Chapter 208
When Yu Xi first met Gu An, she thought he was unconventional and disliked him, but after chatting for a few sentences, she found that Gu An was just trying to make her happy.
At that time, she felt that Gu An might be someone who was easy to get along with.
Now hearing Gu An being so easy to talk to, she became even more certain of her thoughts.
"From now on, I'll call you brother and you'll call me senior sister?" she asked tentatively.
"I understand, Senior Sister."
Gu An responded happily.
Seeing that the two of them solved the problem of addressing each other simply and neatly, Zhong Xian rolled his eyes expressionlessly.
If he didn't want to ruin his image in front of Yu Xi, he would have commented on Gu An as "slippery-tongued", "flattering" and "flowery-speaking".
However, he originally wanted to use the name to distance himself from Gu An and Xiao Xier, but he didn't expect that it would make Xiao Xier have another brother, which backfired.
He was upset, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at the sky and said:
"Xiao Xi'er, it's getting late. Shall I take you to Mu Lezhi to get the sword?"
Yu Xi was a little conflicted. She wanted to get the sword, but she also wanted to chat with Gu An for a while longer. "But I still want to hear about my past. Did I really hatch from an egg?"
Don’t mention it, Zhong Xian also wants to hear about this.
Su Xianyun and Jizhi also pricked up their ears.
Gu An suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Would you like to sit down and listen to me?"
Gu An pointed to the stone table and stone chairs in the courtyard that he had wiped clean. "I just asked the birds to pick some fruits. They are very fresh and picked when they are at their sweetest. Oh, and..."
"Stop."
Seeing that Gu An was about to talk non-stop again, Zhong Xian immediately cut him off and said with finality: "Come with us to find Mu Lezhi, and we can talk about this on the way."
No matter what, Gu An is still their junior brother. It would be too embarrassing for him to go out without even a sword.
Moreover, Gu An himself has never practiced cultivation. It's just because he is a demon and has his own demon pill, so he skipped the pill-forming stage. But if they really fight seriously, he might not even be able to beat Xiao Xier.
It just so happened that after Xiao Xier got the sword, Mu Lezhi had some free time. He could be given some new work to do so that he wouldn't grow hair from being idle all day long.
Zhong Xian couldn't help but feel that he was really Mu Lezhi's best friend, and he even arranged all the work that Mu Lezhi had to do.
Gu An didn't ask who Mu Lezhi was, nor did he ask where he was going. He just responded when he heard that he was going with Yu Xi.
So Zhong Xian summoned the spirit boat and carried Yu Xi on it.
Gu An jumped in by himself, and Ji Zhi and Su Xianyun also sat in secretly.
"What are you two doing here?"
Zhong Xian's eyes are not eyes and his nose is not a nose.
Su Xianyun didn't know what to do, nor was he angry. He just looked at the sky and the ground without saying a word. Jizhi also looked at Zhong Xian innocently, as if Zhong Xian had asked a very strange question.
Seeing them like this, Zhong Xian became annoyed and started the spirit boat directly.
Gu Anan sat quietly opposite Yu Xi. Seeing Yu Xi looking at him curiously, waiting for him to speak, he didn't hesitate and quickly looked at Yu Xi and said:
"When I found my senior sister, she was in a cave in the wilderness.
“There was a strange smell around the cave, and the wild beasts didn’t dare to approach. It didn’t affect me at all. When the beasts were chasing me, I went into the cave.
“It’s very hot in the wilderness, but it’s very cool inside the cave. The inside of the cave is covered with rocks, and there are many words carved on the rock walls. They are glowing, and it looks like stars covering the rock walls.
"I saw my senior sister right away."
When he said this, Gu An's expression was still a little nostalgic:
"To be precise, the first thing I saw was a white, translucent egg. It was huge, taller than me, and glowing. Even if I jumped up, I couldn't see the top of the eggshell.
“But I could see something inside the egg, a small child curled up in a ball.
"I was so tired at the time that I wanted to rest against the egg for a while, but I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that the child in the egg had turned into a white fox with nine tails. Her body was small, but her tails were big. If the egg was that big, it must have been installed with tails."
When Yu Xi heard this, she couldn't help but wonder, "Is the person in the egg really me? But I can't turn into a fox, and I can't turn into a human either."
She now suspected that Gu An had recognized the wrong person.
"It's you, I won't make a mistake."
Gu An said in a gentle voice: "Whether it's a human or a fox, you are still my senior sister. When I wanted to become a human, I became a human. When I wanted to become a fox, I became a fox. I even asked me to guess what I would become the next day. You also said that I was your first friend."
In fact, Yu Xi, who was still in the egg at that time, could not speak fluently, or her mind was not fully developed. She spoke very little and might not say a few words throughout the whole year. Most of the time, it was Gu An who spoke.
In order to convey the sound to Gu An, Yu Xi had to get close to the eggshell and speak word by word like bubbles.
But it did not prevent Gu An from understanding Yu Xi's meaning.
"If I'm hungry, sick, or injured, you will create plants full of fruits around me." Gu An smiled and said, "That's the most delicious fruit I've ever eaten. Any discomfort will disappear after taking a bite.
"You told me you'd been in the egg for a long time, maybe hundreds of years, but you could feel you were about to come out, and you asked me to wait for you."
Gu An discovered this cave shortly after he was born. He had no tribe left and had nowhere to go except Yu Xi.
Even if Yu Xi didn't ask him to wait, he wouldn't go anywhere.
But this wait lasted eight years.
He would go out occasionally, but as long as he was in the burrow, he would stay beside the eggs, patiently waiting for them to hatch.
Finally one day, he saw cracks in the eggshell and Yu Xi was about to come out.
"But you had just emerged from the eggshell. Before I could hold your hand, you disappeared, and the eggshell turned to stone."
The change happened so quickly that Gu An almost thought he was having a nightmare.
He didn't even have time to say a word to Yu Xi before the entire cave darkened. The plants withered, a chill set in, and it became gloomy and lifeless, with nothing left.
Gu An still remembers the despair of having nothing.
He frantically searched the cave for a long time, and even though he was extremely hungry, he stubbornly refused to leave the cave.
Until he suddenly felt that the connection between him and Yu Xi was not broken, and that the person he was looking for was connected to him in a very far place.
What he was most thankful for at that time was that he was a goose demon.
He could find his home.
"So I searched all the way here and found you in the demon world."
Gu An said finally.
He finished speaking, but everyone else on the spirit boat fell silent.
