Rong Lan tilted her head and rested it on his shoulder. She yawned again, and physiological tears welled up in her eyes. "You've worked hard, brother."
"Once we get back to the hotel, how about giving me a reward, Lan Lan?" Chu Hengyuan tilted his head slightly, his tone gentle.
"What kind of reward?"
"Give me an active kiss."
"Okay!" Rong Lan agreed without hesitation. After all, she had kissed him before.
Facts proved that Chu Hengyuan didn't even have the chance to put Rong Lan down, because after he had only walked a short distance, the girl on his back had fallen asleep.
He could tell that she was sleepy, but he didn't expect her to fall asleep so quickly. Fortunately, the sleeping little girl was very well - behaved. Her head leaned against his shoulder, and her hands wrapped around his neck. She didn't move around.
And the little fox, who had fallen asleep instantly and was sleeping soundly, met her aunt.
"Aunt!" The excited Rong Lan didn't even bother to distinguish whether it was a dream or reality. She rushed towards her aunt and wrapped her arm around the beautiful and voluptuous woman.
Daji gently tapped the little fox on the forehead. "Where have you been lately? Why haven't you come to play with me for so long?"
Rong Lan rubbed against her aunt's arm and acted coquettishly. "I've gone to find a husband for myself. Now I've found one. When I find a chance to go home, I'll bring my husband to meet you, aunt."
Daji squinted her fox eyes. "A husband? Is it the emperor?"
"No. Although he's not the emperor, he's the one I like, and he's very good - looking. Aunt will definitely like him when you see him!" Rong Lan said with absolute certainty.
"Oh? Then I'll have to take a good look. I wonder how good - looking he is to make you like him."
Rong Lan continued to act coquettishly. "Aunt, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"What's the question? Go ahead."
"I had a little accident when I was crossing the thunder tribulation. Thanks to a noble person's help, I managed to pick up my life. I promised the noble person to fulfill three wishes for her, but I don't want to do one of them. What should I do?" She had promised to fulfill the three wishes of the ghost Bai Rong Lan. She had already fulfilled one, and another was almost done, but the remaining one...
She understood why the ghost Bai Rong Lan wanted all the members of the Bai family to be ruined, and she also understood why the ghost Bai Rong Lan wanted to take revenge on Bai Rong Ran. In the previous life, due to various reasons, the Bai family had indeed treated Bai Rong Lan badly.
But now it was she who was experiencing this life. Bai Rong Ran had been set right by her. She believed that they could get along well in the future. And whether it was Father Bai or Mother Bai, they had treated her well. She could feel their love. In their perception, the matter of exchanging the children was planned by the relatives who were related to her by blood. In this situation, the fact that they didn't take their anger out on her proved that they couldn't bear to part with her.
She couldn't bear to ruin the Bai family.
"Why don't you want to fulfill that wish?" Daji asked.
Rong Lan didn't hesitate. "It goes against my own will."
Daji tapped the little fox on the forehead again, hating that iron couldn't be made into steel. "Then why don't you go and have a good talk with your noble person? If you really can't find her, just follow your own will. Your father, mother and I have always taught you that living happily is the most important thing. If fulfilling that thing for your noble person will make you unhappy, then don't do it. At worst, be a villain who breaks one's promise."
Rong Lan pretended to be hurt by the tap. She raised her hand to rub her forehead and pouted her lips aggrievedly. "What if... I can't go home if I don't fulfill the noble person's wish?"
Her cultivation was gradually recovering. The more her cultivation recovered, the more she realized that the three wishes of the ghost Bai Rong Lan were very important. Her intuition told her that as long as she fulfilled those three wishes for Bai Rong Lan, she could find a way to go home.
She could be a villain who broke her promise, but she wanted to go home.
"Have you lost your mind because of falling in love, you naughty child?" Daji said angrily. "Although I don't know where you've run off to, since I can find you in a dream, I'll surely be able to find you in reality. Even if my cultivation is really not high enough to find you, there are still your father, mother, brother and so many elders in the clan. With so many of us joining hands, even if you're blown to ashes, we can still bring your soul back."
"Rong Lan, you should remember that you're a fox with a backer."
"I was just afraid of bothering everyone." Rong Lan murmured softly.
Daji rolled her eyes. "Why weren't you afraid of bothering me when you ran away from home before? Kids really become less and less reliant on their family as they grow up."
Rong Lan stuck out her tongue guiltily. "I know I was wrong."
She had thought that her family wouldn't be able to find her after she came to this world. Now it seemed that she had thought too much.
"By the way, have you made a new friend?" Daji rubbed the little head of the delicate little fox.
"Yes, yes!" Rong Lan's eyes suddenly lit up. "I've made a super - powerful friend. He's a dragon that only exists in legends!"
"No wonder..." No wonder the little fox had such an air of nobility. It turned out that she had made such a powerful friend. "When you're away from home, if you really can't get in touch with your family, you can also rely on your friends appropriately. Don't be so stubborn."
"Okay." She already relied on Si Mo quite a lot. If it weren't for Si Mo, her fortune - telling studio might not have been able to survive.
"I have one more thing to tell you, and then I have to go." Daji complained. "I don't know which corner of the world you've run to. It takes a lot of spiritual energy for me to find you and say a few words to you."
"What else does aunt want to tell me?" Rong Lan hugged Daji's arm tightly, her eyes full of reluctance.
She had finally met her aunt, but she hadn't even had the chance to complain to her aunt yet.
Daji gently tapped the little fox on the forehead again with her finger. "Be careful of your younger sister Zhizhi."
Hearing this name, a trace of uneasiness flashed in Rong Lan's eyes. "Huh? Why should I be careful of her?"
"Because when I couldn't find you, I thought you might be with her. If I found her, I might be able to find you. But strangely enough, I couldn't find her either. So she, like you, has disappeared somewhere. That little girl's mind has become more and more unrighteous in recent decades. I'm worried that she might hurt you." Daji said calmly.
Disappeared somewhere? Rong Lan lowered her eyes. She had a bad premonition in her heart.
Could that troublemaker have come to the world she was in now?
"Alright, just pay attention to your own safety. That's it for now. I have to go back. If you need anything, find a way to contact me. If you want to go home, you can also contact me. Your father, mother, brother and I will come and pick you up together."
Finally, Daji's hand gently stroked the little fox's head. Her tone was gentle, and her eyes were soft.
