Perhaps it is because of this that she is so innocent, untainted by the mud, and defenseless in the face of strangers.
"Brother Wutan, you are not disturbing me. Over the years, I have never seen anyone except Daddy and Xiaoyi. You are the first one. Brother Wutan, can you stay for a few days and talk to me?" Shishi smiled sweetly with a pleading look that made people unable to refuse.
Wu Tian said: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"
"Brother Wu Tian is not a bad person. Xiao Yi can see through people's hearts. If you have a bad heart, it will not let you get close to it, let alone touch it."
The flying fox hummed softly and licked her little hand with its scarlet tongue, which made her giggle.
"Brother Wutan, Xiaoyi said that you have deep resentment and unresolved sadness in your heart, but you won't hurt me, so I can play with you." She stroked Xiaoyi's hair gently, her voice clear and pleasant, her big eyes blinking, full of anticipation.
The little girl was so cute that Wu Tian couldn't bear to refuse. He was silent for a while and smiled, "Such a beautiful place, and such a cute little sister wants to stay. If I don't agree..."
"Yeah! Brother Wutan agreed. Shishi is so happy." Before he finished speaking, the little girl jumped up and cheered on the lawn like an elf.
Shishi naturally took Wutian's arm and said, "Brother Wutian, you look really good when you smile. Don't cry all the time. Learn from me. Be happy and carefree every day, and you won't get old!"
Wutan smiled and nodded. Shishi's kindness and innocence infected him. For a moment, he forgot many of his worries and felt a lot more relaxed.
"Brother Wutian, I'll take you to see Xiaohua. It's so beautiful. You'll definitely like it. Let me tell you, don't bully it. It's Shishi's best friend."
"Brother Wu Tian, let me tell you a secret. I forgot to water the little flower yesterday and it almost died. When I went to see it in the morning, it was sitting weakly in the flowerpot. I was almost heartbroken. Fortunately, it is alive again. I am so happy."
Pulling him towards the attic, Shishi jumped and chattered all the way, talking non-stop, as if she wanted to say all the words that Twelve hadn't said yet all at once.
Wu Tian smiled and listened quietly.
The scenery here is pleasant, quiet and elegant, far away from the world, it is a good place to cultivate one's body and mind. Wu Tian simply let go of his heart, put all things aside temporarily, and relax.
He accompanied Shishi to see the little flower. It was a very common wild flower that was everywhere in the mountains, but Shishi treated it as a friend and nurtured it carefully, watering and pruning it continuously, day after day, year after year.
Xiaotian was very happy. Although he was warned not to attack Xiaoyi, as long as he could stay, he would have no worries about opportunities. However, Feitian Fox did not seem to give him any chance. It always followed Shishi and Wutian, making it impossible for him to attack.
This made it feel itchy all over.
"Look over there, there are so many auspicious deer, and over here, there are beautiful phoenixes. Wow! There are more than a dozen white scales. Brother Wu Tian, look, they all come out to say hello to you."
Groups of monsters came out from all around and played with Shishi. They looked ferocious and scary, but in front of this little angel, they were as docile as sheep, without any viciousness.
On this day, Wu Tian went to many places and saw all kinds of wild flowers and harmless animals. This place is really a pure land, without killing, no disputes, no hatred, and no greed. Everything is so simple and pure!
At night, the moon was bright in the sky and the stars were shining brightly. Two people and two animals sat by the pond, admiring the moonlight.
Shishi raised her little head and said, "Daddy said that every star in the sky represents a person, and he is the brightest one. So every time I miss Daddy, I will look at the stars here, hoping to find the one that belongs to Daddy, but every one of them is so bright. Which one is Daddy? Brother Wutian, do you know?"
She hugged her legs with her arms, her smaller body curled up, and her beautiful eyes like black gemstones reflected the stars and the moon, filled with longing and loneliness, which made people feel distressed.
"Shishi, your father is right. Everyone is a star, and some of them are our family members. When they are not with us, they will silently watch over us from the sky and care about us. They have never left and have always been quietly guarding us."
Once upon a time, he was the same, looking up at the starry sky at night, hoping that his parents would appear in front of him, but sixteen years have passed, and they have never appeared, and it is just an empty hope. But he didn't want to dash Shishi's hopes, and didn't want her to be sad because of her father's lies, so he didn't tell the truth.
"Shishi, look, that bright star is your father. He is twinkling and winking at you!" Wutan pointed to the sky and said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Well, how could my brother lie to you?" Wutan nodded.
Shishi was delighted and shouted to the night sky, "Daddy, I finally found you. Shishi missed you so much."
That night, Shishi said a lot. Wutan roughly guessed that Shishi's identity was extraordinary. Her father was a strong man, perhaps one of the best in the entire Qinglong Continent. As for why he let his daughter live here, Shishi's answer was very vague.
Late at night, Shishi was tired and sleepy, so she fell asleep in Wutan's arms. She felt so lonely, and she held his hand tightly, afraid that when she woke up, he would be gone.
There was a smile on her face, as if she was having a sweet dream and sleeping soundly. Wu Tian did not disturb her. He took off his coat and covered her with it to block the cold wind.
"Perhaps their original intention was just to protect us and keep us out of danger, but how could they understand our longing for family affection? As long as we can be with our family day and night, no matter how many dangers there are or how difficult life is, we will feel happy and warm!"
Wutan looked at the night quietly, feeling sad for Shishi and also sad for himself. They were both the same kind of people who had never received love from their parents.
The next day, the morning sun gradually rose, dispelling the coldness of the night.
Wu Tian picked up the sleeping little girl, walked into the attic, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.
He came to the edge of the cliff, began to breathe in and out, and went about his daily routine.
The morning was full of vitality, the rays of light were gushing out, and it was beautiful and moving. His body was covered with a layer of color. Essence rolled in from all directions, and the place became hazy.
Wu Tian's body and mind were in harmony. The energy here was very dense, several times that of the outside world, so he could practice with half the effort and get twice the result with half the effort. The energy in his sea of qi became more and more dense, like silver foil, surging and emitting a soft glow.
The air here is pure without a trace of impurities. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, it is peaceful and tranquil. He can feel his soul gradually sublimating and reaching an unprecedented realm.
He had a premonition that it would not be long before his essence and energy would transform into Yuan, breaking through the initial stage of rebirth and reaching the minor stage of rebirth.
Shishi woke up and found herself alone. She looked around and shouted loudly, her big eyes flickering and tears streaming down her face. Finally, she found the edge of the cliff, threw herself into Wutian's arms, and burst into tears.
"Brother Wutian, I thought you left me and Shishi was so sad."
She cried very sadly, her little hands tightly grasping Wutan's sleeves, refusing to let go, her petite body trembling constantly. She was very scared, afraid that she was alone again.
"Silly girl, how could your brother leave Shishi alone? Don't cry, you're almost a little kitten." Wutan comforted her softly, and an idea grew in his mind. He wanted to take care of this lonely little girl.
But this thought soon faded away. He couldn't stay here forever. He still had a blood feud to avenge and his parents to find.
"Shishi is not a little kitten." She was very innocent and laughed through her tears, like a beautiful butterfly flying among the flowers.
"Brother, I will take you to a place where there are many sparkling treasures." She took Wutan's hand, walked through the flowers, crossed the pond, and went to the back of the attic.
Xiaoyi hurriedly followed, her white fur shining softly in the sunlight, her two big eyes moving with a rare spirituality, extraordinary and magical.
Xiaotian still didn't give up and was always thinking about Xiaoyi. He also knew that it was impossible to eat the Flying Fox now, but at least he could get a piece of meat or a drop of blood. It wouldn't be a wasted trip.
Soon, Shishi brought Wutan to the end of the cliff. There was a hill about five meters high, covered with green grass and bright wild flowers. There was a cave entrance on the mountain wall. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen. This was a cave.
Shishi was very familiar with this place, so she walked straight into the cave. She stretched out her little hand, and a milky white light overflowed, forming a ball of light, soft and beautiful, illuminating the place.
"Bright Spirit..."
Wutan was surprised that Shishi was actually a rare bright spirit. No wonder the flying fox could follow her, and those ferocious monsters were so kind to her. It turned out that this was the reason.
Light represents hope and clarity. It eliminates all darkness and makes all things appear beautiful. It can soothe people's hearts and make them feel ethereal.
Light is a magical power. Only those with pure souls and kind hearts can inherit and be recognized by light.
"Why is brother so surprised? Is it strange?" Shishi tilted her head and asked puzzledly.
Wu Tian smiled but said nothing. The purer the soul of the light spirit, the faster it can cultivate. He probably guessed that the reason why Shishi's parents sent her here was to keep her virginity from worldly influences.
"Quack!" Xiaotian jumped onto Shishi's shoulder. The soft light merged into his body. He enjoyed it very much and looked intoxicated.
"Ahh..." This ugly guy actually ran onto the beautiful Shishi's shoulder. Xiaoyi couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up, more than one meter high, and clapped her paws to drive it down.
The little guy jumped and dodged it swiftly, pointed at it, held his belly and cried loudly, as if it was laughing at him. If you have the ability, you can also become small!
"Xiaoyi, don't bully Xiaotian. Actually, he is very cute." Shishi smiled, not caring about the sticky liquid on the little guy.
“Ah…” Shishi actually scolded her for this hateful guy. Xiaoyi felt aggrieved and glared at him fiercely.
Shishi walked in front, the light in her hand illuminating the road. After a few steps, she stopped and said, "Brother Wutian, these shiny things are beautiful, right?"
