Chapter 109

The addition to the phrase "祝" means "blessing" or "wish".

Moon Shadow frowned.

Why does this sound so familiar? Where have I heard it before?

As she finished speaking her blessing, Lingwu bent down, her intricate skirt about to touch the ground with this movement.

But it was then reverently picked up by a pair of clean, white hands.

May you gaze intently at the magnificent fabric in your hands.

"You can't get your sister's dress dirty."

Ling Wu looked down and saw that the little boy's face was flushed, and his lowered eyelashes covered his eyes.

Unable to see the color in his eyes, Lingwu slightly raised her lips and said, "Thank you."

A smile appeared on Zhu Yuan's face, but quickly disappeared before he lowered his head, his ears turning bright red.

Like a child who has never been praised before, experiencing the excitement of receiving a reward for the first time.

"No, you're welcome." He quickly shook his head.

Ling Wu gazed at him. "Would you like to come with me?"

A seemingly insignificant sentence caused Zhu Yuan to freeze in place. He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"But I... I don't know anything else besides begging, and they're very powerful. Once they find out I'm alright, they definitely won't let me go. I'll be a burden to my sister..."

He hesitated and shook his head, his eyes moist, hesitant yet determined.

Yueying frowned slightly. "How old are you? Why would I need you to do anything? And if those people dare to come, I'll make sure they regret it!"

Zhu Yuan seemed startled by the moonlight and awkwardly hid behind Ling Wu before timidly saying:

"I am twelve years old."

"Only 12...?" Yueying blinked, then paused.

No, human lifespan is only a few decades. Twelve years old is already considered a teenager!

But this little brat named Zhuyuan looks to be only ten years old.

“We are new to Qi Kingdom and are still lacking a guest master. Would you be willing?” Ling Wu reached out and touched his forehead with her slender fingertips.

Zhu Yuan stared blankly at her, and finally nodded shyly.

Aside from knowing that his name was "Zhu Yuan," he had no memories of his past. He only knew that he woke up at the foot of the mountain two years ago and stayed there alone for a long time.

Until a man fell from the sky, and a woman appeared there.

Only then did he have the opportunity to follow them and leave.

After leaving the mountain, one arrives at the Kingdom of Qi.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but secretly measure the distance between himself and Ling Wu out of the corner of his eye.

I don't want to be too far away from her, but I also don't dare to get too close.

Ling Wu turned to look at him, smiling gently, "Xiao Yuan, come here."

Wishing for a moment of brightness in his eyes, he obediently responded, his fair and delicate face flushed with a blush, making him look very cute.

"Sister." He walked a few steps to Ling Wu's side.

Do you still remember your family?

Lingwu gently rubbed the top of his head; her hands were soft, and his soul seemed just as docile.

So sweet and gentle...

It looks like a defective product.

Zhu Yuan became even more cautious after hearing this, her voice tinged with nervousness, "I'm sorry, sister, I don't have any memories from before..."

He shook his head, nervously twisting the hem of his clothes with one hand.

"No need to apologize, I was just asking casually," Ling Wu reassured her, her eyes gentle.

Yueying felt a pang of sadness, but said nothing.

There must be something wrong with this blessing, otherwise the Immortal Venerable wouldn't waste his time on this brat.

He was already incredibly fortunate to be able to descend to the mortal realm with the Celestial Venerable; he couldn't let his own actions hinder the Celestial Venerable's plans.

that is……

The Immortal Venerable hasn't even called him by his childhood name yet.

——

"Immortal Lord, look at this delicious food from the mortal realm! It's so sweet and sour, and I've heard that girls in the mortal realm love to eat it." Yueying said excitedly, carrying a whole skewer of candied hawthorns.

Ling Wu leaned down and looked down. "Where are we now?"

Looking down, Yueying's beautiful peach blossom eyes held a hint of hesitation. "Isn't this the roof of that pretentious woman's house?"

Look at Yueying's flamboyant manner as she carries a whole string of bright red gourds.

Ling Wu sighed softly, "So you're afraid others won't see? And why did you buy so many?"

The moonlight seemed to snap back to reality.

Being with the Immortal Venerable always makes him forget about important matters. He hurriedly stuffed the huge pile of candied hawthorns into his Qiankun Ring, a faint blush of embarrassment appearing on his face.

The next moment, she lowered her head and readily admitted her mistake: "It was because I was too arrogant and forgot that I should be careful in front of mortals."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I bought so much because I don't know if the Immortal Venerable will like to eat it. If he does, he can eat it when we return to the Upper Realm..."

Because he was looking down, his voice sounded muffled.

Ling Wu did not reply.

Seeing this, Xiaobai crouched down on all four hooves in front of Lingwu.

The big black dog tilted its head back, its eyes clear and bright, and its tilted head made it look very cute and endearing.

Lingwu patted Xiaobai's head, then turned to Yueying, who was sniffing, and said with a smile, "Where's your attitude of biting fairies, you little fairy servant?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Xiao Bai paused in her coquettish act, then continued to tilt her head as if she didn't understand.

Moon Shadow, sniffling, also suddenly paused, just like everyone else.

After a short while, he said weakly, "That's because men and women shouldn't touch each other, so I resorted to this tactic to keep them away..."

The storybooks say that once a man has someone he loves, he can no longer have contact with other women, otherwise the woman he loves will dislike him!

He can't be disliked by Lady Meng Po!

Thinking of this, he tentatively whispered, "Immortal Venerable is Meng..."

"Shhh."

Ling Wu extended her index finger and placed it an inch away from the corner of his lips, stopping him from saying anything more.

Moon Shadow stared at the fair, jade-like fingertips before her and immediately fell silent.

He tried to suppress all unspeakable emotions and calm his mind, but his entire being was occupied by the woman's cool fragrance.

Lingwu didn't want to guess his thoughts. When she withdrew her finger and probed below, Lingwu frowned slightly.

An aura suddenly appeared in Luo Suyi's room.
