Chapter 67

"Yes." Jiang Mingyan held the chubby child in his arms, his handsome features gently smiling, like green pines and bamboos, standing tall and proud. "We saw it."

Sui Sui lifted up his fat feet with a little pride.

Back then, in the secret realm outside of Xihua Town, golden light shot out from a desolate palace nearby, bringing Suisui and her brother into a strange fantasy world lost in the eons.

In that illusion, Sui Sui and his brother saw A Niang's tribesmen.

Oh, by the way, A Niang’s people!

Suisui raised her round little face, looked at the gilded spiritual pattern on her brother's forehead, and then looked at the solemn and majestic palace complex not far away. Suddenly she remembered why she felt that the palace looked familiar. Her little pride faded away, and her little brows were tangled again.

"Brother..." the little fat kid murmured, his small, soft, chubby fingers reaching out to gently touch the smooth yet subtly sharp spiritual pattern on his brother's forehead. "We all have this. The white-clothed man in the illusion also has it on his forehead. What about Mother's? Is she hiding it?"

"Perhaps." Jiang Mingyan let Sui Sui's chubby hand caress his forehead and said calmly, "There are many magical arts in the world. Mother is so clever. Perhaps she used some method we don't know to cover it up."

"Oh." The little fat boy puffed out his cheeks, still looking a little unhappy.

Jiang Mingyan raised his hand and lightly tapped Sui Sui's forehead with his fingertips: "Not only my spiritual pattern is revealed, but Sui Sui's is also revealed."

"Woo?" The little fat boy was a little curious. He quickly grabbed his brother's finger, which was about to leave after pointing, and stole a glance at his brother.

Seeing his brother letting him do what he wanted, the little guy moved around stealthily like a kitten stealing dried fish, burying his chubby little body deeper into his brother's arms: "Brother, Sui Sui wants to see it too~"

Jiang Mingyan lowered his eyes and looked at the white and plump glutinous rice ball.

The little fellow was already adorable, and now there was a lively and mysterious gilded spiritual pattern painted on his forehead, with a little cinnabar on it as the finishing touch, making the little fellow look even more innocent. At this moment, he was begging with his baby voice, and even a heart of stone would soften a little, let alone Jiang Mingyan, who had always indulged and doted on Sui Sui?

He sighed helplessly, his tone soft: "Brother, can I still refuse you?"

The little fat cub had an expression of "I know it" and then smiled proudly and cutely, like some furry little animal shaking its head because of its firm preference, cute and quirky.

Jiang Mingyan rubbed Sui Sui's soft hair, pinched his fingers to summon the water mirror, and let the little guy come over, holding his chubby cheeks and admiring himself happily.

After Sui Sui had fully admired her own adorable figure by twisting and turning, she waved her little hand and said rather domineeringly, "Sui Sui has finished looking!"

Jiang Mingyan suppressed a smile and put away the water mirror: "Can Sui Sui go with brother to take a look inside the palace now?"

"Okay!" Sui Sui said happily with a messy head of soft hair.

When Jiang Mingyan woke up, the first thing he felt was the familiar soft touch in his arms.

It’s every year.

He breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Sui Sui tightly, was alert to his surroundings, and opened his eyes.

A big black dog was sleeping not far from him and Sui Sui. Jiang Mingyan walked over with Sui Sui in his arms, then he looked carefully at the eye-catching palace behind him.

He quickly remembered why this palace complex looked familiar, but he did not immediately go over to investigate. Instead, he waited there for Dahei and Suisui to wake up.

It was also during this period that Jiang Mingyan discovered something.

Thinking about this, Jiang Mingyan walked towards the palace complex and chuckled, "Sui Sui, guess where we are now?"

"Huh?" The little fat boy was confused, his round dark eyes twinkling, like a beautiful little star sneaking into the mortal world under the cover of the night sky: "On... on the island?"

Recalling the story he had heard at the Tianyan City Inn, the little fat boy couldn't help but become more certain: "We flowed along the river into the Meteoric Sea! And then, the storm at sea blew us to the island!"

The little fat boy even took the initiative to fill in all the details.

Jiang Mingyan listened with a gentle smile on his lips, and did not comment for the time being.

Seeing that his brother didn't respond, Sui Sui was a little confused, with a bewildered look on his face, so he poked his furry head out to look at the big black dog that was following them almost closely.

"Woof woof woof!" The big black dog immediately whined in agreement, swinging its black tail leisurely.

"Sui Sui's idea is great." Knowing that if he didn't say anything, the little fat boy would be angry and his fur would explode into a fat ball, Jiang Mingyan spoke slowly: "But Sui Sui is wrong. We are now at the bottom of the sea."

"Ah?" Suisui's little mouth opened into a circle.

"Woof!" The big black dog, who always hated water, ran a few steps faster and jumped forward, getting closer to Jiang Mingyan.

"How is that possible?" The little fat boy was puzzled: "Sui Sui is a human, huh..."

Thinking of his mother, the little fat boy changed his words seriously: "Sui Sui is half human, not a fish, how can he be underwater? And he's not drowning at all now!"

"...Could it be that my mother is a fish?!" The little fat boy thought of a possibility, and his big round eyes suddenly opened even wider.

Jiang Mingyan was stunned by the little guy's guess, and his phoenix eyes showed some helplessness: "What are you thinking? How could my mother be a fish?"

"How can it be impossible?" Sui Sui was unconvinced and muttered softly, "We are all underwater. Maybe my mother is the fish!"

"In this case, brother is a bigger fish, and Suisui is a smaller fish."

Looking at the chubby little boy who had accepted the fact that 'Aniang is a fish' and had taken the initiative to arrange identities for them, Jiang Mingyan sighed.

He pinched the chubby little cheek and said with amusement and helplessness, "Sui Sui accepts it quickly."

"Of course~" the little fat boy said proudly: "No matter what, brother will be with Sui Sui~"

"So, it doesn't matter if it's fish. Sui Sui, follow your brother, and let's go eat shrimp together!"

Jiang Mingyan's chest swelled, and his heart seemed to be soaked in hot spring water, or as if it had turned into a pool of soft water, without a trace of coldness.

"You~" He tapped the tip of the little fat boy's nose, his tone was indescribably gentle: "Why are you so well-behaved and so lovable?"

Sui Sui became even more proud, his little chin raised in a smug arc: "That's it!"

"Come, Suisui, touch it. This is a barrier." Jiang Mingyan stopped not far from the side of a palace at the edge of the palace complex with a smile on his face, and motioned Suisui to reach out and touch it.

Suisui then discovered that in this space, only the palace complex and the surrounding white jade square emitted a bright and lustrous light, and outside was pitch black.

Suisui had just woken up in the White Jade Square. Enshrouded in light, Suisui's attention was drawn to the striking palace complex, and she naturally overlooked any inconvenience.

At this moment, the little fat cub stretched out his fat paws and poked at his brother, looking at him in surprise: "Really?"

"It's the barrier that's blocking the seawater, so we're fine and not feeling uncomfortable at all." Sui Sui concluded, "So Sui Sui isn't a small fish..."

It sounds like the little guy is a little regretful.

"Yes, Sui Sui is not a little fish." Jiang Mingyan laughed, turned around and carried the little fat boy towards the palace behind him: "Sui Sui is the cutest and smartest child."

The cutest and smartest kid laughed.

"It's the little spirit tribe!" The moment Sui Sui and Jiang Mingyan entered the palace, a strange voice sounded out of nowhere.

The next moment, a large amount of abundant spiritual power swarmed in, enveloping Sui Sui and Jiang Mingyan, and even forming a huge spiritual power vortex.

"Woof woof!" The big black dog was blocked outside the temple by spiritual power and barked rapidly.

In the center of the spiritual power vortex, Suisui and his brother were lifted up in the air by the spiritual power.

Slowly, as the spiritual power became stronger and stronger, Sui Sui also floated out from his brother's arms.

The little fat boy looked at his brother's closed eyes and couldn't help shouting, "Brother!"

"Stop shouting, that little elf is absorbing spiritual power." The previous strange voice sounded again.

"Then how come Suisui is okay? Suisui is also in the vortex?" Looking at his brother's calm face, the little fat boy frowned.

Sui Sui can feel it! There is also spiritual energy entering Sui Sui's body!

Very comfortable and warm.

The little fat boy thought seriously.

"Yes, there's a little elf here..." the strange voice muttered, "Let me see..."

Every year he tilts his head.

I understand it every year!

No wonder the sound sounded weird.

Its voice sounds very old, like an old man in his twilight years, but its tone is as lively as a child. The two together are incompatible and inevitably make people feel uncomfortable.

"It's a pure spirit!" the voice exclaimed. "Pure spirit! Pure spirit!"

"What is a pure spirit?" Although Sui Sui was confused, he was more concerned about his brother: "Is my brother okay? When will he wake up?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I woke up after absorbing the spiritual energy!" The strange voice had completely attracted the attention of the pure spirit. After saying it perfunctorily, it circled Sui Sui and asked, "Little spirit, what's your name? I've never seen you before. You are a pure spirit!"

Although the strange voice gave a perfunctory answer about his brother, Sui Sui instinctively knew it was telling the truth, so he didn't mind continuing the conversation. "What is a pure spirit? Who are you? Why are Sui Sui and my brother called the Little Spirit Clan?"

"What is a pure spirit? A pure spirit is a pure spirit!" The strange voice spoke to itself, and then answered another question: "Who am I? I am..."

"I am a weapon spirit! A weapon spirit! I am the weapon spirit of Mirror Flower and Water Moon!"

Mirror flowers and water moons...

I pondered it year after year and came up with some guesses.

Seeing that the spirit of the weapon didn't respond for a long time, Sui Sui expressed his guess: "This palace is called Mirror Flower Water Moon?"

"It's the Spirit Tribe! You're still so young, the Spirit Tribe... that's the Little Spirit Tribe!" The weapon spirit then shouted loudly: "Little Spirit Tribe! Little Spirit Tribe!"

The little fat boy sighed: "Don't shout——"

The spirit of the weapon calmed down.

"Sui Sui asks one question and you answer one, okay?" Sui Sui lay in mid-air, holding her chin with her little hands and shaking her little feet, earnestly asking the spirit of the weapon for its opinion.

"Okay, okay, the little spirits asked, and I will answer!" said the spirit of the weapon happily.

"This is a mirror image."

"right!"

"Sui Sui and brother are spirits?"

"right!"

"How can we leave?"

"You can leave when you grow up!"

Sui Sui had just asked a few questions when suddenly, the vortex of spiritual power stagnated.

The little fat cub flapped his arms and legs and used the Yingxue Vine to avoid being smashed into a pieces.

The cub lay on the Yingxue vine and looked at his brother.

The spiritual pattern on my brother's forehead became brighter and brighter, and the spiritual power around his body surged, like a dormant ferocious beast.

"It's time to advance." The weapon spirit appeared again and said quietly, "The little spirits should consume more spiritual energy so that they can grow faster."
