Chapter 55: Does He Even Know How To Act Properly?

"Mama! You're back!" the young girl perked up as the doors opened and Luo Ju Di stepped out along with the man she came to see. The child would turn her attention away from the Panda and the secretary, she ran up to her mother and hugged her leg. "Did you ask if I can have the Panda from this bastard CEO?"

A certain Panda would be laughing its butt out, while initially surprised and even worried about the child—it had taught the kid some words.

"Chunhua, that's not a very nice word to say." Luo Ju Di scolded the child lightly. "Where did you hear that word from?"

"From the Panda!"

"Is that so?" Luo Ju Di would raise a brow and then glance at the secretary. Was this woman teaching her child bad words because she was upset over the CEO? She didn't know what to say about the taste of Li Yang in regards to other girls. Why was there such a petty woman taking it out on her clueless child? And yet this wasn't her business.

Ying Yue He had other thoughts that went in the complete direction. She fought back the urge to make a face—what kind of mother would say words in the presence of their child? No child would grow up respecting an adult if that was how this woman spoke about her boss. But Ying Yue He didn't have to get worked up over it at all.

Only Li Yang would know the truth about the situation. He gave the Panda a look but only shook his head, he was already rather used to such words and it hardly made him bat an eye.

"Chunhua, if you say hurtful words, you'd make him very sad. Now apologize to… Mama's friend." What else was she supposed to say? She had promised to look for her father, but if the man wasn't willing to accept it, then this was an appropriate title.

The little girl's eyes widened and she looked up to Li Yang. Compared to her mama's comforting presence and height, her mama's friend was—

Li Yang watched the child cower behind her mother's back and squeak, "O-Ogre! Troll! No, he's a giant!"

If there was anything that happened now, it would be the Panda once again bursting into laughter. It guffawed in the air and pointed a paw at Li Yang, "Hah! I didn't teach that one—that's all from her! Oh go—" the creature's laughter would quiet down as it realized that the child now looked at it. It coughed lightly and then choked at the sudden notification.

But it wasn't only that made the creature choke on thin air, Li Yang would kneel down for a moment to arrive at the child's eye level. He held out a hand, "I'm not a monster or anything like that, I'm Li Yang."

The child would continue to huddle over her mother's leg, and even buried her face in her mother's thigh to avoid looking him in the eye.

"That's actually some nice cake." the Panda suddenly said.

Li Yang fought back the urge to smack himself or the creature, but once again tried to converse with the child. "You did get the CEO part correct, as for the word that you learned from the Panda—it's not really a great word to use. Actually, you shouldn't listen to the Panda at all, it's like a tricky and nasty goblin underneath all its fur."

"W-what?" the child raised her head and looked at him. There was a bewildered but interested look in her eyes, "A goblin? Really?"

He chuckled and nodded, "Really."

"So you can see it too!"

"Mhmm."

"Mama has never seen them before." the child complained with a pout, "But I think you're cool for a friend of mama."

"Chunhua, don't forget to apologize." Luo Ju Di once again reminded her child. There was a streak of red across her face right now. She did expect courtesy from this man… but to think that he would actually talk with her child right now and get along with her imagination?

"I'm sorry, but the Panda said to call you that."

"Chunhua, that's not a good excuse."

"It's alright, I forgive you." Li Yang assured the two of them.

The girl would reach out and grab his hand with her own, "What's your name again, big man?"

Luo Ju Di was mortified to a certain extent while Ying Yue He could only wonder where this girl could hear someone using such words. The Panda would only crack up some more. The Heavens had varying responses.

"You could call me Uncle or Mister if you like."

"Uncle Yang?" the child tilted her head. "Mister Li?"

"... Uncle does sound good." Li Yang admitted.

Chunhua shook his hand and beamed, "Uncle Yang it is! Nice to meet you, thank you for letting me meet your Panda-Goblin pet!"

"I'm not his—!" the creature fumed. "I'm not even a—argh." Instead of exploding, the Panda instead became sullen and crossed its arms over its chest. "Once this is all over, I swear. You'll see."

"Not a problem. We might see each other around more often, so you'll get to see them too."

The child let out a cheer, and though he could at least feel some easy-going if not indulgent feelings over the child—he was also planning out the next steps after this. It felt like he had some kind of migraine right now as well. A throbbing and pulsating sensation that bombarded his head.

"We'll be going now then, Li Yang." Luo Ju Di said and inclined her head.

It was time for him to start drinking the Root Blossoming Tea. The qi density and type were increasing as he felt certain negative emotions, and thus it was time to resolve it.

Li Yang finally stood up and raised a hand to his forehead, "Miss He—please take care of them as they leave. Make some accommodations as well. Thank you."

"Very well, sir."

Author Note: One can only imagine how much distress our Secretary is feeling right now, and how this CEO practically hands over the matter into her hands. Now who's the evil one haha, it's the Author for sure xD Li Yang got his own personal matters, and he unfortunately forgot about how his secretary would feel... but he can actually talk with a kid? I mean, this chapter might either scare you or give you diabetes, or make you roll your eyes. Or you're annoyed. I talked with another author who said that I can't decide to which demographic I'm catering to, and I need to make smut. Yes, we're sort of moving onto other matters next chapter, his cultivation and weak spiritual roots. Definitely gonna work in some more harem-like scenes or something though. Power!
