Thinking of this, the last trace of absurdity and restraint in Yun You's heart completely dissipated. She straightened her back, and the confidence born of strength intertwined with the complex emotions she had towards Deng, forming a unique aura.
She was no longer a little girl looking up to legends but had become a new character in this grand tale.
Deng seemed to sense the subtle change in Yun You's mindset. A barely noticeable look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and the curve of her lips deepened.
She lazily leaned back in her chaise longue, her tail tip swaying comfortably, and waved at the Maid Chief serving the Master of All Changes.
"Alright, little Yun You is acquainted now. Are the snacks ready? Bring over the chess set. I want to have a game with my daughter."
At this, Yun You was momentarily taken aback. She wanted to say she couldn't play, but seeing Deng's playful spirit was high, she didn't know how to refuse and could only sit down as invited.
