A wide variety of candied fruits and pastries, fresh seasonal fruits, braised meats and roasted meats were all available, along with several jugs of sweet fruit wine, all laid out on the ground in a dazzling array.
Xu Chengan sat cross-legged on a corner of the cushion, holding a glass of fruit wine in his hand, looking helplessly at the small figure not far away.
She was a little girl who looked only three or four years old, with long, snow-white hair that reached her waist, and a pair of fluffy, silvery-white dragon horns standing upright on her head, sparkling in the sunlight.
A pair of large, round, purplish-gold eyes were perched on the neck of a jet-black five-clawed dragon, its little hands gripping the dragon's horns tightly, howling excitedly.
"Giddy up! Giddy up! Fly faster! Faster!"
Zihuang Mietian Dragon King's head was numb from being pulled, and he grimaced.
The ancient ancestor of the dragon race, a powerful being who had lived for countless years, was completely rendered powerless by this little girl.
"My little darling, be gentle! If you keep pulling on the dragon horns, they'll really break!"
"No! You're too slow! Uncle clearly said you're the fastest dragon in the world, you're lying!"
Zihuang Mietian Dragon King's lips twitched wildly, and he glanced resentfully at Xu Yanli, who was watching the commotion not far away, feeling utterly bitter.
It's your own daughter, aren't you going to do anything about it?
Xu Yanli caught his gaze precisely, but instead of getting up to help, she leaned back and changed to a more comfortable position, clearly displaying a leisurely attitude of "I'm just watching the show, do whatever you want".
Zihuang Mietian Dragon King was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.
Xu Chengan silently withdrew his gaze, tilted his head back and drank the fruit wine in his glass in one gulp, then casually refilled his glass.
Today he wore an elegant moon-white robe, his blond hair simply tied back, and he looked almost exactly the same as when he was young.
He must be around 100 years old. His appearance is still handsome and clean, but the years have left their mark on his eyes, giving him a more composed and insightful look.
But it is precisely this clarity that makes him want to escape this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, some people simply wouldn't let him go.
"elder brother!"
The silver-haired little girl suddenly jumped off the back of the Purple Emperor Extinction Dragon King, her short legs running very fast. She buried her head in Xu Cheng'an's arms, rubbing her fluffy head against his chest, being incredibly clingy.
"Brother, play with me! Hurry up and play with me!"
Xu Cheng'an looked at the swaying silver-white dragon horns on her head, and then at her pair of imposing purple-gold vertical pupils, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
This is no ordinary child with some angelic blood; he is clearly a true dragon god descended to earth.
It is a brand new rebirth of the Dragon God.
"Nianyue, stop fooling around." He reached out and scooped the little girl off him, letting her sit steadily on his lap, and gently reminded her, "Your dragon might is too much for me to handle, it's making it hard for me to breathe."
Xu Nianyue tilted her head and pondered for two seconds, then nodded seriously. She then closed her eyes tightly, her little face puffed up into a round bun, and tried her best to control her breathing.
The domineering pressure of the dragon god around us did weaken a little, but only slightly.
Xu Chengan resigned himself to his fate, picked up his wine glass, and took another sip.
He is now a powerful god-king in the far north, a top expert in the entire god realm, yet he was overwhelmed by the dragon might of a three-year-old girl and felt uncomfortable all over.
Three years old.
She really is three years old.
"Cheng'an, don't look so gloomy."
Gu Yuena walked slowly from the other end of the picnic mat, her long, snow-white hair swaying gently in the wind, her amethyst-like eyes filled with a tender smile.
Xu Chengan looked up at his mother, and his lips twitched slightly.
He awakened his martial soul at the age of six, possessing innate level seventy soul power and extraordinary talent, but he was far inferior to this girl who was born a god.
It seems he's not much better than this little girl.
"Mother, can't you do something about her?" He looked down at the little one in his arms who was tugging at his sleeve and secretly drooling, his tone filled with a helpless plea.
Gu Yuena sat down next to the picnic mat, casually picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, speaking slowly and leisurely.
“If your father doesn’t care, I dare not care.”
Xu Chengan was speechless for a moment.
really.
He turned to look at Xu Yanli, who was not far away.
Xu Yanli leaned against the osmanthus tree, holding a glass of fruit wine in her hand, a faint smile on her lips, her gaze casually falling on the lake, seemingly lost in thought, appearing completely carefree.
Noticing his son's gaze, he turned his head and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"what happened?"
"Father, Nianyue, she..."
"It's fine." Xu Yanli said calmly, his tone as indifferent as if he were talking about the sunny weather. "Being lively gives you energy, which is better than being a quiet, withdrawn person like you were when you were a child."
Xu Chengan opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.
His introverted and quiet personality as a child was shaped by his father.
He really didn't dare say that.
The trauma of being thrown into the Destruction Thunder Domain by her own father when she was three years old is one she will never forget.
He looked down at his little sister in his arms, who was laughing merrily with an innocent and carefree expression, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how lucky this little girl was.
Chapter 228 (Final Chapter): A Harmonious and Happy Family
"Cheng'an!"
A clear shout came from the distant woods. Xu Cheng'an looked up and saw the Three-Eyed Golden Lion running excitedly out of the woods, carrying a large bunch of colorful wildflowers in its arms. Its golden hair was messy, and its little face was covered with mud, making it look exceptionally cute.
Behind her followed Xiao Xiao, Zhang Lexuan, Meng Hongchen, and a few others, chatting and laughing, each carrying freshly picked wild vegetables and mushrooms.
"Where have you all been?" Xu Chengan asked casually, looking at the group.
"Picking mushrooms!" the three-eyed golden lion said matter-of-factly, shaking the wild vegetables in its arms. "Little Green said we'd be making mushroom soup tonight!"
Little Green.
Xu Chengan's lips twitched again.
That was an ancient deity who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, yet the Three-Eyed Golden Lion addressed it as casually as a little girl next door.
But the goddess of life always responded, showing no airs of a divine king whatsoever.
"Bring the things here, I'll handle it."
The goddess of life walked over with a smile, dressed in an elegant and gentle emerald green dress, her long hair loosely tied up, her eyebrows and eyes as warm as a spring breeze.
She took the wild vegetables and mushrooms from the three-eyed golden lion's arms, casually squatted down, and gently touched them with her fingertips.
The ingredients that were covered in dirt instantly became clean and spotless, without even any excess moisture.
"Little Green! Little Green! I want to help too!"
Xu Nianyue immediately jumped down from Xu Cheng'an's arms and ran to the Goddess of Life. She looked up with her fair and tender face, her bright purple-gold eyes full of anticipation.
The goddess of life looked down at the soft and adorable little guy, her eyes instantly filling with tenderness.
"Okay, then Nianyue, can you help me break the mushrooms apart one by one?"
"it is good!"
The little guy obediently squatted on the ground, carefully peeling mushrooms with his two little hands. His movements were clumsy but extremely meticulous, and he even carefully picked off the last bit of soil left at the base of the mushrooms.
The three-eyed golden lion moved closer to Xu Cheng'an and whispered, "Your sister is too well-behaved. I wasn't this obedient when I was a child."
Xu Chengan glanced at her but didn't reply.
You were already formed and sensible tens of thousands of years ago, how dare you say you were a child?
Although he thought that way, he obediently kept quiet.
"Is everyone here?"
A deep voice came from the lakeside. The God of Destruction, Xiao Zi, walked out of the woods, carrying two large fish that were still lively and wagging their tails.
His dark purple robe was mostly soaked by the lake water, and his hair was still covered with tiny bits of water plants. His usual majestic and domineering god-king appearance was completely gone, and he looked extremely disheveled.
The supreme god-king who wields the law of destruction went to fish in the lake and ended up looking like this.
Xu Chengan turned his face away, deliberately suppressing the corners of his mouth, but in the end he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Xiao Zi caught a glimpse of his smile, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes, but she still maintained the dignity of a god-king and gave a cold snort.
"What are you laughing at? If you're so capable, go and try catching a couple from the lake!"
"Senior is too kind. I dare not accept such praise." Xu Cheng'an immediately suppressed his smile and straightened his expression.
Xiao Zi ignored him and walked to the Goddess of Life with the fish, handing it over casually.
The goddess of life glanced at him, then looked down at the two lively fish with intact scales and internal organs, her tone helpless.
"The fish scales haven't been removed, and the innards haven't been cleaned. How am I supposed to cook it?"
Xiao Zi froze on the spot.
He opened his mouth as if to argue, but in the end he said nothing. He silently carried the fish to the lake, squatted down, and obediently scraped off the scales and gutted it.
He remained expressionless throughout, but the tips of his reddened ears betrayed his embarrassment.
As Xu Cheng'an watched this scene, he suddenly remembered a casual remark his father had made before.
Even the most majestic and domineering God of Destruction is nothing more than a submissive ear-puller in front of his wife.
He was skeptical before.
Now, I've truly seen it for myself.
"Cheng'an, come and help with the fire."
The gentle voice of the Goddess of Life came, and Xu Cheng'an got up and walked over quickly.
Xu Nianyue squatted beside the soup pot, holding neatly broken mushrooms in her little hands, and asked in a childish voice with her little face upturned, "Xiao Lü, is the mushroom soup delicious?"
"It's especially delicious." The Goddess of Life crouched down to be at eye level with the little one, and smiled gently. "When the soup is ready, let Nianyue try it first, okay?"
"it is good!"
