Chapter 298: Absolute Confidence
Jiaojiao"s eyes landed on Xiaomao and Xiaohua. Both of them were clearly not humans, in fact, they were even less human than she was.
Even so, she had long since noticed the affection and faint pampering in Bai Rouyun"s eyes whenever she looked at the two creatures by the side, and it was clear that she did not consider them as her servants or subordinates, but truly as part of her family.
Such an ability to not care about the race or gender when considering the importance of another being made Jiaojiao feel her eyes tearing up.
She had actually never expected to meet anyone like Bai Rouyun, but now that this angel-like woman was in front of her, she felt that she had to catch the opportunity.
"Please bring me along!"
Although Jiaojiaow was timid and worried about what the world outside might bring, she was willing to take a risk. She was not very old, but the gruesome world had already made it so that she could not remain an ignorant and innocent child forever.
"Of course." Bai Rouyun reached out her hand again and rubbed her head. "As long as you are willing, you can stay with us for the rest of your life."
Bai Rouyun knew how horrible the feeling of being abandoned was. This little girl was clearly traumatised by the previous experiences, and she did not dare to believe in the tenderness that others gave her.
Even so, it was obvious she was longing for care and affection. She had been hostile and worried for a long time, before she lowered the walls around her heart, but now that she had, Bai Rouyun would be responsible to the end.
Xiao Mao looked at Jiaojiao with a trace of envy in his eyes. Although he was not malicious, he still seemed to long for Jiaojiao"s luck of not having to get a horrible nickname by Bai Rouyun.
It was not that Xiaomao truly cared about his name, but he had heard all the names that Bai Rouyun had given her so-called children so far.
Xiao Bao would be translated into Little Treasure, and he happened to be the spirit of a priceless treasure. Xiao Jin was Little Gold, and her real body was a golden alchemist cauldron.
Xiao Hua was a flower, and her name was directly translated as Little Flower, while he, a majestic Cloud Leopard was named Xiao Mao, which meant Little Cat, however, it could even be translated as kitten, and he felt somewhat depressed as if the name was taking a bit of the majesty away from his domineering and outstanding demeanor.
Even Xiao Long was named according to Bai Rouyun"s bad naming sense, and could be translated as Little Dragon, so Jiaojiao"s ability to have a decent name was something worthy of the others" envy.
Jiaojiao"s name was the same character repeated twice, and it meant loveable or adorable. Repeating it twice put even more emphasis on this point, so it showed that this little dragon girl was extremely adorable and cute.
Looking at the little girl, as she wore the blue dress and the hair ornaments, Xiao Mao could not help but nod his head in approval. Jiaojiao"s name was truly suitable for this little girl as she was simply too adorable.
However, her being adorable and him wanting to get rid of his embarra.s.sing name were two separate things. Even so, Xiao Mao was perfectly well aware that there was no chance to change his name, so he could only begrudgingly accept it.
Although their group had arrived at the Wushi Continent and had been separated from Yun Mingchen, Bai Rouyun was not in a hurry to find him again.
It was not that she overestimated her own abilities and a.s.sumed that she could travel unhindered in this dangerous realm, but she felt at peace and relaxed.
There was no doubt that Yun Mingshen would do his utmost to locate her, and it was highly likely that Li Moyun would also be included in the search, as her cousin knew of her husband"s ident.i.ty.
Even if Yun Mingshen felt that Li Moyun resembled a big bad wolf that had kidnapped his family"s treasure before it could gain the care and pampering it deserved, there was no doubt that Li Moyun would be a great a.s.sistance in the search for Bai Rouyun.
Also, Bai Rouyun had clearly fully acknowledged this man as her husband, so Yun Mingshen felt that he was in no position to interfere. Not to mention, any man was unworthy of his dear cousin, so if she had to pick one, it was good that the man was as impressive as Li Moyun.
So, although Bai Rouyun was alone in a foreign place, her panic was nonexistent. Her husband and cousin would definitely find her at some point, and it was likely that even if it took time for them to locate her personally, their forces in the Wushi Continent would find her and ensure her safety.
It was not that Bai Rouyun was being boastful, but although Li Moyun had come from a lower realm, his aura was that of an Emperor, and no matter where he arrived, he would manage to carve out his own place and grow his power. Those who looked down upon him would end up suffering immensely.
At the same time, her cute cousin was originally from the Wushi Continent, so he had forces he could command upon his return. Even if he had lost his entire family, and he had been gone for many years, his ident.i.ty was not a secret, and the forces he had created during his childhood and youth were also significant.
