Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe smiled and squatted down, tilting his head as he asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"
"I'm called Ying Ying."
" Ying Ying, what a lovely name," said Bai Zhe as he reached out to take the little girl's hand and kindly said, "Sister, let me tell you a secret. I am a fairy in charge of the flowers in the sky. Please don't tell anyone, okay?"
"Really? Can you make a beautiful flower for me, sister? I want to give it to my little brother when he is born from mother's belly."
"Okay, when the time comes, big sister will conjure up the most beautiful flowers in the world to give to you and your little brother."
Ying Ying happily hugged Bai Zhe and kissed him on the face after hearing Bai Zhe's words.
The pregnant fisherwoman hurriedly said, "Oh my, you child, you're all dirty. The fabric on the young lady's body is precious satin. What if it gets dirty?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Ying Ying is well-behaved and sensible. I really like it."
Bai Zhe stood up and affectionately patted Ying Ying's head.
She looked at Ying Ying's innocent appearance and couldn't help but think of her past self, but she was different from Ying Ying —Ying Ying had a home, and she did not.
Today's fishing was quite a success. In addition to what they caught, the enthusiastic fishermen also gave away a lot of fish. On the way back, Di Jiang chatted incessantly with Bai Zhe.
He also hasn't had such a carefree time with Bai Zhe for a long time. "It's a good thing that Lingxu Mountain is far away. Otherwise, when the spiritual beasts went wild, such a good place would have been ruined."
"Yes, if these common people can continue to live peacefully like this, it is also a blessing from the heavens."
"I see that you get along well with Ying Ying, she is also the smartest and most clever child in the small fishing village. Her father Zhuo has been diligently fishing for a living all his life, and her mother is excellent at embroidery, usually sewing handkerchiefs to supplement the family's income."
"Such a simple life, but it's actually very happy."
"That's right. This couple is famous for their love. Even when Ying Ying's mother is pregnant, she still goes to the seaside every day to bring food to her husband."
Di Jiang couldn't help but glance at Bai Zhe a few times when he said this.
Bai Zhe did not notice, only echoed: "Just now I saw Ying Ying's mother wiping sweat for Zhuo. Although there were not many words, I could feel the affection between them, truly enviable."
"Cough, cough, by the way Bai Zhe, don't take it to heart when they say you are my wife. They are just simple country folks who don't know any better."
"Of course, I won't take it seriously. They are just hoping for you to settle down soon because they care about you."
"Ah?"
Di Jiang was taken aback. He had intended to remind Bai Zhe to re-examine their relationship, but he ended up making a mess of things.
"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you say that fresh spirit fish is best for eating? There are plenty of fish today, I'll help you cook."
Bai Zhe turned and gave him a charming smile, her soft hair swaying with her movement, truly a sight to behold.
"It's enough, it's enough. Even if I can just watch you every day like this, I am content."
Di Jiang comforted himself in a mutter, then he ran towards Bai Zhe with the fish in hand.
Lingxu Mountain——
Fan Tu immersed himself in the chilly pool, his bare upper body covered with old scars of varying depths.
The stone wall was covered with frost from the chilling air, and the guardian spirit beasts stationed outside the stone gate were shivering from the cold.
At this moment, a graceful figure appeared outside the stone gate.
"Is the Demon Lord inside?"
"Reporting to Lord Si Zhi, the Demon Lord entered after returning from the immortal realm."
"You guys step back, I'll go in and take a look at him."
Si Zhi had just wanted to go in when the guarding spirit beast stopped her.
"Lord Si Zhi, please forgive me. The Demon Lord has ordered that no one should be disturbed."
"I am the High Priest of the Demon Realm. I have urgent matters to report to the Demon Lord. If the Demon Lord's important matters are delayed because of you, how many lives can you afford to bear?"
"Lord Si Zhi, please spare my life!"
The stationed spirit beast immediately knelt down and quickly made way for Si Zhi.
Si Zhi glanced at them and then swaggered in, flicking his sleeves.
"Who!?"
Fan Tu With closed eyes, the slender fingers moved slightly and pulled Si Zhi into the chilly pool.
"It's me, let go of me!"
Si Zhi Once touched the icy water of the "chilly pool," the spiritual power within could not be restrained, and the snake tail flapped twice before reverting to its original form.
Fan Tu Slowly raising his eyes, the originally crimson pupils regained their clarity.
"How come it's you? Didn't I order everyone not to come in?"
Si Zhi flew ashore and in a flash, arrived behind Fan Tu.
She reached out her ice-cold, soft hand and gently stroked the rugged and firm lines of his back, whispering softly, "I know you've been holding back a lot of anger, so I came specifically to help you relieve your worries. When you're angry, your whole body burns like a raging fire, but I am an ancient ice snake, cold-blooded and cold-bodied, best at cooling down the heat."
Si Zhi's charming eyes exuded a cool breath that gently brushed against Fan Tu's ears.
"How about I help you?"
