Little Taotie cheered.
She wanted to jump up, but her little head was still being held down, so she didn't hop.
Her big eyes were filled with a bewildered light.
The old man laughed out loud, and the hand pressing on her head turned into a gentle pat. He said, "Let's go."
He withdrew his hand, and this time Little Taotie jumped up, cheerfully hopping along.
Hua Jinyan wasn't mentioned by name, but he followed along anyway.
The old man glanced at him lightly, seeing him continue to follow, he shook his head but didn't stop him.
Queen Flower Lady lifted Little Taotie high and placed her on her shoulder, laughing, "You're the tallest, you can see the farthest."
Little Taotie blinked, giggling happily.
The gloomy atmosphere initially intended for exploring the unknown was dispelled by the little girl's laughter, as if the gloom in everyone's hearts was blown away by her laughter.
Little Taotie blinked and looked into the distance.
