Feng Ninghe stopped her steps, looking at the man behind her with surprise, "What are you doing again? Why are you following me?"
Si Jianye, clad in a black robe with golden lines on the sleeves, looked magnificent and noble.
His handsome face remained mostly expressionless as he quietly gazed at Feng Ninghe, his low, husky voice slowly falling, "Wherever you sleep, I will follow."
The man's words successfully made her raise her delicate eyebrows, her eyes fixed on him, "What do you mean by this? Do you still want to sleep with me?"
What wicked ideas was this cunning man plotting?
Si Jianye smiled and moved aside. A small pink ball darted out from behind him.
Si Xin Xin's tender face was full of smiles. Her chubby little hands gently tugged at Feng Ninghe's sleeve, and she said crisply, "Pretty Mama, it's me! I want to sleep with you!"
Feng Ninghe's dissatisfaction finally subsided. She generously picked up Si Xin Xin and walked towards the room, "Okay, then we'll sleep together."
They entered the room and quickly sat on the bed.
Si Jianye had no intention of leaving; instead, he followed them into the room.
Feng Ninghe crossed her arms and quietly watched Si Jianye, "King of the Underworld, what are you doing coming in here?"
Si Jianye carefully observed the room and said softly, "Naturally, I'm here to sleep. I'm worried about Xin Xin being alone here."
After all, he was Si Xin Xin's father, so it was normal for him to worry.
Feng Ninghe glanced at him sideways, "There's only one bed in this room. Does the King of the Underworld plan to sleep on the floor?"
If the news of the dignified King of the Underworld sleeping on the floor spread, it would surely astound everyone.
She also didn't believe that someone like him would sleep on the floor.
Si Jianye, accustomed to a life of luxury and being revered by thousands, would he really sleep on the floor?
The man didn't say much. His thin lips curved upwards freely, and with a wave of his hand, the divine artifact "Ru Meng Shen Mian" (Dream-Entering God-Sleep) appeared on the floor, right next to Feng Ninghe's bed.
Ru Meng Shen Mian was even larger than her bed.
The already small room felt even more crowded.
Si Xin Xin blinked her eyes, pointed at Ru Meng Shen Mian, and explained in her childlike voice, "Mama, Papa is used to sleeping on this bed and carries it with him wherever he goes. Divine artifacts can be big or small, and this one can be even bigger."
Feng Ninghe instantly showed a look of understanding and specifically glanced at Si Jianye.
The man nimbly lay down on the artifact, covered himself with the quilt, and showed no intention of leaving.
Feng Ninghe didn't rush to drive Si Jianye away. She raised her hands and cast a formation.
It was a low-level formation, which wouldn't stop Si Jianye.
However, if the formation was broken, she would be awakened.
"Si Jianye, you can stay here and sleep, but I have conditions. You cannot break this barrier."
"Also, you can no longer claim to outsiders that I am yours."
Feng Ninghe spoke unhurriedly, looking quietly at the man in front of her.
Si Jianye shrugged indifferently, a smile playing on his lips, a hint of deep meaning appearing in his eyes.
These two issues were not difficult for him.
He could always find another way to declare it.
As long as he declared to the outside world that this woman was Si Xin Xin's godmother, others would understand that she was not to be offended, which would indirectly tell everyone that Feng Ninghe was his.
As for the barrier, it was even simpler. Why would he break the barrier for no reason?
The smile on the man's face clearly held a deeper meaning, and this smile made Feng Ninghe feel uneasy.
She always felt that Si Jianye was thinking about something.
But she couldn't pinpoint what was strange.
Soon, they all lay down to sleep.
Si Xin Xin's small figure was curled up, her chubby little hands gently holding Feng Ninghe's sleeve.
Looking at the curled-up figure beside her, Feng Ninghe's gaze softened, and she too drifted into a drowsy sleep.
Si Jianye slept exceptionally soundly.
Feng Ninghe did not sleep well.
Various scenes flashed through her mind, and past events plunged her into a nightmare.
"Pretty Mama."
Si Xin Xin blinked her bright eyes and reached out a small hand to gently wipe Feng Ninghe's forehead.
For some reason, her forehead was covered in sweat, yet her body felt cold.
Si Xin Xin instinctively reached out and shook Feng Ninghe, trying to wake her up, "Pretty Mama, why are you sweating so much? Wake up quickly."
Xiao Zhao, fearing something was wrong, urgently rubbed its fur against Feng Ninghe, whimpering from time to time.
Master, what happened to you all of a sudden!
The urgent calls reached his ears, successfully waking Si Jianye.
Si Jianye's brows furrowed, and he suddenly raised his hand to shatter the barrier, rushing forward.
Feng Ninghe seemed to be dreaming of something bad, her delicate brows furrowed, and she was drenched in sweat.
"Daddy, what happened to Pretty Mama?"
Si Xin Xin looked at Si Jianye with anxious eyes, her tender face flushed with concern.
Pretty Mama couldn't be in trouble.
Si Jianye scanned Feng Ninghe with his spiritual sense.
Upon seeing Feng Ninghe's nascent soul, his pupils involuntarily contracted.
This woman... the aura on her body seemed very familiar.
He seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
"Daddy, what happened to Pretty Mama?"
Seeing Si Jianye remain silent, Si Xin Xin's anxiety intensified. She looked up directly at him.
Looking at Si Xin Xin in front of him, Si Jianye smiled and lowered his gaze to the woman with her eyes closed.
His cool voice slowly fell, "It's nothing, she just fell into a nightmare."
Si Xin Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, her warm little hands patting her chest, "Fortunately, Pretty Mama is alright."
It had been difficult for her to find someone she was so pleased with to be her Mama, so she couldn't let Mama get hurt!
Si Jianye snapped his fingers, and a sound instantly entered Feng Ninghe's ears, pulling her out of the nightmare!
Feng Ninghe suddenly opened her eyes.
Seeing the faces in front of her, she instantly understood that the scenes flashing in her mind were just dreams...
"So it was all a dream."
She sighed softly, both relieved and感慨.
Si Xin Xin thoughtfully took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her bright, grape-like eyes flickered with doubt, "Pretty Mama, what did you dream about? Was it a scary dream?"
The tender little face in front of her was filled with eagerness. Feng Ninghe smiled and said softly, "It's nothing. Since you're awake, why don't we go eat something delicious?"
She had dreamed of Lin Country and everything that had happened in Li Country.
The past kept replaying in her mind.
This wasn't the first time Feng Ninghe had dreamed of these things.
These dreams also reminded her that the road ahead was still long.
Upon hearing about eating delicious food, Si Xin Xin nodded repeatedly, her small face beaming with a smile, "Okay, then let's go eat something delicious."
Outside the courtyard.
Axi and Old Man Xu stood quietly, craning their necks to observe everything inside the room.
"The King of the Underworld stayed here last night?"
