“Strange, can the baby enter the space on his own?” Xiao Lingyu was full of doubt.

Xiao Ling was suspicious too. “Logically, only Master can enter this place. Or you have given permission to let others in.” As the spirit, Xiao Ling knew that no one other than his master could enter this space at will. This gave him a sense of danger.

It was lucky that it was Little Master who entered the space this time. What if it was a bad guy?

“Master!” Xiao Ling’s fair and tender face was filled with confusion and anxiety.

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and asked, “Ling ‘Er, could it be because the baby is my son? He’s connected to me by blood.”

Xiao Ling shook his head. “No.” If that was true, then Mother and Father Xiao should be able to enter the space freely too. But Xiao Ling was sure that was not the case.

Xiao Lingyu was confused. “Then, what is really going on?” Xiao Lingyu looked at Xiao Tong with a complicated expression and then said with worry, “I hope this doesn’t mean anything bad.”

Xiao Tong, who was trying his best to absorb spiritual Qi as fast as he could, heard his mother’s words. His body stiffened for a moment, and then his eyes dimmed.

He didn’t want to make his mother worry.

He thought for a moment, then released his spiritual sense to communicate with Xiao Ling’s consciousness.

As soon as Xiao Ling communed with the powerful spiritual sense, Xiao Ling immediately became alert.

He looked around, his expression becoming abnormally vigilant. His tender voice, however, was abnormally sharp. He shouted loudly, “Who is it?”

There was actually an unexpected guest in his space, and he actually didn’t know about it. It was an insult to his prestige as a space spirit.

Xiao Lingyu saw Xiao Ling’s abnormal behavior, and she became serious too. She asked, “Xiao Ling, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Tong wanted to roll his eyes, but he was still an infant and could not do such strange actions. If possible, he wanted to curse at Xiao Ling, the big idiot! Since he was able to enter the space on his own, naturally, it was he who was trying to communicate with him.

With the way Xiao Ling acted, it would be strange if Xiao Lingyu didn’t get suspicious.

Just as Xiao Ling was about to say something, Xiao Tong immediately shouted sternly, “You idiot! Other than your little master, who else could it be? Do you think anyone can enter my mother’s space!”

Xiao Ling, who was on full alert, was so shocked that he immediately staggered and fell to the ground.

He never expected that his little master would be such a progeny.

Xiao Lingyu noticed this and asked with concern, “Xiao Ling, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly fall?” Then, she thought of something, and she immediately asked anxiously, “Xiao Ling, did someone else enter the space and hurt you?”

With Xiao Lingyu’s help, Xiao Ling stood up from the ground. Just as he was about to answer, Xiao Tong’s words echoed in his ears with a strong warning. “Do not tell mom about this, or else…”

Xiao Ling shuddered. Then, he looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, “It’s nothing. I was just scaring myself.”

Xiao Lingyu looked at him suspiciously and said, “Really?”

Xiao Ling was a spirit. How did he scare himself?

Xiao Ling quickly nodded and said, “Yes, master! Master, it’s nothing. I heard wrongly. This is my space. Without your permission and without my permission, who can enter? Don’t you agree?”

Xiao Lingyu reluctantly agreed.

At this time, another sentence floated over from Xiao Tong’s mind, almost scaring Xiao Ling to death. Xiao Tong said, “Idiot, think of a way to keep me in the space. Don’t worry. You’re my mother’s space spirit. I won’t do anything to you.”

Xiao Ling’s expression froze for a moment. Then, he stared at the child in Xiao Lingyu’s arms with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, “Master, can you let little master stay in the space to play with me?”

Xiao Lingyu was stunned and couldn’t react for a moment.

Xiao Ling thought Xiao Lingyu wasn’t going to agree, so he was a little anxious and scratched his head. He said, “Master, it’s too lonely for me in the space. It was fine when I was hibernating in the past, but now that I’ve woken up, I find it very lonely here. Master, can you leave little master here for me to play with?”

Xiao Lingyu’s mouth twitched. ‘Is my six-month-old baby a toy?’ But considering Xiao Ling had been alone for ten thousand years, Xiao Lingyu did feel sorry for him.

She thought for a moment, then squatted down with the baby in her arms and said, “Xiao Ling, my baby is a human. He’s not your toy. I can’t let him stay here for you to play with him.”

Xiao Ling was anxious. He said, “Master, are you worried that I won’t be able to take good care of Little Master? Don’t worry. I know how to take care of Little Master. Please let Little Master stay with me. Even if it’s just for me to talk to him.”

“…” Xiao Lingyu explained patiently, “But my baby is still young. How do you expect him to talk to you?”

Xiao Ling, “…”

Xiao Tong, “…”

Xiao Ling was very anxious. He thought about telling her the truth, but his Little Master would probably kill him.

“Wo Wo (Bro Bro)!” Xiao Tong suddenly shouted and then reached out his hands towards Xiao Ling as if asking for a hug.

Xiao Lingyu was stunned.

The baby actually called Xiao Ling Big Brother.

Xiao Ling was shocked. Then, he quickly picked up Xiao Tong from Xiao Lingyu’s hands. Xiao Tong was only six months old. He was chubby and weighed 20 kilograms. Xiao Ling looked like he was only three or four years old.

If Xiao Ling were a real person, Xiao Ling would definitely not be able to carry Xiao Tong.

But Xiao Ling was not a human.

He was a spirit. Even if Xiao Tong weighed 10,000 kilograms, in Xiao Ling’s hands, he would weigh as light as a feather.

Naturally, a child weighing around 20 kilograms in his hands was not heavy at all.

Seeing that Xiao Ling was holding the child steadily, Xiao Lingyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she said, “You scared me to death. I thought that you wouldn’t be able to hold the child properly.”

Xiao Ling smiled and said, “Master, the Little Master only weighs so little. Even if it’s something over millions of kilograms, in here, it’ll weigh about as much as an egg.”

Xiao Lingyu’s mouth opened wide in surprise.

She had no idea that Xiao Ling’s strength was so great.

“Baby, right?” Xiao Ling teased Xiao Tong. Xiao Tong giggled again. “Master, see. The little master likes me very much. Let the little master stay and accompany me,” Xiao Ling took the opportunity to say.

But internally, he was complaining. After he found out his little master was a cultivator, he didn’t want him to stay at all. He was scared that his little master would vanquish him. However, under the threat of the little master, Xiao Ling had no choice but to comply.

Regardless, Xiao Ling was also puzzled. Why was the little master an immortal cultivator? Was he possessed by a certain God in the world of cultivators, or did he come here without losing his memory?

No matter the reason, Xiao Ling had to be sure that the child wouldn’t harm his master. If he had that intention, Xiao Ling would exhaust all of his energy in killing this person to protect his master.

Therefore, other than the request from little master, Xiao Ling also wanted Xiao Tong to stay to question him in person.

Xiao Tong was very cooperative. He immediately grabbed Xiao Ling’s sleeve and refused to put it down. He even laughed happily.

Xiao Lingyu thought about it. They were in Xiao Ling’s space, and there was no danger. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lingyu nodded and agreed, “Alright then. Ling ‘Er, take good care of the baby. If there’s anything, just call me, understand?”

Xiao Ling nodded, “Yes, yes, I understand.”

“Alright then. I’m leaving!” Xiao Lingyu said.

“Yes!” Xiao Ling quickly nodded. Xiao Lingyu was speechless when Xiao Tong waved at her. The two kids were really eager to chase her away.

“Have fun then, the two of you.” Xiao Lingyu was a little worried as she instructed, “Ling ‘Er, if the baby is hungry or something, you must call me!”

“Yes, yes, master, please leave.” Xiao Ling couldn’t wait to chase her away.

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

…

After Xiao Lingyu left the space, Xiao Ling immediately put Xiao Tong on the ground and asked in a serious and alert tone, “You are not my Little Master, so who are you? In this dimension, humans don’t have spiritual Qi, and they can’t cultivate. However, your spiritual sense is powerful, so it’s obvious that you’re not an ordinary person. You are an immortal cultivator. Who are you, and where is my real little master?”

Xiao Tong rolled his eyes and said directly, “Hmph, what are you going to do? Are you going to kill me?”

Xiao Ling said very sternly, “If you harm my master, no matter who you are, I’ll kill you.”

Xiao Ling had just said then when a force bent his legs, and he was forced to kneel.

A look of disdain appeared in Xiao Tong’s eyes. He coldly snorted and said, “You are just a little spatial spirit, yet you want to kill me? You are really daydreaming!”

Xiao Ling wanted to stand up, but he could not. His little face was as white as paper, and he was sweating profusely. However, he still gritted his teeth and said, “Even if I can’t kill you, you are in my space. Even if I have to perish, I will destroy you. I will definitely not let you hurt Master.”

When Xiao Tong heard this, his brows narrowed. Then, he sneered. “Hmph. Since I can come in easily, do you think I can’t leave as I wish? If I want to kill you, it will be as easy as flipping my hand!”

Xiao Ling said very stubbornly, “But we’re in my space now. Once I disperse my spirit and use my essence to bind you, do you think you can escape?” Xiao Ling looked at the child on the ground and said, “Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, your spiritual sense is only slightly stronger than normal. You haven’t even reached the first level of the Qi refining stage. Therefore, it’s still very easy for me to kill you.”

“Impudent!” Xiao Tong suddenly said sternly, “Who allowed you to talk to me like that?”

Xiao Ling, “…”

Xiao Tong continued, “Your master wasn’t actually that woman outside. You’re actually willing to sacrifice yourself to protect her. Isn’t that stupid?”

Xiao Ling said, “No. From the moment she activated this space, she has become my master. So, no matter what, even if I sacrifice myself, I have to protect her!”

“Okay, I hope you remember what you said!” Xiao Tong suddenly said, “Even if you have to sacrifice yourself, you have to protect my mother! Otherwise, even if I haven’t cultivated to the first level of the Qi refinement realm, I will come to kill you.”

Xiao Ling was stunned. He couldn’t believe his ears. What did he mean?

Xiao Tong pursed his lips. “Get up. What are you doing there?”

Xiao Ling stood up in a daze.

“You… What did you say just now?” Xiao Ling stuttered and asked.

Xiao Tong said, “I was just testing you. After all, as you said, my mother is just an ordinary person. You are a relic spirit, but you have acknowledged my mother as your master.

“But what if one day, you suddenly want to leave? Will you kill her and escape? I definitely won’t allow this to happen.”

Xiao Ling immediately refuted, “How is this possible? Since I’ve acknowledged Master, I won’t betray her.” Although he was a spirit, he was very loyal.

Xiao Tong nodded. “I won’t hurt you now that I know your loyalty.”

Xiao Ling was still confused. But at least he confirmed that the cultivator was there to protect his master. However, he also knew that cultivators were all ruthless. Wasn’t he there to steal the spiritual space from Xiao Lingyu?

Xiao Tong saw Xiao Ling’s confused expression and read his thoughts. Xiao Tong sighed, “Don’t worry. I’m still me, and I won’t steal you away from mom.”

“Ah?” Xiao Ling was befuddled. “You’re still you? What do you mean?”

Xiao Tong said, “You’re from the cultivation world, so you should know about the multiple worlds in the great universe, right?”

Xiao Ling nodded.

“I’ll tell you the truth,” Xiao Tong said to Xiao Ling. “I am the original Xiao Letong. I was born in my mother’s stomach twice. The first time…”

Xiao Tong didn’t hide anything from Xiao Ling.

Technically, Xiao Tong and Xiao Ling were kindred spirits. They were both cultivators stuck in a human world. Furthermore, Xiao Tong needed Xiao Ling’s help to protect Xiao Lingyu and the Xiao Family.

So he told Xiao Ling everything.
