“Hehe… I’ll just have a daughter; daughters are well-behaved and cute!” It seems having a daughter is my protective charm. “Yao, you always love reading. Think of a name.”
“Mm, let me think…” Xiao Yao stood up, pacing the room, seemingly deep in thought.
“Soul, didn’t you receive an important message from the Blue Flame Order last time?” Xie Ying casually asked, causing everyone to focus.
“What are you talking about?” I noticed they seemed to be hiding something. Cold Arrogant Soul had been receiving messenger pigeons lately, but his responses were always vague.
“It’s nothing, just rest well.” Xie Ying shot Cold Arrogant Soul a look, and they all quietly left, leaving only the contemplating Xiao Yao and a frustrated Little Rascal.
Huo Lingyun leaned back in his chair and said, “But, compared to Yu Han… much better!” His words made everyone laugh.
“I’m just not used to it yet,” the little rascal argued.
“Han, to be honest, you’re born with a privileged life. You can’t handle cooking duties,” they teased. Although they were accustomed to being served, while on Ice and Snow Mountain, they had to do everything themselves. Cooking fell to Nangong Mo, while fire-tending rotated among them.
Cold Proud Soul laughed, “I’ve never seen anything like it. We were waiting to eat, but instead, black smoke billowed from the kitchen. Nangong ran out holding a black coal ball, and upon closer look, it was Yu Han…”
“That was truly dangerous. When Yu Han came out, his hair was still burning,” Xie Ying said, hiding his amusement. “Hopefully Xiao Yao fares better…”
“Weren’t you all the same the first time?” the little rascal defended. “Didn’t Brother Qiao come out with a black face? Didn’t Cold burn his sleeve? Didn’t Fire Brother have to cut a part of his hair because it was scorched? And as for Brother Xie Ying…”
“Haha…”
Huo Lingyun burst into wild laughter while the others managed to hold back their amusement.
Xie Ying looked awkward and remained silent.
