Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 169 Yu Xi

It was a sunny day, but everyone tacitly chose to stay at Wangshu Inn, as if waiting for something special to happen. Of course, this was actually an ordinary day, and nothing special was waiting to happen. But the only difference was that even Xiao, who usually moved around erratically, was staying here quietly.

At noon that day, the warm sunshine poured onto the terrace on the third floor. Xiao walked here with light steps. He did not choose to sit down, but leaned leisurely on the corner of the eaves, gently holding a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand, staring at the distant skyline. The plate of almond tofu with a faint sweet aroma was carefully placed beside him within his reach. As long as he raised his hand, he could taste this delicious food.

Not far away, beside the railing, a group of people were gathered around a table, immersed in this peaceful and beautiful time. The children were playing and laughing, while the adults were chatting happily. Although they had experienced twists and turns, what could stop the resolute people of Liyue from moving forward?

The breeze blew gently, ruffling Xiao's hair and clothes. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes slowly falling on the plate of almond tofu in front of him, a subtle tenderness in the depths of his eyes. At this moment, an innocent, lively, cute and innocent little boy came running like a gust of wind, staring at Xiao with curiosity, his eyes flashing with endless curiosity about this mysterious person.

"Big brother, why are you here alone?" Xiao Lan looked up and looked at the green-haired boy sitting on the eaves with her bright big eyes, and asked with curiosity and joy on her face.

Xiao was slightly startled, and after a moment of silence, he replied softly: "There is nothing important today, so I am just here to enjoy the scenery."

"Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful!" The little boy exclaimed sincerely, "It's a pity... Big brother, isn't it too boring for you to sit up there alone? Why don't you come down and play with us?"

Xiao hesitated for a moment, but when he noticed the familiar, almost invisible wind shield around the child, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable warmth in his heart. So, he finally nodded lightly and jumped down from the eaves. When he landed, he even steadily held up the plate of almond tofu that was originally on his legs, and placed it on the table beside him.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan became more excited. She happily grabbed Xiao's hand and couldn't wait to lead him into the crowd and to her brothers and sisters.

Ye Qi embraced Qiqi and Xiaojin and leaned against the table. She had a special affection for Qiqi, which seemed to be more than just ordinary affection or friendship, but a deeper and purer emotion.

Not only that, even her younger brother Ye Jin, who has been studying medicine with his mother since childhood, also loves Qi Qi. Of course, the "love" mentioned here is not driven by academic research or curiosity, but comes from the most sincere kindness and care in the heart.

After all, in just a few days, when their parents and other family members were deeply anxious and depressed, two other very sincere children stepped forward and enthusiastically extended a helping hand to them. This friendship may seem ordinary, but the sincere emotions contained in it are extremely precious... And it is precisely this warm and firm support like spring breeze that enabled them to successfully survive this painful and challenging time. Therefore, it is not surprising that the siblings would feel such deep gratitude and love for those two innocent and lovable children.

"Sister Aqi, look, who is this?" At this time, Xiao Lan came running over happily with a big laugh. Behind her, the tall and slightly thin figure was following him, step by step, without stopping.

"Great Sage, you are here?" Ye Qi stood up, holding Qiqi's hand, the joy in her eyes could not be concealed.

"Yeah." Xiao responded calmly, nodded to the adults who looked over with a smile, and sat down next to the children. This time he was closer, and observed carefully, and found that not only the children, but everyone present seemed to be covered by a layer of green wind wall that was looming, almost imperceptible but not to be ignored. This mysterious wind wall was like an indestructible barrier, seemingly able to withstand all disasters and misery... At this time, the distance between him and the worldly fireworks was so close that even he felt incredible.

He slowly turned around, his movements were gentle and steady, as if he was afraid to break the tranquil atmosphere of the moment. His deep and sharp eyes stared quietly at another figure present - the woman holding a sword and leaning quietly beside Hu Xingzhi. She closed her eyes slightly, seeming to reveal a little tiredness. On weekdays, at such times, she is always the most active and proactive, and always becomes the organizer of similar activities. But at this moment... Xiao silently stared at the girl leaning against her human brother, and an inexplicable worry surged in his heart. This person, always disregards her own safety...

At this moment, a breeze blew quietly, bringing a few pink petals. Xiao reached out his hand and carefully caught one of them. The thin petal fell into his palm like an invaluable treasure. His eyes gradually became gentle, as if he was touched by this small petal.

Xiao walked lightly to the girl, then slowly squatted down and gently placed the petals in his hand on her palm. The girl seemed to feel Xiao approaching, slowly opened her eyes, her gaze fell on the petals in her palm, and a faint smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

"Let them go by themselves, you should have a good rest and stop working so hard. Just stay at Wangshu Inn... I will always be with you." Xiao said softly, with a hint of care and love in his tone.

Lin Huan nodded slightly to show his agreement, then closed his eyes again, enjoying this rare peace.

At this moment, Hu Xingzhi slowly tilted his head to one side, and his eyes met with Xiao's. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped. His eyes, originally full of agility and cunning, seemed to be baptized by an invisible force, and all the impetuousness and frivolity faded away, replaced by an unprecedented calmness and solemnity.

This change is truly amazing, as if a naughty child has grown into a sensible and steady adult in the blink of an eye, revealing an extraordinary mature temperament. Xiao also noticed the subtle change in Hu Xingzhi's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. The child standing in front of him at this moment, or rather, he is already an adult who has established a family and a career... He is someone's husband and father. He used to be full of curiosity and desire for the whole world, like a wild horse that was unruly and fearless. He dared to escape from his father's control alone, and resolutely came to Wangshu Inn, planning a feat of traveling around the world... Those times, in Xiao's sight, are still vaguely like yesterday.

"Okay." Hu Xingzhi nodded, then turned his head to look at the person who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder. His eyes were full of emotion and helplessness, and he sighed softly.

"During the time when we cannot reach each other, I beg you to take care of her more... I know and understand her deepest desires and expectations, and I know that she is so sincere and heartfelt to the important people around her... However, it's not just her... I love her deeply as well. Not only me, but also her beloved father, and many people who were unable to be present, even... including... this group of innocent children in front of me..."

His eyes gradually became moist with a faint light, and he continued speaking with a slightly trembling voice.

"Shangxian Xiao... You are the Great Saint who conquers demons, the Great General of the Golden Roc, and the Yaksha who protects the law! Today, I solemnly beg you to please agree to my small request."
