Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Elder Xuanqing's eyes flashed with a hint of heartache. He then patted Bai Ruoan's shoulder and put on a smile again. He led Bai Ruoan through the crowd. He was always smiling and seemed to be able to talk to anyone, so many people greeted him.

Gradually, Bai Ruoan became somewhat impatient; he found these sycophants disgusting.

"Uncle, let's hurry up and go!" Bai Ruoan frowned slightly and urged impatiently. His voice was not loud, but it carried a hint of imperceptible anxiety.

Elder Xuanqing noticed Bai Ruoan's actions, stopped, and replied with a smile, "Little An, you'll have no friends if you keep going like this!"

His tone was slightly teasing, yet it also contained a hint of an elder's concern for a younger generation.

Upon hearing Elder Xuanqing's words, Bai Ruoan's eyes flashed with disdain. He replied indifferently, "I don't need friends!"

His tone carried a hint of stubbornness and arrogance, as if he didn't care much about making friends.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuanqing's smile deepened, and he asked with great interest, "Oh? Aren't the eldest daughter of the Shen family and her two children your friends?"

A ripple stirred in Bai Ruoan's heart, and her thoughts became complicated.

Is he really friends with Shen Yunxi and her two children?

He recalled their first meeting, when he had only agreed to become their driver to repay a debt of gratitude.

Later, as time went on, their relationship seemed to grow closer, but he always felt that there was some insurmountable boundary between them.

Perhaps using the word "friends" to describe their relationship is not accurate.

He was, in a sense, their driver, an employed protector, and someone who would become Shen Ruoyu's partner in the future.

After they left, the crowd dispersed one by one.

Elder Songhe watched Elder Xuanqing and Bai Ruoan's departing figures and let out a disdainful snort: "Hmph, he's just a good-for-nothing nephew, what's there to be proud of! That old bastard Xuanqing actually treats this kid like a treasure."

He shook his head, his tone full of disdain and mockery.

Elder Songhe curled his lip in disdain, his gaze casually sweeping over the exhibits on the round platform.

The few treasures presented at the beginning were indeed valuable, but in his eyes, they were nothing more than ordinary trinkets, far inferior to the top-grade thousand-year-old dragon bone he longed for. His purpose in coming here was clear: to obtain the legendary dragon bone.

Elder Xuanqing came here because the prescription Shen Yunxi gave him was missing a few medicinal herbs. Coincidentally, he came to the Star Realm Auction House to try his luck and see if he could complete the prescription.

Shen Yunxi watched the opening auction downstairs with a bored expression. Di Xuanshang silently poured her tea, peeled peanuts, melon seeds, oranges, and so on.

"Master, there's a bewitching fox here!" Snowflake whispered a reminder.

The Enchanting Fox, just as its name suggests, is born with a mastery of seduction. Every smile, every gesture, is a weapon to captivate the heart.

However, it is ultimately just an ordinary soul with limited abilities, effective only against those with low cultivation levels and weak minds.

"If we're talking about who has the best charm, it has to be the Nine-Tailed Fox!" Xue Rong added.

Shen Yunxi recalled the scene when she first met Bai Ruoan. His cold face made it seem as if someone owed him millions of spirit stones, making people afraid to approach him.

She instinctively shivered, a chill running from her feet straight to the top of her head.

How could someone with his aloof and cold demeanor possibly possess the power of charm?

Do not make jokes!
