Suyi was quiet for a while. âI donât know. But, I can learn how to do that.â
âAlright. Then, I can have some snacks when we go out.â
âSnacks?â
Feng Ruqingâs face darkened.
âThis girl treats the spirit herbs as main food and the villains as snacks.â
âQingâer, donât worry. Iâll look after Little Qing Han for you.â Suyi smiled. âThen, Iâll bring her back to you without a scratch on her.â
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
âIâm not worried about Qing Han but Iâm worried about the others!â
âMother.â Qing Han threw herself into Feng Ruqingâs embrace. She felt that she was wronged. âI have never been outside with Brother Fu Chen. Let me go out and take a look.â
Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes. She gazed upon the tears in Qing Hanâs eyes. Her heart softened. âThen, you should listen to Grandma Suyi. Donât go anywhere else and donât eat anything before thinking.â
âYes, Mother.â
Qing Han stopped crying and started to smile when Feng Ruqing finally gave her consent. Feng Ruqing could not stop herself from pinching Qing Hanâs cute face. âQuickly, be on your way now.â
Qing Han kissed Feng Ruqingâs cheek. Then, she let go of her hands and ran toward Suyi in small strides. She held Suyiâs hand and walked out of the princessâs manor with a bright smile.
âMother.â
Fu Chen appeared out of nowhere after Suyi had left. He bit his lip and seemed stubborn.
âWhy didnât you come out just now? Do you want to go out with them?â Feng Ruqing asked as she bent down and stroked Fu Chenâs small face.
Fu Chen shook his head. âI donât want to go, Mother. Can you not leave us behind like the Ninth Emperor, ever?â
Feng Ruqingâs fingers trembled.
She looked at Fu Chenâs small and pale face. She was sad. âIâm not sure... maybe not.â
Fu Chen tugged at her sleeves and his grip tightened. He lowered his eyes slowly.
âIs it because I was too stingy before and you want to leave us behind?â
âFu Chen...â
Humans were not like trees and flowers. Humans had feelings.
She had spent quite a long time with those two spirit herbs and they had quite a strong bond between them.
âIf...
âIf I am faced with danger again in the future, I would never burden them.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFu Chen, I promise you that I will become stronger. Iâll never leave you when I become stronger.â
There was a pathetic smile on Fu Chenâs face. âBut, the Ninth Emperor was so strong and still, he left us behind.â
There was only Small Black who was their family member in the lonely Divine Herbs Sect other than the Ninth Emperor.
The Ninth Emperor had been with them for so long.
âBut, he left!â
That day, he promised that he would return and look after them after he had rescued his lover.
Who would have thought that he would never return!
âMother, Qing Han and I are not as timid as you think. We are afraid of nothing. Weâre just scared that we will be left behind again...â Fu Chen raised his head.
His small face was covered in tears and Feng Ruqing did not know when that had happened.
His small face was pale and filled with grief.
âIâm not afraid of anything.
âIâm just afraid that I will be left behind again!â
âMother...â Fu Chen held onto her sleeves tightly. âQing Han and I are neither humans nor spirit beasts. But, we have spiritual wisdom now. We will be panicked too. We feel pain too. Qing Han is there always. Iâm afraid that she will cry so I do not look for you. In the future, please donât leave us behind. Weâll face the danger with you no matter how dangerous it is.â
