Annuo's words were initially casual.
But Shaofeng, who was almost asleep, suddenly opened her eyes: "Hearing you say that, it is indeed strange. I remember Jingxiu used to be a very sensible child, even to the point of being a bit reclusive. But lately, she seems to be clinging to you."
Annuo was feeling sleepy, mumbling: "Mm, it's true, I feel quite uncomfortable. After all, I remember she wasn't this enthusiastic before... At first, I thought it might be because she was punished, but later..."
Annuo's voice grew softer and softer, and she finally fell asleep.
"Goodnight," Shaofeng kissed her forehead and held her as they drifted off to sleep.
The next day.
When Qi Yu opened her eyes again, it was already broad daylight.
She wound herself around Si Qing's body, nuzzling her head, lazily sprawled there, unwilling to get up.
"Get up and eat breakfast," Si Qing transformed into her human form and jumped off the bed.
"I don't want to move," Qi Yu leaned back lazily, narrowing her eyes: "Hurry and carry me over."
Si Qing rolled her eyes, grabbed Qi Yu, who was coiled around her head, and took her to wash up, then trotted outside.
"You're awake," Annuo was humming a tune and painting: "Do you want breakfast? Your Shizun and the others are already up."
"Yes," Si Qing responded and quickly went over.
At the table, Yan Hua and Chen Xi were quietly drinking tea. Jin Yan sat on top of both of them, also drinking tea. However, while drinking, he pointed at a book and cursed at Jingxiu beside him:
"They say the day's work starts in the morning. Are you a pig's brain? You've been trying to memorize these incantations and mental techniques for ages and still haven't got them."
Ling Ruo, used to being scolded, had lost the will to resist. Like a walking corpse, she sat there silently.
Chen Xi covered his ears with both hands: "Jin Yan, when you curse, can you be a bit quieter and consider others sitting nearby? Your disciple is indeed a pig's brain."
If she weren't a pig's brain, she wouldn't have lasted this long.
"..." Jin Yan glared at him, withdrew his gaze, and patted Jingxiu's head: "Go and memorize it!"
Chu Xian, who had been standing beside the West Sea Dragon King and his wife, watched with trembling fear.
Seeing Jin Yan look in her direction, Chu Xian quickly picked up the textbook on the table to hide her face.
Only after Jin Yan got up and left did Chu Xian breathe a sigh of relief, then she whispered to Qi Yu: "I always felt it was a pity that the inheritance didn't activate. Now that I think about it, I feel lucky it didn't activate, otherwise, it would have cost me half my life."
"Half a life? One life wouldn't be enough, Chu Xian. With your current state, if the inheritance had truly activated, it wouldn't take half your life to deal with it, but rather eighteen lives wouldn't be enough for Lord Jin Yan to beat you." Si Qing quipped.
Qi Yu, still in her form as a little white dragon, rested her chin on Si Qing's hand and nodded lazily: "Chu Xian, thinking about it now, it doesn't seem like a bad thing that you can't memorize the Three Character Classic no matter what."
Chu Xian nodded with teary eyes.
Annuo walked over, about to sit down. Seeing Jingxiu looking at her expectantly, she suddenly seemed to remember something and casually asked Jingxiu:
"By the way, Jingxiu, what level did you unlock your inherited magic to?"
Ling Ruo stared at Jingxiu's shell. Upon hearing this, her palms tightened and her mind went blank.
What level did she unlock her inherited magic to?
What did this question mean?
She hadn't fully integrated the original Jingxiu's memories yet and didn't understand.
Besides, they all talked about inheritance. The original host's memories also contained something called inherited magic, but why couldn't she see anything...
