He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Jiang Xuange paused, her voice lowering slightly, tinged with apology.

"This technique... I cannot undo it yet..."

Seeing Xu Yi's instantly disappointed round face, Jiang Xuange immediately reached out and ruffled his hair, comforting him.

"But I will definitely find a way to help you untie it later!"

Although she absolutely adored this soft, miniature version of Xu Yi, finding contentment in holding it every day, she also longed to be with the adult Xu Yi...

As she thought about it, a faint blush rose on Jiang Xuange's cheeks, and her ears turned a light red. Her fair skin was accentuated by the pink blush, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

She quickly composed herself and gently patted Xu Yi's head.

"My lord, do you still want to sleep? Are you hungry? Would you like me to get you something to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi sighed and then nodded slightly.

Since things have come to this, let's have a good meal first.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuange smiled gently, carefully put him down from her arms, and then turned to get the clothes that Su Qingluan had prepared for him in advance.

She picked up a small white long shirt, squatted down, and patiently helped Xu Yi put on the clothes and tie the belt.

Xu Yi felt a little embarrassed watching her bending over and busy herself for him, and shifted her body slightly.

"Hey... I'm not a real child anymore, don't be like that..."

But Jiang Xuange ignored his resistance and patiently helped him with his clothes.

After dressing, Jiang Xuange picked Xu Yi up again, and in a flash, they went from the palace to the imperial kitchen.

The imperial kitchen was brightly lit, with various ingredients neatly arranged and a faint aroma wafting through the air.

Jiang Xuange pulled Xu Yi up a little so he could see better, then lowered her head, leaned close to his ear, and whispered...

"What would you like to eat, Xu Yi? Take it back, and I'll make it for you myself."

Looking at the table full of ingredients, Xu Yi didn't particularly want to eat anything, so he casually said...

"Hmm...whatever."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuange gently pinched his cheek and said softly.

"Alright, then I'll cook for Xu Yi. In return, could Xu Yi grant me a small request?"

Xu Yi paused for a moment, looked at her, and although he was a little confused, he nodded.

"You said, as long as I can do it."

Jiang Xuange's eyes sparkled with hearts, her cheeks flushed, and her voice carried a hint of shyness.

"Could...could you kiss me a few times? Just a few times, please?"

Her eyes were full of expectation and longing as she looked at Xu Yi:

In this life, Xu Yi has never kissed her first...

Xu Yi curled his lip after hearing this, and couldn't help but think to himself:

Sure enough, Jiang Xuange and Su Qingluan are the same woman, both having a special fondness for miniature versions of themselves. Is this some kind of peculiar fetish?

Ugh......

He hesitated for a moment, looking at Jiang Xuange's expectant eyes, her pitiful yet yearning expression.

It was so hard to refuse that he raised his head and gently kissed Jiang Xuange's smooth cheek.

Jiang Xuange's body stiffened, her pupils dilated slightly, and her cheeks flushed even more.

Her gaze intensified, as if she wanted to melt Xu Yi into her arms, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.

"Want another kiss?"

Xu Yi felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and lowered his head.

Jiang Xuange nodded vigorously, her eyes practically overflowing with love, her voice tinged with urgency and shyness.

"Yes! And I want a kiss on the lips!"

As she spoke, she carefully lifted Xu Yi up a little higher, so that his little face was level with hers.

Then he leaned forward slightly, his nose almost touching Xu Yi's nose.

Xu Yi had no choice but to take a deep breath.

Jiang Xuange trembled, tightened her arms around Xu Yi, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.

"Hmm... I'll select the ingredients for you, Mr. Xu, and cook some of your favorite dishes."

......

In the morning, after Xu Yi finished eating the meal prepared by Jiang Xuange, she secretly led him into Su Qingwan's library.

The library has ten rows of bookshelves, filled with countless ancient books, numbering at least several thousand.

"There must be a solution in Su Qingluan's library. Let's search carefully."

Jiang Xuange whispered to Xu Yi, carrying him as they moved among the bookshelves, carefully browsing through the relevant ancient books.

Xu Yi nodded after hearing this and looked around.

The two searched for a long time, turning over countless bookshelves. Just when Xu Yi was about to lose patience, Jiang Xuange finally found the relevant record in a yellowed ancient book.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly carried Xu Yi to the window. Using the morning light, she gently turned the pages of her book and began to read silently.

"This technique is called the 'Rejuvenation Spell.' It uses one's innate spiritual power as a medium to temporarily or permanently fix the target's body and mind in a childlike state..."

"The solution requires three-hundred-year-old Moonflower Grass and Ice Crystal Dew, supplemented with one's own essence blood as a catalyst, and the recitation of the incantation to break the curse..."

She paused here, then continued.

"Moonflower Grass and Ice Crystal Dew grow in the extremely cold northern regions."

"The Blood Flower is found in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons in the southwestern region. All three of these items are rare and difficult to obtain..."

Xu Yi frowned after hearing this.

"So many rare items, and they're so widely distributed."

"By the time we gather all the materials, Su Qingluan should have finished her seclusion, right?"

Seeing him frown, Jiang Xuange reached out and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows, and said softly.

"Please don't frown, Mr. Xu. I have these things."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand, and three things popped out from it.

Moonflower grass is entirely silvery-white, emitting a faint moonlight, while the Ice Crystal Dew is contained in a transparent jade bottle, crystal clear.

The blood flower is as red as a raging fire, with blood seemingly flowing on its petals, emitting a strange fragrance.

Xu Yi's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the three items in front of him, and his little face was full of surprise.

"You really have everything? That's wonderful!"

He excitedly hugged Jiang Xuange's neck and kissed her on the cheek again.

"Jiang Xuange, once I recover, I will definitely repay you properly!"

Jiang Xuange felt the soft touch on her face, and her gaze began to turn strange as she stared at Xu Yi.

"Really? You're willing to grant me whatever I want?"

Xu Yi is currently immersed in the joy of the impending return to normalcy.

He didn't notice the strange look in her eyes, but simply stared at the three items and nodded emphatically.

"Of course."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuange smiled sweetly.

The obsession and infatuation in her eyes were concealed by gentleness as she put away the three materials and looked at Xu Yi.

"Then let's go back now. Once we're back in your palace, I'll perform a spell to break the curse and help you recover as quickly as possible."

As she spoke, she picked up Xu Yi, and in a flash, she disappeared from the spot.
