At the end of the bustling bazaar is a forest of maple trees, the market is crowded and noisy, but the maple forest is different from its own enthusiasm, on the contrary, it is sparsely populated, silent, in the depths of this maple forest there is a thatched house, the thatched house faces a lake leading to the outside of the city, the lake is pale green and shining.

The people outside could only see a fiery red maple forest, but they couldn't find this thatched house anyway, because the owner of the house waved his hand and set up an illusion, which ordinary humans naturally couldn't crack.

"Father, can you stop cultivating today? Beibei wants to play hide and seek with my father. "The little child is not yet on his father's waist, and his big eyes are sparkling with his head up, which is very cute.

Ju Ling lowered his head and smiled, squatted down, looked at the child at eye level, sat on the grass with her in his arms, and rubbed the top of her head, "In vain, my father has told you many times that cultivation cannot be wasted in a day, and we must persevere in it, otherwise, we will not be able to grow taller in vain." ”

"Father, mother said, you lied to Beibei..."The child's immature voice immediately retorted, tilted his head and pouted, although some words were not clear, he still glared at the father who lied to her with great momentum.

"I grew up in vain, and my father couldn't deceive me. Ju Ling smiled, and rubbed the top of her head again before saying, "Baibai, do you know why your father has always insisted on letting you cultivate?"

"Beibei knows that the Father has said many times to protect humanity. The little man's white and tender hand patted his chest, "Beibei will protect humanity when he grows up." ”

Ju Ling smiled and picked her up and let her sit on his lap, "Bai Bai himself is also a human being, Bai Bai must learn to protect himself before he can protect the human who is powerless, you know?"

"Beibei knows. The child's immature head nodded, and his little hand pulled the corner of Juling's clothes, and the stars flashed in his eyes, "Father, let's go play hide and seek." ”

Ju Ling sighed, "Father has told you so much, don't you still want to cultivate? Saying that, he picked up the little guy in his arms, stood up, and put her on the ground, "Go and hide in vain, if your father catches it, you can't be lazy, you have to cultivate seriously." ”

The little guy turned around quickly, and his fleshy little legs swayed forward, running and running, and he didn't forget to turn back and bless Juling, "Father, turn around, don't peek." ”

Ju Ling said hello and turned around.

Only then did he turn his head in confidence, ran to the big tree by the river to hide, and then shouted loudly, "Father, Beibei is hiding." ”

With Ju Ling's five senses, even if he determined her position, he turned around, the black clothes crossed a soft arc in the air, and when he saw a touch of color exposed behind the tree, he shook his head and gradually got closer, but when he was about to walk, he turned back and changed his direction in confusion, "Where is it hidden in vain? Why can't my father find it?"

The child behind the tree giggled twice when he heard this, and shook the leaves slightly next to the tree's body.

"I heard your voice, in vain, my father will be able to find you soon, don't cry your nose again for not cultivating at that time. ”

Knowing that he was exposed, Bai Bai's eyes immediately widened and he covered his mouth tightly.

Ju Ling turned left and right and turned around the grass in front of the house, but he couldn't find the only child behind the tree in this open space.

"My family is now playing hide and seek more and more, and my father can't find you anymore. ”

"In vain, remind my father, my father can't find you. ”

"For nothing?"

The child behind the tree pouted, his father was too stupid, he couldn't find it after looking for so long!

Ju Ling turned around for a while, looked at the sky, and felt that it was almost over, so he raised his feet and walked to the lake, turned around, and saw the little guy next to the tree, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, walking over with long legs, and picking her up, "What is here in vain? It really makes my father easy to find, you see, my father is sweating in a hurry." ”

"Who called you so stupid, you can't find it after looking for so long, hum!" Bai Bai snorted and turned his head, his big eyes full of pride.

"That father has found Baibai, and Baibai has to keep his promise to cultivate. Holding her to the lake, Ju Ling gently put her on the ground, "In vain, stand up straight." ”

Reluctantly and helplessly, he learned to live in the tomb, facing the lake, standing straight.

"Spread your legs apart, arch slightly, close your eyes, and feel the energy in your body......" said Ju Ling, kneeling on one knee and straightening up the four-year-old.

It was difficult for the four-year-old child to understand everything his father said, so he could only follow his instructions, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat had broken out on his forehead, his legs were shaking, and the two pigtails that were tied up shook and swayed, still gritting his teeth and insisting.

Ju Ling can't be said to be distressed, this is his only precious daughter, he can't hold it in his arms and hold it in his heart, but he has to cultivate hard like a boy, but he is helpless as a father.

The dungeon is about to move, and humans have very little mana, so it is urgent to create a place to match it, they are human beings with the blood of half-body divine beasts, and they have immortal laws that ordinary humans do not have, and they must bear this burden.

The sky gradually darkened, the setting sun sprinkled a golden light, and a gentle but powerful voice came from the grass house, accompanied by the sound of bursts of rice, "Eat, Juling, in vain." ”

The owner of the voice gradually revealed his figure and approached the father and daughter by the lake.

Dressed in white, a patterned belt around his waist exposed his slender waist, slender and thin, but he exuded endless power between his legs.

She walked to Ju Ling's side, the flowing phoenix eyes glanced at him, turned around and squatted beside Bai Bai, and her slender and white hands pinched the little child's somewhat unsteady legs, before picking her up and walking to the thatched house, "Bai Bai is so hard today, my mother made you your favorite sweet and sour fish." ”

The tired and sweaty white child was a child, and immediately forgot about tiredness, her mind was full of delicious food, she happily showed a mouthful of white teeth, "The mother is the best, and the north likes the mother the most!"

"My mother also likes Baibai the most, and when we grow up in vain, my mother will take Baibai to eat more delicious food. ”

Bai Bai happily pouted and kissed his mother on the cheek, and his saliva covered her face, "Mother is the best." ”

Frost Ni Phoenix's eyes were crooked, and she smiled lovingly, "Bai Bai is also the cutest." ”

Looking at their backs, Ju Ling silently touched his nose and followed.

After he entered, Frosty Ni had already hugged the cleaned white white in front of the table, put some rice in her small bowl, and watched her lie there eating seriously, her eyes full of softness.

Ju Ling sat down silently, immediately received an eye knife, smiled flatteringly, picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, removed the fish bones and put it into a small white bowl, and the eye knife was put back, and he was relieved.

After the meal, Shuangni coaxed Bai to sleep, returned to her room with Ju Ling, glared at him again, and turned his head.

Ju Ling sighed, opened his broad chest and hugged her, "Ni'er, I know that you are angry that I let you cultivate in vain, she is still so young, how can I not know that your distress is not less than yours, but we can't change our identity." ”

Shuangni was silent for a while, hugged him back, and her smooth and white forehead was against his chest, "I know, but Baibai is still so young, and he has to bear such a heavy responsibility, I, a mother.... How can you bear it... How can I bear it..."

Ju Ling hugged her arms tightly, hugging her tighter, leaving no gaps in the middle, as if to set her in her body, "Ni'er, I will protect you..."

........................

"In vain, obediently wait at home for my father and mother, and my father and mother will come back soon. Frost kissed Bai Bai, who was standing at the door obediently, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Ju Ling hugged her waist and said softly, "Don't worry, Ni'er, it'll be fine." Only then did he turn around and squat, rubbing the top of Bai Bai's head, "Bai Bai, do you want to play hide and seek with your father?" But this time you have to wait a little longer, Bai Bai knows, my father is very stupid, and he always has to look for a long time. ”

Bai Bai is seven years old at this time, a little taller than before, but a lot thinner, she knows that her father and mother are going to a far place, she doesn't know where they are going, and she doesn't know how long they are going, but she believes that her father and mother, as long as they wait at home, they will definitely be able to wait for them, just like every time they hide and seek.

So she nodded, and watched her father and mother disappear in ignorance.

She hid behind the small stone at the door, obediently holding her round little chin, waiting for them.

But it was getting dark, and she didn't see her father or mother, and she thought that her father was so stupid, so she got up herself, went back to the hut, and lay down on her little bed, and was ready to hide when the day came.

But the next day it was dawn, and she hid behind the stones, and when it was dark, she could not reach her father and mother, and she was hungry, and went back to the house, and took up the fruit prepared by the frost and gnawed it, and after eating her fill, she lay down on the bed and thought,

My father is really stupid, this time with my mother's help, I still haven't found her for so long.

In this way, day after day, the little one waited in vain day after day, eating fruit when he was hungry, drinking water from the lake when he was thirsty, and not forgetting his father's instructions to persist in cultivation.

Two years have passed, and she is nine years old, and she has been hiding behind the stones at the door with her eyes wide open as always, waiting for her father to come and find her, but the result is still the same.

Finally snorted in vain, stood up with a brush, and stood up straight, "Father is so stupid, he still can't find me after looking for so long, so I'll go find him!"
