Chapter 3: Daddy, Hit The Bad Guy
Xie Chong directly broke off a piece and handed it to her. The little one eagerly bit into it with her two small hands.
Not even a bit of the flatbread came off, and her little teeth almost broke off.
Qin Wanwan covered her mouth, her big red eyes welling up with tears that fell plop, plop.
Xie Chong took the hard flatbread from her hand: “I told you, you can’t eat it.”
Qin Wanwan whimpered pitifully a couple of times.
“My teeth hurt so much.”
Xie Chong felt that children were really troublesome and also stupid.
His rough hand pinched the little one’s soft cheek, and the soft flesh that touched his fingers immediately formed two cute dimples.
Xie Chong almost flung his hand away; he felt that he could easily crush this little face with his hand.
“Open your mouth.”
Qin Wanwan obediently opened her mouth. Her little mouth was plump and pink, her teeth neat and clean.
“It’s not loose; it’ll be fine in a bit.”
Qin Wanwan let out a muffled “Oh.”
“General, the porridge is ready.”
They were all eating hard, dry rations, but now with a child, those dry rations wouldn’t do, so porridge was specially cooked.
“Thank you.”
After recovering, her teeth didn’t hurt as much, and the child politely said thank you.
But the bowl was too hot, so Qin Wanwan looked at Daddy.
Xie Chong really wanted to pretend not to see her gaze.
“Daddy, the bowl is hot.”
It’s okay, Wanwan is thick-skinned and not at all shy.
She raised her two small hands and pushed them towards Xie Chong, showing with her actions that her hands were afraid of being burned.
Her eyes, clean as pearls, sparkled intelligently, as if they could speak.
“Daddy, hold it.” The beautiful little one nuzzled Xie Chong, her voice soft as she acted spoiled.
“Someone is holding it for you; I don’t have time.”
“Daddy, please hold it.”
In the end, Xie Chong, with an unhappy expression, held the bowl. The little brat stood in front of him, holding a spoon and eating bit by bit herself.
The porridge had a slightly sweet taste. Qin Wanwan ate two bites herself and then, holding up the spoon, stood on tiptoe, wanting to feed her daddy.
“Daddy, eat.” She looked at Xie Chong with the eyes of a pitiful creature.
What kind of things was Daddy eating? His teeth were going to fall out.
Xie Chong’s face turned cold: “No.”
He couldn’t understand it; even adults feared his cold expression.
Xie Chong was not only tall and imposing but also had a fierce look.
Moreover, a ferocious scar on his face from the war made him look particularly menacing.
But in reality, his appearance was inherently rugged, with strong brows, bright eyes, and sharp, distinct facial features. Although the scar was ferocious, it didn’t make him unattractive overall; instead, it added a wild beauty.
When he had a cold expression, let alone children, even dogs would tuck their tails and run.
Those children would cry even louder when they saw him.
What was going on with this child? Not only was she not afraid of him, but she also called him Daddy and even ordered him around.
Truly insatiable.
“Daddy, eat.”
This time, the little girl was very stubborn, holding it up if he didn’t eat.
“Daddy, Wanwan’s arm is sore and hurts.”
“You brought it on yourself; put it down.”
Qin Wanwan: “If Daddy eats one bite, Wanwan will put it down.”
Xie Chong still ate it. Where did this little brat come from? She was too much of a torment!
The bowl of porridge was finished completely, with Qin Wanwan eating two bites herself and feeding one bite to her daddy.
Keke flew back, bringing a bunch of fruit for Qin Wanwan.
Xie Chong glanced at the bird, which surprisingly knew how to find food.
Qin Wanwan ate one small fruit herself, gave one to Keke, and then one to Daddy.
When other people tried to coax her for fruit, she gave none of them any.
She didn’t have many fruits either!
The team got ready and set off.
Xie Chong didn’t want to hold Qin Wanwan, so he let others hold her.
Qin Wanwan immediately started crying, crying as if she had been abandoned by her biological parents. She was so pitiful that even his subordinates couldn’t stand it.
“Perhaps, General, you should still hold her. I see she’s quite well-behaved when she’s with you and doesn’t cry or make noise.”
Not to mention Xie Chong’s subordinates, even the horse condemned him, turning its head and biting his clothes again.
Xie Chong: …………
He wondered if he had committed too many sins and if it was his turn to have bad luck.
In the end, he reached out his hand.
Not saying a word was his last act of defiance.
Qin Wanwan pounced and hugged his neck, nuzzling him with soft hums, but she stopped crying.
Xie Chong almost threw this restless little cub down.
She was too soft and small; he really wasn’t used to it!
The team finally set off. Qin Wanwan sat on the horse, leaning against her daddy’s chest in a slouch.
After a while, she couldn’t sit still and then her big eyes fixated on the horse’s mane.
The little one sat forward a bit.
Xie Chong didn’t pay attention, as long as she didn’t fall off.
Qin Wanwan began to braid the horse’s mane with her little fingers.
But there was no rope for braiding pigtails.
Keke saw what she wanted at a glance, flapped its wings, flew down from the horse’s head, and plucked some thin, tough blades of grass.
Qin Wanwan happily used the grass to tie the ends of the little braids.
Soon, Xie Chong’s tall and handsome steed was full of little braids, some with green bits.
Xie Chong:…………
Ha, the horse doesn’t even care, so why should he? It even bit him earlier; it deserves it!
Horse: Happy~
Later, the sun got hotter and hotter, and Qin Wanwan’s dirty little face became flushed from the sun.
Right, this group of rough men didn’t know how to take care of a child, and hadn’t even washed her face yet. Her hair was also a bit messy, sticking out in all directions.
“Daddy, I’m hot.”
“Daddy, I’m thirsty.”
The Great General, who had never taken care of a child, could only take out his animal hide waterskin and hand it to her.
“Drink water.”
The water in the waterskin was also hot and had a strange smell.
She was listless, much like a dispirited sticky rice ball.
At this moment, she wasn’t leaning against Daddy anymore; the whole little person was pouting her buttocks and lying on the horse.
“Daddy, you’re so hot, I don’t want to be close to you.”
Xie Chong: … Why didn’t you complain about being hot before!
He was wearing armor, which he hadn’t taken off even in this weather.
The armor got very hot in the sun, but he was used to it.
He glanced at the sun hanging in the sky and at the little cake lying on the horse’s back, as if melted by the heat.
“Find a shady spot ahead to rest.”
“Yes.”
Someone immediately rode ahead quickly, and soon the scout returned.
“General, there’s a mountain forest ahead, but there are also signs of bandits there.”
Xie Chong: “Go there.”
Did bandits dare to rob their Tianqi army?
At this moment, Keke whispered in her ear.
“Cub, there’s an evil Black Tiger Stronghold here that specifically robs passing merchants and nearby villages. Find a way to get your Daddy to suppress them. Some merit points will fall to you, and you’ll be able to open the mall to buy things!”
Looking at what the Qilin cub had been eating since falling into the mortal world, and how hot she had become.
Fortunately, he and the Heavenly Dao had discussed being able to exchange things for merit points.
Qin Wanwan perked up a little bit.
She sat up and grabbed her Daddy’s hand.
“Daddy, fight the bad guys!”
Since fighting that so-called stronghold would earn merit, those people were bad guys.
Xie Chong, not understanding why, dismounted the child and placed her under the shade of a tree upon arrival.
“Who are the bad guys?”
Keke: “Bandits.”
The little one repeated like a parrot: “Bandits.”
Xie Chong’s ears twitched, and his eyes looked at Keke like a hawk.
Keke raised one wing to cover its bird face, “It’s over, I just blurted it out!”
Xie Chong stared at Keke: “This bird of yours is quite special.”
Qin Wanwan held up Keke and showed him: “Yes, Wanwan’s good friend.”
