Tuanzi has quite a temper!
Seeing the gloomy little dumpling from Shangqing, who was radiating an aura of "I'm unhappy," turning her back to him indignantly, he racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution. He was not good at arguing, so he was really at a loss as to how to appease the dumpling.
"Be good, don't be angry." I poked the cub's back, but it didn't budge. Sigh, it seems this little dumpling has quite a temper and isn't easy to fool!
"Tongtian, it was your fault, please just look at me, okay?" He poked the little dumpling again, who was still trying to hypnotize himself. The little dumpling whimpered and kept snuggling into his arms, just like a dumpling trying its best to avoid the problem. Its small chest heaved up and down as if it was quite angry.
Hmph, Tongtian is angry! It's unforgivable for my elder brother not to give me a kiss, a hug, and lift me up high!
The man's hand froze instantly. He looked at the "black" dumpling, which still exuded a gloomy aura, with a very complicated expression. He had thought that the proud dumpling would require a lot of patience and sweet talk to even acknowledge him. If he hadn't been able to hear the dumpling's inner thoughts, he would never have imagined that this temperamental and proud little dumpling would actually like kisses and hugs in private? He really never expected that you, dumpling, would be like this...
Well, this is really putting him in a difficult position.
After waiting and waiting for most of the day, the cub still didn't receive a loving kiss from its older brother. A hint of sadness appeared in the cub's eyes, its eyes reddened, and its nose twitched.
Waaaaaah! Even Big Brother won't come to comfort Tongtian anymore! Tongtian is so sad! Big Brother really hates Tongtian! Second Brother, I want Second Brother!!!
"Don't cry..." The purple-robed man was truly at his wit's end. He turned the whimpering cub over, placed it on the ground, and gestured for the cub to stand still. He then pulled out a pile of spiritual treasures from the void and placed them in front of the cub, indicating that it could choose whatever it wanted.
The cub exclaimed, "!!!" and immediately forgot its gloomy mood. It stared intently at the beautiful treasures that radiated golden light, its face filled with amazement.
"Wow! Big brother, are all these for me?" The cub happily circled around the treasures, its starry eyes sparkling with red hearts, clearly very satisfied with the many magical items.
"Call me teacher, and I'll give you all of these, how about it?" A hint of a smile appeared in the man's eyes as he leisurely watched the cub's cheerful back. Suddenly, the cub froze, its straight back instantly hunching over, looking as listless as an eggplant that had been hit by frost.
"Brother! You're bullying me again..." The little boy pouted and glared at him unhappily. His round eyes were filled with contempt for his older brother's occasional mean jokes. He felt inexplicably annoyed and decided not to call him that!
"Tongtian doesn't like it? Then I'll just put it away~" The man sighed with feigned regret, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to put all the treasures back into his space.
"Big brother! You're playing me! No, no, I want it, I want it!" The cub panicked and quickly stood in front of the spirit, shaking its head frantically. Its little face turned pale with fright, and it was extremely terrified.
"Be good, say it once, and I'll give it all to you." He coaxed the innocent little dumpling, who knew nothing of the world, with even gentler words, while secretly plotting other plans without any guilt or burden in his heart.
For example, how about coaxing Tuanzi back to his Zixiao Palace? On the long and lonely path of cultivation, it occasionally pops up to make its presence known, perhaps because it has lived long enough to see through everything... Now, the desolate and empty Zixiao Palace desperately needs a lively and cheerful Tuanzi to keep it company. With Tuanzi around, it's likely that he can experience the novelty of "worrying about everything" in Zixiao Palace.
"No!" The cub refused outright, a hint of confusion flashing in his round eyes. Why did his older brother insist on making him call him "teacher"? Deep down, he felt he couldn't easily agree. Finally, he belatedly realized a cruel truth: his older brother had been toying with him, completely manipulating him…
"Very well, I won't force you if you don't agree." Hongjun sighed and simply waved his sleeve. Instantly, most of the treasures, which were emitting faint colors, obediently entered the mustard seed space. The remaining treasures automatically surrounded Tongtian and supported him, and some even took the opportunity to rub against the soft and cute cub.
The cub, looking completely bewildered, hugged the innate spiritual treasure, the Heart-Piercing Lock, which was rubbing against him. Curious, he touched the lock, which automatically withdrew its surrounding killing power, becoming as obedient as an ordinary rope, allowing the cub to touch it from all sides. Other spiritual treasures, not to be outdone, shrank several times over and landed in the cub's hands, in his arms, or on the back of his hand.
Hongjun: "..." Good heavens, is she trying to please Tuanzi in front of him, her master, with such a delicate and charming appearance? It has to be said that the Heavenly Dao really favors the Shangqing Tuanzi. She can obtain so many innate spiritual treasures just by going out once. I wonder how those people who have been searching for them in the prehistoric world for hundreds of years without success are supposed to put themselves in a bad position.
"Thank you, big brother~ Tongtian likes it very much." Tuanzi was overjoyed. At this moment, he and the Lingbao were of one mind, so he could understand their emotions. He felt all the Lingbao's love for him, and the praise was endless. The little cub, who had never been praised like this before, couldn't help but secretly blush.
Hehe, it's kind of embarrassing~
Seeing the cub having so much fun, Hongjun tacitly agreed to give all the spiritual treasures to the cub. The twelve-grade merit lotus, which he had originally stored in his mustard seed space, was jumping around restlessly. The noisy sound coming from his mind made Hongjun frown and coldly say, "No!"
The cub was startled by the coldness in his words and blinked helplessly. The Heart Lock, which had been obediently in his arms, immediately returned to its original size and stood firmly beside the cub, looking at its original master, Hongjun, with great vigilance.
Hongjun: "..." Is he really that terrifying? No matter how shameless he is, he would never lay a hand on an unarmed cub, especially since this cub is a promising talent he has his eye on. How could he possibly make a move against him?
"I wasn't talking about you, Tongtian, don't be afraid." Hongjun tried hard to project goodwill, a hint of ingratiating smile appearing on his usually calm face. But the Heart-Piercing Lock didn't see it that way! It trembled and shivered, a little scared. But when it saw its cute little master looking at it expectantly, the longing in his eyes successfully evoked its best fear. Damn it, at worst, if it gets shattered, its spiritual consciousness will just dissipate. In time, the Heart-Piercing Lock can recover! Its little master needs it! The Heart-Piercing Lock, with its imposing aura, once again unleashed its own pressure, attempting to intimidate its former master's fearful pressure. But it was ultimately too insignificant, just a negligible spiritual power intimidation, not even worthy of Hongjun's attention... However, this spiritual treasure truly protects its master. Not bad, not bad. Following Tongtian is a good ending.
The smile on his lips hadn't faded yet, and the golden light of the twelfth-grade merit was still jumping around stubbornly. Hongjun laughed in anger, and released the trembling golden lotus with his backhand. He wanted to see what this golden lotus was up to.
The golden lotus trembled and floated in mid-air. Its petals, which contained countless obscure and difficult-to-understand Daoist charms, moved without wind. The magnificent leaves and petals were all uniquely dazzling gold. Strands of golden light of merit flowed between the petals, making it extremely beautiful!
The cub was immediately drawn to the lotus flower and instinctively reached out its palm. The golden lotus twisted its body and gracefully landed in the cub's hand. The petals seemed to brush against the cub's rosy cheeks unintentionally, causing them to tremble and freeze instantly, as if they had been stunned.
Hongjun almost laughed. Why are they all so hot to handle? One after another, they're all eager to curry favor with Tongtian? He's already tired of saying "envious," hasn't he? If he had that kind of physique, probably not a single treasure in the entire prehistoric world would fall into anyone else's hands…
Hmm, something's not right. What's wrong with the Golden Lotus of Merit? How dare you blatantly flirt with Tongtian? Are you tired of living? Hongjun frowned, flicked his finger, and the frozen Golden Lotus came back to life, but this time the petals trembled even more wildly, completely without order! It's unbearable to look at. Go and calm down in the Three Lights Divine Water Pool!
With a whoosh, Jinlian was mercilessly tossed by Hongjun into a nearby pool, where she sank to the bottom with a splash…
Jinlian: I %#&#！ ！ ！ Having been successfully muted, Jinlian, feeling utterly hopeless, slowly floated back up, appearing brazenly on the water's surface in the same position she had been knocked over.
Hongjun sneered, "You've been spoiled rotten?!" With a flick of his hand, the golden lotus was flipped over by an invisible force, and its petals were even forcibly opened slightly... Hmm, that's more like it. Tongtian likes the way the golden lotus petals sway in the wind, so you just stay in this position!
Jinlian shuddered, tears welling in her eyes as she succumbed to Hongjun's lewd power. Who could understand? The moment her petals were torn apart, she felt unclean, unworthy of the golden light that emanated from her! She felt like she had been sexually assaulted!
The cub, oblivious to Jinlian's inner turmoil, stared blankly at Hongjun, who had come before him and was patting his head, clutching the Heart-Piercing Lock. It asked pitifully, "Jinlian... ran away?"
"You like the Golden Lotus? I'll give it to you... Don't look so sad anymore." I gently pinched the cub's chubby cheeks. The feel was really nice. Hmm, I'm quite satisfied.
"Brother is so nice, thank you brother~ hehe..." The cub rubbed against Hongjun obediently, its eyebrows and eyes beaming with joy, as if there were stars in its eyes.
Infected by the cub's joy, Hongjun felt the furry touch in his palm and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.
No, the urge to take Tuanzi back to Zixiao Palace is getting stronger and stronger. How can he not have such a well-behaved and affectionate little dumpling who won't throw a tantrum as long as he pets her?
I wonder if Tuanzi's older brother will mind... Whether he minds or not, I don't need to listen to their opinions anyway. They managed to lose their little brother right under my nose, it's outrageous! It's obviously a careless habit; if they don't correct it sooner or later, it'll cause trouble... Hmm, I might as well take this opportunity to teach them a lesson. Such a well-behaved and adorable Tuanzi shouldn't be cared for by troublesome parents; if they spoil him, it'll be a huge loss...
After considering the matter several times, Hongjun finally made up his mind. He picked up the cub that was still at his feet, affectionately poked the cub's face, and gently coaxed, "Good boy, would you like to come to Zixiao Palace with your master?"
"Zixiao Palace? Where is that? Is it fun?" The cub asked with its big, bright eyes, almost innocently.
"I guarantee it'll be even more fun than your time in Kunlun Mountain, plus you'll find your favorite fluffy spirit beasts, treasures, and more!"
"Okay, Tongtian is willing~" The cub clapped its hands happily, gladly accepting all the temptations offered by its future teacher, and willingly took the bait.
"Good boy, go ahead, don't rush." Hongjun finally breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a satisfied smile.
I got the dumpling!
The two older brothers, pitiful and tragic, tried every possible method to find their younger brother, but to no avail. After countless arguments and fights, they despaired, thinking that if their younger brother remained missing, neither alive nor dead, they were so disheartened that they even considered how they would die.
Waaaaaah, Third Brother, where are you?! Stop playing hide-and-seek, please! Your older brothers are worried sick... Please come home!
