"I like it."
Xiao Si looked at her, her ears burning red. In contrast, Wen Yuan's eyes darkened. He was about to ask something, somewhat dissatisfied, when he saw Si Si counting on her slender fingers.
"I also like my senior brother, I like my master, I like the Vermilion Bird, I like Little Gem, I like my father and mother, I like so many people."
"..."
Xiao Si and Wen Yuan both understood that she had no idea what the "like" they meant.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Sisi looked at them strangely. Why did she stop talking after asking her question? Did she say something wrong?
Wen Yuan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that. I heard you subdued a lot of monsters in the illusory mirror?"
“Yes.” Sisi took out the book and placed it in front of him happily. She opened it, and the demon inside seemed to move as if it had sensed her.
"Senior brother, this book you gave me is amazing! What is it? Does it have a name?"
"The Record of Demons and Ghosts can capture demons and ghosts. The book is full of spiritual energy, and any demon or ghost can cultivate here. It can also purify their hearts, and they will be used by you."
Wen Yuan flipped through the pages, his fingertip pausing on a page. He looked up at her and said, "You've finally softened your heart."
Sisi looked at the snow woman in the painting, who was on the verge of death, and chuckled, "I think she's quite pitiful."
"She won't survive."
Sisi was taken aback. "Why?"
Wen Yuan said calmly, "She is the vessel of Ling Kui. Without Ling Kui, even if there is spiritual power to prolong her life, she cannot survive. It is useless for you to save her."
"ah!"
Sisi's face fell, and she muttered, "I thought she could live as long as she had spiritual power. I should have known better than to bring her out. You must be reluctant to leave the place where you grew up."
"There's another way: get Lingkui back, and she can survive."
Xiao Si suddenly felt that Wen Yuan's words had a guiding meaning, as if he was deliberately trying to get Si Si to do it.
By snatching something from the Jade Emperor, he was clearly sending Sisi to her death. Xiao Si grabbed Sisi's wrist.
"Senior sister, I want to go to the Scripture Pavilion. Could you come with me?"
Sisi's attention was drawn to him. "Okay, what kind of book are you looking for? Tell your senior brother, and he'll definitely be able to find it."
Xiao Si glanced at Wen Yuan, who smiled meaningfully, "Yes, what book is Xiao Si looking for?"
"Just browsing."
After saying that, he pulled Sisi away without another word.
Upon arriving at the library, Sisi shook off his hand, revealing a red mark around her delicate wrist.
"What are you doing? You're scratching me and it hurts."
Xiao Si looked at her, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes, and said with pursed lips, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I was too strong."
Under the light, his gray eyes seemed to be moist. Sisi pouted and said, "Never mind."
"Stay away from your senior brother from now on."
Sisi frowned. "Why?"
Xiao Si clenched her palms. "Because I want to play with you. Senior brother is too busy; he won't play with you."
After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that made sense, and nodded. "Then will you take me to the Sutra Repository?"
"Wait a minute."
Xiao Si searched the bookshelf and picked up a book. "Here, take this book and read it carefully when you get back."
"..."
Sisi glared at him angrily, "Junior brother, you're so mean! Are you taking advantage of the fact that I can't read?"
Xiao Si's face suddenly turned red, and he gripped the book tightly, his fingertips turning white.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'll read it to you."
Sisi snorted, "That's more like it. Although I'm all grown up now, I was still a little kid yesterday."
Xiao Si didn't reply. He took his book and sat down at the wooden table. Si Si sat next to him, holding her little face and looking at him.
The intense gaze made Xiao Si's earlobes turn bright red. Si Si curiously touched them; they were warm. "Junior brother, your ears are so red."
Xiao Si's body trembled violently. He suddenly stood up and sat down stiffly opposite her.
Why are you running?
Sisi was dissatisfied and followed him to sit next to him again. Xiaosi gritted his teeth and said, "Senior sister, don't get so close to me."
"Why?"
The irresistible fragrance emanating from her body made Xiao Si feel extremely uncomfortable, as if insects were crawling all over his body.
"Okay, sit down, I'm going to start."
Sisi obediently sat up straight.
Xiao Si held the book, remaining silent for a long time, his face turning red. He shouldn't have picked up such a book.
"Go ahead and tell me."
"I...I'm a little sleepy, maybe next time." Xiaosi hurriedly slammed the book on the ground and ran away as fast as she could.
Sisi picked up the book and looked at it. The words were densely packed. How strange, why does my junior brother always blush?
Is there some interesting story in this book? Why didn't your junior brother read it to her? Did he not want her to know?
My junior brother is really naughty.
Sisi took the book and went to find Zhuque.
"Zhuque, come and take a look at this book. Tell me about it."
Zhuque thought it was an ordinary book, so she started to talk about it seriously, but the more she talked, the more she felt something was wrong.
Why is this book all about love, affection, and inseparable bonds? It even includes dual cultivation?!
She slammed the book shut, her eyes wide. "Where did you get this book? Did you take someone else's?"
The lives of immortals are boring, and such books are usually read by fairy maidens in their spare time; perhaps she picked up the wrong one.
Just as Zhuque breathed a sigh of relief, Sisi said, "Junior brother gave it to me. He's so strange. He clearly said he told me about it, but then he ran away with a blush on his face."
