Chapter 202: Chapter 202

Who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, Yun Ran burst into tears, looking at him with a face full of grievance, accusing, "Why did you scold me? You hit me... and scolded me again..."

"When did I hit you and scold you?!"

Would I dare? Would I be willing?

The girl wiped her tears with her hand, "My name is Ranran, not little ancestor... You’re cursing..."

More like three years old, at most two and a half!

"Ranran good, Ranran cute, Ranran don’t cry, I won’t scold you, I won’t hit you, I’ll hit myself, alright?"

The girl across from him stared at him with eyes as clear as water, unblinking, just waiting for him to perform hitting himself.

Nangong Mo pursed his thin lips, raised his hand, and slapped himself on the head.

The girl blinked but continued to stare at him, as if saying: Go on!

The moonlight was enchanting, the starry river brilliant, and the crisp slapping sounds in the tranquil night became a unique and delightful melody.

Nangong Mo couldn’t even remember how many times he slapped himself. Just when he thought he might turn foolish if he continued...

The girl across suddenly frowned and asked him somewhat puzzled, "Nangong Mo, why are you hitting yourself?"

Don’t you know why I’m hitting myself? Who made me do it? Hmm?

Has the little girl recognized him now?! Wasn’t she intoxicated into Yun three years old? Didn’t she forget about Nangong Mo earlier?

For a moment, the man stood there frozen, unsure of how to react.

Yun Ran looked at his face with confusion, "Nangong Mo, why are you wearing a mask?"

Yun Ran tilted her head in thought, leaned forward, and was about to take his mask off.

Nangong Mo swiftly grabbed her hand, "Be good, this mask can’t be taken off."

The man gave a light cough and, with a serious face, spouted nonsense, "Because I’m so handsome and dashing, unrivaled in the world. In this dark night on a remote mountain, if the mask is taken off, it might attract female ghosts!"

"Female ghosts?" The girl widened her eyes slightly, her small mouth slightly agape, looking quite surprised.

The man curved his lips into a smile, his tone sinister and chilly, "Yes! Female ghosts! Specifically eat little girls like you, as dainty and sweet as a work of art! Are you scared?"

Yun Ran shivered in fright, trying hard to tuck her head into her collar, nodding like a little chicken pecking at rice, "Scared! Ranran is most afraid of ghosts! Ranran doesn’t want to be eaten by ghosts!"

The man raised an eyebrow in satisfaction, "So do you still want to take off the mask?"

The girl shook her head like a rattle drum, "No, no more!"

The man reached out to stroke her hair, smiling like a fox that stole the cream, "Mm, Ranran is so good!"

"Then, can you get me a star?"

The girl pointed at the sky with her finger, looking at him with eyes shimmering with expectancy.

How am I supposed to get a star?

Seeing him not replying, the girl’s little face fell, "You don’t want to?"

"I... I can’t reach it..."

Hearing this, the girl blinked at him for a moment, then pouted and huffed, full of disdain, "You can’t even get a star? You’re not impressive at all!"

"My senior brother is really impressive!"

"Even our family dog is impressive!"

Nangong Mo felt like the little girl was using the most innocent eyes and the softest voice to say words that pierced his heart...

This is simply killing without bleeding!

He suddenly stood up, wrapping an arm around the girl’s slender waist and picking her up.

The sudden lift off the ground startled Yun Ran, who instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, "W-what are you doing?"

The man looked down at her, smiling lightly, "Didn’t you want to pick a star? Hold tight."

With those words, before Yun Ran could react, the figure suddenly soared into the air, riding the clear wind under the moon, floating as if ethereal.

Yun Ran was overjoyed, "Wow! We’re flying! Stars, I want to reach the stars! Nangong Mo, fly higher!" Google seaʀᴄh novel⚑fire.net

Even if I fly higher, I can’t reach the sky!

By the river, where fireflies gather, circling around in the dark night, glimmering like a cluster of fire or scattered like the stars in the sky.

Nangong Mo set Yun Ran down on the grass by the river, reminding her repeatedly not to run around or go into the water.

Then he found a glass bottle, using Qinggong to fly into the air, weaving through thousands of fireflies, his robes fluttering, dreamy and illusory.

Yun Ran clapped and jumped on the grass, "Wow! Amazing! You caught one!"

"Wow! Caught another one, Nangong Mo you’re awesome!"

The man maintained an elegant demeanor, his thin lips curving into a charming smile, moving with ease and poise, while inwardly he was all smiles.

Originally, he could have quickly caught enough fireflies to fill the bottle, but instead, he flew in the air for almost half an hour...

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he held the glass bottle in his palm, curving his lips into a captivating smile, gently descending on the wind like an immortal in front of Yun Ran.

Yun Ran beamed like a flower, grabbing the glass bottle from his hand and running off without even sparing him another glance...

Am I worth less than a firefly?

Wait, is this use and discard?

Yun Ran didn’t care about his jumbled thoughts; she ran to the flower bushes and opened the lid of the bottle.

Fireflies fluttered out of the bottle, their glow like flowing stars in the sky, enchanting the eternal night.

The girl’s laughter was light and sweet as she reached out to catch the flying fireflies, the wind lifting her light skirt, fluttering like flight.

The moonlight, the fireflies, the girl, sketched a soft and beautiful painting.

Nangong Mo quietly stood at a distance, watching the girl playing in the flowers, his lips slowly curving up, the smile in his eyes tender and doting.

Being intoxicated into Yun three years old seems not bad?

When all the fireflies had flown away, the girl ran to Nangong Mo, holding her skirt, grabbing his sleeve, her starry eyes twinkling as she looked at him, "Nangong Mo, can you get me the moon?"

Can I take back what I said before?

"Nangong Mo, you don’t want to?"

I want to, but I can’t reach...

The man thought for a moment, then said seriously to Yun Ran, "The moon can’t be picked. If you pick the moon, the sky will go dark, and female ghosts will come out to eat you up. Are you scared?"

Yun Ran tucked her head, "Scared! So scary! Ranran doesn’t want to be eaten by ghosts!"

"Then do you still want to pick the moon?"

The girl tilted her head in thought for a moment, "Then, can you turn into a heavenly dog and fly up to take a bite of the moon?"

"If you just take a bite, the sky won’t go dark, and the female ghosts won’t come out."
