I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"I want to see him... and also, my blood relatives."

The young girl's answer remained as puzzling as ever.

Fu Xun then spoke up and offered what he thought was an explanation for her.

"Do you want to see the God in order to find your relatives?"

The old man stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

"Missing loved ones is a good thing, how could I possibly hinder it?"

"Hmm... Time is of the essence, so if you don't want to be a disciple, then so be it. It's just that I lack the face to invite the Divine Lord, so I can only write a letter and present it to the Divine Lord Temple. As for whether the Divine Lord will receive it... that depends on your luck, young friend."

"Thank you."

This time, the young girl sincerely thanked him.

"Haha. It's alright, it's alright."

The old man looked at the chessboard again and said to her, "If you are grateful to me, young friend, why not play a few more games with me?"

"Ah."

It was just a game of chess.

"Good, good. Playing chess is such a wonderful thing."

Seeing the young girl nod, the old man laughed heartily and couldn't wait to start playing chess with her.

Although he couldn't accept her as a disciple, he wanted to give her as much experience as possible so that such a talented person wouldn't just fade into obscurity.

Returning to the Eightfold Path

"Sister, is this really okay?"

"Hehe, of course no problem...slurp...I guarantee everyone will like Xiaobai like this."

Nian wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, hugged Axi, rubbed his little face against him, and chuckled foolishly.

"...That's enough, let him go."

Unable to bear it any longer, Xi frowned and reached out to pull her tail.

"No! Let me hug you a little longer!"

"I absolutely adore this kind of innocent-looking girl!"

Even with its tail caught, Nian was unwilling to let go of the young dragon it had acquired.

"Besides, you've all held Little White, but I haven't. Can't I even make up for it now? Xi, you're so mean!"

Nian's words made Xi even more unbearable.

She's only held little Ah Xi a few times!

“Ah Xi, come here to me, stay away from Nian.”

"No! Little White wants to stay with her sister."

"Ah Xi!"

"noob!"

"Waaah..."

All around her were heated arguments and struggles. Bai Zhou kept her face stiff as they pulled her around.

I wish it hadn't turned out like this...

The struggle between the two also reminded Bai Zhou of memories that had long been buried in the past.

It seems that everyone... enjoys petting him in his childhood...

Whether it's his second uncle, his elder brother, Mr. Miaobi, his sword-fighting master, or even his twelfth brother, they all like to rub his face and ruffle his hair whenever they see him.

Bai Zhou was very puzzled.

Was he this fragrant when he was a child?

【Yes! yes! yes! yes! 】

For some reason, even the usually silent system became active and excited.

"..."

"Hmph, you stinky Xi, you don't respect your sister at all now."

"Same here. Doesn't someone who is an older sister also refuse to think about their younger sister?"

Even so, I will not give Xiaobai to you.

"Who asked you to give way? I am the one Ah Xi chose."

"...Xi, you're despicable right now!"

The battle between the two ended with Xi using her tail to catch the young dragon who willingly took the bait, while Nian was defeated in resentment.

"My tail is great too. It's plump and soft..."

Yearling, unwilling to give up, grabbed its own tail and offered it to the young dragon, but the young dragon seemed to be mesmerized by the soft, white tail and remained motionless in front of Yearling's tail swaying back and forth.

"...Waaah...My little brother doesn't like his older sister anymore, I'm so sad."

The year, devastated by the blow, went to catch the tail of the day to play.

"..."

Xi sighed softly, seemingly saddened by the possibility of sisters fighting each other.

Then, she proudly rubbed the baby dragon's head in her arms and hugged him tightly.

After staying a while longer, it was time to go to the party, so the two reluctantly let go of Youlong and prepared to take him out.

"I feel like I made a wrong decision."

Before leaving, Nian looked at the baby dragon, who looked like a porcelain doll, and thought about her almost crazy behavior just now. She couldn't help but worry about the party that was coming up.

Do you think everyone is like you?

Xi wasn't too worried.

She felt that the reason the two of them were so emotional was simply because they had never had it or had not been satisfied with it.

The others, those who were familiar with the dragon had held it countless times, and those who weren't familiar with it would just laugh it off; there would be no chance of the same silly scene from before.

So there's no need to worry.

Xi glanced at Nian, pondering how to throw her out to liven up the atmosphere and have... no, to take Axi to a quiet place to be alone.

"Hmm... let's take it one step at a time."

Nian smiled and glanced at Xi, pondering how to take advantage of the chaos and keep the little fool firmly under her control while stirring up the crowd's emotions.

The two had their own agendas, but outwardly they acted like sisters, subtly pulling the baby dragon towards each other while simultaneously pushing it towards their own side.

"..."

Bai Zhou maintained a smile while observing the two's subtle actions, but secretly found it amusing.

It's rare to see the two of them so enthusiastic at home, but this time it unexpectedly livened them up.

In the future, could we also make them look younger and happier more often?

Because the daytime has turned into a juvenile state, the task of driving can only be left to the only one among the sisters who has a driver's license.

"Damn it, I never thought we'd lose here."

Seeing Xi smugly sitting in the back with the baby dragon, Nian glared resentfully at the driver's license in her hand and went to drive in a bad mood.

"Drive slowly, New Year. I don't want to end up in jail early in the year."

Although the words were meant to be caring, for some reason, Nian always felt that his younger sister was subtly mocking him.

"Don't worry, I will never let you down."

He made a harsh statement, then slowly started the car.

Surprisingly, the car was driven very steadily, without any sharp turns that caused the young dragon to fall into Xi's arms or turn over.

"Sister, you're really good at driving!"

As soon as Bai Zhou praised Nian's driving skills, the other party proudly raised his head.

"That's right, after all, I'm a three-time champion in the Dragon Gate racing scene. That little girl Wen Yue is always four or five seconds behind me."

"Xiaobai, you must go watch the game next time you have the chance. Ah, it would be best if you rode in my car and experienced firsthand what the value of a triple crown really means."

"Stop speeding. Let's go."

Xi led Youlong out of the car and urged Nian to hurry up.

She could already smell the stench of ink emanating from that guy just by standing at the door.

"Okay. Let me lock the car."

The year passed, and the key was carefully put away, while the young dragon was held by the other hand.

"..."

Seeing that she had finished, Xi led Bai Zhou toward the guesthouse next to Guanyu.

Even though it was just after the New Year, people kept coming to the Shenjun Temple to pay their respects and pray for blessings. The bustling place was not suitable for large gatherings, so the meeting place was moved elsewhere.

"Hey, let's see who's still missing!"

Pushing open the door, Nian laughed and shouted to everyone inside.

"It's so annoying, Ninth Brother."

The immortal wielding the sword uttered a soft rebuke, but his attention was then drawn to the young dragon that followed Nian into the house.

"Ah... Ah Xi?"

The immortal holding the sword frowned in astonishment as he examined the object closely.

"Am I seeing things? How could I possibly see Ah Xi?"
