Madam Ji reached out and patted his head. "It's alright. From now on, you can treat me as your mother."
The tiger eagle swished its head and raised its head.
For some reason, he felt a warm aura emanating from this mortal.
My heart felt like it had been hit by something, a bittersweet feeling.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Qiqi, with her face blindness, raised her little wrist high, revealing the lustrous white jade bracelet.
The little voice was full of pride, "And this is Bai Xuan! He turned into a bracelet to accompany Qi Qi! He's so smart, he has the bloodline of an ancient snake! He can turn into a snake, this big one, and he swims so fast, like flying."
The white jade bracelet seemed to sense the introduction, and a soft halo appeared on it as a greeting.
Grandma Huo and Madam Ji were shocked once again: an ancient mythical beast?
My little darling went out and not only brought back a "person", but also kidnapped a mythical beast?
"Where's Brother Jiu?" Qiqi asked, her big eyes searching around after she finished showing off.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yusen ran downstairs. When he saw Qiqi, his eyes lit up, but he still maintained the composure of a young boy, only his pace quickened considerably. "Qiqi, you're back."
"Brother Xiao Jiu!" Qi Qi rushed over and hugged Huo Xiao Jiu's arm again. "Qi Qi brought you so many stories! The secret realm was so exciting!"
The family reunited, and the living room was filled with laughter and joy.
Qiqi was surrounded by people, chattering about what she had seen and heard in the secret realm.
Of course, she glossed over the dangerous part, focusing instead on how brave she was and how amazing her new partner was.
Huo Yuwei occasionally added to the discussion, while Hu Ying was so engrossed in the various snacks served by the Huo family chefs that he couldn't even lift his head, completely conquered by human cuisine.
He had never eaten anything so delicious.
At this moment, he deeply felt how right it was to come back with Qiqi.
"Little White, do you want something to eat?" Seeing how happily Tiger Eagle was eating, Qi Qi didn't forget Bai Xuan either.
The white jade bracelet on her wrist flashed twice, indicating her refusal.
Qiqi sighed regretfully, "Alright then, if you don't want to eat them, that's fine. These snacks are all delicious, but the meat made by Grandma Huo's chef is even better. You can eat them for dinner later."
She was desperate; if she didn't eat soon, she would starve to death.
Qiqi ate heartily.
Tiger Eagle, who had been fighting with her for food, immediately put down his snacks when he heard that there would be meat in the meal.
This little thing is delicious, but it's not as appealing as meat.
Grandma Huo and Madam Ji were amused by his gluttonous behavior, which was exactly like Qi Qi's.
However, this warm and harmonious atmosphere was soon interrupted by an unusual chill.
Qiqi, who was talking enthusiastically, suddenly stopped, sniffed lightly with her little nose, and frowned slightly.
"Qiqi, what's wrong?" Madam Ji was the first to notice her daughter's unusual behavior.
Qiqi raised her little face, her expression somewhat serious. "Mom, I can feel Brother Li Jun's presence. He seems very anxious, as if something has happened."
As soon as she finished speaking, the lights in the living room seemed to flicker, and a faint, restless, cold wind swirled in.
Huo Yuwei and Huo Yusen immediately became alert, and Grandma Huo and Madam Ji were also somewhat nervous.
Only Qiqi took out a talisman from her small bag.
On the way back, she refined new pills and talismans and stuffed them inside, filling it to the brim.
The chubby little hand made a hand seal, and he softly shouted at the wisp of yin energy, "Show!"
The talisman ignited without fire, and amidst the rising smoke, Li Jun's semi-transparent figure, his face filled with anxiety, gradually appeared before everyone.
"Master! You're finally back! Help!" As soon as Li Jun appeared, he knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling with sobs. "Tang Xin... Tang Xin refuses to reincarnate and insists on staying in the mortal world with her parents! No matter how I try to persuade her, she won't listen! Her talisman is about to expire, and if she doesn't go to the underworld soon, it will be too late! Please, please go and persuade her!"
After hearing this, Qiqi's little face hardened, and her soft and cute temperament instantly gained a bit of adult authority.
She slid off the sofa, walked up to Li Jun, and put her hands on her hips. "That Tang Xin sister is so disobedient! I've told her that if a ghost stays in the human world for too long, it will become a bad ghost! And it will harm her parents! Why won't she listen?"
She turned to her family, her little expression serious, "Mom, Grandma, Big Brother, Little Nine Brother, Qiqi is going out to take the disobedient Tang Xin to where she belongs!"
Madam Ji was a little worried. "Qi Bao, you've just gotten back, and it's almost dark. Why don't you rest for the night and go tomorrow?"
She hadn't seen her little girl for several days and wanted to hug and kiss her.
Moreover, Tang Xin is the same age as Li Jun and is already an adult.
Adults need to take responsibility for their choices.
Only when she truly experiences the consequences will she know whether her stubbornness was right or wrong.
It's only one night, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"It's okay, Mom. I'll go and take care of Sister Tang Xin's matter first, and then come back to rest."
Qiqi patted her little chest, shook the jade bracelet on her wrist, and pointed to the tiger eagle that was showing off its mung bean cakes. "Besides, I'm protected by Xiaobai and the big cat now, so I'm very safe! Moreover, now that I have the Xuanyuan Sword, it's time to go to the underworld."
Her junior brother is still suffering in the underworld, and she has to go and save him.
Huo Yuwei stood up. "If you want to use the Xuanyuan Sword, I'll go with you."
Qi Qi nodded. Xuan Yuan Sword only listens to Brother Huo now. Since they are going to the underworld to save Junior Brother, they do need to bring him along.
Huo Yusen immediately added, "I'll go too. You didn't let me go last time when we were looking for the sword, but this time I'm determined to go."
Qiqi looked at her older brother, then at her younger brother Xiao Jiu, and finally nodded her little head. "Okay! Let's set off now! Brother Li Jun, lead the way!"
Seeing the little dumpling's reliable "I'm going to work" look, Grandma Huo and Madam Ji were both amused and heartbroken, but they also knew that their daughter/granddaughter was no ordinary person, so they could only tell them to be careful.
Soon, Qiqi, holding her eldest brother's hand in one hand and her little brother Jiu's hand in the other, followed by Li Jun floating behind her and Hu Ying, who had transformed into a boy but was still licking the pastry crumbs off his fingers, set off in a grand procession.
The white jade bracelet on Qiqi's wrist radiated a warm glow, as if silently protecting her.
Following Li Jun's directions, the group quickly arrived at the old residential area near Tang Xin's home.
As soon as she got downstairs, Qiqi keenly sensed a yin energy that was even more concentrated than that emanating from Li Jun, and carried a hint of unstable fluctuation.
“Up there.” Qiqi tilted her little face up and looked at one of the windows.
Huo Yuwei frowned slightly and pulled Qiqi closer to him.
