As a result, Ah Jun and his companion eventually returned to the sight of their companions—— At this point, Ah Jun felt a sudden blur before his eyes, and then the movement stopped. Immediately after, he unconsciously felt his legs give way, and he crouched down and sat down.
——Hmm, where am I? Who am I... Oh, this place seems to be on the ground, quite soft. Were back here? Wheres everyone? Not there... Hmm? What about the dimples? Phew, huh? Thats...
Just now, the great crisis had scared Ah Jun, who was usually not one to handle pressure, into a panic, and his mind was in turmoil—— At this moment, he was adjusting his perception multiple times as his gaze moved, and his thoughts gradually became clearer, except that confusion had not yet faded. It wasnt until he saw the golden-hued unicorn again that he began to awaken——
"My brother, why are you still holding the cat there? Come down..."
After a while, a familiar voice came into Ah Juns ears—— Then he clutched his little dimple and began to look around quickly.
—— Ah... found it!
Just below them, a chubby boy with small eyes and a playful smile was shouting, his words tinged with humor. He radiated an inexplicable warmth and delight. Who could it be? Nearby stood a melancholic fairy and a cold-hearted teenager... Doesnt that sound familiar?
—— Hmm... yeah, its them... were safe!
"Are you okay, little dimple?"
" mew!"
Finally, Ah Jun was fully awake. He looked at the cat excitedly and said with concern—— They just looked at each other and felt grateful in their hearts, but why dont we be on the same level as them?
"Brother... what are you two doing —— Look down there?"
Xiao Xis sudden shout startled them both. The kitten instantly broke free from his arms and darted into the hat. Ah Jun took the opportunity to observe the solemn expressions of his companions downstairs. He then touched his hand, lowered his head, and glared...
—— That, I said I didnt mean it, you believe in... Lord Shengxi!
"Sorry... I was confused and didnt notice —— we were coming down!"
At this point, Ah Jun finally realized that he was sitting on the back of a divine beast, which is why Xiao Xi called him and everyone looked strange. So, as soon as he finished speaking, he began to prepare to retreat in a hurry and panic.
But Shengxi didnt seem to let Ah Jun escape. She folded her previously spread wings and then lifted them up, sandwiching Ah Jun between them—— You two naughty kids, youd better stay quiet.
——What does this mean? I cant make a decision... It feels like being locked up in solitary confinement. Is it because weve made a mistake and Lord Shengxi is going to punish us...
"—— Im afraid you two will run away again!"
Just as Ah Jun was in a difficult situation, suddenly, a familiar voice came into his ears, sounding very cold, apparently, it was Yuwen Lus answer—— So what should I do next?
At this point, Ah Jun was once again caught in a dilemma. He couldnt sit still, but he couldnt run away either—— However, as the saying goes, "A wise man knows when to act." Just as this self-aware and confused child was feeling guilty and lost, Sheng Xi suddenly retracted his wings and led the team forward without hesitation.
——Who is he after all? Since ancient times, there has never been a second goddess except the one in Xuanwu County who can be protected by Lord Shengxi...
And the two children, who were flattered and startled, had to sit obediently on the back of the divine beast. From time to time, Xiao Xi squinted her eyes and smiled at her companions—— Ninger regained her rationality and calmness, while Yuwen Lu looked serious despite his puzzled expression.
As for what everyone was thinking, Ah Jun did not know—— now he had no time to care, after all, the shock of the just past had left Ah Jun with lingering fear.
Although it seemed to have resisted, the afterglow still left the poor child physically and mentally exhausted. In a blink of an eye, Ah Jun was lying asleep.
"Those little dimples, arent they gorgeous... But lets not take such risks next time... Thankfully youre okay..."
"Ah... Ning er, look! Theres a light ahead! Ah Jun..."
After a while, Ah Jun in the dream was awakened by a shout from Xiao Xi—— Then, he looked forward with sleepy eyes and saw a light point growing larger and brighter. What was it?
Then, Ah Jun rubbed his eyes and looked again. Yes, yes... So he quickly patted his hat —— Then, the kitten, still sleepy from sleep, stuck his little head out and waited with the boy for the moment of passing.
With the dazzling sunlight rushing in, the group soon passed through another door of the shortcut and arrived outside—— At this moment, the children seemed a bit unaccustomed. They all held up their hands, squinted their eyes, and couldnt look directly at the light. But judging by their mood, they must have been feeling quite refreshed.
There are bright wild flowers, green grass, blue sky, clear stream, dense woods, and the tall mountain behind them. And that door, located at the foot of the rock wall, is emitting a dark purple.
Well, now that were here, we have to keep going—— But at this point, Ah Jun and the cat are still lingering in the old place. Although Sheng Xi doesnt seem to have any objections, its clear that the two babies are a little rude.
Of course, soon, they were aware of this, and then, the little dimple put a pink paw on Ah Juns head, and then nodded to remind him...
Then, Ah Jun, who had been aware of it, seemed to understand something—— He nodded and then, with his hands leaning on the force of one leg, he landed next to everyone with great care and agility.
"Sorry, Lord Shengxi, I was a bother to you just now. Thank you!"
In the first moment after landing, Ah Jun took the kitten to apologize to Sheng Xi, with a sincere attitude and proper manners—— The adult, as if receiving this sincere apology, gave them a gentle look, then lowered his head and pressed his face against the two babies.
At this moment, A Jun felt a strange sense of kinship and warmth, and he suddenly felt energetic—— He had clearly made a mistake, but Lord Shengxi did not blame him at all, but responded with comfort. Truly, the Lord has great tolerance!
"Bro, are you okay?"
"Ajun, youre ok, and... the dimples?"
And in the meantime, Xiao Xi, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over and began to greet her. There was also Ning er. She looked at Ah Jun with a little nervousness and asked with concern. Then, she turned her attention to the cats feelings and then hugged her.
As for Yuwen Lu, he had come to the side, but he was still looking at his book calmly without any expression.
"Hey, I mean, why dont you care about your fellow..."
Of course, Xiao Xi had always been disgusted with this person, and now she had to ask —— how could this person be so cold and have no human feelings at all? I think except Xiao Shuai, who would want to make friends with him.
"He made a mistake. Do you care about him?"
Yuwen Lu was no pushover either. He kept reading his book while calmly countering, his face expressionless——Fortunately, Xiao Xi, who had grown accustomed to him, only offered a few symbolic complaints under Ah Juns restraint. Then, he immediately turned his attention back to Ah Jun and the kitten, reminding them.
"Its not that I said it was so dangerous just now, but you did it for the cat!"
Xiaoxis words were not without reason. After all, he had learned something about the importance of Ah Jun from his master. Therefore, even if it was dangerous before, he would not let Ah Jun face it alone.
So, in this case, Xiao Xi must be worried—— Even if Ah Jun isnt that important, hes still her second brother. If he were to get hurt or something, even if it had nothing to do with him, the threat from his mother would be enough to make this child tremble with fear. Of course, theres also the bond of friendship.
"Well... I know, but the little dimple is not only my friend, its my aunts instruction... I must deliver her safely into my uncles hands. How can I sit idly by!"
"Oh, so its because of the mission, thats fine, otherwise youd be in trouble ——I was still wondering, looking at your unusual relationship... hehe, I mean, what if she could also appear in human form, what would you do ——Dont forget, you already have six six!"
"Ah? Xiao Xi, what are you thinking... Auntie said that Xiao Jiuwo is just an ordinary cat—— And, Liu Liu is my family, not as you think!"
"Huh? Brother, do you really believe what the aunt said?"
" mew?"
"Wait a minute... thats going to be a hassle!"
Indeed, Xiao Xis well-intentioned joke still had some truth to it, but Ah Jun remained unconvinced—— because he was just a simple child, even a rather naive one. He didnt even give much thought to Lan ers ideas, Liu Lius actions, or Xiao Tianmeis situation, as if he were emotionally insulated from these matters.
Of course, Ah Juns dullness is also related to his own lack of talent, so he may not even care to experience it.
Yet Ning er seemed to fully endorse Ah Juns responses. The awkwardness that had lingered moments before suddenly dissolved—— As for Yuwen Lu, he probably hadnt been listening at all. His sole mission was to help Ah Jun complete his training—other matters were completely irrelevant. He kept reading with self-absorption, then coldly urged his companion: "Times running out!"
—— Oh, right, Lord Shengxi... what?
Of course, Ah Jun also realized the urgency of time, after all, he still needed to take the kitten to a square called Happiness Square in a short while. Although he could use the holographic navigation of the wristband to reach it quickly, it would take some time.
Then, next, Ah Jun lifted his arm without confidence and shook it expectantly...
"Hello, Ah Jun, now start the navigation..."
—— Oh, the wristband actually responded, so Im sure I wont get lost.
So, the child turned around, ready to say goodbye to Lord Shengxi in person, which was a kind of politeness, after all, he had helped you—— but now all he saw was the mountain, the air... even the door was gone.
