g. How else do you want me to obey” I couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.I'm such a spineless person, I was subdued after being beaten with a few whips and then given a piece of candy.Jiang Qiyun r...The little boy said that although he looked like a child, he was also a small immortal who had attained enlightenment.

Although his lifespan wasn't very long, he was a follower of the supreme god Tai Yi and could always be reborn through feather transformation.

He definitely knows a lot more than I do.

I knew he was trying to dangle a carrot in front of me, so I purposely acted gloomy and out of sorts.

"...You said, these talismans of the Shen family, are they really effective" I asked anxiously.

The little boy blinked. “Huh How would I know… it should work, right I see all these protective talismans, and they all have golden light on them.”

What Golden light

I was just trying to change the subject, but he surprised me with what he said.

I quickly took out a Shen family amulet and looked at it carefully.

To be honest, I've never used it before, but this talisman is indeed standard issue for disciples who go out and about from the Shen family.

Over the past few years, even when encountering some dangers, most of them were attacks from vengeful spirits, also known as "magic users" in common parlance. There have been relatively few instances of "physical" attacks.

So even though the Shen family disciples were injured, they could still persevere to go to the hospital and seek treatment from a Taoist doctor.

I've hardly ever used this kind of amulet.

But judging from Shen Qingrui's wound today, this talisman actually solidified the blood that emerged around the wound into scabs. It was almost like a first-aid kit with a hemostatic effect.

This is really something I never expected.

The little boy blurted out, "There's a golden glow on top, that means it's blessed."

"How could I not see the golden light..." I looked again and again, it was indeed a complete spell, I didn't know where it came from or who painted it.

The steward of the Shen family couldn't say how it came to be, he only knew that it had been a standard feature for many years.

"You certainly can't see it!" the child pouted, "You haven't entered the mountain gate yet! Only after entering the mountain gate do you truly become a real fairy."

“In that case, only a True Immortal from the Upper Realm could paint such a talisman” I asked back.

"Well... it's hard to say. Some accomplished immortals, even human immortals, can paint too. Their works are passed down in the mortal world." The little boy shrugged.

He saw that I didn't press him about the "little secret," so he couldn't help but ask, "Hey, are you only concerned about these people's injuries"

"Of course, is there anything more worrying than this right now" I nodded.

"Hey, they've all eaten fairy pills! Even the burnt bits and pieces are lucky to be able to eat them! Cheap these mortals! If I were in charge, we could even give them a bit of soot from the bottom of the furnace and cure their ailments." He said with an indignant air.

In the future, if I'm fortunate enough to enter the Qinhua Changle Realm, the first thing I'll do is fetch water from the lotus pond and scrape the ash from the bottom of the Dan furnace.

"That's good... By the way, what little secret did you just mention" I thought it was about time, and I didn't want to push him too hard or he'd clam up.

The little boy, upon hearing my question, lit up with eager eyes, his expression full of curiosity and gossip. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Have you ever seen the maidservants of the Yinjing Heavenly Palace"

I nodded. I'd seen plenty of paper-made maids, animated to life like that.

"I don't quite remember how long ago it was...Anyway, one day, the Emperor from Mount Luofeng came to Qinghua Changle Realm. Because he was the Lord of the Underworld and Taiyi, the Supreme God, liked him so much, he usually walked with him..."

"I just happened to see that he didn't go up Mount Xian or into the main hall, but went to the Lotus Pond..."

The little boy's vivid description painted a picture in my mind.

Thousands of mountains bask in the warm sun, surrounded by auspicious clouds.

The spirit fish in the lotus pond emerged from beneath the lotus, carrying a lotus root to go to Fangqian Forest and ask the Supreme God for something.

With bamboo leaves as blades, shaped into a human form...

At that time, I remember a deity asking, “Why don't you take lotus seeds” The child tilted his head and said, "The Heavenly Emperor shook his head and said he preferred no heart."

Heartless

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Suddenly, I remembered what Shen Qingrui had just said: she didn't have a heart.

What does this mean

"Later when I went to the underworld again, I found that Yin Jing Tian Gong had an additional painted maid. Her form was different from the paper maids around her, but -"

Before the child could finish his words, a chill descended from the sky. Snow fluttered in the breeze.

Jiang Qiyun emerged from the cloud, revealing a magical doorway beside me. Gui He and You Nan, both giggling, bounced out, one clinging to my leg while Jiang Qiyun, holding Lan Xi in one hand, gracefully strolled out.

"...Is it that your cultivation is not deep enough You still have time to gossip behind others' backs... why not tell Taichi God and ask him to come down to the mortal realm for some training" Jiang Qiyun glanced at the little boy.

The little boy covered his mouth with both hands: "I was just lamenting with the little princess!"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to run away on his gourd. I grabbed the stalk of his gourd, almost causing him to stumble and fall!

"Don't run away, but—what's behind you" You can't just leave a sentence unfinished!

The little boy waved his hands frantically and said, "Ask the Emperor himself about what's behind! I don't want to go down to the mortal realm for training! Farewell, farewell!"

He was busy running, and I wouldn't let go. Jiang Qiyun said faintly, "What are you running for Human life is a chance to accumulate merit. Even beings like Mo Luo have stayed behind."

"Eh I thought you were going to chase me away!" The little boy smiled upon hearing this.

Jiang Qiyun also laughed, but the smile held a hint of mischief.

He pointed at the three children: “Stay in the lower realm and help me raise them. Wouldn't that be more delightful”

“......”

"...."

The little boy, resigned to his fate, rode back with Yu Gui and You Nan on horseback (gourd horse). He held You Nan in his arms and went to tell Jie Du Xingjun about the troubles of raising a child.

I stood in the courtyard with Jiang Qiyun. He raised his hand to brush the small snowflakes from my hair and said softly, "If we're going to chat, why stand out here in the courtyard"

Shen Qingrui and Master Zong, along with two disciples of the Shen family, were seriously injured.

"Hmm."

"I'm going to die."

"You summoned the young ones, didn't you" Jiang Qiyun laughed. "Your own cultivation is not enough to gather, so how can you use it to save others."

"I was going to wait for you to come back and show you how to save Shen Qingrui, but her situation..."

"You saved me, didn't you" Jiang Qiyun said nonchalantly.

Um... I don't seem to have a good way to start a conversation with him. How can I ask him about his past in a tactful yet straightforward manner

Actually, I didn't really care anymore, but the little boy's "but—" piqued my curiosity.

"What are you thinking about again" Jiang Qiyun suddenly appeared beside me, leaning into my face with a smirk that didn't quite reach his eyes.

He'll find out anyway...

"I want to know, from that child's mouth, about your past." I gestured towards Shen Qingrui's room.

Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow, as if to say how could I still be dwelling on this.

I quickly said, "Let me explain! I'm really, really, truly not jealous! I just want to know about your past."

I've long since let go.

Some things, truly don't need to be entangled or obsessed with.

When young, one does not understand. When old, there is no need to understand.

This sentence is not me pretending to be nonchalant. After entering this circle, I realized that the seven emotions and six desires are truly something you can let go of.

Besides, just now I saw the door open, and the mighty Emperor seemed like a shepherd herding sheep, pushing out two little ancestors with one in his arms.

How could I even begin to feel jealous looking at this It's just too much!

Jiang Qiyun smiled and reached out from under his sleeve to take my hand, pulling me outside. "Old things of the past, you want to hear about them, I'll naturally tell you. I'm just afraid you'll keep it to yourself and get angry with me again."

Here's the translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ut he didn't say anything, just hung there like that.Like a straight hook, those who wish may take the bait.I endured for a long time, but only a chilling breath came from behind, as if he had already...
