Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Shen Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then forced a weak smile: "You are my subordinate, and you were injured while saving me. How could I possibly abandon you?"

Di Xuanshang's gaze became even more complex. As he looked at Shen Yunxi's pale face, a strange warmth welled up in his heart.

This was the first time he had ever felt so cared for, and an unprecedented feeling spread through his heart.

He instinctively pulled Shen Yunxi into his arms, feeling her soft body. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, giving him a sense of inexplicable peace.

"What...what are you doing?" Shen Yunxi was startled by his sudden action and struggled to push him away, but he held her even tighter.

"Don't move." Di Xuanshang's voice was low and hoarse: "Let me hold you for a while..."

Shen Yunxi was taken aback by his sudden embrace. She instinctively tried to struggle, but due to exhaustion, she leaned limply against him.

The heat emanating from Di Xuanshang, mixed with a faint smell of blood, made her feel dizzy. She tried to speak, but found her throat terribly dry, and could only let out a few weak groans.

Di Xuanshang's embrace was unexpectedly warm; his broad chest felt like a solid mountain, giving her a sense of inexplicable security.

"Take me back to the Fulai Inn in Qingshui Town. It's been so long since I've been back; the kids must be worried!"

After saying that, she closed her eyes wearily, letting herself sink into this brief moment of tranquility.

Di Xuanshang carried Shen Yunxi all the way back to the Fulai Inn in Qingshui Town. As soon as they stepped into the inn, two small figures rushed over and bumped into Shen Yunxi's arms.

"Mommy, are you alright? You scared me to death!" Shen Ruoyu cried, burying her face in Shen Yunxi's clothes, leaving her clothes covered in tear stains.

"Mommy, don't leave us behind next time!" Shen Ruoning hugged Shen Yunxi tightly and complained in a childish voice.

Bai Ruoan and Xue Rong also gathered around, their eyes filled with worry.

"Miss, how are you? Are you hurt?" Bai Ruoan asked with concern.

"Master, are you alright?" Xue Rong's voice trembled with deep worry.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you." Shen Yunxi forced a smile and gently patted the two little ones' heads: "Mommy, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"

After calming the two little ones down, Shen Yunxi took the pill and began to regulate her breathing to recover her spiritual energy.

Di Xuanshang sat to the side, silently guarding her.

Looking at Shen Yunxi's pale face, he felt a mix of emotions.

Although the demonic energy within him was temporarily suppressed, the chilling restlessness lingered, like a venomous snake lurking within him, waiting for its chance to strike.

What puzzled him even more was Shen Yunxi's attitude towards him. She called him 'subordinate' in a natural tone, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

But he had no recollection of this identity, and even felt that it was somewhat...incongruous.

He tried to recall the past, but all he found was a blank and a vague sense of unease, as if he had forgotten something important.

"Handsome Uncle." Shen Ruoyu's clear, childlike voice interrupted Di Xuanshang's thoughts. The little guy toddled over to Di Xuanshang, tilting his head back, his big, dark eyes filled with curiosity. "Handsome Uncle, why are you carrying my mother back?" he asked again in his childish voice, tugging at Di Xuanshang's sleeve, trying to get his attention.

Di Xuanshang looked at Shen Ruoyu, his heart filled with doubt. Wasn't he Shen Yunxi's servant? Why would this child call him "handsome uncle"?
