Unsurprisingly, I spent more and more time delving into my Cultivation as the giggles drew ever closer, which sadly meant that for the moment, Li Yue wasn't always beside me and the sole beneficiary of my attention, which angered me slightly.
I had promised to myself and to her that I would give her all the love and affection that I had been denied as a baby, and yet here I was reneging on my word and leaving her with An and Ci, both of whom seemed to rather enjoy having Li Yue to themselves.
An sang to the baby girl while letting her fluff her tail, all while she gently bopped Li Yue's nose or cheeks, making her giggle, while Ci played with Li Yue by sending small gusts of cold air towards her, surprising her and snatching her attention from An.
