Chapter 4824: Cry
But a woman like the one before them, who seemed to embody the essence of heaven and earth, was something they had never witnessed. Not only was she breathtakingly beautiful, but her demeanor was also extraordinary, especially when accentuated by her red robe, making it impossible to look away.
There were countless beauties in the world, each possessing her own unique charm. Even those who had seen many beautiful women in the cultivation realm had to admit that this red-clad woman’s beauty surpassed all others. She was like a full moon in the sky, and even the most dazzling lights around her could only shine like stars in comparison.
Feng Jiu noticed everyone staring at her, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly, and the smile on her lips faded. She glanced at the chubby, cute little girl and offered her a small smile, then turned and departed. Seeing the little girl, she couldn’t help but think of her own daughter, Yue’er, who was just as adorable! It had been so long since she had seen them. She wondered if they were getting used to living with the Azure Emperor and how much taller they had grown.
She yearned to go see them, but she suppressed the thought as soon as it arose. Now was not the time. As she pondered, she continued walking, but after a short while, she suddenly stopped and looked at the little girl who was following her. The little girl also stopped and gazed up at her with her chubby little face.
“Little girl, why are you following me?” Feng Jiu asked, raising her eyebrows.
“Hehe, sister, you’re so pretty. It’s the first time Xin’er has met someone as pretty as you,” she said with a sweet smile, her round little face lighting up with two adorable dimples.
Before Feng Jiu could respond, the little girl took another small step closer, almost pressing herself against her. Feng Jiu observed her, raising her eyebrows, but remained silent, waiting to see what the child wanted.
“My Grandfather said that if you’re close to ink, you’ll turn black, and if you’re close to vermilion, you’ll turn red. So if I stay close to you, will I become as beautiful as you?”
Her soft and innocent words made Feng Jiu smile. What kind of family was the Shu family? How could they raise such a strange and cute little girl?
Feng Jiu smiled, squatted down, and said, “I’m old enough to be your mother, so you can’t call me sister. You can call me aunty. Also, even if you follow me and stay close to me, you won’t become like me. But you’re already very good just the way you are. You’re very cute and very lucky.”
She reached out and gently pinched the little girl’s chubby cheeks, smiling softly, “You’re still young. When you grow up, you’ll slowly blossom and become even more beautiful.”
The little girl rolled her eyes and looked down at the hand that was pinching her cheeks. She blinked and asked, “Then, beautiful aunty, when I grow up, will I become just like you?”
“No, you won’t.” Feng Jiu smiled lightly, rubbed her little face, and said, “People usually look like their parents.” Little did she know that as soon as she said this, the little girl’s eyes widened, and in the next moment, she pursed her lips and actually tilted her head back and started crying.
“Wah! Boo-hoo… I don’t want to, I don’t want to be like my father… Boo-hoo… I don’t want to…”
Feng Jiu was taken aback and quickly said, “Hey, don’t cry!” What was going on? How did she make the little girl cry? She hadn’t done anything!
