"Either way, it seems I survived thanks to you. Thank you for helping me."
Because he had gone to call for help, Qiong Xing had gotten away with only a brief collapse.
If he had been left there alone, he might have ended up bedridden for days.
In the worst case, he might even have died.
There were many things to think about later, but for now, Qiong Xing simply thanked his savior and wrapped his arms around the small body that had thrown itself at him.
"By the way, Lingxiao can take human form now. Have you two seen him yet?"
"Yeah. He was tiny and adorable."
"For someone his age, that's more than impressive."
Receiving praise from the two of them seemed to make Lingxiao happy as well.
With a small pop, Lingxiao transformed once more and tried to throw himself into Qiong Xing's arms.
"NO!"
The child who is still sitting on Qiong Xing's lap immediately pushed him away.
Lingxiao burst into tears.
"Hey now. We talked about this, didn't we?"
