Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Acting as Both Senior Brother and Father

From a single orchid, it could be seen that even in this world, Yue Qingqing need not be envied by the Heavenly Dao.

But in Yan Sinian’s heart, she was still that frail little junior sister from the beginning.

He still remembered the day Master brought Yue Qingqing back.

It was in the midst of a heavy snowfall, with several humanoid creatures lying on the ground covered with snow.

They were mutually hostile, with gloomy expressions on their faces.

The unreliable old man pretended not to see, merely tossing a swaddling babe to the few youths who had fought until their noses were bruised and faces swollen.

"From now on, she is your junior sister. Take good care of her," he said.

After speaking, he went off to pilfer someone’s wine, leaving the infant—tiny as a kitten—with them.

The boys lacked any experience in caring for others, so they could only pretend to be ordinary people and slowly inquire in the villages outside, all without attracting attention.

The little junior sister was picky, and could only drink cow’s and goat’s milk after it had been boiled to remove the smell.

Her frail body always made them suppress all their Spiritual Energy, cautiously and gingerly nurturing her.

With a junior sister to care for, the boys who had been at odds with each other stopped fighting, focusing entirely on taking care of the baby.

Every day, they would argue over who got to hold her more and who less.

The Gong boy talked the most, annoying Yan Qiying so much he wished he could cleave him in two with his sword.

But as soon as the junior sister smacked her lips, everyone dared not speak another word, cautiously afraid of waking her up.

The name Qingqing was chosen after they argued endlessly and the old man happened to come back and casually glanced at the sky.

He said her family name was Yue, so she was named Yue Qingqing.

The name was too casual, which infuriated the senior brothers, but they couldn’t beat the old man in a fight.

They reluctantly united for the first time, planning to give her a new name when she grew up.

But later, whenever they called "Qingqing," the junior sister would smile with her toothless mouth, so adorable that they couldn’t look away.

And so the name stuck.

Therefore, even though none of the men had the experience of marrying and having children, Qingqing was almost like their own daughter.

The depth of their feelings can be imagined.

"Senior brother?"

Qingqing tugged at Yan Sinian’s sleeve, pulling his thoughts back to the present.

Yan Sinian put the Grass Ring on Yue Qingqing’s wrist and then handed her the Taotie Tooth.

"Want to try it?"

Because their Spiritual Energy was the same in origin, Yue Qingqing did not need to offer blood but instead merged her Spiritual Energy into it.

Yan Sinian was skilled with his hands, and the Grass Ring was woven neatly and delicately, resembling a piece of art.

The Taotie Tooth was also hung on the Grass Ring by Yue Qingqing.

As soon as Spiritual Energy merged into it, Yue Qingqing immediately felt the pleasurably satisfying sensation of a fish in a vast sea.

The Grass Ring was one thing, but the Taotie Tooth, somehow, made Yue Qingqing feel a sense of heart-to-heart connection, as if it was a Magic Artifact that had been separated from her for many years.

Magic Artifacts and cultivators also have natural affinities; some Magic Artifacts, though powerful, can hardly exert their full strength in the hands of cultivators with incompatible energies.

But if one encounters the right Magic Artifact, it’s like talent meeting the right opportunity, and its power increases manifold.

Once, a female cultivator in the Cultivation World became a powerful entity with a life-bound magic treasure that was a discarded and damaged Fire Plume Fan.

Seeing the way the junior sister’s eyes widened, Yan Sinian couldn’t help but let his lips curl into a smile.

"I guessed before that this Taotie Tooth would suit you."

Yue Qingqing felt that was hardly a compliment and immediately puffed up like a pufferfish in annoyance.

"Are you mocking me for resembling a Taotie, senior brother?"

A Taotie is a legendary Ferocious Beast whose most notable trait is its voracious appetite...

Yan Sinian hurried to smooth things over, "Of course not, I just think that although the tooth is from a Taotie, the little sharp angle is quite cute and matches your temperament."

Yue Qingqing wasn’t one to hold onto anger, so with a couple of humphs, she let it go.

"Senior brother, I also have something for you," Yue Qingqing took out the Jade Token, "Although it’s not very valuable, but still..."

It had emptied half of her little treasury.

Yan Sinian accepted it, feeling as proud as a father seeing his daughter grow up to be thoughtful.

"Not bad, I will cherish it," he immediately wore it around his neck.

Thinking that out of the four senior brothers, only he wore an item given by the junior sister, his joy instantly quadrupled.

Until...

"Oh, when I gave Jiang Jingze the Safety Pendant, something strange happened."

Yue Qingqing stopped mid-sentence, cautiously observing Yan Sinian.

Why had senior brother’s face suddenly darkened?
