Chapter 657 Left-behind children
"Three of you, it's time for me to leave."
Han Xuan came back to his senses from his thoughts, and then said goodbye to Mu Zi and the others.
As a steward of Daqian Palace, Han Xuan's duties were not here. Now that Mu Zi and the other two had been settled and the matter was over, he could go back and report.
By the way, I would also like to ask the headquarters to find a spiritual formation master as soon as possible to inspect and repair the protective formation of Shengyuan City.
After Han Xuan left, the only people left in the room were the owner of the building, Lu Tong, and Mu Zi and her daughter.
Ling'er looked at the jade token in Mu Zi's hand, then looked at the gray-robed old man behind the counter, her eyes turning quietly.
"Old senior, please give me a demon-killing order."
Hearing the childish voice coming from his ear, Lu Tong was slightly stunned. Then he saw the girl in black clothes waving her little hand. A stream of light shot out from her pink fingertips, which turned into a drop of golden blood.
The blood was also extremely magical, as if it had an immortal quality, giving people a sense of mystery. When it appeared, a mighty force permeated from the golden blood, causing Lu Tong's eyes to reveal a look of surprise.
"I was wrong."
Lu Tong stroked his beard, and a look of amazement emerged on his old face. The little girl in front of him who seemed to be subconsciously ignored was actually a genuine Heavenly Supreme!
While sighing, Lu Tong did not delay his actions. He followed the same method and used Ling'er's spiritual blood to make a Demon-Slaying Order for her.
"Thank you."
Ling'er thanked him politely, then took the Demon Slayer Token in her hand and observed it quietly. The token in front of her was a pale gold color, shining brightly, which made Ling'er quite fond of it.
What made the little girl even more delighted was that now, like Mu Zi, she had her own token.
With this token, she can fight against those enemies together with Mu Zi.
"Mom, let's beat up all those monsters together!"
Ling'er looked at Mu Zi beside her, her little face full of excitement, she couldn't help but dance with joy, as if she had already made up her mind to do something big.
However, at this time, Mu Zi shook her head slightly.
"It's not us, it's me."
Mu Zi's tone was calm, but with a hint of unquestionableness. She did not want Ling'er to end up fighting with those evil tribes from outside the domain.
Although the little girl's current strength may not be much weaker than Mu Zi's thanks to the Tianluo Umbrella, perhaps out of her desire to protect her as a mother, she does not want her daughter to be exposed to the sight of the evil tribe from outside the domain too early.
"You stay here."
Seeing Mu Zi's refusal, Ling'er was obviously unhappy. She wanted to fight alongside her mother to protect her from the enemy, but this was something Ling'er had been looking forward to for a long time. She finally had the chance and was unwilling to give up.
So she pouted her lips and looked at Mu Zi with her big watery eyes, protesting silently.
"hehe."
Seeing the little girl like this, Mu Zi's mouth corners slightly raised and a faint smile appeared in her eyes, but she did not change her mind and her protest was ineffective.
"be good."
Mu Zi rubbed Ling'er's head, her voice gentle and with a hint of comfort.
Seeing that the little girl's expression had eased, Mu Zi changed the subject and talked about another angle.
"The Holy Abyss is an important place. We need someone to guard it to prevent sudden attacks from the evil tribes outside the domain."
"Ling'er can guard the rear and help mother as well. This way, mother can concentrate on killing the enemy without any worries."
Mu Zi said calmly. Although this was meant to appease Ling'er, it was not wrong to some extent. Ling'er's strength was now considered strong in the realm of immortals. Having her always in charge of the Holy Abyss was also a strong guarantee.
Although the Holy Abyss was not breached by the evil race from outside the domain in the original time and space, Mu Zi would not be careless because of this. After all, with the influence she brought, it was still unknown how the real situation would develop.
What if Mu Zi teleported to other continents in the universe to stop the foreign evil tribes, but when he came back he found that the Holy Abyss had been broken, that would be a big mess.
"Ok."
Although Ling'er was a little reluctant, she still pouted and agreed to Mu Zi's arrangement.
"Then, I'll listen to my mother." Ling'er tilted her head and said crisply.
Seeing Zi Ling being so well-behaved and clever, Mu Zi's pretty face couldn't help but show a gentle look. She stretched out her green fingers and gently pinched Ling'er's little face, making her giggle.
After a while of intimate interaction, Mu Zi took Ling'er's hand and brought her to Lu Tong.
"Ling'er will stay in Daqian Tower. Please, Mr. Lu, take care of her."
Lu Tong stroked his beard lightly. When he heard this, a trace of fluctuation appeared in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, at his age, he took on the job of taking care of children, which is quite interesting.
However, if the other party was a child who was comparable to the Supreme Being, he would naturally be quite happy.
Thinking of this, Lu Tong smiled and nodded, gladly accepting Mu Zi's request.
"Usually I'm the only one here, so it's a bit lonely. Haha, it would be more lively if I had a little fellow to accompany me."
While speaking, Lu Tong looked at the petite figure beside Mu Zi and happened to meet Ling'er's gaze. She was looking over at him and gave him a faint smile. That adorable look instantly made Lu Tong's old heart seem to become much younger.
"Mr. Lu, if there are any traces of the evil race from outside the domain, please let me know."
Mu Zi started talking about business. The main purpose of coming to Shengyuan was to fight against the evil race from outside the domain. If a Demon Emperor "came to the door", she could go and solve it as soon as possible.
"Ok."
Lu Tong did not hesitate and agreed immediately. Mu Zi had just arrived at the border and really needed to contact the foreign evil tribes to increase his understanding of them.
If there is any news about the Ghost Demon Emperor, she can notify him and let her give it a try.
However, I had just promised to inform him of the whereabouts of the evil race from outside the domain as soon as possible, but now I stood him up. I wonder if he will mind.
"I'm going to check out the border. Ling'er, stay here."
Mu Zi gave some instructions and then left, leaving the old and the young standing there, staring at each other.
"Um"
Looking at the black-clothed girl in front of him, Lu Tong couldn't help but feel a little troubled. He was good at managing Daqian Tower or dealing with the evil tribes from outside the domain, but when it came to taking care of children, he had no experience at all.
"Hehe, how old is the little girl?"
"Almost eight."
Hearing this, the gray-robed old man fell into deep thought. What are children of this age generally interested in?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Tong looked at Zi Ling who was quietly looking up at him, and suddenly his expression changed:
"Playing chess?"
