"Do you need something?" Qi Yu looked up at them.
She clutched her clothes, the creek water was cold at night, her fingertips were red and chilly.
"Are you, the eldest daughter of the Shi family? From the village at the foot of Mount Yue?" Si Qing held the information, cross-referencing, "Your name is Shi Pandi?"
"Mm," Qi Yu nodded, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes.
Although she didn't know why, she remembered in her dreams that her name was Qi Yu, not this one.
She was contemplating whether to mention this.
Receiving Qi Yu's response, Si Qing lowered his gaze to the little one, hesitated for a moment, then turned to Shao Feng:
"How can we know if my elder sister's main soul is within her soul body?"
Shao Feng was taken aback by the question.
An Nuo also opened her mouth.
They were busy searching for the person, busy looking for clues, busy reuniting each other quickly, but they had never considered how to examine a person's soul to find Qi Yu's soul.
Although everyone could extract souls, could this thing be extracted casually?
And could it be put back after being extracted?
If it couldn't be put back, would that person die?
An Nuo and Shao Feng were speechless, both shaking their heads, indicating they didn't know either.
Shao Feng pulled Si Qing over: "You stay here with this little girl for a while, I'll go to the underworld and ask. I'll be back soon."
Si Qing nodded.
Shao Feng turned, vanished like smoke, and was gone.
Seeing this, An Nuo couldn't help but lean closer and try to get friendly with little Qi Yu: "Pandi, why are you washing clothes here alone? Where is your mother?"
Human cubs should be more fragile than dragon cubs, how could anyone human be so at ease letting a little cub come here to wash clothes by herself?
And.
An Nuo looked at the scattered clothes.
These were all boys' clothes.
Not a single one was for a girl.
"These are my brother's clothes," little Qi Yu sniffled. "Mother wants me to wash them for my brother."
As she spoke, she scrubbed and beat them.
"...Stop washing for now," Si Qing, hearing this from the side, frowned. Thinking of something, he suddenly picked up little Qi Yu, put her aside, and casually summoned a water monster to do the washing.
An Nuo was bewildered by Si Qing's sudden move, looking puzzled: "Why did you suddenly do that?"
Although it was indeed better for the human cub this way, she had also wanted to do it just now.
"Hmph," Si Qing glanced at little Qi Yu, who was sitting on the side picking at the dirt, "Until I know if my sister's soul is inside her, I won't allow her to do anything for that so-called brother, even if she did it before."
"Because she is my sister, not someone else's sister."
"I won't allow her to wash clothes for any Tom, Dick, or Harry brother, and no Tom, Dick, or Harry is worthy of having my sister wash clothes for them. I wouldn't even bear to let my sister wash clothes."
"..." An Nuo felt this was very much in line with Si Qing's obsessive-sister-complex style, who, without his sister, would rather destroy the world than not forcefully save her.
Little Qi Yu listened to them chat, not saying anything, quietly using a small stick to draw something on the ground.
The water monster in the creek finished washing the clothes in no time.
To show off, the water monster washed the clothes very cleanly, like new. Qi Yu politely took them with her hands, said goodbye to An Nuo and Si Qing, and carrying the small basin, decided to take the clothes home first.
Si Qing leaned against a tree outside, his eyes closed, waiting.
While waiting, he shifted his foot and felt like he had stepped on something.
Si Qing ignited spiritual energy at his fingertips and shone it over to look.
Upon seeing what little Qi Yu had written on the ground, his pupils contracted sharply.
At the same time, the sound of a shattered teacup came from inside the house.
