Next time we meet, we must meet again.
Yun Ming looked at these adorable little ones, pondering that he would probably come again next year, or perhaps in a few months.
If he had business in Minerva District.
He might as well drop by to see them~
He would ask again then; he refused to believe he couldn't abduct these two children. This was a blemish on his record!
Once he had more money, he would just buy the Orphanage.
And bring them all back to Wei Fei Territory.
Heh, no one in this world can refuse me, Emperor Yun Ming!
"Still can't bear to part with those two little girls?"
"No, I was just thinking that I'll be busy once I go back this time. It's my first time going into a Void, you know. What if I suppress the Lemnian Hollow directly and get knighted as a Void Hunter by the Mayor?"
"..."
Red Bean was speechless.
His words were no different from saying, 'What if I win a hundred million and Zhang Ruonan chases after me to marry me?'
Pfft… "Then Big Brother will be a great hero~"
"Eh, am I not a great hero in Ling'er's heart right now? I'm going to be sad; it won't get better without Ling'er's kiss."
Smooch… The jealousy Ling'er had just felt vanished.
Although the big sister had just kissed him too, Ling'er could kiss him all the time, however she wanted… so there was no need to be jealous.
Big Brother was really something; if he wanted Ling'er's kiss, he should just say so.
He didn't need other big sisters to substitute~
The little girl jumped down from her seat and sat on Yun Ming's lap, putting her two hands on her tummy.
Warm and cozy~
Since the evening belonged to Sister Red Bean, the daytime was hers. She had also made many friends at the Orphanage this time.
If it hadn't been for last night's events, this would have been a very heartwarming trip, but now it carried a hint of shyness.
The little girl would eventually grow up.
It was through these continuous explorations of the world that she would slowly learn more things, realizing that Big Brother was a big bad wolf.
She couldn't get too close.
But it didn't matter, Big Brother wouldn't eat Ling'er.
So Ling'er wanted to get even closer, so that both Ling'er and Big Brother wouldn't be lonely… Although Big Brother seemed carefree on ordinary days, Ling'er always felt that Big Brother had something hidden in his heart. Otherwise, why did he always stay up at night?
Even if it was for cultivation… but sometimes he didn't cultivate, staying up until dawn, and Ling'er would find the young man sitting on the eaves, staring blankly at the rising sun.
Alone.
"Big Brother will always be Ling'er's great hero."
She snuggled closer, revealing her cute little canine teeth.
Acting cute and spoiled was the little girl's forte. She wrapped her soft little hands around Big Brother's waist and rubbed her face against him.
With a slightly sweeter voice… she could make Big Brother very happy.
Hehe, Ling'er was truly a scheming little rascal, just like Big Brother, that big rascal.
She secretly glanced at Sister Red Bean; her sister's eyes were also full of affection, but also tinged with blame and worry.
"Idiot, I don't want you to be any hero. Just be safe, just like you told Big Brother Zhi Mo and Sister Qing Xuan to be safe…"
"Otherwise, if Ling'er loses Big Brother, she'll be bullied."
Red Bean poked the little girl, who then gave her hand an 'awoo' bite, "Big Brother is so amazing, nothing will happen to him."
"That's right, bad guys live for a thousand years, you know~"
"Hey, I don't like it when you say that. How am I a bad guy? Who have I harmed?"
Red Bean rolled her eyes at him. Harmed whom?
She quietly took Yun Ming's hand and leaned against the young man's shoulder, her smile bright, fully enjoying this moment of closeness.
Otherwise, when they got home, her idiotic dad would start nagging again.
Seriously.
In their impression, was she really that easy to give herself away, that indiscreet a girl? Annoying… "Alright, let me lean for a while."
Her tone was like Qing Xuan coaxing a child, making Yun Ming feel a little unaccustomed, but he also obediently stopped making a fuss.
He held his younger sister, letting his little wife lean against him.
The bus gradually drove further away… heading west, until the sun set again. After several transfers, they reached Lanhaidao Road, an area where many wealthy people lived.
After all, it was nestled between mountains and water, and from higher ground, one could even gaze at the sea view.
Although the Lemnian Hollow was dangerous, it was difficult for it to affect the back mountain of Chenghui Flat, separated by a strait.
Yun Ming was startled awake from his cultivation by a sudden palpitation.
This feeling inexplicably made him extremely agitated. He checked his body but found no abnormalities, so he deduced it was some kind of premonition.
But as he gazed at the distant Lemnian Hollow.
The Aether activity and concentration in the air didn't seem to have changed much. Feeling uneasy, he quickly called his Senior Sister.
Senior Uncle and Yun Kui Mountain were fine.
The Hollow Investigation Association's work was also proceeding in an orderly manner, and Senior Disciple Brother hadn't entered a Void… So, where, where did something go wrong?
His premonitions were usually very accurate, so now, acting like a headless fly, he became even more worried. Someone must have gotten into trouble.
"What's wrong?"
Red Bean slowly woke up, looking at the young man's tightly furrowed brows, a little worried in her heart, "Did something happen? Don't rush."
But it was precisely because he didn't know what had happened that he was rushing.
Just then, the bus's radio suddenly switched channels, and a very standard broadcast voice rang out.
"We interrupt this program for an urgent warning. The Hollow Investigation Association has detected a sharp increase in the activity of the Crete Void, and secondary Void disasters have erupted in the surrounding areas…"
"The disaster area is mainly located in its northwest district, including: Fourteenth Street, Hope Avenue, and Peace District…"
"Citizens are advised to take precautions, cooperate with the Public Security Bureau and Municipal Government, and avoid going to the above locations recently."
This broadcast would repeat for a full ten minutes, and if one opened their phone, they would immediately receive the message without surprise, but the people of Ailidu had long been accustomed to all of this.
The passengers on the bus were not panicked; everything was as usual.
After all, the Crete Void was hundreds of kilometers away from here and would not affect the safety of Wei Fei Territory residents. This was not a matter of indifference.
Rather, everyone had grown accustomed to this damned world.
In the Void Era, one could not guarantee tomorrow.
Ordinary people had no power to resist natural disasters; cooperating and not causing trouble was all they could do.
After all, humans being eroded into Aetheric Undead would further increase Void activity and promote the Void's expansion.
Some elders could only sigh and pray for those far away.
On the bus, Red Bean opened her mouth but was momentarily speechless.
Peace District… So that was it, did this unease stem from there?
