Chapter 4755: Do You Like It?
The Azure Emperor glanced at her, a gentle smile gracing his lips. “It’s very beautiful. I like it very much,” he said softly.
“Great! I knew you would like it, Master!” She clapped her hands happily and cheered. Without waiting for him to speak further, she turned and ran back the way she ca, shouting, “Master, I’m going to play with my brother. We’re going to wait for Big Brother to co back at the foot of the mountain!”
Watching the little girl skip away, the Azure Emperor finally withdrew his gaze and looked at the black jade hairpin in his hand. He took the white jade hairpin from his own hair and held the two hairpins, one black and one white, side by side. He shook his head and smiled indulgently, his low voice a re whisper. “This girl, she always gives the sa gifts.”
Thinking of his disciple who had endured so much and now returned to his side, growing up in the sa way, a profound joy filled his heart. This ti, no matter what, he vowed to protect her, ensuring she would never be hurt again, let alone suffer the pain of reincarnation.
At the foot of the mountain, Muchen and Yue’er sat on the steps. Yue’er humd a little tune as she gazed at the winding mountain road. “Brother,” she said, “should we send soone to ask where Big Brother is? Why isn’t he back yet?”
“I asked him when you went to find Master just now,” Muchen replied, idly playing with a piece of wood. “He said he was delayed by sothing, but he’s already on his way back here. He probably won’t make it today, and it’ll take at least two or three days at the earliest.” He then asked, “Little sister, did he like the gift you gave him?”
“Mm-hmm, Master said the hairpin is very pretty and he likes it very much!” Yue’er said with a wide smile, clearly very happy that her gift had been well-received.
“How did you think of giving him a hairpin?” Muchen inquired.
“Because Master has everything!” she explained with a happy smile. “I didn’t know what else to give him. dicinal pills are consud and then gone, and Master definitely has more treasures than we do. I noticed that Master only had that white jade hairpin on his head, and he had been wearing it for so long without changing it, so I thought, ‘Does Master not have any other hairpins?’ Since he already has a white jade one, I bought him a black jade hairpin.” Her little face glowed with satisfaction. “Now my master will have two hairpins and can switch between them.”
The brother and sister chatted there until darkness fell, then they walked back to their cave abode.
A few days later, Hao’er finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. His injuries had forced him to slow his journey, but he still managed to return within the month. As soon as he reached the mountain base, he saw his younger brother and sister waiting for him.
“Big Brother!”
“Big Brother!”
The two shouted, quickly rushing to his side. However, as they drew closer, they imdiately noticed that he looked considerably worse than usual; his face was notably pale.
“Big Brother, are you okay? Why do you look so bad? Are you too tired?” Yue’er asked, coming right up to him and looking him up and down. Upon closer inspection, her little face was filled with worry.
“Big Brother, are you hurt? Are you seriously injured? I can sll blood on you. Where are you hurt? Have you applied dicine?” Yue’er questioned anxiously, her voice a flurry of concern.
“Big Brother, here,” Muchen said, ever more direct. He quickly took a nourishing dicine from his spatial ring and handed it to Hao’er.
Seeing their genuine concern, Hao’er managed a weak smile.
