226: Thousand Thoughts of Returning, Thousand Thoughts of Returning (Part 2)

At the foot of Spirit Hall mountain, Qian Si Gui was rooted to the spot again, his gaze wandering.

Seeing this situation, Qian Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't dare to disturb him. She could only pout her lips, standing to the side, covering her stomach with both hands, complaining.

"Why are you spacing out again at mealtime? I'm so hungry, can't you space out after eating?"

Just then, a handsome figure, holding some sugar cakes he had just casually bought at a small shop, walked up to the little girl.

He slowly peeled back the oiled paper, revealing the emerald green cakes inside.

"You're called, Qian Yi?"

Qian Yi raised her head and looked at the person who spoke. He looked to be only twenty-two or twenty-three, his appearance was handsome, and his temperament was clear and bright.

What was most interesting was that she actually felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness, unable to feel any guard.

Even though Mother had reminded her not to be too familiar with strangers.

Qian Feng had changed his appearance slightly and hadn't fully recovered, plus three years had passed. These two little ones had probably only seen him in portraits, so it was normal that they didn't recognize him.

The older one and the younger one exchanged a glance, their hearts trembled suddenly.

The sense of closeness in their bloodline made the two of them feel very comfortable.

Qian Feng squatted down, held up the cakes with his left hand, and looked at the little girl.

Qian Yi stepped forward, sizing up Qian Feng. After a long while, she finally squeezed out a sentence: "Older brother, you're really handsome!"

"...Uh." Qian Feng smiled with pursed lips, reached out and pinched her chubby baby face. It was plump and very interesting, feeling soft and tender.

But being called 'Older brother' by his own daughter always felt a bit strange.

"Here, I just bought these, eat them, they're still warm," Qian Feng said with a smile, handing the cakes towards her.

Qian Yi took one with both hands. The cake, which was small in Qian Feng's hand, this little one needed two hands to hold, making her look incredibly cute.

Qian Feng couldn't help but rub her head. She had smooth, black ear-length short hair. When chewing the warm cakes, she always liked to smack her lips occasionally.

"Big brother, you eat too! How did you know I like the cakes from this shop?"

"I just bought them casually, seeing that their business was very good," Qian Feng said. He simply sat down on the ground, smiling with pursed lips as he looked at the girl.

"Oh, right," Qian Yi finished one cake in a few bites, then shyly pointed to the seven or eight pieces still in Qian Feng's hand and swallowed.

"Eat them, I bought them all for you."

"Thank you, big brother! You're so nice, how about this!" Qian Yi chuckled, took one in each hand, nibbled on the left one, then the right one, and said indistinctly.

"If you come to work at Spirit Hall in the future, just say you're Qian Yi's Xiao Di! I guarantee no one will dare bully you. Of course, buying me some cakes from time to time will be like thanking me."

Qian Yi was afraid the conditions she offered weren't tempting enough, so she emphasized a few more points.

"Big brother, the benefits at our Spirit Hall are the best on the entire Continent! Countless people are trying their hardest but can't get in!"

"So I can get in just by buying some cakes?" Qian Feng laughed dumbfoundedly.

Well now, his own daughter thinks he's her Xiao Di? Qian Feng's mouth twitched slightly at the thought.

"No choice, Mother doesn't let me eat too many sweets! Oh no!" Qian Yi seemed to know she had let something slip, quickly used a cake to cover her little mouth, then shook her head.

"Is that so? It seems your Mother is very strict with you two," Qian Feng asked further. The little girl nodded, standing beside him and saying.

"Sigh, my older brother and I also understand our Mothers. After all, Father is working hard in the Divine Realm to protect the Continent. Our Mothers are acting as both father and mother, naturally, they have to be both strict and gentle. Heh heh heh, my older brother and I aren't stupid, we're very smart. Naturally, we're obedient!"

"..." Qian Feng was silent for a moment, his eyes a little moist. He reached out and stroked Qian Yi's head, asking, "Do you miss your Father?"

"Yes, I do! I miss him as much as there are ten thousand stars!" As soon as Qian Yi talked about her Father, she slowly put down the cakes in her hands. After a moment, she pouted her lips and said, "Mother said Father is fighting among the stars."

"But I've never seen Father. I've only seen his portraits and statues. Look, that's him!"

Qian Feng looked in the direction Qian Yi pointed. The tall and majestic Spirit Hall main hall, a statue holding a long sword pointing towards the sky, appeared ancient and sacred.

The sculpting technique was outstanding, and it was clearly Qian Feng's likeness.

As for the original statue of the Angel God, it had long been replaced.

"Look, that's my Father. When my older brother and I miss Father, we come to Spirit Hall to look at the statue," Qian Yi pouted and chewed another bite of cake, saying, "Oh dear, as soon as I mention Father, I miss him again."

"Speaking of which, you do look a bit like my Father."

"Hmm~ Qian Yi, what about your older brother, what's his situation now?" Qian Feng pinched Qian Yi's cheek, then turned to look at Qian Si Gui, who was still rooted to the spot. Soul Power spread out from the little one's body, seemingly protecting him.

"My older brother, sometimes after a battle, he falls into... What's that state called, meditation!" Qian Yi continued to explain, "Anyway, it's a way to improve his combat skills. Mother said not to disturb older brother when he's meditating. Only after he's finished is it okay."

"So that's it," Qian Feng nodded slightly, his gaze remained on Qian Yi and Qian Si Gui. After half an hour, Qian Si Gui finally came back to his senses.

Just then, he heard a girl's hiccup.

"Little sister, did you forget Mother said you can't eat snacks before lunch?" Qian Si Gui shook his head. "We're doomed, we're going to get lectured again when we get home."

He turned his head, saw Qian Feng sitting on the ground, and his body trembled suddenly.

A feeling of soul resonance and Martial Soul resonance swept through his entire body.

"Big brother, you look like someone."

"Right? I think so too!" Qian Yi walked up to Qian Si Gui, chuckling. "But I feel like this big brother's appearance is a bit different. Also... I've already taken him as my Xiao Di, from now on, we'll both have cakes to eat!"

"Hmph!" Qian Si Gui pinched the latter's nose, making the little girl cry out in pain, "You forgot Mother's teachings, you're doomed!"

"It's alright, it's alright, she just ate a little bit of cake," Seeing this, Qian Feng quickly smoothed things over, shaking his head and asking, "Qian Si Gui, so next, are you going back to Spirit Hall for lunch?"

"No, we don't live in Spirit Hall. Nana Mother is in seclusion."

"Seclusion? What does that mean?" Qian Feng asked further, asking with some surprise.

Qian Si Gui sighed, shaking his head and saying, "When I was two years old, Nana Mother went into seclusion, trying to go to the Divine Realm. It's already been a year since I last saw Mother. My little sister and I live with Bing'er Mother."

"Mother doesn't like crowded places, so we actually live in the northern suburbs of the city," Qian Si Gui replied. He didn't know why, but he felt a strong affinity with the young man before him and would answer almost anything, unable to feel any wariness.

"So that's it," Qian Feng sighed slightly. He didn't expect Hu Liena would be in seclusion for so long, trying to go to the Divine Realm.

Sigh...

"Big brother, you treated me to cakes, how about coming with us to the suburbs? I'll get you some good things to eat at home! The cakes my Mother made herself actually taste pretty good too~" Qian Yi took a step forward, pulling Qian Feng's right hand, raising her head and asking with a smile.
