uted...It's all my brother's fault! That guy has a messed-up way of thinking.I bit my lip in frustration. Oh, this is bad…My brother picked up a broken chair from beside his feet and smashed it into t..."What's wrong" Jiang Qiyun frowned and asked in a deep voice.

I feel my temples throbbing, and Jiang Qiyun's voice, so close to me, pulls me back to reality.

"I... I had a nightmare..." I touched my forehead.

In my dream, I was still afraid of Yu's farewell, but I woke up drenched in cold sweat from the fright.

Jiang Qiyun frowned, sat up, and leaned over to hug me: "Haven't you been having nightmares lately You dreamed of the moon again"

"No, I dreamt of the little building at home, children were playing, but when I went back to look everyone had disappeared, she was about to cry... I felt anxious, so anxious my head was sweating..." I rubbed my face.

Jiang Qiyun said in a low voice, "Dreams are the manifestation of thoughts. If you have frequent nightmares, why not let me summon Boqi to eat your dreams"

"Eating dreams... But even if Berch eats my dreams, I'd still have other different nightmares... What on earth is going on..." I frowned.

After Burqi ate the dream-eating fruit, he could also re-enter dreams. That way, I could see your nightmares and maybe find clues. If we could solve them at the source, you wouldn't have nightmares anymore. Jiang Qiyun comforted me.

Alas, it wasn't exactly a nightmare, just inexplicable and unsettling.

He said a few more words, then Jiang Qiyun patted me and told me to keep sleeping.

Dreaming about the situation at home made me miss it even more. I couldn't fall back asleep. After chatting with Jiang Qiyun for a while, I got up and knocked on my older brother's door.

My brother was sleeping soundly when I woke him up and gave him a briefing. He sleepily asked, "…Are you going home first Why are you in such a hurry Is something wrong at home"

"Of course, I'll let you know if something happens at home... I just can't rest easy knowing that Gu Yunan and Lan Xi are still here. I feel more at ease watching over them myself." I said.

"Hmm... well, I guess I'll keep sleeping..." My brother flopped back down and went to sleep under the covers.

》》》

Jiang Qiyun sent me home. It was not yet dawn. Lan Xi and my grandmother were still asleep. Yu Gui and You Nan were also sleeping in their respective small beds in my room.

Seeing the children were doing well, I secretly let out a breath of relief.

Jiang Qiyun pressed down on my head: "You worry too much... They have so many ghosts and immortals protecting them, both overtly and covertly. They're safer than you are."

"I'm worried too, you usually come back in the evening. I feel much safer with you around. It's just that I worry when you're not here during the day... I even want to go to kindergarten and help out with reading!" I said bitterly.

Jiang Qiyun didn't laugh at me, nor did he scold me. He just hugged me, gently kissing my head.

"No matter when, as long as you silently recite the Sacred Verse, I will come to you immediately… hmm"

"Hmm."

We embraced each other by the bedside, and suddenly that noisy little alarm clock started banging away!

I'm truly baffled by Yu Gui's taste. She has this peculiar fascination with watching this little alarm clock strike itself. I helplessly let go of Jiang Qiyun and went to press the alarm clock down.

It's not even five o'clock yet! Who set the alarm so early...

"Father…" Younan had woken up, rubbing his eyes and looking at Jiang Qiyun standing in the room.

He shared the same soul with Jiang Qiyun, their eyes were almost identical, both implanted by the Purple Micro Emperor.

"Hmm." Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and patted him on the head.

Younan, like a lion cub being caressed, closed his eyes comfortably, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

He didn't forget Yu Gui, who was sound asleep in the small bed beside him and couldn't be woken up by even the loudest alarm clock. He reached out and gently pushed Yu Gui, who was clutching his blanket and sleeping soundly: "Wake up, Father is here."

With a soft "hmm" sound, he rolled over onto his back and went back to sleep in big letters.

Her pajamas were rumpled, revealing a glimpse of her chubby little belly.

Jiang Qiyun's slender fingers gently pinched the corner of her clothes, tugging at her nightgown, then covering her with a blanket.

Although I operated with just one hand and did it lightly, I was very pleased inside.

I reset the alarm clock. Jiang Qiyun was about to return to the Palace of the Underworld Emperor, so he came over and held my hand, saying softly, "Pay attention to the information on the soul-summoning paper. The City Gods of various places will cooperate with you and display the information known by the Underworld... Don't go to too dangerous places."

"Got it." He was really such a worrywart, insisting on telling me repeatedly.

"If you ever happen to complete a task for the Underworld, this seat will have a reward." Jiang Qiyun chuckled with a raised lip corner.

Um More rewards

I'm a bit curious, what kind of reward could Jiang Qiyun give me

"Alright, this deity shall return to my position. Little empress, don't forget to cultivate diligently." He lowered his head, and I hurriedly raised my toes to meet him, our lips meeting in a kiss.

It is said that his return time was at the end of the Yin hour, which is around 4:45 AM today. Fifteen minutes later, it would be the Mao hour, which is 5:00 AM.

Maoshi, also known as sunrise or dawn, is the time when ancient government offices began to operate. Therefore, there is a term called "dianmao" which refers to this practice of starting work at dawn.

Modern people are used to staying up late, they're probably fast asleep at this hour.

The Emperor seemed in a good mood as he "went back" to work. I yawned, ready to lie down and catch some sleep. Yunan called out softly, “Mother…”

I understand what he means, the little guy no matter how "cool" and mature, is still just a three-year-old baby, still the old lady's milk doll.

"Missing your mother" I picked him up and placed him on my bed, tucking the blanket around him and myself. We whispered to each other under the covers.

"Hmm," Yunan admitted, "I set my alarm earlier... I was hoping to see Father... Sure enough, after waiting for several days, I finally saw him today. It's a shame that Gui this little lazy pig wouldn't wake up."

It turned out that he had set the alarm clock so early just to meet Jiang Qiyun.

"Don't blame your father, he can't leave…" I pinched Younan's cheek.

He smiled and said, "Yunan understands. Father is very busy with official duties at the Palace of the Underworld Emperor. We've already seen Father's majesty during our time in the underworld..."

This little guy really admires his father, doesn't he It's a truly delicate yet solid bond.

I held Younan and soothed him for a while, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep beside me again.

》》》

Back home, life immediately shifted gears.

Lazy.

Watching Dabao take Younan and Yu Gui away, Grandma strapped Lan Xi to her chest with a baby carrier and prepared to go for a walk in the nearby park to bask in the sun.

"How are you holding up Lanxi has gotten pretty heavy, too…" I asked with concern as I helped Grandma onto a stool.

"How is that not possible! I've brought you three children, and not only have you no backaches or leg pains, but your spirits are even better... It shows that raising the son of god is a blessing, Xiao Qiao! Have as many more as you want, grandma can help you raise them until eighty years old!" Grandma beamed with health.

I'm speechless, forget it. I'm scared out of my wits, and you guys think this is lighthearted

My father, while making tea, said, "Don't stop your grandmother...Lan Xi is such a beautiful girl. Wherever she goes, those old men and women shower her with praise, making my grandmother so proud."

Sweat... I looked at Lan Xi, this little fellow was indeed born with a devilishly attractive face. His features were so beautiful, it was unreal, perfectly inheriting his father's handsome looks.

"Mommy~~ Mommy~~ Chirp Chirp" Lan Xi was a little over a year old, and her words were still unclear.

I don't know what kind of smart robot it learned from, it likes to call me "Mommy Mommy," and when it calls my brother, it's "Jiu Jiu," "Jiu Jiu."

"Your little one, Jiujiao, still has something to do and won't be back for another two days. Be good, listen to your great-grandmother, and don't be naughty." I instructed.

"Plop plop..." Lan Xi replied with a mouthful of bubbles.

Ugh, he's mischievous, but he's just too adorable! I couldn't help but ask my dad worriedly, "I'm not comfortable with grandma taking him out. He's such a beautiful baby, what if someone snatches him How will we handle that"

My dad picked up the thermos full of freshly brewed tea and smiled, “Of course I’m going with you! Oh my goodness, all those young girls and daughters-in-law say that Lanxi looks just like me, don't they My sweet little one~~~”

I turned my head away speechless, "To you, a good-for-nothing scoundrel all day long You have the nerve to..."

Now, my father can both accompany his aging mother and enjoy playing with his grandson. He had a contented silly grin on his face, carrying a bag full of baby supplies and a teapot, as he guarded his grandmother while they went out the door.

Only Chen Laogtou and I were left watching the shop. Chen Laogtou hummed a little tune as he carefully dusted with a feather duster, those nonexistent dust particles. I, on the other hand, lay listlessly on the sofa watching the morning news.

To steal half a day of leisure...

"Excuse me, is this the home of Mu student..." a timid voice rang out at the door of the shop.

Old Chen turned his head and asked in a daze, "What What Mu classmate"ve in."A dwelling is not merely a building, but a heart. A spacious heart can accommodate others." Jiang Qiyun raised his hand, plucking a burning incense stick and inserting it onto the writing desk,...
