To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that little Hu Tao is still young—and the old uncle has now truly become an old uncle—otherwise, this scene would look exactly like the classic trope of a blond bastard sleeping with the family's granddaughter, only for the father-in-law to come catch him in the act.
The most important part is that this blond bastard has hooked up with more than just one granddaughter!
"Cid has woken up?" Cloud Retainer, who had transformed into human form, pushed open the room door. It was obvious that Cloud Retainer was quite worried about the old uncle Cid. With nothing else to do, she had directly taken human form and visited the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor the very next day.
Great. Look at little Shenhe beside him, staring at him. Clearly, the blond bastard's messy affairs have now been caught by the aunt as well.
Then what does that make little Eula in this situation? She should count as the good little sister that the blond bastard adopted...
Damn, the scene is getting a bit chaotic. This drama is huge.
Oh no! I woke up from a nap! As the blond villain who messed around, I've been caught red-handed by the father-in-law and the aunt!
His brain was a little muddled. The old uncle instinctively hugged little Hu Tao a bit tighter.
First of all, everyone here is either a child or a middle-aged person. Secondly, the old uncle Cid isn't blond—he has black hair.
Anyone who can twist this into something perverted should be lined up and shot, every last one of them.
After his consciousness cleared, the old uncle sat up while holding little Hu Tao. "Good morning, Hall Master Hu. How many days have I been asleep?"
"Old uncle, you slept for ten days! You slept for a super long time!"
Feeling little Hu Tao's playful energy, the old uncle smiled and nodded.
"No wonder I feel so starving. So I haven't eaten for ten days. Hall Master Hu, by the way, does the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor provide meals now?"
"Yes, Cid. Over at the Bubu Pharmacy, they've prepared medicinal porridge for you."
Only after confirming that Cid's condition was now simply physical weakness did Hall Master Hu feel relieved and leave the room.
Then little Hu Tao started bouncing around excitedly. "Old uncle! You have to remember to rest and recuperate during this time, okay? For the ten days you were sleeping, big sister Eula, big sister Shenhe, and I were all so worried about you!"
"Mm-hmm..." The old uncle nodded.
He reached out and patted the head of little Shenhe, who had been quietly watching him the whole time without speaking, though her eyes were filled with concern.
Then he looked at little Eula, who was still in a deep sleep.
"This child was extremely worried about you. She was the one taking care of you at night. If this immortal hadn't used some methods, this child probably wouldn't have slept at all. As it is now, she should sleep straight through the entire night."
Cloud Retainer said this while reaching out to place her hand on the old uncle's wrist, then nodded.
"Very good. The death energy has almost completely dissipated. From now on, you just need to slowly do some rehabilitation training."
Clearly, Cid's condition—aside from having aged ten years—had no additional effects.
"Thank you for your concern, Cloud Retainer. Speaking of which, what are your plans after this, Cloud Retainer?"
"What plans could there be? After confirming you're safe, this immortal will take Shenhe back to the adepti gates to continue her training. Also, before—you told Shenhe that you wanted to touch this immortal's feathers?"
Looking at the stern gaze coming from an elder, and then thinking about this elder's care for him, the old uncle was completely honest.
"Yes. I think the feathers on Cloud Retainer must feel very nice to touch."
And the result was unexpected—Cloud Retainer appeared very confident.
"You have good taste. This immortal has already placed some feathers that were shed in past years into your Vision. There's enough there to make a full set of clothes."
"Really!? Thank you, Cloud Retainer!" The old uncle first went along with Cloud Retainer's desire to show off.
Then he checked his Vision.
Wait—these feathers that can be made into clothes...
Based on the old uncle's understanding of the clothes worn by Cloud Retainer, Ganyu, and Shenhe...
Mm, one set of clothes divided into two sets.
If the old uncle were a 1.5-meter-tall little loli, the material would be just perfect.
Unfortunately, the old uncle is a man over 1.8 meters tall.
No big problem. Being able to rub Cloud Retainer's feathers is already amazing!
I love Cloud Retainer!
