Considering Li Xuexuan, Shen Qiong had no choice but to stop.And He Chao had already knocked down several of the bodyguards outside with three or two moves, rushing into the hot spring bathhouse. His...The man rolled up his sleeves and began to bleed and skin.

Mu Xing wasn't idle either. She poured out the things from the snakeskin bag, hung the medicinal herbs outside to dry, picked some wild vegetables and brought them into the house, washing and scrubbing them.

By the time she brought out the barbecue grill, the man had almost finished preparing the goat.

"Wow! Little Uncle, you're so fast!"

The man handled the goat very cleanly and efficiently. He skinned it, gutted it, and left the whole thing intact. Mu Xing immediately decided: “Uncle, let’s have a roast whole lamb!”

Anyway, her grill is big enough!

"Okay, eat it however you like."

Fu Lingxiao had no objection. He cleaned the goat thoroughly and placed it on the grill.

Mu Xing didn't roast the lamb first, but instead said "Wait a moment" to him and ran into the house.

As soon as she left, the man who had seemed composed just moments before clenched his brow. He'd washed his hands several times, but the metallic scent of blood still lingered, nauseating him.

He was just thinking about waiting until the little girl wasn't looking to go into the house and look for some hand sanitizer, when the little girl came out carrying a basin of water.

She placed the basin on the sink, "Little uncle, quickly put your hand in to soak."

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted out, diluting the metallic smell in the air considerably. Fu Lingxiao disliked both the stench of blood and the scent of medicine, but he still obeyed and reached his hands in as instructed.

"Uncle, you stay here soaking, I'll go roast the lamb."

Mu Xing turned around and bounced to the barbecue grill, brushing oil onto the goat and adding charcoal to start a fire.

Fu Lingxiao only soaked for a few minutes, and the pungent smell of blood miraculously disappeared. His hands weren't tainted with the scent of medicine either.

This little thing, he really put a lot of thought into it.

His tightly locked brows stretched open, he walked over and hugged the little girl, "Thank you, baby."

Mu Xing was staring at the roasted lamb, drooling, and just hummed in response.

Could he be less attractive to her than a roasted sheep

The person who was being fobbed off expressed displeasure and wanted to punish the little girl who ignored him. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, dyeing his eyes with a hint of danger.

He leaned down and whispered in the little girl's ear, "Honey, how about we go soak in the hot springs this afternoon"

Mu Xing's soul had already been lured away by the aroma of barbecue. She was just murmuring "Mmm hmm" in response, completely oblivious to the fact that the large gray wolf standing behind her and embracing her was licking its sharp fangs, ready to devour her whole.

Fu Lingxiao's eyes were full of triumphant smiles, his thin lips gently brushing against her neck, "Then we agreed, let's soak together."

Mù Xīng was teased uncomfortably, and only then did he come to his senses, "What are we soaking together"

Fu Lingxiao's handsome eyebrows twitched slightly, "Soaking in a hot spring."

"No, no." Mu Xing shook her head in resistance. Just thinking about going into the water made her feel afraid.

Fu Lingxiao lightly bit her earlobe, “You already agreed just now, baby. You also promised me before that you’d learn to swim. Little ones can’t lie to grown-ups, okay”

It seems I agreed to...

Mu Xing pursed her lips and reluctantly replied, "Alright."

It was afternoon in the blink of an eye.

The Big Bad Wolf's eyes gleamed with a sinister green light, his body quivering with anticipation. "Darling," he purred, "we can leave now."

Mu Xing was sitting on a small stool at the door, holding a bowl and eating fruit. She was looking at the scenery down the mountain and listening to her ears. The contented expression on her face froze instantly upon hearing this.

"Well, uh… I'm going to the restroom."

She put down her bowl and dashed into the bathroom, slamming the door shut. She sat in a corner, pouting, not wanting to go into the hot springs at all. What should she do...

Fu Lingxiao waited at the door for a long time, but the little girl didn't come out. He realized that the little girl was deliberately avoiding him, so he got up and went to the bathroom to find her.

"Baby, are you okay"

The man's impatient voice came with a knock at the door.

Mu Xing clutched her head in her hands, her brow furrowed with worry as she desperately searched for an excuse: "The mop said it was scared to be home alone and wanted me to stay with it. I can't go, little uncle, you go yourself."

Fu Lingxiao chuckled, this little thing, in order not to go into the water, it could really come up with any excuse.

"Oh, then I'll go myself."

The voices outside faded, and the footsteps retreated.

Mu Xing pressed her ear against the door and listened for a while, confirming that there was no movement outside. She let out a sigh of relief, but who knew as soon as she opened the door, a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared before her eyes.

She couldn't help but be stunned, "Little Uncle Wasn't he gone..."

A man stood at the door, a towel draped around his waist. The setting sun cast a golden glow on him, and his deep-set eyes, crinkled with a smile, held hers. "Finished mopping already"

Mu Xing clutched her pants with her small hand, lowered her gaze, and felt a little guilty. "Mmm..."

The next moment, suddenly a dizzying sensation, when she came to, she was being carried on the man's shoulders.

The man carried her out, "Then I'll keep you company."

Mu Xing cried pitifully: There's no escaping this...

Fu Lingxiao carried the little girl all the way to the hot springs in the back mountains, and only then put her down.

"Baby, do you want to take it off yourself or do you need my help"

Words were said, but the hand had already reached out.

Mu Xing snuggled into his arms, her big, innocent eyes looking at him pitifully, "Little Uncle, I'm not ready yet. Can we do it another time"

The big bad wolf was always very patient with the little white rabbit he had a crush on. He gently kissed her tender, rosy lips and softly soothed, "Don't worry about anything, I'm here. I promise to hold you tight the whole time, never let go for even a second."

Mu Xing bit her lip, did a good while of psychological construction, then made up her mind and nodded.

Even though she was truly entering the hot spring and touching the water, she still fell into deep fear. Her body was tense and trembling.

She wanted her uncle to take her out, but she was too afraid to even say a word.

The fearless little girl, like a helpless and frightened kitten, curled up in his arms. She seemed fragile, as if she would break at the slightest touch. A touch of sympathy flickered in Fu Lingxiao's eyes.

But he must eliminate the little girl's fear of water, that weakness is too fatal.

Fu Lingxiao held Mu Xing as they sat beside the hot spring. The playful teasing in his heart had vanished, all he wanted now was to comfort her.

"Baby, don't be afraid. I'm here."

Mù Xīng had been terrified to the point where her brain went blank, and she froze completely, unable to react in any way.

Fu Lingxiao lifted her chin and leaned down, lightly kissing her.

Mu Xing sank into the warm and solid embrace, a faint scent of dark wood sandalwood lingered around her nose. It was Little Uncle's smell, giving her an indescribable sense of security.

Her tightly wound thoughts loosened slightly, and she felt the man's tenderness as he caressed her lips. It was a gentleness she had never experienced before.

The fear in her heart gradually dissipated as he softened it, all her thoughts clinging to him and flowing with him...

The stiff body in his arms gradually softened. Fu Lingxiao moved his thin lips away and rubbed them against the little girl's nose, "Baby, open your eyes and look at me."t match him, so he dodged frantically while looking for a chance to retreat downstairs.On the second floor, Qian Fei and that imposter Mu Xing had already fought from the room to the living room. Desp...
