"We're fine, Xiaoxi, aren't you an adult yet?"
Since Long Xi could neither hear nor see, Chi Sui repeated what Zhang Su said verbally.
Long Xi's eyes were filled with tears and she subconsciously turned her back, not wanting Zhang Su to see her feeling aggrieved.
Seeing Zhang Su's worried look like an old father, Chi Sui roughly told him what had happened since Long Xi arrived here.
Zhang Su's expression grew increasingly grim. Finally, he said gravely, "I understand, Sui Sui. Don't worry. I will send you the natural resources Xiao Xi needs for adulthood in batches via video. Xiao Xi...he's frail, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of him."
Chi Sui glanced at Long Xi, who had turned his back and was secretly crying but had been listening to what Chi Sui was saying, and smiled: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."
In the fifth hour of the video call, the call between the two was forcibly closed by the system.
The two agreed to have a video call on time tomorrow, and Zhang Su and his wife would send over the spiritual jade that Long Xi needed to replenish his body for adulthood.
That night, Chi Sui had a rare good sleep.
Long Xi sat in the garden all night in a daze, holding Prime Minister Turtle.
Ruan Ruan and his companions stayed in Chi Sui Castle for one night and left the next morning.
At this moment, Ruan Ruan, who was supposed to be resting, was standing in Charles' lounge.
Charles held her in his arms, his lips curled up, his eyes red and paranoid: "Soon...soon...you will belong to me..."
Ruan Ruan lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her voice was soft and firm: "Charles, I'll wait for you."
The two hugged each other tightly.
In the corridor, Dennis stood outside the door, smiling. If Chi Sui was here, he would be able to see that Dennis was not normal at the moment.
His azure eyes stared through the door at the two people hugging each other tightly, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "Dennis, my child, the woman you fell in love with... is really not simple."
No one responded.
But Dennis seemed to have heard a response and chuckled: "Don't worry, her current plan just happens to benefit me. I won't deal with her."
"Okay, okay, I promised you I wouldn't do anything to her."
Dennis left, and soon after, Ruan Ruan walked out of Charles' room and returned to her own room.
………………
The day after Chi Sui's birthday party, she met Long Xi's mother.
She was a very beautiful and gentle woman.
She has blonde hair and golden eyes, the appearance of a typical oriental beauty, and the clothes she wears are as gorgeous and shining as clouds.
But perhaps because Long Xi disappeared for no apparent reason, she looked very tired.
Zhang Su introduced Jin Piaoliang and Chi Sui to each other and greeted them. Strangely, Jin Piaoliang seemed to know Chi Sui and looked at him with gentle and friendly eyes.
Chi Sui's gaze was very similar to Zhang Su's. He was curious why Jin Piaoliang could see him. Zhang Su said that a few years ago, in order to find Long Xi, he and his wife went to an ancient secret realm and found an ancient mirror. Jin Piaoliang pointed the ancient mirror at Zhang Su's system interface, and could see and hear the image on the screen from the ancient mirror.
Chi Sui glanced at Long Xi, who was sitting upright next to him and couldn't find the screen at all. He felt a little distressed and thought, it would be great if Long Xi also had an ancient mirror like this.
When Jin Piaoliang saw Long Xi's current appearance, her eyes couldn't help but become wet and she burst into tears.
It’s just that crying look… well… how should I put it… other people cry “wuwuwuwu”, but Jin Piaoliang cries “geegege”.
Next, Chi Sui explained and translated to Long Xi. Long Xi listened carefully. He knew that the couple opposite could hear him, so he gradually relaxed and talked about his own things.
Of course, he only reported good news and not bad news. Even so, Jin Piaoliang still cried and made a series of goose-goose-goose sounds.
Zhang Su, also known as Long Aotian, also cried, but he cried more subtly.
Chi Sui received a lot of things from Long Aotian through the system.
There was the spiritual golden dragon bed that Long Xi slept on when he was a child, many extremely beautiful corals and agates, baskets of descendants of Long Aotian's shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and countless spiritual jades.
The study was filled with these things, and only after the system issued a warning to close the transaction page did Long Aotian restrain himself.
This went on for several days, and Long Xi absorbed the spiritual clouds every day until he was intoxicated by spiritual energy, but his body was still very weak.
Jin Piaoliang explained that Long Xi was now like a dry sponge with limited absorption capacity. Even if they gave Long Xi a mountain of spiritual jade a day, assuming he was able to absorb it completely, it would take at least half a year for him to come out of the state of being about to fall asleep.
Chi Sui was a little surprised at first, but when he thought about how Long Xi had spent more than a hundred years as a child, soaking in such an environment full of spiritual energy every day, and yet he could only stay barely healthy, he felt relieved.
In short, with Long Xi's current physical condition and absorption ability, it will take at least a year for him to completely get out of this bad state of deep sleep.
As for adulthood?
Then add another year.
Chi Sui counted on his fingers and realized that Long Xi would still need two years to reach adulthood. In two years, he would be 27 years old...
cough………
Chi Sui thought, by then she wouldn't be considered an old cow eating young grass! After all... Long Xi is more than three hundred years old!
Long Aotian and Jin Piaoliang would video chat with Chi Sui every day to see their son and give him gifts.
But...
It took five hours, and Chi Sui also had to relay the news to Long Xi, so he didn't have much time to prepare for running for queen.
So Chi Sui prepared during the day and made video calls in the evening. He did this for more than ten days and lost a lot of weight.
Long Xi couldn't stand it anymore, so during a phone call, he asked Chi Sui to get him some cookies, and he told his parents on the screen about what had happened recently.
So when Chi Sui came back, Long Aotian and Jin Piaoliang told Chi Sui to focus on preparing for the queen election and they would call him back in a few days.
In the next few days, Chi Sui lived a refined and luxurious life.
Jin Piaoliang gave her a lot of things, including food, clothing, and beautiful fabrics that could be used as magic tools, as well as Chi Sui’s favorite eternal youth pills!
With happy and meticulous preparations, time flew by and it was mid-December.
Chi Sui was wearing the beautiful little dress that Jin Piaoliang made for her, and her skin was translucent and fair.
"Sui Sui, when you run for queen, you can do a live broadcast for your aunt~~"
Jin Piaoliang was on the other side of the screen, pushing Long Aotian away and occupying the entire screen by herself.
Chi Sui drank a mouthful of the nectar Jin Piaoliang gave him, his eyes curved, "Okay."
Long Xi came over, and said helplessly, "Mother, can you please stop telling me bedtime stories?"
Jin Piaoliang paused while cracking melon seeds: "Why? You always liked it when you were a kid."
The corner of Long Xi's mouth twitched: "The bedtime stories you chose are all horror stories. When I was a child, I pulled the quilt over me early because I was scared."
Jin Piaoliang: …………
"No way, Xiao Xi, are you still afraid of these stories now that you're almost an adult?"
Long Xi rubbed his forehead and said, "No, it was only after I came here that I realized that not all children's bedtime stories are horror stories."
Jin Piaoliang: ………
