The magpie's heart was completely melted by the little guy's adorable voice and soft lips, and it didn't care about being dirty at all.

Overwhelmed with love, she immediately cast a cleansing spell on the little guy and herself, took out a small wooden basin, put a soft little cushion inside, placed the little guy in the basin, and then piled a bunch of snacks and pastries that Ji Fengyao had made in the past into the little guy's arms.

"Come here, Little Thirteen, Auntie is treating you to something delicious. It was all made by my young lady and your master. It's so good!" Xi Que pinched Little Thirteen's soft, chubby cheeks. Her usually loud voice was now so soft it could melt your heart.

"Hehe, thank you, thank you, auntie," Little Thirteen didn't hold back her smiles, acting cute and charming to the fullest.

Anyway, he's a kid, and acting cute and charming is a kid's prerogative, it's not shameful!

Ji Fengyao is busy with her career.

Although she never let Xiao Shisan go hungry in terms of staple food, she certainly didn't give him many snacks.

Ji Fengyao used to think that since Xiao Shisan was not even three years old, she was too afraid to feed him those random things.

But she overlooked one fact:

Xiao Shisan is a three-year-old child who is a Spiritualist (a cultivator in the Spirit Gathering stage is also called a Spiritualist in the mortal realm).

This is not an ordinary three-year-old child.

Xiao Shisan's intelligence, comprehension, and learning abilities are three to four times higher and faster than those of ordinary children.

So, little Thirteen, who is not even three years old, already knows what he can and cannot eat, and he will never choke.

Just then, the magpie gave Little Thirteen a bunch of delicious food, and Little Thirteen was naturally overjoyed. Ji Fengyao then realized her oversight and felt guilty towards Little Thirteen.

She ultimately lacked experience in breastfeeding and neglected to take good care of Little Thirteen.

Little Thirteen is so smart, and she's growing up a bit; there are things she needs to improve and pay attention to.

Otherwise, if a promising seedling's growth is slowed down or it grows crooked because of her negligence, it would be her fault.

Since she had promised Consort Nie to take Xiao Shisan as her apprentice, she had to fulfill her responsibilities as both a teacher and a mother.

Lu Yang and Zhuang Shaoze realized that the little boy was the young lady's apprentice, and they both came over to tease Little Thirteen for a while.

Little Thirteen was getting impatient. Clutching a pastry in his chubby little hand, he pointed at his master, who was digging for spirit stones, and gestured to the others, saying in a cute but fierce tone, "Dig...dig..."

Lu Yang and Zhuang Shaoze burst into laughter:

"Pfft, hahaha, you little rascal, you're so young and you already know how to supervise!"

"That's so clever!"

"My little thirteen is so cute!" Xique praised proudly, ruffled the little thirteen's fluffy hair, and coaxed, "Okay, Auntie will go dig for spirit stones to store up cultivation resources for little thirteen, okay?"

"Auntie... hello..." Facing the magpie, Little Thirteen was very perceptive and treated it differently, smiling sweetly.

Lu Yang and Zhuang Shaoze: "..."

I feel a bit withdrawn.

They sensed the indifference that comes with being a gifted child from this little baby.

An Zijin, however, was filled with schadenfreude:

Finally, I'm not the only one being looked down upon by this little baby. It feels so good!

Before long, the group dug through the deep pool, and a large amount of icy water poured into the mine shaft.

Ji Fengyao quickly cast a bubble-shaped barrier around Xiao Shisan, along with the basin, so that he could float steadily without being submerged.

After that, she called on An Zijin and Lu Yang, and the three of them worked together to set up an even larger waterproof barrier.
