But Chu Dazhuang was, after all, on the rise, and even though Orianna couldn't expedite his progress, she still needed to ensure Chu Dazhuang faced as few hiccups as possible.
With this thought, Orianna spoke up again.
"When have I ever needed you to worry about me, Grandma?"
"You don't need to bother with this child, Grandma can handle it herself."
After saying this, Chu Dazhuang was touched, and he chuckled, then gently reached out his hand and gave Orianna's little nose a flick.
The three of them cuddled together; it was warm, but Chu Dazhuang naturally knew the complexities involved, being aware that having a child for immortals was not as straightforward as it was for mortals—there were many more affairs to consider.
But Orianna was also right—Chu Dazhuang would risk his life to protect them when the time came.
However, that alone wasn't enough.
After this reflection, Orianna felt a little sad, yet she wasn't discouraged at all in her heart.
