Long'er watched with great excitement as the Snow Maiden's heart shone with a luminous white light, like a bright moon.
"It's Lingkui, it's Lingkui!"
She drew her sword and dug out the spirit sunflower, leaving the snow maiden's body tossed aside like a broken fallen leaf.
When Sisi saw her digging out her heart, her pupils were filled with excitement and ferocity. She tugged at Xiaosi's sleeve.
"Junior brother, did I do something wrong?"
Xiao Si shook her head, holding her hand, "You did nothing wrong."
Long'er is too heartless; she has no compassion in her eyes. She shouldn't be a goddess.
Having found Lingkui, the group returned to the East Palace.
Long'er proudly presented the Spirit Sunflower to the Jade Emperor. Shangqing took the opportunity to praise, "Long'er was fearless in the face of danger and guessed the location of the Spirit Sunflower at the last moment. She is a clever child. Your Majesty, I would like to ask Long'er for a title."
"Brother Shangqing is quite arrogant, spouting nonsense." Yuqing sneered.
Shang Qing glared at him fiercely.
The Jade Emperor was so happy that he didn't pay any attention to what the two were saying. With a wave of his hand, he directly appointed her as the Star Goddess, in charge of all the constellations. Although Long'er didn't know what the use of this position was, Shangqing was very satisfied.
"Long'er, quickly thank His Majesty."
Long'er knelt on the ground and performed a deep bow, saying, "Long'er thanks Your Majesty."
"Get up." The Jade Emperor was eager to study the Spirit Sunflower, so he did not let the group stay in the Heavenly Palace any longer. He exchanged a few polite words and then sent them away.
Yuqing didn't want to dwell on the fact that Long'er had been named Yuanjun, since it was normal for a master to care about his disciple.
But seeing Shangqing so smug, and constantly telling other immortals how clever and quick-witted Long'er was.
"How clever! The Jade Emperor has always wanted the Spirit Sunflower and has sent countless people to find it for thousands of years, but she, a little girl, found it. Amazing!"
“Lingbao Tianzun’s disciple is certainly no ordinary person; he is truly enviable.”
"She's so smart; it's all thanks to Lingbao Tianzun's excellent teaching. Lingbao Tianzun's abilities are extremely powerful."
The flattery from the immortals greatly satisfied Shangqing's vanity, and as he walked along the road, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a happy smile.
Yuqing couldn't stand it anymore. "Brother Shangqing, are you blind? Lingkui was clearly found by my Sisi. Your disciple took advantage of her and still has the nerve to show off."
"Who took the Spirit Sunflower? It's our Long'er! The Jade Emperor said that whoever gets the Spirit Sunflower wins!"
Shangqing didn't care what he thought, and lovingly protected Long'er, "Good disciple, ignore your master, he's a bad person. Come on, your master will go back and find you some treasures."
Long'er said modestly, "Thank you, Master. My senior uncle certainly didn't mean it. Please don't be angry, Master."
The two left after they finished speaking.
Yuqing scoffed, "Shangqing's skin is getting thicker and thicker. He'll fall for Long'er sooner or later."
"Why bother with him?" Taiqing smiled faintly. "Brother Yuqing, why don't you coax Sisi? Sisi performed very well in this training. Don't be stingy. If you have anything good, you should reward our little Sisi with a share."
Yu Qing looked down at the little bundle of joy that only reached his knees, and reached out to pick the little guy up. "Sisi, do you want to grow up?"
"Is it the same age as Master?"
“The same age as Xiao Si.” Yu Qing glanced at Xiao Si, and because of these words, he looked at Si Si with great tension, as if he was looking forward to him growing up.
Yuqing knew what he was thinking, and he gently patted Sisi's head. "How is it?"
Sisi nodded her little head and said in a sweet, childish voice, "Okay, Sisi wants to be the same age as Junior Brother, so that Sisi won't have to be carried by Junior Brother when walking, and she'll become very powerful too!"
Xiao Si's face turned slightly red.
Yuqing pretended not to see it, "Okay, Master will talk to your Senior Brother Yuan. Sisi, you'd better be prepared to grow up."
If this little girl grows up to be a young woman, suitors from the Heavenly Realm will surely flock to her. I just don't know if Xiao Si will still be able to squeeze in.
That's probably difficult.
Sisi listened to her master's words and went to find Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He stood in front of a spiritual spring, his voice calm.
"Go soak for an hour."
Sisi lay down and touched the spring water. It was warm and cool, and it was bubbling with steam.
"Will it grow bigger if you soak it in water?"
"Um."
Wen Yuan turned around, and several curtains instantly appeared around the spiritual spring, completely surrounding it. From the outside, only a faint shadow could be seen inside.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Wen Yuan's voice was somewhat cold. Xiao Si didn't know when she had offended him, so she could only leave with him in silence.
The two arrived at a hall, where Wen Yuan sat down and asked, "How old are you in the human realm now?"
Xiao Si said, "Fifteen years old."
"It's time for you to get married." Wen Yuan took a sip of tea, looked him over for a while, and then said, "Do you have someone you like? If so, you can go to the Old Man of the Moon and ask for a red thread."
Xiao Si lowered her eyes and remained silent.
"Is this not true?"
"have."
"Which fairy have you taken a fancy to?" Wen Yuan asked casually.
Xiao Si looked at him, and he looked back at Xiao Si. Their gazes were both indifferent, yet there was a palpable tension between them.
Wen Yuan chuckled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Third Brother, you're not going to try and take it from me, are you?"
Wen Yuan's hand suddenly stopped. He hadn't heard this address in a long time, and now it sounded completely unfamiliar.
When did you recognize me?
“I recognized you at first sight.” Xiao Si stared at him for a long time before speaking again, “Mother misses you very much. Now that you have become a god, why do you never come down to the mortal world to see your mother?”
His face didn't show much emotion. "That's all in the past. After I died, I had no connection with the Zhou family. I'm just the Wood God."
"You're so heartless."
Wen Yuan smiled but remained silent.
Xiao Si stood up. "I like Si Si, Third Brother. You won't try to steal Si Si from me, will you?"
"If you like her, you still have to get past Sisi. If she doesn't like you, there's no point in forcing it."
Wen Yuan looked behind him and was momentarily stunned.
The little girl had shed her childishness, wearing a flowing pink and white dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, and without any jewelry. Just standing there, she shone like moonlight.
Her eyes, clear and captivating like glass, were dotted with tiny water droplets on her fair face. The playful droplets slid down her skin and landed on her pink lips. Unconsciously, she gently licked the droplets clean with her tongue.
"Does my junior brother like me?"
She ran over with a grin, and Xiao Si turned around instinctively when she heard her voice, just like Wen Yuan, and was stunned.
He had considered that she was beautiful, but he hadn't expected her to be so dazzlingly beautiful. Her beauty made him look extremely dull, like a bug crawling out of a mud pit.
The words he had just spoken with such conviction suddenly caught in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
"Hey, junior brother, what's wrong?" Sisi waved in front of him, and Xiaosi shook his head with his head down.
Wen Yuan saw through his thoughts and said with a faint smile, "Junior brother, weren't you just saying you liked Sisi? Since Sisi is here, how about I ask her for you?"
Xiao Si glanced at him, her eyes full of warning.
He ignored it, "Does Sisi like her junior brother?"
