“Big Sister Little Lan, this is your portion.” Xia Yi rose onto his tiptoes and carefully handed the wooden tray holding bread and cream soup to Little Lan, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
“Thank you.”
Xia Yi watched Little Lan accept the bread and cream soup with open curiosity.
He really liked watching Little Lan eat.
Little Lan could already take human form now… though even after transforming, she still had obvious slime-like traits. Her entire body looked like semi-transparent blue gel.
In her current form, Little Lan vaguely resembled Mo Lini—like Mo Lini when she had been thirteen or fourteen.
“Glug, glug, glug—”
Little Lan lifted the bowl and slowly poured the milky-white cream soup into her mouth. Xia Yi held his breath and widened his eyes. Once the thick soup flowed into Little Lan’s body, it began spreading slowly, like ink dropped into clear water. Countless tiny bubbles immediately rose to the surface with faint popping sounds, and soon the soup was digested, vanishing without a trace.
“Oh…” Xia Yi let out a gasp of amazement as he watched Little Lan drink the cream soup.
Little Lan picked up a piece of bread and carefully placed it in her mouth. In truth, it made no difference which part of her body food entered through. The bread slowly sank through her transparent body, its surface immediately covered in fine bubbles, as though countless invisible little hands were breaking it down and dissolving it bit by bit.
Although she had taken human form, Little Lan was still more like a humanoid slime.
The first time she transformed into this shape, Little Lan had continued crawling and wriggling along the floor, which had given Mo Lini quite a fright… It had taken several days to teach her how to walk.
After finishing her meal, Little Lan transformed again, returning to her round, chubby slime form before dropping into Mo Lini’s arms.
“Aunt Molini, can I borrow Big Sister Little Lan to play with?” Xia Yi tugged at Mo Lini’s clothes and pleaded with her, his eyes full of longing.
Xia Yi really liked Little Lan.
“Eat your meal first!” Mo Lini tapped Xia Yi lightly on the head with one finger, finally managing to summon a little adult authority.
“Oh…”
When Xia Lun and Aina walked over, Xia Yi immediately ran to them instead, pressing himself against his parents.
“That boy…” Liyana curled her lips as she watched the scene.
Compared with Aise when she had been little, Xia Yi was much more energetic. Liyana wondered who he had learned it from…
Wait. Surely he hadn’t learned it from her?
Liyana suddenly felt alarmed. After all, apart from Xia Lun and Aina, she was the one who spent the most time with Xia Yi…
No, no, probably not. If Xia Yi had learned it from her, he ought to be even more mischievous than he was now…
At that thought, Liyana slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Xia Yi nimbly squeezed into the gap between Xia Lun and Aina and was just about to sit down when Aina grabbed him by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and placed him beside herself.
“Xia Yi, from now on, you need to sit beside either your father or your mother. You can’t sit between us.” Aina reminded him as she straightened his slightly rumpled collar. “The two of us need to sit together.”
“Oh… Why, Mother?” Xia Yi asked, his big eyes filled with even bigger confusion.
“Because we’re husband and wife.” Aina tucked a loose strand of silver hair behind her ear and answered as though it were obvious. “Husbands and wives are supposed to sit together.”
“Then, Mother, where should I sit when you’re sitting on Father’s lap?” Xia Yi continued.
“You can sit on my lap.” Aina ruffled Xia Yi’s hair.
Xia Yi’s eyes lit up. “That sounds great.”
“We should be able to reach a new city today.” Xia Lun took a bite of bread. Aina promptly lifted the wooden bowl of hot soup to his lips, and he lowered his head to take a sip before continuing to study the map in his hand.
“Yay! We’re going into the city!” Xia Yi cheered.
“Does Xia Yi like big cities?” Aina asked with a smile as she watched her son bouncing with excitement.
“I do! Big cities are prosperous, and there are lots of things I’ve never seen before! And lots of people!” Xia Yi declared loudly. “But going on adventures outside with Father and Mother is fun too!”
“Then would you like to settle down in a city?” Xia Lun suddenly looked up and gazed gently at his son. “Actually, most people live in cities or towns. People like us, who spend every day adventuring outside, are in the minority.”
Xia Yi tilted his head, apparently working very hard to think through this complicated question. His gaze moved back and forth between his parents’ faces before he looked over at Liyana, who was gathering up the dishes, and Mo Lini, who was holding Little Lan.
At last, Xia Yi found his answer.
“I only want to be with Father and Mother! Oh, and Aunt Liyana and the others… and Big Sister Little Lan too!”
Xia Lun froze for a moment, then smiled softly.
“We’ll always be together.”
…
Sunlight streamed through scattered clouds, spilling over the slowly moving carriage. Xia Yi stood on the seat and eagerly leaned out through the window, curiously studying the outline of the city as it gradually came into view in the distance. A light breeze ruffled his soft black hair.
“Be careful not to fall out.” Aina gently caught hold of her son’s clothes.
“What tall city walls! Father, Mother, what are such tall walls for?” Xia Yi exclaimed, gripping the window frame tightly with his little hands.
“They’re used to defend against terrifying magical beasts,” Xia Lun explained.
“Those magical beasts may be scary, but they don’t seem very strong.” Xia Yi tilted his head. “Aunt Liyana can shoot right through them with one arrow.”
“That’s because your Aunt Liyana is very powerful. To ordinary people, those beasts are still extremely dangerous.” Xia Lun patiently explained it to Xia Yi as he reached over and pulled his son a little farther back into the carriage.
“Hmph!” Liyana puffed out her chest proudly when she heard that, then raised her eyebrows at Mo Lini and the others with a smug, self-satisfied look.
“Oh…” Xia Yi nodded as though he understood, though his attention soon drifted back toward the city walls drawing closer outside the window.
“Xia Yi, do you want Auntie to take you out to play once we enter the city?” Xia Yi’s words seemed to put Liyana in a good mood. “I’ll take you to buy some toys!”
“Okay!”
“But first, we need to find a church to recharge Uncle Musen, and then buy feed for Big Black,” Liyana added.
Big Black was the name of the earth dragon pulling the carriage.
After traveling with Xia Lun and the others for so long, it had grown somewhat attached to them. In the end, Xia Lun had given it a name.
Aina had also fed it some good things to improve its constitution… According to Aina, it was all to help it travel faster.
“No problem!” This did nothing to dampen Xia Yi’s enthusiasm. “What about Father and Mother?”
“You’re coming with me to play.” Liyana pulled Xia Yi over. “They’re going to find an inn, of course… You know, the place where we’ll stay tonight…”
