Ye Siming picked the child up.

He raised his leg and closed the door.

He placed her in the bed and covered her with the blanket again.

Gu Nuo’er moved to the inside of the bed very generously.

She reached out her small hand and patted the side. “Elder Brother Siming, you can lie down too!”

Ye Siming paused and looked down at the child’s porcelain-white face with his cold eyes.

Her black eyes were clear and pure.

With the rustling of clothes, Ye Siming lay beside her.

Gu Nuo’er quickly grabbed a corner of the blanket and gently covered his stomach.

“My mother said that you have to cover your stomach well when you sleep. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold easily.”

After saying that, the child took the initiative to hug one of Ye Siming’s arms from under the blanket.

Then, she had planned on resting her leg on him.

However, as soon as she raised her leg, she kicked the sword at Ye Siming’s waist.

The sword hilt was made of black iron and was very cold.

The child was so cold that she immediately retracted her foot.

Her small pink toes curled up into a delicate shape like a small shell.

“It’s too cold!”

Without thinking, Ye Siming took off the sword and placed it aside.

He had always been vigilant.

Ever since Bai Yi gave him the sword, he hadn’t let it leave his side much.

He was always guarded as if it was a habit it had developed over the years. However, at this moment, he threw away his sword and pressed the child under the blanket.

As he tucked in the corners of the blanket, he said in a low voice, “If you don’t sleep soon, it’ll be dawn.”

The child obediently grabbed his sleeve. “Elder Brother Siming, I’m not too sleepy now. Can you tell me a story?”

“What story do you want to hear?”

Gu Nuo’er lowered her eyes and thought about it.

“Your life in the past.”

“In the past…” Ye Siming’s voice was low, carrying a hint of sluggishness since he deliberately wanted to coax her to sleep.

“In the past, when I was in the Asura Realm, out of boredom, I kept killing.”

Gu Nuo’er’s small body trembled and she snuggled into his arms.

“Killing?

Ye Siming chuckled and stroked her black hair. “They’re not considered humans. They’re just a bunch of demon beasts of strange shapes and forms.”

“Oh… and then?”

“In the end, they supported me as the monarch, letting me rule the Asura Realm. However, there were also those who disobeyed, so there was naturally resistance. Therefore, later on, I stepped on tens of thousands of corpses to ascend to the throne.”

Gu Nuo’er immediately let out a soft wow.

“Elder Brother Siming is so amazing.”

Ye Siming said slowly, “But later on, I gradually realized that such days are very boring. There’s no sunlight in the Asura Realm.”

“Are there sugar figurines there?”

The young man sneered. “Of course not.”

Gu Nuo’er pouted. “That place isn’t good.”

She grabbed Ye Siming’s clothes tightly. “Elder Brother Siming, will you return there in the future?”

Ye Siming was silent for a moment before answering, “Maybe.”

However, this was dependent on when Gu Nuo’er would leave him.

He patted the child’s back and protected her tightly under the blanket.

Ye Siming talked about his life in the Asura Realm intermittently.

“There’s also a demon beast that looks like a cat there. If there’s a chance, I can bring it over for you to play with.”

Ye Siming spoke of Qiongqi as if he was a family pet.

The sleepy Gu Nuo’er nodded. “Alright, then I’ll let it be good friends with Big Meow and Little Meow.”

The wind and rain outside the window had gotten heavier at some point.

All the villages on the mountain were lit with dim yellow lights.

On such a dark and cold night, Gu Nuo’er was well protected in his arms.

She gradually fell asleep.

At this moment, there were a few light knocks on the wooden door..
