The little radish head watched her movements, his face full of confusion... What was the fairy doing? Why was she cleaning dust from these scribbles?
But soon, he also walked up and began cleaning dust together. Even though he didn't know why, he felt he couldn't just stand by and watch others work. This was his secret base, wasn't it?
Then...
"Ow! That hurts!"
Jin Bao'er heard the sound and looked over, her calm eyes widening in an instant! Full of disbelief!!
She saw that on the hand of the little radish head, the talismans imprinted on the wall seemed to come alive. They rapidly detached from the wall and moved down, flowing into his body along his small hand! Perhaps because of the speed, the little radish head didn't react in time and let out a cry of pain!
At the same time, the speed of the patterns visibly slowed down...
It was so cautious, as if afraid of hurting this little radish head!
Jin Bao'er: "..."
She had touched this talisman mark earlier too, hadn't she? And it hadn't reacted at all!!
The little radish head was completely dumbfounded! He stared blankly as the talismans drilled into his palm. Once he reacted, he screamed in fright, his voice echoing in the entire underground cave... exceptionally horrifying!
As if remembering something, he quickly turned to look at Jin Bao'er, his small eyes full of terrified tears, looking as if he had been scared silly...
Jin Bao'er walked over and, after hesitating, patted his head as if to comfort him, her voice as calm as possible.
"Don't be afraid, this is a good thing, and it's your destiny! It won't harm you!"
Perhaps it was her voice, which was rarely so gentle, or perhaps her palm was very kind and soft! The little radish head gradually became less afraid, raising his bright red little face and looking at her.
"Okay... I understand!"
In his heart: Ahhh! The fairy is so beautiful! And so gentle! Completely unlike Master's rough bear paw or Senior Brother's rude big hand!! I'm so happy, it would be even better if I could touch it a few more times!!
Jin Bao'er naturally didn't know what he was thinking. She was just carefully observing the talisman mark. Although she said that, who knew if this thing would have any negative effects on the little radish head! She should still be cautious.
At this moment, only half of the massive talisman marks on the wall remained! Perhaps sensing the little radish head's dependence and affection for Jin Bao'er, some of the talismans that had not yet entered his palm slightly lowered, playfully poked Jin Bao'er's arm, and then shyly recoiled...
Moreover, this movement was exactly the same as the little radish head's flushed face just now!
After Jin Bao'er's surprise, her heart stirred slightly! Seeing the talisman mark poke her again, she hesitantly extended her finger...
A inexplicable intuition told her that she should extend her finger and... touch it?
The next second...
The long talisman mark unhesitatingly met her fingertip! An image flashed in her mind, then disappeared... followed by a small talisman, similar to the previous one, appearing in her mind...
"Thank you!"
A hoarse, weary, yet gratified voice reached her ears. She suddenly came back to her senses, only to see the complete disappearance of the talisman mark!
Was the talisman speaking? Was it thanking her for clearing away the dust? Was the talisman in her mind a reward?
A few questions flashed through her mind, and she felt it was highly likely!
The little radish head also finally felt that power surging within him, a vast power that left him somewhat at a loss, yet felt incredibly familiar.
Then...
Jin Bao'er stood there and watched as the little radish head, who was about six years old, slowly grew taller, stopping only when he looked about ten years old.
Even though she had seen many miraculous things, she couldn't help but show surprise! She had never heard of any talisman that could make someone grow instantly! Although he had only grown by about four years.
The little radish head looked at Jin Bao'er, who was suddenly much shorter, and blinked... looking very innocent and bewildered.
Jin Bao'er: "..."
"Prepare yourself, you are about to advance to the Golden Core stage!"
Yes, a Golden Core at six years old... Heh heh! This is absolutely a favored child of Heaven... or rather! The Great Dao's favored son! Not to mention the mysterious talisman mark that voluntarily recognized him as its master...
The little radish head finally reacted. He looked himself up and down, then jumped up excitedly, displaying a rare childish innocence!
"I've grown! I've grown!"
At the same time...
"Rumble!!"
A thunderclap sounded!
Even though they were deep underground, the sound of the sky thunder rumbling outside was clearly audible! Although the heavenly tribulation for advancing to the Golden Core stage wasn't particularly fierce, it was still the first time he had endured heavenly tribulation, and tempering the body was inevitable! She decisively picked up the little radish head and rushed outside swiftly...
The little radish head in her arms was stunned, then happily hugged her back, feeling incredibly joyous! He hadn't expected his recent wish to come true so quickly! So happy, so happy!!
The fairy's embrace was so warm! Was this the legendary maternal affection? He liked it so much!!
Just as he was excitedly happy, the surroundings suddenly lit up, and they were out! Before he could feel disappointed, the arms holding him directly threw him out...
That's right! Threw him out!
Little radish head: "..."
Fairy sister, what happened to benevolence and beauty?
He's still young, is such rough handling appropriate?
The next second! The heavenly law seemed to sense his distraction and, with great displeasure, flashed a sharp white light!
"Rumble!!"
The sound followed immediately! It struck directly on his head...
Jin Bao'er breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was just in time!
The little radish head, who had been struck: !!!
So... love can disappear, right?
The thunder tribulation of the Golden Core stage came and went quickly. The sky barely changed color before returning to its original state.
When Jin Bao'er walked over, the little radish head was smoking black, his hair slightly exploded, and his already ordinary clothes had been blown away. He stood there naked, pathetic and laughable!
She was about to reach out to clean him when she met a pair of resentful, wronged eyes, and her hand froze...
"Ahem... Congratulations! You've advanced to the Golden Core stage!"
The little radish head sighed. Although he was precocious, he was still a child. Why was Fairy Sister so indifferent!
Fortunately, this mountain was sparsely populated, and Sect Leader Chu Tianlin was currently forging artifacts, completely engrossed and unable to extricate himself! And the only Senior Brother was out buying groceries and wouldn't be back for a while. So, only Jin Bao'er saw the little radish head in this state.
When he came out after changing his clothes, Jin Bao'er was also preparing to return to her room to study the talisman in her mind...
"Fairy..."
A voice sounded. She turned back, her eyes slightly confused!
She saw the young boy looking slightly embarrassed, but his tone was very steady.
"I... My name is Chu Tiancai!"
