Mu Xuan stilled, reaching out instinctively to caress Yao Si’s head. Behind her, the crowd erupted into shrieks, startling her.

“Ahahahahahha… It’s his highness!”

“He’s real, the real, live, breathing kind!”

“Oh my goodness! It’s really his highness, my lord, it’s blinding… blinding!”

“Both His Majesty and Her Highness is here, tell me if I’m dreaming!”

“I’m going to take a photo, where’s my optical computer? Can someone borrow me an optical computer?”

“Ahahahahah… Ahahah… Ahah!”

Yao Si was speechless.

Aren’t we all bloodlings, is there really a need for such a fuss?

Besides… weren’t you guys my fans just a minute ago? Such fickle fans!

Mu Xuan was indeed her father. His portal was of an entirely different level, and with just a tiny wave, a passageway to the Red Planet appeared. Probably for convenience’s sake, it led to the Elder Council.

Without a word, Mu Xuan threw the bunch of bloodlings to the Elders so they’d settled everything and brought Yao Si home.

After all the trouble, they were already more than an hour late for dinner. Yao Si had never been so late for dinner. She assumed that with Mu Xuan’s personality, he would definitely force her onto a chair and push the duck blood curd down her throat.

However, Mu Xuan acted out of character. After instructing her to have her meal, he completely disregarded her and sat down in the corner of the sofa with his optical computer. Even if she deliberately tried to attract his attention, he never once offered her a glance.

His face remained distant and taut, his entire being emitting a menacing tension.

Yao Si endured his cold aura.

He was furious, and not just slightly! As an orphan with only the pathetic twenty years of experience, Yao Si had never once had to coax her parents. Without having any idea how that was supposed to be done, she wondered how she should proceed. Person seeking help here!

Yao Si kept all the pranks she could come up with to herself and finished the entire bowl of duck blood curd obediently. She even asked for an additional serving before daring to push the empty bowl back.

” Cough… Dad! I finished my meal.” Look, everything is gone!

The man on the sofa completely disregarded her, keeping his focus on his optical computer as though she hadn’t spoken.

I have my grievances too! He hadn’t even bothered to correct the way she had called him… He must really be infuriated…

“I was wrong.”

She let go of the bowl and came to stand formally at his side with her hands hanging low, a repentant look on her face.

Mu Xuan fingers suddenly stopped; he was finally reacting. In a frosty tone, he asked, “What did you do wrong?”

“Eh….”

Yao Si froze. Right, why am I in the wrong? She had clearly done a good deed, one where even the Elders Council should owe her bonus! So why was Daddy Mu so angry?

Mu Xuan took in a deep breath at her silence. He turned to glance at her, then spat out word by word, “Sisi, you’re still just a cub!”

“Ah? I know that!”

“You’re aware?” He frowned, the tension about him increasing. “If you knew, how could you have gone to such a dangerous place by yourself? I told you, your ability isn’t stable yet, besides it has a passive nature. If there weren’t any bloodlings in the base, do you really think you would have been able to come back safely?”

“Er…” He was speaking the truth. She couldn’t argue with it. “I was worried about Nephew Gu at that time, and the communication was cut off in both the ship and the research base, that’s why… I did consider getting you! I swear!” she said, raising her hands to prove her sincerity.
