Miler, who has a system for giving up

Her tone was as light as a gentle spring breeze, softly caressing my face, yet I could still keenly sense the lingering reluctance in her heart, like a lotus root still attached to its roots.

I quickly comforted her, saying, "Okay, my little darling, I'll be like a steadfast lighthouse, waiting for your return. During the upgrade process, you must take good care of yourself as if you were a priceless treasure!"

She seemed to sense my warm, spring-like care and whispered, "Thank you, Master. I will. Once I successfully level up, I will bring you even more surprises, just like a vibrant rainbow!"

After she finished speaking, her voice, like wisps of smoke, gradually dissipated into the air, as if she had resolutely embarked on the journey of upgrading, like a brave warrior charging forward without fear.

I stood quietly in place, silently praying for her, hoping that she could be like a sailboat sailing against the wind and waves, smoothly completing her upgrade and returning to my side as soon as possible.

Standing atop the clouds, like a transcendent immortal, I looked down upon the magnificent and beautiful divine realm below, and my heart surged with an endless longing for my children, like a surging tide.

I turned to look at Han Heng beside me and whispered, "I miss the children so much."

Han Heng seemed to be able to see through my clear and bright mind. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile as warm as a spring breeze and as bright as the sun. He nodded slightly and said, "Then let's go back and see them."

This time, Han Heng and I were like butterflies flying side by side, hand in hand, passing through layers of soft, cloud-like clouds, and slowly landing on that peaceful and serene land in the human world.

Having learned from our first experience, this time we landed lightly and gracefully near the base, like skilled dancers.

This is where Han Heng and I once lived. The familiar streets, houses, and trees feel like old friends I've been separated from for a long time, making me feel incredibly warm and welcome.

Unable to contain my eagerness, I galloped home like a wild horse, my steps light as if I could fly, my anticipation burning like a blazing fire.

Finally, I arrived at my doorstep.

Gently pushing open the door, a familiar scent wafted in like a spring breeze—the unique smell of children.

I stepped into the living room and looked around. Everything seemed to be just like yesterday, as if time had stood still here.

I slowly sat down on the sofa, closed my eyes, and those wonderful times spent with the children played out in my mind like a movie, filling my heart with endless warmth and happiness.

Just then, a clear, bell-like laugh came from the room, and then six small figures rushed out like happy little deer.

"Mommy!" The children excitedly rushed into my arms, their warm little bodies pressed tightly against me, like adorable little suns, filling me with joy.

I hugged them tightly, kissing their little faces, which were as red as apples, and tears streamed down my face like a burst dam.

Han Heng also walked over with a smile, patting the children's heads like a loving father.

"Mommy, where did you go? We miss you so much," said the youngest daughter, Han Haoyue, in her sweet, childlike voice, a voice as melodious as heavenly music.

I smiled and said, "Mom went to take care of some things, but she's back to keep you company now."

The whole family sat together, and as I listened to the children chattering away, sharing the fun things that had happened recently, my heart felt as sweet as if I had eaten honey.

Suddenly, I remembered my little cutie who was still leveling up. I wondered how she was doing. I silently prayed that she would return soon, like an angel descending to earth.

At this moment, the sunlight shines through the window onto us, as if draping us in a golden veil, warm and beautiful.

I know that this happiness will flow on like a gentle stream.

Just as we were basking in the joy of our reunion, the doorbell rang abruptly, as if shattering the warm atmosphere.

I couldn't help but wonder, who could it be so late?

Confused, I slowly got up and walked towards the door.

The moment I opened the door, a figure appeared before me like a ghost.

It was a figure that was both strange and familiar. Strange because I had never seen her in real life grow up like this, but familiar because her face and temperament were exactly the same as the one I remembered.

It was her!

My eyes widened, and an indescribable excitement welled up inside me.

The cutie has actually shown up!

She said before that if she didn't want others to see it, then no one would ever see it!

Did this upgrade grant her the ability to directly transform into a normal human form?

Not only that, she returned ahead of schedule and even leveled up successfully!

Standing before me, she exuded an aura that was both more powerful and composed than ever before.

I originally thought she would be gone for more than a week or a month this time, but I didn't expect that she would return after only a few days apart.

"Master!" she said with a smile, her voice clear and gentle.

Her steps appeared exceptionally steady, each step seemingly containing boundless power.

She slowly walked towards me and then gently hugged me.

Hearing the slight noise from the doorway, the children, like a flock of curious little sparrows, chirped and gathered around.

They stared wide-eyed at the woman who had suddenly appeared at the door, their eyes filled with curiosity and a desire to explore.

Seeing this, Han Heng calmly stepped forward with a faint smile on his face, his voice gentle and steady: "Hmm, it seems this lady must be a good friend of your mother."

Upon hearing Han Heng's words, the children immediately seemed to receive a command and greeted her sweetly in unison, "Hello, beautiful sister!"

This shout was crisp and melodious, as if it could penetrate one's eardrums, bringing joy to the heart.

The children's enthusiastic address made the initially reserved little girl blush slightly, her cheeks flushing and her lips involuntarily curving upwards into a shy smile.

The adorable children seemed oblivious to their sister's embarrassment. They continued to excitedly surround her, bombarding her with questions: some asked her name, some asked where she came from, and others asked if she had brought them any gifts.

The older sister was a little overwhelmed by the children's enthusiasm, but she still patiently answered their questions one by one, trying her best to satisfy their curiosity.

She took the children's hands and began to tell them about the amazing things she had encountered on her journey to level up. The children listened intently, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

As night fell and the city lights shone brightly, we worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner. The whole family sat around the table, and laughter filled the room like the warbling of orioles.

Until my little cutie's round little belly, which looked like a small drum, disappeared in no time, and she looked like she wanted more, I had no choice but to ask the chefs in the restaurant to come and help cook a delicious meal for her.

This time, the little cutie ate with great gusto, devouring everything like a hungry tiger, leaving the chef struggling to keep up.

Looking at the three high stacks of bowls and plates, the little cutie finally stopped eating with satisfaction and said in a sweet voice, "So satisfying, so delicious, thank you to the chefs, and thank you, sister."

As soon as the little cutie entered the door, she flew straight to the children like a cheerful little bird, saying in her sweet, childish voice that I was her older sister, the kind who would risk her life for her.

The chefs looked at the little cutie with warm, loving eyes, secretly thinking that the little girl must be starving, judging by how hungry she looked.

The moonlight outside the window quietly spilled onto the ground, as if draping this happiness in a layer of silver gauze.

I gazed at everyone around me, my heart filled with gratitude.

There may be many challenges ahead, but with them by my side, I firmly believe that we can face them together. This warm and peaceful happiness will always be with us and will become the most precious treasure in my heart.

However, just as everyone was immersed in this joy, suddenly, the lights in the room began to flicker, followed by a low rumbling sound, as if a powerful force was gradually approaching.

The little cutie's face instantly turned gloomy, like dark clouds gathering, and she shouted warily, "A strange and powerful aura is approaching like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey!"

Han Heng also stood in front of me as quickly as the wind, his eyes flashing with a wary light as hard as steel.

The children, like frightened deer, hid behind me in fear, their little hands clutching my clothes tightly as if they were their last lifeline.

A moment later, a dark figure appeared at the door like a ghost. His figure was as tall as a mountain, and he exuded a cold aura like ice.

"They all said you had perished, but I never expected you to return. We couldn't find your presence anywhere before, but this time we'll spare your dog's life!" The shadowy figure's voice was so cold it seemed to freeze one's soul.

The little cutie stood in front of us like a brave warrior, responding loudly in a clear voice: "No matter who you are, don't even think about ruining our sunshine-like happiness!"

The dark figure let out a chilling laugh like an owl, and struck with lightning speed. Little Cutie, like a nimble swallow, hurriedly went to meet it.

In an instant, the room was filled with energy like a volcanic eruption, and the battle was so intense that it seemed to tear the entire world apart.

Just as everyone was on tenterhooks for her, she suddenly unleashed her newly learned skill after the upgrade, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. A dazzling light flashed like the rising sun, and the dark figure was knocked back like a scarecrow blown down by a hurricane.

He glared at us fiercely, gritting his teeth as he said, "You're lucky this time. I'll be back!"

Having said that, he vanished without a trace, like smoke.

As we gazed in the direction the shadows disappeared, we all knew that the road ahead might be as challenging as a turbulent sea, but as long as the family held each other tightly, we would be as unbreakable as a rock and fearless.

"My dear, who exactly is this person? How does he know that I have returned? I have not told anyone that I have returned. Only my family and Han Heng's family know that I have returned."

I stared at the little cutie with suspicion, secretly hoping she could give me a reasonable explanation.

The little cutie calmly pulled a transparent tablet that shimmered with colorful light from her mysterious pocket, as if by magic, and then skillfully began to operate it.

In an instant, the little cutie, as if she had discovered a treasure, danced with excitement and shouted, "Master, I found out! That guy just now actually sneaked in from another dimension. As for why he knew about your return, I guess it's related to the jade pendant you're wearing. Do you remember how you activated that jade pendant back then?"

I nodded in acknowledgment, my thoughts drifting back to that scene. At that time, I accidentally touched the jade pendant, and in an instant, a surging power rushed into my body like a tide, followed by the jade pendant bursting forth with dazzling light.

And it was at that time that the god who claimed to be from another dimension disappeared.

The little cutie continued to explain: "It was because you activated that jade pendant that it was detected by people from other dimensions when you were in the human world. They may have tracked down the location of the jade pendant through some special means, and thus found out where you were."

My brows furrowed, and I felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on my heart, making it hard to breathe: "Wouldn't this jade pendant be like a raging flood, bringing us endless trouble?"

The little cutie blinked its jewel-like eyes and said confidently, "Master, don't worry, I have a brilliant plan. I can use my upgraded supernatural power to create a rock-solid barrier around the jade pendant, so that people from other dimensions will be like headless flies and will no longer be able to sense its existence."

After speaking, the little cutie quickly formed hand seals like a nimble butterfly, muttering incantations as if chanting a mysterious spell.

A soft light, like the dawn's first rays, poured from her hand, tightly enveloping the jade pendant.

The light gradually faded, and the jade pendant, like a pearl that had lost its luster, became dull and lifeless.

The little cutie breathed a sigh of relief: "Mission accomplished. From now on, the jade pendant will be like a pearl hidden in the deep sea, and will never reveal your whereabouts again."

I looked at the little cutie with gratitude: "Thank you, little cutie, you are really powerful now that you have leveled up."

The little cutie smiled sweetly and waved her hand gently: "This is all my duty, Master."

At this moment, Han Heng slowly walked over and said softly, "Although the problem of the jade pendant has been solved, we must not let our guard down. If people from other dimensions can find this place once like ghosts, they may find it a second time as if they were a shadow."
