Hearing her maternal grandmother whisper, Xiaosuisui raised her head from the Lotus Pond. "Granny! This isn’t the Celestial Court, this is Xiaosuisui’s Dream Realm!" Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s voice, Old Lady Ji was stunned for a moment before she reacted. "I was wondering why this place felt so familiar. It turns out I came here in my dreams when you were in trouble some time ago." After Old Lady Ji spoke, she walked to the edge of the Lotus Pond. Looking at Xiaosuisui, who was lying in the pond, she asked in confusion, "Sweetheart! Did you just say that this is your dream?" Xiaosuisui nodded, and the ripples in the water spread out, one after another. "Yes!" "So, does this mean we are both in your dream?" Xiaosuisui nodded her head. "Yes, yes!" As she continued to nod, the ripples spread out in more circles, looking like a little fish blowing bubbles. "So, you’re saying I’m here because of you?" Xiaosuisui nodded, pointing to a little girl, about her own size, floating in the air some distance away. "Granny, her name is Ah Ling. She’s the one who brought you here!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 Only then did Old Lady Ji notice the little girl who had been deliberately avoiding her. Hearing Xiaosuisui say her name, the girl flew over from the distance and landed directly in front of Old Lady Ji. Although Ah Ling had the appearance of a child, her voice sounded like an adult’s. This left Old Lady Ji momentarily stunned. "Don’t be startled, Ma’am," Ah Ling said. "I am an adult. I appear as a child because that is the image Master has of me. So, I appear before you in the form she imagines." "Wait a moment, child. Let me try to understand this." Old Lady Ji took a deep breath. "Did you just call my granddaughter your Master?" Ah Ling nodded. "Yes. I am the artifact spirit of the Soul-Calling Bell. I was dormant for certain reasons and was awakened by Master’s blood. Consequently, I formed a contract with her and acknowledged her as my Master." Ah Ling answered honestly. Old Lady Ji turned to look at Xiaosuisui, her eyes asking if what Ah Ling said was true. Xiaosuisui understood the question in her granny’s eyes and nodded. Old Lady Ji then shifted her gaze back to Ah Ling. "You just mentioned that it was Xiaosuisui’s blood that awakened you. May I ask when this happened?" "About two or three months ago." Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ji gasped, nearly unable to breathe. "Could... could it have been in June? The time Xiaosuisui was almost buried alive?" Ah Ling nodded. "Yes, that was the time. In fact, I should also thank you, Granny. You were the one who brought me to Master’s side. It was through a fortunate coincidence that I was able to break the Seal and form a contract with Master. Simultaneously, the Soul-Calling Bell helped repair Master’s body and improve her constitution, which is how Master survived." Although Ah Ling had been cultivating inside the Soul-Calling Bell, it didn’t mean she was oblivious to the outside world. Master’s heaven-defying abilities were inconsistent with her childhood. Of course, Master wasn’t very old now either. But the changes in these mere two or three months were simply too drastic. That was why she took this opportunity to explain a few things to Old Lady Ji. In truth, Ah Ling hadn’t mentioned many things. For example, why Xiaosuisui had been bullied so relentlessly at the Li Family, yet after arriving at the Ji Family, everyone seemed unable to resist her charm... Old Lady Ji nodded, seeming to accept Ah Ling’s explanation. "Tell me, Feifei! Where did you fly off to today? Do you have any idea how worried we all were?"
