Chapter 11: I Feel Wronged, Comfort Me

The little dumpling’s voice was soft and milky, like a strawberry-flavored milk candy. That damp kiss landed on his cheek, light as a feather.

This little one was just too soft—from the inside out, she was like a fluffy little dumpling, delicate and tender, carrying the scent of milk. Even if Yu Mozhi wanted to hug her, he didn’t know where to start. His heart was thrown into disarray by that kiss, leaving him at a loss.

He had never been this close to a three- or four-year-old child before. Even when filming, the young actors would stay far away from him because he always had a cold expression on his face that frightened them.

So children at this age were this soft?

And she even wanted to share half her luck with him…? How sweet.

As for raising him—

Although he didn’t think he had been particularly successful in life, he wasn’t such a failure that he needed a three- or four-year-old milk dumpling to take care of him, as if he were some kind of helpless cripple.

That really wasn’t necessary.

After declaring her “grand ambition,” the little dumpling blinked her big eyes and looked at her dad, who had an unconscious smile at the corners of his lips but said nothing.

“Daddy, isn’t Mianmian amazing? Why aren’t you praising Mianmian?”

The little koi was full of pride now. Among the koi clan, luck was the most important thing. As a race especially favored by the heavens, their luck far exceeded that of ordinary beings—sometimes hundreds or even thousands of times over.

But luck wasn’t inexhaustible. Being around members of the koi clan did influence one’s fortune, especially near the powerful koi demons. Sometimes, a simple blessing from one of them could make you rich or famous within hours.

However, giving away a portion of their origin luck was extremely rare, something even many great demons wouldn’t do.

And she was just a little koi, found starving in the wild and taken in by Immortal Mo. Still in her juvenile phase, her powers weren’t strong.

But because he was her daddy, other than feeling a tiny bit of heartache, Mianmian didn’t hesitate at all to do something that many great demons wouldn’t even consider.

Just a tiny bit of heartache!

But why wasn’t Daddy praising her?

The little dumpling puffed up her soft cheeks and wrapped her tiny arms around Daddy’s neck.

She felt wronged.

She buried her small face into his chest, clearly unhappy, looking like she needed comforting. Yu Mozhi was a bit flustered. He raised his hand and gently patted her messy, soft hair, then stiffly said, “Mianmian is amazing.”

The little dumpling instantly looked up, her eyes sparkling. She gave Yu Mozhi a loud kiss on the cheek. Her unhappiness disappeared as quickly as it came. Her big eyes curved into a joyful squint. “Daddy is amazing too!”

Yu Mozhi still had a cold and wasn’t feeling very well. When the little dumpling leaned in again, wanting to snuggle, he stopped her and picked her up.

Though “picked up” wasn’t quite accurate. She was so small, not even as tall as his thigh. It was more like lifting her up like a toy.

She didn’t mind at all. Her tiny arms quickly wrapped around him again.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, as if he were her whole world.

So obedient, so lovable.

She was so cute, it made his heart melt.

“Did you sleep well? I’ll take you out to get food.”

The little koi nodded hard and reminded him, “But Daddy has to take his medicine first! Only by taking medicine will you get better quickly.”

Alright then. She really liked to take charge.

Yu Mozhi tapped Yu Mianmian’s little forehead.
