[Volume Two: Jianghu, Chapter Fifty-Three: Jade Emperor Godfather’s Shota Son]
After much tossing and turning, we finally made a plan.”
Since the First Under Heaven Hall might collapse without anyone in charge, I, as the nominal owner, would be useless if I went back. So I sent Mo Ran back. That idiot Ziru had been nagging in my ear for days and couldn’t stand seeing me being intimate with Yu Mo, always coming to be a third wheel, so I beat her up quite a bit.
Now it’s the hottest time of summer, and I’m about to smoke from the heat. That stinky Yu Mo won’t let me take off my underwear, almost giving me heatstroke! I recall the air conditioner from my hometown. Although the air conditioning in the orphanage is often malfunctioning, it’s still much better than nothing!
While lying on the bed frantically fanning myself, I thought of the Heavenly Palace with its pleasant weather. Perhaps there would be air conditioning and ice cream! At the thought of this, I threw the fan aside and pressed the purple crystal on my jade hairpin.
As usual, my soul took the elevator to heaven and soon arrived at my Jade Emperor godfather’s Heavenly Palace! Wow, the Heavenly Palace is indeed cool and pleasant all year round! An excellent place to escape the heat! As I walked towards the Lingxiao Hall, I saw a cute little ghost coming towards me.
And that little ghost was holding the ice cream I had been dreaming of!
I rushed forward, staring intently at the ice cream in his hand. “Little friend, eating too much ice cream can cause cavities, and cavities are very painful. So let sister help you eat it!” Without hesitation, I snatched the ice cream from the little ghost’s hand and finished it in two or three bites. Hmm, very good, exactly my favorite vanilla flavor!
The little ghost’s big eyes welled up with tears, and two clear fountains sprayed out, forming two arcs in the air. The little ghost began to wail, leaving me flustered, unsure whether to comfort or scare him. Eventually, he dragged me into the Lingxiao Hall.
As soon as we entered, the little ghost cried in a childish voice: “Daddy!! This bad person bullied me!” I peeked from behind the little ghost and saw my Jade Emperor godfather, his face twitching, helplessly watching his son cry dramatically while occasionally glancing at me.
I was completely overcome by the little ghost’s tears. I wiped my face and looked at him impatiently, enunciating each word: “Lit-tle ghost, I am NOT a bad person!”
“The little ghost ignored me and let go, causing me to fall flat on the ground.
The little ghost ran to the Jade Emperor godfather, using his robe sleeve to wipe his tears, “Woo woo… Daddy, the bad person ate my ice cream! Woo woo… Mommy said I’m only allowed one ice cream a day, and the bad person ate it!”
The Jade Emperor godfather, sweating profusely, held the little ghost in his arms, patting his head, “Baby, don’t cry.” After comforting him, he came over to help me up, waved his hand, and my wet clothes instantly dried. He sighed, “Alas! Hanru, why are you so mischievous? The baby is only five years old. How can you snatch ice cream from him?”
I pouted, “I just wanted to eat it. Why didn’t the little ghost eat in his room instead of parading around with ice cream? I was just impulsive because I haven’t had ice cream for months…” The Jade Emperor godfather covered his face, looking like he was about to cry.
I walked reluctantly to the still wailing little ghost, “Baby, I was wrong just now. Can you forgive your sister?” The baby cutely pursed his little mouth and decisively said: “No! Unless…”
“Unless?” I tilted my head, curious.
“Unless the bad sister takes me to the Underworld to play!”
“The little ghost’s mouth curved up, and the tears in his eyes disappeared…

Before I could say a word, the Jade Emperor shouted: “No!!!”
But the baby seemed to pay no attention, staring at me with watery, pitiful eyes, tugging at my clothes: “Big sister, you’ll take me to the Underworld to play, right?”
“Uh…” I was at a loss. Oh my, knowing full well that I’m defenseless against little boys! I turned to the Jade Emperor, who was looking at me with a worried expression: “My precious goddaughter, you won’t take the baby to the Underworld, right?”
“…” Silence is golden, especially at crucial moments!
“Big sister…”
“My precious goddaughter…”
“Argh, both of you shut up!!!” I roared, tears streaming down my face. Why am I howling like this?
The two obediently shut their mouths. “Attention! Look right! Look ahead! March to the main gate!” They followed the commands but just as they were about to step out, they simultaneously turned back: “No, we can’t go!” Damn, these two are incredibly stubborn! Just when they were about to fall for it, they suddenly know to pull back!
“Hehe~ Big sister, there’s an ice cream shop in the Underworld! It’s very cheap and very delicious! If you take me there, I’ll treat you!”
” The angelic baby batted his big eyes. “Woo~ Ice cream!” I quickly nodded like a garlic-digging machine: “Okay, okay! Sister will take you right away!” Without another word, I grabbed the baby and ran towards the heaven’s elevator.
Later, I realized that the VIP pass card given to me by the Jade Emperor wasn’t just for show. Without it, I couldn’t take the elevator to heaven or enter the Heavenly Palace at will. No wonder the heavenly soldiers at the Southern Heavenly Gate became respectful whenever they saw the VIP pass card.
The baby’s small hand tightly gripped my clothes, and his adorable eyes blinked with an innocent smile. His mood was as good as a blooming flower, but my mood was even more radiant! I kept looking left and right: “Where’s the ice cream? Where’s the ice cream?”
The baby glanced at me and said helplessly: “Sister Xiao Han, don’t worry about the ice cream right now. After I take you to see Beibei, I’ll take you to eat ice cream!” “Oh.” I focused on taking him to the Hall of King Yama, opened the door, but didn’t see King Yama busy in the hall.
I tilted my head, “Huh? Where’s King Yama?” The baby said matter-of-factly: “Because today is the weekend! So King Yama and his wife are on vacation in Hawaii!”
“Wow, even the Underworld has weekends, and King Yama is actually accompanying his wife to Hawaii on vacation! Unbelievable!
Suddenly, Bao Bao’s eyes lit up with 5,000 watts of light, and another pair of passionate eyes were shooting towards us, “Oh! Bei Bei! My baby!” Bao Bao let go of my hand and dashed like lightning towards the cute little girl on the other side, sweetly calling out, “Oh! Bao Bao! My darling!”
A little boy tightly hugged the little girl and gentlemanly kissed her forehead. “Bang!” That was the sound of me breaking down. How can kids be so mature nowadays! So small, only reaching my waist, and yet they already understand romance!
The little girl, Bei Bei, blinked her puzzled big eyes, “Bao Bao gege, who is that big sister?” Bao Bao couldn’t take his eyes off Bei Bei’s face, “Bei Bei meimei, that’s Xiao Han jie! She brought me here to see you!” Bei Bei continued to ask, “Didn’t your dad stop you from coming?”
Bao Bao laughed, “My dad is scared of Xiao Han jie! Just like my dad is scared of my mom, and your dad is scared of your mom!” Bei Bei looked at me with admiration, “Wow, so Xiao Han jie is really amazing!”
“Yes! But Bei Bei, I haven’t seen you for so long! It feels like one day has passed like three autumns!” Bao Bao showcased his talent for sweet talk. Bei Bei bit her finger and tilted her head, asking, “What does ‘one day like three autumns’ mean, Bao Bao gege?”
“Um, I’m not quite sure about that either.”
