"If you don't want to freeze, you'd better put on clothes quickly."

Following Sky Shadow's instructions, the two quickly dressed up. Normally, children of this age expect clothes handed to them and meals prepared, but they have learned to do things for themselves at this stage.

"All dressed up." Feng Wu said tearfully.

"Me too."

"Good, next I will lead you out of here. This forest no longer holds any meaning for you. It's time to leave."

"But where exactly are we going?"

"To a place that might be challenging for you." At this moment, instead of looking at Feng Luo and Feng Wu, Sky Shadow gazed into the distance, his words seemingly carrying a depth they couldn't understand.

The two young ones stepped out of the room, and Sky Shadow was the last to leave. Quickly, he tossed the tools they used at their feet, "Don't forget your tools. I won't remind you again."

"I know, but what about our room?"

"That's easy." As he spoke, Sky Shadow waved his arm, and a beam of dazzling light erupted from his palm. This light at the dawn, with the sun not yet risen, was exceptionally brilliant, further capturing Feng Luo and Feng Wu's gaze.

Indeed, it was just a beam of light, and these little ones were not unfamiliar with light. On the contrary, they saw light every day, be it lamps, sunlight, electric light, or various other lights.

But in their understanding, every light source required a tool for use. In other words, to produce light, a tool was necessary. Humans couldn't emit light, or at least in their simple minds, what was happening seemed like a magical and charming trick that attracted their young spirits, making them increasingly curious to delve into the origins of this radiant light and its uniqueness.

Suddenly, Feng Luo and Feng Wu were captivated... They had never seen such a beautiful glow, especially at dawn when the sun hadn't risen yet. It's arguably the coldest time of the day, and Wind Luo and Wind Dance had been woken from their sleep by Sky Shadow. Although they had slept for eight hours, it's undeniable that children's sleep is vastly longer than adults. While it's enough for adults, children may not have had enough rest.

Yet, in this moment, while dreaming, they were forcefully woken by Sky Shadow, having their dreams interrupted, an experience like a disaster in childhood for a few-year-old children.

Not only had they dressed, but after doing so, they ran outside, the coldest time of the day, making the temperature truly low for children.

Hence, when the two kids saw the light, the brightness, they could even vaguely feel the warmth emitted from Sky Shadow's light, unable to take their eyes away.

This feeling was like seeing a lighthouse in the dark, like the girl who strikes a match on Christmas Eve, like wishing upon a shooting star in heartbreak, like Mona Lisa's gentle smile and a faint imagination, like gazing from Olympus at 30,000 meters…

In short, the light appeared too abruptly. The impression these two children held of Sky Shadow remained as an uncle, a strong and invincible strange uncle. After all, to any child, an adult is unbeatable. Despite Sky Shadow never having hit them, scolded them, or threatened them, they inexplicably felt scared upon seeing him, perhaps due to his demeanor.

At least, when facing Sister Iman, they were not afraid. Sometimes, they would bully Aunt Iman in childish ways. Of course, this so-called bullying was in a sense of sourness, sweetness, akin to first love yet familial affection. However, undeniably, if Sister Iman offered them feelings of kinship, reliance, a constant caring presence like a sister, then the feelings Sky Shadow brought were starkly different.

Sky Shadow made them feel in a situation where they couldn't fathom or dare defy.

Take the recent incident of chasing after Iman for instance. The two children didn't understand Sky Shadow's power nor Iman's, but subconsciously knew Sister Iman couldn't possibly be a match against this strange uncle. Hence, after Iman told them about the strange uncle, they became very cautious, very afraid of Sky Shadow, treating him as if he were a villainous boss.

And as the children predicted, it was undeniably the case. That day, Sky Shadow found them—even Aunt Yita couldn't halt his steps. At the time, Iman was swiftly escaping with the children, but they managed to look back, realizing then how terrifying Aunt Yita's power was—at least from her movements, they couldn't discern her speed.

However, their mother's agility was fast too, and Iman's speed was notably slower than their mother's, who was Mengdie. Hence, though the children couldn't gauge Aunt Yita's agility, it didn't mean they didn't understand.
