At this moment, Jue stood quietly to the side.
He closed his eyes tightly, his lips trembled slightly, and he whispered a sentence.
The sound was ethereal, drifting leisurely through the air.
A moment later, Jue opened her eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in them before disappearing.
The next moment, the ice and snow on the mountain began to recombine and freeze again.
The broken ice blocks gradually returned to normal, and snowflakes drifted down, covering the mountainside once more.
The mountain gradually returned to its original appearance.
The outline became even clearer under the white snow, as if time had reversed, and everything was restored to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Nan Xiaoxiao abruptly stopped what she was doing.
She stared intently at everything before her, now restored to its former state, then turned her gaze to Jue and exclaimed excitedly, "You're amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Jue's face instantly lit up with a smug expression, and he snorted a few times.
Nan Xiaoxiao only offered a compliment before quickly turning her gaze back to Nan Xunran.
Jue didn't take Nan Xiaoxiao's reaction to heart.
He turned to look at Nan Xunran, his eyes filled with anticipation, and asked, "Brother, can I come to see you sometime?"
The moment Jue asked that question, Nan Xiaoxiao instantly perked up.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she abruptly raised her hand, which had been hanging by her side, waving it in the air to signal Jue to come over.
Jue was puzzled, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.
He tilted his head and took a few steps closer to Nan Xiaoxiao.
The two gradually drew closer, huddled together with their heads down, and lowered their voices to a whisper.
Nan Xiaoxiao turned her head to the side, her eyes shining like stars, and whispered, "Master won't restrict your freedom."
Upon hearing this, Jue looked puzzled and asked, "Then why are you making a scene?"
Nan Xiaoxiao pouted, her voice tinged with melancholy. "Because the master isn't often around, you won't be able to see him even if you go."
Jue recalled her inexplicably excited appearance just now and became even more confused, "Then what are you so excited about?"
A sly glint flashed in Nan Xiaoxiao's eyes.
She leaned closer to Jue and said mysteriously, "Because now, I'm not the only one who wants to see my master but can't."
Jue was speechless for a moment. "..."
A bright smile bloomed on Nan Xiaoxiao's face.
She tilted her head, her eyes sparkling, and deliberately drew out the last syllable. "So, let's get along well, brother-brother-"
After speaking, she pursed her lips and pondered silently.
If He and Jue continue to argue like this, what if the master becomes unhappy? That would be absolutely unacceptable.
Upon hearing Nan Xiaoxiao's words, Jue first pointed to herself, then to Nan Xiaoxiao, and said earnestly, "I'm younger than you."
Nan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes.
With her hands on her hips, she raised her voice and said angrily, "I've lived for hundreds of years, I know very well how long it takes for a creature to develop sentience."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Jue looked away and muttered softly, "... I'm just smaller than you."
Nan Xiaoxiao raised her chin high and said smugly, "Anyway, you're older than me."
Jue sighed helplessly, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out a few words: "... Fine, sis-sis-"
Nan Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, "Brother-Brother-"
The elders looked at Nan Xiaoxiao and Jue with smiles, their faces filled with satisfaction.
Their eyes were full of love, and one of them stroked his beard, nodding repeatedly.
They both thought to themselves: These two children get along so well; they've become so familiar with each other in such a short time.
Nan Xunran gazed quietly at Nan Xiaoxiao and the other person, his figure tall and slender.
His face remained completely expressionless, making it impossible to tell whether he had noticed anything amiss.
Nan Xiaoxiao and Jue both felt a little guilty at this moment, and a trace of panic quickly flashed across their young faces.
Nan Xiaoxiao blinked a few times, her thick eyelashes swaying like small feather fans as she secretly glanced at Nan Xunran.
Jue scratched his head, his eyes darting around.
The next moment, Nan Xiaoxiao and the other person's eyes met.
In an instant, they reached a silent understanding.
The two decisively reached out and held hands firmly.
Then, they raised their hands high, intentionally showing them off to Nan Xunran.
Nan Xunran looked at them and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Like a fleeting moment, it vanished in an instant.
He flicked his sleeve, and a dazzling light shot out from his fingertips.
As the light faded, a delicate and unique swing appeared out of thin air.
Nan Xiaoxiao and Jue exclaimed simultaneously, "Wow!"
Then, the two of them looked up at Nan Xunran, their eyes filled with surprise.
Nan Xunran an eyebrow slightly, her voice clear and melodious. "Didn't you want to play?"
As she finished speaking, Nan Xiaoxiao smiled, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.
She pounced on Nan Xunran like a little bird, hugging his leg tightly, "Master, I love you so much!"
