Chapter 25: Bully or Angel
"Who…who does such a thing?"Pan Delan screeched after snapping out of her daze. She stared at Luo Huian as if the latter had gone crazy and questioned, "My father is sick, he is in pain! Who hits a sick person?"
"Don't be so agitated, little girl," Luo Huian flashed a million-dollar smile at Pan Delan before saying, "There are some people who do not learn unless they are slapped, punched and kicked. Unfortunately, your daddy comes in that category."
Luo Huian also did not want to slap Xu Suisui but she had no choice. If her skills were unlocked, she just needed to flick his forehead and the Aura of Gloom around his heart would be destroyed. But her power and cultivation were sealed off, and now Luo Huian had limited spiritual energy, for it to reach Xu Suisui's heart, she needed a stronger impact.
So she could only slap him.
"There was another option," Xiao Hei stated with a hissing voice. Luo Huian could have held the hand of the mer and let the spiritual energy be absorbed slowly. But she just had to choose the violent one!
"That's too slow. I cannot sit still for that long," Luo Huian remarked causing Xiao Hei to fume through his nostrils. This woman! She was a cultivator! For a cultivator what was the most important skill? It was patience and she was telling him that she did not choose the other option because it was too slow and she did not have the patience to sit still for that long.
"Ah my neck is going to get a cramp," Xiao Hei groaned in pain. He really did not understand how Luo Huian's mind worked sometimes.
Xiao Bai was afraid that he would end up using his spiritual essence in his anger and comforted him softly, "Calm down, calm down. You know how she is, there is no need for you to get angry."
However, it only made Xiao Hei even more angry.
Luo Huian was clearly sent to this world because her grandmother wanted Luo Huian to learn how to control her temper. If she acted like this, how would she learn to control her temper?
Xiao Hei was feeling another cramp in his neck when he thought about it.
Luo Huian did not care about the small tantrum thrown by her father's familiar. That was because Pan Delan was now biting her trousers and glaring at her harshly.
"You bully! And here I was going to protect you——"
"Delan?" Xu Suisui who was lying on the bed heard the voice of his daughter and opened his eyes in a hurry. What was going on? Why did he hear the voice of his daughter? Shouldn't he be dead?
Pan Delan stiffened upon hearing the voice of her father. She glanced at her father who was staring at her with a confusing expression and then turned to look at Luo Huian, who arched a brow.
"A bully huh?"
"No..No.. sister is an angel! You are the sweetest angel!" Pan Delan immediately backpedaled. As she was worried that Luo Huian would not let this matter drop, she turned to look at her father and softly called him, "Daddy, why did you leave Delan? Do you know how worried Lan Lan was, I had to look all over the city for you with sister."
As Pan Delan started airing her grievances, her eyes turned red and she couldn't help but cry.
"Don't cry! Don't cry! Daddy is a bad person, he left you behind!" Now that Luo Huian had cleared up the Aura of Gloom in his heart, Xu Suisui was much more clear-headed.
He couldn't believe that he did something so foolish as leaving his daughter behind in this world. If he died, with how selfish and foolish Pan Xinyi had become because of that mer, she would have left his daughter to die.
And that mer, Du Mumu! He was such a scheming bastard, would he leave his daughter alone?
Xu Suisui hugged his daughter and kissed her all over her face. He was really such a fool, how could he leave his daughter behind? He was the one who brought her into this world and she was his responsibility. How could he be so selfish?
"Don't cry, your daddy's heart hurts seeing you cry like this… if you cry then I will also start crying," stated Xu Suisui. Pan Delan heard his words and sobbed for a while before stopping. She said to Xu Suisui, "You are not allowed to leave me."
Even though she was a child, she understood a few things. Pan Delan knew that if Luo Huian had not helped her today then her daddy wouldn't have come back.
"I won't," Xu Suisui promised. He looked at Pan Delan a few more times and noticed that she was uninjured, seeing this he heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Luo Huian. However, his face stiffened when he saw who it was.
"Miss Luo…?"
"Change that gaze right now, Mister. I am your saviour, so I deserve more respect," Luo Huian interrupted the mer when she saw the look on his face. Anyone was allowed to look at her with that contempt and wary gaze but not him as she rescued him.
Xu Suisui was startled upon hearing those words, he turned to look at his daughter who nodded. She stated, "It was indeed sister who saved you, Daddy."
When Xu Suisui heard the confirmation, he was even more surprised. Luo Huian saved him?
Though he was a bit confused, he nodded and turned to look at Luo Huian. He said, "Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget this favour." After he finished speaking he turned to look at Pan Delan and said, "Lan Lan, go and bring some juice and snacks for our guest."
"Okay"! Pan Delan nodded as she slid down the bed and turned to walk out of the bedroom. Once she was gone, Xu Suisui turned to look at Luo Huian and remarked, "You seem like you have something to say to me."
