Chapter 54
As soon as the fickle child entered the room, he looked towards the couch on the other side.
On the soft couch, the large black dog had shifted from lying on its side to sprawling, sound asleep. The small blanket Suisui had earlier used to cover it was still securely draped over it, adding a touch of childish cuteness to the otherwise majestic black dog.
When Jiang Mingyan and Sui Sui left in the early morning, the dark markings on the big black dog's body were still light, mixed among the black hair, and could be easily overlooked.
But now, those flame-like lines swirled majestically on the hair, like leaping dark flames, ready to ignite a raging fire in the next moment.
Jiang Mingyan had just put the chubby baby in his arms on the bed and hadn't helped the baby take off his shoes when he saw Sui Sui move his two chubby little feet and roll his round little body to the side a few times to avoid his fingers.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Mingyan asked the little fat boy softly with a smile in his eyes.
"Brother, Suisui wants to go see Dahei. Can you let Suisui walk over by herself?" Suisui begged in a soft baby voice when her brother raised his eyes to look at her.
The little fat boy's pupils are pure black, round and bright, like a clear and pure spring.
At that moment, he looked over eagerly, his gaze focused with an unconscious dependence, his pleading expression pitiful and adorable. Jiang Mingyan looked at him, and saw a tiny reflection of himself in those big, dark eyes.
Jiang Mingyan fell silent.
If there was a blood bar above his head, Jiang Mingyan's blood bar would have dropped steadily in just a few breaths, and in the end only a trace of blood would remain, still struggling to resist.
After a moment, he sighed helplessly, stood up and took the little fat boy off the bed: "Okay."
Sui Sui cheered softly, and as soon as the little fat boy's feet touched the ground, he stretched out his short legs and ran towards the soft couch.
"Years."
But before the little fat boy could take a step, his brother grabbed him like a kitten and said, "Wait."
The little fat boy looked up at his brother, bewildered. "Huh?"
What's wrong?
"Sui Sui, please don't touch Da Hei. Just watch from the side for a while, okay?" Jiang Mingyan patiently explained the reason to the little fat boy, "Brother told Sui Sui before that Da Hei is in the process of awakening his bloodline. Sui Sui, look at the dark patterns on Da Hei's body. Do they look familiar?"
"No." The little fat boy shook his head without thinking: "Sui Sui doesn't remember~"
Jiang Mingyan paused.
He looked at the little white dumpling with sparkling eyes in front of him, a gentle yet helpless light shimmering in his phoenix eyes: "Who said he had a good memory? I think Sui Sui should stop listening to me talk about what I just saw in the illusion. We can't remember it anyway, right?"
"No, no!" At this moment, Sui Sui shook his little head faster.
"Just think about it every now and then, and you'll remember it soon!" The little fat boy moved his little body, took his brother's slender hand with distinct joints and held it in his arms, and begged pitifully with his little face tilted up.
Jiang Mingyan looked at the little fat boy and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can Suisui remember it?"
"Yes, yes!" The little fat boy was very well behaved at this time, and the soft flesh on his cheeks trembled as he nodded.
"Then go and see Sui Sui." Jiang Mingyan moved his arms, but the little guy still held him tightly, as if he would never let go.
A faint smile flashed in Jiang Mingyan's eyes, but the expression on his handsome face did not relax at all. In this posture, he moved the little fat boy forward and let him look at the patterns on the big black dog's body.
Sui Sui quickly tilted his head to look.
Looking at the little guy's awkward posture, Jiang Mingyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He walked a few steps to the side, squatted down, and moved the cub hanging on his arm so that the cub no longer had to twist its body awkwardly.
"Brother is so nice." Sui Sui immediately said in a baby voice.
The little mouth is chattering.
Jiang Mingyan wanted to sigh again. However, this time it was a soft sigh from the tip of his heart.
"Look quickly." He said calmly.
Suisui nodded, opened his big black round eyes, and looked very serious.
"Sui Sui remembered it! It's the Xuanyan Spirit Dog!" After thinking hard for a while, the little fat boy had an idea and immediately said excitedly.
"Sui Sui got it right." Jiang Mingyan turned Sui Sui's round body around and looked directly into the little cub's bright black eyes: "Does Sui Sui know what he did wrong just now?"
The little fat boy looked at his brother in confusion.
"It's okay if Sui Sui doesn't know. It's okay if she really can't remember." Jiang Mingyan said slowly, "Sui Sui is still young and can learn slowly. But Sui Sui can't be lazy and just tell her brother she doesn't know without even trying."
"Look, Sui Sui, if you just think about it for a while, you'll remember it, right?"
"Sui Sui was wrong." The fat boy's hair drooped softly, and he looked like a listless sapling. "Sui Sui didn't want to use his brain just now, he just wanted to listen to his brother, so he said he didn't know. Sui Sui won't do that again in the future."
"It's okay." Jiang Mingyan pulled the little fat boy closer, his cold eyes softening. "In front of your brother, Sui Sui can look any way she wants. Your brother will never dislike Sui Sui. But, Sui Sui can't develop the bad habit of not wanting to try, okay?"
"Okay." The little fat boy said seriously, "I'll remember it."
"Sui Sui is awesome." Jiang Mingyan nudged the fat kid's round cheek and asked with a smile, "Can you let go of your brother's arm now?"
"Of course!" The little fat boy immediately perked up after receiving his brother's gentle caress. Smiling, he happily agreed, then asked softly, "Why can't Sui Sui touch Da Hei?"
Jiang Mingyan pulled his arm free, picked up the little fat boy, and stood up, looking at the big black dog on the soft couch: "The Black Flame Spirit Dog is gifted with spiritual flames by heaven, and its five elements belong to fire. Dahei is now awakening his bloodline, and the fire spirit power in his body is blazing. If you touch it every day, your little hands will be burned red."
"What about the little blanket? How come Big Black doesn't damage it?" the little fat boy asked curiously.
"We should be staying in a room specially prepared for cultivators in the inn. Everything inside contains spiritual energy. And Dahei is just awakening his bloodline, he is not going to destroy the house." Jiang Mingyan rubbed the fat boy's round head.
"Oh~ so that's it!" Sui Sui blinked her bright black eyes and said in a baby voice expectantly: "Da Hei, please wake up quickly. Sui Sui wants to see the spiritual flame."
"Okay, wait until Dahei wakes up and Suisui will discuss it with Dahei." Jiang Mingyan lowered his eyes to glance at the little fat cub, his eyes soft.
But when he turned his gaze to the big black dog again, a hint of sharpness emerged.
Dahei has always looked like an ordinary big dog. To be honest, he is indeed stronger than other dogs.
But all of this can be explained by the fact that Uncle Chen raised his children well.
Even if the blood of the Black Flame Spirit Dog has been hidden in Dahei's body, it is likely to be very weak and almost impossible to find.
From an ordinary beast to a spiritual beast, every step is like a huge chasm. How can it be explained simply by the fact that Dahei has been eating food containing spiritual energy for the past two years?
The biggest incident during this period was that Fenggulang broke into Quyuan Manor at night.
What exactly happened that night?
Jiang Mingyan suppressed his chaotic thoughts and asked the little girl in his arms calmly, "Does Sui Sui want to go to bed?"
"Yes!" The little fat boy nodded repeatedly: "I also want to hear what happened in the illusion~"
"Okay." Jiang Mingyan scratched the tip of the little fat boy's nose lovingly: "I'll tell Sui Sui right away."
Suisui giggled, and as soon as her little butt touched the bed, she fell down softly, raised her chubby feet, and handed them to her brother, shaking them to attract her brother's attention.
Even though the little fat boy didn't say anything, Jiang Mingyan knew it and reached out helplessly: "Little rascal."
After her shoes were taken off by her brother, Sui Sui rolled into the bed, lay down, and looked at her brother expectantly.
Under the eager gaze of the little fat boy, his brother sat down beside the bed.
Sui Sui rolled over to his brother's side again and rested his furry head on his brother's legs.
The fat kid felt someone gently rub his furry head. Then, his elder brother said gently, "In the illusion, after covering Sui Sui's eyes, after a while, the white-clothed men lying on the ground turned into points of light and dissipated. Does Sui Sui remember that huge and sacred palace complex? That must be a spiritual weapon."
"One corner was struck by a powerful force, shrinking it and returning to its original shape, resembling a broken piece of porcelain. By chance, that corner ended up outside of Xihua Town and was found by an ancestor of the Luo family."
The elder brother's clear voice slowly recounted the past, buried in time: "The Luo family's ancestors didn't know what the fragment was, but they instinctively knew it was useful, so they carefully hid it."
"In an accident, he dropped some blood on the fragments and found that they became brighter."
"So, he had a sinister plan. He lured his brother out and used his brother's blood to open the secret realm."
"The secret realm is only a tiny corner of the spiritual weapon. It has lost its spiritual power supply and can no longer transform. It can only remain in fragments, awaiting the day when it will be completely reduced to mortal form." The brother paused. "Human flesh and blood contain spiritual energy, which is why some demonic beasts prefer to eat humans. Because of this, the fragments can only transform back to their original form after receiving spiritual power."
"But mortals who have never practiced cultivation have limited spiritual energy in their bodies. Once that spiritual energy is exhausted, the fragments will naturally be unable to continue to support themselves. To outsiders, it will appear that the secret realm has dissipated."
"There's actually nothing in there. After the Luo family ancestor escaped, he buried the fragments in the grass outside of Xihua Town. He left with his brother, but returned alone. Human hearts are unpredictable, and some things just get passed down."
"But there's nothing. What's with that golden light?" Sui Sui was puzzled. She looked at her brother obediently with her round black eyes.
"Sui Sui, have you seen the spiritual pattern on your brother's forehead?" Jiang Mingyan tapped Sui Sui's forehead lightly: "Sui Sui has one here too."
"Woo?" The little fat boy was curious and shook his brother's finger. "I'll see!"
Jiang Mingyan condensed a water mirror and let the little fat boy look at himself.
Suisui lay on her brother's legs, shaking her little feet and looking at the spiritual pattern expectantly.
"Hmm..." The little fat boy moved his head back and forth, admiring it carefully, and finally concluded: "It looks good!"
"Just as beautiful as my brother's!"
Jiang Mingyan laughed and continued, "I've seen this spiritual pattern in A-niang's manuscript. Sui Sui, do you think those white-robed people also have such spiritual patterns on their foreheads? Although their forms are different, the aura patterns are similar."
"Sui Sui knows!" The little fat boy mumbled the information and said happily, "We are the same! They are from A Niang's tribe, right?"
