July 26. Morning.

Emily’s happy voice awakened Richard.

“Father, it’s time to get up and have breakfast. There’s very, very fragrant toast today.”

He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and opened the door. He saw a little centaur with crescent-shaped eyes and a delicate breakfast tray in her hands.

Richard’s mood brightened up when he saw that innocent smile.

He reached out to hold the other party’s delicate face and ruthlessly pinched it a few times. In the end, he looked at the little centaur as she turned her head away angrily and didn’t want to talk to him and laughed.

“Emily, I’ll take you to the desert after breakfast.”

The little centaur’s anger immediately subsided, and its eyes lit up as it looked at him in surprise.

“Really?”

“Of course.”

The little guy immediately became excited after she got his promise. She quickly entered the house and placed the food on the round table. It was like she wanted him to finish it in a second.

Richard ate his breakfast while he played with Emily after he washed up.

The little centaur was angry for a moment and then giggled. A relaxed atmosphere filled the room.

The two got gradually closer over the past few days. Richard did look like he had a daughter.

This little fellow was not only mischievous. She was also very obedient and sensible.

He was not the only one. No one in the entire Twilight City disliked this little centaur.

Richard fulfilled his promise to Emily after the meal.

He left Twilight city with her and went to the god’s ancient tree stationed outside the territory.

He looked at the powerful being that had no trunk. Venomous wasps surrounded the magical tree.

The centaur subconsciously hid behind Richard. Her hands gripped tightly to his shirt.

“Father, I’m afraid…”

Her voice was soft. It was like she was afraid the god’s ancient tree could hear her.

Richard chuckled at the adorable girl.

“Don’t be afraid. The tree roots won’t hurt you.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved. The god’s ancient tree immediately twisted its branches and formed a ladder in front of him.

She was more obedient than anyone else.

Richard climbed up the natural ladder to the top of the tree.

“Emily, follow me.”

The centaur’s eyes immediately lit up when she saw this scene.

“Yes, father…”

First, he carefully took a step forward. He immediately walked up the tree trunk after he made sure there were no problems.

Soon, the two arrived at the top of the tree.

They stood more than 30 meters tall and looked down at the vast desert. Excitement shrouded Emily’s face.

“Father, look at them. They’ve become smaller…

“Look, that’s Uncle Ned. He gave me some delicious bread yesterday.

“The blacksmith shop is there! Big Sister Adele said she would custom-make a beautiful armor for me.”
