Mingrui cried out, "A bird! Wait, I saw this bird before! It’s Daddy’s bird!"
Zhang Fengxi’s face darkened visibly*.
"Goddess, you seem to be lurking everywhere," the Supreme General remarked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
With a huff of derision, Caihong glided towards Xie Jianyu, alighting on his shoulder with a feather-light touch.

Xie Jianyu pressed a loving kiss against the little boy’s cheek and whispered soft words to him, hoping to placate him.
