Chapter 149: Horns Have Appeared
Little Red ran with Qin Wanwan, leading her back home under her command.
Qin Wanwan was carried down from the horse by a servant of the residence and scampered off to find Daddy.
“Daddy, Daddy, what’s wrong?”
The little girl shouted as she ran, her childish voice full of urgency.
Arriving at the room where Shang Wuyang was resting, she found an old man with a white beard drawing blood from his fingertips.
Her Daddy lay on the bed, looking weak and pale. Although several basins of charcoal fire were lit in the room, it was very cold around Shang Wuyang.
He was covered with a thick quilt and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Qin Wanwan ran over and touched his forehead with her little chubby hand, her eyes immediately turning red.
It was so cold, Daddy’s eyebrows and hair were covered in frost.
“Daddy, Wanwan will warm you up, and you won’t be cold anymore.”
The little Qilin sobbed, her voice choked with tears.
*Sob sob sob…* Daddy looks so pitiful, she felt so heartbroken.
“Cough, cough… I’m fine.”
Shang Wuyang coughed, his skin pale and his whole body looking as weak as a fragile beauty.
“Who brought you back?”
He had clearly instructed them not to tell Wanwan yet.
Although Shang Wuyang usually treated Qin Wanwan like a little warm stove to hold, he only did so after confirming with her and Keke that his cold energy would not affect her.
But it was different now. The weather was already cold, and he couldn’t suppress the poison in his body, making him as cold as ice.
He had intended to have the doctor control the poison before sending for Wanwan.
“Daddy, don’t worry about it.”
Qin Wanwan took off her shoes and snuggled into his arms.
The doctor who was detoxifying Shang Wuyang exclaimed in alarm: “No, the cold poison will freeze those around you!”
But the little Qilin didn’t listen and had already slipped into the quilt.
Shang Wuyang said weakly: “Be good, go to another room to sleep first, and wait until the doctor suppresses my poison.”
“Someone, take Wanwan away.”
Qin Wanwan refused, stubbornly hugging his arm.
When someone tried to pull her away, the little girl started crying.
“I’m not leaving, Daddy, I’m not leaving.”
She cried pitifully and felt wronged, and kept trying to burrow further into the bed as she cried.
The servants stood by the bed, looking at each other, at a loss for how to get her out.
Shang Wuyang rubbed his forehead, lacking the strength.
“Leave.”
After everyone left, Qin Wanwan secretly poked out her little head.
Tears still clung to her eyelashes.
She pouted: “Daddy’s mean, sending Wanwan away.”
Shang Wuyang laughed in exasperation: “It’s for your own good, and you’re still ungrateful.”
Qin Wanwan snuggled into his embrace.
“Don’t be afraid, Wanwan isn’t cold.”
Her small body pressed tightly against Shang Wuyang. She was doing something under the quilt, and her little face turned red.
The doctor treating Shang Wuyang was surnamed Xu. After guiding the poison from his body through his fingertips, he began to apply acupuncture to suppress the poison within him.
He had originally thought that with this relapse of cold poison and the additional poisoning that damaged his body, it would be very difficult to completely suppress the cold poison.
However, Doctor Xu was surprised to find that things seemed to be slightly different from what he had expected.
“That’s strange, City Lord, why does your cold poison seem to be easing?”
Shang Wuyang lowered his gaze to the human-shaped warm stove in the quilt.
It seemed much warmer this time than usual.
“As long as it can be suppressed, it’s fine.”
Without saying more, Doctor Xu understood and didn’t ask further questions.
After the cold poison was barely suppressed, Shang Wuyang felt his body stabilize and asked Doctor Xu to check Qin Wanwan’s pulse.
“Examine her.”
Qin Wanwan obediently extended a small hand.
Doctor Xu felt her pulse: “This, Miss’s body is very healthy.”
His expression was a little strange; it was precisely because she was so healthy that he was shocked.
The City Lord’s cold poison had flared up, and his body was no different from ice. He had seen his lips turn purplish from the cold and a layer of frost on his eyebrows and eyelashes.
Even he, upon close contact with the City Lord, felt like he was in the midst of winter, and his body would inevitably be affected.
But this child had directly snuggled into City Lord Shang’s arms, yet her body was even healthier than that of an ordinary child. Her small hands were warm, and she had not been affected by the cold poison at all.
If City Lord Shang hadn’t forbidden it, he would have loved to thoroughly study this child’s constitution.
It’s good that there are no problems, Shang Wuyang felt relieved.
Doctor Xu glanced at Qin Wanwan several times as he was leaving.
After he left, closing the room door behind him, only father and daughter remained in the room.
After this ordeal, Shang Wuyang felt drowsy, hugging the little warm stove.
“Wanwan, you’re really not cold?”
Qin Wanwan shook her head: “I’m not cold, Daddy. I’m using my power to make myself warmer, so Daddy can get warm quickly too!”
Although she couldn’t use magic power, the little Qilin could use her innate abilities to make her spiritual charm circulate faster.
Thus, the little Qilin became even warmer.
The price was extreme sleepiness.
Both father and daughter had drooping eyelids, struggling to stay awake. As they talked, they both fell asleep.
Yawning is contagious; when one person falls asleep, the other can’t hold on any longer.
Those outside dared not disturb them. Doctor Xu went in midway to check the pulse and confirmed that the cold poison had indeed been suppressed, and couldn’t help but stroke his beard.
Strange, strange…
The father and daughter slept until the next day. Qin Wanwan woke up hungry.
“Daddy, I’m so hungry.”
The little Qilin cub nuzzled in Shang Wuyang’s arms, her voice soft and tinged with grievance.
The little Qilin was starving.
Shang Wuyang opened his eyes. The cold poison in his body had been completely suppressed, and he had returned to his previous state.
He reached into the quilt and pulled out the little cub who was wriggling around.
Qin Wanwan was drowsy. After being pulled out, she rubbed her eyes, her clear, bright eyes staring at him blankly.
Shang Wuyang stared at her forehead.
“What is this.”
His slightly cool fingers touched the little chubby cub’s fair and smooth forehead.
Qin Wanwan wriggled her head.
“Daddy, it tickles.”
At the corner of the child’s forehead, two cute little horns had emerged.
They were white like mutton-fat jade, without any impurities, small and adorably rounded.
Shang Wuyang’s purple eyes stared at the pair of little horns, his mood a little unsettled.
Although he had long suspected that the little chubby cub was not human, seeing it with his own eyes was still shocking.
Qin Wanwan blankly raised her hand to touch them and her eyes widened.
“Why did my horns pop out?”
“Hehe, Daddy, look, my horns have popped out.”
She happily showed her precious horns to Shang Wuyang.
She really liked her horns, but after coming down, she was restricted from transforming into a little Qilin at will.
This time, she didn’t deliberately reveal her horns.
Heavenly Dao, did you hear that? Heavenly Emperor Uncle, did you see it? I didn’t do it on purpose!
Heavenly Dao: …………
Heavenly Emperor: …………
Qin Wanwan secretly peeked out the window; it seemed no lightning was going to strike her.
After his shock, Shang Wuyang couldn’t help but touch her little horns again.
Cute.
Qin Wanwan patted her belly: “Daddy, stop touching my horns, touch my belly, it’s rumbling.”
The corner of Shang Wuyang’s mouth turned up: “Let’s go, get up, wash up, and eat. However, you’ll need to wear a hat to cover them. Do these horns affect your body?”
Qin Wanwan nodded.
Under Shang Wuyang’s anxious gaze, she made a blooming shape with her hands beneath her little chin, then tilted her head and gave a sweet smile.
“Don’t I look even prettier now~”
Shang Wuyang:…………
So vain.
