Chapter 518: You Ungrateful Xiaobai

Old Madame Ji waved at the two of them. "Come over here, Suisui and I have something to discuss with you!"

Upon hearing Old Madame Ji’s words, Ji Youyuan showed little reaction, but Huo Xing’Er was completely flabbergasted.

Isn’t Suisui with me? When did she join Mother?

Old Madame Ji chuckled lightly, pointed to the Lotus Pond on the side, and said, "She’s in the Lotus Pond over there. You two go stand by the edge and talk to her. And definitely don’t jump in!"

Given Ji Youran’s previous misadventure, Old Madame Ji made a point to give them this extra instruction.

"Understood, Mother!" Ji Youyuan and Huo Xing’Er replied, then walked over to the edge of the Lotus Pond and called out, "Suisui!"

"Eldest Maternal Uncle! Second Maternal Aunt! You’re finally here!" Xiaosuisui chirped, swimming happily in the Lotus Pond. Hearing Ji Youyuan and Huo Xing’Er call her, she quickly swam in their direction.

"Eldest Maternal Uncle, hug!" The little girl raised her arms in the Lotus Pond, eager for a hug from her long-unseen eldest maternal uncle.

Huo Xing’Er, who was reaching out to lift her from the Lotus Pond, was so annoyed she called her a "little ingrate."

"You really are a little ingrate! After all the love your Second Maternal Aunt showers on you, you only want your Eldest Maternal Uncle and not me!"

As Xiaosuisui was being held by Ji Youyuan, she said cheerfully to Huo Xing’Er, "Second Maternal Aunt hugs me every day. I haven’t seen Eldest Maternal Uncle in ages!"

What she said, though not entirely pleasant, certainly made sense!

Huo Xing’Er wasn’t angry anymore.

Ji Youyuan said, "My little sweetheart is so thoughtful. I truly wish your Eldest Maternal Aunt could have a little daughter as thoughtful as you!"

Xiaosuisui blinked. "Isn’t Eldest Maternal Aunt already pregnant with a little sister?"

Huo Xing’Er coughed. "She hasn’t been born yet! How would you know if it’s a boy or a girl?"

She surreptitiously glanced at Old Madame Ji.

Every mother-in-law hopes for a grandson; Mother, please don’t read too much into this!

Old Madame Ji didn’t notice Huo Xing’Er’s covert glance, but chuckled and said, "It would be best to have dragon-phoenix twins, one boy and one girl—that would be just perfect!"

Xiaosuisui clapped her hands. "Dragon-phoenix twins are great! Dragon-phoenix twins are great!"

Ji Youyuan couldn’t help but plant a soft kiss on her cheek, then asked, "Where is this? How did I get here?"

Old Madame Ji explained, "This is Suisui’s Dream Realm. You remember when Suisui cried out for my help in a dream, don’t you? It happened right here. It turns out she really did pull me in."

Huo Xing’Er and Ji Youyuan weren’t surprised by Old Madame Ji’s words. They had already suspected Xiaosuisui might possess some hidden secret, possibly an ability to enter others’ dreams. Who would have thought she possessed such a formidable ability, to pull people’s Divine Souls directly into her own Dream Realm!

"I see. So, when Third Brother and Seventh Brother suddenly fainted, was it because they also entered Suisui’s Dream Realm?" Ji Youyuan asked.

Old Madame Ji nodded. "Correct. They indeed entered."

Huo Xing’Er and Ji Youyuan looked around. Not spotting Ji Youran and the others, they asked in unison, "Then where are they?"

The Old Madame responded with some helplessness, "Suisui sent them all out. Second Daughter-in-law," she said to Huo Xing’Er, "after your husband, Second Brother, came in, something happened. From now on, he might..."

For the first time, Huo Xing’Er saw Old Madame Ji hesitate like this, as if withholding something. Sensing the matter might not be simple, she promptly asked, "Might what?"
