"Bao, baozi?"
"Hmm? You can talk~ You're right, this is a steamed bun in my hand, do you want some?"
"Eat! Eat! Don't be angry, eat!"
For a moment, Li Shiyao seemed to realize something, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
It's like a drop of ink on a blank sheet of paper, giving it color; though faint, it's still noticeable.
"Shiyao gave you the steamed bun, that's called sharing, do you understand? What do you want to say to Shiyao?"
The little boy looked adorable, holding a steamed bun in both hands, as if he were there to offer New Year's greetings, and spoke in a clumsy manner.
"Thank you for sharing. I'm not angry!"
"It's not that I'm not angry; I should be happy to eat something I like!"
"Armor, heart?"
Yes, happiness, that's how you feel right now~
"Thank you, I'm happy!"
For this little boy, there will never be another person his age in Lingxian Palace.
Perhaps because they were both simple-minded, they seemed to become friends very quickly.
Although Li Shiyao regarded him as the child of her master and senior sister, at this moment, it seemed that whose child he was didn't matter anymore.
The little boy seemed to be smiling, and he was no longer as wary as before. He just sat next to Li Shiyao and ate the steamed buns that Li Shiyao gave him.
However, the little boy was stunned when he was halfway through eating the bun!
He slowly stood up, staring blankly into the distance...
Although Li Shiyao found it strange, she couldn't detect anything when she used her divine sense to look. She didn't even find a single strange person or animal!
"Shiyao, over there!"
The boy pointed to the empty haystack and kept repeating the same sentence. A hint of impatience could be seen on his slightly weathered little face.
"What's wrong?"
"Senior sister, over there! Shiyao, over there!"
Seemingly, upon hearing Li Shiyao and Ye Qinghan address each other in that way, the little boy began to mistake "senior sister" and "Shiyao" for the names of two sisters, calling them out in a flustered manner.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghan also came closer, wondering if the child had discovered something. Could it be that he had found a way out?
The reason for this thought is that the three of them and the child are trapped here. Since a month ago, this area has been suppressed. Not only have all of Li Shiyao's magical treasures and equipment become ineffective, but even her supernatural powers have been suppressed!
The only thing the three people and the child could rely on was the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure possessed by Li Shiyao.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Ye Qinghan rushed over upon hearing this, and he and Li Shiyao stared at each other, watching the little boy frantically pointing to the side, as if he had seen something terrifying!
Before the two could come to a conclusion, the little boy approached Li Shiyao, grabbed her hand, and tried to pull her away.
With the thought of seeing what the little boy was up to, Li Shiyao simply let him pull her along...
Then it went on for three days and three nights, and the little boy seemed to be completely tireless, just running like that!
But, this can't go on forever, can it?
They initially thought the little boy was trying to take them somewhere, but Ye Qinghan also sensed something was wrong!
This little boy was running in one direction only, completely oblivious to the concept of a path!
"Stop running! Stop!"
However, before Ye Qinghan could speak, the little boy became anxious!
"Senior sister, there's something angry behind you!"
"Shiyao, Kaixin, I'm coming!"
Seemingly not intending to care about Ye Qinghan anymore, the little boy tried to pull Li Shiyao away, but when faced with the terrifying gaze of his senior sister, how could Li Shiyao dare to run away?
"Shiyao, talk to him. Is he running for his life? What happened?"
Li Shiyao does indeed have a talent for communicating with children. It is said that he can even chat with the spirit beasts raised in the sacred mountain, so Ye Qinghan is naturally not surprised.
"Afterwards, he's angry? Senior sister, do you think it's possible that something angry is chasing him?"
Ye Qinghan was speechless. She had no intention of communicating with such a mentally challenged child. Since embarking on the path of immortality, she had rarely run such a long distance on her own two legs in one go!
Why are they just dragging them along without saying anything?
"Ask him! How would I know if you ask me?"
Senior Sister's bad temper has been a long-standing issue, and coupled with not having seen Master for so long, she was naturally in a bad mood!
Li Shiyao pursed her lips, thinking to herself that this little boy was much easier to talk to than her senior sister!
Despite her thoughts, she obediently squatted down and began trying to communicate with the little boy who had a worried expression.
"You said you got angry later, is it because something scary is chasing you?"
The little boy seemed to understand what he was saying!
"Terrible! Yes! Chase them! Shiyao, Senior Sister, hurry and chase them!"
"You mean we have to run, right?"
"Run! Yes, it's terrifying! We, Shiyao, and Senior Sister, run!"
By this point, Ye Qinghan seemed to have heard enough. It has to be said that this child seemed to have become more human-like!
Naturally, Ye Qinghan understood that this was all thanks to her beloved junior sister.
However, now is the time for her, the senior sister, to step up!
"Shiyao, tell her that's why we're here! Don't be afraid! I want to see who's got a death wish and dares to cause trouble on my junior sister's territory!"
"Uh, Senior Sister, you forgot, you didn't bring the Frostbite Sword with you when you went out!"
Li Shiyao had her own ulterior motives for saying that!
