Once things settled down, Suisui dragged Ji Youzhi into the room. She needed to seize the opportunity to find Yun Kuo, so he could protect her while she immediately entered the Dream Realm.
Upon entering, she saw Ah Ling, who now looked like a girl around ten years old. The moment Ah Ling saw Suisui, her face turned as black as thunder.
"Youâre impressive, wielding hundreds to thousands of years of power with just the meridians of a five-year-old!"
Suisui blinked, feeling inexplicably panicked inside.
"I... I wasnât thinking much at the time, just that with you around, I would definitely not die!" The little girl grabbed her arm and shook it, looking adorably simple-minded.
Her thoughtless flattery just came out like that.
Finished, Ah Ling couldnât handle the little girlâs coy act.
She reached out and knocked on her little head, "Where did you learn this from? I canât stand you. Let me tell you, if you keep being so impulsive, what if someone who really wants you dead knocks you unconscious and then sets your real body on fire?"
"Are you planning to roam outside as a lone spirit?"
Suisui hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, no! I wonât be a wandering ghost outside. If I become a ghost, I have to go to the Underworld!"
Underworld: No, no, no! We wouldnât dare to take a ghost like you!
"Let me tell you, the next time youâre in such a situation, absolutely donât go by yourself. How many people in the Mortal Dust truly have the power to defy the heavens?
If thereâs a villain, thereâs naturally a fierce person who will balance him. Why gamble your life with him?
Is your life valuable?
Or is his life valuable?
Youâre a complete person; heâs merely a wisp of divine sense. If this body is gone, he can still find another replacement!
Is sacrificing a complete little life worth it?"
Suisui was dumbstruck by Ah Lingâs scolding. At first, she didnât react, but then something crossed her mind, and she pouted, and tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"I know I was wrong." The little girl pouted with her lips, teary eyes hanging on the edge, looking pitiful.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful. Do you think I donât know how old you really are?
My physical form changes according to your mental age.
Your body is only four or five years old, but youâve learned to connect hearts. Now, how old are you? Tell me?"
Suisui: "..." This can be a reason why she canât cry?
"I was wrong, Ah Ling. Donât be mad at me. I wonât be so impulsive in the future, alright?"
Suisui wiped her tears forcefully, smearing her sleeve with tears and snot!
However, Ah Ling showed no sign of forgiving her, still looking angry.
Suisui started shedding tears again, pitifully calling "Ah Ling."
Ah Ling held her forehead helplessly, thinking she should just let it go. After all, the master is still a child, even if she thought of ways to help her cultivate the art of connecting hearts.
But the time was short, not to mention this girl kept making trouble!
Ah Ling had been in seclusion, and really had no time to teach. Her relatives were of no help either. The best person in the Ji Family to teach children, Huo XingâEr, hadnât come out this time, leaving only Xie PanâEr, who had the fate of a mother to the world but poor luck, whose guidance wasnât quite sufficient.
Ah Ling sighed helplessly in her heart. Let the earlier events pass. Just as she thought this, she heard Suisui say.
"Ah Ling, donât be angry anymore, okay? How about this, Iâll start body training from now on, okay?
As long as I train my body to become like Xunyangâs clone with copper skin and iron bones, then next time if I pass out, no one can burn my body anymore, right?"
Ah Ling was momentarily stunned by Suisuiâs words and suddenly thought it was feasible.
"Then letâs start the training now! Iâll immediately give you a prescription, and you can find someone outside to prepare a big pot, then boil water and add herbs, where you can stew for three to five hours at a time, again and again, for ten to eight years, I guarantee your body wonât just turn into copper skin and iron bones but also be impervious to blades and fire!"
Suisui opened her mouth, her little legs trembling.
She was about to say she didnât want to, promising she wonât take risks anymore, when she heard Ah Ling say.
"Of course, thatâs just the beginning. After you forge copper skin and iron bones, itâs time for the Celestial Fire to refine you.
