This memory lasted all night.
The next day, sunlight streamed into the room, and Nian Wanzhou finally awoke.
She sat up abruptly, only to realize that she didn't have to go to school. She breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down, intending to take a nap.
"Aren't you getting up?" Lexi sat in the chair, her hands behind her head, looking lazy. "It's almost noon, are you still going to sleep? Get up and have some food, don't go hungry."
What?
Have a meal?
Nian Wanzhou squinted her sleepy, listless, and puzzled eyes at the stranger by the bedside, scratched her head, and asked, "Who are you? Aren't you Nan Yu? Why are you being so nice to me?"
I'm not fully awake and can't see clearly.
Le Xi almost lost his composure. Whenever he resolved to be a good senior brother, Nian Wanzhou always managed to shatter his resolve. She truly was his good junior sister!
He gritted his teeth and said, "I am your second senior brother!"
"Second Senior Brother, Master has been captured by a monster again? This has nothing to do with me... Ah, how could you be Second Senior Brother? That scoundrel of his is never this gentle~" Nian Wanzhou chuckled, almost forgetting where she was.
Of all things, sleeping and eating are the most important. Let's get enough sleep first!
Who cares about the second senior brother or the eldest senior brother? If Master is arrested, that's the eldest senior brother's problem, what does it have to do with Little White Dragon!
"You really are... I shouldn't have been so kind!" Lexi wanted to reach out and pinch her cheeks to see what was going on in this idiot's head. She was furious.
Le Xi took a deep breath and then another, just thinking that her junior sister's rambling was a side effect of the damaged elixir, and that she almost went crazy.
Forgive her!
Then I planned to get her some food.
Nan Yu and the others often do this, so this time, let him, the good senior brother, handle it! (Because his senior sister is arriving soon, and he wants to make a good impression.)
(Nian Wanzhou's words all night were in vain, no, there was some gain, at least she's a bit more normal now, I guess.)
Sure enough, when he returned with the pastries that Nan Yu and Zhao Zhishan had given him, as well as the spiritual fruits he had prepared, Wei Wenru had already arrived.
Right now, she's holding Nian Wanzhou and gently comforting her.
Seeing this, Lexi was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, but she had to suppress it.
She hadn't even glanced at it a few times when Song Yan took the pastries from her and pushed her out of the room. Before leaving, Wei Wenru nodded to him as a thank you, accompanied by a normal smile.
Le Xi: ...I should be in the training ground, I shouldn't be here, right!
If it weren't for wanting to leave a good impression on his senior sister, he would have... at least picked up the little dragon cub and taught him a lesson, so she would know that he, her senior brother, wasn't bad either.
etc!
Why did Senior Brother push him out? How could he... do this? Forget it, I should just go cultivate and try to catch up with Senior Sister as soon as possible.
Author's note: This silly child hasn't even realized what the problem is yet!
Although Nian Wanzhou suffered a lot, she recovered to normal through her own strength, and everything was fine the moment she saw Wei Wenru.
Of course, the possibility of sleeping in too long cannot be ruled out.
"Little lazybones, aren't you getting up?" Wei Wenru rescued the little girl curled up in the blanket, gently stroked her face, and casually brushed her hair aside.
Nian Wanzhou's blurry vision caught sight of her mother's face, and she immediately hugged Wei Wenru with her short arms, saying in a sweet and innocent voice, "I'm so tired, I can't get up. Can I skip school today?"
She continued to act spoiled towards her mother, as if time had stopped back in high school.
"What?" Wei Wenru didn't hear the little guy's mumbling, especially the first two words, but she still heard that the little guy didn't want to get up.
When Song Yan came in with the food, she saw this heartwarming scene, a picture of a family coming together.
"If she doesn't want to get up, let her continue sleeping. It's pitiful, she's so tired." Song Yan reached out and gently stroked Wei Wenru's hair, comforting her. "Let our junior sister rest for a while."
"Just spoil her." Wei Wenru didn't reply verbally, but she gently patted Nian Wanzhou's back to coax her.
So much has happened in this period of time, more than she has seen in the past three hundred years...
Wei Wenru felt a pang of heartache as she looked at the slightly tired face of the child in her arms, wondering how her junior sister would face the even more difficult road ahead.
And for some reason, this feeling of heartache felt strangely familiar.
They exchanged glances with Song Yan and both noticed this change in each other's eyes; perhaps it truly was a predestined connection from a past life...
......
The sect leader, along with Yuheng, spent the night examining the records left behind by previous sect leaders. Combining these records with the results Yuheng brought back, they tried to find out if there was anything amiss with the situation of the little dragon cub.
For thousands of years, even ten thousand years ago, nothing like this had ever happened.
“Sect Master, it’s true that some members of the Dragon Clan used to absorb moonlight at night, but that doesn’t seem to make any difference.” Since the Sect Master and the others all believed it was related, Yuheng felt it necessary to explain.
"Why is this happening tonight? You've been in the Flood Dragon Clan for so long and nothing like this has ever happened before. How come this has happened so soon after you returned?"
The sect leader pulled out several ancient books, looked them over again and again, and pointed to one of them excitedly, saying, "Look, isn't this recorded?"
"But that's just a legend of the Flood Dragon Clan! We are dragons, Azure Dragons, not Flood Dragons!"
"It is marked below that the dragon race is also like this, easily attracting the Heavenly Dao to sacrifice them."
"But Wanwan is the Purple Star, how could she be sacrificed? I don't think so. The problem lies with Yue Lie. How was he able to obtain the Black Mist so easily? Where did it come from? Isn't that more important?"
"The person is gone, and the black mist was forcibly absorbed by the little dragon cub. Where do we even begin to search? In any case, we must prevent her from absorbing anything in the future, and minimize her cultivation."
"Chen Zhoubai, I've already told you, these things are unrelated. If you don't let her cultivate, how will she protect herself if she encounters these things again in the future?"
"Calling your elder brother by his name like that, you think you've got guts? It's not like I'm stopping her from cultivating from now on. It's just that the celestial signs haven't been good lately, and if she were to advance in cultivation at will, it wouldn't be a good thing." The sect leader flicked his sleeves and stood up, his cold, unsmiling face becoming even more serious. He almost wanted to give Yuheng a good whack.
"Ouch, no, I know I was wrong." Yuheng took a few steps back, afraid of being beaten.
He then patted his chest reassuringly, thinking to himself, "I knew it! That old geezer, the sect leader, wouldn't be so clueless."
As long as you can still cultivate every night, it's not a problem. In the world of cultivation, if you can't even protect yourself, how can you face the dangers ahead?
After much discussion, the sect leader decided to investigate the source of the black mist on Yue Lie's body first, just in case the black mist he had absorbed might leave any aftereffects on Nian Wanzhou.
Furthermore, we also need to find a successor for Nian Wanzhou; if we can't find her, it will be even more difficult for her to cultivate.
Besides these, there are many other things to attend to, and the sect leader's secret order will take up a lot of time. But, this is the only way; there is no other option.
