After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

"Grab them!"

The vampires were clearly bewitched, and they approached Ecris and Valerys with their weapons in hand.

It seems we won't give up until we catch them.

There was no other way but to fight.

Outnumbered and on the verge of defeat, a group of vampires suddenly rushed in from behind, their leader exuding an imposing and murderous aura.

"Strangle!"

Yag brandished his sword and gave the order, and the entire vampire army was mobilized.

In an instant, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

Ecris's face was also full of murderous intent as he followed his brother Valerys to capture the group of vampires who had tried to kill them.

Finally, Eccles learned the whole truth from them.

Back then, the vampire clan was hated by humans for drinking blood, and they were hunted down. In the end, they hid in the deepest part of the forest and set up a fog array to protect themselves.

But humanity did not give up. They joined forces with other races and invited a wise man, the most impartial judge at the time, the Holy Son of the Elf race, who declared that he would trap the vampires and prevent them from ever setting foot on human territory again.

In order to protect both humans and the vampire race, Saint Son Feng agreed to the request and set up a barrier outside the mist, preventing the vampire race from leaving the area.

As time passed and the world changed, those who orchestrated this series of events had all died, and the barrier surrounding the vampires was dissipating. At this point, some vampires with good intentions wanted to leave this place, but unfortunately they lacked the power. They thought of the stone statues in the forbidden area behind the mountain.

The stone statue is said to be the first king of vampires, containing the power of a king. However, for thousands of years, no one has been able to obtain it. They consulted ancient books and learned that the first king would only give his power to someone he recognized as his successor. So, they captured many vampires, bled them, and tried to find this successor, but they have never found him.

Over time, their irritability led them to set their sights on King Valerys, as well as Ellidor and Ecris.

Yag discovered this and secretly joined forces with Valerys. They first used a loophole in the barrier to send Ecris out. Just as they were about to send Eled and Max out, they unexpectedly learned that the other party was preparing to make their move.

Arg decided to go all the way and act first. Taking advantage of the chaos, he sent Valerys away while he imprisoned Ellido and Max for his protection.

But no matter how much they planned, they didn't expect Ecris to suddenly return.

"I see. But I don't think those vampires are anything special." Ecris pouted, recalling the battle just now, not satisfied at all.

Valerys was speechless: "That's because we caught them off guard. You should wait until they're prepared before coming back to check; we might not even be able to beat them then."

"Alright, this is none of your business. Get out of here and stop getting in the way."

His younger brother is sometimes smart but not so smart, which can be a real headache.

"Oh." Ecclesiastes scoffed and left. "Hmph, I'm going to find my son."

"Just wait, I'll bring my son back right now and dazzle you all."

Watching Ecris leave so erratically, Valerys sighed. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Yag's restrained gaze, and after glancing at Ecris flying away, he thought to himself: No way.

But then I thought, it's not impossible.

His younger brother is a fool who has good luck; he could be a good match for Yag.

"Yag".

Yag snapped back to reality. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

After some deliberation, Valerys decided to speak: "You... like Ecclesia?"

Yag was stunned and didn't react for a long time. Seeing his reaction, Valerys understood everything.

But there are some things that still need to be said.

Valery sighed, "As soon as he found me, he said he had a son, that he was very cute, and that he wanted to bring him back for me to see."

Yag clenched his fists and remained silent.

"However, the child's arrival was somewhat unusual, and I suspect he's lying."

Yag's hand loosened again.

"But he didn't seem to be faking it, so let's wait until he comes back before we talk about it. I don't know the specifics either."

Yag's heart was in turmoil, and finally he became numb.

Valix continued, "Ecris may seem a bit silly, but he actually knows everything. If you really like him, tell him so you don't regret it later."

"As his brother, I naturally want everything to be well for him, but marriage requires the mutual consent of both parties. I don't want to interfere or force things. I hope you understand."

"As for the child, let's wait until he comes back to see."

Yag: "Okay, I understand."

The boy thought that Eccles wouldn't lie about something like this.

So, does Ikeris really have someone she likes?

Isn't that a vampire?

Yag's eyes dimmed slightly.

Valerys was about to leave to deal with the vampires when he suddenly remembered something and turned around abruptly. "Ag, which direction did Ekris go just now?"

Yag was taken aback, and then he realized something.

The two rushed out and arrived at the outer edge of the mist array. They reached out to touch it, but found nothing.

Having lived here for hundreds of years, they naturally know what this place used to be.

"The barrier...it's gone?"

The two were shocked.

"Why did it suddenly disappear without any warning?"

"I don't know, but let's not let them know for now. We need to come up with a foolproof plan."

"it is good."

In Lu Garden, after the New Year, the snow outside had not yet melted. Xiao Ranran's daily fun was playing in the snow in the yard, and Muchen would play with him.

That day, Lu Lingzhou took Mu Chen to school to complete the enrollment procedures. Xiao Ranran wanted to go with them, but Yue Liming came and said that he had time and wanted to take Ranran to his place to play.

Lu Lingzhou thought that the two of them hadn't spent any time alone together since they met, so he agreed and made a promise with Xiao Ranran that he and Muchen would pick him up after finishing their business.

Only after watching the car leave did Lu Lingzhou leave with Mu Chen.

Upstairs, Murui used jade to carve a body for Mulang.

He offered Mu Lang a corpse to enter, but Mu Lang refused.

Fine, if you don't want to, then don't. I'll carve it for you.

They just know how to make things difficult for him.

"Brother, my nephew was taken away by that Dr. Yue, and President Lu has also left," Mu Lang reported.

Murui, engrossed in carving, hummed in agreement. "Go ahead, go ahead. I don't have time to take him with me."

However, it won't be long before he'll be able to take care of the baby on his own.

Hehe, just thinking about it makes me happy.

Murui couldn't help but smile as he thought about it, and in his excitement, he accidentally cut his hand with the knife.

"Ouch."

Just as Mu Lang's hand reached into the air, he saw Mu Rui quickly grab the paper, hold it down, and after a moment, continue carving.

These fluid movements gave him no chance to curry favor.

I could only lie on the side and watch him carve.

Yue Liming took Xiao Ranran to his small clinic, which had many animals: cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, lizards, snakes... and many other kinds.

Xiao Ranran is curious about everything except cats and dogs.

Since there was no business, Yue Liming took Xiao Ranran to look at each shop and introduced them to her.

Suddenly, a white and black tabby cat perched on the glass, its wet eyes fixed on Xiao Ranran, and gently meowed.

Little Ranran was immediately captivated by it and stood there, refusing to leave.

"Baba, kitty, hug."

Xiao Ranran pointed at the cat, wanting to hug it.

Yue Liming was somewhat reluctant, because he himself was a cat, and cats have a very strong sense of territory.

He didn't want Xiao Ranran to touch other cats.

"Baa baa, cuddling the cat, Ranran likes it."

Xiao Ranran tugged at Yue Liming's clothes, her bright eyes gazing at him with longing, oblivious to the change in Yue Liming's expression.

Yue Liming wanted to turn into a cat so the little guy could pet him, but it wasn't convenient in broad daylight, especially if someone came by...

He sighed, "Okay, Daddy will get it for you, sweetie."

It's just for a short while, it should be fine.

He's a mature cat; how can he stoop to the level of a kitten?

"Thank you so much, I love you so much."

Little Ranran jumped up and down happily, her eyes brightening.

When Yue Liming brought the kitten out, Xiao Ranran carefully held it, and the kitten obediently nestled in his arms.

"Kitty, be good."

"Meow~"

The kitten successfully captured Ranran's heart with its adorable appearance.

To be honest, Yue Liming was a little jealous of this scene.

He really wanted Xiao Ranran to pet him.

With him as the cat dad, how can I pet other cats?

"Doctor, is the doctor here?"

A man and a woman entered through the door; the woman was holding a dog in her arms.

"Yes." After settling Xiao Ranran in and telling him not to run around, Yue Liming walked over to the two of them.

"What can I do for you?"

Man: "My dog ​​isn't eating and seems listless."

"Okay, put it down so I can take a look."

While Yue Liming was outside watching the dogs, Xiao Ranran was inside petting the cats. She even turned on Yue Liming's tablet and watched TV while petting the cats.

"Meow."

The kitten meowed, circled around in Xiao Ranran's arms, then suddenly jumped off the sofa, looked left and right, and walked outside.

"Little kitty, don't run away." Xiao Ranran chased after her, and without paying attention, bumped into the woman who had just entered the room.

When the woman saw Xiao Ranran, she shoved her away.

"Where did this kid come from? How rude! This dress of mine costs several thousand dollars. You can't afford to pay for it if you damage it."

Xiao Ranran sat down on the ground with a thud, stunned and not quite recovered. It was the pain in his bottom that made him blink.

Noticing the woman's displeased expression, he slowly got up and said cautiously, "I'm sorry, Ranran didn't mean it."

"snort."

The woman was arrogant and completely ignored Xiao Ranran.

Xiao Ranran was a little scared and stood still, her slightly reddened eyes looking at Yue Liming behind the desk. She whispered, "Beep beep."

Yue Liming's heart was breaking at the sight. He abandoned the dog in front of him, went to catch the cat, and then picked up Xiao Ranran.

After sitting down in the chair, she put the cat back into his lap, saying, "It's okay, don't worry."

Xiao Ranran buried her head and snuggled into Yue Liming's arms to pet the cat, ignoring everyone else.

Yue Liming looked up at the two of them, then focused his gaze on the woman. "If I'm not mistaken, you took a step back, which is why my child bumped into you. If anyone is at fault, isn't it you who is more at fault?"

The woman rolled her eyes: "What, are you trying to reason with me?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Yue Liming was very unhappy with her attitude. Although he knew it was a small matter, he just couldn't bear to see his little Ranran being bullied.

"Take your dog away, I'm not looking!"

The woman got angry and said, "Fine, I won't look. You think you're so great?"

"Your clinic is located in such a remote corner; you're probably not a good person."

"Let's go to another clinic. There are so many pet hospitals, can't we find another doctor?"

The woman pulled the man away.

Hearing their words, Yue Liming sneered, thinking that only he could cure this condition.

If we waste time, it really won't be able to be cured.

He picked up his phone and sent a message in a group chat.

You're bullying his son, huh? Well, then you can worry about it.

It was originally a small matter, but he really couldn't stand this attitude.

"Beep beep." Little Ranran suddenly spoke up, sounding a little uneasy, "Did Ranran cause trouble for Baba?"

"Ranran can apologize."

Yue Liming stroked the little one's head, his gaze gentle: "No, Ranran didn't cause Daddy any trouble. It's their bad attitude that Daddy didn't like. It has nothing to do with Ranran."

"Come on, Dad will play with Ranran, pet the cat, and watch TV."

"Do you want something to eat? Dad knows there are some good things to eat outside. Let's buy some and eat while we look at the food, okay?"

"it is good."

"Good girl."

Yue Liming picked up Xiao Ranran, put the kitten down, and went out to stroll around the ancient street together.

Looking at everything in the ancient street, Xiao Ranran felt very curious.

"Hey, what's that?"

"That's a candied hawthorn."

Yue Liming bought a skewer for Xiao Ranran and let him eat it.

"Eat slowly. There are all sorts of snacks over there. Dad will take you to see them."

"Uh-huh."

Little Ranran ate the sweet and sour candied hawthorn, and then went to see all kinds of snacks and treats. She even bought a cat plush toy to hold in her arms.

Back at the clinic, after resting for a while and checking the time, Yue Liming decided to take Xiao Ranran back to Lu Garden.

His small clinic doesn't usually have much business, and of course, that's not his main source of income.

Now that he has Xiao Ranran, he needs to think about raising the child.

It seems like we could have a little more money.

Back at Lu Garden, Xiao Ranran put down her things and pulled Yue Liming outside to play in the snow.

Yue Liming happily accompanied him and even took the time to send a message to Lu Lingzhou to prevent him from making a wasted trip to the small clinic.

"Wow, what's this?"

Xiao Ranran: "Bunny, Baba bought it."

Knowing that he liked playing in the snow, Lu Lingzhou bought all sorts of molds and props for Xiao Ranran to play with.

"Wow, that's great, baby."

Praised, Xiao Ranran blushed shyly and whispered, "Baba, that's great too."

This shy little face was so adorable that Yue Liming couldn't help but hug him. However, he lost his balance and the two of them fell into the snow together.

Luckily the snow was thick, so I didn't fall.

"Hahaha...this is fun..."

Xiao Ranran grabbed a handful of snow and threw it all over Yue Liming, who in turn grabbed a handful and threw it back at him.

The father and son started playing like that.

When Lu Lingzhou brought Mu Chen back, he saw that the two of them were covered in snow, and Xiao Ranran was sweating from playing.
