"Little Sister, stop joking around. Grandpa is old. He cannot be scared. Take it away. I am going to use you to buy candy."
Sky King's heart was shaking, but he still smiled. He did not know how many years it had been since he had said something so nice.
"I see. Fine." Bao'er nodded. She held the flying fish and retreated.
Sky King was delighted. If the flying fish left him a certain distance away, or if the little girl turned around, he could escape the flying fish's lock. He could break space and escape.
Even if the flying fish caught up, it would be difficult for it to lock onto him. He could find a way to get rid of the flying fish then. It was not a good feeling to have his life threatened.
Seeing Bao'er hold the flying fish and turn around, Sky King became excited. Seeing the little girl turn around, Sky King gathered up all the power in his body. He was going to break space and escape.
His power was going to burst out of his body, but the little girl suddenly turned around. The flying fish was even closer to Sky King now.
Sky King felt so bad that he wanted to cough up blood. He suppressed the power that was going to burst out of his body. He made himself stay where he was. His face was red and swollen.
The little girl looked at Sky King with suspicion and asked, "Are you going to lie to me and wait for me to turn around and run away?"
Sky King had been through a lot, but now, he blushed. He did want to do something like that. He was Sky King, yet he had lied to a little girl and been exposed. He felt very conflicted about that.
"Why would I?
I … I am a man of my word. I always keep my word. "Sky King quickly tried to defend himself.
"Mister is the best at lying. How do I know you are not lying to me?" The little girl looked at Sky King with disbelief.
Sky King was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. The flying fish was staring at him. It had locked onto his lifeforce. If he showed any sign of weakness, it would unleash the scariest attack. Sky King did not want to take the risk.
If he didn't move, the Flying Fish wouldn't be able to do anything to him. However, if he moved and revealed even the slightest flaw, it was very likely that he would be injured or killed.
"Little grandaunt, I'm really not lying to you. Hurry up and take it away. I'll definitely give you a lot of money so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. You can buy a lot of beautiful clothes and a lot of jewelry."
It had been a long time since Sky King had been taken advantage of by a woman. Now, he wanted to worship the little girl.
The little girl looked at him for a while. She pointed at something on Sky King's body and said, "I do not know what money is. I do not know how to use it. How about this? I think that thing is pretty. Give it to me."
Sky King's clothes were in tatters. His chest was in tatters. They could not cover his body. One could see he was wearing a pendant that looked like a jade tablet.
The jade tablet was round and carved into a Tai Chi pattern. Half of it was black and the other half was white. It didn't look beautiful, but it had a simple and mysterious immortal charm.
Seeing the little girl want the jade tablet, Sky King's face changed.
That jade tablet was not something ordinary. He had spent a lot of effort to dig it up from a scary land pulse. It had the power to suppress the land pulse.
The reason he dared to venture into the earth's core alone was because he had this sacrificial tool with him. At a critical moment, it could play a role in saving his life.
That was not the most important thing. That jade tablet was a symbol of his identity as Sky King. Many of his trusted people and friends, as well as the nobles of the Qin Kingdom, recognized the jade tablet. When there was a secret, he only needed to ask his trusted people to use the jade tablet. When people saw the jade tablet, they would give him face.
That item represented his identity as Sky King. He couldn't just give it away.
"Little Girl, this thing is cheap," Sky King said with a smile. "It is not worth much. Why don't you pick something else?"
"Yes. My mother always taught me not to take things from strangers," the little girl seriously said. "Especially expensive things. If it is cheap, I will take it."
"Didn't your mother tell you not to take things from strangers?" Sky King could not help but mock her.
"Yes, but my father told me that if I did not take advantage of something, I would be an asshole," the little girl said with a laugh. "I have to listen to my mother and father. So, I have to listen to half each."
Sky King almost coughed up blood when he heard that. He cursed, "Who is this little girl's father? How dare he teach his daughter this? D * mn it."
"Old Grandpa, are you trying to trick me? Are you not going to give it to me?" The little girl looked at Sky King with suspicion.
Sky King gnashed his teeth. He smiled awkwardly and said, "No way. It is just a cheap little thing. If you like it, I can give it to you. You can …"
Before Sky King finished speaking, the little girl cheered. "Thank you, Old Grandpa. You are a good person."
After that, the little girl let go of the flying fish. She ran behind Sky King and jumped on his back. She took the Sky King's jade tablet off his neck.
Sky King's eyes twitched. He did not move. He allowed the little girl to take the jade tablet off his neck.
After the little girl took the jade tablet, she put it around her neck. She walked back to Sky King and played with the jade tablet. She asked, "Old Grandpa, do I look good wearing it?"
"Yes, you look good. Little Girl, you are so beautiful. You look good wearing anything." It had been a long time since Sky King had said something so nice to someone.
With his status, if he liked a woman, he could do it with a single word. He did not need to try to please her.
Seeing the little girl so happy, Sky King quickly said, "I gave you the thing. Take the flying fish away. Old Grandpa is scared of it."
"Okay, then." Just as the little girl was getting ready to carry the flying fish away, she saw someone come over.
When the little girl saw that person, she happily ran over. She jumped into that person's arms and shouted, "Daddy!"
Sky King's hope was crushed again.
His chest felt suffocated.
When he heard the little girl call him daddy, he looked at the person.
He thought, "I want to see who raised such a horrible child.
I am going to lock him up and find a few teachers to teach him manners 24/7.
If he fails, I am going to slap him in the face until he learns.
I am going to teach him how to be a good person.
I don't want him to be a bad child."
He looked at the person. Sky King's heart jumped. He saw that the person was a young man around 20 years old. He had never seen the man before, but he knew who he was.
He was a high level member of the Qin Kingdom. If he did not care about Steel Scene's death, he would have been a king with a different surname.
Sky King had seen Han Sen's video before. He had done some research on Han Sen.
After all, Han Sen and the crown prince were very close. If the crown prince took the throne, Han Sen would become the king's official. Sky King did not care about Han Sen, but he had to treat the future king seriously. That was someone who could affect the future of Sky King.
