Strongest Immortal Emperor in City

Silence, the cave where the three of them are, the terror of silence, even the sound of their breathing seemed to have completely disappeared. The oppressive atmosphere... It was flowing in the air. All of this needed Little Charcoal to open his mouth to break it.    

    

"I..."    

    

A voice that was as soft as a mosquito's buzzing came out from underneath Little Charcoal's tightly lowered head. In an instant. The surrounding air seemed to flow again. Ye Chen and Red Lotus both heaved a sigh of relief and breathed lightly.    

    

"I'm... afraid..."    

    

The voice was still intermittent and it carried a sobbing sound.    

    

"Like... If not... I won't do anything. If... I don't make money, Dad... Mom... Will... Will I take it as a burden... Will... will... Will it feel like... it feels like... it feels like... I am in trouble... Sell me, wuuuu ~ ~ ~ "    

    

At the end of his words, Little Charcoal finally started crying. He thought that he had cried all his tears last night. Drops of tears fell from his face to the flower pot and hit the petals. The swaying flower was just like Little Charcoal's current mood. He was filled with uncertainty.    

    

"What an idiot..."    

    

After hearing Little Charcoal's explanation, Ye Chen and Red Lotus let out a breath at the same time. Their hearts ached at the same time.    

    

It turned out that the reason why the two of them were distressed was so simple. Little Charcoal was only afraid that the two of them would think that she was useless and think that she was a burden. It was just that simple to be afraid of being abandoned by the two of them.    

    

It was just that Ye Chen and Red Lotus, who had never experienced such a life before, were unable to understand Little Charcoal's thoughts. That was why they had always been vexed and let their imagination run wild, making the simple reason complicated.    

    

"Who said that my Little Charcoal is useless?"    

    

Ye Chen took a deep breath and picked up Little Charcoal, who was in his arms. He turned around and let her face him. After that, he used his large hand to completely cover her thin and weak face and lifted her face. She stared at the pair of eyes hidden behind her bangs.    

    

"Listen up, Little Charcoal. Father and mother... the reason why they are standing here is because of Little Charcoal. Without Little Charcoal, our existence would be meaningless. To the two of them, as long as they can watch Little Charcoal grow healthily and live a happy life. It was a kind of happiness, understood? Little Charcoal is not useless. You are our most precious daughter."    

    

Perhaps his words were a little vague because he did not want to lie to Little Charcoal, but he could not expose his identity. Perhaps there was a reason for that.    

    

However, Ye Chen and Red Lotus' feelings for Little Charcoal were real. In just a few days of interaction, this pitiful and strong girl had completely moved their souls.    

    

Even the usually cold Ye Chen couldn't help feeling some kind of fatherly love when he looked at Little Charcoal.    

    

"Really... Really?"    

    

Raising his head, Little Charcoal looked at him timidly. He looked at him with a weak and helpless and hot look, as if he had just pecked open an eggshell. The hatchling barely managed to open its wet eyes. With a coquettish and eager gaze, it carefully sized up the person standing in front of it. It was like a big bird that gave off a gentle and intimate aura.    

    

Perhaps that was indeed the case. In the past, she had always felt fear and fear towards the outside world. It was as if she had been sealed in an eggshell, living alone in the darkness. But now, it was the first time she had pecked the eggshell. He tried to respond to the call of the two outside, trying to adapt to the light outside.    

    

To be honest, because there wasn't much time left for the two of them. So... In such an urgent time... Breaking Little Charcoal's heart by force, although it was a last resort... In fact, he had no idea whether this would bring about the opposite effect. It would only hurt Little Charcoal more, making her more isolated.    

    

Until now, only at this moment did Ye Chen finally let go of the huge rock in his heart. It seemed like what he had done wasn't wrong, although he had made Little Charcoal cry twice in such a short period of time. He felt sorry for himself as he rolled around on the ground. It was a kind of retribution. However, this was the result of what he had done. Little Charcoal had already taken the most crucial step.    

    

"Of course it's true. Besides, isn't Little Charcoal helping father take care of these flowers? Why is it useless? What an idiot."    

    

Ye Chen rubbed Little Charcoal's head a little harder and lifted her up and circled around her. After crossing this biggest obstacle, his current mood was really comfortable. He only felt that his life in the future would be bright, and his footsteps would be light and light.    

    

"What, you don't believe in dad?" Ye Chen pretended to be unhappy when he saw that Little Charcoal still had a blank expression on his face.    

    

Little Charcoal hurriedly shook his head with all his strength, even if it meant breaking his neck.    

    

Seriously, even though he had resolved this knot in his heart, he still looked scared. How did that evil father and mother treat Little Charcoal in the past? Perhaps even Little Charcoal's idea of "being sold without any use" was all thanks to those two bastards.    

    

Ye Chen secretly cursed Little Charcoal's parents, even though this was only his guess. But there was one thing that could be confirmed from Little Charcoal's usual behavior. It was the two of them. Their attitude towards Little Charcoal was absolutely vile. Perhaps they treated her as someone who was tired and despised her, or even beat and scolded her.    

    

"Ah-!"    

    

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly heard Little Charcoal's scream. Ye Chen quickly looked at Little Charcoal. He found that she was staring at Red Lotus with her mouth wide open.    

    

Ye Chen followed her gaze and saw a scene that made him not know whether to laugh or cry.    

    

Just like Ye Chen, Red Lotus was incomparably happy after undoing the knot in Little Charcoal's heart. She was wiping the wet corners of her eyes with blind excitement and gratification, but she was holding the pot in her hand. The water was still flowing continuously, and it had already drenched half of the cave's floor.    

    

It seemed that even making the Asoka Congee had become wishful thinking.    

    

Little Charcoal jumped down from Ye Chen's arms with great agility. He took the pot from Red Lotus and ran outside. After pouring out the excess water, Ye Chen followed and stood beside Red Lotus. Seeing Little Charcoal in such a hurry, a smile appeared on Little Charcoal's face at the same time.    

    

"What a useless mother."    

    

Ye Chen flicked Red Lotus on her forehead. Unexpectedly, this silly girl only lowered her head and smiled in embarrassment.    

    

For a moment, Ye Chen was stunned by the gentle smile on Red Lotus's face. He even began to suspect that this girl had been brainwashed by something when she slept last night.    

    

Could it be... Could it be?    

    

Ye Chen suddenly looked at Red Lotus in shock.    

    

Could it be that other than pretending to be mature in front of others and being sarcastic in front of acquaintances, this fellow actually had the qualifications to be a good wife and a good mother?
