Qiqi's heart clenched: "Isn't there any way to prevent Lele from suffering these misfortunes? Like stripping her of her abilities? As long as, as long as she can live an ordinary and happy life, that's enough."
"This ability is not transferable, and neither you nor I can separate it from Lele. So there is only one way."
What is it?
Jiu Fang said seriously, "We need someone to share the burden that Lele is bearing."
Qiqi suddenly understood: "That's why you had that dragon protect Lele."
"The Blood Jade Dragon is a spiritual creature. Its spiritual energy can protect Lele. Even after twenty years, it will not be affected by Lele's karma. It's a win-win situation."
But even with him, and you and me combined, it's far from enough. We need many more people blessed with great fortune and opportunity, especially those favored by the heavens.
Qi Qi and Jiu Fang Gui exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Samadhi!"
“He definitely won’t refuse. You and I are both heartless people, but…” Jiu Fanggui gave a bitter smile, “I’m just afraid that when Lele finds out in the future, she will be extremely painful and remorseful.”
Qi Qi frowned slightly: "Tell Sanmei the truth, and let him make the choice. As for Lele, at least wait until she grows up before telling her."
"And," Qiqi sighed, "isn't just Samadhi enough?"
Jiu Fanggui rubbed his temples: "I'll go and beg Gui Dao and Xiao Xuan. It would be the best thing if they could stay by Lele's side."
"What a selfish request," Qiqi chuckled self-deprecatingly.
“…I’m sorry.” Jiu Fanggui looked at his wife with remorse. “It’s my fault. It’s because of me that Lele can’t grow up as ordinary and happy as other children.”
“This is not your fault,” Qiqi said calmly. “No one did anything wrong; it’s just the way things are.”
"Besides, having such an ability isn't necessarily a bad thing. Every cloud has a silver lining. This powerful ability is also what Guabao relies on to survive in this chaotic world. We will all be gone from her side one day, and she will ultimately have to rely on herself."
"I hope our baby can live a peaceful and stable life, just like her name suggests." Jiu Fanggui hugged Qiqi, the couple leaning on each other, sharing a sincere wish for their baby.
Xiao Changle woke up after sleeping for half a day. Despite her sore body, she stubbornly climbed onto Chen Sanmei's bed to stay by his side.
Chen Sanmei slept for three days straight. For three days in a row, the usually noisy Xiao Changle obediently stayed by his side. Except for eating and washing up, she stayed next to him while sleeping. Her stubbornness left Xiao Hong, who was accompanying her, speechless.
Luo Xuan was worried that her health would affect Qi Qi.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Qiqi knows that her darling may seem well-behaved and sensible, but once she gets serious, she'll never back down even after hitting a brick wall.
“She was frightened.” Qiqi stood at the door, looking at Xiao Changle who was doing math problems by Shen Sanmei’s window, and shook her head at Luo Xuan. “It’s okay, as long as she’s not sick. I feel more at ease letting her watch over her.”
Xiao Hong stayed with Xiao Chang Le, watching her cry for three days, but was ignored by her for three days as well.
Xiao Hong couldn't help but sit on her notebook to stop her from writing, but Xiao Chang Le picked her up and put her on the ground expressionlessly: "Don't bother your brother."
Xiao Hong was unwilling to give up. Wasn't anyone curious about who he was or how he came to be? He climbed back onto the bed with a thud.
Just as I climbed up, I suddenly heard a soft groan. I turned my head and saw that Chen Sanmei, who had been asleep for three days, had woken up!
Just as Xiao Hong saw clearly, an arm rammed into him, sending him flying and tumbling to the ground. When he got up, he saw the little girl, who had been expressionless just moments before, sobbing uncontrollably as she threw herself on Shen Sanmei.
The world was in chaos, with boundless darkness, and the ground beneath one's feet was mired in deep mud.
Shen Sanmei struggled for a long, long time, shouting, roaring, praying, and pleading, but no one responded, and no god heard his prayers.
Life force was gradually drained from his body, like a tree that withered and rotted in the desolation and darkness until it was weathered into sand.
There will always be roses that are favored, and there will always be roses that rot in the soil.
Shen Sanmei knew that he was never the lucky one.
But how could light fall on him so precisely?
That tiny, fragile wisp of light, even more delicate than he was, fell upon him with special favor.
Like a thirsty traveler in the desert, like a weary traveler, he instinctively reached out and grasped at the straw that offered him salvation.
The dissipated vitality surged back, the faint light tore through the darkness, and the barren earth sprouted tender green shoots.
Chen Sanmei returned to the real world, and before him were familiar, radiant faces.
“Le Bao…” His voice was hoarse, but that did not diminish the tenderness within it.
The little one nestled into his arms, the familiar softness and warmth making the desolation a thing of the past.
A glimmer of light unexpectedly graced a desolate corner.
He met a bright and radiant little god.
This is his salvation, the little god he raised with his own hands who favors him.
Having survived the ordeal, Shen Sanmei embraced Xiao Changle, and for the first time in many years since her mother passed away, she shed tears.
Ten days ago—
“Sanmei, I don’t recommend helping you fully awaken your bloodline now. You can’t withstand the Dragon Transformation Tribulation after full awakening,” Jiufang Gui said in a deep voice.
"No, I can't wait."
Jiu Fanggui asked him, "Why are you in such a hurry? You have plenty of time."
He replied:
"I'm afraid I can't protect her."
He knew all too well what it felt like to be powerless, so he was afraid he wouldn't be able to protect Xiao Chang Le.
He wanted to preserve her radiant beauty, so he had to force himself to become stronger.
Jiu Fanggui agreed to his request.
And now, he's won his gamble. Having successfully awakened, he finally has the qualifications and ability to protect the little god.
After this incident, Xiao Changle became much more well-behaved. He ran around the mountain less and clung to Sanmei and the rest of the family more.
