Her face displayed a complex and unreadable expression, tinged with an indescribable bitterness.
Nan Xunran noticed the subtle change in her eyes and calmly uttered a few words: "Jue is the manifestation of a supreme treasure."
Wei Yan was slightly stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, and subconsciously repeated, "A supreme treasure?"
Although I never saw the true form of this treasure in my previous life, I am certain that this treasure is definitely not a child.
A hint of confusion flashed in Wei Yan's eyes. She gently bit her lip, leaving faint marks on her soft lips with her pearly teeth.
At this moment, Jue quietly peeked out from behind Nan Xunran, like a cautious little squirrel, silently watching Wei Yan.
Wei Yan quickly noticed Jue's actions.
Her gaze fell on Jue, her eyes filled with focus as she carefully examined him, yet she still couldn't detect anything unusual.
The next moment, their eyes met.
Jue's figure changed drastically, and a faint glow appeared around her, like a thin veil fluttering.
In the blink of an eye, Jue transformed into a little girl, and her aura changed accordingly.
Her silky hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she clutched the hem of her skirt with one hand.
Wei Yan stared blankly at all of this, her mind a complete blank, unable to recover for a long time.
Jue's voice softened, like a gentle breeze brushing against her ear. "Sister, I am not human."
Looking at Jue's current appearance, Wei Yan had no more doubts and fully believed in Jue's identity.
She bent down and asked softly, "What's your name?"
Jue raised her chin and said in a clear voice, "My name is Jue."
Wei Yan's lips curled into a gentle smile as she softly said, "Alright, I understand."
Her gaze slid down and settled on Jue's hand, which was tightly gripping Nan Xunran's sleeve.
She stretched out her hand, her fingers twitching slightly, and said with a smile, "Would you like to come over here?"
Jue shook her head without hesitation, her face tense, and said firmly, "No."
Wei Yan's lips curled into a smile as she lowered her voice and coaxed, "Come here, I'll tell you a secret."
Jue's eyes lit up instantly, filled with curiosity, and she asked, "Really?"
Wei Yan nodded firmly. "Of course."
After hesitating for a moment, Jue finally let go of her hand, took small, quick steps, and ran to Wei Yan, looking up at her.
Wei Yan lowered her head, gently brushing the strands of hair behind her ear, her voice extremely low. "Sister is your father's woman, shouldn't you call me mother?"
Jue's eyes widened, and she tilted her head, thinking for a moment.
Then, with light, quick steps, she ran back to Nan Xunran's side.
Just as she was about to speak, a hint of panic flashed in Wei Yan's eyes, and she quickly covered Jue's mouth.
Then, she gently wrapped her arms around Jue and held her securely in her embrace.
Jue struggled fiercely in Wei Yan's arms, her little face flushed red, and she made "woof woof!" sounds.
Nan Xunran glanced sideways, her gaze sweeping over the two of them.
Wei Yan gave him a gentle smile.
Then, she lowered her head, her hair falling down, and whispered in Jue's ear, "This is a secret between us, don't tell A-Ran."
Jue still twisted her body unwillingly, her little face flushed, and made "woo-woo!" protesting sounds.
Wei Yan released her hand from Jue's mouth.
Jue immediately cried out, "No... Waaah!"
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Yan quickly covered her mouth again, coaxing her softly, "Sister will buy you some food."
Jue paused slightly, letting out a "whoosh!" sound, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Her eyes darted around, sparkling with thoughtful light.
Wei Yan carefully released her hand, staring intently at Jue, her fingers slightly curled.
Jue pondered for a moment, then pouted and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yan raised her hand, and a spiritual fruit appeared in her palm. She smiled and handed the fruit to Jue.
Jue reached out and took the spirit fruit, then lightly leaped down from Wei Yan's arms.
Then, a dazzling light emanated from Jue, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at her.
As the light gradually faded, Jue transformed back into a boy.
He turned around impatiently and skipped back to Nan Xunran's side.
He strained to stand on tiptoe, raised his hand high, and offered the spiritual fruit to Nan Xunran, saying loudly, "Father, please eat!"
Nan Xunran lowered her eyes and gently shook her head.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jue's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and she quickly regained her liveliness.
He muttered, "Oh, okay."
After saying that, he withdrew his hand and began to enjoy the spirit fruit.
His cheeks puffed out, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a satisfied expression.
Seeing his expression, Wei Yan reached out and gently patted his head.
Jue glanced at her, then moved a little closer to Nan Xunran.
He stood close to Nan Xunran, his little face full of contentment.
PS: Do you want to see Jue call him "father" or "brother"?
