Ming Lou respectfully shook his head and quickly ran off.
Sui You watched his retreating back with a cold snort, haughtily lifting her chin, and said to the others, "Let's go."
Only then did Qi Yu and the others scurry along behind, quickly following.
Back in the room, Qi Yu looked up at Sui You, who had been walking ahead all along, and unexpectedly compared their heights, saying, "Senior Brother Sui You, is it my illusion? I feel like you've grown quite a bit taller after this rebirth."
Before, she could reach Sui You's shoulders, but now she only reached his chest.
For a moment, Qi Yu even began to suspect if she herself had shrunk.
She looked around.
Yue Zhiyin, Sui You, Qi Yan, Ming Lou, Si Qing, plus Feng Mingqi, the Four Directions Ancestral Dragon, and her father, all of them were a shoulder and a head taller than her.
Among the girls, she and Feng Yunzui were tied for second. While not the shortest, everyone else was taller than them.
The more Qi Yu thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became. She turned to look at Si Qing, her gaze fiercely fixed on him.
Si Qing had no idea what he had done wrong to be looked at like that by his elder sister. He was momentarily bewildered, "Elder Sister, what's wrong with me now? Where did I offend you? Weren't we just talking about Senior Brother Sui You being taller than you?"
Why had the resentment inexplicably shifted to him?
"Because I suddenly realized something. Why are all of you, every single one, so much taller than me?" Qi Yu pouted. "Feng Yunzui is still the best, about the same height as me now."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and finally fell into silence.
Feng Mingqi tried to change the subject, "Actually, height, emmm, I don't think it's that important. What do you think, Yue Zhiyin?"
Yue Zhiyin nodded vigorously.
In fact, when they were all dragons before, he didn't understand why Qi Yu was so small.
Si Qing and Qi Yu had grown up together, they were born of the same mother, so why was Qi Yu so small?
Not to mention Qi Yu growing as tall as Si Qing.
But it was impossible for them to be so different.
Yue Zhiyin thought this in his heart but dared not say it aloud, fearing he might step on Qi Yu's sensitive spot regarding her height.
Si Qing cleared his throat and quickly spoke to change the subject, comforting Qi Yu, "Elder Sister, height isn't really that important. After all, you can use magic."
Height had its ups and downs, but for magic, it was all the same.
Even if one became taller than the sky, as long as the magic was in place, it could be achieved.
Moreover, Qi Yu was the Heavenly Dao.
How could the Heavenly Dao have height problems? This was certainly not an issue!
Qi Yu stared at Si Qing.
Si Qing looked obedient.
Ming Lou slung an arm around Qi Yu's neck, "Little Junior Sister, I really don't think height matters. Even if you're a bit shorter, what of it? It's no big deal."
"Little Heavenly Dao should be this cute."
Qi Yu looked at Ming Lou and smiled.
The next moment, she suddenly pushed his arm away, raised her hand, and summoned heavenly lightning.
Seeing the rumbling dark clouds overhead, Ming Lou immediately turned and fled.
Qi Yu snorted, turned back into the room, and then, facing the mirror hanging on the wall, stood on her tiptoes, "I'm going to use magic to make myself a bit taller."
She felt that what Si Qing had just said made a lot of sense; magic could solve this problem.
Anything that could be solved with magic was not a problem!
As Qi Yu spoke, she raised her hand and gently touched the top of her head, then chanted.
Before long, under Si Qing's puzzled gaze, Qi Yu had grown considerably taller.
Si Qing had originally thought that Qi Yu's sudden growth spurt might make her look strange, perhaps uncoordinated.
But to his surprise, after Qi Yu used magic to increase her height, her limbs did not feel uncoordinated at all, nor did her neck seem too long. Instead, she appeared even more slender.
"...She looks prettier?" Si Qing said, suspiciously.
"What are you saying? Was I not pretty before?" Qi Yu lifted her chin.
Qi Nian, who had been covering her face all this time, felt Qi Yu was even cuter when she heard her say this. She couldn't help but walk over and hug her:
"You look good no matter how you look, alright?"
Qi Yu nuzzled into Qi Nian's embrace.
Beside her legs was a very large cloth bag, which her clone had helped pack. It was filled with the shed down feathers of Sui You.
Qi Nian released Qi Yu.
Qi Yu hoisted the large cloth bag onto her shoulder and handed it to the heavenly soldiers waiting outside. She then turned and rubbed her hands together, negotiating with Sui You, "After your rebirth, your feathers are all very beautiful. Can you transform back and take me back? I want to see if there's any significant difference between you before and after your rebirth."
This excuse was too flimsy. It was clearly Qi Yu trying to continue touching Sui You's feathers.
Si Qing looked at Qi Yu with an expression that said, "I've seen through you."
Qi Yu didn't care. She still stared at Sui You with a furtive gaze.
Her face was full of anticipation.
Sui You indulged Qi Yu far too much.
As soon as he heard Qi Yu's request, he agreed almost without thinking. After leaving the room, he directly transformed into his original form, lowered his wings, and offered his back to Qi Yu.
After Qi Yu willingly climbed on, he even remembered to soar around a couple of times.
Si Qing silently watched the direction Sui You was soaring. After a while, he looked at Feng Mingqi and Yue Zhiyin and said sincerely, "Do you guys feel like Senior Brother Sui You is really biased?"
Of the many of them, Senior Brother Sui You seemed to dislike everyone.
Only when facing Qi Yu, Senior Brother Sui You not only didn't dislike her but also agreed to everything she asked.
Si Qing's words were met with silence from everyone.
Who could say they weren't?
But they were all used to it.
Sigh.
