228: Where's my little brother?!

In the evening, Qian Feng looked towards the figure not far away. Only a familiar back remained for him, with flowing water-blue hair and a simple blue dress, not overly elaborate.

She was wearing low-heeled shoes, holding a bowl of water in her hand, and dipped her finger in a little, sprinkling it onto the vibrant green vegetable leaves, adding a touch more vitality.

After three years apart, Water Binger's mature womanly aura had become even more apparent. Her every gesture and movement possessed the charm of her age.

Her voice was gentle and pleasant, slightly tinged with feigned anger. Without turning her head, she spoke, "Hmph, how long did I tell you to be home? Messing around outside again, right!"

"Oh, Mommy~~" Qian Yi responded with a spoiled tone at this moment, hugging Water Binger's leg and rubbing against it hard, causing a wave of helplessness in Water Binger's heart.

Qian Si Gui stood to the side, stood on tiptoe to take the water bowl, and helped with the watering, "Mommy, let me do it~"

Looking at his skilled movements, it was clear he hadn't helped just a little.

Water Binger turned around, patted Qian Yi who was hugging her leg. Her eyes were full of love, her face free of any makeup, her naturally moving appearance, every frown and smile still that of the gentle and generous young girl.

It was just that after giving birth to children, that girlish aura had gradually been hidden beneath a mature charm.

She patted Qian Yi, still not noticing the young man standing not far away. She looked down at the little girl with annoyance and said, "Carrying so much fruit? Looks like I gave you too much allowance."

"Look at your chubby little face, still eating all day!"

Water Binger pretended to be angry, elegantly squatted down and hugged Qian Yi. Then, she pulled out some fruit from her bag, held it in her hand, opened her cherry lips and took a bite, looking at the other with a half-smile:

"Hmph, not bringing Mommy roasted goose this time?"

"Uh, no, just getting rid of the greasiness today~" Qian Yi scratched her head, chuckling. The mother and daughter hugged and talked under the setting sun, while Qian Si Gui on the other side patiently wet the vegetable leaves, his movements somewhat resembling Qian Feng's past self.

Standing not far away, Qian Feng didn't dare to move, his mind rapidly searching for words.

After three years apart, even with Water Binger, who had already had children with him, he was still very nervous. He just stood there dumbfounded, like a statue. The bag happened to cover his face, and his Soul Master power had long returned to its original simplicity, so Water Binger's attention was entirely on the children.

"You can eat more fruit, but not roasted goose." Water Binger sighed, pinched the baby fat with her hand, and said helplessly, "You're already a little beauty of three years old, how is this baby fat still getting worse?"

"Hmph, this is called cuteness!" Qian Yi rubbed her face against Water Binger's cheek and said with a giggle, "With Mommy's foundation as a beauty, even if her own daughter eats a lot of snacks, she'll still be beautiful!"

"Sigh, you, why do you have the same mouth as your old man? So glib." Water Binger sighed, and a hint of longing reappeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, Qian Yi immediately reacted, quickly hugged her mother's neck, rubbed against her, and said, "Daddy will come back, we just need to wait a little longer."

Water Binger's eyes welled up with tears. Even though three years had passed, as soon as she thought of Qian Feng, she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.

Especially thinking that he was the only one fighting in the entire Divine Realm, a piercing pain would surge through her body, and Water Binger's body trembled slightly.

Qian Yi quickly patted Water Binger's back with her small hand, "Good Mommy~ Don't cry~"

"Mm~" Water Binger hugged Qian Yi tightly, closed her eyes, and the heartache slowly subsided.

Even though she was already a Limit Douluo, she had developed this hidden illness of heartache due to sadness.

After Qian Si Gui on the other side finished sprinkling a bowl of water, he came to Water Binger's side and said with a firm tone, "Mommy, I will definitely cultivate well, and then enter the Divine Realm to find Father! Now that I've entered a state of enlightenment, I can increase my combat power even more."

"Today I sparred with Brother Du Gu Feng and still won!"

Water Binger turned her head, stroked Qian Si Gui's head, and looked at his face, which resembled Qian Feng's, with a gentle smile, "Cultivate well~ When you are older, Mommy will go with you to find the entrance to the Divine Realm."

"Mm-hmm! Mommy, we're going to the Wu Hun Academy to study next month. Grandma has already made the arrangements." Qian Yi nodded, looking at Water Binger with some reluctance, "When we're not home, will Mommy be lonely alone in this little mountain?"

"No~ Mommy will also go to the Academy to see you." Water Binger tilted her head and smiled, her long hair spread over her shoulders, the glow of the setting sun falling on her face, a delicate countenance without a single flaw.

Only her eyes were slightly red, making her look adorable.

"Okay~ Anyway, we can leave the Academy on Saturdays and Sundays. We'll come back to see Mommy then. It seems to be only an hour's journey anyway." Qian Yi chuckled, took out some fruit from her pocket again, and fed it to Water Binger, saying:

"Grandma said that my brother and I have incredibly high talent, and our future achievements will be immeasurable!"

"Mm, if you're going to the Academy next month. Then let's go see your grandma these few days. There doesn't seem to be much going on in the Spirit Hall right now, so she should be free." Water Binger smiled slightly, then stood up, stroked the heads of the two little ones, and walked towards the wooden house, not forgetting to say:

"Serve yourselves as much rice as you want to eat, don't waste it."

"Yes!" Qian Yi and Qian Si Gui said in unison.

Watching the busy mother and two children, Qian Feng stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.

"Did they forget someone?"

Actually, it wasn't that Water Binger hadn't noticed such a large living person, but rather that Qian Feng's Soul Master power realm seemed to have long been restrained, and powerful Soul Masters like Water Binger often rely on their Soul Master power perception to sense everything.

Qian Feng stood dumbfounded in place, holding a large bag of snacks, not in a hurry to see Bing'er.

He was truly thinking hard about how to respond to her. His appearance had also completely returned to its previous state. He stood alone, muttering:

"Bing'er, long time no see. I missed you."

No, that's too cliché!

"Bing'er, you've worked hard these past three years, raising the two children. It must have been tiring."

That won't quite work either. Would it accidentally hurt the little ones' feelings, making them think they're a burden or something?

As he thought and thought, half an hour passed without him noticing.

The lights in the wooden house gradually came on. Dusk fell, and the crescent moon rose.

The stars were numerous tonight, illuminating everything in the mountains.

"Oh no! Where are my snacks?!" Inside the wooden house, a sudden anxious voice was heard, quickly saying, "Mommy, it's over! My Xiao Di is still outside holding the snacks! We forgot about him."

"It's over, it's over, the snacks are all eaten."

"What snacks? What Xiao Di?" Water Binger asked in surprise, then watched Qian Yi stand up and quickly run towards outside the house.

She also quickly got up and followed behind the little girl.
