“Mother, don’t sigh! You still have Tangguo and Mifan; we will always be with you!”
“Yes, yes, Mother!”
The little Flame Phoenix also jumped out, saying, “And I’m here too! I will always follow you!”
This little guy still spoke in a sweet tone. When Tangguo and Mifan first started talking, they nearly got distracted by it!
“Did you wake up just after arriving in the human world?” Feng Siyue asked in surprise.
“Yeah, but I still feel really tired. I need to sleep some more; don’t call me unless it’s a life-or-death situation!” The little Flame Phoenix’s voice was lazy, as if it could fall asleep at any moment!
Feng Siyue nodded. “Yes, you’ve worked hard these years. Rest well!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the little Flame Phoenix transformed into a hairpin and nestled itself into Feng Siyue’s hair!
“Tangguo, my dear, your mother doesn’t want to move anymore. Come and carry your old mother!”
Ever since she gave birth to them four years ago, she had become quite lazy. If she could sit, she wouldn’t stand; if she could lie down, she wouldn’t sit!
Moreover, after her eyes were gouged out by Feng Wanqing, her fourth master had crafted a pair of ghostly eyes for her using Ghost Grass. They looked almost normal but were extremely sensitive to sunlight, so walking under the sun felt like being stabbed!
Fortunately, during her time in the Ghost Realm, her fourth master used the Yellow Spring Mysterious Light to create a white veil for her to wear over her eyes, which prevented her from going berserk!
So why would she willingly make herself suffer by walking? Besides, what else were her precious children for if not to be exploited?
“Mother, if brother carries you, it will scare others! Even if it doesn’t scare people, it might frighten the wild beasts passing by, and that wouldn’t be good!” Little Mifan said seriously, tilting her head.
“Exactly, Mother! If you’re not thinking of us, you should at least think of the flowers, the plants, and the little animals!” Little Tangguo said with a helpless expression.
“Got it!” Little Mifan took out scissors and white paper from her backpack and casually cut a few shapes. “Let them carry Mother instead!”
Little Mifan tossed the cut paper aside, and as it landed, she blew on it. Instantly, it transformed into something indistinguishable from a real person, and the palanquin appeared low-key yet luxurious and sturdy.
Feng Siyue sat inside, feeling comfortable and cool. She nodded in satisfaction!
The skills of her fifth master’s Guidao Secret Sect had been learned so vividly by Little Mifan!
Little Mifan, looking proud, asked, “Mother, am I amazing?”
Feng Siyue nodded. “Yes, my little treasure is the most amazing!”
Now that they had a palanquin, they also needed something to eat: “Tangguo, I’m starving! Can’t you get something to eat?”
“Coming right up!” Tangguo said, looking at her mother like a little adult. “What do you want to eat, Mother?”
“Roast suckling pig!” Before Feng Siyue could speak, Little Mifan chimed in.
“Alright!”
Little Tangguo busied himself nearby while Feng Siyue looked around, feeling like they were missing someone.
With a slight smile, she pulled out a small paper figure from her sleeve.
The little paper figure landed on the palanquin and transformed into a delicate-looking maid. The maid skillfully took out the tea set from Little Tangguo’s bundle and began to brew tea for Feng Siyue!
“Wow! It’s Sister Lingqiao! Mother, didn’t you say you weren’t bringing Sister Lingqiao to the human world? So you were lying to us!”
“It’s because she couldn’t bear to be without you, so she insisted on coming herself!” Feng Siyue replied without looking up.
Lingqiao was the first paper figure she had crafted five years ago when she first started learning Guidao. Over the past five years, Lingqiao had gradually gained consciousness and could even cultivate. If she had stayed in the Ghost Realm, she would have achieved great things in the future. Unfortunately, she didn’t want to remain there!
However, coming to the human world might not be a bad thing after all!
Feng Siyue yawned.
“Tangguo, my dear, your old mother is going to take a nap. Wake me up when you’re done! Mifan, take Sister Lingqiao outside to look around.”
“Okay!”
The two little ones replied in unison.
It was their first time in the human world, so everything was new and exciting to them.
Feeling the presence of humans, they led the paper figure toward a populated area!
From a distance, they saw several young men and women handling the corpse of a beast.
“Sister Lingqiao, these people are so frugal; they even saved the facial hair of the monster!” Little Mifan exclaimed in shock, knowing that such things were utterly insignificant in the Ghost Realm!
“What do you mean frugal? That’s the whiskers of a fifth-tier Tiger Spirit Beast; it’s a material for refining weapons. What do you little brat know?” One of the people in front looked up, and a young girl said angrily. They had worked hard to collect these items, only to be mocked by a little kid!
Suddenly, one of them reacted, looking warily at the person in the palanquin. “Wait, Sister Feng, this is the most dangerous Beast Mountain. How could there be such a luxurious palanquin here? Something’s not right!”
As soon as the man spoke, the others immediately became on guard!
Not far away, there was a little girl who was fair-skinned and delicate, looking quite normal.
But behind her was an eight-man palanquin, surrounded by white gauze, faintly revealing a woman lying on a soft bed, her posture graceful and enticing, provoking endless imagination. Beside her, there was even a child cooking.
A child this small cooking? The group stared wide-eyed in shock, quickly realizing it was child abuse!
Wait, that wasn’t the most surprising part. What was astonishing was that the eight bearers of the palanquin looked exactly the same, with no expression on their faces and pale complexions that made them appear anything but human!
This was deep in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, a place full of ferocious beasts that could swallow someone whole at any moment. Yet here were people sitting in a palanquin, which was highly unusual, especially with those eight bizarre-looking individuals!
“Little Mifan, ask them for directions and see where we are!”
At that moment, a lazy voice came from inside the palanquin.
Feng Youran’s eyes widened instantly. This voice—how could it sound somewhat like her foolish cousin Feng Siyue?
No, it was impossible! Feng Siyue had died long ago in the destroyed Soul Severing Valley, so she couldn’t possibly be alive!
So it must just be a coincidence!
“Hello, may I ask where this place is?” Little Mifan stepped forward, her big eyes sparkling like grapes as she suppressed her excitement and politely asked in a soft, sweet voice.
This was her first time seeing living people other than her mother and brother, so her tone was gentle and courteous, as she didn’t want to scare them away!
However, the people across from her did not answer. Their gazes were entirely focused on Little Mifan, and their expressions gradually became greedy!
Feng Youran lowered her voice and said, “Senior Brother, this little brat’s outer garment is made of the Sharkman Silk that is about to become extinct in the Abyss Continent!”
