"They are dead, just as long as you are alive?"
Suisui thought that if all living beings perished and she survived alone...
"Among all the living beings, does that include Uncle, Aunt, another Aunt, yet another Aunt, and Grandmother, along with everyone I know?"
Ji Youyuan watched the little girl counting everyone she knew, including Erhu, with whom she had gathered all the gold and silver from Qixia Temple and the Grand Palace. His heart felt bittersweet.
Aching so much, as if stuffed with cotton!
"Correct, all of us will die, and only you will remain. Or, all the people you know wonāt die, but everyone else will perish.
At that time, you will have Uncle, Aunt, Grandmother, and Erhu accompanying you. In that scenario, would you be happy?"
Suisui didnāt hesitate to ask.
"Why would they die?
Your father often said the realm was his, and its people were his subjects. He must protect them, never let them wander, and prevent them from dying without cause. The living he would shield for a better life.
Those not alive, he would ensure a worthy death."
Suisuiās words made Ji Youyuan emotional. He couldnāt help but stroke Suisuiās little head.
He thought, the worries in Old Seventhās heart arenāt unfounded, but what use is anxiety?
What must come will come. That Xunyang could call out "Celestial Dao Child" surely for a reason. As an uncle, he must shield him from the storm!
"Uncle, Father is the king of Great Han, committed to guarding the people, fending off foreign threats, and benefiting the subjects. As the Eldest Princess of Great Han, what should I do?"
Suisui tilted her head, full of confusion in her eyes.
Ji Youyuan stroked her head, "Do what you can with your abilities, but ensure youāre safe first, understand?"
Upon hearing Ji Youyuanās words, Suisui nodded.
"Okay, then Iāll do what I can, as people often say, contributing my little effort!"
After saying this, she giggled, her eyes bent like the little crescent moon in the sky!
"Hmm! We can only contribute a little, because we must preserve life to continue protecting the people.
Suisui, remember, whatever we do, consider the sorrow and grief at the end of life.
So, whatever we do outside, we must be cautious about life-threatening situations. Only by preserving life can there be a future."
Suisui nodded, her voice crisp and clear, "I understand, Uncle. I will find a way to preserve my little life in the future!"
Perhaps, after breaking through, follow Ah Lingās advice to refine the body?
Suisui thought this and heard Ji Youyuan continue.
"Moreover, Uncle must remind you, if you encounter danger that you canāt handle, go directly to your grandfather.
He is knowledgeable, living in the realm of cultivation. Whether dealing with Witch Gods or Evil Gods, he probably has solutions.
Just go ahead and ask him for treasures! Understand?"
Ji Shang: Sneezing all day, not letting me meet, intentionally troubling me!
"I understand, Uncle! Iāve already arranged with Grandfather that when I return to the Capital City, Iāll bring everyone and Grandfather into the Dream Realm to meet.
The time hasnāt come yet; unless at the brink of death, I canāt bring him in!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Youyuan was puzzled, "Why canāt you just bring him in? When you brought us in, you did it casually, whenever you wanted!"
Suisui pouted helplessly.
"Because Grandfather loves fighting, he said if I randomly try to bring him in while heās fighting, and someone takes advantage to stab him, he would die."
Ji Youyuan: "..."
Alright!
Seems he was overthinking!
"Alright, do you have anything else memorized?
If not, send Uncle out!
I still have to go to the Palace to discuss matters with your Eighth Uncle and others!"
"Oh! Nothing else, you can leave!"
Suisui effortlessly sent Ji Youyuan away.
Once Ji Youyuan left, Ah Ling immediately appeared before her, holding dozens of body refining recipes.
"Ah... Ah Ling! You... youāre really making me refine the body?"
Suisui recalled the previous body refining methods and felt uncomfortable, wanting to escape.
Ah Ling didnāt stop her, even if she wanted, she couldnāt. The Soul-Calling Bell is the Masterās Divine Artifact, allowing him to come and go freely.
But that doesnāt mean she canāt send out these refining recipes.
Thus, after Suisui emerged from the Dream Realm, she met the gaze of her Seventh Uncle, hearing him say.
"Turns out refining the Copper Skin Iron Bones is so tough!"
"Ah!"
Suisui opened her mouth, hurriedly asking, "Does Seventh Uncle know how to cultivate Copper Skin Iron Bones?"
Ji Youzhi waved the formulas and annotations in his hand, and the refining methods written on the back.
"Didnāt you take these from the Dream Realm?
Donāt you know?"
Ji Youzhi then pointed at the most terrifying annotation on the front of one recipe.
"See, it says, āThe Masterās body has been metamorphosed, cultivated. Whether Divine Soul or skin and bones, they are most suitable for this Immortalās indestructible body refining method!
Only this method ensures every time the Master nears death, the Divine Soul enters the Dream Realm for preservation, while the body remains unburnt by others!"
Suisui listened to Ji Youzhi read this segment, and she felt like crying.
She grabbed Ji Youzhiās arm, pitifully saying.
"Seventh Uncle, donāt listen to Ah Ling, I wonāt refine my body. Iāll be cautious and wonāt put myself in danger anymore!"
However...
