Upon witnessing the young master’s departure from the Demon King’s vicinity, Xiao Bai promptly trailed after him.

“You’re impressive!”

Gu Qingluan brushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen onto her face.

“Are you tired?” she asked.

“I’m not tired at all! I can keep on fighting!” Gu Xiaonan waved his little fist.

Seeing Gu Xiaonan run over to boast to his mother, Feng Yuanxi swiftly descended from the Demon King’s back.

“What about me, Mother?”

“You’re impressive too, Little Yuanxi!”

Gu Qingluan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Initially, the three of them had used their arcane powers during the battle, causing quite a commotion. However, they had tacitly stopped using their powers, resorting to physical combat. As a result, by the end of the fight, both children were sweaty, their cheeks rosy and vibrant, exuding an aura of energy and vitality.

“Mother, wipe my face too!”

Gu Xiaonan leaned in with his little head.

Amused, Gu Qingluan wiped his face with a smile.

A tall figure approached. “Wipe mine too.”

Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi noticed him and immediately stood up straight, looking at him warily.

Gu Qingluan also raised her head to gaze at him.

Feng Tianlan met her gaze without blushing or looking away.

Suddenly, Gu Qingluan remembered the forceful kiss he had planted on her earlier. Annoyed, she tossed the dirty handkerchief she held onto his face. “Don’t you have hands of your own?”

Ignoring Feng Tianlan’s expression, she held her left and right hands out to the two children. “Xiao Nan, Yuanxi, let’s go wash up and change into clean clothes to avoid catching a cold.”

“Okay, okay.”

Gu Xiaonan followed her upstairs, looking back as he walked and using his right hand to pull down the skin beneath his eye, making a funny face at Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan removed the handkerchief from his face, and upon seeing Xiaonan make a funny expression, his lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile.

Noticing his amusement, Xiaonan snorted at him and then turned his head away.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Feng Tianlan glanced at the innkeeper hiding behind the counter. “Prepare some hot water for them.”

The innkeeper nodded repeatedly and hurried into the kitchen.

Feng Tianlan then leisurely made his way upstairs.

Before long, the inn staff delivered hot water to the room.

Standing outside, Feng Tianlan listened to the cheerful laughter emanating from within, his mood involuntarily brightening.

Both little ones, now freshly bathed and fragrant, were like two sticky rice balls.

As soon as they opened the door, they spotted Feng Tianlan standing outside.

The smiles on Gu Qingluan and the children’s faces instantly vanished.

Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow and asked Gu Qingluan, “Have you made up your mind now?”

“You can forget about it. It’s impossible for us to be together,” Gu Qingluan replied, pretending to be uninterested. “Your skills are just too lousy!”

The pleasure on Feng Tianlan’s face faded, replaced by a dangerous expression in his eyes. “My skills are lousy? You must be mistaken. Let’s try again…”

Growing irritated, Gu Qingluan interrupted sharply, “Feng Tianlan, that’s sufficient! Xiaonan and Yuanxi are observing! If you persist in your thoughtless behavior, don’t expect me to maintain courtesy!”

“Great Demon King, do you want to fight again? You’re not allowed to bully my mother!” Gu Xiaonan pouted, his small face displaying anger.

Feng Yuanxi also glared at him, showing solidarity.

So not only did Gu Xiaonan dislike him, but his own son also didn’t support him?

Feng Tianlan squinted slightly. “Feng Yuanxi, it’s time for you to go home.”

Feng Yuanxi immediately leaned against Gu Qingluan upon hearing this.

Gu Qingluan’s heart tightened. “Are you taking him away? Yuanxi isn’t a child anymore. We should respect his own wishes.”

Feng Yuanxi was about to speak when suddenly, he heard Feng Tianlan’s voice in his mind: “If you want to openly call her ‘Mother’, make the people of the Holy Heaven Dynasty recognize her, and keep her by your side forever, come with me now..”
