"I'll stay with you!"
These four simple words said it all.
"Silly girl!"
Ye Ming held Luoliya's small hand, looking at the girl who quietly gave everything for him, his heart felt warm and comfortable.
It was also marvelous.
Their eyes met, the atmosphere becoming quite ambiguous.
"Cough! Cough!"
Watching this scene, Nai Nier, standing nearby, gritted her teeth. "I say... there's still a living person right here, you know?"
"Uh!"
Luoliya quickly pulled her hand away from Ye Ming, her pretty face flushing with a blush like a radiant sunset.
"Oh! Didn't notice you just now! Anyway, there's nothing for you to do here, why don't you leave first? I have some private matters to discuss with Luoliya!"
Ye Ming felt no embarrassment at all. Instead, he deliberately provoked her.
"You..."
This time, Nai Nier truly exploded.
Seeing this, Luoliya muttered to herself, "This is not good."
Based on her understanding of Nai Nier, if Ye Ming angered her to this extent, she was likely in for trouble.
The title "Thousand Faces" wasn't given for nothing.
As expected, Luoliya's guess was immediately confirmed.
At this moment, the anger on Nai Nier's face vanished instantly, as if nothing had happened before. Her expression was calm, so calm it was almost... abnormal.
"Holy crap!"
Ye Ming also seemed to realize he had been too "arrogant" just now.
"That... that Nai Nier, ju... just now I was joking. In fact, I have many things I wanted to discuss with you."
Ye Ming said cautiously.
"Heh heh! Is that so?"
Nai Nier's face was as calm as autumn water, and she said indifferently, "Just coincidentally! I also have many things I want to have a... good... talk... with Lord God."
"Let's go! We'll find another place to talk!"
Nai Nier didn't care if Ye Ming followed her, she simply walked out of the Tianming Divine Palace on her own.
"Uh... actually, we can talk here too."
Ye Ming still wanted to "struggle" a bit.
Unfortunately, Nai Nier showed no intention of stopping.
"Brother Ye! I have a small suggestion for you!"
Luoliya knew Ye Ming was unlikely to escape this ordeal.
"Quick... quick, tell me!"
This was a matter of life and death this time.
He should never have spoken so carelessly.
"Remember, cover your face later!" Luoliya pursed her lips and smiled.
"What?"
...
Not long after Ye Ming left, Xiao Ain woke up.
When she opened her eyes groggily, she saw a gentle and kind face.
She was currently lying in Luoliya's arms.
Xiao Ain stared with her big eyes, blinking, seemingly curious about the sister in front of her.
Although she was unfamiliar with Luoliya, she didn't show the same resistance as when she saw Nai Nier.
Luoliya looked at the adorable and cute Xiao Ain, and felt her entire heart melt.
"Sister, you're so beautiful!"
Xiao Ain said in a clear voice.
If Nai Nier heard this, she would probably be so angry she'd spit blood.
Why was the difference so vast?
Luoliya's pretty face bloomed with joy upon hearing this, smiling so happily. "Ain, you're so good. You'll definitely be even more beautiful than me when you grow up!"
"Oh! What's your name, sister? Ain doesn't know yet!"
Xiao Ain's small face actually turned red upon being praised.
"Ain can call me Sister Luoliya." Luoliya picked her up and said gently, "Sister Luoliya will take you to eat something good!"
"Something good to eat?"
Hearing these three words, Xiao Ain's little eyes lit up.
But then she seemed to remember something and quickly shook her head. "No! I want to wait for Ah Ming to come back before eating together!"
"Sister Luoliya, where did Ah Ming go?"
Xiao Ain glanced around, but couldn't find Ye Ming.
She felt a little sad!
"Don't worry, Ain, your Brother Ah Ming will be back soon!" Luoliya quickly comforted her.
She knew that at this moment, the person Xiao Ain trusted the most was no longer herself.
But Ye Ming!
Then, Luoliya comforted Xiao Ain while telling her some interesting stories, which finally improved Xiao Ain's mood.
Half an hour later.
Ye Ming finally returned.
However, he was limping.
Nai Nier, walking behind him, was in stark contrast to Ye Ming's current appearance.
Her face was full of a victor's smile.
"Damn! That woman really hit hard!"
Ye Ming was full of suppressed frustration.
For some reason, he had capitulated. Not only that, but when Nai Nier "disciplined" him, she had specifically warned him not to resist with his strength.
Otherwise, he truly wouldn't dare to return to Minghai City.
Fortunately, Luoliya's suggestion earlier had saved his handsome face.
Otherwise, he would truly have no face to see anyone.
As soon as Ye Ming appeared, Xiao Ain noticed him immediately.
But when she saw Ye Ming's miserable state, she was heartbroken. She quickly jumped from Luoliya's arms and ran to Ye Ming. "Ah Ming! What happened to you?"
Seeing Xiao Ain's anxious and worried little face, Ye Ming instantly felt no more pain.
"Ain, don't worry, your brother just fell accidentally. It's nothing!"
He rubbed her little head and smiled lightly.
"Then... then sit down and rest quickly!"
Xiao Ain, like a little adult, helped Ye Ming sit down next to Luoliya.
And so, the pitiable Nai Nier was once again left in the cold.
"I... damn it!"
Seeing Ye Ming, Luoliya, and Xiao Ain sitting together, it was like a picture of a happy family.
Nai Nier couldn't bear it any longer and simply turned around and left.
"I shouldn't have come back!"
...
After Luoliya took Xiao Ain to taste all sorts of delicacies and bought her various clothes and toys, Xiao Ain was completely satisfied.
Her affection for Luoliya also skyrocketed.
Returning to the Tianming Divine Palace, Xiao Ain looked at the pile of toys taller than herself and became completely immersed in them.
Meanwhile, Ye Ming began to tell Luoliya the reason for his return to the Tianming Divine Hall.
Due to the incident at the Kyoto auction, Ying Qianshi's manpower was clearly insufficient. Therefore, he needed to transfer some people from the Tianming Divine Hall.
"Brother Ye, from a long-term strategic perspective, the chaos in Kyoto does not affect our plan at all. On the contrary, it will even play a role in advancing it." After listening to Ye Ming's situation, Luoliya analyzed rationally. "There's no need for us to interfere!"
After all, Ye Ming's current goal was to reveal the existence of ancient martial artists to the public. And to let people witness the magical abilities of ancient martial artists.
The chaos in Kyoto would definitely attract more attention. At that time, the scenes people would witness would be genuine battles between ancient martial artists.
Not some petty squabbles.
This way, the image of ancient martial artists would be deeply imprinted in people's minds.
Ye Ming's objective would also be achieved.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Luoliya, I understand what you're saying! But..." Ye Ming's eyes were firm. "If we truly turn a blind eye, will our original intention still be there?"
