The summer is scorching and the heat is steaming, and the lush trees on this nameless hill just shade the scorching sun, blowing a cool breeze and bursts of coolness, endless refreshment. This is the tenth year that Xi Yan has lived in this nameless mountain with Xiao Gu Nian, and this monster within a radius of 100 miles has already been beaten by Xi Yan to the point that there is not much left, and the rest have all moved away after listening to the rumors.

And she set up an immortal barrier enchantment within a radius of ten miles from this mountain, but anyone who has a demon can feel this enchantment. So because of the summer heat and nothing to do, Xiyan took a nap and made up for the sleepiness that he couldn't sleep because he was infestation with too many demons and monsters to protect Xiao Gu Nian.

Taking advantage of the cool breeze in the afternoon, the brook was sleepy. And Xiao Gu Nian on her side had slept enough early, and she had been restless in bed for most of the day. She saw that the sleepy brook finally quietly climbed out of bed and ran to the yard to play.

Because she has seen too many demons and monsters since she was a child, and every time she listens to Xiyan's teaching, there are always monsters lining up to eat her, so she can't go out alone. Xiao Gu Nian is very obedient for this, and she only wanders around her yard when she sleeps. In the summer, children like to play in the water, and this little Gu is to take a wooden scoop in the water tank in their yard to scoop water and row the boat, and even wet their clothes.

Just when Xiao Gu Nian was playing, she saw that her thick and round water tank was full of small lotus flowers, and the two peach trees on the side of this water tank that had been planted by her mother's mother were full of flowers in an instant, and the petals falling with the breeze were very beautiful.

"The peach tree is blooming, I'm going to tell my mother!" Xiao Gu Nian was deeply impressed by the two peach trees that were planted and killed by the brook, because the brook always said that the peach trees bloomed and then fruited, and there were peaches to eat later. She has always kept in mind the hope she has for this, but she has seen these two peach trees planted alive by her mother's mother and the brook to die. So Xiao Gu Nian saw the peach tree blooming, and the first thing he wanted to do was to run to tell his mother.

However, when she turned her head, she saw an uncle with white hair and a golden crown, who was also dressed in white embroidered with gold stripes, and whose clothes were still dragging on the ground. Xiao Gu Nian has seen a lot of demons and monsters since she can remember, most of them are ugly, and the good-looking ones are not as good-looking as the uncle in white now, she can't help but look a little stunned.

If it were in the past, whether it was good-looking or ugly, Xiao Gu Nian would definitely be shouting at the monster to call his mother. But she saw that the man in front of her was exactly the same as the portrait that her mother had drawn for years. So Xiao Gu Nian asked the man in white from time to time.

"Uncle, who are you?"

"I'm your daddy!" The man in white spoke softly to Shang Xiao Gu Nian, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a smile from time to time.

"But my mother said that I grew it with golden lotus seeds, and I don't have a father!" Xiao Gu Nian looked up and saw this good-looking uncle in white and wondered from time to time, because what he said was obviously different from what her mother-in-law Xi Yan said.

"That's because Daddy made your mother angry, and she didn't allow me to see you to say that!" The man in white touched Xiao Gu Nian's head with great doting, but the smile arc at the corner of his mouth never became shallow.

"Then how do I know if what you say is true or false?" Xiao Gu Nian saw that although this white-clothed uncle was good-looking, she also thought that Xi Yan had taught her to guard against people, saying that there were bad people and bad monsters in this world who would deceive people. So you can't easily trust the words of strangers.

"Your name is Gu Nian, and your mother calls you to be Niannian. And your mother's name is Xiyan, right? The man in white only said that the little girl was quite alert, so he said again. You also enshrine a plaque in your house with the name of Jue Xi, and your mother has let you offer flowers and fruits every day since you can remember, and also told you that this is your benefactor to thank him for his protection, right? ”

"Well, Daddy is right!" Xiao Gu Nian listened to the other party's words, and seeing that his answer was so accurate, he already believed that this good-looking uncle was his father, so he immediately changed his words.

The man in white smiled even more for Xiao Gu Nian's father, and a string of crystal clear glass handpieces appeared in his originally empty hand and put it on Xiao Gu Nian's fleshy little hand.

"It's a gift from Daddy, and it protects you from being discovered by youkai. In this way, your mother doesn't have to work so hard to fight monsters all day long. Can't get lost, you know! ”

"yes, got it!"

"But I can't let your mother know that this bracelet was given by your father, otherwise your mother will be angry, and your father won't be able to come to see you secretly!"

"Okay, I won't tell my mother!" Xiao Gu Nian whispered, a pair of small hands immediately covered her mouth, she looked at Bai Yi, hugged each other's thighs from time to time, raised her head and continued. "Daddy, why don't you stay with your mother, there are often monsters running out to bully Niannian, and you have to eat Niannian!"

"Because my mother will be angry, and my mother is not very powerful, she will protect you!" The man in white patted Xiao Gu Nian's shoulder and muttered from time to time, but his eyes drifted into the distance.

"Then what if Nian Nian encounters a bad guy or monster that his mother can't beat?"

"Then you will tell the bad guy that Daddy is the Emperor of Heaven, if he dares to bully you again, Daddy will definitely not let him go! Remember? ”

"Remember!"

Listening to the sound of the room, he glanced sideways slightly, and he buried his head in Xiao Gu Nian, who was still holding his thigh, and said from time to time.

"Your mother is awake, if you see your father, you will be unhappy! So don't tell your mother about your father! ”

"Hmmm! Then Daddy, you have to come and see Nian Nian often! Xiao Gu Nian nodded as if he saw the chick pecking rice. Since she was a child, she was very envious of seeing that those children in the world had fathers, and she would have fathers when she played in the yard, and her eyes were so happy that they smiled.

"Okay, Daddy will come to see you when he's free!" Since returning to the Nine Heavens from Taishan Mansion fifty years ago, Xi Xi has been paying attention to the movements of Xi Yan in the mortal world. It is also thanks to her that she set up a plaque for herself to let Xiao Gu Nian offer flowers and incense candles every day, and occasionally hear Xiao Gu Nian's wishes when she makes offerings, such as never wanting to drink the white fungus lotus seed soup that her mother has made for many years day after day, or complaining that the roasted sweet potatoes in the brook can be burned into charcoal, and so on, which is funny.

Similarly, Xiao Gu Nian raised his whole soul through the ancient golden lotus seeds in Yao Chi and obtained the body, and his aura was too strong. For demons and monsters, it is undoubtedly moths against candle flames, so it also attracts those demons and monsters to covet it. A few times, Jue Xi saw that Xi Yan was almost unable to parry for these demons and monsters who came to the door, and secretly helped out.

Later, he found this string of glass bracelets that can carry huge spiritual power and cast a concealment spell, and now Xiao Gu Nian only needs to wear this bracelet to hide his spiritual power, so as not to be targeted by demons and monsters as he used to be. So Jue Xi made a glass bracelet and saw the opportunity to come to the lower realm, but he was afraid that he would be discovered by Xi Yan and be so sneaky.

Xiao Gu Nian disappeared when he turned around and didn't see his father, and he also remembered what he said, and he couldn't tell his mother Xiyan. So she saw the two peach trees full of flowers running into the house, shouting.

"Mother, the peach tree is blooming, come and see!"
