Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 15 Two People Who Dislike Each Other

"You really do understand me, you are the Spirit Furnace."

Bai Xi smiled and nodded, her eyes crinkling with joy.

She obtained a spirit furnace, though the process was arduous and somewhat dangerous. However, the rewards were immense, because this spirit furnace was far from ordinary.

Long Haochen was quite surprised; he hadn't expected that he had actually guessed correctly.

"But isn't that thing very rare? The teacher said we're not qualified to have it yet."

That's because he's always underestimated us.

Bai Xi subconsciously replied that she didn't like Long Xingyu.

Because Long Xingyu doesn't like her either.

Bai Xi is very sensitive to other people's emotions. She knows that during the year they spent together, whenever Long Xingyu looked at her, it was as if he was looking at someone else through her.

That person must be an enemy, because Long Xingyu always showed suppressed disgust when facing her.

Long Xingyu was good at hiding his emotions, but unfortunately, Bai Xi was very sensitive, and no matter how well he hid them, it was useless; he couldn't fool Bai Xi.

"Xixi."

Long Haochen was a little embarrassed. He greatly respected Long Xingyu and believed that Long Xingyu had changed his life.

But Bai Xi, this younger sister, is also very important.

So he hesitated for only a moment before siding with Bai Xi and convincing himself to change his mind.

"Xixi is still a child. What can a child understand? Teacher, you won't hold it against her, right?"

After convincing himself, Long Haochen smiled and praised Bai Xi.

"It's because our Xixi is just too outstanding."

As he spoke, Long Haochen helped Bai Xi up; it was already broad daylight.

“We should go home now. The teacher gave us two days, and it’s only the second day. If we go back now, we can spend more time with our mothers.”

"But we need to hand in the mission in Haoyue City first, and then change into new clothes so that Mom won't be sad when she sees you like this."

He said he was worried about hurting Bai Yue's feelings, but Long Haochen himself had red eyes the whole time.

"Okay, okay, let's all get new clothes. I want a sapphire blue dress, you buy it for me."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

The two supported each other as they headed towards Haoyue City.

To get home from their location, they would normally have to pass through Bright Moon City to reach their home outside Odin Town.

"Haochen, Xixi, are you injured?"

As soon as they arrived near the Adventurers' Guild, they heard a familiar voice.

It was Li Xin; her long pink hair was truly eye-catching.

"Huh? We're not injured? Why did you think we were? We're here to deliver a mission. What a coincidence that you're here."

The brother and sister spoke in unison, their words and tone exactly the same.

"Unfortunately, I was waiting for you to come back."

Li Xin strode over and looked them over carefully for a while.

"You say you're not injured? What happened to your clothes? They've been soaked in water many times, and there are even marks from sharp blades on them."

"And look at your faces, they're not as healthy and rosy as they were yesterday..."

Li Xin was surprisingly meticulous, pointing out the differences between them one by one.

"It was just a minor danger, nothing serious. Look, we're all back safe and sound, aren't we?"

Bai Xi's smile is sweet, making it easy for people to soften their hearts.

Li Xin didn't believe it was just a minor injury, but seeing that they wanted to hide it, she didn't say much, just silently kept it in her heart. She even started to complain about their teacher in her mind.

"I don't know how heartless their teacher is to let two ten-year-old children come out to do a task alone. Aren't they afraid that something might really happen?"

“Although training is necessary, if something unexpected happens during training, it will be too late for him to regret it.”

The person Li Xin complained about was currently embracing a beauty, in an extremely pleasant mood. Even sneezing several times early in the morning did not dampen his good spirits.

"You guys go and hand in your mission first, then I'll take you to change your clothes, have a meal, and get some rest."

Li Xin is so warm-hearted; she takes care of the two of them in every way. Even a biological older sister wouldn't be as kind as her.

Li Xin generously picked out many clothes for the two of them. Most of the clothes for Long Haochen were blue and gold, but the clothes for Bai Xi were pink and blue.

"I knew I had good taste. You look even cuter in this color. You look so soft and sweet."

Looking at Bai Xi, who had been given a makeover, Li Xin was extremely satisfied.

Bai Xi looked at her reflection in the mirror, which appeared harmless, delicate, and soft, and felt a little unaccustomed to it.

She actually prefers darker colors, and this is the first time she's worn such a pinkish color.

But it was really hard to refuse Li Xin's enthusiasm.

Not only did he pick out a bunch of clothes for them, but he also insisted on paying for them himself, not allowing them to contribute a single penny.

"Now that we've picked out the clothes, let's go eat. I'll treat you to the best restaurant in town."

Now that it's hard to refuse, I have no choice but to refuse.

"Thank you for your kind offer, sister, but let's get together another time. The teacher gave us a tight schedule this time, so I have to head back now."

"I'm so sorry, sister, I really don't have time this time."

Long Haochen and Bai Xi spoke one after the other.

Actually, Bai Xi had enough time to stay and have a meal with Li Xin, but she had a strange feeling that urged her to go home quickly.

It was as if they would regret it if they didn't go home immediately.

Therefore, I can only disappoint Li Xin's good intentions.

"Okay, then let's get together again next time."

Although Li Xin was somewhat disappointed, she was not angry and personally escorted the two out of the city.

After leaving Haoyue City, the two headed home.

On the way, they continued to play the game of who gets home first, but in reality, no matter who was in the lead, they would stop and wait for the other.

We've been together all the way from beginning to end.

Even if someone takes a shortcut to get there faster, they will eventually return to the same path because their goal is the same.

"I secretly bought a dress for my mom at the clothing store. I'll be home soon, and I'm going to give her a surprise."

Bai Xi was visibly happy to be going home.

Because this was the first time she had been so far from home, she also brought a gift for her mother, Bai Yue.

The happier Bai Xi is now, the angrier and more pained she will be later.

"For Mom, seeing us come back safe and sound is all she needs to do."

As Long Haochen spoke, another suggestion popped into his mind.

"But since you want to surprise Mom, let's sneak back. You help me hide our presence."

"I might just scare Mom by suddenly pushing the door open."

The brother and sister acted on their impulse, but they didn't expect it.

When the door was pushed open, it wasn't Bai Yue who was startled, but rather the two of them, who were quite angry at the scene inside.
