Xiao Si looked at her, and his face was clearly reflected in her pupils.
At that moment, he was the only one in her eyes.
Lowering her eyes, Xiao Si whispered, "I won't tell you."
Sisi's bright eyes dimmed instantly, her little mouth drooped, and she complained with great dissatisfaction, "How could you even tease your senior sister? It's so annoying."
"I'm not playing games with you. I'll tell you after I've been through this experience."
"Really? Then let's pinky swear."
The little one stretched out her hand in front of him, her chubby little hand like a little dumpling. Xiao Si hooked her fingers together, and the familiar touch made the corners of his eyes curve slightly.
"I'm not lying to you."
Soon it was time for the trial. The Three Pure Ones brought their disciples to the Spirit Immortal Tree, and Wen Yuan opened the door to the Spirit Fruit's inner Mirror.
"Sisi, this training is fraught with danger. You must not be impatient for quick success. If you are in danger, call your master immediately and your master will save you."
Yuqing, feeling sorry for his disciple, secretly gave her a communication jade, just in case, so he could rescue Sisi Xiaobao in time.
Sisi smiled and kissed him on the cheek, whispering, "Thank you, Master. Sisi loves Master the most."
"Don't you love me?" Wen Yuan said indifferently, "Then return what I gave you."
"No way! If you want it, you want it. Don't be so stingy, senior brother." Sisi clutched a purse at her waist; it contained lots of delicious food.
"It's truly heartbreaking," Wen Yuan sighed.
Taiqing was also instructing Xiaosi. He glanced over here and said, "Yuqing treats her like a treasure, so you don't need to worry about her being in danger. Just take good care of yourself."
"I understand, Master."
"It doesn't matter if you can't get the Spirit Sunflower. That thing is just something the Jade Emperor finds rare. The most important thing is the experience, what you can learn, understand?"
Xiao Si nodded.
"You must obtain the Spirit Sunflower, do you understand?" Shangqing said with a hint of exasperation. "You must obtain it. Only after obtaining it can I ask the Jade Emperor for a reward for you."
"I understand, Master. I will definitely win this time."
Long'er clenched her fists. This time, she was determined to outdo Long Sisi.
As if guessing what she was thinking, Shang Qing scolded her in a low voice, "Getting the Spirit Sunflower is the important thing. Don't think about provoking anyone. Remember the lesson from last time!"
Long'er felt a lump in her throat and could only nod in agreement.
The three were transported into the virtual mirror.
Since it was their first time here, Sisi looked around curiously. Xiao Si gently supported her shoulder, and Long'er laughed, "Junior brother, are you afraid that Sisi will get lost?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the vast sky in the illusory mirror changed instantly. Long'er subconsciously tried to grab Xiao Si, but he dodged.
"you...."
Suddenly, they found themselves outside a desolate city.
Long'er lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Junior brother, I'm also your senior sister, why didn't you help me up?"
"I thought you were old enough to stand up straight."
Long'er, "..."
"Look!" Sisi pointed to the sky in the center of the city.
Dark clouds swirled, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
“Demonic aura, there is a great demon in the city.” Xiao Si looked around. This city seemed to be built in a wilderness, surrounded by an impenetrable mist.
"Could this trial be about eliminating a powerful demon?"
Long'er scoffed, "This training trip is all about finding the Spirit Sunflower, how stupid!"
Sisi glared at her angrily, "You're the stupid one."
Long'er rolled her eyes. "Anyway, let me tell you, Lingkui is definitely mine. If you dare to take it from me, I won't hold back."
"But you can't beat me."
Sisi winked at her innocently.
Long'er's face cracked with anger.
"Alright, let's go into the city first."
Xiao Si reached out to Si Si, and she unconsciously took his hand, completely unaware of his slightly upturned lips. Long Er saw it and said with dissatisfaction, "Junior brother, are you only holding Si Si's hand?"
Xiao Si turned her head and said with certainty, "Yes."
"......."
The city was dilapidated, with many cracks in the walls. Inside, many vendors hawked their wares, and it was not much different from the bustling and prosperous human world.
However, the vendors were only selling steamed buns.
Sisi stopped in front of a stall, and the owner asked with a smile, "Little girl, would you like to buy some steamed buns? They're piping hot, meat-filled, and very delicious."
"Can you eat stones?"
Sisi didn't understand. The steamer basket clearly contained stones, so why were they being steamed over the fire again and again, and why were they calling them buns? Would they turn into buns if they were steamed for too long?
The shopkeeper's face instantly turned ugly. "If you're not going to buy, go play somewhere else."
"I'm sorry." Xiao Si carried the person away.
"Junior brother, he really is selling stones."
"Yes, I know."
"How strange."
"Junior brother, have you noticed that we can't see those dark clouds in the city?" Long'er's voice trembled slightly. Why is this place so strange?
Sisi looked up and said, "I really can't see."
Could it be that the great demon isn't in the city?
But all that can be seen outside the city are dark clouds, and the demonic aura swirling around these dark clouds is a reflection of the demonic aura within the city. The great demon should be inside the city.
That's so strange.
Just then, a beggar walked over shakily. His hair was so thick that it completely covered his face. He held a broken bowl in his hand and held it out to the three of them, saying, "Please have mercy."
Long'er said disdainfully, "Go away, there's nothing for you to eat."
Sisi took a piece of pastry out of her purse and put it in his bowl. The old beggar was so excited that he put it in his mouth. Seeing how pitiful he was, Sisi gave him a few more pieces.
"Grandpa, eat slowly."
The old man let out a burp and said with a chuckle, "You must be outsiders? This stuff is delicious; I haven't eaten anything like this in a hundred years."
"A hundred years?"
The three of them changed their expressions simultaneously.
How could an ordinary person possibly live past one hundred years old?
Sisi bit her finger and looked him up and down before asking, "Grandpa, how old are you now? Are you a god? How come you've lived so long?"
"I can't remember, but now that you're in the city, hurry up and find a place to rest. Don't go out at night, or you'll get caught by that person."
"That person? Who?"
The beggar shook his head, leaned on his cane, and left.
"This old man, he just won't explain himself clearly!"
Long'er was about to go forward and ask again when the sky in the city suddenly darkened. The merchants all ran home in fear, and the beggar also quickly turned into an alley.
Soon, only the three of them remained on the street.
Long'er looked completely bewildered. "What's going on?"
"Let's hide for a bit." Xiao Si picked up Si Si and flew to the second floor of an inn, with Long Er following closely behind.
The moment the windows were closed, a fierce wind arose outside.
"Why is the wind blowing again? This place is so strange."
Long'er exhaled a breath of stale air and sat on the bed. With a muffled groan, she subconsciously swung her sword, and the thing screamed and rolled off the bed.
"Don't kill me!"
