s birthday because of this!"

Su Han fell silent.

Shaking his head, he looked at the little girl, who was trying so hard to look serious, through his drunken, hazy eyes.

Suddenly, he felt that... this dream today was a bit strange!
