Chapter 492 Since you call me Sister Master, do you know what Master does?
Chapter 492 Since you call me Sister Master, do you know what Master does?
The girl heard the name Lan Youyou.
Her face instantly blossomed into a smile as beautiful as peach blossoms in early spring.
The pink hair ornaments on her twin buns swayed gently with her joyful movements.
She released Xu Wan's waist and spun around on the spot.
The azure skirt swirled with a ripple-like halo, and her bare feet touched the ground without getting a speck of dust on them.
"Lan Youyou! Lan Youyou!"
"I have a name now!"
"It sounds great, it sounds great!"
"Hehehe..."
She giggled, her voice clear and crisp like the ringing of a wind chime.
I like this name!
She suddenly rushed back to Xu Wan's knees, tilted her little face up, and her clear eyes were filled with starlight.
"Sister Master~~"
"You decided my name in a single thought. From now on, I will be the butterfly in your palm, and no matter how far I fly, I will always know my way home!"
Xu Wan's fingertips were still stained with mangosteen juice, and she was slightly taken aback when she heard this.
The address, both childlike and solemn, softened her heart.
She bent down and gently stroked Lan Youyou's hair, the touch as warm and smooth as newly blooming lotus petals, with a faint flow of spiritual energy.
"You little rascal, you know how to be clever."
Her voice was still weak, but it was tinged with a smile.
"But Sister Shizun is too difficult to pronounce, so perhaps..."
Xu Wan wanted to say: Why not call me Master Beauty?
But he hadn't finished speaking!
Lan Youyou shook her head repeatedly!
The twin buns swayed like rattles:
"It's not hard to pronounce!"
"Sister represents closeness, and Master represents respect; together they are worthy of you!"
"Since you call me elder sister and master, do you know what a master does?"
Xu Wan gently stroked the girl's head, speaking in an extremely soft voice, as if afraid of disturbing this extraordinary connection.
Lan Youyou tilted her head and suddenly pressed her small hand on Xu Wan's wrist pulse.
In an instant!
A cool, stream-like spiritual energy seeped into her fingertips.
The sharpest piercing pain deep within Xu Wan's soul subsided slightly.
Lan Youyou said seriously:
"Master protects people, and so does Youyou!"
"Your soul is torn, but Youyou can mend it!"
She turned her head and pointed to the fruit shells on the edge of the jade plate.
Within the cracked purplish-red shell, tiny golden rays floated like fireflies.
"The pit is Youyou's home. If you eat it, Youyou can crawl into your heart and protect you from the wind and rain!"
Next breath...
She gripped Xu Wan's clothes with her small hands, her grip light yet stubborn.
“I was born on the ‘Illusory Light Vine’ in the deepest part of the Spirit Plant Garden, and it took me a thousand years to develop spiritual consciousness.”
"When you fought with the willow tree spirit the other day, the clear light emanating from your soul was like moonlight shining into a secluded valley."
"I knew from afar that this person was destined to be my master!"
Ling Shuo observed quietly from the side, his eyes flickering slightly at this moment.
He had always known that the plants in the garden possessed spiritual power, but he never expected that a blue butterfly drawn by a mangosteen would have such a fortunate encounter.
He coughed lightly, his fingertips brushing across the stone table:
“What Lan Youyou said is true.”
"The Spirit Butterfly Clan has always chosen its masters carefully, recognizing only those with the purest souls."
"Although Miss Xu's aura was weak after her tribulation, it was like the first melting of ice and snow, containing the sacred power of the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill."
He paused, and his red robes fluttered even without wind.
“I have seen records in ancient books that spirit butterflies recognize their masters and are guided by the light of their souls.”
"The place where Miss Xu's soul shattered was precisely where the spiritual energy was most concentrated, making it more precious to them than a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."
Bai Yuan remained silent!
At this moment, however, he placed the half-eaten mangosteen back onto the jade plate.
His gaze, like a deep pool, swept over Lan Youyou, and he said in a deep voice:
“Xiaodie, since you are spiritually aware, you should know that recognizing a master is not a trivial matter.”
“My junior brother’s soul is not stable. If you are not firm in your mind, it will cause her soul to tremble.”
The words have not yet been spoken!
Lan Youyou straightened her little body and answered crisply:
"Father, you're overthinking it!"
She turned to Xu Wan and suddenly removed the pink hair ornament from her hair.
It was originally a piece of glass formed from a butterfly wing, translucent and shimmering with golden threads.
"Look!"
She held the hair ornament in her palm, and the butterfly wings slowly unfolded, casting a soft light.
A halo enveloped Xu Wan.
The trembling in her fingertips visibly subsided, and even the hidden pain between her brows dissipated like a thin mist.
"This is my 'Soul-Soothing Scale' refined with a hundred years' worth of moonlight; it can protect its master from three inches of soul injury!"
Lan Youyou stared longingly at Xu Wan.
"If you agree, I will weave light to protect your body every day, so that you will never again be pierced by the cold needles!"
Xu Wan felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes stung slightly.
She remembered last night!
The inner demons conjured countless sharp blades that pierced the soul.
If it weren't for Bai Yuan and his master, Master Jiuyang, risking their lives to protect him...
Her soul had long since vanished.
At this moment, the little girl's promise touched my heart more deeply than the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill.
Just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden movement in the pool!
Several koi carp leaped out of the water, carrying lotus petals in their mouths as they swirled around the pavilion. Water droplets on the petals refracted colorful light, all of which fell into the blue sky.
"Ha ha……"
Lan Youyou giggled and reached out to catch it; the light spot entered her body and immediately turned into starlight!
A pale blue halo rose around him, and even his hair seemed to radiate spiritual energy.
"The plant garden is congratulating me!"
She turned around, took Xu Wan's hand, and with bare feet lightly touching the pavilion surface, she led her into a twirl and dance.
Xu Wan should have been weak and unable to support herself, but she felt a warm current flowing into her palm.
The soul was like a parched land receiving sweet rain; where the stinging pain melted away, new life sprouted from the spot.
"Wonderful!"
Ling Shuo clapped his hands and laughed, his silver hair shimmering faintly in the halo of light.
"Spiritual plants and telepathy, this is a match made in heaven!"
Lan Youyou's small hand suddenly covered Xu Wan's chest:
"Youyou wants to be her sister's master's soul lamp!"
"At night, I'll guard your soul so it won't wander; during the day, I'll shield you from the wind and rain..."
She suddenly turned to Ling Shuo, blinking her eyes:
"Uncle gardener, could I borrow a lotus leaf?"
Ling Shuo was stunned!
Thinking secretly:
uncle?
This child really knows how to greet people!
Yeah, it's my fault!
It has a full head of silver hair!
Ling Shuo stood up with a smile.
He picked a fresh lotus leaf from the pond and handed it to her.
Lan Youyou tossed the lotus leaf into the air, and with a light tap of her fingertip, the lotus leaf transformed into a delicate little lamp, the wick of which was the spiritual light emanating from her fingertip.
She tiptoed and slipped the lamp into Xu Wan's palm:
"As long as the light is on, Youyou is alive!"
"If my master agrees to take me in, the lamp will never go out!"
Ring ring ring…
The wind chimes in the pavilion tinkle, and koi carp leap and splash in the pond.
Xu Wan stared at the soul lamp in her palm, the warm light reflecting off the glistening tears in her eyes.
She finally reached out and pulled Lan Youyou into her arms.
"it is good."
She pressed her forehead against the top of Lan Youyou's head.
"From now on, you will be my soul lamp, and I will be your elder sister and master."
Bai Yuan laughed heartily.
"Hahaha!"
"Once you enter my gate, there is no turning back."
"Protecting her soul is protecting your own essence."
Ling Shuo smiled and retreated to the corner of the pavilion. With a light wave of her fingertips, the pale blue spiritual energy from the veins of the Ganoderma lucidum leaves in the garden flowed into the pavilion like a stream.
He took a scroll of bamboo slips and spread it on the stone table:
"A spiritual butterfly needs to establish a spiritual bond to recognize its master."
"Youyou, tell me, what is loyalty?"
Lan Youyou broke free from Xu Wan's embrace, stood barefoot before the bamboo slips, and solemnly placed her small hands on them:
“Zhong was my sister’s master’s hunger, so Youyou turned into a fruit.”
"Sister Master is cold, so I weave a light robe."
"When my elder sister's master was undergoing tribulation..."
She paused, her eyes reddening, but her words remained clear.
"Youyou would rather be annihilated than let the last heavenly lightning strike her!"
Suddenly, the bamboo slips shone with golden light, and the characters seemed to come alive, flowing into Lan Youyou's heart.
The contract is complete!
The garden was filled with exotic flowers and rare plants swaying in unison.
The bluish light from the veins of the Ganoderma lucidum leaf poured into the girl's body.
Her azure skirt moved without any wind.
The spiritual threads around her ankles transformed into flowing light and wrapped around Xu Wan's wrists.
Their body temperatures gradually synchronized.
"It's done."
Ling Shuo put away the bamboo slips, her smile gentle.
From then on, Youyou's soul and body coexisted with Miss Xu.
"but……"
He suddenly pointed to the pond.
"You little rascal, do you know that once you've chosen a master, you can't just fly around aimlessly anymore?"
"Hehehe..."
Lan Youyou giggled and rushed to the edge of the pool to scoop up water and admire her reflection.
In the reflection in the water,
Her hair bun had sprouted two semi-transparent butterfly wings, and she could not sink even when she touched the water with her bare feet.
"Youyou wants to live inside her sister's master's soul lamp!"
She turned and ran towards Xu Wan.
The little hand held up the lotus leaf lamp.
"As long as the light is there, the person is there; if the light goes out, the person dies!"
"But Youyou won't let the lights go out!"
She tiptoed and placed the lamp back into Xu Wan's palm, her fingertips lightly touching it.
"Sister Master, look! The wick of the lamp is like a gentle heartbeat!"
Xu Wan lowered her head.
The light from the lamp flickered like a pulse, echoing my own heartbeat.
The soul felt more stable than ever before, and even the medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill seemed to be catalyzed by this spiritual light.
She peeled the last mangosteen and handed it to her:
"Youyou, taste your own home."
Lan Youyou cheered as she took the fruit; the flesh melted in her mouth.
She suddenly raised her head.
The figures of Xu Wan and Bai Yuan were reflected in her azure eyes.
"Sister Master~~"
"Father~~"
"No, it's my older brother!"
She quickly changed her mind, her face turning bright red.
"Youyou will help your sister's master repair her soul and help your brother fight! Once your sister's master's soul is fully healed..."
She lowered her voice mysteriously.
"Youyou will take you to our Spirit Butterfly's home!"
"There's a singing tree there, and its fruit can make you dream of your past life!"
Bai Yuan and Ling Shuo looked at each other and smiled.
Outside the pavilion, cicadas chirped incessantly.
The aroma of tea and the fragrance of lotus intertwined, enveloping the four of them in a peaceful atmosphere.
Xu Wan gripped the Soul Lamp tightly, the warmth spreading from her palms to her limbs and bones.
She finally understood.
Some things are destined to happen.
It's starlight leaking out when the mangosteen splits open.
They are wings that grew from the shattered parts of the soul.
And Lan Youyou.
This ray of light was created for her.
From then on, it became a lamp that illuminated the long night.
Lan Youyou climbed onto Xu Wan's lap.
Her little hands encircled her neck.
"Sister Master, Youyou will never get lost again!"
While talking.
Her twin buns swayed in her hair.
The butterfly wing pattern flows gently, like a sapphire pinned in time.
