After seeing off the little guys, Leng Chengran closed the door. When he lowered his head, he saw his little apprentice tugging at his lapel, his mouth flattened in grievance, as if he was very scared.
Leng Chengran knelt down and coaxed her gently, "What's wrong, little winter melon?"
Unexpectedly, the little girl's eyes turned red, as if she was frightened by him, she quickly let go of his clothes, and ran away behind the table, only revealing a pair of big tearful eyes, looking at him pitifully.
Since they met, this was the first time that the little girl showed fear and rejection towards him. Leng Chengran couldn't get used to it at all. He was stunned for a moment and felt that he really hated this feeling.
But this kind of dislike is definitely not because he is angry with his little apprentice, he just wants to improve the current situation.
So he softened his tone, as if he was afraid of scaring his little apprentice, stretched out his hand and asked softly, "What's wrong with Ruirui? Did Master do something wrong that made Ruirui sad?"
The little girl looked at his hand timidly, hesitated for a while, and then said sadly, "Master wants to kill me!"
How is that possible! Who is talking nonsense to Ruirui!
Leng Chengran spent hundreds of years cultivating a good rest and good temper, but at this moment, all his efforts were broken, and anger surged in his heart.
But let alone getting angry, he didn't even dare to keep a straight face now because he was afraid of scaring his little apprentice.
Putting aside his anger towards the nonsense person, Leng Chengran explained in a gentle voice, "How could Master kill Ruirui? Master is reluctant to even scold Ruirui."
Tears rolled in her eyes, and the little girl looked at him hesitantly, "But a few days ago, the master told the grim-faced man that he wanted to raise me up and kill me to sacrifice to heaven, so as to improve your cultivation for a hundred years..."
Leng Chengran: "..."
It turned out to be the nonsense he said the day he shaped his image into an old monster from Montenegro...
His little apprentice is so smart, how could he not know that he said that on purpose?
This sinister little winter melon is digging holes for him to jump into again.
But knowing that his little apprentice was not really afraid that he would not like him, Leng Chengran felt relieved and wanted to play with his little apprentice with great interest.
He continued on with the previous topic, "That's all Master's lies and nonsense."
Sure enough, the little girl blinked and said, "Then why does Master dote on me so much?"
Leng Chengran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed quietly.
"Winter melon... It seems that Master can't hide it from you anymore. In fact, you are just like the pumpkins and eggplants grown in the fields. You are really a little winter melon. Master loves you so that you can grow up quickly. Master
It’s great to have pork ribs and winter melon soup to drink.”
The little girl was stunned when she heard this, and held her little hands, "It turns out that I am really a winter melon..."
As a well-behaved and easy-to-deceive little girl, Ruirui quickly accepted the "reality" and even thought about the key issue——
"Master has been so kind to me. I want to repay Master by working hard to gain weight so that Master can have lots and lots of winter melon soup to drink!"
The little girl clenched her fists responsibly, "Looks like I'm going to have another midnight snack!"
Leng Chengran: "..."
After catching the greedy little winter melon who was really planning to look for food, Leng Chengran smiled and scratched her little nose, "The most important thing about little winter melon is to grow taller, so you have to go to bed early. Be good, don't eat any more. Be good."
