The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2579 Side Story 83: Emperor, Please Work Hard
“No way!” Rong Xiaoxun lifted the blanket and climbed out of bed. It wasn’t easy for Brother and I to beat Father to it. We’ve even spent a lot of effort on this, but why is the outcome different from what we expected?!

Rong Xiu raised his brows and looked down at the small ball from above. “Didn’t you fall asleep?”

Rong Xiaoxun was dazed. Ah, I think… I made a mistake…

He was dazed for a while as his gaze drifted, and he slowly lay back down. He clutched the small blanket and looked like he was sleepwalking as he asked in a childish voice, “…Mother said she wanted to accompany Brother and me. Am I dreaming?”

He covered his forehead as if he hadn’t recovered his senses. He gently patted himself, as if coaxing himself to sleep. “Rong Xiaoxun, be good and sleep.”

Then, he carefully and seriously closed his eyes and tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened.

Chu Liuyue: “…”

Rong Xiu’s eyelids twitched.

His gaze turned slightly, and he looked at Rong Xiaoyan, who didn’t move at all as if he was sleeping very soundly and didn’t plan to move at all. He coldly said, “Is this how you taught your younger brother?”

Rong Xiaoyan, who was extremely proud, couldn’t tolerate such humiliation.

He clenched his teeth and finally resigned himself to his fate. He sat up and met Rong Xiu’s gaze.

Due to Rong Xiaoxun’s actions, the blanket was torn into a mess, and Rong Xiaoyan’s hair was a little messy. A few strands of short hair curled up, making him look more playful for some reason.

It was a stark contrast to his small, adult-like, cold, and calm face.

He pressed his lips against each other and seriously defended himself. “He’s your son.”

In other words, is there a need to ask whose IQ he took after?

Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes.

Rong Xiaoyan looked at him fearlessly.

The surrounding air seemed to gradually freeze.

Chu Liuyue watched from the side, and her glabella twitched.

Rong Xiaoyan was very similar to Rong Xiu, be it in terms of appearance or personality. Now that the adult and the child were together, they really looked like they were carved from the same mold.

My head hurts.

Rong Xiu raised his hand, and the silver-red light on his fingertips was easily crushed and dissipated.

Rong Xiaoxun originally opened his eyes a little, but when he saw this scene, his heart harshly skipped a beat.

Rong Xiu lightly asked, “Do you think it’s enough to set up seven God Realms and 11 King Xuan Master-level Xuan formations?”

As early as when he came over, Rong Xiaoyan already knew that their little bit was really not enough in front of his father. However, it was a little difficult for him to take the initiative to admit this, especially with his mother around.

He was silent.

However, Rong Xiaoxun detected the danger. After hesitating for a long time, he still got up. “Father! I didn’t do those seven God Realms!”

At this point, forget it! He who understands the times is a wise man!

He blinked and looked over enthusiastically. “Xiaoxun loves Father the most. Why would I purposely cause trouble for Father?”

Hearing this, the room suddenly fell silent.

Rong Xiu paused for once.

Chu Liuyue started doubting herself. “…I wasn’t like this when I was young…”

Rong Xiaoyan was caught off-guard and glanced at his younger brother expressionlessly.

Rong Xiaoxun was fearless.

He had already recognized the situation and directly ignored Rong Xiaoyan at the side. He rubbed his eyes and moved his short legs to Rong Xiu’s side, hugging him and shouting sweetly, “Father! Actually, Brother and I thought that you wouldn’t come tonight and that we’d be scared if we slept alone, so we came over! Now that you’re here, then, then we can rest assured!”

He looked up and blinked his black and dazzling eyes. “Father, didn’t you say that Brother and I have to protect Mother?”

This sentence finally made the Emperor feel much better.

He raised his brows and glanced at Rong Xiaoxun. Not bad. He’s not stupid and is worth teaching.

The expression in his eyes became much gentler, and Rong Xiaoxun finally relaxed. It seems like I can escape today!

But before he could even smile, he heard his father slowly say, “That’s right, but in the entire Fantasy Divine Palace, only your God Realm and your mother’s God Realm is of this color.”

Rong Xiaoxun’s body stiffened.

Rong Xiu’s voice sounded amused as he slowly said, “Rong Xiaoxun, do you think that your father would mistake your and your mother’s auras?”

Rong Xiaoxun pouted and finally ran away.

He was extremely fast and rushed to the door in the blink of an eye!

Chu Liuyue was shocked for a moment, but when she saw the obvious pink color on Rong Xiaoxun’s feet, she fell into an even deeper silence.

Rong Xiu naturally saw it too, but he didn’t care about it. Ever since he knew that he had two sons, he had already expected such a day.

The impact back then was even greater than now.

There was no point in talking about it.

However, Rong Xiaoxun quickly returned and panted as he went to pull Rong Xiaoyan back. “Brother! Run!”

Rong Xiaoyan looked down slightly and glanced at him in contempt, his entire body filled with rejection.

He easily avoided it.

Rong Xiaoxun was shocked. “Brother?”

Isn’t he afraid that Father would be angry?

However, Rong Xiaoyan had already thought it through.

He stood up straight and exchanged glances with Rong Xiu. Then, he tidied his messy hair and patted his clothes before looking at Chu Liuyue. “Mother, I want a younger sister.”

Rong Xiu’s cold aura instantly dissipated by quite a bit as he looked at his eldest son with a rare hint of satisfaction.

Chu Liuyue, who was suddenly called, was speechless.

Rong Xiaoyan didn’t seem to notice it as he continued, “Recently, I’ve actually often heard the High Priest and Ancestor Grandpa talk about this, but they considered that it was hard on Mother, so they didn’t mention it in front of you. But… Brother and I have already grown up and can take care of ourselves. Mother, you don’t have to worry too much.”

Chu Liuyue opened her mouth and didn’t know what to say.

Rong Xiu was the first to speak. “Alright, your mother and I know all of this. We’ll do as we see fit. It’s getting late. Go back and sleep.”

Rong Xiaoyan nodded in a reserved manner before he slowly walked toward the door.
It was much better than Rong Xiaoxun, who was escaping in a sorry state.

Rong Xiaoxun, who was following behind, gasped in shock when he saw that his father really didn’t intend to pursue the matter.

He followed Rong Xiaoyan respectfully. “Brother, you’re amazing!”

Rong Xiaoyan stopped in his tracks and glanced at him with a complicated gaze.

He turned around and asked very seriously, “Father, can you give me a smarter sister this time?”

“Please.”

…

The two little ones were still chased away mercilessly by the Emperor.

Chu Liuyue looked at the man with a darkened expression beside her and couldn’t help but laugh. “They’re still young. Why are you holding it against a child?”

Rong Xiu pulled her into his arms. “I wonder who they took after.”

Chu Liuyue held his face and kissed his lips. She coaxed, “You’re still angry?”

Rong Xiu tightened his grip. After a while, he smiled. “No, but it did remind me of something.”

He hugged her even tighter, as his palm gently rubbed her waist and buried in her shoulders.

His usually low and cold voice seemed to be tinged with a hint of hoarseness. “…It’s time to work hard.”
