Chapter 348 My Unfortunate Senior Brother
After taking a few pills, Yu Changsheng could clearly feel that the purple child's attitude towards him had softened considerably. The little face that had been rubbing against him relaxed a bit, and although there was still some wariness in his eyes, it had lessened considerably.
"Sure enough, it's just teasing a kid. Giving him candy will do the trick."
Yu Changsheng sighed inwardly, chuckled, and, taking advantage of the little purple child's inattention, gently pinched the child's right cheek, causing the child to glare at him fiercely, pouting, but saying nothing.
The saying "He who takes a man's gift is bound to him, and he who eats another man's food is bound to him" applies to children as well.
As Yu Changsheng pondered, many things came to mind.
"This Spirit Transformation Purple Bamboo Spirit is clearly a special existence in this Purple Bamboo Forest, protected by this Purple Bamboo Forest. Although its strength is only comparable to the late Golden Core stage, I should be able to win."
"But..." Yu Changsheng's thoughts stirred. He glanced at the seemingly harmless purple-faced child without making a sound, then took out two more pills and handed them to him before letting out a deep breath.
"But if I really had any ideas about it, I'm afraid this bamboo forest would go berserk in an instant, and I would probably die a terrible death then."
Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng glanced at the surrounding purple bamboo forest again without showing any emotion, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Therefore, we can't use a hard approach; we have to use a soft one."
Yu Changsheng knew that this purple bamboo forest actually possessed sentience. The most common purple bamboo was also the greatest threat in this Purple Bamboo Mountain because there were simply too many of them.
These purple bamboos can eat people. Although for some reason they haven't been hostile to me yet, allowing me to get here unimpeded, things will be different if I make any moves against this purple child.
Thinking of all this, Yu Changsheng gently shook his head, a more amiable smile appearing on his face. Suppressing the heartache in his heart, he fed the purple-haired child pills while trying to appear calm and speaking softly:
"You've already taken so many of my pills, little one. How about this: you let me stay with you for a while, and I'll open up a place for you. Then, I'll give you lots more pills, okay?"
Yu Changsheng said softly, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He looked exactly like a child trafficker trying to trick children out of candy.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the purple child immediately jumped up warily, and with a wave of his hand, the purple bamboo that had been knocked away by Yu Changsheng flew into his hand, which he then pointed at Yu Changsheng warily.
A hint of displeasure appeared on her little face. She pouted and said angrily in her tender voice:
"You cunning human, don't think I don't know you're eyeing that Sword Cliff. Although I can't open the cave inside, I can't give it to you so easily."
Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, then felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples, waved the pill in his hand in front of the purple child's eyes, and said in a tempting tone:
"Since you know it can't be opened, what's the point of guarding it? Look, don't you think my pills taste good?"
The little purple child's gaze fell on the pill in Yu Changsheng's hand, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes. He swallowed hard without making a sound, struggled a little, but still shook his head firmly.
"No, this is mine, and no one can take it away."
After saying that, she glanced at Yu Changsheng, waved her hand to knock Yu Changsheng's hand holding the pill away, tilted her head and crossed her arms to look to the side, secretly observing Yu Changsheng out of the corner of her eye.
"You..."
Yu Changsheng's lips twitched, and he waved his hand helplessly. He felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, gritted his teeth, and slowly exhaled. A look of sorrow and anger appeared on his face as he spoke:
"That's not how it is! You may be cute, but you can't be unreasonable!"
Seeing that the purple-haired child was completely captivated by him, Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and continued:
"You say this is yours, how do you prove it?! In fact, this is the remains of my senior brother, who is my senior brother with the same master. You could say he's my own brother."
"It's only natural that you can't open this cave, because it was left to me by my senior brother. Without the key, you naturally can't open it."
Yu Changsheng puffed out his chest and looked straight into the eyes of the purple-haired child as he spoke, his face full of self-righteousness.
He was trying to reason with the little purple child, and to some extent, Yu Changsheng hadn't lied to him. Although this ruined cave wasn't specifically left for him, Cao Jinxian was indeed his senior brother.
"Senior brother? You're saying this was left by your senior brother?"
As expected, the purple-haired child was stunned upon hearing this, and stared at Yu Changsheng with a puzzled expression.
"right!"
Yu Changsheng patted his chest, making a solemn vow, then revealed a look of grief and indignation, pointing his finger at the purple child with a pained expression.
"And now, you won't even let me go in to see the place my senior brother left me. Although you're cute, kind, and a good kid, you can't just take advantage of me and bully me like this!"
"These are my senior brother's keepsakes. I didn't even get to see him one last time. Can't I even go and see what he left behind? How could this happen!"
Yu Changsheng's voice was tinged with tears, and the sorrow on his face became even more pronounced. He was so sincere and earnest that he reached out and rubbed his eyes. Suddenly, a tear silently rolled down his cheek.
In an instant, the smell was heartbreaking and the sound brought tears to my eyes.
His eyes were already bloodshot as he stared at the purple child. He gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but his expression was also tinged with concern. In the end, he only opened his mouth without speaking, but everything was understood without words.
Seeing Yu Changsheng's expression, the purple-haired child's conflicted look deepened. He tapped his fingertips together with his two small hands, gently pursed his lips, and suddenly opened his mouth, saying:
"Then...then..."
After a long pause, he looked into Yu Changsheng's eyes and uttered a complete sentence.
"Is what you're saying true?"
Yu Changsheng froze, his anger deepening, his face contorted with resentment and confusion. His brows furrowed, and he exhaled deeply, seemingly struggling to remain calm, before speaking in a low voice:
"What do you mean? Do you think I would joke about something like this? He's my senior brother! I, Yu Changsheng, swear to the heavens, with my own Dao heart as proof, if Cao Jinxian, the owner of this cave, isn't my senior brother, may I be struck by lightning and have my soul scattered to the winds!"
Yu Changsheng spoke angrily, his tone filled with sorrow, his face hardening. As he finished speaking, the grief in his eyes deepened. Looking at the purple-haired child, his expression suddenly deflated, and he waved his hand sadly, like a punctured balloon, and said with a bitter smile:
"Forget it, what's the use of saying all this? You wouldn't understand anyway. I'm really unlucky. It's my senior brother's cave, but I don't even have the chance to visit him."
As Yu Changsheng spoke, his nose twitched, and tears silently streamed down his face.
"It's such a pity. My senior brother and I were so close and affectionate. I never imagined that after being separated by death, I wouldn't even have the chance to visit your old place one last time."
"Waaah," Yu Changsheng sobbed softly, his voice muffled and his vision blurred, revealing only his true feelings.
"Senior brother, do you still remember the wonderful times when you taught your junior brother to practice swordsmanship step by step? Do you still remember the affection you showed me by tapping my hands, sleeping with me at night, and telling me stories? Do you still cherish the memories of when we played pranks on Master together, and when we were caught, you stood in front of me and said you would do it?"
Yu Changsheng spoke these words with such conviction, and his expression was so natural that it defied description. His expression was a mixture of longing and heartache, doubt and indignation, vivid and lifelike.
"Now, all I know is, junior brother, is how much I miss you. And you, do you miss me...?"
Tears streamed down Yu Changsheng's face, his eyes reddening. As he looked up at the sky, he wiped away his tears with his hand, secretly observing the purple child's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
As expected, the little purple-haired child looked conflicted, staring at Yu Changsheng with a flushed face. After a long while, he hurriedly wiped away Yu Changsheng's tears with his little hands.
"Okay, okay, I believe you. I'll let you go, I'll let you go, okay? Stop crying."
The little purple child spoke in a tender tone, tinged with anxiety, as he gently wiped away Yu Changsheng's tears. He gritted his teeth, took out the pills Yu Changsheng had given him from his sleeve, and handed them to Yu Changsheng.
"Don't cry, brother. Eat this. It's delicious."
Yu Changsheng was stunned. He sniffed, slowly wiping away his tears. A sly, triumphant glint flashed in his eyes, but he raised his head, smiled slightly at the purple-haired child, rubbed his head, and whispered:
"You can eat, I have more. I'm already very happy that you didn't kick me out. My senior brother in heaven would be happy too."
The little purple child looked conflicted, but still nodded. After thinking for a moment, he patted the purple bamboo in his hand, and in an instant, a drop of crystal-clear, luminous purple liquid slid out. The little purple child carefully scooped it up in his hand and handed it to Yu Changsheng.
At the same time, it was said crisply:
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
"This is delicious, give it to your brother, please don't cry, brother?"
His tone was comforting, and his small eyes sparkled; he acted like a little adult.
Yu Changsheng's brows relaxed completely, and he smiled brightly. He gently touched the purple child's cheek, and his gaze then fell on the purple liquid.
The purple liquid was taken from the purple bamboo in the purple child's arms. Yu Changsheng knew that the section of purple bamboo in the purple child's arms was the true body it was attached to.
And the Purple Bamboo Elixir, which can produce mutated spirits...
Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng swallowed silently, gently placed the purple liquid in his hand, hesitated slightly, and then, under the expectant gaze of the purple child, put it in his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Purple Spirit Liquid, huh..."
Yu Changsheng smacked his lips lightly. This Purple Spirit Liquid was sweet and icy. It slid down his throat as soon as it entered his mouth, like a jelly.
"Hmm~"
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but groan. He felt as if every bone in his body had been washed clean by the flow of the Purple Spirit Liquid. His soul was refreshed and clear, and a sense of comfort came from the inside out. It was like a long-awaited rain after a drought. His body instinctively craved it. Under this nourishment, both his physical body and soul had made certain progress.
A faint purple glow seeped through Yu Changsheng's skin, initially slowly receding, causing Yu Changsheng's body to tremble slightly.
After a long while, Yu Changsheng finally opened his eyes comfortably, stretched lazily, and felt a sudden surge of energy throughout his body, his spirits higher than ever before. It was as if every cell in his body had received a major pampering treatment.
"Is there anything else?"
Yu Changsheng licked his lips, looked at the purple-haired child, and couldn't help but ask a question.
The little purple child was stunned. Looking at Yu Changsheng's expression, he hesitated for a moment, then took out another drop of Purple Spirit Liquid from the purple bamboo and carefully handed it to Yu Changsheng. He then quickly waved his hand, looking pained.
"That's all, just this one drop! No more!"
"Really? Let me see it."
Yu Changsheng was suspicious. He squinted at the purple child, but in the end, he only accepted the drop of purple spirit liquid and was too embarrassed to continue to make things difficult for the purple child.
"real!"
The little purple child was depressed and plopped down on the ground, looking utterly dejected.
Seeing this, Yu Changsheng scratched the back of his head, suddenly feeling a pang of guilt. He coughed twice, put the drop of purple spirit liquid into his backpack, and abandoned the idea of asking for more. He gently pulled up the purple child, smiled softly, and said gently:
"Alright, alright, don't be discouraged, little one. Here's what we'll do: I'll open my senior brother's ruined cave in a bit, and you can come in with me."
After thinking it over, Yu Changsheng said this, considering it compensation for having tricked the children.
"Really? Is it really possible?"
Upon hearing this, the little purple child suddenly looked up, her small eyes meeting Yu Changsheng's. She blinked and looked at him with hope in her eyes, but her face turned slightly red as she shyly swayed.
"This is your senior brother's cave dwelling. Would it be inappropriate for me to go in?"
"The little purple child said worriedly."
"It's okay, we're good friends after all."
Yu Changsheng chuckled, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"He's still just a child, so easy to fool. The transformation of purple bamboo into a spirit is a rare sight, and it's quite an eye-opener. If there's a chance, I can try to subdue it."
Although the spirit of the purple bamboo was quite intelligent, it was still only at the level of a five or six-year-old. Naturally, it was unable to resist Yu Changsheng's persuasion.
"good friend?"
The little purple boy smacked his lips, pondering the meaning of the word. After a moment, he tilted his head and grinned at Yu Changsheng.
"Okay, we're good friends." (End of Chapter)
