Gu Nuo’er looked up.

Her watery eyes looked at Ye Siming pitifully and weakly.

Her small hands were intertwined and tears were falling.

She wasn’t crying because she felt aggrieved.

Instead, it was because of guilt.

Elder Brother Siming treated her so well, but she still hid her true identity from him.

“Elder Brother Siming, I…”

She sniffed and sobbed cutely. Ye Siming’s eyes darkened.

“Troublesome.”

He stood up and took the initiative to stride towards her. Then, he pulled the child into his arms.

The youth squatted down and was almost as tall as her.

He patted Gu Nuo’er’s back gently.

Although his voice was deep, it was gentle. “Don’t cry anymore. Didn’t I say that if I scared you, I’ll apologize to you?”

He had chased after her in a hurry just now. If it was really Gu Nuo’er, she would indeed be afraid.

He even said that he had killed many gods.

In that case, how could the child not be afraid?

At the thought of this, Ye Siming pressed her even tighter into his arms. “I said something wrong.” He lowered his head and buried it in her neck.

Gu Nuo’er’s small body trembled because she was crying.

“No, no.” She hiccuped from crying. “Elder Brother Siming, actually, I..

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Siming interrupted her.

“There’s no need to say anymore. If you don’t want to say it now, you don’t have to tell me. When you want to say it, I’m willing to listen.”

Gu Nuo’er’s black eyes were filled with tears and she fluttered her eyelashes innocently. Her soft and fair face was pure and delicate.

Why did Elder Brother Siming suddenly give in?

Ye Siming held her small hand and gave her an extremely reassuring strength.

He suddenly thought things through very clearly. It didn’t matter if Gu Nuo’er was that fish demon.

He just hoped that she would be safe.

Ye Siming hoped that he was someone she could rely on and not the danger she feared.

Therefore, he stopped interrogating her.

However, it was undeniable.

Of course, Ye Siming also had a hint of anticipation.

If she was a fish demon, this meant that they could accompany each other for longer.

It could be so long that the Asura Realm opened and the Ruins Returning Sea flowed in the opposite direction…

In short, he would always follow her.

Ye Siming didn’t ask further. Instead, his voice was low and hoarse, filled with charm as he felt concerned for her.

“When I said I’d chop off someone’s finger just now, were you afraid?” Gu Nuo’er quickly wrapped her arms around Ye Siming’s neck and shook her head obediently.

“No!” Her childish voice was still sobbing. “They’re bad. They disobeyed Father’s orders and came to bully the villagers. They deserve it!”

Ye Siming pursed his thin lips and smiled charmingly.

However, as Gu Nuo’er spoke, she buried her head in his arms and started crying.

“Elder Brother Siming, many people died here. That uncle or auntie who had fallen in the field even had a dead baby next to them.”

She sobbed repeatedly, her hairstyle trembling.

“Nuo’er is so scared, but the villagers here need help. I have no choice but to muster up the courage to face up to things.”

As the child spoke, she hugged Ye Siming’s neck even tighter.

She rubbed against him longingly. “However, it’s good that Elder Brother Siming is here. I knew that my reliance has come. I don’t have to pretend to be an adult to deal with anything anymore!”

Ye Siming was stunned.

The tip of his nose was filled with the soft and sweet fragrance of Gu Nuo’er’s body.

He suddenly chuckled. “Little thing, remember this well. I’ll always be your reliance.”

Gu Nuo’er nodded repeatedly. “En!”

As the two of them were talking, an orange figure with hair draped over their shoulders suddenly flashed past the window.

Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er both saw it from the corner of their eyes and were stunned.

Why did the way the figure ran over just now… resemble so much like Gu Nuo’er’s actual self?
