"Ah Tong! Ah Tong! I'm here!"
Before the man who was speaking could enter, Adam rushed in like a gust of wind.
She jumped up and bounced onto Tongsu, asking curiously as she did so, "You haven't grown up yet? Are you going to stay like this forever? But you'll look quite pretty when you grow up. I just wonder when I'll grow up!"
Sixty years have passed in the human world. Ordinary people may have lived more than half of their lifespan, but for cultivators, it's just a matter of going into seclusion.
Adang looked a few years older, appearing to be just over 15, and a head shorter than Tongsu. When he jumped up, he completely lost his petite, delicate charm. Adang had no choice but to give up regretfully, only putting his arm around Tongsu's waist and giggling softly.
"Tongtong, if you grow a little taller, I can jump right into my master's arms. If you grow taller like that, I'll be taller than you when I jump!"
Tong Su pinched her cheek: "Aren't you the shortest?"
Adam said smugly, "But I'm young."
She is indeed the youngest.
Although Adang was also human, she was taken in by her master at a very young age and fed with lots and lots of elixirs in her childhood until she became an immortal.
Logically speaking, this method of achieving immortality is not impossible, but a normal human body cannot withstand such powerful immortal energy; the person would explode and die before even achieving immortality.
Adam, however, was exceptionally fortunate:
Taiqing Laozi, the most skilled alchemist among the Three Pure Ones, is her eldest grandmaster; Yuqing Yuanshi, the most powerful among the Three Pure Ones, is her second grandmaster; and Shangqing Tongtian, the strongest in combat among the Three Pure Ones, is her master.
With the three Great Primordial Saints protecting her at the same time, how could she possibly be in danger?
Nuwa laughed and scolded, "My three senior brothers, why did you have to barge in? Do you think I, your junior sister, would refuse to let you in?"
She swayed her snake tail and went to the front door to greet them herself.
Taiqing Laozi entered first with a smile. He was an old man with a sage-like appearance and a long, snow-white beard, followed by his only disciple, the Grand Master Xuandu.
Now that the prehistoric world is in turmoil, he takes his only son with him wherever he goes, fearing that Xuandu might be in danger.
After exchanging a few warm words with Nuwa, he gestured to Grand Master Xuandu to take out several golden gourds as a greeting gift for Tongsu and Yinyou:
"These are the elixirs I refined at the Eight Views Palace. Give one gourd to this girl, and to the ten boys of the Di Jun family. Take them back and enjoy them slowly."
Tong Su's eyelids twitched rapidly.
This gourd feels heavy and full as soon as you hold it, exuding a strong aura of immortality and containing powerful energy—perhaps this is what that monkey that caused havoc in the Heavenly Court in later generations ate.
Following behind were Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian, both young and handsome men. However, Yuanshi maintained a solemn and dignified expression, sporting a half-foot-long beard and making no attempt to conceal his cold and aloof demeanor.
Tongtian appeared even younger, with long, narrow, noble phoenix eyes, yet a smile played on his lips. Dressed in white, he was as dashing as the wind, his brows radiating spirit. Holding a cyan-silver folding fan, he laughed heartily: "I'm just testing the defensive formation of Nuwa Palace for you, to see if it can stop a saint from intruding."
He doesn't seem like an unparalleled powerhouse at all; instead, he's like a chivalrous knight-errant who lives a life of pleasure and vengeance, traveling with his beloved disciple, upholding justice, and turning laughter and anger into literary works. Everyone in the palace has their own secrets, but he is the most unrestrained and romantic.
He was so free, he didn't seem like a saint with heavy responsibilities at all.
