Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Unlike the sweltering heat of the south, the Ice City truly lives up to its name. Even in summer, the outdoor temperature never exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, and the indoor temperature is even cooler.

In early autumn, you still need to wear a coat in the mornings and evenings.

The cool air of the city helped to alleviate much of the restlessness in my chest.

A day later, the two arrived in Ice City, and were stopped by someone as soon as they reached the entrance of the base.

"Is this Miss Mo Qing? My superiors sent me to pick you up."

"Superior? Which superior?" Mu Lingxi was momentarily stunned, then immediately realized it must be her cheapskate father. Calling a head of state "superior" wasn't an exaggeration at all.

The man was around 20 years old and had a youthful air about him. The determination in his eyes also made him seem very safe and reliable.

Both his clothing and his demeanor testify to his military background.

Mu Lingxi became even more certain of her conjecture.

So eager? A picture of the two of them being intimate, oblivious to everyone else, suddenly flashed through my mind.

The wood spirit shivered violently.

Love-struck people are terrifying!

The expression in her eyes shifted in an instant, then quickly returned to calm.

"Let's go."

After verifying their identities, the two followed each other into the base. When they arrived, Mu Lingxi finally realized just how impatient the other party was.

The building is already deserted.

Mu Lingqi...

I feel like I want to say something but I'm powerless to do so.

Unfortunately, those unaware of the truth were still trying to make amends for him—"Old Mu was so stubborn! He worked tirelessly for the country for decades, and even in his final days, he didn't rest, leaving with just a little assistant. Really..."

"Everyone knows he didn't want to be a burden to us. And then this disaster happened... But he didn't even think about how young you are... How could he bear to leave you alone... Sigh... Old Mu, Old Mu, why are you so stubborn?"

The two seemed to have a good relationship, but the man, whose dignity was etched into his wrinkles, was filled with sorrow and burst into tears at the drop of a hat, which seemed very incongruous.

Mu Lingxi sensed the goodwill conveyed by the other party and felt somewhat at a loss. She wasn't usually one to put on an act in front of others, especially since the other party was offering genuine feelings, and she couldn't very well be perfunctory. She could only lower her head, stand expressionless to the side, and try to minimize her presence.

Mu Cangxuan, you're really something! You just walked away and left me with this mess.

That's so unfair! If you're so capable, then create your own mess; if you're not, then clean up the mess yourself!

Mu Lingqi was full of resentment.

"Are you sure?" A lazy voice suddenly spoke, as if it knew what she was thinking.

Mu Lingxi was startled, thinking she was hallucinating, but she knew it was impossible, and the voice seemed somewhat...familiar? She used her divine sense to look around, but couldn't find the owner of the voice.

"I am your dear father in this life, my good daughter. Don't you recognize your father so quickly? I am so heartbroken."

"Haha, hahaha!" The laughter was wild and unrestrained, but there was not a trace of sadness.

Mu Lingqi wanted to grind her teeth but ultimately held back. Circumstances were beyond her control; even muttering to herself would be noticed. What could she do?

You can only consider yourself unlucky.

"My dear daughter, don't be angry. After all, I've maintained this little world for you for hundreds of years. So, I'll give you another divine artifact, and then we'll be even."

Mu Lingxi's palms were slightly cool. She gently squeezed them; they seemed to be a bead.

"My dear daughter, I'm leaving now. I have a feeling we'll meet again." Then came another burst of unrestrained laughter; he seemed genuinely happy.

Mu Lingqi couldn't use telepathy, and with other people around, she could only listen to the other party's barrage of attacks in frustration before simply turning around and leaving.

"Alas," a heavy sigh brought Mu Lingxi back to her senses.

Mu Lingxi loosened her clenched fingers and let out a heavy sigh.

Forget it, there's no point in chasing after them now; they've already gone far away.

It's because I'm too weak that I've fallen into this passive situation; all the helplessness and frustration stem from my lack of strength. Didn't they say there would be a chance to meet again? Then I'll slap his face on the ground and make him kneel and call me "Dad."

Yu Degang looked at the absent-minded little boy in front of him, feeling a mixture of pity and helplessness.

“Your father is gone. If you need anything, just go to your uncle. He will do his best to help you.”

Mu Cangxuan: Although I have indeed left this world, according to the lie I told myself, I should still be alive and well, having just left the base. Cursing me like this will offend some important people.

As soon as Mu Cangxuan left, he turned back for one last look. This glance sent a shiver down Yu Degang's spine.

Strange, it seems the temperature has suddenly dropped. Is the temperature in Harbin really that fluctuating?

Yu Degang took two steps in place to shake off the chill on his back.

He was acting while thinking about things.

He had finally forced himself to show his true feelings. Even if this little girl didn't understand his good intentions, he just wanted her to come to him if she needed anything. He couldn't let those two tears he had managed to squeeze out go to waste.

A thoughtful, observant gaze met a pair of numb, lifeless eyes.

Another sigh.

Judging from her absent-minded look, you'd better keep a closer eye on this little girl.

The two were each thinking their own thoughts, completely different from each other, yet they unexpectedly got along well. The base, which had been peacefully organized, was suddenly disrupted by a group of people gathering there.

"We just want an explanation! Our family members are dead! Our friends are dead! We've been forced to leave our homes, is it too much to ask for an explanation?" Every word was heartbreaking and painful.

"It's already the end of the world, all we want is the truth." Utterly humble.

"What truth? Is there something we don't know?" A commotion broke out in the crowd, with whispers rising.

The scene was chaotic. People who were just watching the show joined in, and the pushing and shoving made things even more chaotic. The entrance to the office area was so crowded that it was impossible to hear anything.

Someone took out a megaphone to maintain order, and Yu Degang, the newly appointed base commander, was hurriedly called away.

The wood spirit, who was trying to maintain her sorrow, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness they're gone.

I really can't handle it.

When Yu Degang arrived, some people had already broken through the defense line. In desperation, Yu Degang had no choice but to take out his pistol.

A gunshot rang out, and a window shattered into pieces, shards flying everywhere.

The crowd retreated, and gradually everyone quieted down.

Yu Degang took the megaphone; his eyes were still red from crying, which made the strangers even quieter.

Who are those people? I doubt anyone here doesn't know.

"For thousands of years, we humans have been weak, and our country has been oppressed."

"How did we survive? Was it by showing off our strength and fighting back? Was it by inciting a mob to cause trouble?"

"It's unity! It's the unwavering belief in never giving up. We will cross mountains, we will fill rivers..."

The speech was powerful, a far cry from the gentle and mild tone of the previous speech.

Some people saw blood at the scene, and some went mad.

Those that went berserk and bit people were temporarily detained, and the research institute began to conduct experiments on these viruses. They were also repeatedly criticized as negative examples.

A week later, the man was released, and everyone around him looked at him with wary eyes, fearing him like a tiger.

In such an environment, even a normal person would go crazy, let alone an abnormal person.

This person was eventually expelled from the base.
