"Why...why are you crying?" Xiaoxiao was at a loss when she saw Fengguang's tears.
"It's all because of you!" Shang Baizi put down his rice bowl and walked over, panting. He didn't know where this little girl got such good running skills, without even breaking a sweat, while he was the only one who was exhausted.
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and didn't say anything, her cheeks puffed up like steamed buns.
"It's not your fault...it's my fault." Feng Guang said, touching Xiao Xiao's face. She should have thought of it earlier. This child had Crimson Fire Silk and a name called Xiao Xiao. However, she thought that Xiao Xiao's family background was extraordinary, so it was not surprising that she had Crimson Fire Silk. She did not think at all that she would return to seven hundred years ago.
Shang Baizi sensed something was wrong with his junior sister, so he went to Xuan Qingzi, who was about to doze off again, and whispered, "Master, what's wrong with junior sister?"
"It cannot be said, it cannot be said." Xuan Qingzi muttered these words in a charlatan-like manner, then drifted off to sleep again.
Shang Baizi felt even more puzzled.
Feng Guang asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, how old are you this year?"
"Hmm...it seems so..." Xiaoxiao blinked and thought for a while, "It seems to be about seven hundred years old..."
Shang Baizi screamed, "What!?"
Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said, "Is it strange that I'm seven hundred years old?"
Feng Guang's heart pounded wildly, "Then Xiao Xiao... why is she still only this tall?"
"Shouldn't someone who's seven hundred years old be as tall as me?"
Feng Guang guessed that perhaps she didn't understand because she didn't have any other children around her, so she explained, "If someone is seven hundred years old, in the mortal world, for an ordinary cultivator, that would be like my master."
"Huh?" Xiaoxiao looked at Xuan Qingzi, then said as if she was frightened, "I don't want to become so ugly! The ghost uncles and aunties all said that I grow very fast. Compared to a hundred years ago, I've even grown a little taller!"
"The ghost uncles and aunts that Xiaoxiao mentioned, do they all live in a place... where the environment is very different from the human world?"
"Mmm!" Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly. When she first came to the human world, she was startled by the scenery here.
Feng Guang now understood that it was the Ghost Realm that had altered Xiao Xiao's growth rate; both physically and mentally, she was still just a seven-year-old child.
"Xiaoxiao..." she continued, "Did your father give you the hair tie and the red string with the bell?"
Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, one day I was almost eaten by a very fierce ghost. My father saved me. He said I always caused him trouble, so he gave me this. He said that my mother had cast a spell on the red string, which can protect me from harm."
Red rope...isn't that Crimson Fire Silk?!
Shang Baizi's fan fell to the ground in astonishment. He remembered that just a few months ago, when he went to see Feng Guang, he had witnessed Feng Guang diligently applying magic to the Crimson Fire Silk. Could it be...?
There's nothing left to be certain about.
Feng Guang asked hesitantly, "Xiao Xiao... if I said... I am... I am the mother you're looking for... would you believe me?"
Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Shang Baizi was also stunned.
The way these two people froze was surprisingly in sync.
Fearing she wouldn't believe him, Feng Guang added, "I remember... when I gave birth to you on Vast Peak, you had two small black wings on your back. I even asked your father if he had wings too..."
Xiaoxiao replied blankly, "Daddy later told Xiaoxiao... that these are black wings unique to the lineage of the Demon King... and that Xiaoxiao can hide them..."
