Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, Old Lady Ji’s heart tightened.
The rest of the Ji Family was filled with confusion.
"What big brother surrounded by a giant golden snake? Did Suisui co across soone from Nanjiang?" Huo Xing’Er anxiously asked.
Nanjiang was a mystical and perilous place, where snake breeding and catching were essential survival skills for almost sixty percent of its inhabitants.
"No!" Old Lady Ji gestured. "She’s referring to that man, the one we just t in the stairwell. This little darling rely glanced at him twice and discovered that he had a Golden Dragon protecting him."
"What?" everyone gasped in astonishnt.
Ji Youran, who was all wrapped in bandages, couldn’t help but laugh aloud. "HA HA HA! The little girl actually possesses this kind of talent!"
Good heavens! He had initially given up on luring her to the dicine King Residence, but now he’d unexpectedly discovered another of her talents. It seed he absolutely had to get this girl, one way or another.
"How is this possible?" Huo Xing’Er was utterly disbelieving.
She quickly peeked out through a slight gap in the door and, sure enough, spotted a young man in his twenties surrounded by a crowd, who were speaking in hushed tones.
She promptly pressed her index and middle fingers together, lightly wiped them across her eyes, then gazed at the young man.
Imdiately, she was taken aback. Indeed, Dragon Qi protected him; he had to be an Emperor of the mortal realm. The little girl could actually spot it with just one look.
Huo Xing’Er quickly shut the door, pressing her body against it, her hand on her chest. "His Majesty is really here!"
"Second Sister-in-law, did you also see the Dragon Qi protecting him?" asked Ji Youzhi.
Huo Xing’Er nodded, her gaze landing on the little girl in Old Lady Ji’s arms. "Mother! Since last night up until now, have you and Elder Sister-in-law been with Suisui all the ti?"
Old Lady Ji and Wang Dongxue nodded in unison. "Yes, what’s wrong?"
"Did anything strange happen to her?"
"Strange events?" Old Lady Ji and Wang Dongxue exchanged a glance, suddenly recalling the three bolts of Celestial Thunder that struck Ji Youran that morning.
"This morning, Second Eldest was refining an Elixir in the backyard. Xiaosuisui ddled for a bit, and then Second Eldest was struck by lightning. The Elixir then transford into a treasure of heaven and earth. Does that count?" Old Lady Ji said, then imdiately contradicted herself. "But this strange event didn’t exactly happen to the little girl! It was Second Eldest who was struck by lightning!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xing’Er didn’t say anything; she rely started her finger calculations.
In an instant, her expression beca a mixture of awe and understanding, and she even cast a sympathetic gaze at the white-swathed Ji Youran.
"What’s the result?" The Ji Family mbers eagerly inquired as soon as she finished her calculations.
Huo Xing’Er swallowed hard, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably. Finally, after a long mont, she said, "This morning, by sheer coincidence, the little girl opened her Heavenly Eyes. Those bolts of lightning were likely drawn down because she opened her Heavenly Eyes. For so reason, they struck her Second Uncle instead."
Ji Youzhi’s mind was a whirl of curses. This is possible too?
Ji Youran’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted dead away from sheer exasperation. How utterly unlucky could he be to encounter such a bizarre misfortune?
Wang Dongxue covered her mouth in disbelief; it was all too incredible.
Old Lady Ji planted a kiss on Xiaosuisui’s cheek. "Grandma’s little darling is so amazing! To think her Heavenly Eyes opened at such a young age and she isn’t even aware of it. She’s truly a heaven-sent prodigy; she’ll surely surpass all these uncles of hers in the future!"
Hearing this, Ji Youlin rolled his eyes and retorted sarcastically to Old Lady Ji, "Mother! Is it really such a big deal that she opened her Heavenly Eyes? What’s so impressive about that? As a re little girl, can her future achievents really surpass ours? You mustn’t carelessly fill a child’s head with such nonsense. Be careful, or she might grow up arrogant, thinking she’s inherently superior, and end up causing trouble and suffering for it!"
