Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

“No need.” Shen Yunxi shook her head, raising her hand to stop the eager Lan Yu. Her tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness. “We’ve only just left the valley; now is not the time to act ostentatiously. Besides, this is Bai family territory, and we’re unfamiliar with the area, so it’s best to be cautious. Moreover, our next goal is to help Bai Ruochen awaken his companion soul; we shouldn’t cause any unforeseen complications.”

She looked at Lan Yu and Xue Rong and whispered, "You two should also restrain yourselves and not easily reveal your strength."

As soon as she finished speaking, she put the Ice Phoenix into her soul seal. Upon seeing this, Xue Rong transformed into a fluffy white shape and snuggled into Shen Yunxi's arms.

Shen Yunxi withdrew her gaze, looked at Bai Ruochen, and said with a hint of teasing, "Let's go."

She paused, looked Bai Ruochen up and down, and added, "You're too flashy, that's not a good thing."

Bai Ruochen was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly turned crimson.

Shen Yunxi took out a mask from her storage ring, handed it to Bai Ruochen, and continued, "Find a mask and put it on."

The mask was entirely black, with intricate patterns carved on it, giving it a mysterious and noble appearance.

"If this face is recognized, our next move will be in trouble," Shen Yunxi explained calmly, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible caution.

Just as Shen Yunxi and her group were about to board the carriage, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar. Situ Jingtian led a group of Bai family disciples in pursuit of the soul beast's trail, only to be met with a scene of utter devastation: the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees had been burned by the strange fire, turning them a charred black, and a faint smell of burning filled the air.

Situ Jingtian frowned, his sharp gaze sweeping across the scene before him, finally settling on Shen Yunxi and the others. He said, "Gentlemen, please wait!"

Before Shen Yunxi could speak, Shen Ruoyu put his hands on his hips and stepped in front of everyone, saying in a childish voice, "We're very hungry and in a hurry to eat!" He raised his chin, his tone tinged with impatience, "So, don't bother us!"

As the little guy spoke, he sighed as if he were a grown-up, rubbed his rumbling tummy, and added, "It's all Mommy's fault for lingering here for so long. Now my tummy is growling!"

Shen Yunxi: "!!!"

Shen Ruoning: "!!!"

Situ Jingtian: "!!!"

Before Situ Jingtian could speak, the disciple behind him, his face full of anger, pointed at Shen Ruoyu's nose and shouted angrily, "Where did this ignorant brat come from, daring to speak to our young master like that!"

He stepped forward, his demeanor menacing, as if he were about to teach Shen Ruoyu a lesson: "So rude at such a young age! Today, I'll teach you a lesson in manners!" With that, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight: "Do you know who our young master is? How dare you be so insolent!"

"what!"

A piercing scream shattered the tranquility of the forest, startling a flock of birds perched on branches into a flurry of flight. The Bai family disciple, clutching his bleeding right hand, doubled over in agony as his severed finger fell to the ground with a dull thud. Shen Ruoning held a crystal-clear Ice Soul sword in her hand, her delicate face icy, her voice as sharp as ice shards: "Didn't your parents teach you that pointing at others is impolite?"
