Comparisons Are Enough to Drive a Person Mad!
In an instant, the falling snow rushed down, its roar like rolling thunder, making people's eardrums ache.
Upon seeing this, the elders' expressions tightened, and they quickly freed one hand.
As spiritual energy surged, an indestructible barrier rose from the ground, blocking the rolling snow waves.
The scene descended into utter chaos, with snowflakes swirling wildly, their figures appearing and disappearing amidst the chaos.
Amidst the chaos, Nan Xunran's calm voice rang out. "Stop."
The sound, though not loud, seemed to possess boundless power.
Upon hearing this, Nan Xiaoxiao stiffened abruptly and immediately became obedient.
She obediently lowered her waving hand and bowed her head.
Jue also stopped what he was doing, his lips pressed tightly together as he slowly withdrew the overflowing breath.
Seeing this, all the elders breathed a long sigh of relief and released their grip on the two people's hands.
They first looked at Nan Xiaoxiao, then turned to Jue, their faces showing a mixture of helplessness and amusement.
They couldn't stop them even if they tried, but their own divine son silenced them with just one sentence.
Nan Xiaoxiao dashed to Nan Xunran's Nan Xunran, clutching his clothes tightly with one hand, and called out, "Master."
Almost at the same moment, Jue also rushed to the other side like a gust of wind, blurting out the word "brother".
He also gripped Nan Xunran's clothes tightly, gazing intently at him.
Nan Xunran lowered her eyes, slowly raised her hand, and gently stroked the heads of the two of them.
Nan Xiaoxiao and Jue looked at each other and saw Nan Xunran's hand land on their heads at the same time; their reactions were exactly the same.
Nan Xiaoxiao pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and glared at Jue.
Jue frowned, gave a soft snort, and returned a provocative look.
Neither of them moved an inch; they simply stood there quietly.
Nan Xunran said calmly, "Get along well."
Upon hearing this, Nan Xiaoxiao's face immediately fell, and her little mouth pouted so high it looked like an oil bottle could hang from it.
She clutched her dress tightly and asked, "Why?"
The elders muttered to themselves, "Ancestor, you're still unwilling to play with someone else."
They were just making a fuss because they were bored, but now they're unhappy again.
Nan Xiaoxiao continued, "I want my master to play with me."
At this moment, Jue interjected, "Brother doesn't have that much time."
Nan Xiaoxiao surprisingly did not refute.
She lowered her head, and the dress in her hands became wrinkled and crumpled from her unconscious rubbing, completely losing its original shape.
She whispered, "I know."
The voice was very low, tinged with a hint of disappointment.
Jue stared at her for a moment, feeling a little sorry for her.
He pursed his lips, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Then, after a moment's hesitation, he suddenly touched Nan Xiaoxiao with his other hand.
Nan Xiaoxiao felt his touch and looked up at him in confusion.
In that instant, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from Jue's body.
The light was so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes, Nan Xiaoxiao instinctively covered her eyes with her hands.
A moment later, the light dissipated.
Jue transformed into a girl, with long, silky hair and delicate features.
Nan Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with disbelief, and her mouth was agape as if she could fit an egg in it.
She stared intently at Jue and exclaimed, "You can turn into a girl too!"
Jue nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with smugness.
Nan Xiaoxiao's attention was completely drawn in, and she eagerly asked, "Then can you transform into a beast?"
Jue shook her head decisively, "No."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Nan Xiaoxiao's face, and she said softly, "Okay."
The elders looked on with satisfaction as they watched this scene.
They all thought to themselves, "This is how we start living in harmony."
At this moment, Nan Xunran's hand, which had been resting on Nan Xiaoxiao's head, twitched slightly, the movement so subtle it was almost imperceptible.
Nan Xiaoxiao immediately noticed this subtle movement.
She immediately raised her hand and firmly pressed Nan Xunran's hand onto her head, preventing it from moving even slightly.
"Master, don't go, play with me."
Nan Xiaoxiao's voice was pitiful, and her eyes were glistening with tears, making one feel an irresistible sympathy for her.
She tilted her head back and said again, "Just a little while..."
Nan Xunran paused briefly, then gave a soft "hmm".
Upon hearing this word, Nan Xiaoxiao's face immediately lit up with a bright smile.
Her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and the corners of her mouth turned up high, revealing her white teeth.
She happily grasped Nan Xunran's hand, swaying it excitedly from side to side, her body bouncing involuntarily.
The elders stood aside, their gazes fixed on Nan Xunran and the other person, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
Watching Nan Xiaoxiao's affectionate interactions with Nan Xunran, they couldn't help but feel a pang of envy, thinking: When will they ever have such a connection with exotic beasts as their own divine son?
Nan Xiaoxiao's attitude towards them was completely different from her attitude towards the Divine Child!
Why...
It really is true what they say: comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!
