Chapter 2092: Regarded as Father, Regarded as Brother

The Emperor reforged her illusory flesh, granting her the boon of reconstruction. Little Taotie regards him as a father.

The Heavenly Emperor, having protected and accompanied her, held the grace of soul gathering. Little Taotie sees him as an elder brother.

Little Taotie suddenly cast a sidelong glance at Hua Jinyan.

Hua Jinyan felt unnerved by her gaze, puzzled: “Did I… do something wrong?”

Little Taotie wiped the raindrops off her face. The rain had stopped by now, and there was no point in staying on the rooftop.

She took off Hua Jinyan’s jacket, using it as a towel to dry her hair, and tossed the wet jacket back to Hua Jinyan.

“I was just thinking, what exactly have you done?”

Hua Jinyan was at a loss.

Little Taotie let out a sneer: “The Emperor father reshaped my body. The Heavenly Emperor brother, seeing my failure to gather souls, reversed time and space at great cost, granting me this eleventh reincarnation. I was pondering, War God, what exactly have you done?”

Upon hearing her call him “War God,” Hua Jinyan felt a chill, a premonition of unease.

“Oh, now I remember. You, attracting a swarm of admirers, brought me the colossal trouble named Mysterious Lady, causing my previous ten reincarnations to fail.”

Detecting the irony in her tone, Hua Jinyan smiled wryly: “Those two sure know how to make their presence felt.”

Little Taotie shrugged: “At least they’re more useful than you.”

Little Taotie returned to her lodging and before closing the door, shot Hua Jinyan an unceremonious glare.

Hua Jinyan touched the unsent ring in his pocket and headed to the opposite door, opening it and going inside.

After her eighteenth birthday, she moved out of the villa and bought this apartment on her own. Hua Jinyan’s clingy nature hadn’t changed a bit, going as far as paying triple to buy the apartment opposite hers.

Lying on the sofa, Little Taotie turned on the television.

Several channels were airing the events of the awards ceremony.

Hua Jinyan’s proposal was interrupted, and many were speculating about the final outcome, making a stir online.

Tonight, she couldn’t live stream to help her fans fall asleep.

She opened Douyin and posted a video message, only showing her hand.

“My brother has passed away. There will be no live streams for the next seven days; don’t wait up.”

After turning off the phone, she took out a bottle of fruit wine.

She didn’t really like drinking, only sipping a little during occasional celebrations or family birthdays.

“The Heavenly Emperor’s three souls have reunited; a rift has appeared in the realm… Are they coming again?”

“Huahua and I are under national protection, and the Mysterious Lady hasn’t found a chance. Only in this life have I had the chance to gather my three souls and seven spirits.”

“During the awards ceremony, Huahua proposed, albeit unsuccessfully, but the Mysterious Lady must have seen it, right?”

“Woof woof!” came a bark.

Little Taotie turned her head.

A fox dog came running, followed by a kitten.

The kitten was “Little Lion’s” offspring. “Little Lion” was getting on in years, now seldom leaving the cat nest, always lazily lounging inside.

“Bai Shuang, speak human tongue.”

Little Taotie rubbed her forehead, perplexed as to why Bai Shuang, who could speak human language, often chose to mimic a dog’s bark.

“I think a dog’s bark sounds better.”

Little Taotie shook her head: “Is your IQ also lower?”

The fox dog twirled in place: “Perhaps so. This brain sometimes feels like mush, forgetting things easily.”

“Bai Shuang, the Mysterious Lady is likely to make her move soon.”

The fox dog jumped high in fright, “She’s finally going to act? I’ve been waiting for ten years but I never understood why she hasn’t acted. Even with state protection, she should have many ways to lure you out.”
