One person established a clan

Chapter 441 Beautiful Scenery
After months of turmoil and change, the Eastern Morning Imperial City has been completely transformed.

Hundreds of immortal sects have moved in, and magnificent buildings are rising from the ground every day, which has unknowingly expanded the territory of the imperial city several times over.

People from all over the country also added a lot of exotic charm to the streets and alleys.

Even cultivators from powerful clans who set foot here and witnessed such a prosperous scene would find it hard to imagine that just a year ago, this place was still a remote little country.

Even with such rapid development and construction, and with Feng Sha in charge of governance, the city and its surrounding areas remained orderly without any chaos.

Walking along the bustling street, one is greeted by a dazzling array of goods.
"Brother~"

A delicate and clear laugh rang out, quickly attracting the attention of many passersby.

Upon seeing the innocent and adorable little girl, everyone's eyes filled with affection, marveling that such a pure and innocent girl existed in the world.

Holding several skewers of snacks, the young woman beamed with joy as she skipped back to Su Cheng's side. Her long white velvet dress danced lightly in the wind, making her appear even more lively and adorable.

"Brother, here you go~"

"So nice."

Su Cheng smiled and patted her little head, then took the meat skewer, took a bite, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really good! Our little auntie has such a keen nose!"

"Hehe." The young woman's smile became even sweeter, and with a quick glance, she handed two more strings of fruit to the aloof woman accompanying her.

"Big sister, you should try some too."

"Well, thank you."

General Hei carefully took it, and gently parted his lips to take a small bite. The fresh, fragrant, and slightly spicy flavor spread between his lips and teeth.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she murmured, "Is this the taste of human food?"

The young woman smiled sweetly: "If you like, there are plenty of other delicious foods on the street."

Seeing her so happy, General Hei couldn't help but smile.

"How does it feel?"

Su Cheng teased, "Don't you feel that this world is a little different from what you imagined?"

"Yes, it's very lively and bustling."

General Hei smiled and said, "I must thank Your Majesty for taking me out for a stroll."

"Don't mention it." Su Cheng chuckled. "You've come all this way with me to the Five Desolate Regions, how could I neglect you?"

As they chatted and laughed, he bent down and gently picked up the young woman with one hand.

"Ah!" The petite beauty exclaimed softly, her delicate face suddenly flushing a lovely blush. She said softly, "Brother, why all of a sudden?"

"We're going to have fun all day, so we can't let you get tired first thing in the morning."

Su Cheng smiled and gently tapped her nose. "Come on, brother will take you to find some good food."

The young woman blinked her bright eyes, then blushed and hummed in agreement.

Su Cheng's gaze shifted, and he quietly took the Black General's slender hand. "If there's anything you'd like to try, feel free to buy it and give it a go. Don't worry about the cost."

".Um."

The black general's eyes were gentle, and he felt an extraordinary warmth in his heart.

It turns out that the feeling of setting aside weapons and duties to go on a trip with His Majesty is so sweet and heartwarming.

But at this moment, at the corner of the long street, two figures were shrouded in a thin mist, making them impossible for passersby to see clearly.

"Well--"

Lu Hongxi lay in the corner, gazing wistfully at the retreating figures of the three people, and couldn't help but let out a low, bitter groan of resentment.

His expression was as if his beloved had been cruelly taken away, his eyes filled with envy and sorrow.

"You girl."

Bai Lingling sighed softly beside her, "If you care so much, why not just go and go out together?"

Lu Hongxi's fingers almost dug into the wall as she said softly, "I already told Xiao Cheng last night that I couldn't go out and disturb him again."

A white silk ribbon floated to her shoulder and smiled, saying, "You're getting better and better at controlling your emotions these days."

Lü Hongxi pouted: "It's not good at all."

"Since they're not planning to show themselves, let them enjoy their trip in peace—"

"No."

Lu Hongxi suddenly gritted her teeth again: "I'm still not at ease, I have to...follow along and keep an eye on things!"

After saying that, she vanished in a flash, disappearing silently into the crowd on the long street, always keeping a distance of about ten feet from Su Cheng and his group.

Bai Lingling found it both funny and exasperating, and could only follow silently to prevent any unexpected incidents.

But she knew in her heart that although this girl, Lu, was fierce after becoming a demon, she was very soft-hearted and would never want to make her younger brother suffer.

Now, secretly following him and saying he's envious, he might actually be worried about whether Xiao Su can have enough fun.

"These kids are really hypocritical."

Bai Lingling covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her gaze subtly sweeping around her surroundings.

Not only Hongxi, but several other divine senses were also secretly watching this place.
Lu Hongxi followed stealthily for a while, and just as she was about to peek out again, she suddenly saw a figure blocking her view.

"Eh?"

She looked up in a daze and saw Su Cheng standing in front of her with a helpless smile on his face.

"Sister Hongxi, here, would you like to try some?"

Looking at the fruit soup handed to her, Lü Hongxi blushed with embarrassment and whispered, "When did you find out about mine?"

"I felt it as soon as I stepped outside."

Su Cheng chuckled lightly: "I can't just let you hide in the corner and watch all the time. How about you have some fruit soup to quench your thirst?"

Lu Hongxi blushed as she took the wooden bowl: "I followed you because..."

"How could I not know what Sister Hongxi is thinking?"

Before she could finish speaking, Su Cheng raised his hand and stroked her cheek: "I was thinking you might have some trouble walking today, but seeing how energetic you are now, why don't we go out for a walk together?"

"No, that's not necessary."

Lu Hongxi's face turned even redder, and a hint of alluring charm appeared between her brows.

She slightly turned her head away and said in a low voice, "You should stay with them today. I just want to keep an eye on things so that no one disturbs you."

Su Cheng smiled gently, subtly lifted her chin, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

"I'll bring you anything you want to eat later."

After saying that, his figure had quietly disappeared.

Lu Hongxi stood there stunned, and soon her ears burned with embarrassment.

She took a sip of the fruit soup and found that the originally sweet soup now tasted rather bland and tasteless.

But deep down, it was very sweet.
"This kid."

Bai Lingling saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but smile gently.

It was rare that he noticed Hongxi following behind and took good care of her in every way.

"Looks like I was worrying for nothing, huh?"

Suddenly, she turned around in surprise and saw Su Cheng appear again, smiling as he lowered his head and kissed her.

"Woo?"

The sudden passionate kiss made Bai Lingling's delicate body stiffen.

When she came to her senses, Su Cheng had vanished without a trace, leaving only a small jade hairpin tucked diagonally into her hair.

Bai Lingling was a little dazed. After a moment, she gently stroked the jingling golden bell on her hairpin and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Little Su, with such superb escape techniques and movement skills, why is he using them all to fool us?"

She turned to look at the distance of the long street, and could vaguely see Su Cheng winking at her.

Bai Lingling found it amusing, but also felt a little touched.

Even the smallest, inconspicuous gestures reveal his care and thoughtfulness, which is truly heartwarming.

"I'll also prepare a return gift for Xiao Su later."

Bai Lingling clasped her slender hands together in front of her chest, a gentle, happy smile unconsciously appearing on her face. This sight caused Ming Tian, ​​who had just appeared, to pause, his expression suddenly turning strange.

Although he already knew that this 'old friend' had fallen in love and was deeply in love with Su Chengen.

But this is the first time I've seen the once arrogant and disdainful Dragon Ancestor reveal such a gentle and adorable expression.

This doesn't seem like a dragon ancestor who has lived for ten thousand years at all; it's more like a naive young girl experiencing love for the first time.

"Brother, is this pretty?"

"Brother, try this!"

"Brother, open your mouth!"

The young woman smiled sweetly, tiptoed, and gently offered the candy skewer to Su Cheng's lips.

After taking a bite, he blinked his bright eyes and asked, "Brother, is this delicious?"

"good."

Su Cheng pretended to taste it seriously and said, "It's sweet but not cloying, and has a pleasant fragrance."

At this point, he smiled again and gently pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks. "Just like my little aunt."

"what"

The little girl's face was flushed, and she huddled up, saying in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother teased me like this so many times along the way."

Su Cheng chuckled: "You've praised me too much?"

"Your brother knows too?"

The little girl cuddled up to her rather affectionately, and let out a rare soft moan: "I'm growing up now, not as clueless as before."

Su Cheng rubbed the top of her head: "You have indeed grown a lot."

The little girl in his arms paused for a moment, her eyes lowered, then she said softly, "It's all because of my brother and Sister Wen's meticulous care that I can be so safe and carefree now. And my brother treats me very well too, so I've always been..."

Just then, General Black came over carrying two plates of steaming hot snacks.

"I bought it, have a taste."

"Alright." Su Cheng chuckled lightly, "How does it feel to trade in the human world for the first time?"

General Hei's expression softened further: "Quite novel."

Her eyes flickered slightly as she looked down at the blushing aunt, a hint of confusion in her gaze.

"What happened to this girl? Her neck is all red."

"No, it's okay!"

The young woman shook her head, her face flushed, "I... let's hurry up and keep going. There seem to be lots of delicious and beautiful things ahead."

After saying that, she grabbed Su Cheng's hand and hurried forward, afraid that someone would notice something amiss.

Seeing her reaction, Su Cheng sighed inwardly.

Although this girl is still young, she is gradually maturing.
"elder brother."

The young woman suddenly stopped and stared intently ahead.

Su Cheng followed her gaze and saw a beautifully decorated fabric shop come into view.

"Girl, want to buy new clothes?"

"Hmm." The young woman looked serious and quickly walked into the fabric shop.

Su Cheng and General Hei exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed him inside.

It's rare for this girl to want something so much, so naturally he won't be stingy.

However, to his utter surprise, the young woman did not look for the brightly colored and beautiful fabrics and dresses after entering the cloth shop. Instead, she scanned the men's clothing section.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

"I want to buy some clothes for my brother."

The young woman spoke with unusual seriousness: "I can't always let my brother take care of me. I also want to give him something in return."

As she spoke, she took out a small purse from her waist and showed it her 'secret stash' of money that she had saved up over the past few months.

Su Cheng was dumbfounded.

"What is this silver you have?"

"It was given by Sister Wen and Sister Feng, who said it was spare change and salary."

The little girl glanced over furtively, her face slightly flushed. "I want to save it all up, just for my brother to spend."

Su Cheng: “.”

He was even more moved, and couldn't help but pick the young woman up in his arms, grinning as he said, "My sweet girl, how about I help you choose?"

".Um!"

Seeing the two of them so close together, General Hei followed behind and also quietly smiled faintly.

She wasn't very familiar with this petite girl, but in the short time they'd spent together, she could tell that the child was pure-hearted and very well-behaved and adorable.

No wonder His Majesty adores this little princess so much.
"Sir, sir, let me pick out some good stuff for you." The female shopkeeper, with her sharp eyes, quickly greeted him with a smile.

"We guarantee that your family of three will be satisfied!"

Su Cheng and General Hei were both taken aback.

Seeing their reaction, the young woman nestled in their arms blinked her bright eyes and quickly replied sweetly to the shopkeeper, "Thank you so much, sister! I'll definitely make sure my dad and mom look even prettier!"

"Oh my, what a sweet talker you are!"

The female shopkeeper laughed heartily and warmly welcomed the three of them.

General Hei looked at the several gorgeous dresses handed to him and wanted to refuse, but when he met Su Cheng's gentle gaze, he nodded in agreement as if possessed.

It wasn't until she was invited into the inner room to change that she belatedly came to her senses, clutching the soft silk dress in her hands, lost in thought.

"A family of three, right?"

As the sun sets, its warm yellow afterglow paints the sky.

On a high cliff in the green mountains, three figures sat side by side.

Wide silk cloths were spread out on the ground, piled high with various local snacks, as well as many pieces of jewelry and fabrics.
Su Cheng gazed at the setting sun gradually sinking into the horizon, a gentle smile on his face, as he softly stroked the girl's hair in his arms.

The three of them toured the entire city today, visited several surrounding mountains, and enjoyed the beautiful natural scenery.

And now.
"elder brother."

The little girl, who rarely gets to play all day, is now fast asleep and sleeping soundly.

Not only that, her soft little hands were also gently clutching Su Cheng's clothes, and soft, sweet whispers occasionally escaped from her pink lips.

Hugs and kisses

"This girl is slowly going astray too."

Su Cheng chuckled and casually tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind.

General Hei sat beside them, hugging his knees, and quietly looked at the two of them with gentle eyes.

At this moment, she was no longer wearing the heavy armor of the past, nor the black robe she wore when going out.

Instead, she wore a dress that accentuated her tall and alluring figure, and her long hair was styled in a bun, adding a touch of gentleness and charm to her sharp and dignified demeanor.

How was your day?

Su Cheng suddenly turned his head and looked over.

General Hei smiled and nodded: "This is the first time in all these years that I have had such a warm and relaxing time."

"That's good." Su Cheng smiled. "It's a good thing that Leng Ning can appreciate more of the beauty of the world."

"what?"

General Hei was immediately taken aback: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"

".nothing."

General Hei's expression softened again, and he lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "Since the Emperor of Calamity bestowed my name, this is the first time in thousands of years that someone has called me that."
