"Little Koi Fish?"
Liu Nanfeng looked at the cawing and gesturing creature with amusement and asked.
Upon hearing this, Gugu nodded quickly, then wiped its forehead as if saying, "Talking to you is so tiring."
"You mean you want Little Koi Fish to play with you, right?"
Gugu nodded eagerly.
"Not for the next few days," Liu Nanfeng said.
He then couldn't help but frown, wondering when Little Koi Fish would finally wake up.
"Little Koi Fish hasn't woken up yet?" Su Jinxiu, holding Little Jin Hua and feeding her, asked immediately upon hearing this.
Liu Nanfeng had told her about Little Koi Fish before, so she was aware of the situation.
"No, not yet," Liu Nanfeng replied with some concern.
"Could something have happened?"
"I don't know."
Su Jinxiu thought for a moment, then looked down at her daughter happily drinking milk in her arms. She looked up and said, "Then you should go and see her. I hope nothing has gone wrong."
"Okay, I will."
"Gugu?" Gugu was confused nearby, not knowing what was happening.
"Little Koi Fish ate too much recently and is currently... hibernating."
Liu Nanfeng made a sleeping gesture. To his surprise, Gugu believed him and showed a hint of disappointment.
Liu Nanfeng patted Gugu's small head and asked with a smile, "How has your cultivation been recently? You need to work hard too."
Upon hearing this, Gugu immediately put its hands on its hips, looking full of pride.
"Looking at you like this, have you made some progress?" Liu Nanfeng asked, somewhat surprised.
"Of course! Gugu is very smart and has good aptitude. She learns what I teach her very quickly," Su Jinxiu also praised from the side.
Liu Nanfeng soon witnessed the results of Gugu's recent studies.
The wings that Gugu had folded away suddenly appeared on its back. Then, it spread its wings and slowly flew into the sky.
However, it didn't flap its wings. It was unclear whether it was using buoyancy or some other technique to fly directly like that.
Countless rays of light flowed across the pair of pure white wings on its back. If one looked closely, one could see tiny runes flowing on them, and the light bathed it in a golden hue, making it look incredibly sacred.
"This truly resembles an angel," Liu Nanfeng couldn't help but exclaim.
"Gugu is an angel," Su Jinxiu said with a smile.
"Abba... Abba... Gugu... Gugu..." Little Jin Hua also noticed, reaching out with her small paws towards the sky.
Gugu's performance was not yet over. It spread its arms, and a gust of wind arose from nowhere, swirling around its body. The blue wind was visible to the naked eye, pressing down the tips of the trees and flattening the flower stems, with fierce winds raging.
Its hair swayed in the air with the wind. It flew through the air, soaring and dipping.
However, Liu Nanfeng soon noticed something was amiss.
Because Gugu's figure, as it danced in the air, flickered in and out of existence. It was on the left, then suddenly appeared on the right; it was on the right, then suddenly appeared on the left.
In short, it looked very strange. Liu Nanfeng knew it wasn't teleportation, nor blink, nor any other visual illusion caused by excessive speed.
It truly disappeared and then reappeared out of nowhere, a bit like spatial translocation.
Divine light flared in Liu Nanfeng's eyes, and everything in the world was reflected in his pupils, with no secrets hidden.
Then he discovered that in the sky, there wasn't just one Gugu, but countless Gugu.
Liu Nanfeng's mouth fell open in astonishment at this phenomenon. It was the first time he had witnessed such a peculiar sight.
But he quickly recovered.
Because the Gugu figures in the sky, each one was like a sculpture. Although agile, they all maintained a fixed posture. Only one moved among them, a bit like the five-poisoned little girl he had met today, using butterfly evasion.
But although it seemed similar, it was vastly different, because each Gugu in the sky was its true self, but all in the same timeline, at different points in time.
And Gugu was evading along this timeline. The places it appeared were places it had flown through before.
"Truly remarkable, and truly... a stroke of genius," Liu Nanfeng said with emotion.
He didn't know how to describe it.
"Oh? You can actually see it?" Su Jinxiu asked in surprise from the side.
It had taken her a long time to discover Gugu's secret, and she hadn't expected Liu Nanfeng to see it at a glance.
"Of course. In my eyes, the world holds no secrets."
Saying this, he cast his gaze upon Su Jinxiu, feigning a look of surprise.
He had observed Su Jinxiu before. The strongest thing within her body was her skeletal structure, each bone as clear as jade, incredibly beautiful. Her nickname, White Bone Demon, came from this and was her foundation.
And now, golden threads were growing on those crystal-like bones, making them even more powerful and sacred...
"What is it?" Su Jinxiu asked with a half-smile.
"You've become stronger," Liu Nanfeng sighed.
"Isn't that how it should be?" Su Jinxiu replied as if it were a matter of course.
Liu Nanfeng almost didn't want to talk to her; her progress was too rapid.
Just now, right before his eyes, Su Jinxiu had achieved enlightenment in the Perfected True Intent.
He was somewhat dazed. He saw the three of them run around the flowerbed, and she achieved enlightenment in the Perfected True Intent, perfecting the Moon's Wax and Wane True Method that she had previously comprehended. It was truly unreasonable.
Meanwhile, Gugu, seeing Liu Nanfeng talking to Su Jinxiu from the sky, suddenly appeared before them, maintaining the posture it had at the beginning of its flight.
Observed up close, it was as if a motionless puppet suddenly came to life in that instant, truly magical.
Gugu tilted its head, looking expectantly at Liu Nanfeng.
It was clear that it was waiting for Liu Nanfeng's praise.
Liu Nanfeng felt that the little one, having spent so much time with Su Jinxiu, had become much more cheerful and sunny. She hadn't been like this before.
Of course, Liu Nanfeng was not stingy with his praise. He patted its small head and said with admiration, "Very good, truly excellent. I don't know how to describe it. It's just magical, very powerful."
"Gugu..."
Gugu showed a big smile, very happy.
"Gugu..."
Little Jin Hua, having finished her milk, heard Gugu's voice and immediately imitated it.
"Gugu..."
Gugu walked over, stuck its tongue out at Little Jin Hua.
"Ah puh puh puh..." Little Jin Hua, not to be outdone, spat saliva everywhere.
"Hahaha..."
Everyone laughed.
No, one person wasn't laughing and was extending her little hands, waving them erratically while saying "Abba, abba."
"Little Jin Hua, you need to grow up quickly."
Seeing the little one's seemingly anxious look, Liu Nanfeng picked her up and lifted her high.
"Let's fly too."
A gust of wind descended from the sky...
"Hehehe..."
