Chapter 1430 Talking with Family
After visiting Shen He and seeing that his daughter Xi was sleeping peacefully, Shao Yun got up and turned to find his own little Tianli—Paimeng.
Although I knew before that Paimon was a fragment split from Fanes, and that his relationship with the Great Tree King and the Little Lucky Grass King was quite similar, he was a genuine Little Heavenly Principle.
But in Shao Yun's eyes, Paimon was never some lofty, unattainable figure; he was still that mischievous, gluttonous, and affectionate little guy, a member of his family.
Shao Yun quickly found Paimon: she was floating in mid-air, her small body hovering half a foot above the ground, her gaze fixed on the little dragon potato pancake on the ground.
The adorable little dragon potato pancake was sitting obediently beside the spread-out bedding, its round body swaying back and forth, its little paws occasionally patting its bulging belly with soft "thump thump" sounds, having a great time, and not even noticing Shao Yun approaching.
Shao Yun walked quietly to the side of the little man and the little dragon, and greeted them, "Paimon, it's so late, are you still playing with Potato Pancake? Get some rest, we still have a long way to go."
When Paimon heard Shao Yun's voice, he turned around. His face showed no awkwardness, and he naturally placed his small hand on his chest and slowly began to speak his true feelings.
"I wasn't playing around, I was just thinking about my identity."
She paused, her tone still carrying a hint of dazedness.
"When I learned that I was the Little Heavenly Principle created by Fanes, a fragment of it, I was really shocked. I never thought that I would have such a powerful identity. It turns out that I am not an ordinary guide."
“But I don’t know why,” Paimon scratched his head, a bewildered yet relieved smile on his face.
"When you interrupted me like that, teasing me and joking with me, now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like such a big deal."
At this point, Paimon gently put her hands behind her back, swayed slightly, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. Her eyes curved into two small crescent moons as she asked Shao Yun in a coquettish tone:
"Anyway, no matter what, even if I turn into our little dragon potato pancake, round and chubby, and cute and silly, you will still love me and take care of me just like before, and you won't dislike me, right!"
Seeing Paimon's calm and unpretentious demeanor, Shao Yun couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her chubby little face, rubbing it lightly with his fingertips, and said affectionately:
“That’s right. In my eyes, you’re no different from any other little girl. I’ve raised you for five years, you’ve never lacked food or drink, and I’ve never treated you badly. Your treatment is no different from that of my daughter.”
As he spoke, the doting look in his eyes gradually turned into a mischievous grin, and a smug smile appeared on his face. He hadn't forgotten his desire for Paimon to call him "Dad," and deliberately dragged out his words:
"So, now that we're treated the same, shouldn't you call me 'Dad'?"
Upon hearing this, Paimon instantly bristled, her face darkening, her brows furrowing tightly. She slapped Shao Yun's hand away and huffed, "I can't breathe!"
"Hey! Can't you be serious for once? You were talking nicely just now, and now you're taking advantage of me again! I'm not calling you dad!"
Seeing Paimon's indignant expression, Shao Yun couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost fell over. He waved his hand and said:
"Haha, that's more like it! I love how you look when you're all flustered! Okay, I'll stop teasing you. From now on, take good care of your little sister Xi, okay?"
Paimon was so angry with Shao Yun that he was talking incoherently, stomping his little feet (even though he was floating in the air) while loudly refuting her.
"That's not right at all! No, no... I'll definitely take care of the baby! You don't need to tell me that!"
Seeing her incoherent state, Shao Yun stopped teasing her, gently gestured with his lips to indicate that she should look at the bedding prepared for her, and said:
"That's enough. Get some rest with Potato Pancake. We still have a long way to go tomorrow, so we can't afford to be out of shape."
Paimon looked at his bedding in the direction Shao Yun indicated, then looked down at Potato Pancake, who was still patting its belly, and stubbornly snorted, "I know, I know! You don't need to remind me! I'll go rest right away!"
As she spoke, she floated over to Potato Pancake's side, gently tugged at its little paw, and took it to rest together, though its ears were still slightly red.
……
After calming Paimon and Potato Pancake down, Shao Yun walked over to Kong's side.
At this moment, Kong was sitting on his bedding, deep in thought, just like Ying, unaware that Shao Yun was approaching.
They really are siblings...
It wasn't until Shao Yun stopped and coughed softly that Kong came back to his senses. He turned around, saw it was him, and a relieved smile appeared on his face as he reminisced about his past.
“I never imagined that five hundred years ago, I fled Teyvat with my sister Ying; five hundred years later, my brother-in-law, you are leading our whole family on the road to flee Teyvat again.”
He shook his head gently, a sense of melancholy rising in his heart, and said with a touch of fatalism, "Speaking of which, it's all like a cycle, going around in circles, only to return to the starting point, isn't it?"
Shao Yun stood before Kong, looking at his wistful expression, and without answering, instead asked, looking towards the future:
"Brother-in-law, now that we're leaving Teyvat for another unknown planet, what are your plans? Or rather, what do you want to do there? Do you have any ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Kong simply handed over all decision-making power to Shao Yun.
"What plans could I possibly have? I'll just listen to you, brother-in-law. You're the pillar of this family, so you're in charge. As long as our whole family can stay together peacefully, I'm willing to do anything, anything at all."
He paused, recalling the days he spent with Ying, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Anyway, a long time ago, when my younger sister and I traveled around, we didn't know what we were going to do. As long as we were together, we weren't afraid of anything. It's the same now. With you guys here, that's enough."
Seeing that Kong didn't have any concrete ideas, Shao Yun shared the idea that she and Ying had discussed earlier.
"Since you don't have any ideas, let me tell you mine. If we can't open a ranch over there, I'm thinking of opening a restaurant. It's simple, stable, and can support a large family. What do you think?"
Upon hearing the words "open a restaurant," Kong's eyes lit up slightly. He then subconsciously turned his head and looked at Yuan Shang not far away, muttering in a low voice:
"A restaurant? Then there needs to be a head chef in the kitchen... How about letting Yuan be the head chef?"
In his opinion, Yuan learns things quickly and might be able to handle the job.
Following Kong's gaze, Shao Yun looked at Yuan Shang and said in agreement, "Perhaps. Yuan Shang has a strong learning ability. As long as he studies hard, he should be able to take on the role of head chef very quickly."
After saying that, he turned to look at Kong and asked, "What do you plan to do then? You can't just sit around doing nothing, can you?"
Kong scratched his head, a sheepish smile on his face, and casually gave an answer.
"Me? How about being a waiter? I should be able to handle serving dishes and taking orders; it's not complicated. I just want to contribute to this family and live a peaceful life."
Seeing that Kong Xiang wanted to be a waiter at the restaurant, Shao Yun casually joked, "Alright, if you really open a restaurant, brother-in-law, you'll be very busy."
"When there are many customers, serving dishes and taking orders, you probably won't even have time to rest."
Kong laughed heartily and said in a very open-minded way, "Being busy is good, being busy makes things lively! I feel like I'm just a brick, I'll be moved wherever I'm needed. As long as I can help out and help my family live a good life, I'm happy no matter how busy I am."
After laughing, Kong's expression gradually became serious, and he said sincerely, "Brother-in-law, no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, no matter how dangerous the road ahead, I will always be behind you to support you and help you."
"Don't let your brother-in-law's lack of ability fool you. When it really matters, I'm quite capable and will definitely not hold you back."
Shao Yun looked at Kong's extremely serious expression and simply pointed to the bedding under him not far away.
"Okay, I believe you, my great brother-in-law. It's getting late, let's get some rest and recharge. We still have a long way to go, we can't afford to fall behind."
Kong nodded with a smile at Shao Yun and lay down on his bedding.
"Okay, brother-in-law! You should go and get some rest too, we'll need you to guide us tomorrow!"
