Jing Jia reluctantly smiled and had to put the medicine pill back into her sleeve.
"Then next time Mother comes, I’ll take you to eat delicious food, how about that?"
Bai Zhi’er quickly nodded her little head, "Okay!"
The little one remembered the serious business for which she had called Mother.
She hugged herself with her small hands, putting on a serious interrogative expression on her round face.
"Mother, be honest! That Bai Yanyan, is she someone you had with another daddy outside?"
A look of astonishment flashed across Jing Jia’s exquisite face. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel~fire~net
Then she burst into laughter, "You little rascal, what are you thinking about! How could Mother have children with another daddy?"
Jing Jia pinched Bai Zhi’er’s little face, "You are my only lovely baby, all others are just impostors for their interests."
Bai Zhi’er let out a breath of milk-scented relief.
Luckily, luckily, Mother is only her own Mother!
The little one nestled in Jing Jia’s arms, complaining in her tender voice.
"Bai Yanyan is a fake, she even said Mother has already kicked the bucket, so mean! When will Mother punish her?"
Jing Jia squinted her eyes and smiled, "Retribution won’t come immediately, but it’s on its way. Don’t worry, Zhi Bao, what is fake will always be fake, no matter what they say."
"Besides, with your daddy around, Mother trusts he won’t be so foolish and knows what to do."
Bai Zhi’er nodded, somewhat understanding and somewhat not.
The little one then asked, "Then Mother, where on earth is the Great Demon Venerate that you asked me to find?"
Jing Jia suddenly raised her delicate eyebrows, with a faint smile on her lips.
She did not directly answer this question.
Instead, she asked Bai Zhi’er, "Zhi Bao, if you meet the Demon Lord, what will you do?"
The little one thought seriously and replied in her soft voice, "Hmm... Mother said, the Demon Lord is very bad, he likes to kill people. If Zhi Bao sees him, I have to teach him a lesson, he cannot kill people, that’s wrong!"
Jing Jia nodded, "But what if he doesn’t listen to you?"
Bai Zhi’er tilted her head and thought for a moment, raising her small fist, "I’ll hit him!"
"The Demon Lord’s mana is as vast as heaven and earth, what if you can’t defeat him?"
This stumped the little one.
Ever since she was born, she had never met anyone she couldn’t defeat!
If the Great Demon Venerate is really that powerful and she can’t beat him...
Bai Zhi’er puffed her cheeks and said pitifully, "Then I’ll cry until the Demon Lord can’t bear it and gives up doing evil!"
Jing Jia was amused by her daughter’s childish words.
She gently took the little one into her arms.
Her dark, enchanting eyes held an insight into all things in the world.
"Don’t worry, baby, when you really encounter the Demon Lord, you’ll find that things aren’t as hard as you imagine."
"Mother also believes in Zhi Bao, that you will definitely know what to do."
Saying this, Jing Jia gently stroked Bai Zhi’er’s little head, smiling slightly, extremely gentle and full of maternal love.
The mother and daughter snuggled against each other, filled with warmth.
However, in the dark night, there came a few rustling sounds from somewhere, as if the squeaking of passing mice.
Jing Jia and Bai Zhi’er were both startled.
"Mother, there are mice!" The little one hurriedly hid in her mother’s arms.
Everywhere in the mortal world is good, except for those big, black mice that scare both mother and daughter alike.
In the Heavenly Palace, there are no such creatures.
Jing Jia shielded her daughter, listening carefully again, but there was no sound at all.
She quickly held Bai Zhi’er, "Good baby, let Mother take you back to Ruizhu Palace, it’s late, you should rest."
The little one reluctantly grasped her mother’s sleeve, looking at her with pitiful big eyes.
"Mother, can you lull Zhi Bao to sleep before leaving?"
