"Hehe, I heard you've been searching everywhere for some white jade lotus root these past few days?"
Red Boy was still wearing a red bib, with golden hoops around his limbs, and he was barefoot, shaking his head and looking incredibly cute.
"Don't try to fool me. My father is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Demon King of countless monsters. All the little monsters in the world have to respectfully call me 'Grandpa Red Boy'! Wherever there are monsters in the world, how could I be out of the loop?"
"So it was you, young boy, who came here. I wonder how your unique mount is doing?"
Xu Milu greeted him with a smile, "I just made some new and interesting snacks today, would you like to try some, boy?"
It's already springtime in the Journey to the West world, and she made a lot of seasonal candies, such as maltose peanut brittle and Sachima nougat—she usually keeps them in a snack box, and Mo Xuan likes to grab a piece and eat it whenever he has a spare moment.
"Your mount is just what I like. It's very clever. When it swims in the South China Sea, the pig-dragon fish is also very alert."
Red Boy was overjoyed. He jumped up and sat cross-legged on the table, happily munching on a piece of malt candy.
"You're quite clever, little demon! If we're being precise, your master is my father's sworn brother, so I have to call him uncle. But whether we're talking about age or the order in which we joined the sect, you have to call me senior brother—"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Red Boy."
Xu Milu called him "senior brother" quite casually, jokingly. She already had seven senior brothers and sisters above her, so one more or one less wouldn't make a difference. Plus, Hong Hai'er had lived for hundreds of years, so it wouldn't be a loss for her to call him "senior brother".
"Hiss—you little devil, you're certainly making that sound good."
Red Boy blinked, a hint of embarrassment suddenly appearing on his fair face. As if remembering something, he rummaged in his belly pocket and pulled out a lotus seed that still shimmered with golden light:
"Since you call me senior brother and gave me a rare and excellent mount, then I will give you a fine treasure in return!"
Xu Milu's gaze fell on the lotus seed, and she subconsciously used the system analysis.
【Seeds of the Five-Colored Lotus Platform (Cultivable): A celestial item, produced from the Five-Colored Lotus Platform beneath Guanyin. The Five-Colored Lotus Platform possesses boundless magical power, based on a nine-tiered lotus platform, and nurtured in the lotus pond of Mount Putuo in the South China Sea. It is indestructible, can cross any river, and possesses boundless magical power. The lotus seeds contain Buddhist principles; consuming them can cultivate myriad wondrous lotuses, calming the mind and spirit.】
Xu Milu's hands were trembling as she held the lotus seeds.
Did this naughty kid accidentally knock the lotus seeds off the Bodhisattva's lotus platform?
He truly deserves to be called the number one mischievous child in the Three Realms!
