As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window into the wooden house, Jiang Zhen slowly opened his eyes.
The water element around him gradually dissipated, and the wisp of soul power condensed at his fingertips became more refined than before.
After a night of cultivation, not only did his soul power improve, but the sluggishness caused by the two high-limit soul rings was also greatly reduced.
He stood up, walked gently to the bedside, and looked at the still sleepingLittle Lan Xi .
Little Lan Xi lay on her side, half of her face buried in the pillow, only a small section of her fair neck showing.
Her long, blue-gold hair was a little messy, and her long eyelashes, like two small fans, trembled slightly from time to time.
Jiang Zhen couldn't help but reach out his fingertip and gently poke her soft cheek—the touch was like cotton candy, so soft it made his heart tremble.
Little Lan Xi frowned slightly when poked, muttered something, but didn't wake up. Instead, she shrank further under the covers, like a kitten afraid of the cold.
Jiang Zhen chuckled, didn't bother her any longer, and turned to go out to wash up.
The air outside was fresh, carrying the scent of dew and vegetation.
Jiang Zhen quickly washed his face by the stream and then took out another piece of Evil Spirit Orca meat—this time he chose the tenderer belly meat.
The meat was chopped into fine mince, then placed in a clay pot, some millet was added, spring water was poured in, and it was slowly simmered.
He precisely controlled the heat, keeping it just right so that the porridge would cook to a thick consistency.
Before long, a "bubbling" sound came from the earthenware pot, and the aroma of minced meat and rice porridge mixed together and wafted far away.
The door to the room creaked open, andLittle Lan Xi rubbed her eyes and came out. Her hair was still messy, and her clothes were wrinkled from sleeping, making her look like a little dumpling that had just woken up.
"Brother Zhen..."
She walked to Jiang Zhen's side, reached out and hugged his arm, and rubbed her little head against his shoulder.
"Awake?" Jiang Zhen looked down and touched her head. "The porridge will be ready soon. Go wash your face first."
Little Lan Xi nodded and ran to the prepared basin of water. She tried to wash her face with her hands, just like Jiang Zhen, but her movements were clumsy and she got her clothes a little wet.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen had no choice but to go over and help her clean it up again, and gently tidy up her messy hair—although it was still a bit messy, it was much better than before.
Do you want to learn how to comb your hair?
When the two returned to the earthenware pot, the porridge was already cooked.
Jiang Zhen ladled out a bowl, let it cool down a bit, and then handed it toLittle Lan Xi :
"Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."
The rice porridge was cooked until very thick, and the minced orca meat inside was stewed until it was soft and tender, melting in your mouth with a subtle umami flavor.
Little Lan Xi held the bowl, eating small bites with a spoon, occasionally glancing up at Jiang Zhen, her eyes curving into crescents.
After breakfast, Jiang Zhen tidied up the cabin and changedLittle Lan Xi into a clean light blue shirt.
It was similar to the previous one, a bit too big for Lan Xi , but this time he rolled up the sleeves and hem a few more times, so it fit him a little better.
"I'm taking you to Vast Sea City today to make you new clothes," he said as he buttoned upLittle Lan Xi 's clothes.
Little Lan Xi didn't understand what " Vast Sea City" meant, but when she heard "new clothes," her eyes lit up, and she asked in a low voice:
"New clothes...like Ah Zhen's, are they better?"
"Yes," Jiang Zhen nodded with a smile, "It's even better looking than my brother's."
When the two set off, the sun was already high in the sky.
Jiang Zhen heldLittle Lan Xi 's hand. Her hand was small and soft. She walked slowly and would occasionally be attracted by the little flowers by the roadside and stop to look at them for a while.
Jiang Zhen didn't urge her and waited patiently for her.
After walking for about an hour, the outline of Vast Sea City came into view.
The city gate was tall and there were many people coming and going, mostly Soul Masters or merchants.
Jiang Zhen heldLittle Lan Xi 's hand and carefully avoided the crowd, heading straight for the tailor shop they had visited before—the owner of that shop had good craftsmanship and the fabrics were also good; several of his clothes had been made there last time.
"Young Master Jiang has arrived?"
Jiang Zhen used to spend lavishly on clothes here, buying only the best quality items.
It made her think she had met a young nobleman.
The tailor shop owner, a woman who looked to be in her forties surnamed Wang, greeted Jiang Zhen warmly as he entered. Her gaze lingered onLittle Lan Xi for a moment, then she paused, "And this is…?"
"This is Lan Xi ."
Jiang Zhen explained, "I want to make her a few sets of clothes that fit her well."
Mr. Wang immediately understood and nodded with a smile: "No problem! The young lady is really pretty; she looks good in anything."
She took out a soft measuring tape, squatted down, and carefully measuredLittle Lan Xi 's size.
Lan Xi stared curiously at the soft ruler in Boss Wang's hand, occasionally blinking.
After taking the measurements, Boss Wang took out several bolts of fabric and placed them in front of Lan Xi : "Little girl, take a look, which color do you like?"
The fabric comes in several colors, including light blue, light cyan, and off-white, all of which are soft and breathable, making them perfect for children.
Lan Xi 's gaze immediately fell on the light blue fabric—the color matched her hair and eyes perfectly, much like the color of her true form, the Blue Silver Emperor.
"I want this one."
She pointed her little finger at the light blue fabric, her voice soft.
"Good eye!" Mr. Wang nodded with a smile. "This material is soft and comfortable to wear next to the skin."
He also selected two more outfits forLittle Lan Xi , one light blue and one beige, saying she could wear them alternately. Jiang Zhen had no objections, paid the deposit, and agreed to pick them up in three hours.
For the next three hours, Jiang Zhen took Lan Xi for a stroll around Vast Sea City.
He first took her to the snack street—the street was very lively, and the aroma of various snacks wafted far and wide.
Lan Xi 's eyes were glued to the view, pointing at the sugar painting one moment and staring at the candied hawthorn the next, her little mouth agape.
"Which one do you want to eat?" Jiang Zhen asked with a smile.
"that,"
Lan Xi pointed to the sugar painting—a craftsman was drawing small animals on a cutting board using melted sugar syrup.
There are little rabbits, little tigers, and little birds. After they are drawn, they are stuck on bamboo skewers. They are crystal clear, beautiful and delicious.
Jiang Zhen bought a sugar painting shaped like a rabbit and handed it toLittle Lan Xi .
She carefully took it, licked it first, and found it sweet with a hint of caramel flavor. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she ate it in small bites.
Jiang Zhen bought her another string of candied hawthorns—red hawthorns coated with a transparent sugar coating.Little Lan Xi took a bite, her little eyebrows furrowed from the sourness, but she couldn't help but keep eating, looking incredibly cute.
After having some snacks, Jiang Zhen took Lan Xi to see a play.
The stage was set up in the square, and the play was about a simple story—the story of a young soul master protecting the village. The plot was not complicated, and the actors' movements and expressions were very vivid.
Lan Xi was completely absorbed in the performance, her eyes glued to the stage. Occasionally, she would whisper to Jiang Zhen, "Is that brother a good person?"
"He's a good person," Jiang Zhen replied patiently. "He's protecting everyone."
Little Lan Xi nodded as if she understood, and continued watching. When she saw the little Soul Master defeat the bad guys, she would clap her hands quietly, her little face flushed, very excited.
