Chapter 716: Another Little Bun

“Yu ‘Er, who is this child?”
Seeing the three or four-year-old child in Xiao Lingyu’s hand, people kept asking questions.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “He’s my friend’s child. My friend has something to do, so his son will be temporarily staying at our house.”
This was the best excuse after her discussion with Gong Tianhao. She could randomly make up a friend since Xiao Lingyu’s social circle was so wide.
“Oh. This child is really beautiful. In the future, Tong Tong will have a friend.”
“Indeed. He’s around Tong Tong’s age. They are both very cute!”
“But, isn’t this child a little shy?”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “It’s his first time meeting a stranger. Come, Xiao Ling, greet Grandpa and Grandma!”
“Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!” Xiao Ling said crisply.
“Well, the child is really sensible. Come, Grandma has a piece of candy here for you!”
“Thank you, Grandma!”
“Come, take this toy too!”
…
Then, along the way, Xiao Ling received all kinds of gifts. When they reached home, Xiao Ling could barely hold them. Even Xiao Lingyu had to help take some.
When the people at home saw the duo carrying all sorts of candies and toys, Mother Xiao was stunned and came over to help place the things away. When Xiao Ling’s face appeared, mother Xiao was really shocked. She pointed at Xiao Ling and exclaimed, “Yu ‘Er, he… he…”
Xiao Ling hugged Mother Xiao’s leg happily and said in a crisp voice, “Grandma, I miss you so much!”
Mother Xiao squatted down and picked him up. She said with a smile, “Grandma misses Xiao Ling too.”
Mother Xiao and Father Xiao would sometimes enter Xiao Lingyu’s space to help. Of course, they knew of Xiao Ling’s existence. When Gong Tianhao got a head injury in the car accident, it was Xiao Ling who saved him. Therefore, Mother Xiao and Father Xiao were very grateful to Xiao Ling. They also felt sorry for him because he was trapped in the farming space.
However, Xiao Ling had the issue of being unable to grow old. In fact, he appeared to age backward. Therefore, they didn’t dare to bring Xiao Ling no matter how much they wanted to. Xiao Ling was very innocent. What if he was kidnapped?
Mother Xiao carried Xiao Ling and looked at Xiao Lingyu. She asked in confusion, “Yu ‘Er, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that Xiao Ling…”
“Mom, let’s go inside and talk!” Xiao Lingyu said.
As she carried Xiao Ling, Mother Xiao asked, “Xiao Ling, what do you want to eat?”
In fact, Xiao Ling’s food was spiritual energy. He couldn’t eat anything else. This was another issue why Xiao Lingyu had never brought him out. Mother Xiao knew that, but she still felt sorry for Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling smiled and said to mother Xiao, “Grandma, I can’t eat other things. I can only eat master…”
“You should call me Auntie!” Xiao Lingyu corrected him. “After all, you appeared as my friend’s son. Besides, you look like Tong Tong.”
Xiao Ling nodded and said, “Okay, Auntie!”
Xiao Ling continued, “Grandma, I can only eat the things from inside the space.” The things outside were too corrupted for him.
“This…” Mother Xiao said worriedly, “Yu ‘Er, we can’t let him eat fruits all the time.”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Mom, I’ve grown many things in my space. There’s rice, corn, and wheat. As long as you use the ingredients from my space, Xiao Ling can eat them.”
Mother Xiao said with a smile, “If I knew that, I would have let Xiao Ling out sooner.”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and didn’t say anything.
Xiao Lingyu asked, “Mom, where did Tong Tong go? He should come to play with Xiao Ling.”
Mother Xiao said, “He seems to be in his room.”
“What is he doing in his room? Sleeping?” Xiao Lingyu asked with some confusion, “Usually, at this time, he would have gone out to play, right?”
Mother Xiao said with a smile, “What are you talking about? Our Tong Tong is very obedient now. He’s studying in the room.” Although her grandson had a photographic memory, he still needed to study.
Mother Xiao took Xiao Ling’s hand and said, “Come, Xiao Ling, Grandma will take you to play with your younger brother!” To her knowledge, Xiao Ling was older than Xiao Letong. After all, when she first saw Xiao Ling two years ago, he looked like he was three years old. Even though he still looked like he was three years old now, he should be older already.
“Okay, thank you, Grandma!” Xiao Ling replied very obediently.
Mother Xiao touched his little head and couldn’t help but say, “our Xiao Ling is really obedient.”
Soon, Mother Xiao brought Xiao Ling to Xiao Letong’s room. She knocked on the door, and soon, the door opened. When Xiao Letong saw Mama Xiao and Xiao Ling outside, his eyes immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised and excited look as he called out, “Grandma, Little Brother!”
Mama Xiao said with a smile, “Tong Tong, you should call him your Big Brother.”
Xiao Letong shook his head and said, “No, he’s my little brother. I’m taller and stronger than him now. If I walk outside, anyone can see that I’m Big Brother, and he’s little brother!”
Mother Xiao didn’t argue with him. She smiled and said, “Alright, you can be the older brother, and Ling ‘Er is the younger brother. Now, can you invite your little brother into your room to play?”
Xiao Letong smiled happily and said, “Of course! Younger Brother, please come in!” He held the door with one hand and gestured for the other to come in.
Mother Xiao watched the children enter the house and said, “Tong Tong, grandma still has something to do. You and little brother can play in the room first. You must be kind to your younger brother, okay?”
Xiao Letong readily agreed. “Don’t worry, Grandma. We will have fun, and I’ll teach little brother many things.”
Mother Xiao smiled and said, “Alright, Grandma will be leaving!”
After Mother Xiao closed the door, she walked to Xiao Lingyu and asked seriously, “Yu ‘Er, why did you let Ling ‘Er appear in front of everyone all of a sudden? You know that Xiao Ling won’t grow up and doesn’t know how to use ordinary things. What if someone finds out?”
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Mom, don’t worry. Xiao Ling told me that now that the space has been upgraded, he can use some illusions to make himself look like an ordinary child in everyone’s eyes.”
Mother Xiao was confused, “What do you mean by that?”
“It means that he can use his power to make others believe that he’s growing like a normal child. As for his food, we just need to pay more attention.” Xiao Lingyu explained, “Mom, don’t worry. Xiao Ling said that he’s confident that no one will notice anything unusual. Also, Ling ‘Er has always wanted to come out. It’s very lively outside, and he wants to join in the fun!” The scenery and people were more exciting than inside the space. “He’s been lonely for tens of thousands of years,” Xiao Lingyu added.
This sentence pierced Mother Xiao’s heart and made her heart ache. She nodded and said, “Yes, we just need to be more careful in the future.”
In the room, Xiao Ling immediately said happily to Xiao Letong, “Brother, I’m finally out!”
His master led him to a secluded place and summoned him out. Then, she brought him home. They greeted many villagers along the way. They didn’t need to hide anymore.
Xiao Letong nodded with a serious and tense face. “Yes, you’re out. But you have to remember that your mission is to find the person in the dark and protect my Mommy and Daddy.”
Xiao Ling puffed out his small chest and replied very seriously, “Yes, of course!”
Xiao Letong then added, “Also, you have to remember that you are just an ordinary child now. You can’t act abnormal in front of others. Also, you have to do whatever my Mommy and Daddy tell you to do. If you don’t understand, you have to ask!”
“Yes, I’ll remember, Big Brother!” Xiao Ling replied very modestly and seriously.
Then, Xiao Letong launched into all kinds of lectures…
