While Ein slept, Ye Ming bought a child's dress from outside and then left the branch hall with little Ein.
Now Ein was not only physically smaller, but her temperament was also that of a seven or eight-year-old child.
So at this moment, seeing the macroscopic buildings around her, her eyes were full of curiosity and yearning.
"Ah Ming! Will we live here from now on?"
Little Ein asked excitedly, holding his hand.
"Does Ein want to live here in the future?" Ye Ming asked back with a smile.
"Mhm! This place is so beautiful, Ein naturally wants to live here. But..."
Little Ein seemed a bit troubled.
"But what?"
Ye Ming found it quite interesting to chat with the current Ein.
"But living here should cost a lot of money! Ein... has no money!"
Little Ein was worried about this.
"Hahaha! So you're worried about this!" Ye Ming suddenly found her adorable: "Ein doesn't, but brother does!"
"Ah!"
Hearing this, Ein's eyes lit up: "Ah Ming, do you have a lot of money?"
"Of course!"
Ye Ming waved his hand grandly and said generously, "Don't worry, Ein. Whatever you want in the future, brother will buy it for you!"
"Really! Ah Ming, you must not lie to Ein!" Little Ein suddenly extended her pinky finger and said blankly, "We pinky promise, whoever lies is a puppy!"
Pinky promise again!
"Okay!"
Ye Ming squatted down, rubbed Ein's little head, and extended his own pinky finger, saying, "Let's pinky promise!"
"Pinky promise, stab my heart, whoever breaks it is a puppy for a hundred years!"
"Whoever breaks it is a puppy!"
"Yay! Ah Ming is the best!"
*Peck!*
Little Ein hugged Ye Ming's neck and gave him a sweet kiss.
This tingly feeling almost made Ye Ming soar.
Ye Ming directly picked Ein up, placed her on his shoulders, and started running.
At this moment, he felt like a child too.
"Wow! Ah Ming! Faster! Faster!"
"Okay! Little Ein, hold on tight!"
"Wow! I'm flying!"
...
After playing with little Ein, it took Ye Ming a full hour to return to the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace.
"Ein, did you have fun today?"
Little Ein was still sitting on Ye Ming's shoulder, her face always beaming with a happy smile: "Mhm! This is Ein's happiest day!"
Afterward, perhaps because little Ein recalled previous events, the smile on her face began to fade: "Mom never let me play with other children before. It was always Ein alone."
"Alright! Don't be sad, Ein! Brother will find many, many friends for you to play with, okay!"
The current Ye Ming did not want Ein to recall too many past events.
Since he had returned her to her childhood, Ye Ming would make up for everything Ein had lost or never had.
It was like giving Ein back a childhood that should have been beautiful.
"Mhm!"
Little Ein hugged Ye Ming's head, squeezing her little head in as well, and the two leaned against each other.
The scene had a warm feeling.
"Eh! When did our Divine Lord start kidnapping children?"
At this moment, Nai Ni'er, who appeared from nowhere, suddenly appeared beside Ye Ming. She stared at little Ein with her beautiful eyes and joked.
However, as she observed more closely, a look of horror began to appear on her face.
"This... she... I..."
Indeed! Nai Ni'er was speechless!
The last time this happened was when she had just learned about the cultivation system.
But what was happening before her eyes truly bewildered Nai Ni'er.
Although Ein had shrunk in size, her special aura had not changed.
So she naturally recognized Ein.
"What's wrong! How could our calm and composed Thousand-Faced God King be so flustered?"
Ye Ming quite enjoyed Nai Ni'er's current expression.
It was a rare sight, seldom seen in ten years.
But Ein, on his shoulder, looked somewhat scared.
It seemed that her past wariness of strangers had, to some extent, influenced the current little Ein.
"It's alright! This elder sister is a good person!"
Seeing the situation, Ye Ming quickly comforted her softly.
"Mhm!"
Little Ein nodded but still seemed resistant. It seemed unlikely to change this in a short time.
Ye Ming had no good solution for this.
"I... Alright! I admit I'm shocked!" Nai Ni'er looked at little Ein, who was avoiding her gaze, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is going on?"
"No rush! We'll talk about it when Lolliya arrives! I don't want to explain it a second time!"
Ye Ming directly refused.
He had not forgotten the embarrassing incident that happened in front of everyone before.
Now that he could let Nai Ni'er's curiosity "torment" her a bit longer, Ye Ming would naturally not miss this opportunity.
"You..."
As someone who was enthusiastic about gathering information, Nai Ni'er's curiosity was naturally strong. Being deliberately teased by Ye Ming like this made her heart itch with impatience.
"Revenge! This is absolutely blatant revenge! Humph!"
Nai Ni'er stomped her incredibly long legs, wishing she could kick Ye Ming.
...
Half an hour later, Lolliya finally appeared.
But the moment she appeared, she was also attracted by little Ein on Ye Ming's shoulder.
"This..."
Clearly, she recognized Ein as well.
"Alright! Can you tell me now!"
At this moment, Nai Ni'er was already full of resentment.
And this was not entirely from Ye Ming.
A part of it also came from little Ein.
While they were waiting for Lolliya to return, Ye Ming and little Ein were chatting happily, their laughter filling the air.
But whenever she tried to interject, little Ein would avoid her and refuse to talk to her.
After being rebuffed a few times, Nai Ni'er became completely dejected.
Of course, Ye Ming was overjoyed that Nai Ni'er was so upset.
"The thing is..."
Since Lolliya had arrived, Ye Ming had no excuse to continue "tormenting" Nai Ni'er.
He told the two women everything that had happened to Ein.
During this time, to avoid disturbing little Ein, Ye Ming used some minor tricks to make her fall asleep.
Ten minutes later.
"Source of Calamity! Is it really that terrifying?"
After listening, Lolliya did not comment on whether Ye Ming's choice was correct, but focused on the Source of Calamity.
"As of now, I truly have no solution."
Ye Ming did not want to deceive them.
Hearing this reply, both women fell silent.
They were both very intelligent and naturally understood that keeping Ein was a ticking time bomb.
But if they were asked to eliminate Ein now.
They asked themselves, they could not do it.
Lolliya looked at the sleeping little Ein, at the innocent smile still lingering on her face.
"No matter what happens in the future, I will always be with you!"
