Chapter 1855: My Little Sister Is Calling Me!
Seeing that he expected no return, the Great Elder felt somewhat embarrassed and coughed lightly, "If you don’t mind, we would like to invite you to visit the Lion Tribe."
Right on target.
This was the very phrase Qing Luan had been waiting for.
Only on the surface did he maintain a composed and indifferent demeanor.
With persistent invitations from the Great Elder and Ninth Elder, he reluctantly agreed.
With Qiong Qi dead, not a single beast dared to stay there; they had long since scattered and fled.
The Great Elder and Ninth Elder led the way, Qing Luan followed with an aloof expression, and Little Beast Bai Bai trailed behind, observing this "benefactor" from the back.
Little Beast Bai Bai twitched its nose, feeling that the other’s aura seemed somewhat familiar.
Somewhat similar to...
The bedding and quilts on the bed?
Little Beast Bai Bai pawed the dirt with its little paws. Almost at the Lion Tribe, yet Little Beast Bai Bai said, "I need to return to the War God’s side."
Having called out to the War God several times earlier without response, it must have been due to battle.
Qiong Qi, being one of the Demon God’s four mounts, appearing here was very strange. If a battle had begun, why wasn’t he by the Demon God’s side?
Everything felt too peculiar.
Little Beast Bai Bai spoke, and before the Great Elder and Ninth Elder could persuade otherwise, turned around and ran off.
Qing Luan: "..."
Having arranged the opportunity to play the hero and save the beauty, borrowed the master’s power to eliminate Qiong Qi, planned so much, yet didn’t even get a chance to speak alone!
Qing Luan halted in his tracks.
The Great Elder said in a troubled tone, "Sorry, our Zaizai had urgent business and left first, but it doesn’t hinder us from hosting you, please come with us."
The Ninth Elder chimed in, "Yes, benefactor, this way please."
Qing Luan with a stern look, this time not feigned, genuinely wore a long face and coldly gazed at the two, "No need, I also have urgent matters, farewell."
"Alas!"
"Benefactor!"
Both called out to him simultaneously, failing to stop him.
The Ninth Elder frowned, "Left just like that? Feels like only after Zaizai left did he leave, if Zaizai hadn’t left, would he have stayed?"
The Great Elder’s brow furrowed deeper, "You’re overthinking it."
The Ninth Elder scratched his head, "Am I overthinking it?"
Actually, the Great Elder had similar thoughts but chose not to say more.
With age comes wisdom, he even sensed that this person’s appearance wasn’t a mere coincidence.
Including Qiong Qi’s presence, the Great Elder felt there was more to the matter.
...
Beside the Turquoise Pool, the Heavenly Emperor wielded a golden brush to write on the water’s surface.
As the Emperor passed by, he twitched at the corner of his mouth, "You really have no shame, you could be her grandfather, yet you’re fine with her calling you brother!"
With the brush, the Heavenly Emperor flicked water up, creating splashes, "Mind your own business!"
Though the Emperor dodged the water aimed at his face, droplets still dampened the hem of his garment.
The Emperor shook his garment, instantly ridding it of the moisture, "Stop this supernatural nonsense, it’s boring."
The Heavenly Emperor snorted, "It’s better than you doing nothing at all!"
The Emperor shook his head, "Intervening too much is detrimental to you, to me, and to them; let everything follow its natural course."
The Heavenly Emperor gave him a sidelong glance and sneered, "Let it be? When you amended the Three Lives Stone, inserting your own name, I didn’t hear you saying to let it be?"
The Emperor coughed awkwardly, "Didn’t I fail to succeed? Henceforth, I’m all the more convinced that not everything can be changed as I wish, it must follow its natural course."
"Whether you stand by and watch is your business, don’t interfere with me, get out of here, my sister is calling me!"
Reflected in the Turquoise Pool was a chubby and adorable little girl. Her big face was almost pressed against the barrier, her soft baby voice timidly asked, "Shield brother, where did Little Beast Bai Bai go? Why can’t I see it?"
