A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 698 - 671: Has that old man Yun Yi gone mad?

Exhausted, Ji Shang finally stopped and plopped down in front of Xiaosuisui.

"Phew... I’m exhausted! Hey! Tell me, little baby, are there really no senior experts here, huh?"

Xiaosuisui pouted and rose to her feet in a huff, her hands placed defiantly on her hips. Angrily, she stared at her overwhelmed maternal grandfather, puffing out an indignant rebuke.

"I told you, I’m not a little baby!"

The little girl, with her soft, childish voice, trying to be fierce, pouting her lips, looked adorably ferocious, like a little monster about to eat someone! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Seeing her adorably fierce little display, Ji Shang found this little baby utterly captivating, and his heart melted instantly.

"Come, come! Little baby, tell me, what’s your name? Whose child are you?"

Ji Shang scooped Xiaosuisui into his arms, his heart filled with an encompassing warmth.

Xiaosuisui pouted and turned her head away in annoyance.

"Hmph! I’ve already told you I’m not a little baby! You can’t keep calling me little baby!"

Seeing this little baby pouting so angrily, Ji Shang’s heart warmed even more. Reaching out, he playfully pinched her chubby cheek and said,

"Alright! I won’t call you little baby. But you have to tell me your name, right?"

"Suisui!"

"Suisui? A fine name. Is it taken from the phrase meaning ’peace and safety year after year’?"

Xiaosuisui shook her head. "I don’t know. I’ve never asked, and no one has ever told me!"

"No one ever told you, huh! Hey, Suisui! Tell me, what’s your surname? And before, why did you call me Maternal Grandfather?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui clapped her hands excitedly and exclaimed,

"Oh goodness, Maternal Grandfather, you’re finally thinking straight and talking like a normal person! I told you, this is my Dream Realm, and Ah Ling pulled you in. My surname is Ji; I’m a child of the Ji Family."

Hearing this, Ji Shang’s lips twitched. So, in this child’s eyes, I’ve been acting like a fool all this time?

Thinking back, it seemed he had indeed. His behavior since arriving did resemble that of a fool. It was normal for her to misunderstand!

Realizing his mistake, Ji Shang scratched his head sheepishly and said with a grin,

"I misunderstood! I thought this was an Illusory Realm created by a powerful Illusory Immortal!"

"What’s an Illusory Immortal?"

Xiaosuisui’s world had no Immortals, and she had never heard anyone mention them. Of course, she also didn’t know that in the Great Han Country, many martial artists were actually Cultivators.

They mostly practiced basic cultivation. However, due to the incomplete Celestial Dao and the lack of Spiritual Qi for nourishment and absorption, many could only break through to the sixth or seventh realm, finding further progress very difficult.

Of course, a few could break through further, but they were rare. Those who could pass the Tenth Realm to reach the Grand Master level were even rarer.

Only after surpassing the Grand Master stage did one truly begin the journey of cultivation. Beyond that, cultivation levels were no longer divided by realms but by grades. However, in the current Great Han, no one had successfully broken through to these grades.

For example, Ji Youyuan, Yun Cang, and Enlightenment from the Buddhist Sect—these individuals at the Grand Master level—if they could temper their bodies with sufficient Spiritual Qi and achieve a breakthrough, they would reach the Ninth Grade Cultivation Realm.

Since Xiaosuisui didn’t know these things, and indeed many others didn’t either, she naturally questioned Ji Shang about it.

"An Illusory Immortal is someone who practices Illusion Techniques and has surpassed the First Grade Immortal Realm; they are Immortals. Based on my current cultivation, only an Immortal could pull my Divine Soul into an Illusory Realm. Hey! Suisui, you said earlier that Ah Ling pulled me in. What realm is Ah Ling at? Is Ah Ling male or female? Why did she bring me here?"

Hearing Ji Shang’s questions, Xiaosuisui blinked, tilted her head, and carefully examined Ji Shang’s face.

Yes, this was definitely her very own maternal grandfather, no doubt about it.

It wasn’t just because he had the same goofy air as her Seventh Uncle—though that was identical—but the connection of their bloodline was so thick it couldn’t be denied.

Seeing Xiaosuisui staring at him, scrutinizing him from left to right, Ji Shang felt inexplicably uneasy, as if this little baby had seen through some secret of his.

"I say, what exactly are you looking at, staring at me like that?" he asked.

Xiaosuisui pouted and replied,

"You and my Seventh Uncle are definitely father and son. That goofy streak is exactly the same in both of you. You truly are a blood-related father and son!"
