The little dumpling from Shangqing is so cute!
Since the beginning of time, Pangu's last breath transformed into three ethereal white clouds, chasing each other as they fell into the Heavenly Pool of Kunlun Mountain. The three clouds scattered, one of them, bewildered, groping around in the pool, eager to break through the natural magic array surrounding it. A flash of golden light, and the soft, fluffy white cloud, seeing stars, helplessly plummeted towards the bottom. Fortunately, the other two white clouds arrived and caught it. The two ethereal white clouds emitted a hazy golden light, tentatively touching the still disoriented white cloud. The white cloud, mimicking them, released its own spiritual sense, rubbing against the two ethereal white clouds. The three clouds quickly circled the Heavenly Pool, realizing that in their current form, they could not escape. Their only option was to cultivate diligently, striving to achieve human form as soon as possible and break free from the Heavenly Pool's confinement.
Long years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the dumplings to take human form. One after another, lightning bolts descended, and the imprisoning magic array shattered suddenly. The three dumplings soared into the air, and were struck by eighteen lightning bolts. The first to take human form was Taiqing, who looked like an old man with a kind and amiable appearance. He wore a Bagua robe and had flowing white hair. He stroked his white beard with satisfaction and looked at his two younger brothers who were still taking human form. His eyes were filled with both joy and worry. He landed on Kunlun Mountain and observed his two younger brothers who were still undergoing tribulations without blinking.
As expected, Yuanshi successfully transformed into human form, standing majestically and solemnly, already appearing to be middle-aged. He landed on the ground first and cupped his hands towards Taiqing, saying, "Elder brother."
"Second brother, there's no need for formalities. Today, the three of us brothers have finally achieved the Dao fruit, and we have lived up to the kindness that Father Pangu has shown us, the Three Pure Ones."
"Yes, yes, but why hasn't my third brother emerged from the tribulation clouds for so long? Could something have happened?" Yuanshi stared at Tongtian, who was still undergoing tribulation, with a worried expression.
"Don't panic, wait a little longer. Tongtian's talent is no worse than ours! He's just playful and cheerful." Taiyi said cheerfully.
"It's because he was playful that his cultivation level dropped. Now he's stuck there. What are we going to do?" Yuanshi was furious. He had already planned to keep an eye on Tongtian's cultivation progress as soon as he successfully transformed into human form, making sure he didn't fall behind even a little!
"Why are you so serious? Don't frighten my little brother. What's wrong with my little brother being innocent, lively, and cheerful? Does he have to be as rigid and serious as you?" Taiyi glanced at the sulking Yuanshi and said speechlessly.
Yuan Shi: "..." Where is he rigid or serious? At most, he's just... a bit aloof, that's right, aloof!
When the lightning tribulation finally dissipated, the white ball in mid-air began to take shape. Suddenly, Taiqing and Yuqing stared wide-eyed in disbelief, their faces full of astonishment, at the little girl who had landed in front of them.
With his delicately sculpted face, long, fluttering eyelashes, and big, bright eyes, he looked even more adorable and lively in his pink robe. His chubby little face was full of confusion as he waved his little hand to greet his older brother in a sweet, childish voice.
"Big brother, second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Yuanshi: "...Where's the promised third brother? Big brother, your deduction went wrong!" But honestly, turning the third brother into a third sister isn't so bad. Hmm, she looks especially well-behaved and adorable in her pink and tender appearance...
Taiyi stared at the little baby in astonishment, unable to recover for a long time. He wondered if he had even made a mistake in this calculation. Was his cultivation level fake?
Seeing that her two older brothers looked so bitter and resentful, their brows furrowed and sighing for so long, the little baby's beautiful starry eyes immediately filled with tears, and she began to sob: "Big brother, second brother, don't you want to reach the heavens anymore?"
"Of course not!" Yuanshi panicked, picked up the still sobbing baby, and clumsily but patiently coaxed, "He just didn't realize what was happening, don't cry, don't cry."
Wait, how did I get picked up by my second brother? Tongtian looked down at his own jade-like little arms, then at his second brother's long, slender arms, and then at his second brother's face—incomparably handsome, though with a full beard that made him look serious and dignified. At this moment, his eyes were only on little Tongtian, still a tiny, pink and tender little thing! Tongtian was incredibly surprised. How could he have cultivated into a toddler not even three years old? He had clearly imagined... a spirited young man! He almost fainted from shock!
Taiyi looked at the baby's bewildered expression and the growing tears welling up in his eyes with trepidation. He couldn't help but comfort him, "Tongtian, don't be afraid. Big brother is here. Come to big brother." With that, he reached out to Yuanshi, gesturing for the baby to be handed to him.
Yuanshi was extremely displeased. The little baby in his arms was well-behaved and had a clean and refreshing aura. The baby was as soft as a ball of cotton. The baby's eyebrows and eyes had not yet fully developed, but from the baby's appearance, one could tell that the baby would definitely be a beauty that would surpass all others in the future! He felt as if he was seeing a flower bud that had not yet bloomed in spring, weak and beautiful.
"I see that my third brother, no, my third sister, is quite happy to stay in my arms, isn't she, third sister?" Yuanshi teased the little baby in his arms.
When Tongtian saw his extremely serious face, he remembered his own tragic transformation and was overwhelmed with sorrow. Because he was young, he was most unable to control his emotions and burst into tears!
Taishang and Yuanshi were instantly jolted, their hands and feet trembling in disarray. Taiyi decisively took the baby back into his arms, glaring at his second brother who was trying to snatch it back, and scolded, "It's your fault! Didn't you see Tongtian was scared to tears by you? Go stand aside!"
Yuanshi looked dejected. It seemed he had scared his third brother—no, his third sister—to tears. Was it because he looked too fierce? He shouldn't have considered that when he transformed into human form.
Taishang was indeed skilled at taking care of children. His natural affinity successfully made the little baby lower his guard. Tongtian, who was tired from crying, fell asleep in his older brother's arms. Yuanshi looked at Tongtian, whose long eyelashes still had a few teardrops on them, and felt both anxious and itchy!
Taishang saw through his trick and said in his mind, "If you frighten Tongtian to tears again, I will punish you. From now on, you are not allowed to approach Tongtian without my permission!"
Yuanshi wanted to argue for himself, but when his gaze fell on Tongtian sleeping peacefully in his elder brother's arms, he gave up and could only obediently follow his elder brother.
Time has passed, and many years have gone by. Halfway up Kunlun Mountain, a small courtyard was built against the mountain and by the water. In front of it was a great formation to defend against foreign enemies, and behind it was the complex geomantic veins naturally formed by Kunlun. It was truly a place carefully chosen by the Father God, a feng shui treasure land specially reserved for his three sons.
Yuan Shi was deeply moved, gazing down at this sacred mountain and blessed land, feeling quite satisfied. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his beloved younger sister busy chasing butterflies, and couldn't help but chuckle.
He's still a little kid, never still for a moment, truly a lively child by nature.
Tongtian, a small figure, lay prone in the grass, intently watching a butterfly fluttering about. He slowed his breathing and made a pouncing motion, but the next second, a surge of spiritual energy appeared behind him, successfully scaring the butterfly away. Tongtian was very unhappy, looking resentfully at his second brother, his mouth puffed out, clearly very angry!
"What are you doing, Third Sister? Come here, let your Second Brother give you a hug." Yuan Shi smiled, squatted down, opened his arms, and gestured for Tong Tian to come into his embrace.
"I'm the third brother, not the third sister!" Tongtian retorted angrily. He was clearly a boy! Why did his second brother always call him the third sister? It was so puzzling! Did his second brother's eyesight deteriorate at such a young age?
"Alright, alright, Third Sister, whatever you say is right! Be good, let your Second Brother hug you. It's been so long since you've been close to your Second Brother." Yuan Shi wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he chuckled and stepped forward to grab the little dumpling. The little dumpling struggled, her face flushed!
"Hehe, our third sister has grown up a bit too. She's grown from a little bean to the height of a sapling. Not bad, not bad." Yuanshi pinched his little face, and Tongtian let him pinch, poke, and blow on it, his little face looking utterly hopeless.
"It's been so long, don't you miss your second brother? Little Tongtian, no, I've always found it strange that Father God gave you such a domineering name as a girl. Is it really a good name? How about we call you Yu Chen?" Yuan Shi stroked his chin, feeling quite satisfied.
"Is it possible that I was originally a boy, second brother? Are you questioning Father God's gaze?" Tongtian's soft, childlike voice, so incongruous with the situation, successfully made Yuanshi frown.
"Oh no, I guess your older brother has corrupted you and made you unable to distinguish between men and women. I knew Yu Chen was so beautiful, she was definitely a girl! She doesn't look like a boy at all!" Yuan Shi muttered a few words to his older brother, very unhappy.
Tongtian: "..." I think you're the one who can't tell the difference between men and women, okay? I'm so tired.
"However, it's alright, Yu Chen. Your second brother has picked out some pretty fairy dresses for you. I'm sure you'll love them. Go try them on!" Yuan Shi changed the subject and eagerly led Tong Tian back to the hut.
Still in a daze, Tongtian's gaze shifted, and he was suddenly back in the hut. He felt a sense of foreboding and tried to run away, but Yuanshi froze him in place.
Tongtian: "...Second Brother, don't do this! I won't wear it, I'd rather die than wear it!" Waaaaaaah, Second Brother is so scary! He forces me to wear women's clothes without warning!
...
When Taishang finished his seclusion, he saw Yuanshi enter carrying a little pink ball in his arms, holding a pink fairy dress. However, the little pink ball had its back to him, so he couldn't see its face clearly.
His heart sank immediately. He thought that Yuanshi might have run away with someone else's child and brought him back to keep the still-young Tongtian company. This was too much...
"Brother, you've come out of seclusion so quickly? Perfect, perfect, let me show you." Yuanshi was quite happy, coaxing the child in his arms to show his face.
"Why are you still shy? It's not like we haven't seen it before. Let our big brother take a look too. How could someone so handsome and beautiful be a boy, right, big brother?" Yuanshi shoved Tongtian into his big brother's arms and just stood there watching the show.
Tai Shang looked at Tong's face, which was flushed with anger, his starry eyes filled with grievance, and his pretty cheeks puffed out, looking like he was about to cry, which was the most heartbreaking thing.
He hesitated, poking the shallow dimples on her fair cheeks with his finger. Seeing her starry eyes widen in disbelief, his heart softened a little.
I must say, the third brother is really quite cute, even in women's clothing... cough, quite cute... Yuanshi has good taste, I'll go look for something suitable for Tongtian to wear sometime...
As Yuanshi and Taishang exchanged meaningful glances, the weak and innocent Tongtian could only deceive himself by pretending that he hadn't understood his two older brothers' meaningful looks. He whimpered and buried his head in his eldest brother's arms, trembling.
The two older brothers are bullying Tuanzi! Is there no justice in this world? QAQ
