6: Chapter 6 Come on, let your sister feed you.

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Mu Qingci heard that familiar voice ringing out from outside his door: "Qingci, Qingci, we've come to take you to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy!"

As soon as Mu Qingci pushed the door open, he saw a white-haired loli standing in front of his door, with a white-haired young boy with a face full of black lines following beside her.

"Sister Meng."

When these three words were spoken by Mu Qingci, paired with that devastatingly handsome face, the corners of Meng Hongchen's mouth could no longer be kept down.

"Let's go, Sister will take you to eat breakfast first!"

Meng Hongchen grabbed Mu Qingci's hand, ignoring her own brother, and strode out of the hotel.

Mu Qingci's fingers were slender and a size larger than Meng Hongchen's, so Meng Hongchen could only hold onto his four fingers.

Feeling the warmth coming from her fingertips and that soft, delicate touch, a ripple appeared in Mu Qingci's heart.

Even as a transmigrator, Mu Qingci had no experience in matters of the heart. Encountering such a lively, cheerful, and beautiful white-haired rich girl, it would be a lie to say his heart didn't skip a beat.

"Qingci, this brown sugar rice cake is delicious. My brother and I come here whenever we have free time."

Meng Hongchen didn't let go of Mu Qingci's hand, and the three of them walked into the small shop by the street together.

It was morning now, and the seats in the shop were almost all taken.

Meng Hongchen dragged Mu Qingci to find an empty table with great difficulty, and they sat down.

In the past, she would always sit on the same side as Xiao Hongchen, but now she was sitting on the same side as Mu Qingci.

Seeing that Meng Hongchen was still holding his hand, Mu Qingci had to cough lightly to signal: "Sister Meng, your hand."

"Don't worry, Sister sees that your hands are so cold, I'm just helping you warm them up!"

As she spoke, Meng Hongchen actually placed both her hands on Mu Qingci's hand, one above and one below, gripping them tightly.

Feeling the temperature from the palms and back of his hands, the fragrance of the young girl beside him, and the silver bell-like laughter that sounded from time to time by his ears, even someone as stoic as Mu Qingci couldn't help but curve his lips, his earlobes turning slightly red.

"Boss, three portions of brown sugar rice cake!"

Xiao Hongchen's voice sounded somewhat gnashed; this sentence seemed to pop out from between his teeth one word at a time.

There was no helping it; seeing his sister, whom he had grown up with, clinging to another strange man like this, any brother would find it hard to accept.

Soon, three portions of brown sugar rice cake were served.

"Come, Qingci, Sister will feed you."

Meng Hongchen skillfully picked up a piece from her own plate and offered it to Mu Qingci's mouth.

Looking at the slender, fair hand right before his eyes, Mu Qingci blankly opened his mouth and ate the piece of brown sugar rice cake.

Meng Hongchen watched with a smile, truly looking like a big sister taking care of a little brother.

"Snap."

Just then, the chopsticks in Xiao Hongchen's hand snapped due to his excessive force.

"Boss, please bring me another pair of chopsticks; I will pay for the one I broke."

Veins were throbbing on Xiao Hongchen's forehead; seeing his sister flirting with another boy, he had absolutely no appetite.

Meng Hongchen acted as if she hadn't heard, continuing to feed Mu Qingci on her own.

Mu Qingci felt a gaze full of murderous intent land on him; he didn't need to think to know it was from the young boy opposite him.

But he was also very helpless; since she was eager to feed him, he couldn't just run away, so he could only "reluctantly" accept it. In any case, neither Mu Qingci nor Meng Hongchen's smiles had faded.

After finishing breakfast, the three of them went to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy together.

Today was not only the day for admissions but also the day for the Hongchen siblings to advance to the third grade.

Along the way, Mu Qingci's hand was held by Meng Hongchen the entire time, and his initially cold hand was warmed up, carrying the unique fragrance of a young girl.

"Qingci, my grandfather is also at the academy today. He is amazing—a Level 9 Soul Engineer! If you want to learn about spirit tools, you can look for him!"

Once Meng Hongchen started acting like a fangirl, it was normal for her to give herself away.

"Then thank you, Sister Meng."

Mu Qingci did indeed need to have contact with Jing Hongchen, but not to become his apprentice; rather, it was to use his connections to meet someone else: the Enshrinement Hall, Kong Deming.

That man who was the first to create a Level 10 spirit tool in the original work—it could be said that almost all Level 9 Soul Engineers in the Sun Moon Empire had received his guidance or were his students, even Xuan Ziwen, who was Huo Yuhao's spirit tool teacher in the original work.

Only by becoming the apprentice of this, the world's number one Soul Engineer, could Mu Qingci avoid the threat of the Holy Spirit Cult. After all, this was a real man who dared to confront Ye Xishui head-on later on.

It must be said, Mu Qingci's repeated "Sister Meng" directly caused Meng Hongchen to lose herself; the smile on her face never vanished.

With such a young lady holding his hand, Mu Qingci didn't face any obstruction entering the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

After all, who wouldn't recognize this exceptionally talented young lady? She was the granddaughter of the Mingde Hall Master; no one would casually provoke her.

To be able to hold hands with this young lady, even if Mu Qingci were an ordinary person without Soul Power, they would still have to let him pass.

After the three of them entered the academy, Xiao Hongchen went off to attend to his own business, leaving Meng Hongchen to take Mu Qingci to handle the enrollment.

Before leaving, Xiao Hongchen took advantage of a moment when Meng Hongchen wasn't paying attention to glare fiercely at Mu Qingci.

Facing this young boy who might become his future brother-in-law, Mu Qingci merely returned a smile, though his eyes carried three parts of smugness.

Meng Hongchen brought Mu Qingci to the admissions office. Relying on her status as the granddaughter of the Mingde Hall Master, and given that it was the enrollment season, she easily handled the enrollment procedures for Mu Qingci, making him an official first-year student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

"Let's go, Qingci, I'll take you to meet my grandfather!"

Meng Hongchen held Mu Qingci's hand and skipped away from the admissions office.

The teachers at the admissions office, seeing this scene, all had looks of gossip on their faces: "I didn't expect it, Hall Master Jing's granddaughter has been snatched away just like that. But that little guy is indeed quite handsome."

"Alright, is Hall Master Jing's business something you can discuss? But it must be said, that little guy's talent is quite high, even surpassing Miss Meng from two years ago. He's not even twelve yet and is already a quasi-Spirit Ancestor."

"Yes, yes, they are truly a talented man and a beautiful woman, a golden boy and a jade girl; they are a perfect match!"

Meng Hongchen brought Mu Qingci to another office. After pushing the door open, she called out sweetly: "Grandfather, I'm here!"

Inside the office was a white-haired middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. His appearance was very handsome, and one could find three parts of his shadow on Xiao Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen had originally been lowering his head to organize files, but upon hearing his granddaughter's call, he hurriedly raised his head: "So Mengmeng is here!"

But when he saw that his granddaughter was actually holding another boy's hand, the smile instantly froze on his face.
