Before Hou Qingyu could say a word of apology to Shui Qiannan, he had already left. He forced a smile. He initially wanted to make the beauty happy, but he didn't expect to anger her.

The man accepted the bluestone greedily as he smiled obsequiously, "Many thanks to your highness, your highness. Your highness really has a heart of a Bodhisattva."

"Your Highness." Hou Qingyu's five bodyguards rushed over. One of them asked, "Your Highness, why are you out alone?"

"Your Highness, a few days ago when you were returning to the capital to celebrate the birthday of the empress, you were stopped halfway by a few assassins." Your Highness, a few days ago when you returned to the capital to celebrate the birthday of the empress, you were intercepted and injured midway through. The guard said.

Hou Qingyu looked at his bodyguards. They might be bodyguards, but they were all masters of the five great families. As for what conditions the empress had promised them to follow him willingly and protect him, the Xia King had no idea.

"How did the Queen Mother know that I was injured? Didn't I tell you not to talk too much in front of the Empress?" Hou Qingyu said angrily.

"Your majesty, please calm your anger." The five guards said in unison.

"Forget it, forget it." Hou Qingyu waved his sleeve, telling the guards to stay away from him. Upon seeing this, the guards all retreated a few steps. Hou Qingyu glanced at them before strolling in front. He was thinking about the scene when Shui Qiannan started to teach that person a lesson.

Shui Qiannan looked indifferent, his eyes as cold as the crescent moon. She taught him a lesson without mercy. In the eyes of others, she was cruel and merciless, but in his eyes, it was a strange sight.

"Did I become a devil?" Hou Qingyu mumbled to himself. It was not that he did not know her identity. He had heard that many years ago, the one who was supposed to be engaged to his second brother was the direct daughter of the Shui family.

The imperial family despised her, and the Shui family no longer cared about her. And now that she had appeared with Little Right, confirming the rumors, she didn't care what others thought of her. He shouldn't have any feelings for such a woman, but he was tempted.

"Your Highness, when are you returning to Beijing?" A guard's question broke Hou Qingyu's train of thoughts.

"Tomorrow." Hou Qingyu said.

Hearing Hou Qingyu's words, the guards did not say anything else. The Xia King was good at everything, but the only bad thing was that his heart was too soft. That was why the empress ordered them to follow him, just in case.

Shui Qiannan brought Little Right along another path, holding the little Spirit Beast that he had just obtained in his right hand.

"You understand what it says?" Shui Qiannan asked as he looked at the small spirit beast. This spirit beast did not have any spirit energy at all. It couldn't be a low level spirit beast, could it? If it was a low level spirit beast, then he would have to find another high level spirit beast and give it to Xiao Ri.

"En, mother." Xiao Dai happily said as his hand continued to stroke the little Spirit Beast's body. The fur of the little Spirit Beast was so soft and comfortable.

Shui Qiannan watched his precious son eat the tofu of a little spirit beast as he thought to himself, "This isn't something I can teach, don't follow me!"

"Then ask what kind." Shui Qiannan said.

"Right, I can ask, are you a spirit deer, little guy?" Xiao Yu rubbed the beast's head as he asked. The little spirit beast raised its head and tilted its head to the right. It used its wet eyes to look at Little Rid. "What?"

"Ugh …" "Then what are you?" The little Spirit Beast tilted its head as if it was thinking. Then, it shook its head happily, "~ ~ ~ ~"

"Mother, it doesn't know what it is." Xiao Jin looked at Shui Qiannan helplessly. Shui Qiannan made a "En" sound, and she could roughly guess what was going on. This spirit beast probably wasn't here when it activated its Spiritual Sense.

"Mother, let's give it a name." Little Right said happily. Shui Qiannan looked at Xiao He and laughed happily, his heart softening.

All this time, the people Little Right saw were not kids like him, and because Little Right was extremely talented, none of the kids at Gong Ze's place were willing to play with Little Right.

A three year old child could think of nothing other than play. She always knew that Little Right was very lonely, maybe Little Right didn't know what those feelings were.

In the past, Little Right would always ask Shui Qiannan with a puzzled expression, why didn't they play with me? She would always console him by saying that those children were too weak, and didn't deserve to play with you. However, she could still feel Little Right's loss. After all, he was too young.

"Alright, in the future, this little guy will play with you." Shui Qiannan said with a gentle smile.

"What's that called? It's so small. Mother, let's call it the little guy." Little Jun's eyes flickered.

"Even you are a little kid, yet you still call me little guy." Shui Qiannan found it funny.

"~ ~ ~ ~" The little spirit beast was also unwilling to use this name as a protest.

Shui Qiannan glanced at the little Spirit Beast. The eyes of the little Spirit Beast were watery as it shook its head vigorously in rejection of the name. Shui Qiannan found this little spirit beast very interesting and began to like it more.

"What's that called?" Xiao Jin scratched his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a good name. Shui Qiannan looked at the little beast in confusion. He looked at the little beast and casually said, "Why don't you call it 'O'? It's calling out like that anyway."

"~ ~ ~ ~" The little Spirit Beast just shook its head and wanted to protest against this name. This name was unpleasant to hear, so it was better not to use this name.

Shui Qiannan swept his gaze over them coldly. The little Spirit Beast shivered and immediately nodded. "~ ~ ~" This name sounds really good. I'll call it that.

"He likes it, you see." Shui Qiannan said. The little Spirit Beast's face was filled with emotions. How could it not like him?

"Really, we'll call it that from now on." The little guy didn't notice the change at all and said happily. The little Spirit Beast was like a frosted eggplant as it laid in Xiao Yu's embrace.

Shui Qiannan knew that it was impossible for low level spirit beasts to be so humane. Only high level spirit beasts could be so humane, but why were the young of high level spirit beasts here? The mother should be around.

Little Rascal looked around the street with the little Spirit Beast in its arms. It didn't seem to be having any fun at all as it pulled Shui Qiannan along. He wanted to go back and play with his little friend. In his little heart, the little Spirit Beast was now his partner.
