Mu Xuan stilled, reaching out instinctively to caress Yao Si's head.Behind her, the crowd erupted into shrieks, startling her.

"Ahahahahahha...It's his highness!"

"He's real, the real, live, breathing kind!"

"Oh my goodness! It's really his highness, my lord, it's blinding...blinding!"

"Both His Majesty and Her Highness is here, tell meif I'm dreaming!"

"I'm going to take a photo, where's my optical computer? Can someone borrow me an optical computer?"

"Ahahahahah...Ahahah...Ahah!"

Yao Siwas speechless.

Aren't we all bloodlings, is there really a need for such a fuss?

Besides...weren't you guys my fans just a minute ago? Such fickle fans!

Mu Xuan was indeed her father. His portal was of an entirely different level, and with just a tiny wave, a passageway to the Red Planet appeared. Probably for convenience's sake, it led to the Elder Council.

Without a word, Mu Xuanthrew the bunch of bloodlings to the Eldersso they'd settled everything and broughtYao Si home.

After all the trouble, they were already more than an hour late for dinner. Yao Sihad never been so late for dinner. Sheassumed that with Mu Xuan's personality, hewould definitely force her onto a chairand push theduck blood curd down her throat.

However, Mu Xuan acted out of character. After instructing her to have her meal, he completely disregarded her and sat down inthe corner of the sofa with his optical computer. Even if she deliberately tried to attract his attention, he never once offered her a glance.

His face remained distant and taut, his entire being emitting a menacing tension.

Yao Si endured his cold aura.

He was furious, and not just slightly! As an orphan with only thepathetic twenty years ofexperience, Yao Si had never once had to coax her parents. Without having any idea how that was supposed to be done, she wondered how she should proceed.Person seeking help here!

Yao Si kept all thepranksshe could come up with to herself and finishedthe entire bowl of duck blood curd obediently. She even askedfor an additional serving before daring to push the empty bowl back.

"Cough...Dad! I finished my meal."Look, everything is gone!

The man on the sofa completely disregarded her, keeping his focus on his optical computer as though she hadn't spoken.

I have my grievances too!He hadn't even botheredto correct the way she had called him...He must really be infuriated...

"I was wrong."

She let go of the bowl and came to standformally at his side with her hands hanging low, a repentant look on her face.

Mu Xuan fingers suddenly stopped; he was finally reacting. In a frosty tone, he asked, "What did you do wrong?"

"Eh...."

Yao Si froze.Right, whyamIin the wrong?Shehadclearly done a good deed, one where even the Elders Council should owe her bonus! So why was Daddy Mu so angry?

Mu Xuan took in a deep breath at her silence. He turnedto glance at her, thenspat out word by word, "Sisi, you're still just a cub!"

"Ah? I know that!"

"You're aware?" He frowned, the tension about him increasing."If you knew, how could you have gone to such a dangerous place by yourself? I told you, your ability isn't stable yet, besides it has a passive nature. If there weren't any bloodlings in the base, do you really think you would have been able to come back safely?"

"Er..." He was speaking the truth. She couldn't argue with it."I was worried about Nephew Gu at that time, and the communicationwas cut off in both the ship and the research base, that's why...Idid consider getting you! I swear!" she said, raising her hands to prove her sincerity.
