In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
The Su Family.
"Miss, you can't run around like that, that place is..."
A little girl who looked only four years old was moving like the wind, causing the little maidservant serving her to pant as she chased after her, and when she saw where the young lady was rushing, her face changed slightly.
They were maids newly brought in from the outside this month, responsible for the Su family's little princess's daily life, and from the moment they stepped into the Su family, they were taught that the elegant courtyard ahead was a forbidden area, and even the Su family's ancestor could not force their way in.
The Su family's ancestor was a lofty Immortal King overlooking all living beings. Their cultivation was not high, and they didn't know what an Immortal King was, but they knew how mysterious and powerful Immortals were. A place even Immortals had to be wary of, how terrifying would that be?
They didn't know, and didn't want to know. If the young lady trespassed into the forbidden area today, their lives would probably be over.
Just then, a figure in azure walked out of the courtyard and picked up Su Xiao, who was running like the wind.
"Grandmaster!" The four-year-old Su Xiao was like a cute porcelain doll, with a chubby face and a round bun hairstyle, wearing a red dress. She really looked like a lucky maiden, making people love her.
"Hey!"
Gu Changsheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face when he heard the crisp voice. He hugged Su Xiao and asked, "You haven't come to see Grandmaster for two months. Do you not like Grandmaster anymore?"
"That's not true. Master asked me to cultivate my Foundation Establishment, so I didn't have time to play with Grandmaster," Su Xiao said with her small mouth, complaining.
The two maids behind her breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. So, this forbidden area was the residence of the young lady's grandmaster. But the young lady's grandmaster was so young and so handsome!
These two maids were only twelve or thirteen years old, the age when a young girl's heart was beginning to bloom. Seeing Gu Changsheng's perfect face, their hearts couldn't help but beat wildly.
At this moment, a figure in red appeared, and Ye Hongyi walked over with light steps.
"Su Xiao, you just entered the Awakening Realm, and you're running around before you've stabilized. You're going to tear down the house."
Hearing her master's crisp and ethereal voice, Su Xiao felt like she was hearing the whispers of a great demon king, burying her head in Gu Changsheng's arms, as if this would prevent her from being seen by the Red-Clothed Demon King.
It could be seen that Ye Hongyi was very strict with this disciple, otherwise Su Xiao wouldn't be like this.
"Grandmaster, save me! The great demon king is here to eat me," Su Xiao whispered in Gu Changsheng's ear.
Ye Hongyi's face suddenly darkened. This brat actually dared to call her, her master, a great demon king!
"Alright, Hongyi, cultivation should be a combination of work and rest. Su Xiao is only four years old and already in the Awakening Realm. That's good enough." Gu Changsheng patted the little girl's back, as if to say, 'Don't worry, Grandmaster is here!'
Su Xiao was young, but she was clever. She turned her head and made a face at Ye Hongyi, extremely cute.
Ye Hongyi couldn't help but say helplessly, "Master, you spoil her too much."
"I spoil you a lot too!" Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
Ye Hongyi revealed a wry smile upon hearing this. She finally knew what it meant to be a doting grandparent. If it were her junior brother, he would definitely be kicked away by Master, who would then say fiercely: 'You rebellious disciple, how dare you make my good grand-disciple so tired?'
"Grandmaster, do you have milk here? I'm hungry."
At this moment, Su Xiao patted her stomach, her face a little embarrassed.
She was already four years old, and she still liked to drink milk. Her father, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother didn't laugh at her, but she just liked to drink milk.
"You're so old, and you still drink milk," Ye Hongyi said.
"Hmph, I want to drink it. I like the beast milk that's been boiled and cooked the most. One day, when I become strong, I'll catch a mother dragon and make her give me milk to drink every day."
Su Xiao raised her head proudly, her small mouth slightly upturned, imagining the majestic scene of riding on a mother dragon and drinking beast milk in the future. Just thinking about it made her mouth water.
Slurp!
Su Xiao sucked her saliva and then asked, "Grandmaster, tell me, do you have milk here?"
Gu Changsheng also felt helpless about this. If she had a different gender and a supreme bone, he would have suspected that he was seeing an old friend.
"Grandmaster doesn't have milk here, but I can take you to find some," Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
Originally, the little girl's eyes were full of disappointment when she heard that there was none, but when she heard the latter sentence, her bright eyes became even brighter.
"Really?" Su Xiao asked.
"Of course!"
Gu Changsheng said.
"Then hurry up, I'm hungry," Su Xiao urged impatiently.
"Okay!" Gu Changsheng's figure flashed, and he left the Su family with the little girl.
Ye Hongyi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw this, and then shook her head helplessly.
"This girl, what will happen when she hears those words she said earlier when she grows up?"
Ye Hongyi held a recording stone in her hand. Since accepting Su Xiao as a disciple, her emotions and desires had slowly recovered, especially in the past few years being by Master's side. She could shamelessly act spoiled with Master, allowing her to find the feeling of those years.
"Little girl, you dare to call me a great demon king, hmph!" Ye Hongyi put away the recording stone, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking forward to Su Xiao becoming a strong person soon, and then showing it to her to see what kind of expression she would show at that time.
Catching a mother dragon and making her give you milk to drink every day, hehe!
In the past few years, the Su family's sense of mystery towards the Holy Emperor had gradually decreased. Now, seeing him actually taking Su Xiao out to find milk to drink, they immediately looked at each other.
"Mother, are all strong people like this?" Su Shanshan asked.
"Perhaps... maybe!" The Su family's ancestor said uncertainly. In her opinion, strong people should all be aloof, just like how Qing Yan Immortal Venerable treated them Immortal Kings, always unsmiling and with a cold expression.
But His Majesty the Holy Emperor...
She dared not comment.
...
In an area filled with rampaging demon beasts, a pregnant great demon was knocked unconscious, and a small figure was happily squeezing beast milk, bucket after bucket, enjoying it.
And beside Gu Changsheng, Bai Zhiyin stood.
"Speaking of which, you've been with Tianfeng Wuqi for so long, why hasn't your stomach shown any signs of activity?" Gu Changsheng suddenly looked at Bai Zhiyin.
"Uh..."
Bai Zhiyin was immediately frightened and took a few steps back. She looked at Su Xiao, who was happily squeezing beast milk, and almost forgot that she was also a beast, the auspicious divine beast White Jade Kirin.
Is His Majesty trying to target me?
"That... Your Majesty, Hongyi is calling me, I'll go back first."
After Bai Zhiyin finished speaking, her figure flashed, and she hurriedly fled.
She regretted it. Why was she curious and followed them out?
If Su Xiao really wanted to drink her milk in the future, could she refuse?
"What's wrong with this Bai Zhiyin? I just asked. If Tianfeng Wuqi can't do it, I can take action to treat him."
Gu Changsheng felt puzzled by Bai Zhiyin's attitude. As Hongyi's protector and the Holy Emperor Palace's Dharma Protector Divine Beast, if there was any problem, he would naturally take action to solve it.
"No wonder they say women are sometimes inexplicable. The ancients did not deceive me."
