Chapter 968 I'll give you an ice rose; you must learn to be brave.

Bo city.

On the small hillside outside the Mu Family Manor.

Little Mu Ningxue sat alone, staring blankly at the moon that seemed so close to her.

Just as she was still lost in thought, a figure several inches taller than her appeared beside her.

Perhaps it was because she could never forget her mother's early death, or perhaps it was because her father, Mu Zhuoyun, was always busy with the family business and rarely paid attention to his daughter.

“Little girl, it’s very dangerous for you to come here alone so late at night.”

Fu Ye sat calmly beside her. Perhaps because he was also a mental magic god, his words could bring a sense of security to others. Therefore, even though Mu Ningxue did not know Fu Ye at all, she was not wary of his sudden appearance.

"Big brother, you came here alone too. Is it because you're not happy either?"

When Mu Ningxue said those words, her face showed a pitiful expression.

Fu Ye reached out and patted Mu Ningxue's head.

"Of course not. I came here simply because I saw a little crybaby squatting here sadly, so I thought I'd come and comfort her."

Upon hearing his words, Mu Ningxue was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly realized that the "little crybaby" he was referring to was her.

"Hmph, I'm not a crybaby, I'm actually very brave!"

Mu Ningxue wiped away the little pearl that had accidentally fallen out with her sleeve, her little face full of stubbornness.

Upon seeing this, Fu Ye thought to himself that Mu Ningxue was just too adorable when she was little.

No wonder the male lead, Mo Fan, is so devoted to Mu Ningxue; who could resist such an adorable girl?

"Courage is not just something you say; it's about having a firm inner resolve, being optimistic, and always looking on the bright side."

Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, Mu Ningxue clenched her two rows of neat little silver teeth tightly.

"They don't just talk the talk; they'll definitely walk the walk!"

Seeing this, Fu Ye thought to himself that this little crybaby was quite strong-willed, but that was also the unique charm of the female lead, Mu Ningxue.

"Yes, yes, I naturally believe everything the little crybaby says."

When Mu Ningxue saw that Fu Ye still called her "little crybaby," all the sad things in her heart were thrown to the winds.

"I'm not a crybaby!"

On the small hillside, Mu Ningxue and Fu Ye lay side by side on the lush grass.

"Big brother, what's your name? Are you a magician?"

Children's world doesn't have so many twists and turns. After chatting with him for a while, she started to ask Fu Ye's name as if they were old friends.

"A magician? I guess so. My name is Fu Ye. You can call me Brother Fu Ye."

"Side hustle...brother?"

Upon hearing Mu Ningxue's words, Fu Ye's eyes twitched slightly.

"Master's 'Fu' (傅), Huo Huaye (火华烨), is not a side job."

"Hehe, they're all the same."

"Hey, don't call me by the wrong name, it's completely different."

"Hehe, Brother Fu Ye is getting anxious!"

"You little rascal"

Time flies, and soon it was completely dark.

"Brother Fu Ye, Xiao Xue has to go home, otherwise Dad will scold her." Mu Ningxue slowly stood up, her gaze towards Fu Ye filled with reluctance.

Perhaps it's because I haven't met someone I can confide in for so long, and I don't know when we'll meet again.

"Xiaoxue, being brave isn't just about saying it; you're not being brave at all right now."

Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, Mu Ningxue's face instantly turned red.

"But, Brother Fu Ye, how can I tell if Xiaoxue has become brave?"

Upon seeing this, Fu Ye immediately used ice magic to condense a very exquisite ice rose in his hand.

Mu Ningxue's big eyes were filled with curiosity and surprise when she saw this scene.

"Consider this ice rose a gift from me. When you can completely melt it, you will become a truly brave and strong person in my heart."

Mu Ningxue carefully took the ice rose from Fu Ye's hand, afraid of accidentally breaking it.

Little Mu Ningxue had no idea that this ice rose was comparable to a top-grade Heavenly Seed.

Furthermore, Fu Ye placed numerous restrictions on it, making it impossible for anyone other than Mu Ningxue to cause any damage. Spatial magic was also inscribed on it to prevent thieves from stealing it.

"Thank you, Brother Fu Ye!"

Mu Ningxue was overjoyed to receive the ice rose. Although she had only spent a little over an hour with Fu Ye, she trusted him from the bottom of her heart.

"Alright, go home and rest early, don't keep your father and the others waiting anxiously."

"Uh-huh!"

At the Mu family mansion, Mu Zhuoyun's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he saw the exquisitely crafted ice rose in Mu Ningxue's hand.

He then turned his gaze to his daughter, Mu Ningxue.

"Ning Xue, what is this flower in your hand?"

However, before Mu Zhuoyun could ask anything more, Mu Ningxue hid the little flower in her hand behind her back.

"I won't show it to Father, it was given to me by Brother Fu Ye!"

Mu Zhuoyun's lips twitched slightly after hearing his beloved daughter's words.

Fu Ye, or Brother Fu Ye?

Whose brat is this? How dare he try to take advantage of my little cabbage!

"My dear daughter, did the ice rose in your hand make it for you by that brother Fu Ye you mentioned?"

Hearing her father's words, Mu Ningxue, who had no ill intentions, stood tall and proud.

"Of course! This little flower was made by Brother Fu Ye himself. He even said that if I have the ability to melt it, then Brother Fu Ye will acknowledge me as a brave and strong person!"

Mu Ningxue's words still carried a hint of childishness, but Mu Zhuoyun was quite surprised when Mu Ningxue said that the ice flower was made for her by the brother Fu Ye she mentioned.

That's quite intriguing.

After all, a mage capable of creating such a perfect ice flower must be at least a mid-level mage.

No, he wanted to test his precious daughter again.

"My dear daughter, how old is this Brother Fu Ye you mentioned? What does his family do?"

Hearing her father's words, Mu Ningxue was somewhat perplexed.

After all, she didn't know either of those things.
However, after recalling Fu Ye's appearance, she said directly, "Brother Fu Ye should be ten years old this year. He's super handsome. Although he often makes people angry, people really can't bring themselves to dislike him." (End of Chapter)
