Zuo Yi took out the gifts he had prepared beforehand and gave them to the Bao'er and Xia Yunqi.
The gifts were bought in St. Delin. They were exquisite toys made by the local craftsmen. He didn't favor one over the other and bought a set for each of the two girls. The only difference was that the colors were different.
Zuo Yi still felt pity for his little disciple Xia Yunqi.
This little girl from the royal family was very similar to the Bao'er he had just picked up from Angel Baby. She was a little introverted and timid, but she was so well-behaved that it made one's heart ache.
The current Bao'er was much more lively under Zuo Yi's pampering. She would do some naughty and weird things from time to time.
Xia Yunqi was very happy to receive the gifts. "Thank you, Master."
The Bao'er expressed her gratitude in a simpler way. She directly kissed Zuo Yi's face.
Zuo Yi chuckled and felt very comforted.
"Oh right …"
He remembered something. "How's your practice of the paper cranes going?"
When he left home last time, Zuo Yi told the two girls to practice more in this area to train their ability.
The Bao'er immediately gave Xia Yunqi a look: Qiqi, it's up to you!
Xia Yunqi opened her schoolbag and took out some folded paper cranes and placed them on the tea table.
There were 12 in a row.
Xia Yunqi put her hands together and supported her chin with two index fingers. She stared at the paper cranes in front of her.
The next moment, a pink paper crane flapped its wings and flew up. Then a second one, a third one, a fourth one …
In less than a minute, all 12 paper cranes flew up and danced around her and the Bao'er. They inadvertently shook off a faint glow.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Yi nodded with satisfaction.
In less than a week, the number of paper cranes that Xia Yunqi could control had increased from five to twelve. Moreover, the flexibility and proficiency of her control had greatly increased. Obviously, she had worked very hard during this period.
Most importantly, her talent in the field of puppetry was truly outstanding. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly.
On the other hand, Zuo Yi also sensed a dense aura of nature from the paper cranes that Xia Yunqi controlled. It was equivalent to adding a layer of buff to them, giving these lifeless origami some kind of spirituality.
This was obviously Bao 'er's handiwork.
Both of them were pretty good!
"Not bad."
Zuo Yi clapped his hands and encouraged them, "You're all great."
He asked Xia Yunqi to put away all the paper cranes. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll teach you how to fold puppies."
Puppeteering was a skill that Puppeteers had to master. Only by making puppets with their own hands could a Puppeteer display their full strength. Origami was the most basic part of puppeteering.
Although it was the most basic of the basics, origami also contained a lot of skills and knowledge. A brilliant Puppeteer could play origami to perfection and derive all kinds of uses.
When Zuo Yi was adventuring in the world of Sadeya, he had learned some puppeteer skills from the Puppeteer in his team, including origami. Later on, he became a rune master, and his handcrafting skills were even more powerful.
"Yay!"
Bao 'er was very happy. She immediately pulled Xia Yunqi to the living room and brought over a small stool.
The two little guys sat side by side in front of the tea table, happily learning new origami from Zuo Yi.
Zuo Yi put away the tea set on the tea table, took out the paper used for origami, and gave it to Bao 'er and Xia Yunqi.
This time, he taught the two little girls how to fold Night Watchdogs.
Night Watchdogs were also origami, but they were different from Paper Cranes. The latter was just an ordinary origami. Although it could be given the ability to fly by a Puppeteer like Xia Yunqi, it could only be used for training.
Night Watchdogs were the creation of Puppeteers. Its folding method was much more complicated than Paper Cranes, and the finished product had more functions.
Night Watchdogs could fold a lot. After receiving the power of a Puppeteer, they could act as guards, guarding against thieves and assassins at night. That was why they were called "Night Watchdogs".
Not everyone could fold Night Watchdogs successfully. Although it was not necessary for a Puppeteer to fold one, if one didn't have intelligence and understanding, even if they folded it thousands of times, it would be impossible to fold a real Night Watchdog.
Zuo Yi taught Xia Yunqi how to fold Night Watchdogs because he wanted to see her potential and talent.
Bao 'er was just a byproduct.
Just as Zuo Yi was teaching the two little girls how to fold paper, the courtyard door was opened from the outside.
Fang Yonghe walked in with big and small bags.
"Ah!"
Seeing Zuo Yi, she couldn't help but be startled. She immediately complained, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I wanted to buy more food."
"It's fine."
Zuo Yi smiled. "Just eat whatever you have. No need to go through so much trouble."
Fang Yonghe asked with concern, "Did everything go well?"
Zuo Yi nodded. "It went very well."
"Great-aunt!"
The two little girls greeted her together.
"En."
Fang Yonghe smiled and rubbed their heads. "You must be hungry. Great-aunt will go and cook now."
Although the dinner wasn't very sumptuous, Fang Yonghe's cooking was excellent.
For Zuo Yi, the warm feeling of eating with his loved ones was more important than anything else.
After dinner, Bao 'er and Xia Yunqi continued to learn how to fold Night Watchdogs from Zuo Yi.
Although the two little girls were very smart, it wasn't that easy to fold Night Watchdogs. They practiced dozens of times, but in the end, the things they folded were all different. There was no possibility of them being "awakened".
Zuo Yi told them not to be anxious and to practice slowly. As long as they had talent, practice makes perfect.
At around eight o 'clock, Xia Yunqi was taken away. Bao' er also went to take a bath and sleep.
At night, Zuo Yi accompanied her.
Looking at the little girl lying on the bed, Zuo Yi touched her face. "Baby …"
"En?"
Bao 'er blinked.
Zuo Yi smiled. "Baby, Daddy is going to find your Mommy. What do you think?"
"Mommy?"
Bao 'er asked softly. "Is she the same as Aunt Qing?"
Although Chen Wan had changed back to her own name, the little girl was still used to using the original name.
"No …"
Zuo Yi said softly, "Mommy is different from your Aunt Qing. Daddy and Mommy gave birth to you together."
Bao 'er asked, "Then, then why isn't Mommy with me?"
"The reason is complicated …"
Zuo Yi said, "Daddy will tell you when you grow up, okay?"
Bao 'er said obediently, "En."
Zuo Yi smiled. "Daddy is going to find your Mommy tomorrow."
Bao 'er was a little reluctant. "You're going out again?"
"Soon."
Zuo Yi promised. "Daddy will find Mommy soon."
"En."
Bao 'er closed her eyes.
Zuo Yi lowered the brightness of the table lamp and sat by the bed, watching her fall asleep.
He sighed in his heart.
