The little girl, gazing at her seventh uncle, had a very bad feeling. She felt that the look in his eyes somehow carried a hint of displeasure!
"Sev...Seventh Uncle! Whatās wrong?"
The little girl spread her small hands and, with her short legs, scampered joyfully towards Ji Youzhi, habitually seeking a hug. However, halfway there, she stopped, instinctively standing still on the spot.
Ji Youzhi cracked a smile, strode forward, bent down to scoop her up, and lightly slapped her tiny bottom twice.
"Was it fun, arbitrarily pulling people into your Dream Realm? You pulled me into your Dream Realm in broad daylight, almost making me lose face completely!"
Xiaosuisui touched her bottom, which didnāt actually hurt much, and blinked pitifully at Ji Youzhi, feeling utterly wronged and helpless.
"I... I didnāt know what you were doing then, or whether I could even pull you in!"
She was truly wronged, but she didnāt want to admit any fault. She wasnāt wrong; she really hadnāt known what her seventh uncle was doing at that moment.
"You... You think youāre justified, donāt you?"
Ji Youzhi was quite helpless and could only gently tap her little head.
"Iām telling the truth, okay!"
Xiaosuisui rubbed her little head, murmuring innocently.
Ji Youzhi, seething with frustration, raised his hand to flick her forehead again. Unexpectedly, Yun Kuo walked over, followed by the people from both sides of the Yunhang Coast who had just been rescued!
"Cousin Youzhi, what did Suisui do wrong?"
From afar, Yun Kuo had seen Ji Youzhi spanking Xiaosuisuiās bottom. At first, he thought Ji Youzhi had missed her after not seeing her for several days and was only patting her bottom affectionately.
But then the scene took an unexpected turn; Ji Youzhi was actually being quite rough. Not only did he spank Xiaosuisuiās bottom, but he also flicked her head several times!
"This little girl clearly hasnāt been listening to you properly these past few days. Iām teaching her to listen to her Uncle Yun Kuo in the future and not to misbehave!" Ji Youzhi proclaimed quite grandly, glaring fiercely at Xiaosuisui.
Yun Kuo was...
For a moment, he found himself unable to refute Ji Youzhiās words.
"Cousin, have all the people of Wangwu Mountain dispersed their Witch Power yet? When can we arrange for them to board the ships and return?"
Taking advantage of Yun Kuoās dazed state, Ji Youzhi quickly changed the subject.
Yun Kuo snapped back to his senses. "There are still a few dozen. Iāll go handle them right away. There are many people here, Cousin Youzhi, so you can start arranging for them to board the ships. By the time Iām done, things on my end should be about settled."
"Then Iāll trouble you, Cousin. Weāll split up and act separately. The situation in Yunhang is quite tricky, so General Dugu and I must hurry back. General Dugu will leave you three ships; they should be enough to hold all these people."
"Ah! You mean youāre leaving early and not waiting for us to go together?"
Ji Youzhi explained, "Returning by ship is too slow. General Dugu and I will go back with the Great Phoenix first. As for these people, Iāll have to trouble you, Cousin, to escort them to Yunhang!"
"Ah, this..." Yun Kuo really didnāt want this escort job. He also wanted to leave early. Heād heard that Yunhang was currently dealing with another clone of the Great Wizard, and he wanted to personally slay the Great Wizardās clone!
"Uncle Yun Kuo, itās a great merit to help escort these Yunhang people back. This will also be beneficial for Great-Grandfather in the Nine Netherworlds to eliminate karmic obstacles."
As soon as Xiaosuisui said this, Yun Kuoās eyes widened in excitement. "Rea...Really?" His voice trembled.
Xiaosuisui blinked. "Of course! Uncle Yun Kuo, rest assured, I will leave Xiaoqing with you. He will help escort you. If you get lost at sea like Uncle Dugu, Xiaoqing will proactively guide you, okay!"
Standing to the side, Dugu, who hadnāt spoken a word yet was suddenly called out, felt his handsome face darken instantly...
Was there a crack in the ground anywhere? He desperately wanted to crawl into one!
"Well... well then! Be careful on your journey!"
Xiaosuisui said very smugly, "Donāt worry, Uncle Yun Kuo. With me here, everyone will be fine!"
Yun Kuo: "..."
He wished he hadnāt said anything.
He waved his hand, urging them to leave quickly!
The people of Yunhang watched as Xiaosuisui and the Soldiers who had arrived earlier boarded the ships, while they themselves were still left on the shore, and they couldnāt help but feel anxious.
