Just by strolling around, you can get your hands on a magical treasure?
"Um... I really don't remember anything, I don't remember anything at all, brother, what happened?" At this moment, Tongtian the little brat was lying on his older brother's back, his little face full of frustration.
"You can't remember anything at all? Then where did these magical treasures come from?" Yuanshi looked at the neatly arranged magical treasures surrounding his younger brother in utter astonishment, his lips twitching involuntarily.
Could it really be a windfall? I wonder if Yuanshi could also have such an opportunity, just casually strolling around and getting a spiritual treasure?
"I advise you to put away those inappropriate thoughts. Anyone would shake their head at your poker-faced, old-fashioned attitude." Taiqing shook his head helplessly, giving his second brother, who was still daydreaming, a subtle glare. If he were to lead his younger brother astray and make him secretly go down the mountain to look for some kind of opportunity or magical treasure, then his elder brother would give him a good beating!
Yuan Shi: "..." Why is Big Brother resorting to personal attacks? Is there no brotherly love left? He felt like he'd been shot in the chest, and the frustration of being unable to refute it was indescribable. Couldn't he even think about it? But all those magical treasures his Third Brother had were really tempting...
Tongtian, the little brat, was puzzled by the envious look his second brother gave him. He thought to himself, "If my second brother wants it, I'll just give it to him. He has plenty anyway."
"Second brother, you choose." The cub pointed to the shrunken magical artifacts surrounding him, generously sharing them with his older brother. Anyway, he had plenty more, though he didn't know where they came from. But for some reason, a voice in his mind was reminding him not to tell anyone about his affairs, not even his older brother! The cub was confused and at a loss. Faced with his brother who cared for him so much and told him everything, he struggled with his conscience for a while, and naturally chose to keep it a secret.
"Oh? You really want to give it up?" Yuanshi chuckled and pinched his younger brother's cheek, winking mischievously at him before taking away all the magical treasures surrounding him in the blink of an eye.
Taiqing: "...Stop fooling around!" This is ridiculous! How could you, as the older brother, actually take it? It's unbearable to watch! Since the younger brother has the intention to share his magic treasure, the older brother should praise him. How could you actually take his magic treasure? You'll make Tongtian cry again later. See if your older brother will punish you!
Tongtian remained completely calm and composed, which baffled Yuanshi, who had only wanted to tease the cub. Why was there no reaction? How boring! He could only return all the magical treasures with a sense of sullen resignation. When he met the cub's almost innocent and puzzled eyes, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"Hey, I was just kidding, don't worry, Second Brother doesn't need to."
"It's alright, there are plenty of treasures in the heavens~" The cub waved his sleeve, and a large number of spiritual treasures fell from the sky, pressing down on the three brothers who couldn't dodge in time! Taiqing reacted very quickly, firmly protecting his younger brother in his arms. Yuanshi, with quick eyes and hands, only had time to cast a protective shield for his older brother and younger brother to protect them, while he himself was buried inside!
Taiqing: "..." He stared in shock at the huge pile of spiritual treasures, unable to believe it. Then he looked at the innocent-looking cub who knew he had done something wrong, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Third brother, are you really not going to rob some powerful being's treasure vault? What if one day they come knocking on our door and beat me half to death?! That's absolutely impossible! Not even a ten-thousandth of a time! Taiqing shuddered and decided to hide all these magical treasures well, not letting a single drop leak out. Naturally, the powerful being, in his impotent rage and furious state after losing so many treasures, would be helpless and would most likely have to accept his bad luck and swallow his pride…
"Second brother, second brother is still inside~" The cub tugged at the sleeve of his eldest brother, who was still lost in thought, pointed to the pile of spiritual treasures, and said worriedly.
Taiqing solemnly picked up the cub, looking intently at his younger brother. He wanted to reprimand him for stealing, as it was wrong and could bring annihilation to the Three Pure Ones if he wasn't careful. But what if these magical treasures were given willingly by some powerful being? Would he be wrongly accusing his younger brother again? Taiqing hesitated for a long time, ultimately unable to bear scolding his innocent cub. After all, this adorable cub was unique in the entire prehistoric world. He possessed the merit of creation, profound blessings, and noble lineage. He was handsome, with delicate features, red lips, and white teeth. When he smiled, he was like a little angel, his eyes sparkling like stars, melting your heart. He loved to be pampered and hugged, was incredibly clingy, and had a pair of signature dimples on his soft, cute face… How could my little dumpling, so well-behaved and adorable, have done such a petty theft? It must have been given willingly by the owner of the magical treasures…
It has to be said that Taiqing, having stumbled upon the truth by accident, no longer cared about the origin of the magic weapon. Since it had already fallen into the hands of the Three Pure Ones, it was theirs to keep. "Who would have thought that our little dumpling would be such a lucky charm? Not bad at all!" Taiqing, in a very pleasant mood, lowered his head and gently kissed his younger brother's forehead, coaxing him softly, "Don't worry, Second Brother is fine. Let Big Brother help Second Brother."
The cub: "!!!" Big brother, big brother kissed me... Oh, how embarrassing! So he turned his back again and buried his head in his big brother's warm embrace.
With a flick of his finger, the pile of magical artifacts was forcibly separated, revealing a weary and yawning Yuan Shi inside. Yuan Shi stared resentfully at his elder brother, who was beaming with pride, and said languidly, "I thought you'd forgotten I was still buried in there, brother? I even gave you a protective shield right away! Is this how you treat me? I'm done with you, I'm really done with you!"
"Hehehe, don't be offended, don't be offended~ Second brother, look at all these magical treasures~" Taiqing didn't care about his sarcastic remarks at the moment. He just casually pointed, and a magical treasure landed in his palm.
Yuanshi stared intently, his lips twitching involuntarily. Then, looking at the mountain of spiritual treasures, he gradually seemed to realize something, and his eyes blazed with unbridled joy.
What is this? I'm rich! Hahahaha, I'm rich! It really happens that good fortune falls from the sky! I, Yuanshi, can also benefit from my little brother's good luck! Tongtian, you're such a lucky charm! Ignoring the little dumpling still blushing and sulking in his older brother's arms, he grabbed him and showered him with kisses. The little dumpling was instantly furious, staring blankly at his second brother who was still showering him with kisses. Suddenly, he struggled and buried himself in his older brother's arms, frantically trying to bury himself completely!
Second brother, second brother has gone mad, gone mad! It's so scary! Waaaaaah, big brother, please save Tuanzi! QAQ
Taiqing: "..." He glared speechlessly at Yuanshi, who was still eyeing the little dumpling in his arms, and said irritably, "That's enough! Can't you see your little brother is terrified? Calm down already! What kind of behavior is this?"
Yuan Shi finally calmed down a bit. Seeing his younger brother still trembling with anxiety, he felt a little annoyed, knowing he had been too impulsive. But how could his third brother be so easily embarrassed? He was so shy after being kissed by his older brother. What would happen if he had a Daoist partner in the future… cough cough cough cough cough, don’t think about it, it doesn’t exist! Yuan Shi, who was lost in thought, immediately noticed the sharp look from his eldest brother and quickly withdrew this very dangerous idea. He guiltily avoided eye contact and spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Hey, Tongtian, I was just so happy that I couldn't control my emotions. Don't be afraid of me, okay?"
Taiqing glared angrily at his second brother, who was trying to please his younger brother, and warned him through gritted teeth, "There won't be a next time." Looking at his troublesome second brother, who always seemed to be jumping around in his sensitive areas, he felt utterly exhausted. They say that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too; with Yuanshi as such a bad example, how could he possibly raise a well-behaved and sensible younger brother? Sometimes, he really wanted to beat him up, but even that didn't feel satisfying!
Tongtian crawled out of his eldest brother's arms, hesitated for a moment and looked at his second brother who was smiling ingratiatingly. He was speechless for a moment. Second, second brother, are you alright?
The cub's chubby face and serious frown made Yuan Shi's heart itch; he wished he could pull the little dumpling into his arms and comfort it! However, this was impossible, because his older brother was watching his every move with displeasure, his eyes seeming to warn him not to touch the little dumpling!
Yuanshi glanced at the cub with a mournful look, then casually put away the mountain of spiritual treasures behind him for the time being, planning to play with them carefully later.
The three were still walking on the mountain path, following a small trail at the foot of the mountain step by step, heading towards the Sanyou Courtyard halfway up. As for why his eldest and second brothers didn't want to return to the hut in a flash, he had asked them this question before. His eldest brother just smiled meaningfully, patted his head, and didn't say a word. The cub curiously turned his big, round eyes, having lost interest in the fairyland he knew so well.
While his two older brothers were still chatting, Tongtian, feeling utterly bored, looked at the treasures surrounding him. The cub curiously poked at one of the small hammers. The gilded purple lightning hammer occasionally emitted sparks of electricity as it circled around, clearly a powerful magic weapon. The purple lightning hammer swayed and was about to fall into the cub's hand when it was slapped aside.
"Third brother, this magic weapon is quite powerful, and you can't control it. Let's seal it away for now." Yuanshi secretly gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness. Fortunately, although the magic weapon has the ability to recognize its master, his younger brother is only so young. How could he know how to use it? What if he gets hurt?
The cub watched longingly as his Purple Lightning Hammer was taken away by his second brother, and pouted unhappily. That was his magical treasure, a precious item he had finally obtained, and it was taken away before he even got to touch it. He was a little reluctant to part with it.
"You can't bear to part with it? When you grow up a bit more, your second brother will naturally return it to you. What's meant to be yours will be yours, okay?" Taiqing patted the cub's head and comforted it.
"Mmm, I'll listen to my eldest and second eldest brothers." The cub nodded obediently, his eyes clear and innocent. After a moment, he tilted his head and looked at his second brother, Yuanshi, who was walking side by side with Taiqing, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"What's wrong? Tongtian, just say what you want to say. Do you think your second brother can cover your mouth and stop you from speaking?" Yuanshi poked his younger brother's chubby cheek and said irritably.
"Second Brother, Tongtian will never make you angry again, please don't be angry anymore, okay?" The cub still clearly retained a few memories in his mind that "the reason why Second Brother is older than Eldest Brother is because he is easily angered." Thinking of the nagging that his naughtiness often caused Second Brother Yuanshi, he became more and more uneasy.
Taiqing and Yuanshi exchanged a surprised glance, a hint of astonishment flashing in their eyes. Yuanshi, however, remained calm and composed, simply uttering an "Oh," seemingly not taking his younger brother's gesture of goodwill to heart at all.
The cub anxiously observed his second brother's expression. Hmm? No reaction? Could it be that his second brother had completely given up on him? No, it wasn't so much that he didn't hear it, but rather that he simply didn't care! Ugh, so infuriating!
Does Second Brother really distrust him that much? No, Second Brother is just teasing him! The cub was dumbfounded, glared angrily at Second Brother Yuanshi who was still secretly laughing, and turned his head away in grievance.
"Are you angry?" the second brother sighed. This little dumpling is sometimes very well-behaved, and sometimes very troublesome. It's really because the eldest brother spoils him...tsk tsk.
Who's causing you trouble? It's all because of you, my sly and wicked second brother, who set a bad example. We haven't even settled the score yet for the poisonous herb that Tongtian ate that would cause him to fall asleep. You really have a short memory, second brother! Taiqing sighed again, speechless. He really didn't want to look at this troublesome second brother anymore. Don't ask, it's just that I'm exhausted.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Tongtian, you're really something, you even managed to turn back after going out for a while, cough, and brought all these magical treasures home... By the way, why did you suddenly say you wanted to listen to your second brother like that? Your second brother wants to know what's going on." Yuanshi straightened up and looked at his third brother, who looked uneasy, with curiosity.
"Look, eldest brother's face is much smoother than second brother's... So it's second brother who's old, not eldest brother... I'm wondering if second brother gets angry too easily, which is why he has wrinkles!" The little boy reached out and poked his eldest brother's face again, and what he said made Taiqing laugh. Hahahaha, second brother, second brother, you must calm down! Third brother, third brother is still just a child, you mustn't take it to heart!
Yuanshi gaped, his Dao Heart shattered into pieces, staring in disbelief at how someone with that innocent and harmless face could utter such heartless words...
Old? Older than the eldest brother? Easily angered? Wrinkles? I think you little brat are asking for a beating, aren't you?!
