"Brother, brother~" A crisp, childlike voice rang in his ears. Before Zuan could react to the sudden change in the world, a beautiful little girl with delicate features opened her arms. "Brother, hug me!"
Zuan was a little dazed. What was going on?
But the little girl in front of me was just too cute, with red lips and white teeth, and her hair was tied up in various delicate little braids. She looked like a porcelain doll.
He instinctively opened his arms and hugged the other's chubby little body.
"Brother is the best." The little girl tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, then looked at the drool on his face and giggled.
Zuan: "..."
He didn't even have time to be angry, because he discovered a terrifying fact: his body wasn't much bigger than the little girl's; with her small arms and legs, she was clearly a child of about ten years old.
"Rejuvenation?" Zuan was a little confused. He remembered that just a second ago he was Wu Ding, an old man who was about to die. How did he become a child again?
And where is this?
He looked around and found the surroundings both familiar and unfamiliar.
What's familiar is that the terrain and environment resemble an old royal palace, but what's unfamiliar is that these houses are quite different.
Having reigned as emperor for over fifty years, he was intimately familiar with every inch of the palace. These rooms before him were clearly very different from those he had experienced back then.
"My brother is mean, he ignores me." The little girl in his arms pouted and said angrily.
"Brother?" Zuan's chaotic thoughts finally returned to reality. Looking at the adorable little girl in his arms, he was taken aback and tentatively asked, "Manman?"
In his previous life, he experienced a life-or-death separation from Pei Mianman. This scene is clearly another trial. He wonders if Pei Mianman came along.
"What Manman? Bad brother doesn't even remember my name. My name is Sancai." The little girl reached out with both hands to pinch his cheeks. Although she was angry, she was too young and the pinching didn't hurt at all; in fact, it felt quite comfortable.
“Tricolor…” Zu An was stunned. Suddenly, a flood of memories came back to him. His name was Xian, and he was the son of King Wen Ding of the Shang Dynasty. As for this Wen Ding, he searched his memory and roughly concluded that Wen Ding’s great-great-grandfather was Wu Ding.
A thousand curses raced through his mind. He had actually become the son of his grandson's grandson. What kind of nonsense was this?
In my memory, he was also told that he had two younger sisters. The younger sister was the little girl Sancai, who was in my arms and had a delicate, pink face. The other sister was slightly older and named Mu.
Only then did he notice a young girl standing by the railing. Although she was younger than him, she was already a beauty in the making, with arched eyebrows, a small mouth, and skin as white and delicate as snow, with a cascade of black hair.
What's most striking are her eyes, as captivating as the most precious gems, occasionally radiating a hint of allure.
Good heavens! She's only a little girl of about ten years old, yet she's already so devastating. What will she be like when she grows up?
The girl's expression was somewhat strange when she saw him, but she still bowed and said softly, "Brother~"
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. This little girl's voice was so soft and charming. Even he, who had been an emperor all his life and was used to seeing beautiful women, was captivated by it. She was truly a bewitching enchantress.
"Hey, little sister," he replied, but he didn't have time to think about these things now. He was trying to figure out what this trial was all about, what this level would test, and where Manman was. Did she really die in the last trial?
Thinking of this, his eyes reddened, and his heart ached as if it were being torn apart. In his previous life, he could still numb himself by drinking heavily and living a life of debauchery in the palace. But when he finally found the pendant that Pei Mianman had given him, many memories returned, and the sadness that had been suppressed for decades burst out in an instant, making him unable to control himself anymore.
"Brother, why are you crying?" Sancai, who was in his arms, noticed his unusual behavior and hurriedly wiped away his tears. Unfortunately, her little hands were not enough to wipe them all. She hurriedly called to the side, "Sister, sister, come and see what's wrong with brother. Did I make him angry?"
A girl named Mu came to his side, exuding a faint fragrance, and asked gently, "Brother, what's wrong?"
For a moment, Zu An was in a daze, and for some moments it felt as if Pei Mianman was standing beside him asking him questions. But then he remembered that he had buried her with his own hands in his previous life, so how could it be the little girl in front of him?
"Brother, let me play games with you," Sancai said with a smile, trying to comfort him in her own way.
A girl named Mu came over and took his hand.
Having lived through his previous life, Zuan's heart was riddled with wounds, and he had no interest in playing games with two little brats. Unfortunately, he couldn't resist their persistent pleading and finally started playing games with them.
Looking at the two little girls' delicate and beautiful appearance, and hearing their innocent laughter, Zu An's originally gloomy expression gradually softened, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
At least for this moment, he could forget the pain in his heart for a little while.
Sancai, being a child at heart, fell asleep in Zuan's arms after playing for a while. Looking at her chubby baby face and innocent expression, she looked extremely cute.
When a line of drool dripped from the corner of her mouth, Zu An could no longer hold back and smiled.
"He really is a lecherous fellow, not even letting such a young girl go." A soft snort came from the side at this moment.
Zuan was taken aback and subconsciously looked up at the girl beside him. Such mature words were really not something a young girl like him should say.
