Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1966: Chapter 1962: That Winter... Was So Cold (First Update)

Yue Ji remained silent for a long time, finally letting out a faint sigh, "Is it worth it?"

Yue Sha glanced at his senior brother, then chuckled lightly, "Senior Brother, this doesn’t sound like something you’d say. Haven’t you always believed in the notion of ’Originally without a thing, how can dust be attracted’? Why are you so concerned this time?"

Yue Ji glared, "Nonsense, you’re my close junior brother, of course, I have to worry for you!"

Yue Sha smiled faintly, then lifted his gaze towards the distance where Xiao Yingluo was playing with Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian, his eyes gradually deepening.

"Whether it’s worth it or not doesn’t matter. From the moment I made this decision and took action, I had already considered all the consequences and was willing to bear them."

Seeing the indifferent expression on his junior brother’s face, Yue Ji wanted to speak but stopped, finally letting out a light sigh.

"Do you know that with your talent, if you were brave and made progress without letting your meditative mind fall, you could definitely attain Dao Fruit, or even the Heaven Cloud level would be within reach. But instead, you’ve thrown away your future for some past-life attachment. I truly feel regret for you!"

Yue Sha laughed, "If I remember correctly, this should be the first time you’ve praised me. Back when we were studying under Master, you used to call me stupid all the time."

Yue Ji also laughed, his smile carrying a touch of nostalgia.

"Yes, back then you were indeed unbelievably stupid. You took ages to memorize a simple Great Treasury Sutra. Even Master thought your achievements would be limited, but who could have guessed that later on, you seemed to suddenly become enlightened, your cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and you ultimately became the one to inherit Master’s teachings."

Yue Sha laughed heartily, "Actually, back then, I didn’t find it difficult to memorize. I just thought these scriptures were too dull and boring!"

"What about later?"

"Later, I discovered that through diligent practice, I could actually see many things from past lives, so I began to study seriously!"

Yue Ji suddenly stopped speaking.

Because the meaning behind his junior brother’s words was very clear; from the beginning, his purpose in studying Buddhism was to unlock his past-life memories.

This left him speechless, until much later, he could only manage a wry smile, "What do you plan to do next? Are you just going to keep this little girl by your side?"

Yue Sha shook his head, a deep fatigue suddenly appearing in his eyes, "I haven’t figured it out yet, but one thing is certain."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Yue Sha’s face, "I must wait for Xue An to come out of seclusion, meet this old friend I haven’t seen in years first, and then talk about other matters!"

Hearing this, Yue Ji’s attention was also drawn to the distant golden light.

"Yes! I wonder when the Sect Hierarch will be able to come out of seclusion!"

"It shouldn’t be long. I can feel that within that golden light, his aura is gradually strengthening!" Yue Sha said softly.

"Let’s hope so!"

The turmoil temporarily subsided, and everything returned to tranquility, quickly ten more days passed.

During these ten days, everyone’s hearts became a little less calm.

Even the most oblivious could feel that within the golden light, an aura was gestating.

This aura is so powerful, that even the faintest trace of it is vast like the Starry Sea, making people feel the urge to worship.

In this environment, Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian were nonetheless very happy, for they had made a new friend.

Compared to Chapter Xiao Yu’s naive cuteness and Xiao Sha’s domineering nature, this Xiao Yingluo was the two girls’ favorite playmate.

And because of her special background, Xiao Yingluo never really had friends or playmates, so the three of them hit it off immediately, sticking together all the time and playing to their hearts’ content.

Today was naturally no exception,

The three played for most of the day, and only after they were tired did they gather together and start gossiping about girls’ secrets.

Suddenly, Nian Nian asked curiously, "Ying Lou, who is that Yue Sha to you?"

Ying Lou giggled, "He’s my uncle, of course!"

"Uncle? Is it that simple?" Xiang Xiang clearly didn’t believe it.

"What else?"

"Hee hee, I thought you were his child bride!"

"Oh, you dare make fun of me, take this!"

With that, Ying Lou reached out to tickle her.

Xiang Xiang couldn’t stand it at all, after a few rounds she surrendered, laughing so hard she could barely breathe, begging for mercy.

"Okay Ying Lou, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I won’t say it again!"

"Hmph, that’s more like it!" Ying Lou was satisfied and let go.

Xiang Xiang lay on the ground for a while before sitting up, with a face full of curiosity, she asked, "So how did you two meet?"

"Hee hee, it’s a long story," Ying Lou said, sitting casually on the ground, "To put it in one sentence, I was picked up by my uncle."

"Picked up? Were you an abandoned baby?" Nian Nian said tensely.

This comment was perfectly the last straw for Ying Lou.

Ying Lou couldn’t help but pinch Nian Nian’s cheek, "Silly Nian Nian, don’t talk nonsense. How could I be an abandoned baby? I was already five years old back then, okay?"

Nian Nian nodded thoughtfully, then added, "So, a five-year-old abandoned baby?"

Ying Lou: "..."

"Can we not talk about abandoned babies?"

"Okay!"

"I think I was four at the time. Because of some things I couldn’t understand myself, my family saw me as an omen of bad luck, and then threw me into the deep mountains."

At this, a dim expression crossed Ying Lou’s face.

The two little girls tightly shut their mouths, watching her with eyes full of sympathy.

But soon, Ying Lou bounced back, speaking lightly, "Hee hee, at the time they thought I would surely die in the mountains, but who would have thought, I managed to survive, and not just survive, but do quite well!"

As she said this, Ying Lou wore a proud expression, "Have you ever tasted wild mountain pears in autumn?"

The two little girls shook their heads in unison.

"I have. Tsk tsk, the taste... so sweet and juicy, incredibly delicious! And the black honey, yellow essence fruits, I even found a clumsy mountain goat that ran into a rock and died because it couldn’t see the way."

"The goat was really big. I couldn’t move it by myself. But I was clever, I used small stones to cut off the meat bit by bit, dipped it in honey to eat! I managed to eat a whole leg of goat by myself, isn’t that amazing?"

Ying Lou said with a giggle.

The two little girls were too stunned to speak, just nodding reflexively.

But at this moment, Ying Lou turned her head away, not wanting the two little girls to see the tears in her eyes.

"Later, the weather gradually turned cold, and overnight, the mountain was sealed with snow, I could only hide in a rock cave and couldn’t go anywhere!"

"That winter... it was really cold!"

Ying Lou’s body began to tremble slightly, "I didn’t dare to sleep, afraid that if I fell asleep, I would never wake up again. So I started telling myself stories, the scarier, the better. That way, I scared myself into staying awake, was I not a genius?"

Amidst her laughter, Ying Lou didn’t turn around, for by then, she was already in tears.
