“Raphael, you go ahead and do your business. Let them stay here and accompany me a bit longer. I will send them away later.”

An Nuo spoke, and naturally, Raphael couldn’t refuse.

In the end, Raphael could only cast a resentful glance at the little brat before leaving the palace.

The child, nestled in An Nuo’s arms, happily clapped his hands upon seeing Raphael’s departure.

“The bad uncle is gone!”

The little child boasted with pride, “No one will snatch Uncle An Nuo from me!”

An Nuo patted the chubby face of the child, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

In the evening, Huo Lin went out for a while.

He had to help Grandpa Ram; his house had been broken into, and now it was in a mess. It needed to be cleaned up properly.

As for the little child, Huo Lin didn’t want him to cause trouble, so he left him with An Nuo.

An Nuo’s palace had an abundant supply of food.

Seeing the chubby child eating with his own eyes for the first time, An Nuo found himself eating more than usual.

“Uncle An Nuo, why do you eat so little?”

The round-bellied child looked at the bowl in front of An Nuo with a bit of worry. “Daddy said that if you don’t eat properly, you’ll get sick.”

Getting sick was very scary; it involved getting painful shots in the butt.

An Nuo set aside his bowl and casually handed a cup of digestive tea to the little child, saying, “I don’t have a big appetite; I can’t eat too much.”

The little child shook his head, disagreeing with this statement.

He gave himself as an example, saying, “Daddy said that I used to only drink one bottle of milk at a time, but later, later I could drink two bottles at once!”

“Eating more meals will make Ningning grow taller.”

The little child gestured with his hands, telling An Nuo that he had already grown very tall.

An Nuo looked at the little radish head, remaining silent about this “growth” claim.

For two consecutive days, the little child spent most of his time by An Nuo’s side. And he wasn’t just being clingy; he genuinely cared about An Nuo’s well-being and took the initiative to supervise his meals.

“Uncle An Nuo, you’re amazing! You took another bite!”

The little child, who was always fed by adults, now finished his own meal and watched An Nuo eat.

The little child didn’t let An Nuo catch up to his own appetite all at once. Every time, he would make An Nuo eat a little more than the last time. It’s for the better.

If An Nuo finished his meal, the little child would clap his hands and shower An Nuo with flattery.

“Oh, Uncle An Nuo, you’re so great! You grew taller again today!” The little child kept showering An Nuo with rainbow farts and praises. (T/N: “Blowing rainbow farts” (吹彩虹屁) is a playful expression used to describe someone who excessively flatters or exaggerates compliments to gain favor or ingratiate themselves with others.)

After the riot on the Sixth Planet was quelled, the communication signals were restored immediately.

The little child managed to contact the adults on White Mist Star. In the video, although he didn’t show the beautiful An Nuo to the adults, he secretly told his father that he was with An Nuo.

The little child didn’t hide anything from his father. He even mentioned An Nuo’s appetite and his not-so-good health.

The little child was quite a chatterbox and provided detailed information.

As Zhan Xi listened, he furrowed his brows. Based on Ningning’s description, he couldn’t help but feel that—

If An Nuo’s health was not good, there might be a problem with his living environment and lifestyle.

Zhan Xi had read many books to raise his little child. In ancient Earth’s books, he had learned that if a child was raised too delicately, it would be easy to raise them poorly.

Although An Nuo was not a child, listening to Ningning’s description, it seemed like he had been raised quite delicately.

Zhan Xi didn’t want to meddle in other people’s affairs, but he couldn’t resist the little child who kept on telling him about this Uncle An Nuo.

After hearing the name many times, Zhan Xi had no choice but to bring up his own parenting experience again: “Let An Nuo gradually increase his food intake. Besides eating more, make him move around more.”

Zhan Xi remotely shared his experience with his the little child, and the little child tried his best to follow his father’s guidance and take care of Uncle An Nuo.

In just a few days, An Nuo’s spirit was noticeably much better than before.

The little child was also satisfied. He believed that if Uncle An Nuo continued to eat more in the future, just like him, eating a lot of food, his body would definitely recover.

“Ningning.”

Although An Nuo’s spirit had improved, he felt a little uneasy. He asked Ningning, “Didn’t you see Raphael today either?”

“No.”

The little child counted on his fingers. “It’s been several days since I saw the bad uncle.”

Upon hearing this, An Nuo pursed his lips.

Raphael had said he would come back after a few busy days. It had already been several days, and even if Raphael was busy, he shouldn’t have been too occupied to spare a moment to see him.

“Ningning, do you know where Raphael is?”

Ningning, who was asked, clearly hesitated for a moment.

He looked at the beloved Uncle An Nuo and, after struggling for a while, couldn’t bear to hide it from him.

“Brother secretly told Ningning that the bad uncle locked himself up.”

As soon as Ningning’s words came out, An Nuo’s heart skipped a beat. He finally understood the source of his unease these past few days.

“Ningning, can you help me find out where Raphael has locked himself?”

The little child nodded.

On that day.

The little child found Raphael’s hiding place for himself. He sneakily discovered this location and worked hard in secret so as not to disappoint his beloved Uncle An Nuo.

“The bad uncle is right here.”

The little child pointed to the room, solemnly reporting to Uncle An Nuo.

An Nuo looked at the room in front of him and knew something was happening inside.

He squatted down, looking at the chubby little child who had led him there, and a faint smile appeared on his pale face. “Ningning, I need to talk to Raphael. Why don’t you go play with your brother, okay?”

“After I finish talking to Raphael, I will come and find you to play.”

After leaving the palace, An Nuo felt somewhat uncomfortable being exposed to the outside environment. His condition, which had been improving, became uncomfortable again.

With such a body, An Nuo was unsure if he could successfully calm Raphael’s restless mental power.

If he failed, it didn’t matter if he accompanied Raphael toward a doomed end.

After all, he had lost all his loved ones in this world.

He only had Raphael left.

Listening to An Nuo soothingly asking him to leave, Ningning stared blankly, and finally nodded obediently.

“Ningning will go.”

Ningning, who said he was going back to find his brother, took a few steps forward. But when An Nuo opened the door, he secretly ran back.

The little child was very sensitive, and An Nuo’s words comforting him to leave made him feel uneasy.

He didn’t want to be a good child anymore. He wanted to follow Uncle An Nuo.

Inside the room.

As An Nuo had anticipated, Raphael, who had been in a state of violent turmoil for several days, seemed to be nearing the end of his strength.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his consciousness was almost completely lost. But in that instant when he saw An Nuo, he still recognized him.

“An Nuo, go outside.”

Raphael stepped back, preventing An Nuo from getting close to him. His hoarse voice sounded like the last whisper of a trapped beast: “Don’t save me, don’t use your mental power...”

He pleaded with An Nuo, almost begging: “Baby, please, don’t save me.”

He could endure it himself, still having a chance to make it through.

But An Nuo couldn’t.

Raphael kept pleading, but An Nuo continued to walk towards him step by step. An Nuo’s footsteps were resolute, and his voice was equally gentle yet firm: “Raphael, don’t be afraid, I’ll be with you.”

“No.”

Raphael roared, “I don’t need you to accompany me, I want you to listen to me and leave this place!”

The commotion in the room frightened the chubby little child, who stumbled at the doorstep.

The sound of the chubby little child falling on the floor diverted the attention of both adults at the same time.

“Uncle An Nuo, don’t cry, okay?”

The chubby little child saw An Nuo’s slightly red eyes and, without caring about rubbing his own knee, ran towards An Nuo and hugged his leg tightly.

An Nuo truly hadn’t expected that this chubby little child wouldn’t leave. He lifted the chubby little child, intending to take him away.

But the chubby little child struggled and refused to leave.

“Don’t take Ningning away.”

The chubby little child reached out and wiped An Nuo’s eyes, feeling a bit anxious. “Uncle An Nuo, Ningning can save the bad uncle. Please don’t cry.”

Just as the little child was speaking to An Nuo, Raphael, who was next to them, couldn’t hold on any longer and fell into a chair.

His consciousness grew hazy, and the fleeting clarity he had managed to summon earlier couldn’t be sustained as time passed.

Although the chubby little child didn’t like the bad uncle, he also knew that if something happened to him, his Uncle An Nuo would be very sad!

For the sake of Uncle An Nuo, Ningning was willing to save the bad uncle.

The little child realized this and immediately wriggled his small body, struggling out of An Nuo’s arms. He took a few steps and ran to Raphael’s side, even climbing onto Raphael’s leg.

After settling on Raphael’s leg, the child cupped Raphael’s face and pressed his forehead against it.

A small, tender sprout quietly emerged.

The healing power permeated the room, and An Nuo, who stood still, felt this familiar mental power, leaving him astonished and dazed.

“Ning, Ningning.”

An Nuo stared directly at the little child, who was touching foreheads with Raphael. His mind was in chaos, with too many thoughts surging at this moment.

He could hardly believe his eyes or trust his judgment.

The little child in front of him, using healing abilities, was a child from their royal family.

No.

Not only was he a child from their royal family, but he was also his sister’s child.

He could recognize the mental power possessed by the child that was the same as the child of his sister.

In a short period of time.

An Nuo went from disbelief to complete certainty. He confirmed Ningning’s identity and confirmed that Ningning was his blood-related relative, his nephew.

“Ningning.”

After watching the little child’s diligent efforts for a while, until he became exhausted and weak, An Nuo walked over, tightly embracing the exhausted little child, his voice trembling, “Uncle finally met you.”

The tired young child, upon hearing these words, had a look of confusion in his bright black eyes.
