Chen Xi looked at Qi Yu in surprise, "It's about calling Si Qing gege, ah, didn't Si Qing tell you everything? We all thought you'd remember."
Qi Yu immediately turned her head to look at Si Qing, who was tiptoeing away beside them.
Si Qing felt Qi Yu's fierce gaze and guiltily tugged at the corner of his mouth.
As if sensing Qi Yu's anger, the sky began to turn from clear to cloudy, darkening ominously.
Si Qing quickly raised his hands, "This isn't my fault, okay? That dream you mentioned earlier wasn't a dream, it was real. But I'm truly innocent. I didn't force you to call me gege. You called me gege yourself back then, and you even hugged my leg and acted spoiled. What could I have done?"
"Exactly, it's okay, don't blame him," Chen Xi added fuel to the fire, "Qi Yu, Si Qing just did many things that younger brothers wouldn't dare to do. Such things are unavoidable."
Qi Yu looked at Si Qing and beckoned him over, "You little brat, are you trying to rebel? You'd agree if I called you gege? Then if I called you baba, you'd be a generation below me!"
Si Qing muttered softly, "This isn't my fault either. If you really called me baba, I wouldn't refuse, right? After all, you were so small and pitiful back then."
Hearing this, Qi Yu's smile vanished. The next moment, a thunderclap struck at Si Qing's feet.
Si Qing let out a yelp of surprise and quickly turned to run.
As he ran, the thunder from the sky chased after him.
Si Qing huffed, "Jiejie, don't you think this is a bit of an abuse of power? Who does things like this? As the Heavenly Dao, you should uphold justice impartially."
"If you don't say it, and I don't say it, who will know? Besides, I'm just striking you today," Qi Yu said, making hand gestures to guide the heavenly lightning to chase and strike Si Qing.
However, the commotion was so great that many people in the Three Realms noticed.
Feng Mingxi, who was busy working in the Demon Realm, peeked out the window and saw a bolt of heavenly lightning continuously bombarding a specific spot in the sky.
He stared in astonishment.
Nearby demons whispered, "Which unlucky soul is getting struck by lightning like this?"
"This heavenly lightning is quite something, chasing him relentlessly. What heinous deed must he have committed?"
"Hahaha."
A group of demons stood behind Feng Mingxi, chattering and laughing.
Within the Northern Sea.
Yue Zhiyin, watching the heavenly lightning strike down and bombard continuously, couldn't help but want to laugh.
This scene clearly indicated that Qi Yu was angry.
He guessed the reason for her anger was likely related to the "calling gege" incident.
Thinking of this, Yue Zhiyin couldn't help but recall that he had already shed the burden of being the Heavenly Emperor.
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh.
"Ah, today is a good day~" Yue Zhiyin hummed a little tune, holding a watering can, preparing to water the flowers in the garden and then return to the North Sea Dragon Palace to handle some minor matters.
Sui You, standing within the Phoenix Clan territory, also looked curiously at the bolt of heavenly lightning striking down, wondering which unlucky fellow was so miserable.
At the same time.
The unlucky Si Qing had been enduring lightning strikes for nearly half an hour.
Yan Hua and Chen Xi's attitudes had shifted from amusement to leisurely watching the show.
Chen Xi watched Si Qing's disheveled escape and couldn't help but say, "If you ask me, you should stop hiding. You've been hiding for half an hour, and this can't go on. Qi Yu just wants to strike you with lightning a few times, so let her."
"You talk about 'forever.' Why don't you come and take the lightning strikes for me?" Si Qing ran, panting, and finally could only shield himself and beg for mercy from Qi Yu, "Jie, I was wrong, Jie. No, you're my gege, okay? You're my baba, okay?"
"That's definitely not okay," Yan Hua said from the side, cracking melon seeds, "If you consider her your baba, have you asked your mama?"
Qi Yu, who was still angry, was amused by this remark and burst out laughing.
Si Qing, caught off guard by Yan Hua's words, dodged too late and was struck by lightning, his hair turning into an explosion.
"Alright, I've finally vented my anger."
Qi Yu rolled up her sleeves, let out a long sigh, and looked at the scorched, sunflower-haired Si Qing, snorting coldly at him, "Still want to be my gege? You have no hope in this lifetime. Just be a younger brother."
Si Qing wiped his face, black smoke puffing from his mouth, and glared at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi felt a chill and a desire to laugh at his gaze, backing away while dodging, "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't know you hadn't told her. If you had told me earlier that you hadn't told her, I wouldn't have said anything."
"...All in all, it's still your fault. I had already..." Si Qing paused, secretly glancing at Qi Yu not far away.
Seeing that Qi Yu didn't react, he continued to bombard Chen Xi, "I had already managed to smooth things over, and not long after, you dug it up again."
Chen Xi laughed so hard he squatted on the ground, clutching his stomach.
He truly hadn't done it on purpose this time.
Yan Hua couldn't help but speak up for Chen Xi, "You can't blame Chen Xi for this, Si Qing. When you were enjoying Qi Yu calling you gege with a clear conscience, you should have known this day would come."
Si Qing looked utterly dejected.
Qi Yu rolled up her sleeves and walked over.
Seeing Qi Yu's movement, Si Qing immediately retreated several steps, his face showing a defensive expression:
"Jie, what do you want to do to me now? Haven't you already used heavenly lightning? What else do you want? You've been striking me for half an hour, can you let me go now? My true form is still working for you on the 13th heaven!"
"What are you thinking? Am I the type to resort to violence?" Qi Yu said, then flashed Si Qing a smiling expression, "I'm here to comb your hair."
Si Qing looked at the steel comb that had mysteriously appeared in Qi Yu's hand and swallowed.
"Jie, why don't you just strike me again?"
