The annex was halfway up the mountain, and when I was sent back, my body was very weak, and the children hugged me, and then they were carried back by their fathers one by one, not wanting to affect my rest.

In the end, there was only Xiaojiu, who was already sixteen, left. His job was to keep me from falling asleep until the men had finished coaxing the child.

Xiao Jiu stood quietly beside my bed, with deep anxiety in his eyes, I smiled faintly, and when I raised my hand, I found that I couldn't touch his face, yes, he was now the same height as me. This rebirth really made me feel like a world away.

How long has it been since you saw everyone? A year? Two years? The experience of those two worlds has allowed me to experience almost two centuries of vicissitudes.

Xiao Jiu took my hand, sat on the edge of my bed, and then put my hand on his face, and tears welled up: "Madam, don't do this again, young master and young lady, I'm really scared......"

"I ...... Sorry for worrying everyone......"

Xiao Jiu turned to smile, the black pearl's eyes were wet with water, and they were extremely clear and glazed: "Madam, after the New Year, I will be eighteen." ”

"Eighteen?" I wondered, "Isn't it seventeen?" ”

"Ma'am, you've been sleeping for a year." He furrowed his thin, good-looking brows, and looked at his sad expression, and I fell into a daze, I ...... Slept for a year?

"It turns out that I slept for a year." I withdrew the hand held by Xiao Jiu, put it casually beside me, and looked up, "Xiao Lei is also thirteen, she is a girl, I didn't expect it to be just a year, and I feel that the children are suddenly ...... older."

"Yes. Madam, Xiao Lei has begun to learn about the affairs of the Shadow Palace with Master Qiu Yue. ”

"So fast?" I was stunned.

Xiao Jiu's eyes were unusually bright: "There are also Young Master Xiaoli, Miss Xiaojun, who have achieved both poison and medical skills, and they are extremely intelligent." By the way, the emperor wanted to accept Little Master Xuanyuan as his righteous son and planned to let him take over the world, but Master Xuanyuan refused, but Little Master Xuanyuan seemed to be very interested in being an official. ”

The distant memories were recalled little by little, yes, it was a long time before Xuanyuan wanted to accept Yifei's child as a righteous son.

"But Miss Chunyu and the little master don't seem to have any preferences, Madame, don't worry, they may still be young, I will take good care of them."

"Heh......" I couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Jiu, how are you like their little daddy." ”

Xiao Jiu's face turned red, and he frowned seriously: "Madam, my name is Chongjiutian, and I am about to be eighteen, do you still remember what you said to me back then?" ”

"What?" I said too much about Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu sighed: "Just let me take good care of them." ”

"yes, you're taking good care of it."

"At that time, I was the eldest of all the children, and it was not from Mrs., so I have been living carefully, afraid that Mrs. will abandon me, but I didn't expect Mrs. to really regard me as a member of the Shu family, giving me the warmth of my family, all the masters have taught me, Mrs., my today, it is all given by Mrs., I will never forget." He shook my hand beside him with some excitement, "Madam, so please don't leave you again, if there is no Madame, I really ...... What the...... It's gone......"

"How so?" I looked at his childish face, but it was becoming more and more mature.

There was a trace of sadness in his eyes: "If the officials of the lady do not have the lady, there are also young masters and young ladies, but I have nothing to ......."

"Nonsense, you have the Shu family." I was a little angry, "And your masters, don't live up to our cultivation ...... you"

"However, the master is just the master." Xiao Jiu's expression revealed a bit of pain and struggle, "But Mrs. is Mrs., Mrs. is a different existence in my heart." Moreover, it doesn't matter if Shu Yuan has me or not. ”

"How could you think that? You are a member of Shuyuan, our family, without you, we are one less family! ”

"yes...... We are family......" he lowered his head and whispered, and suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "so the family will never be separated, and Madame cannot leave us." ”

"Yes, I will not leave you." I raised my left hand and wanted to touch his face, but found that on my wrist, it was the bracelet of Lige, which was the last holy relic of the Huofeng clan......

The gems on the bracelet emitted a faint dark light, and the bracelet was still the original bracelet, but this time when I saw it, I felt different. Could it be that because I experienced the world of the Protoss, I felt the faint magic on the bracelet?

"Ma'am? Madam? What's wrong? Xiao Jiu held the arm I was looking at, I looked at the ancient bracelet, he seemed to understand my thoughts, and explained: "The masters think that wearing the love object they gave to Madame will make Madame turn around, and Madame's ears still carry the flying stars and nights of Master Xuanyuan and Master Qiu Yue." He let go of my hand and touched my ear.

I was a little confused, it seemed that I had just woken up, and I always felt that my mind was empty, and I didn't bother to think about anything. Seeing Xiao Jiu leaning in front of me because he touched my ears, and the long hair like ink was scattered in front of me, I lovingly picked up a bunch: "I didn't expect Xiao Jiu to be an adult too......"

"Madame......" he sighed and frowned above me, like a song of helplessness to me, "I'm really not a child anymore......"

"Yes......" I stroked the face that was in front of me at the moment, "but in the eyes of Madame, Xiao Jiu is still the same Xiao Jiu who loves to cry, make trouble, and love to climb trees......"

"Madame!" seems to have talked about the troubles of childhood, Xiao Jiu's face suddenly flushed, and that expression was like a cramped crane back then.

I saw their shadows in Xiao Jiu's body, yes, he was their apprentice.

"Madame......" Xiao Jiu slowly leaned down and fell on top of me, just like a long, long time ago, he liked to hug my body, and then buried his face in my body without a sound, at that moment, I was thinking, he just wanted a mother's embrace.

"Xiao Jiu...... You're going to make me feel older......" I stroked the long hair on his back, Xiao Jiu is almost eighteen, so what about me?

Slowly remembering why I was in a coma, it seemed to be the Mid-Autumn Festival that day, it should have been last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone was talking and somehow, they began to expose each other, and then the eight husbands began to "quarrel." Then the children did the same, and the yard was full of noise, and I hid in the arms of the mirror, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

At that time, I just wanted to escape a little, but I didn't expect this escape, but instead I returned to the original world, and the eight men there were almost inextricably linked.

In fact, as long as I don't go back, then won't they in that world be safe? yes, it's better for me to stay here, but I'm sorry Mingyu......

Then I'll be here, be nice to Mingyu, as compensation.

"Madame is not old, not old at all." Xiao Jiu said softly on my body, "Master Jing said that it should be the relationship of Bingluo, so Mrs. does not look old."

By the way, now Xiao Lei is getting more and more powerful, but she will not transform, Master Qiu Yue said that it should be Xiao Lei who has completely absorbed the ice spirit. Xiao Lei doesn't need any of us to protect her anymore, she is better than any of us now, she always says that there are children in the yard, so she always runs out now, especially after learning about the affairs of the Shadow Palace with Master Qiu Yue. ”

"Yes...... She...... There is her calamity......"

"Master Jing also said so, he also said that Xiaolei is a fairy, so we don't have to worry about her, he said so, Master Qiu Yue is proud, because the fairy was born by him."

Qiu Yue is still like this, after so many years, it seems that the people in Shuyuan have not changed, why? Qiu Yue did not become more mature because she had a child, but on the contrary, she inherited her domineering personality on Xiaolei.

I can't help but close my eyes slowly, really, very tired.
