Chapter 709 Is Mom Missing Dad?
"My dear daughter, stop right there! There's still soup left to drink, stop right there!"

"Mom's going to get angry!"

In the back garden.

A voluptuous yet elegant figure in black lingered among the flowers. Bending over, holding a bowl, she chased after a butterfly waving a rattle-drum.
"Slightly, slightly, slightly~"

The butterflies in front of me kept moving.

He turned his head directly, stuck out his tongue at the beautiful woman who was chasing after him, and muttered in a crisp voice.

"I won't listen, I'll keep chanting."

"Mom won't tell Ling'er stories about Dad. Ling'er wants to go play with her aunts and continue listening to stories about Dad."

"what--!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Ye Ling'er stumbled and was about to fall flat on her face. Turning her head to look at the floor that was so close, her face was full of panic.

"Ye'er!"

Liu Erlong's soul power surged, and she was about to throw away the hot soup in her hand. But before she could make a move, some branches and vines grew out of the flowers and turned into a soft cushion, catching the delicate little girl perfectly.

puff--!
"Ouch."

Ye Ling'er landed on the hollow cushion woven from vines, wincing in pain. Her face was slightly pale, still shaken.

"Ye'er."

The elegance Liu Erlong had learned from Yuexuan seemed to be ingrained in her very being. Even in such a critical situation, even with her swift movements, she still appeared quite graceful. She quickly reached Ye Ling'er's side, carefully examining her small frame and asking with concern:

"My dear daughter, are you alright?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

Ye Ling'er had recovered. From a young age, she had been more resilient than other children. This wasn't because of the life essence Ah Yin had given her—that essence could only help her heal. Ye Ling'er's resilience manifested in her resistance to injury.
"It's okay."

Liu Erlong breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but gently scold, "How many times have I told you, you're not allowed to call your father 'that man' in a place like this. You're still a princess of the royal family. If someone hears you, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"I'm not afraid at all!" Ye Ling'er raised her little face and said nonchalantly, "Sister Xue said that the entire Crown Prince's mansion belongs to her, so Ling'er doesn't need to act here. Besides, Aunt Ling Yuan is a Title Douluo, the most powerful one in the world, and even Grandpa Xue Ye doesn't dare to offend her. Aunt A Yin is also very powerful."

"Ye'er!"

Liu Erlong frowned, completely helpless with her daughter.

From a young age, under the deliberate guidance of Ah Yin and Ling Yuan, she had always been clamoring to see her father. This even made her feel that her biological daughter seemed closer to Ah Yin and the others!
Seeing that Liu Erlong was about to get angry, Ye Ling'er quickly raised her little hand and gently stroked Liu Erlong's eyebrows, saying calmly, "Mommy, don't be angry. Aunt Yin said that getting angry will make you grow old. If you get old, Daddy won't like you anymore when he comes back."

"Nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong let out a low growl, her face showing a hint of resentment mixed with a faint blush. That bastard was only lustful towards her, and perhaps just using her as a tool for his own venting.

If it weren't for having a daughter, she probably would have been banished to the cold palace long ago. "Hehe. Is Mom thinking about Dad too? Why is your face so red?" Ye Ling'er suddenly giggled and poked Liu Erlong's cheek.

"Ye'er, don't talk nonsense. Mom doesn't miss him at all. I was just a little anxious." Liu Erlong's face flushed, but she quickly denied her daughter's statement. However, how could she not have thought about Ye Qiu in the past two years?

Even every time she uses her martial spirit, she recalls the scene in that secret room when she was consumed by lust after absorbing the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and the passionate embrace between them.

After that night,

She was almost running out of food, not even enough to satisfy Ye'er.

"Ling'er isn't making this up. When the other aunties mention Dad, their faces turn red and they even giggle like idiots." Ye Ling'er spoke with conviction, for she had indeed witnessed these things herself.

“Little Ling’er, that’s not a silly grin.”

Just as Liu Erlong was about to speak, Ah Yin, who had just saved Ye Ling'er, slowly walked over and gently rubbed Ye Ling'er's head.

She was still dressed in a blue and gold gown, her figure full and well-proportioned, her skin radiant and glowing. A gentle and elegant smile graced her face, her entire being exuding an air of nobility, and the warmth that any living being could feel was even more pronounced. Her deep blue eyes were slightly lowered, filled with a hint of longing, as she smiled and said, "When you see your father again, when he has been gone for a long time, you will understand."

"But Aunt, when will I be able to see my father?" Ye Ling'er looked up at A Yin with some confusion.

Although Liu Erlong was looking down as he straightened Ye Ling'er's clothes, his ears couldn't help but perk up.

"This aunt doesn't know either. It might happen today, or it might happen tomorrow, but it certainly won't be long." Ah Yin smiled, not feeling lonely at all during these two years of waiting. Every day was fulfilling, and she missed Ye Qiu completing the divine trial. She and Ye Qiu were in different places, doing the same things.
"Huh? Auntie, you've said that so many times!" Ye Ling'er's face fell; she was sick of this type of pancake.

"Hmph! Maybe he just used some excuses to get rid of you all," Liu Erlong sneered, holding Ye Ling'er as he slowly stood up. "Too many lies, and they're just lies."

Swish-!
A figure clad in black leather armor quickly appeared in the courtyard.

"Little Ling'er, you'll see your father today!"

"Ah—! Really? Is it true, Aunt Lingyuan?" Ye Ling'er's face showed a look of surprise, her big black eyes full of liveliness and anticipation.

"Of course it's true! Auntie just saw your father heading towards the Crown Prince's residence!" Ling Yuan's face was filled with excitement, and she didn't seem to be faking it at all. Her expectations for Ye Qiu were just as high! A single woman in her late thirties who's been completely taken advantage of and then abstains from sex for so long—that's terrifying!

"It really is back! I can sense the life force of the wicked embryo!" Ah Yin, who had closed her eyes, quickly opened them, her eyes filled with a light of surprise.

"Yay! Ling'er can finally see her dad!"

Ye Ling'er raised her hands, extremely excited.

Liu Erlong remained silent, gritting her teeth, still unsure how to face that bastard Ye Qiu!
-

In the study of the Crown Prince's residence.

Xue Qinghe was busy dealing with the matters assigned by Emperor Xue Ye when a figure slowly emerged in the study.

　Wishing you all a happy life!
