Chapter 166 - So her face can show emotions...

As evening fell, within the courtyard of the estate...

The petite and adorable Luo Hongye sat in the courtyard, her tiny hands cradling a celestial pearl. Her large, innocent eyes, filled with both curiosity and a hint of fear, gazed up at the Night Sky Gods who had completely surrounded her.

Upon returning home, Luo Ruying immediately said she wanted to speak with Ning Yechen alone. She led him to the bedroom, entrusting their daughter to Yue Qingyou's care for the time being.

Yue Qingyou was, of course, more than happy to comply.

With no need to hide her identity any longer, the Night Sky Gods, Mad Prisoner, Chi Huan, and the others had gathered in the courtyard, all expressing their desire to get a closer look at their Demon Realm's Little Princess.

Seeing the Night Sky Gods' almost pleading, expectant gazes, Yue Qingyou allowed them to stay and keep Luo Hongye company.

Thus, with Yue Qingyou's permission, the Night Sky Gods formed a circle around Luo Hongye, scrutinizing her...

Looking at the petite and exquisite Luo Hongye, who resembled a porcelain doll, Chi Huan couldn't help but wear a dazed smile. She eagerly extended her hands toward the child.

"Hehehe~ Cute Little Princess~"

"Won't you let Aunt Chi Huan hold you~?"

Luo Hongye immediately scooted backward, a flicker of fear in her eyes.

Chi Huan's expression froze, her hands hanging motionless in the air, her heart struck by a sudden blow.

*The Little Princess is afraid of me...?*

*But I've been so friendly...*

"Chi Huan, you've scared the Little Princess!" Night Sky God scolded her, then stepped forward and, with a flourish like a magician, produced a fragrant roasted sausage from seemingly nowhere and offered it to Luo Hongye.

Luo Hongye's big eyes lit up at the sight of the sausage. She eagerly took it with both hands and immediately took a bite, her small face breaking into a radiant smile.

Night Sky God's clever move drew gasps of admiration from the assembled crowd.

*As expected of someone the Left Protector praises so often!*

*He was prepared all along!*

*He always carries the Little Princess's favorite snacks!*

*He's instantly won her over!*

Seeing this, the others were determined not to be outdone. They immediately launched their own campaigns to win the Little Princess's favor.

Mad Prisoner pulled a handful of candies from his palm and offered them to Luo Hongye, his rugged, stern face softening into a guileless, ingratiating smile.

"Little Princess, do you still remember me?"

"Yes~"

"The uncle who gave Nighty toys and candy."

Luo Hongye thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly brightened. She pointed at Mad Prisoner and said in her soft, sweet voice, "Mad Prisoner!"

"Hahaha! The Little Princess remembers me, Mad Prisoner!"

When Mad Prisoner heard that Luo Hongye still remembered him, he was ecstatic and immediately began boasting to everyone around him.

*Not only was I called "uncle," but the Little Princess actually remembers me! This is such an honor!*

The surrounding crowd was so envious their hearts twisted into knots.

Chi Huan wanted to slice off Mad Prisoner's smug, boastful face!

*This is infuriating!*

Rakshasa couldn't help but push forward and point at himself, asking, "What about me? What about me, Little Princess? Do you remember me?"

"Hmm..."

Luo Hongye tilted her little head, furrowed her brow, and stared intently at Rakshasa, thinking hard.

Seeing that Luo Hongye couldn't recall him, Rakshasa felt a pang of disappointment. He snapped his Demon Halberd in two and mimed the motion of pounding beef.

"Ah~!"

"The meat vendor uncle!"

When Luo Hongye saw this, her little brain finally clicked.

"Yay~!"

Rakshasa leaped hundreds of meters into the air in excitement.

*The Little Princess remembers me too!*

The others couldn't resist joining in, starting a game of "Guess Who" with Luo Hongye.

They mimicked the actions they used in their disguised identities, seeing if the Little Princess could recognize them...

"The sister who breathes fire~!"

"The sister with long hair!"

"Hmm... Nighty can't remember..."

Those recognized beamed with delight, while those overlooked slipped dejectedly to the back of the crowd. Then came the next...

By the end, even You Lian, who had never disguised herself and had always remained hidden in the shadows, stepped forward to try and get Luo Hongye to recognize her.

You Lian's perpetually cold expression and aloof demeanor, which kept others at a distance, left no room for emotional expression or identity disguise. She was confined to remaining hidden in the shadows, yet she secretly longed for Luo Hongye to acknowledge her...

However, even those Luo Hongye had met before didn't always remember her, let alone someone like You Lian, whom she had never seen before.

Luo Hongye gazed at You Lian and slowly shook her head.

Seeing this, You Lian said nothing. She silently turned and retreated to the back of the crowd, finding a corner to sit down and curl her knees to her chest.

For the first time, a hint of dejection could be seen on her usually expressionless face.

The Night Sky Gods were all astonished.

Chi Huan: "That You Lian girl looks really down..."

Mad Prisoner: "I can see that..."

Rakshasa: "So her face can actually show emotions...?"

Night Sky God: "This is the first time I've seen it too..."

Luo Hongye thought her failure to recognize You Lian had hurt her feelings. Feeling guilty, she slowly got up and walked over to You Lian.

"Sister, are you unhappy?"

"If you tell me your name, I'll remember it next time!"

*Sister...?!*

The Little Princess just called her *sister*!

You Lian's face remained expressionless, but her eyes clearly brightened, her joy almost impossible to conceal...

"You Lian..."

Night Sky Gods: "...(⊙ˍ⊙)"

To see the usually stoic You Lian display emotion on her face twice in one day was a once-in-a-millennium event...

Chi Huan: "That You Lian seems quite happy..."

Mad Prisoner: "I can see that..."

Rakshasa: "So her face can actually show emotions...?"

Night Sky God: "This is the first time I've seen it too... Wait! You guys already said that exact same thing!"

Yan Lili: "The Little Princess is so adorable and kind~"

"I just want to pat her little head~!! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Rakshasa: "I'd advise you to calm down."

Seeing that even You Lian had been called "sister" by Luo Hongye, Chi Huan could no longer sit still. She immediately squeezed forward again, gazing at Luo Hongye with an expectant expression.

"Little Princess, could you call me 'Aunt Chi Huan'~?"

"Aunt Chi Huan~"

Luo Hongye immediately called out with a sweet smile, without even thinking.

Hearing the title "Aunt," Chi Huan's heart bloomed with joy. The same doting smile spread across her face, and she almost couldn't resist pulling Luo Hongye into her arms for a good cuddle!

But after calming down, Chi Huan suddenly felt she'd been shortchanged...

You Lian got to be called "sister," while she was stuck with "aunt"...

Even though she was about the same age as You Lian...

If she'd known earlier, she would have made the Little Princess call her "sister" too...!

Yue Qingyou stood to the side, silently watching the Night Sky Gods try their best to please Luo Hongye. A faint smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

*As expected of my Demon Realm's Little Princess—so utterly lovable~*
