Chapter 1077 Everyone Wanted A Slice

(MC POV)

I watched as Cai Hong cuddled herself closer to me while my disciples were still staring at her in shock.

"Cai Hong Papa best Papa! Cai Hong no let big sisters and Mama take Papa away!"

Awww~ Look at her being so cute! I just wanna pat and cuddle her!

Lian Li looked up at me, "Umm… Master?"

Cai Hong quickly hugged my face to stop me from looking at her.

"Mnnn!!! Nooo!! Papa no look!! Big sisters will take Papa away!!"

Oh… Oops. Since this was a sealed space, of course Cai Hong wouldn't know what happened outside so she thinks that they were still fighting.

I mean… All we did here was play the entire time while I gave her pats and cookies and we never bothered to check the outside of our World.

We basically just had a mini vacation here where we worried for nothing and played around every day.

Yep… Just me, Cai Hong and no one else around to disturb us in this little World I made for us.

Honestly this place wasn't that bad at all, maybe I should do this for all my disciples later on.

N0 v el Next. CoM

Cai Hong cuddled her face into my chest, "Papa stay with Cai Hong! Big sisters and Mama bad!"

My disciples seem to be at a loss on what to do so I decided to step in.

"It's alright, Cai Hong, everything is fine now. You don't need to worry anymore."

Unfortunately, that did not calm the little dragon down and I felt her start to bend reality around us just to escape.

Oh look at her, still so small and she's already bending realities!

I was just about to stop her when I noticed that the little Cai Hong on my lap had sprouted wings from her back and a tail had even popped out too.

Oh my! That's a sign that Cai Hong was growing up! Oh how the little ones grow up so fast! Before I knew it, Cai Hong would be an adult soon!

Just look at those cute little wings and that adorable little tail! She's so cute!

Ah.

I was so occupied with thinking about how cute Cai Hong looked and how a grown up version would look that I didn't manage to stop Cai Hong before she warped reality.

The space around us cracked and I found both Cai Hong and I in a different place as compared to before.

She even managed to create her own alternate space?! Ahhhh! My little Cai Hong is such a genius!

"Papa… No leave Cai Hong?" Cai Hong half cried while looking up at me with teary eyes.

Oh my heart…

I hugged her to my chest, "It's ok, Cai Hong. Papa isn't going anywhere, see? Papa is right here, you don't need to worry."

"Papa… Stay with Cai Hong?"

"Yes, that's right. Papa will stay with Cai Hong. But you know your sisters actually--"

"Noo!! Papa stay with Cai Hong! Just Cai Hong… 'Pwease'?"

My heart clenched, "Alright… Alright, Papa stay."

"Cai Hong wuv Papa~"

Soooo cute~

I guess it shouldn't be a problem for me to stay with Cai Hong for just a while longer, just long enough for me to assure her that she don't need to worry about her sisters doing something to me.

(Lian Li POV)

We could only watch in shock as Cai Hong disappeared from our view with Master.

I turned behind me to try and find the other Master who came with us but He was nowhere to be found too.

Surprisingly, that bitch started to giggle uncontrollably behind us.

"What's so funny? You lose your mind or something?" Bait asked with a scowl.

She shook her head, "Ara? No, no… I just find the whole situation hilarious, don't you? Here we are… All of you and myself fighting over our own ideal of Master that we didn't even realise that it was all just a setup made by Master… And then none of us even realised that there was someone else interested in claiming Master for herself and even she managed to lead Master around better than any of us could!"

It took me a moment to understand what she was talking about.

"No way… Are you saying that Cai Hong…"

"That the little dragon was also manipulating Master? That's right. Although what she wanted was to maintain the current Master instead of changing Him."

Diao Chan frowned, "But the way she acted… She was still in her child form…"

"Did you really think her mental capacity would be tied to her physical looks? For her species, the young always inherit the experiences and memories of their ancestors in a constant cycle of rebirth, making that 'little' dragon much older than any of you. No, she's only acting like that because it helps her get closer to Master that way. I can assure you that right now, she's making Master promise to stay with her just a while longer."

Brendan tilted his head, "Then… It'll just be a while longer right? After Cai Hong is satisfied, she'll come back with Master?"

"Ufufufu~ Do you really think she'll do that? There's a reason why dragons are known as hoarders you know? Trust me when I say that Master won't be coming back anytime soon if we were to do nothing."

"Then what are we waiting for?" I cried out while wringing my hands. "Let's go to where they went and take Master back! Then we have to give Cai Hong a good scolding for being such a bad girl!"

The bitch gave me a look of pity which made me remember that I really wanted to slap her face after all.

"It's not as simple as you think. Do you know why none of us even knew about this World she created here until Master showed it to us?"

All of us shook our heads.

"That's because Master did not want us to find it. If Master truly did not want us to find Him, then we will not be able to find Him. Right now, to Him, all of us here are a 'threat' to that little dragon. Thus, Master would want to make sure that this 'threat' does not reach that little dragon either. Haaa… Master truly is beyond even my comprehension."

I narrowed my eyes at her, "You're not saying that there's nothing we can do… Are you?"

"Ara? Do you know me as someone who would give up so easily? We just need to find someone else who can lead us to Master of course."

"Is there anyone like that? If so, who?"

"Ufufufu~ Just a few monsters who have anchored their souls to Master~ I believe you're acquainted with them?"

Oh… Them? I suppose it's been a while since we've heard from them.

I wonder if they even know about what's been going on with Master for the past few days?
