Yun Lintian stared at the little girl chewing the roasted meat in relish in doubt. No matter how he looked at her, she didn't seem to have a characteristic of a spirit. She was like a genuine little girl with flesh and blood.
"She's a spirit that achieved a true body. That's why she's no different from a human. No wonder, The Storm's power has regressed to this extent." Hongyue replied.
"Achieved a true body?" Yun Lintian frowned.
"This is quite troublesome. You cannot directly absorb The Storm into your body like you used to do with other relics. You have to gain her trust first and let her allow you to absorb the core of The Storm." Hongyue said with a soft sigh.
Yun Lintian asked. "What would happen to her if I succeeded?"
"She will naturally disappear," Hongyue replied calmly. "Of course. There's a way. You just need to turn her into a true spirit."
"How to do that?" Although Yun Lintian didn't know the little girl personally, he couldn't stand watching her disappear.
"You gain her trust first, and I will tell you later," Hongyue responded.
Yun Lintian nodded slightly. He released the wood element and asked the little girl. "Do you want more?"
"Mhm!" The little girl replied eagerly. Her eyes were fixated on the roasted meat plate without even blinking.
Yun Lintian meticulously fed her a few more pieces and asked. "What is your name?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Name? What is that?" The little girl asked confusedly while chewing the meat.
"It is a word to call a person." Yun Lintian explained. "My name is Yun Lintian. You can call me Big Brother Yun. And this is Linlin. You can call her Big Sister Linlin."
The little girl tilted her head and said. "Big Brother Yun? Big Sister Linlin?"
Perhaps because of the wood energy emitted from Yun Lintian, the little girl subconsciously relaxed her body. Yun Lintian could feel that he didn't have to use much strength from the crown to suppress her further.
In order to gain her trust, Yun Lintian gradually lessened his power until he let go completely. Surprisingly, the little girl didn't run away but kept looking at him in confusion.
"Yes. From now on, I will be your big brother, and she will be your big sister… Since you don't have a name. How about let me give you one?" Yun Lintian said shamelessly.
The little girl thought for a moment and nodded. "Mhm!"
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "You seem to like the green color. How about I call you Qingqing?"
"Qingqing… Qingqing?" The little girl murmured to herself for a while before smiling. "I am Qingqing. Hehe."
She pointed at Yun Lintian, Linlin, and herself. "Big Brother Yun. Big Sister Linlin. Qingqing. Hehe."
Yun Lintian smiled with satisfaction. "That's right. We're family from now on."
"Family?" The little girl, Qingqing, was confused.
"Family means a group of people that belong together. From today onward, Qingqing will follow big brother and Big Sister Linlin. We will bring you to see the outside world. Do you want it?" Yun Lintian asked gently.
"Family… Outside world?" Qingqing was even more confused. She had been living in this place alone and had never been to other places. The concept of the outside world had never appeared in her mind.
"The outside world is the other places besides here. There are many beautiful terrains and rivers for you to see." Yun Lintian smiled. "Of course. There are many delicacies, too."
Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously licked her lips. She seemed to understand the concept now. Especially the delicacy part. She couldn't wait to taste every dish in the world.
"His coaxing children skill is really good. No wonder he likes children so much." Hongyue curled her lips. "This little girl has already fallen into his pit."
"But he really needs to change his naming sense." Yun Huanxin couldn't help saying.
"Indeed." Yun Ruanyu laughed gently.
"Try this." Yun Lintian took out a bowl of mashed potato and placed it before Qingqing. "Use this spoon to scoop it up like this."
Under Yun Lintian's guidance, Qingqing quickly familiarized herself with the spoon and slowly stuffed the mashed potato into her tiny mouth.
Her eyes immediately lit up as she said happily. "Delicious."
Afterward, Yun Lintian continued to serve Qingqing more dishes. With the concept of conquering a little girl through her stomach, the relationship between them grew increasingly closer in a short time. He could feel that the vigilance in Qingqing's heart had disappeared completely now.
"Burp!" Qingqing let out a cute burp while patting her bulging tummy satisfyingly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe looked at Yun Lintian and said with an innocent smile. "Thank you, Big Brother Yun."
Yun Lintian was taken aback for a second. This little girl actually knew the gratitude concept?
He smiled and patted her head dotingly. "Between us, no need to say this. Big brother is willing to share everything with you."
A foreign feeling arose in Qingqing's little heart. She didn't know what it was, but she liked this warm feeling very much. The smile on her face grew brighter as she leaned forward, letting Yun Lintian pat her.
"She has opened up. You can use this chance to control The Storm within her body." Hongyue suddenly said. "Once you gain full control, she will no longer resist you."
Yun Lintian frowned and shook his head. "It's not good. This is no different from betraying her."
Hongyue wanted to say something, but she gave up in the end. Considering Yun Lintian's attitude toward Qingqing, she knew it was useless to convince him further.
Naturally, Yun Lintian didn't give up on The Storm. He chose another way to approach her instead. "Qingqing, do you know why big brother come here?"
Qingqing tilted her head and said naively. "To give Qingqing food?"
Yun Lintian chuckled. "That's one thing." He paused for a second and continued. "Big brother actually came here to find something."
"What is it? Do you need Qingqing's help?" Qingqing asked.
Yun Lintian patted her head and praised her. "Qingqing is so good. You already know how to help others."
He retracted his hand and said with a serious expression. "Big brother, of course, needs Qingqing's help. Because what big brother finding is in your body."
Qingqing blinked a few times and raised her hand up. A deep green orb enveloped with a wind appeared on her palm as she asked. "Big brother means this?"
