Frightened

When the group arrived at Feng Manor, Feng Jiu took Hao'er back to his room to rest. "Are you still scared?" she asked, seeing his face was still pale. After all, seeing a ferocious beast charging at you, ready to bite, can be terrifying even for an adult, let alone a six-year-old child.

"Mm."

Hao'er said in a soft voice, "Mother, am I useless?" while holding her hand tightly with both hands. Even though he didn't want to be afraid, the scene from before still made him afraid.

"It's all right, Hao'er. You are very good already." She stroked his hand and spoke in a soothing voice, "Good boy, you will feel better after a good night's sleep."

Hao'er closed his eyes obediently. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered the scene when the beast swooped in to bite him. He was so frightened that he opened his eyes again: "Mother, Hao'er is too scared to sleep."
