Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1357 - 16: Little Girl_2

Alandia sighed: "Let this be the last time."

"Oh, oh, blessings upon you, benevolent knight!"

Gongsun Ce knelt on the lawn, raising both hands as if a holy knight in dire straits praising the sun.

Generally speaking, Void Phase Mages rarely use skills that affect the body. However, after breaking through to the Creation Realm, most of the previous common sense can be tossed aside, and upon reaching the peak of Creation Realm, except for the difficult Silent Phase Skill, the rest of the mind phases are nearly omnipotent. The total time Gongsun Ce spent anxiously pacing before the bedroom was only a minute from entering to opening the door. When the door opened again, he agilely leaped back a step, his gaze swiftly tracking his target—

Only to stare at empty space.

"Ce, you should realize that at 11 years old, my line of sight can’t possibly match yours."

"I was being an idiot."

A childish voice drifted up from below, carrying the seriousness that had been evident since childhood. Gongsun Ce awkwardly lowered his gaze, seeing a small silver head. The child was dressed in a small white shirt and light blue striped suspenders, wearing plain-looking student shoes, with a pair of white cotton socks pulled below her knees. Her frame was even thinner than Gongsun Ce imagined, her small face showing no baby fat, silver hair grown long and twisted into a small braid resting carefully on her shoulder, neatly like a class monitor.

When Alandia spoke, she found it a bit strenuous; her height only reached Gongsun Ce’s waist, requiring her to strain her neck to maintain the old habit of looking him in the eye while talking.

"The East District public school’s uniforms aren’t what you imagined, more like children’s work clothes." She spun around in place, displaying the outfit for him, then conjured a deep blue double-breasted coat to drape over herself, "In the winter, we wear coats like this for warmth, and some schools also distribute hats and gloves. Does this satisfy your curiosity?"

The logic in her words remained clear, but her voice, owing to her age, lacked its usual crispness, sounding soft and almost like a plea. Gongsun Ce stepped back two more steps as a gesture of courtesy, nodding repeatedly as he listened to her explanation.

Indeed, the actual situation was completely different from what he had imagined. Alandia, able to cater to such silly requests from a boyfriend, was practically an angel. Now was the time to demonstrate the knight’s honor; he couldn’t let silly thoughts take over, he should carefully think through his words before speaking. First, appreciate her rationality evident since childhood, then discuss with empathy the school life of typical children in the country, and finally express gratitude and ask Alandia to revert to normal.

Absolutely perfect, flawlessly logical. It was too much to make this dear little lady wait with her neck strained. Action begins now.

Gongsun Ce felt secretly proud of his calm and rationality. Smiling, he lowered his head and said:

"Oh oh oh oh oh so cute, too cute, super cute, simply an angel! How can a child be this cute? Let big brother give you a hug and lift you high!"

Not giving the other a single chance, he leapt forward with extraordinary speed akin to a football player scrambling for the ball, scooping the little girl into his arms. Then he spun in place, gently lifting her up! Putting her down! Lifting her up again! Putting her down!

"Ahahaha, ahahaha!"

The girl’s braid swirled in the air, Gongsun Ce, keen on the lifting game, his smile radiant like spring sunshine. Honestly, the knight’s honor was lost, but everyone in the Knight Order surely would understand in this situation! Not even Yuliy would scold him! After all... after all... how could anyone see such a cute child and do nothing! This is the act of any normal person, and anyone rational against it is far beyond normal, indeed, such a person is undoubtedly a weirdo! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Come on, come on, little Alandia, what do you want to play today? What do you want to eat? Where do you want to go strolling? Brother Gongsun will surely accompany you!"

Hands raised high, Gongsun Ce was met with the piercing gaze of the 11-year-old.

"Ce, sit down, please."

"I’m terribly sorry, I lost myself and neglected your feelings, deeply ashamed, please forgive your ignorant attendant."

Gongsun Ce knelt on the floor in the so-called "proper sitting" posture, with little Alandia standing on the sofa cushion, ensuring she maintained a height advantage for her lecture.

"Ce, your speed in breaking promises was surprising to me."

"No, no, you must believe me, there was no element of desire in my actions just now, it was the kind of excited reaction people have when seeing cute cats, dogs, little animals, gurrah!"

Little Alandia picked up a detective novel, giving a light tap on the attendant’s head as punishment.

"No matter what, you shouldn’t be so impolite to young females; you make me worry about the safety of girl students in Cangdu’s elementary and secondary schools."

"I, Gongsun Ce, usually have no dealings with little girls!" Gongsun Ce said, beating his chest, "I most disdain fussy, noisy, troublesome kids; my approach to dealing with young human cubs is always no contact, no communication. My actions just now were purely because you are too cute! You can’t blame me for that!"

Little Alandia pressed her brow in distress as the attendant began enumerating "100 Merits of Alandia at 11," apparently intent on continuing indefinitely. She interrupted before he could list the tenth: "In fact, I was not particularly exceptional at 11, I was merely an ordinary student. Your feelings for me greatly influenced your judgment."
