He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Jiang Xuange didn't want to trouble Siyun anymore, as Siyun had already suffered too much because of her.

Last time, Si Yun's spiritual veins were almost damaged in order to help her stop Su Qingluan.

She thought of Siyun's honest and simple appearance, and a pang of guilt welled up in her heart.

......

Half an hour later, in the alley in front of the inn, Siyun was squatting on the stone steps, holding a string of bright red candied hawthorns in her hand, nibbling on them little by little.

She stared blankly at the carriage gradually disappearing into the distance in the sky.

He looked down at the heavy storage bag in his hand, which contained a pile of spirit stones and pills given to him by Jiang Xuange.

Because Jiang Xuange had placed a bunch of restrictions and formations in the next room, she had no idea what was happening.

Just moments ago, she was humming a little tune and munching on snacks in her room.

When he saw Jiang Xuange and Su Qingluan emerge, looking battered and exhausted, he received the news that he had been dumped.

Siyun, with her cheeks bulging, scratched her head in a slightly bewildered manner as she bit into a candied hawthorn.

"So, I've just been abandoned like this?"

"A sister who prioritizes romance over friendship!"

"I will never care about her again!"

As Siyun spoke, she angrily finished eating the candied hawthorn in her hand.

......

Inside the carriage, looking at Xu Yi, whose eyes were still vacant, Su Qingluan felt somewhat irritable and helpless.

Normally, if he ignores someone, he'll at least frown or give them a sour look, but now he won't even glance at them.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently scratched Xu Yi's stomach.

The gestures were clumsy yet affectionate, hoping to make him laugh, but this time it didn't work at all.

Jiang Xuange tried a gentler approach. She sat down next to Xu Yi and coaxed him softly and gently, but it still didn't work.

Seeing Xu Yi's unyielding attitude, Su Qingluan pursed her red lips, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her phoenix eyes, but it was quickly replaced by helplessness.

She gently hugged Xu Yi and whispered in his ear.

"Since you're ignoring me, I'll just have to raise you like a child forever..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yi's figure began to shrink little by little, eventually turning back into a chubby little boy of two or three years old, wearing a small brocade robe with a round face.

Xu Yi was about to break down, his cheeks puffed out slightly, but he still forced himself to remain expressionless.

He needs to see that the two of them have truly stopped arguing and fighting before he can compromise so easily.

Jiang Xuange stared blankly at Xu Yi, who was curled up in a ball, a soft ripple of emotion welling up in her heart. Xu Yi was so adorable as a child...

No, that's not right, I shouldn't be thinking about these things.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to suppress the pounding in her heart.

The most important thing now is to get Xu Yi back to normal.

Watching Xu Yi's face being constantly rubbed by Su Qingluan, Jiang Xuange felt an irresistible itch in her heart.

She slowly reached out and carefully poked his little hand.

Xu Yi's hand was chubby, like a small steamed bun, and it moved slightly when she poked it.

Seeing this, Su Qingluan glared at her with displeasure, but did not stop her. She simply hugged the miniature Xu Yi even tighter, as if protecting a precious treasure.

Xu Yi couldn't take it anymore, being rubbed and poked by the two of them.

"You two bastards, let go of my hand..."

Upon hearing Xu Yi's voice, Su Qingluan was first taken aback, then a bright smile curved her red lips, her tone carrying a hint of mockery.

"Huh? Who just spoke?"

Jiang Xuange's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled. She quickly stepped forward, grasped Xu Yi's chubby little hand, and her voice was full of joy.

"Xu Yi...you've finally spoken up."

Xu Yi frowned, lowered his head, and ignored the two of them.

Seeing his expression, Su Qingluan was in a great mood. She picked up a crystal-clear grape and compared it to Xu Yi's hand.

Su Qingluan looked at his chubby fingers and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Look, your little hands are even fatter than grapes!"

As she spoke, she gently brushed her fingertips against his fingertips.

Jiang Xuange took a delicate osmanthus cake from the food box, carefully broke off a small piece, and offered it to Xu Yi's mouth.

Watching Xu Yi eat in small bites, Jiang Xuange felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Feeding a child is surprisingly interesting, mainly because the child is Xu Yi.

Seeing this, Su Qingluan peeled a grape, held it to Xu Yi's lips, and shook it.

"Since you've eaten hers, you'll have to eat mine too."

Seeing Xu Yi obediently eat the grapes, Su Qingluan felt a surge of joy and couldn't help but lower her head and kiss his soft little face twice.

A cool, red lipstick was pressed against his cheek, leaving two faint red marks.

After a while, Xu Yi, feeling stuffed, leaned against Su Qingluan's ample chest, let out a burp, and spoke again.

"You hiccup...turn me back."

Su Qingluan raised an eyebrow, feigning deep thought, and then slowly began to speak.

"You want to change back? Then let's go with the majority. Raise your hand if you agree that Xu Yi should change back."

After saying that, she immediately sent a threatening message to Jiang Xuange, her voice icy cold.

"If you dare raise your hand, I will do it myself..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xuange interrupted him with telepathic communication.

"Don't keep threatening me. I wasn't planning on raising my hand in the first place."

In the end, only Xu Yi raised his hand in the carriage.

Su Qingluan shrugged regretfully, a playful smile curving her red lips.

"Sigh... two to one, you lost."

Her fingertips slowly traced the top of Xu Yi's head, the movement carrying a hint of doting affection.

Xu Yi was furious. He struggled to move his round body to face Su Qingluan and punched her taut abs.

Then he shifted his body and turned back, saying something with his back to them.

"You two perverts..."

Su Qingluan chuckled at his appearance.

......

Back in the palace, Su Qingluan finally decided to change Xu Yi back to his original form, but she still felt a little disappointed.

Xu Yi rubbed his slightly sore shoulders and walked towards the sleeping quarters.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuange quickly followed, her steps hurried, afraid of losing him.

With quick reflexes, Su Qingluan picked up her gilded folding fan and gently blocked her path.

She pointed to a side hall in the distance, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery.

"Why are you running towards my room? Your room is over there."

Jiang Xuange stopped and turned to look at Su Qingluan, her eyes filled with determination.

"Really, I really don't want to argue with you. I'm not comfortable leaving Xu Yi in his current state to you alone."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi paused in his steps. He turned back to look at the two locked in a stalemate, his voice tinged with weariness.

Are you two going to start arguing again?

The two instantly put on smiles, and the hostility and determination on their faces vanished without a trace.

Su Qingluan closed her fan, her tone gentle.

"How could that be? Xu Yi, you're overthinking it."

"Yes, yes, that's right."
