Chapter 674 A Family of Three
Su Yu looked at the little girl. "You must listen to your mother, okay?"
The little girl looked a bit disappointed. "I know, I'll listen to Mother."
But after a moment, she returned to her usual self and said happily, "Now that Mother is back, it's time to eat. Daddy, hurry up and cook, Waner is a bit hungry."
"The things Daddy makes are so delicious. Waner never gets tired of eating them. I look forward to it every day."
Su Yu smiled. "Then play with Mother for a bit. Daddy will go prepare it right now, I'll be done soon."
Su Yu went into the kitchen and took out various ingredients from his spatial storage.
Before long, the aroma of delicious food filled the entire courtyard.
The little girl, who was playing with Ling Wanqing, caught the scent in the air.
"Daddy's almost done, I'm going to take a look."
"Okay, let's go see." The mother and daughter then went into the kitchen.
The little girl leaned in for a look. "It smells so good, I can't wait."
"It'll be ready in a moment. Go sit outside."
A short while later, Su Yu brought out the prepared dishes.
The little girl's eyes lit up.
"It's finally ready," she said, looking at Ling Wanqing with expectant eyes.
"You eat first."
"Then I won't hold back. Let's eat!"
The moment she took a bite, the little girl had a look of pure enjoyment.
Ling Wanqing saw this and rubbed her head.
"Eat slowly, there's no rush."
"Okay."
Once Su Yu joined them, the family of three was all together.
At that moment, the little girl picked up a piece of food and held it out to Su Yu.
"Daddy, eat this. It's really delicious."
Seeing this, Ling Wanqing asked, "What about Mother? Don't I get any?"
"Of course you do. I've picked some out for you too, Mother."
"Waner is such a good girl. Go ahead and eat." The family finished their dinner in a warm atmosphere.
After dinner, the little girl spoke up, "Mother, there's a Firework Festival tonight. I want to go see it."
The little girl stared straight at her.
Seeing this, Su Yu realized that Waner must have heard the shouts about the activities while playing earlier and kept it in mind.
She hadn't made a move then; so that was why.
Ling Wanqing smiled at the sight. "Alright, since Waner wants to go, we'll accompany you."
"Great! Let's go."
The little girl sat in her usual spot again. "Let's go!"
The three of them left the courtyard. Along the way, the people of Yunqi Valley saw them.
"Waner, going out to play again? Didn't you just get back?"
"I'm going to the Firework Festival with Daddy and Mother."
"I see. Our Die'er said she's going to find you to play tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for her at home tomorrow."
Before long, the three of them arrived at the city.
Their appearance didn't attract much attention; they just looked like a happy family of three, which was quite common here.
Only Waner could draw some attention. In the eyes of outsiders, Ling Wanqing always looked like someone else, never her original self.
But she could control that Breath Concealment Technique.
She could allow those she chose to see her true appearance.
For instance, little Waner could always see Ling Wanqing's true face.
The same went for Su Yu; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to maintain a false appearance in front of his daughter all day.
The two of them had also applied some concealment to little Waner; otherwise, she would be far too dazzling as well.
After all, she had inherited much of Ling Wanqing's looks, though she also resembled Su Yu in some ways.
On the way into the city, the little girl bought quite a few things.
At this moment, the little girl held a mask with peach blossoms and fireworks carved into it.
She stealthily put it on.
"Daddy, Mother, do you still recognize me? Guess who I am."
This action made both of them laugh.
Su Yu played along. "Let me guess… is it Waner?"
"Correct!" The little girl was delighted.
The family of three headed toward the festival.
Because of the Firework Festival, there were a lot of people here.
Many people from other places had made a special trip to come.
Children playing could be seen everywhere, along with Dao Companions accompanying each other… they all came to join the festivities.
The place was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and many Kongming Lanterns floated in the sky.
There were also unique decorations made from various Formations.
Su Wan would be happy every time she saw this scene, looking all around.
"Daddy, look! That older sister's ears are different from ours. She's so pretty too."
"And, and that older brother's hands are different from ours too. He has scales on his hands and body."
Children are always curious about many things.
"That's a sister from the Qingqiu Clan, and the other is from the Spirit Lizard Clan. That brother is quite rare."
"So that's how it is. There are so many different people, and they've all come to see this. They like watching fireworks just like Waner."
As for those who still needed to secure a spot…
Su Yu and his wife had long ago bought a spot in a pavilion because Waner loved to watch.
The three of them arrived at the pavilion, where the view was excellent.
Now they just had to wait for the fireworks to begin.
Fireworks soared into the air and burst across the ink-black sky—passionate reds, dazzling golds, and romantic purples. Cluster after cluster lit up the night like day.
Sparks cascaded down, scattering into a sky full of light points with a puff of wind. It was lively and brilliant, leaving everyone to watch the beauty above in silence.
The little girl watched the scene. "It's so beautiful!"
As the last beam of light vanished from the night sky, the once-bright sky returned to its original state.
The crowd began to disperse.
"Waner, let's go home. It's time for us to go back and sleep."
The three of them returned home.
The two of them looked at the little girl, who was still full of excitement after returning home.
"Waner, it's time to sleep."
"Then I want Daddy to tell me those stories. I haven't finished listening to the one from last time."
"I want to hear the story of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven."
"Alright, Daddy will tell it to you. Let's go to bed."
The stories from Su Yu's past life were finally coming in handy. In fact, many of his inspirations for Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities came from the myths and legends of his previous life.
Lulled by Su Yu's voice, the little girl gradually fell asleep.
Seeing this, Ling Wanqing said, "This girl… are the two of us spoiling her too much?"
"Especially you. You get her whatever she wants. Sometimes I'm quite curious where you manage to find the things she asks for."
"Sometimes I don't even understand what those things are."
Su Yu rubbed his head. "I just happened to find them by luck. Besides, those things aren't that precious, are they?"
"Besides, this little girl has her own little schemes."
