Little Lele Is a God

"Besides, we can't find anyone more suitable right now, and Xuanxuan can't keep dragging this out forever!"

Father Chu was persuaded by Fu Siwen, but he was still worried. "Even if Lele really can do it, will Su Minghui agree? What if Chen Jun's people get desperate and do something?"

Even the masters of the Imperial Capital did not dare provoke those people. Father Chu was somewhat wary of them as well.

Fu Siwen was troubled too. She only wanted to save her son, not drag an innocent person into danger—especially when that person was her best friend.

In the end, she made up her mind. "I'll discuss it with Huihui."

The next day, Fu Siwen asked Su Minghui out. The moment Chu Yanxiao saw Su Leyun, he voluntarily went over to play with him, giving the two women space to talk.

Everything Fu Siwen felt showed on her face. Seeing her troubled expression, Su Minghui took the initiative to ask, "I heard you've been looking for someone lately. Has there been any progress with Xuanxuan?"

With Su Minghui opening the conversation, Fu Siwen finally said, "Actually, I asked you out today because of this."

She roughly explained the information Father Chu had found, then carefully asked, "We have everything ready except the final piece. So... would you be willing to let Lele be that final piece?"

She hurriedly added, "If you're unwilling, I understand. Please don't force yourself."

"This..."

Su Minghui looked up at Su Leyun, who was beaming as Chu Yanxiao entertained him, then said, "You know Lele is just a baby who can't even talk yet. Even if I agree, how could he help you?"

Fu Siwen was stumped too.

What they needed now was a way to restore Xuanxuan's fate. The actual process required a master capable of standing against Chen Jun's old Taoist to guide them.

What could Su Leyun, a tiny hundred-day-old baby, possibly do?

Fu Siwen gave a bitter smile. "I was too anxious. I actually forgot the most important part."

Seeing her disappointed expression, Su Minghui quickly comforted her. "But don't worry. I'll help you think of something too."

Fu Siwen nodded gratefully. "Okay!"

After returning home, Su Minghui looked at Su Leyun. He did not understand why his mom was staring at him, but he still gave her a sweet smile.

Su Minghui recalled the information she had found online—because Su Leyun always said he was Bai Ze, she had looked up related information.

The internet said: Bai Ze was an auspicious beast from ancient mythology. It had a dragon's head, green hair, horns, and four legs built for running and flying. It could speak, understood all living things, knew of ghosts and gods, and could ward off all evil energy in the human world.

How could an appearance like "a dragon's head, green hair, horns, and four legs built for running and flying" be connected to the adorable little baby before her? Yet the things that had happened to Su Leyun forced Su Minghui to try believing that her youngest son truly was the reincarnation of a divine beast.

If that was true, then he should know how to help Chu Xuan reclaim his fate, right?

With that thought, Su Minghui clasped her hands together, pretending to pray, and muttered as she retold everything Fu Siwen had told her.

Su Leyun sat in the small crib beside her, tilting his head as he watched her with his large eyes blinking.

Xuanxuan is too pitiful. He clearly didn't do anything, yet he's suffered so much! That old Taoist is the worst. How could he come up with such a vicious method?

But what is Mom doing? The people up there can't hear her!

Besides, who even knew whether there was anyone up there anymore!

Su Minghui thought, It's fine. I wasn't saying it for them to hear anyway. As long as you can hear me, that's enough!

She continued praying devoutly. "Gods and Buddhas of heaven, if you can hear my prayer, please come to me in a dream and tell me what I should do to help my friend."

Su Leyun grew even more anxious. He stretched out his hand toward Su Minghui and babbled, and seeing her furrowed brows, he hated that he could not speak.

"Yah, yah, yah..."

Mom, you don't need to beg them! Lele knows. Lele will tell you everything!

Su Minghui pretended not to understand, but she actually picked up paper and pen, pricked up her ears, and prepared to take notes at any moment.

All you need are branches from a fifty-year-old peach tree, two roosters born in the same year as Xuanxuan, Chen Jun's son's birth characters, and fresh blood...

As Su Leyun spoke, Su Minghui wrote. Before long, she had filled nearly half a page, yet Su Leyun showed no sign of stopping.

After preparing those things, you need to choose an auspicious day.

Su Leyun pinched his tiny, short fingers together.

Hmm, the fifteenth of this month is a good day. Choose a place in the southeast with water and mountains. Set up an altar and perform the ritual at the boundary between yin and yang, and the fates can be switched back.

What a pity. It's so simple, but Mom can't hear it!

Su Leyun's little face scrunched into a ball, filled with worry.

Su Minghui discreetly stretched her sore wrist and thought, My precious boy, this isn't simple at all! I haven't written this much in years!

But no matter what, now that they had a way to restore his fate, everything afterward would be much easier!

The next day, Su Minghui brought Su Leyun to the Chu Family.

The moment Chu Yanxiao saw Su Leyun, he hurried over. "Little wife, I bought new toys again. I'll go get them for you!"

After saying that, he ran back to his room and carried over a huge pile of novel toys. Su Leyun stared blankly at the mountain of toys before looking at Chu Yanxiao.

Why are there so many toys? Are you planning to become a toy wholesaler?

Chu Yanxiao picked up a toy and put it in Su Leyun's hands, his expression solemn. "Whatever little wife likes, I'll make!"

Although Su Leyun always said it was childish, he had fun playing every time. Chu Yanxiao only wanted him to be happy, so whenever he came across something fun during the days they could not meet, he bought it and saved it up.

The two children soon began playing together. Taking the opportunity, Su Minghui told Fu Siwen about the method she had heard from Su Leyun the night before.

"It's so complicated." Fu Siwen was indeed stunned by the long list. "Where did you get this?"

Su Minghui casually made up an excuse. "I happened to meet an eccentric master who told me. He wasn't willing to come out of seclusion, but he gave me all the steps, so I'll carry out the procedure on his behalf."

Fu Siwen hesitated. "Huihui, can you really do this?" Afraid Su Minghui would misunderstand, she hurriedly added, "It's absolutely not that I don't trust you. It's just that this concerns Xuanxuan's life, and I want to make sure nothing goes wrong."
