Chapter 74: Did I Enter The Wrong Door?
The two daddies were about to start fighting.
Qin Wanwan took a tiny breath and decisively played dead.
Her little head tilted, her feet kicked, and her little eyes rolled back with her tongue sticking out.
The most crucial thing was having Keke’s help.
Keke understood the cub so well.
In the Heavenly Court, the little one was at the bottom of the pack among divine beast cubs in terms of combat prowess. When other cubs were playing and got too heated, they’d completely disregard everything.
Every time Qin Wanwan was caught in the crossfire, she’d play dead if she couldn’t win.
The other cubs would immediately stop fighting.
And when she caused trouble outside and had to face her mother at home, she’d also play dead or hide.
Her main strategy was to avoid anything she couldn’t solve.
Avoiding problems didn’t solve them, but it worked really well for Qin Wanwan.
“Cub, cub, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me, what would I do if something happened to you~~~”
The melodramatic tone was like someone singing opera.
“Wanwan!”
Although both men regarded each other with hostility, they were both focused on Qin Wanwan.
Seeing the situation, they immediately forgot everything else and rushed to call for a doctor.
When the doctor arrived, Qin Wanwan secretly opened one eye.
“I, I’m fine.”
She felt a little guilty and clutched her hand, which was about to be examined, pulling it closer into Shang Wuyang’s embrace.
“No, Wanwan is just hungry.”
She told a little lie first.
Shang Wuyang: “…You just ate less than an hour ago.”
Being as sharp as he was, he knew what was going on from the guilty look on the little one’s face.
“So are you going to leave with him now?”
Shang Wuyang’s tone suddenly deepened, his expression and gaze making him look like an abandoned, lonely old man.
“Then let’s go. Following General Xie is indeed the best choice. After all, he is strong and healthy, and I am weak and might disappear at any time. He can take good care of you, cough cough…”
As he spoke, he even started coughing.
He looked like someone gravely ill, close to death.
Xie Chong: (′?ω?)?
Although the man’s words sounded like he was praising himself, why did he feel something was wrong?
Before his mind could fully process it, Shang Wuyang handed Qin Wanwan, whom he was holding, to Xie Chong.
Xie Chong instinctively caught her.
“Go…”
She looked even weaker, with a sense of fragility all over.
Qin Wanwan’s little heart felt so guilty and anxious.
“Daddy Shang, Daddy, Wanwan likes you, I wasn’t planning on leaving!”
Xie Chong:…………
Fine, he had been tricked!
!
Shang Wuyang sighed weakly: “Your Daddy Xie came all this way to pick you up, how can you not go back.”
Qin Wanwan turned her head to look at Xie Chong.
Xie Chong frowned and pursed his lips, a bad premonition forming in his heart.
“Daddy, I, I think I’ll stay with Daddy Shang for a few more days. Daddy Shang is poisoned and feels so cold, so cold.”
Saying this, her small hands grabbed his warm large palm, while her other hand grabbed Shang Wuyang’s hand and unexpectedly placed them together.
“If you don’t believe me, look for yourself.”
Shang Wuyang & Xie Chong: !!!
They quickly separated, their eyes filled with disdain.
Shang Wuyang even wiped his hand with a handkerchief.
Qin Wanwan: (?????)?????
What, are the daddies so disgusted with each other?
Xie Chong: “You’re not going back?”
He tightly held the child in his arms. Although there was no expression on his face, Qin Wanwan felt Xie Daddy’s eyes dim.
Like a dejected big dog.
Qin Wanwan clutched her little heart.
Boohoo… I feel like a bad child!
She drooped her little face: “Wanwan is only one, but you daddies are two.”
“Why don’t you split me into two?”
Qin Wanwan gave up, her little shoulders slumping. She looked like a listless, broken salted fish.
Shang Wuyang and Xie Chong both stared at her, and for a moment their gazes at each other were filled with killing intent.
Shang Wuyang: “If Wanwan wants to leave with you, that’s also fine.”
Xie Chong: “Conditions.”
Clearly, neither of them could bear to part with Qin Wanwan, and they began to try to calmly negotiate conditions.
Shang Wuyang: “General Xie’s army is too much of a hindrance at the Shangyang City gate. If it’s not too much trouble, General Xie, please come to my City Lord’s Mansion to discuss.”
Xie Chong: “Okay.”
“General!”
Xie Chong raised his hand to stop him from saying anything further.
“I believe City Lord Shang isn’t foolish enough to do anything that would be detrimental to Shangyang City.”
Shang Wuyang naturally understood what he meant, and merely chuckled without speaking.
On the way to the City Lord’s Mansion, Colonel Lin and some of the border army followed.
Qin Wanwan, carefree and unafraid of her two daddies fighting, cast all her worries aside and started playing with the elephant.
She sat on the elephant’s head, then its trunk, being lifted high by its trunk.
Xie Chong’s eyes were fixed on them, worried that the elephant might not catch her.
But the elephant always managed to catch the little girl steadily.
Qin Wanwan’s cheerful laughter was infectious, and both Xie Chong and Shang Wuyang unconsciously relaxed.
“Daddy, catch me!”
Qin Wanwan shouted joyfully and was then tossed by the elephant towards Xie Chong.
Xie Chong extended his arm and steadily caught the flying little girl.
“Don’t mess around, it’s dangerous.”
Qin Wanwan: “Nooo, Daddy Xie, quickly toss me over, Kanta will catch me, hurry, hurry.”
She trusted both her daddies and Kanta completely.
Under her urging, Xie Chong gave a look to Colonel Lin, who stood by the elephant, before tossing her over.
“Hahaha… fun, so fun!”
“Daddy, again!”
Along the way, little Qin Wanwan scampered around, simply having a wonderful time.
Those who had been hiding came out when they saw that nothing was happening.
Many children saw Qin Wanwan playing like this and were extremely envious.
They wanted to play too.
Upon arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, the two daddies went to the study, and Qin Wanwan sat between them.
“You are both daddies, don’t quarrel, don’t fight.”
“Daddy Xie is good, and Daddy Shang is also good.”
Like a little peacemaker, she spoke with her baby-fat cheeks, saying a sentence here and a sentence there.
Finally, she concluded: “We are all one family!”
Shang Wuyang & Xie Chong: …Who wants to be family with him!
Shang Wuyang: “You go play with the three wolves first.”
Qin Wanwan said “oh,” and her short legs ran to the doorway before turning back.
“Daddies, don’t fight.”
The two nodded expressionlessly.
Qin Wanwan then left with peace of mind, believing her daddies wouldn’t break their word.
However, as she walked outside, she seemed to remember something and the little one turned back.
Upon entering the room, she saw that her Daddy Xie was grabbing Daddy Shang’s collar, his other hand a clenched fist, ready to swing.
Shang Wuyang held a silver, shining arrow, about a palm’s length long, against Xie Chong’s neck.
Qin Wanwan: Σ(?д?|||)??
Did I come into the wrong room?
It must have been the wrong way she came in; she stepped in with her left foot first.
She’ll go out and try again.
This time, she carefully extended her right foot first.
The little girl looked into the room.
Both daddies were sitting properly dressed, each holding a cup of tea.
It was as if everything Qin Wanwan had seen before was an illusion.
Qin Wanwan: Now this is right~
