"Is this Huan Du Luolan... She's this little?"
Crimson Kite, standing beside Sentience Fu Hua, looked at Huan Du Luolan before her in mild surprise. She was so small... She looked like she wasn't even seven yet?
Of course, Huan Du Luolan and Tushan Yaya were demons, so their apparent ages were completely different from humans'. Humans could grow up in a dozen or so years, but demons might not change in appearance at all over the same span.
But calculating it that way, Crimson Kite seemed to roughly know... what period this was. Crimson Kite vaguely remembered that when Dongfang Yuechu's mother was still a little brat, Huan Du Luolan had looked about the same age as his mother, Dongfang Qinlan.
Looking at it this way, this should probably be... around a dozen years before or after the Bamboo Industry arc?
She wasn't certain of the exact timing. After all, demons' ages were entirely unreliable. If she met a human she recognized, she could probably judge it based on that person's age.
Besides... Crimson Kite noticed that Tushan Yaya had never met Dongfang Yuechu, while the Dongfang Family was still at the height of its power. That narrowed the time down even further—it was probably during the Bamboo Industry arc...?
Forget it. None of that mattered...
She couldn't stray too far from Sentience Fu Hua anyway, so what was the point of thinking so much about it?
Curiously studying Huan Du Luolan before her, Crimson Kite saw that she was still an adorable little girl, dressed in a long pink robe. Compared with the beggar-like outfit she wore after growing up, there was practically no comparison.
Huan Du Luolan was actually quite pretty after growing up, but compared to how she looked now, Crimson Kite still felt she belonged
