Chapter 5179 Great Uncle
Chapter 5179 Great Uncle
Seated between her two brothers, she was separated from Xiao Junyan by her younger brother Muchen, while her Big Brother stood between her and the young lady. When she reached out to hand over the whip, her Big Brother took it and passed it to the girl.
The girl, seeing the black-clad youth offer the whip, glanced at him before accepting it. "My name is Mei Zhuxin," she said. "I came with my Old Predecessor. This is my brother, Mei Zhubao."
The youth beside them glanced their way, gave a slight nod, and then let his gaze linger on Yue'er. There was no other reason-besides his sister, she was the only little girl here, and what's more, a girl not yet ten years old.
"This is my eldest Senior Brother, Yun Chen. This is my second Senior Brother, Yun Yuan. And him-he's Xiao Junyan. The Great Emperor Xiao Tian is his Old Predecessor." Yun Qi leaned over the table, half-crouching as she spoke to her.
"Yun Qi, even though I've never left the island, I've heard of you. They say your master, the Azure Emperor, treats you exceptionally well- even bringing this Divine Whip to give you as a weapon for self-defense. I've always heard about this whip, but today is the first time I've seen it. I never imagined it would be so beautiful. Yun Qi, your master truly cares for you." Her voice dripped with envy as she ran her hand over the whip, studying it for a long moment before finally handing it back.
"Of course. My master cherishes me most~"
Yun Qi smiled brightly as she tucked the whip back at her waist. "You guys never get to leave the island either? I thought it was just us! My master keeps us in seclusion for cultivation, never letting us out to play."
"I've never left the island, but my brother has. Our clan has a rule-
you can only leave for training once you turn fifteen. This time, it's because Hell's Lord and the Phoenix Empress are hosting a banquet, so we got the chance to come out with our Old Predecessor." She glanced around and added, "Honestly, this place is way prettier than our island."
"Right? I think it's gorgeous too-like a fairyland. My master's Yunxiao Mountain is just mountains and trees everywhere, like being deep in the wilderness. But this place is different. Everywhere is beautiful, and there's even a rainbow bridge! Did you see it?" Yue'er chattered cheerfully, her heart brimming with delight.
Because this was her home!
Xiao Junyan watched her chatter nonstop with her new friends. He'd intended to have a proper conversation with her, but now couldn't get a word in. Moreover, for some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling that Yun Qi's two Senior Brothers didn't seem too fond of him getting too close to her.
While they chatted, Mo Chen soon arrived, settling down not far from the Azure Emperor and the others. Behind him stood Feng Ye and Zhao Yang
"Little Qi," Feng Ye called, beckoning Yun Qi with a wave.
Spotting him, Yun Qi blinked. This was their great-uncle! The one their Mother called "Little Uncle." Though calling him great-uncle seemed a bit too old-he didn't look much older than them.
"Little Qi, don't recognize me?" Feng Ye saw the little girl blinking at him and couldn't help but give a mischievous smile. He stood up and walked over to the three of them, sitting down beside them.
"Look what I brought you!" As he spoke, he pulled a paper oil-proof wrapper from his spatial storage. Opening it revealed a roasted chicken inside.
"Roasted chicken?" Yue'er looked slightly stunned.
