Reunion with My Daughter

Xia Lun threw punches at the head of the bed. The shadows of his fists were so fast they couldn't be caught by the naked eye; at first glance, it looked as if Xia Lun's arms had completely disappeared.

Just a daily workout.

After finishing his exercise, Xia Lun fell straight back onto the bed.

"Want to continue?" Xia Lun turned his head and whispered into Aina's ear. Aina immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.

Xia Lun stared at the unfamiliar ceiling. "I wonder how little Mida is doing."

"She's doing very well," Aina said. "Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. She's about to turn into a chubby little dragon."

Xia Lun chuckled. "How do you know?"

"Did you forget? My bloodline flows through Mida's veins. Of course I know."

Only then did Xia Lun remember that when Aina saved Mida from the hands of the Fictional Truth, she had converted Mida's bloodline.

And Aina, as the progenitor of the vampires... could sense the condition of all her kin.

"But Mida still doesn't know that I can monitor her at any time." A hint of a smile appeared on Aina's lips. "Even now, she still doesn't understand why I catch her every time she sneaks a snack."

"Aina, you're too wicked... Mida has grown up, you should respect the child's privacy." Xia Lun gave Aina's backside a smack, producing a crisp sound. "That was on Mida's behalf."

Stare—

Aina's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Smack—" Xia Lun gave her another backhand slap, sending ripples across her curves. "You got a problem with that?"

Xia Lun lay hopelessly tied to the bed by magical chains while Aina tickled him mercilessly.

"Xia Lun, a person shouldn't be too arrogant."

"Alright, I get it."

"Are you thinking about getting back at me later?"

Xia Lun revealed a harmless smile. "You actually guessed right."

"So should I hit you harder now, or show weakness and beg you to let me go?"

"The latter, of course."

"Then will you let me go later?" Aina crawled up in front of Xia Lun, her silver hair cascading onto his chest as she met his gaze.

"No."

"Then why should I let you go now?"

"If you dare to do that... Aina, I promise, you're going to look very miserable later."

"How miserable?"

"The kind where your sweat and tears mix together, and you can't even utter a single word."

Xia Lun clearly felt Aina's body stiffen on top of him.

"Xia Lun, are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm reminding you."

Aina's gaze sharpened at first, then slowly softened. She gently stroked Xia Lun's cheek. "Xia Lun, stop letting your imagination run wild. You are my most beloved husband, how could I bear to hit you?"

"Heh."

"Alright, I'm tired too. Let's sleep." Aina grabbed a corner of the blanket beside them and pulled it over.

"Wait, Aina..."

"What is it?"

"The binding magic on me..."

"Asleep, do not disturb."

Aina rested her head on Xia Lun's arm and closed her eyes.

...

"Xia Lun, looking at you, did you not sleep well last night?"

Liyana couldn't help but ask when she saw Xia Lun looking so listless.

Aina, on the other hand, didn't seem to have cramped toes.

"It's nothing, I'm just not used to sleeping in the bed here," Xia Lun casually made up an excuse.

When sleeping last night, he hadn't been able to take any advantage of Aina... It was a bit of a pity.

"Is that so? That's quite rare..." Liyana looked at Aina and Xia Lun with a strange expression, but couldn't find anything unusual on their faces.

Mo Lini came out of her room, yawning.

With Luo Lun joining them... Liyana finally wouldn't shamelessly insist on sleeping in the same room as her.

After all, if Liyana wanted to sleep with Mo Lini, Luo Lun would definitely fight for the right to sleep with Mo Lini too.

Since the three of them couldn't fit into one bed, they simply separated, each taking their own room.

Mo Lini had already changed into the fur coat she bought yesterday. She was wrapped up thickly all over, fluffy and looking like a round penguin.

"Right, should we go buy the doggies next?" Mo Lini suddenly looked up and asked, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

She was, naturally, referring to the snow wolf dogs used for pulling sleds.

If they wanted to venture deep into the Snow Realm, mounts like snow wolf dogs or reindeer-like snowfield beasts of burden were essential.

Yesterday, while strolling around after buying clothes at the market, they had already gone to look at the animal vendors. The snow wolf dogs, covered in white fluff, instantly captured the girls' hearts.

"It's a bit of a pity, Mo Lini, but we might not need them anymore," Aina slowly spoke.

"Eh? Why? Are we not going to the Snow Realm anymore?" Mo Lini was slightly taken aback.

"Because someone will be coming to pick us up very soon." Aina looked up at the cloudless, pale sky, which blended with the distant snowfields, making it impossible to distinguish the boundary line.

Mo Lini looked a bit disappointed.

"Snow wolf dogs are hard to raise once they leave the snowfields, so we would have had to release them later anyway." Liyana patted Mo Lini's shoulder to comfort her.

However, speaking of Xia Lun and the others' acquaintances in the Snow Realm...

No way...

Liyana felt like she was about to have her horizons broadened once again.

"Mother, you've returned."

A tiny figure hugged Aina's waist from behind, nuzzling against her back.

"Mhm." Aina nodded.

"Father."

Mida then went over to give Xia Lun a hug.

"Long time no see." Xia Lun smiled and rubbed Mida's head.

The Snow Realm was Mida's territory. From the moment they stepped into the Snow Realm, Mida had sensed their presence.

Mo Lini looked at Mida, who was even smaller than herself, in great shock. Xia Lun and Aina already had a child?

"Adopted daughter," Liyana explained beside Mo Lini, clearly seeing her confusion.

A sense of crisis suddenly rose in Mo Lini's heart.

"Don't worry, the status of mascot belongs solely to you." Liyana saw through her again with a glance. "This child won't be going on adventures with us either."
