"You, come here!!"
Jiang Ji said, "Big brother is angry, let's go over there quickly."
"Wait a minute..." Jiang Chi didn't have time to stop it, and was thrown away by a powerful force.
The next second, the two brothers were forced to kneel down.
The phantom stood before them, its eyes bloodshot, its deep voice filled with rage.
"Jiang Ji! Jiang Chi! You're running around again!"
Jiang Ji screamed, "Waaah! Big brother has transformed again! What do we do now?"
Jiang Chi remained very calm. "This is the 'Anger' spirit, representing my elder brother's anger. He's angry that we ran around recklessly, angry that we left without saying goodbye, angry that we..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Jiang Ji had a headache. "These things aren't important. What's important is how to quell Big Brother's anger."
The illusory figure raised its hand and gripped his chin tightly. "Why did you come here? Why?!"
Jiang Ji was forced to look up and stare directly into the crimson eyes.
He tried to escape but couldn't; his elder brother's hands were like iron clamps, pinning him to the ground.
That angry guy is terrifying!
Why is he always the one who gets hurt?
Jiang Ji couldn't speak, but she cried out for help with her eyes.
Jiang Chi steeled himself, took out a yellow talisman, and threw it at the illusory figure. "Big brother, I'm sorry."
A flash of golden light, and the phantom fell to the ground, its eyes wide open, suppressing its anger.
Jiang Ji rubbed his aching chin. "Cough cough, is Big Brother still alive?"
Jiang Chi picked up the yellow talisman. "It's nothing, just a freezing talisman."
Jiang Ji asked, "How much do we need for this brother?"
Jiang Chi knelt down without hesitation and bowed his head to accept the scolding.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ji knelt down as well.
He didn't understand, "Why are you kneeling down?"
Jiang Chi straightened his back. "I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake to my elder brother."
He used to resent his older brother's punishments.
Now he wants his older brother to punish him, to scold him, to yell at him.
Brother, I'm sorry, please come back soon.
I will never be willful again, never run around recklessly, and never do anything to hurt myself again...
Jiang Chi lowered his eyes, suppressing the urge to cry.
Jiang Ji, without any restraint, burst into tears, crying loudly, "Big brother, come back quickly, come back quickly..."
The two brothers knelt for half an hour before the phantom's anger finally subsided.
They found four of the four souls, traveling all over the country from east to west, south to north, until only the last soul, "love," remained.
Jiang Ji and Jiang Chi started searching from the Northeast, but after half a month they still haven't found it.
The red dot representing "Love Soul" is constantly shifting between different places, making it impossible to locate.
Jiang Ji was exhausted. "We only have one week left. Let's go back to our sister and ask her for help."
"Little brother, why aren't you saying anything?"
Jiang Chi put one hand in his pocket, looking at the national map, his gaze sweeping from Jiangcheng, Gangdu, and Hancheng to southern Yunnan.
He suddenly understood, "I know where the last soul fragment is?"
Jiang Ji asked blankly, "Where?"
Jiang Chi didn't say anything, but grabbed his second brother and headed straight for the capital.
The two rushed home, travel-worn, only to find a familiar, blurry figure standing at the door, a gentle smile on his face.
"Xiao Ji, Xiao Chi, you're back."
Jiang Ji's eyes were brimming with tears. "Big brother, sob sob."
The illusory figure patted his head, its tone as familiar as ever, "Xiao Ji has grown up, he's a big boy now, don't cry, don't cry."
Jiang Ji finally understood.
The last soul was at home, their home.
My eldest brother loves them the most.
...
After more than two months, the five souls were finally found.
Jiang Ji and Jiang Chi didn't dare to stop for a moment and hurriedly ran to the Imperial Garden.
"Sister! Sister! Are you there?"
Lin Xi opened the door and was startled by the two people in front of her.
A face streaked with tears, shattered beyond repair.
His eyes have lost their light; he's no longer the cool boy he used to be.
Lin Xi coughed lightly, "What happened to you two? Were you attacked by a ghost on the way?"
"No, little sister!" Jiang Ji pounded her chest. "I just found out that big brother loves us so much, waaaaah!"
Lin Xi took a tissue and wiped away his tears. "Okay, don't cry. I'll bring your brother back right away."
She reached out, and Jiang Chi took out a Soul-Nourishing Talisman.
Lin Xi took the talisman and walked back, making hand seals to merge the five spirits into Jiang Ting's soul.
A moment later, a figure appeared under the tree, with a cold face, deep-set eyes, and his amber eyes regained their brilliance.
He smiled slightly.
“Little clearing, little pond, babbling brook…”
"Big brother is back."
