The three-year-old host decides to raise an emperor father for himself.

Xuanyuan Jing and Xiao Lanxing did not stay with Chen Li for long. After receiving assurances from Doctor Fang that he could solve Chen Li's problem, the father and daughter left first to avoid making Chen Li feel uncomfortable.

No sooner had the two left than Doctor Fang stroked his beard, looked at Chen Li, and chuckled, "You little rascal, you've fallen into my hands after all."

Upon hearing this, Chen Li blinked and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Doctor Fang chuckled, opened the medicine box next to him, and said while looking for something, "You kid, you have such a good memory, don't play dumb with this old man."

"Hmph, with the prince speaking up, you, the patient, will have no choice but to listen to me these days."

Dr. Fang hadn't forgotten that last time Chen Li woke him up in the middle of the night, and the other man pretended not to know he was asleep.

Although there was a reason for it, Dr. Fang was unhappy with Chen Li's appearance at the time, and now he could finally get his revenge.

Chen Li: "...Please be lenient."

Doctor Fang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will take good care of you!"

Chen Li: "..."

Oh, I didn't expect you to hold a grudge like that.

Well, Dr. Fang is his elder after all, so what can Chen Li do but put up with it?

——————————————————————————————

Xiao Lanxing returned to the main courtyard with Xuan Yuanjing and received the semi-finished incense product personally prepared by Xuan Yuanjing, which immediately made her beam with joy.

Xuanyuan Jing watched from the side and asked with a smile, "What else do you need? Father will help you."

Xiao Lanxing: "Make it into a paste."

Xuanyuan Jing: "Do we need to add anything else?"

Xiao Lanxing nodded.

Xuanyuan Jing: "Okay, let's do it."

Xuanyuan Jing has no shortage of good things.

Whatever Xiao Lanxing wanted, Xuan Yuanjing would have someone fetch it for her. However, because the materials still needed to be processed, the whole morning passed by just like that.

Around noon, Xiao Lanxing finally finished: "All done!"

Xuanyuan Jing looked at the ointment carefully placed in the small box and asked thoughtfully, "Is that all?"

Xiao Lanxing nodded.

Xuanyuan Jing smiled, pondering something, when he saw the little girl pick up a small stick from the side, scoop up a little milky white ointment, and apply it directly to the back of her hand.

This scene made Xuan Yuanjing's brow twitch.

Then, the little girl spread the tiny bit of perfume on the back of her hand, brought it to her nose, and smelled it.

She was clearly satisfied, nodding her little head. "Smells good!"

After saying that, he raised his hand, gesturing for Xuanyuan Jing to smell it as well.

Xuanyuan Jing gently held her hand, stared at it carefully for a while, and found nothing unusual. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, then leaned over and gently smelled it.

He had actually smelled the balm before, but when Xiao Lanxing's natural faint milky scent was mixed with the balm, it created a new fragrance.

I can't quite describe what it smells like, but it smells wonderful.

Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help but smile. "It smells wonderful, the stars smell so sweet."

Xiao Lanxing exclaimed happily, "It smells so good!"

Then, the little girl grabbed the small box and handed it to Xuan Yuanjing, looking at him expectantly.

Xuanyuan Jing: "Hmm?"

Little Lanxing's eyes sparkled: "Daddy! Xiangxiang!"

Xuanyuan Jing: "...Hmm, you mean, you want me to apply it?"

Xiao Lanxing nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling.

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

In those days, it was not uncommon for men to wear makeup; in fact, men often paid more attention to these things than women, and men wearing flowers in their hair was considered a fine thing.

However, Xuanyuan Jing was not among them; he found it troublesome and preferred that things be kept tidy.

But the past is the past. Now, his beloved little daughter is looking at him expectantly. Even though he hasn't had time to give the item to Doctor Fang for examination, Xuan Yuanjing still couldn't resist her gaze.

Xuanyuan Jing extended his hand.

He imitated her movements, using the flattened end of the small wooden stick to pick up some of the mixture and spread it evenly on the back of his hand.

Xiao Lanxing blinked, then said, "You're wrong."

Xuanyuan Jing: "Hmm?"

The little girl took the small wooden stick, picked out a piece about the size of Xuan Yuanjing's thumb, placed it in her palm, wiped it, and then stood on tiptoe and pressed it directly against Xuan Yuanjing's face.

Xuanyuan Jing: ...?

It's just that he wasn't on guard against her. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would either have been dodged by Xuan Yuanjing or kicked away by her.

When Xuan Yuanjing realized that the little girl had smeared the substance directly on her face, he was briefly on edge, but quickly relaxed again.

It's ok.

The stars won't harm him.

Thinking this, Xuan Yuanjing's features softened again. He not only didn't pull the little girl's hand away, but also changed from squatting to sitting, making it easier for her to move around by lowering his head.

With bright, sparkling eyes, Xiao Lanxing carefully and meticulously spread the substance evenly on Xuan Yuanjing's face, even patting it on as if to show her appreciation. Finally, she nodded in satisfaction: "All done!"

Then, she tiptoed closer, almost touching Xuan Yuanjing's face, sniffed, and said happily, "Daddy! It smells so good! It's so pretty!"

Seeing her so happy, Xuan Yuanjing's smile deepened unconsciously. He placed the small box in his hand on the small table next to him, reached out and hugged her directly, nuzzling her face against his: "Mmm, the stars smell nice too."

Xiao Lanxing giggled happily, her little hands touching the man's face, looking like she couldn't put him down.

If Xuanyuan Jing didn't have the ability to read minds, he would probably think this way.

but……

Little Lanxing was thinking to herself: "It feels rough to the touch. Daddy needs to apply lotion every day so it will be soft and smooth next spring!"

The system applauded in response: [Host, you're amazing! You even protected Xuan Yuan Jing's skin!]

As for what Xuanyuan Jing thinks, who cares? Anyway, the corruption value has stabilized at a safe level again, and Xiao Lanxing is happy every day, so the system has decided to give up and do nothing.

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

What else can be done.

Just pamper her.

However, now that this thing is finished, then...

Xuanyuan Jing: "Xiangxiang, is this all you need? Xingxing, what are you going to do with all those medicinal herbs you picked out from Doctor Fang earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing exclaimed "Ah!" and her hand, without her noticing, touched Xuan Yuanjing's earlobe again, pinching it. "Give it to Lili, Uncle."

Xiao Lanxing: [I don't know when Uncle Pei will have an accident, so we need to get him back to normal as soon as possible. Lili wanted to come along, so we're preparing together.]

Xuan Yuanjing's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked with a smile, "Hmm, you only gave it to Lili and your Uncle Pei, didn't Father get any?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing blinked and said, "Daddy, there's something even better."

Xiao Lanxing: [Daddy's health is weak, we need something better, and we're still missing two ingredients. They all say they can only find them in the bad guys' warehouse.]

Xiao Lanxing: [When can we go to the bad guys' warehouse to get it?]

Xuanyuan Jing: ...?

Did he hear wrongly?
