155: Section 155
Then, Dream Hongshang took out a Ginseng Nine-Aperture Pill and fed it to Nangong Liuli.
The vast Origin Qi continuously repaired the damage caused by the Heart Demon's invasion.
Dream Hongshang sighed.
“It’s hard to defeat a Heart Demon.”
“She’s probably stuck like this for the rest of her life.”
After speaking, Dream Hongshang gave you a glare.
“It’s all your fault!”
“If it weren’t for you, how would she be like this?”
You felt greatly wronged.
“How is it my fault?”
Dream Hongshang then explained.
“Her Heart Demon this time is clearly an Inner Demon Tribulation.”
“Originally, with her unique Seven Yin Absolute Body, she could have easily overcome it.”
“Because she would never fall in love with anyone.”
“But your entanglement over the years, plus I don’t know what exactly happened between you two, damaged her flawless Dao Heart.”
“Now that the Inner Demon Tribulation has arrived, how could she not be able to overcome it?”
When you heard Dream Hongshang’s words, your head immediately shook like a rattle-drum.
“How is that possible?”
“How could she fall in love with me?”
“All those things she said just now were just spoken in a state of delirium.”
Dream Hongshang ignored you and looked at Nangong Liuli, who was sleeping soundly in your arms.
“This little girl, if she hadn’t met you, she would have been an Earth Immortal powerhouse.”
“Now, it seems even becoming a Loose Immortal will be difficult.”
“Forget it, let’s take her back to Peach Mountain, perhaps she can be successfully treated.”
You were somewhat surprised when you heard Dream Hongshang’s words.
“You’re not jealous?”
Dream Hongshang rolled her beautiful eyes at you again.
“Of course I am, why wouldn’t I be?”
“But isn’t saving her the priority right now?”
“If we save her, won’t we have another Earth Immortal big shot as our backing?”
Upon hearing this, you stopped speaking, picked up Nangong Liuli, and walked out the door.
Dream Hongshang, on the other hand, resealed the Immortal Cave; it was unknown when she would emerge next.
After returning to Peach Mountain, Dream Hongshang specifically prepared a room for Nangong Liuli.
Nangong Liuli slept for a very long time, a full month.
Dream Hongshang fed her a Ginseng Nine-Aperture Pill every three days, and the large amount of pure Origin Qi made her complexion healthy and rosy.
One day, when you went to visit Nangong Liuli, you unexpectedly found that she had woken up.
At this moment, she was sitting on the bed, her eyes clear and pure, her jade-like face captivating, completely devoid of her previous ice-cold indifference.
But her words made your heart sink by half.
“Big brother, where is this place?”
After speaking, Nangong Liuli put on her embroidered shoes, got out of bed, and curiously looked around.
Immediately after, Nangong Liuli skipped over to you.
“Big brother, you’re so handsome.”
“But Liuli wants to find her father, can you take me to find him?”
Looking at Nangong Liuli, whose expression and tone were like those of a young child, you were greatly surprised.
“Liuli, what’s wrong?”
“Don’t you remember who you are?”
Nangong Liuli put her beautiful jade finger into her small mouth, then tilted her head and looked at you curiously.
“Big brother, what are you saying?”
“I’m Liuli.”
“How could I not know who I am?”
As she spoke, Nangong Liuli looked towards the door, because at this moment, Dream Hongshang also arrived.
Nangong Liuli ran over.
“Beautiful big sister, can you help me find my father?”
Seeing this, you quickly spoke.
“Hongshang, she woke up like this, it seems her intelligence, cognition, and memory have all regressed to the age of nine.”
“Now I don’t know what to do.”
Dream Hongshang was also greatly surprised.
“That shouldn’t be.”
“But I see her Heart Demon seems to have temporarily receded.”
“How could this happen?”
“Never mind.”
“We can only observe her slowly now.”
“Let’s see again after some time.”
You nodded helplessly.
“Yes, that’s all we can do.”
You looked at Nangong Liuli, at her delicate, innocent face, and for a moment, you felt a pang of heartache.
Then you told a white lie.
“Liuli, I’m a friend of your father’s. He asked me to take care of you for a while. Will you stay here during this time?”
Nangong Liuli pouted.
“Then when will my father come back?”
“I miss him.”
“He’ll come pick you up in a while, Liuli, be good.”
“Your father is going to get medicine for you.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.”
Nangong Liuli seemed to have thought of something.
“Oh, I remember, Father said I was sick.”
“But Liuli isn’t sick, Liuli is perfectly fine.”
As she spoke, you looked at Dream Hongshang with a helpless gaze.
Dream Hongshang was equally helpless.
“There’s no other way, we can only raise her like a child now.”
“Do you know what nine-year-old girls like?”
Dream Hongshang had never been around children and didn’t know how to raise them.
You, on the other hand, thought of playgrounds on Earth, perhaps you could build one for her during this time.
“Yes, I think I know.”
“I’ll go out for a while to buy some wood and supplies in a Mortal town.”
“Okay.”
Subsequently, you found a spacious open area on Peach Mountain, and for the rest of the days, you continuously built some familiar recreational facilities from your previous life.
Such as seesaws, slides, swings, and carousels.
Nangong Liuli loved playing with them, and she especially loved it when you and Dream Hongshang played these things with her.
Dream Hongshang also liked your whimsical ideas.
She wondered where you got all these inspirations from.
Watching Nangong Liuli play, carefree and innocent, you felt that it would be quite nice if things just continued like this.
At least now she wasn’t as annoying as before.
At this moment: (Nangong Liuli 21%, Dream Hongshang 79%).
One day, as you and Dream Hongshang were doing your usual midday exercise, you heard some strange sounds.
After quietly going out, you found Nangong Liuli standing outside the window, poking a hole in the paper, intently looking inside.
Seeing you come out, Nangong Liuli’s eyes were pure and innocent.
“Big brother, what were you playing just now? Liuli wants to play too!”
Chapter 139: Liuli, this is for adults, you can’t play it
Your old face flushed, and you immediately spoke.
“This is for adults, you can’t play it.”
Nangong Liuli suddenly started to fuss.
“I want to play, I want to play!”
During this time, you and Dream Hongshang had been quite indulgent with Nangong Liuli, so she indulged in her childish whims without hesitation.
Seeing her like this, you could only coax her and take her to the playground to play on the swing with her.
After she got tired of playing, Nangong Liuli fussed about wanting you to hold her while she slept.
You had no choice but to carry her into the room.
Only after she was coaxed to sleep did you find peace.
Nangong Liuli’s mind was now no different from that of a child, and you felt that you couldn’t let Dream Hongshang call out without restraint anymore.
But what happened next made things increasingly difficult for you.
Ever since that peeping incident, she frequently ran towards you and Dream Hongshang.
Each time, she would secretly peek, and because her cultivation was already high, you often only discovered her long after she had started.
Moreover, you noticed that after catching her, you could smell a strong floral fragrance on her fingers.
You didn’t expect her to learn this on her own.
You were quite troubled by Nangong Liuli’s behavior.
You told Dream Hongshang about this.
“Hongshang, Liuli comes to peek at us every day, and not only does she peek, but she also entertains herself.”
“Why do I feel like she’s acting very strangely now?”
Upon hearing your words, Dream Hongshang began to speculate.
