Chapter 860 - Not Letting Go (1/2)

Xin Lan and the child entered a staring contest. In the end, it was the dragon that looked away. This thing wasn't playing fair. Those eyes weren't anything such a small child should have. Instead, they looked a lot like the ones of the fallen god he had originally been.

He sighed and patted the child's head. ”Don't be like this. Didn't you agree to let me do other things first and only accompany you when you became an adult? You're still many years off so don't complain now. Something has happened and my Master's recluse is in danger. I'll have to go and take care of the people bothering him.”

The child continued to stare.

Xin Lan's brows twitched. ”A beauty shouldn't be harassed.” He glanced at the child. ”Anyway, didn't your brother come back from his mission yesterday? Why don't you go and annoy him?”

The child didn't bother about answering him. Anyway, it couldn't speak yet.

Xin Lan sighed, got up and picked up the child. He hated children. This one … it wasn't quite as bad but it was still annoying. Especially since it didn't seem to be a normal child.

Whatever Tian had done to have this fallen god experience his trial, Xin Lan felt that this so-called 'highest god' had fucked up pretty bad this time. Obviously, this thing had retained some awareness from its previous life. By now, he was quite sure that no memories were left though. Otherwise, this guy would be behaving differently.

Xin Lan carried him over to the chambers where the older brother lived and carefully looked around. When he first arrived, the people of this Hua family had been all over this child, their brain cells apparently reduced by half. By now … well, they were still all over the child but their heads were right again which made this whole thing troublesome.

They would notice when he came too close. Being in the same room was completely impossible. Even being on the other side of the estate could prove difficult if he wasn't extremely careful. In fact, when he had used that transmission stone just now, that had been dangerous. But he couldn't care less. If his Master was in danger, he had to know immediately. Everything else was secondary.

They reached the door to Hua Lin Rong's chambers and Xin Lan bent down. He looked at the child that earnestly held onto his sleeve and pointed at the door. ”Go and bother your brother. I'll be back in a while.”

The child … continued to hold onto his sleeve.

”Xiang Yu!” Xin Lan furrowed his brows and grabbed his sleeve, trying to wrest it out of the child's hands. Just when he managed to pry one of his hands off, the little one pulled the sleeve closer with the other hand and bit down on the fabric. Then he blinked his eyes. Xin Lan looked at him in defeat. Sure enough, a shameless person couldn't be beaten with ordinary means.
