An Qing paused and looked back at the bamboo house. She saw the door being pushed open from inside, and a handsome young man walked out. He was dressed in white, with relaxed eyebrows and bright eyes, especially his pair of radiant peach blossom eyes, exactly like Qingshan's.

"A-Ah Xuan?"

An Qing's face was full of disbelief, but unfortunately this expression only lasted for less than three seconds before disappearing without a trace, replaced by cold anger.

An Qing threw the motionless Wang Jue to the ground, still holding Qingshan by the back of his collar. Poor Qingshan's face was purple from being strangled by the collar, and his feet were off the ground. No matter how he struggled and thrashed, he couldn't break free from An Qing's clutches, and cursed An Qing in his heart.

When the young man in white appeared, Hongdeng and Yin'er looked at each other in surprise, and then stopped pestering An Qing to rescue their master. Instead, they ran to the young man and took a fighting stance as if they shared a common enemy.

The young man in white pointed at Qingshan and said to An Qing with an uneasy look on his face, "I told you to let her go, and you're disobeying again?"

An Qing sneered and lifted Qingshan another half a foot higher (Qingshan: Hey, hey, hey, I'm the heroine after all, can you give me some face? An Qing: Who made you so stupid that you didn't follow me to the Tushita Realm! Humph, as soon as your feet leave the ground, the virus will be deactivated. Only smart people can occupy the high ground! Qingshan: ...your sister!)

"If you don't let go, what can you do to me?"

The young man in white seemed to have not expected An Qing to be so uncooperative. The gentle expression on his face cracked, revealing the exasperation hidden underneath: "You - do you still have me as your senior brother in your eyes?"

"Of course there are senior brothers, but there are no fake senior brothers——!"

After saying that, An Qing pinched her fingers together with one hand and quickly struck the young man in white. With a cry of "Ouch", the young man was hit on the chest and collapsed to the ground.

I don't know what magic An Qing used, but after the young master fell to the ground, he shrank visibly. His loose, flowing white shirt deflated, leaving only a small bulge in the middle. The bulge struggled for a long time in the clothes, finally revealing a dark, fluffy head. With big eyes, a round face, and a chubby appearance, it was Ruyi who had been in seclusion for more than two years.

Ruyi looked down at her body, which had returned to that of a five-year-old child, and burst into tears:

"Ah, I finally cultivated to be exactly like my master, but why did I turn back into a little kid again? Wuuuuuu, you big bad guy, you have to compensate me--!"

Hongdeng and Yin'er both sighed. They had thought that Big Boss Ruyi would come out to support them and rescue their master, but they didn't expect that they were beaten back to their original form before they could even make it through a single round. It was so embarrassing!

An Qing snorted, the anger gone from her face, and even a hint of pleasure appeared on her face: "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you, little thing! It seems that Ah Xuan used the method I left behind to help you avoid the thunder tribulation and cultivate into your true form! You are quite promising, and it is worth his love and care for you. But I hate that you have to grow up like Ah Xuan again!"

Ruyi cried so hard that she almost fainted. She sobbed and said, "How, how... did it grow?"

An Qing looked at the fat baby crying so hard that the flesh on his face was shaking, and finally couldn't help laughing: "No need for magic, just grow up like a normal child! You are not allowed to look like Ah Xuan, even if you look like him!"

"Then, then who should I resemble...who should I resemble? Wuwuwu..."

An Qing's eyes were smiling, and no matter how you looked at her, she looked like a fox with bad intentions: "I am the refiner of the medicine bracelet. I am half your father. I will reluctantly allow you to be like me!"

"I, I don't want to look like... like a fox! Ouch!"

As soon as Ruyi finished speaking, she was hit on the forehead by An Qing's magic, like a heavy chestnut. The pain was so severe that she screamed and jumped up high, forgetting to cry.

"You are just like this girl, you don't know what's good for you!"

Tuanzi covered his head with his two chubby hands, glanced at Qingshan, gritted his teeth and said to An Qing:

"You, if you let Shanshan go, I will give you the letter that the master left for you!"

This time An Qing finally obeyed and gently put Qingshan on the ground. Ruyi dragged Bai Yi over and held Qingshan's hand, and Hongdeng Yin'er also shouted "Master" and "Master".
