Anbao tilted her little head and looked at her master and senior brother curiously.

Both times Master had saved her, rushing back with her Senior Brother to deliver medicine, seemed to emphasize that they couldn't interact much with the outside world.

But today, Master and Senior Brother suddenly found her. This made An Bao both happy and worried: "Could something have happened? Master, Senior Brother, can An Bao help? An Bao is very capable!"

Anbao frowned, her chubby cheeks creased with worry. She even raised her arms toward the two of them, showing off her tiny muscles.

Um...

Although it doesn't have muscles, that plump arm still makes Xuan Yi and Long Yu want to bite it!

It looks so delicious!

"It's alright, Master and Senior Brother just miss you. We are safe now, and besides, the merit you helped Master find this time was a great help to him, so he wanted to tell you."

Merit?

Anbao was stunned for a moment, then realized that her uncle must have already implemented what he promised. She couldn't help but be happy: "It's great to be able to help Master! Anbao's uncles are all very good. Anbao mentioned it once before, and they kept it in mind! When Master comes back, we must introduce Anbao's uncles to you. They will definitely like you all too."

An Bao, having said that, couldn't help but continue chattering away. Of course, it was all about introducing the occupations and personalities of several uncles.

"Uncle, don't look at him like that. He might seem scary, but he actually loves Anbao very much. He buys Anbao lots and lots of things, and gives Anbao lots and lots of money."

"There's also my second uncle, who is a super, super amazing doctor. He even researched a lot of medicines that can help many patients. He's incredibly impressive."

Uncle Three, even though he's a movie emperor, acts like a child and plays best with Anbao. Even though Uncle Three is childish, Anbao loves him very much.

"And..."

Amber excitedly told Xuan Yi and the others about everything that had happened these days.

Xuan Yi and the others listened as An Bao kept talking about her uncles. They felt a little awkward, but when they learned that her uncles truly doted on her, they felt more at ease.

Although they knew it from the beginning, hearing it from Anbao made it more real for them.

Xuan looked at Anbao, who seemed to have grown a lot these days. His eyes were filled with love.

"Well, Anbao is happy, that's all that matters. Since you're going to school, you should study hard."

"An Bao will be here! Ah right, Master, you have a disciple now!"

Anbao nodded her head, suddenly as if she had thought of something, proudly straightened her back, and then glanced at Longyu beside her with a sly smile.

Long Yu seeing An Bao like this, also couldn't help but find it amusing, raised an eyebrow and said: "Is that the little kid from the Bai family?"

"Oh! I've seen you before, Big Brother, but you were in such a rush last time that Anbao didn't get to introduce us."

"Well, it's not bad," Long Yu chuckled lightly and nodded in praise.

How could they not know that this little ball of fluff is showing off?

Xuanqing Guan has always been the smallest, so this little thing has been hoping every day that Xuan Yi could take in another disciple.

Alternatively, perhaps the senior brothers take on a disciple. That way, Anbao wouldn't be the youngest anymore and could become a senior sister or even a senior aunt figure.

It's just a pity that every time, it ends up disappointing her.

It was probably because of this that the little thing decided to rely on itself.

To tell the truth, An Bao was indeed the first one in their generation to accept a disciple.

"An Bao is really amazing, when we meet, we will definitely give this grandson a gift."

Xuan Yi chuckled and praised An Bao, naturally treating An Bao's disciple as his own.

"An Bao nodded happily, then as if she remembered something, suddenly asked, "Oh right, Master, An Bao's belly has a golden Dan Ye inside! This kind of inner alchemy is only possessed by monsters, isn't it? Why does An Bao have one too? Will An Bao become a monster too?"

Anbao touched her own little belly and couldn't help but speak.

Since she found out there was something growing in her tummy, Anbao has been so troubled these days! Even her appetite has decreased!

At least, at least I ate one less bowl of rice than usual every meal!!!

Xuan Yi and Long Yu were both shocked when they heard An Bao's words.

This…

What did they just hear?

"You, An Bao, you just said that you've cultivated... the Golden Core?"

Huan Yi asked in disbelief, his voice sounding as if it were squeezed out from the depths of his throat.

"How is this possible?" Long Yu was also dumbfounded, staring at An Bao's abdomen in a daze, as if he had heard some kind of myth.

Anbao felt a chill run down her spine under the intense gaze of her senior brother and master. She blinked her large eyes, pondered for a moment, then decided to prove them wrong. "Anbao isn't lying, Master, Senior Brother, just look," she said.

An Bao, in a milky voice, spoke while pinching spells with both hands. Suddenly, a golden light flared, and a golden pill slowly floated out of An Bao's abdomen, circling before Xuan Yi and the others.

When Xuan saw it, he widened his eyes in fright. He hurriedly reached out and pointed, sending the golden elixir back into Anbao's abdomen through the void.

"My little ancestor, you can't just take this out casually! What if something happens and we can't go back? Your whole cultivation path would be ruined!!!"

Xuanyi was still a bit scared at this moment, his heart beating frantically, almost leaping out of his throat.

Long Yu also rarely looked at An Bao seriously, and opened his mouth to speak in a low voice: "Master is right, An Bao, this golden core after this should not be easily separated from the body, nor should it be snatched away by others. You must be careful, do you understand?"

Anbao nodded obediently, though she didn't know why, but her master and senior brother definitely wouldn't harm her.

But...

"Master, why does Anbao have this golden elixir? Anbao, aren't you really a monster?"

Looking at An Bao's innocent eyes, Xuan Yi and Long Yu fell silent together for the first time in a long while. They glanced at each other, both seeing a hint of helplessness and envy in each other's eyes.

After a long silence, Xuan Yi finally spoke, clearing up the mystery: “An Bao is not a monster, An Bao has...cultivated to the Golden Core stage.”

"Well, every cultivator actually spends their whole life trying to cultivate this Golden Core. After all, with a Golden Core, one can increase their lifespan. However, throughout history, both ancient and modern times, those who can cultivate this Golden Core are few and far between..."

Long Yu looked at An Bao with a few more complicated emotions in his eyes, but he was still trying to help An Bao understand.

An Bao seemed to understand, but she also let out a sigh of relief.

Anbao is not a monster!

"What about the master and senior brother? Do they have golden pills?"

“ ”

"......"

The master and apprentice were both speechless at this moment.

It's not that they don't have them, it's just... how old were they when they built those?

How old was An Baoxiu when he was born?

There is absolutely no comparison here!

"Ahem, well then, good to know Anbao is doing well. Master and your senior brother can rest assured now. We have things to attend to here, let's meet again next time."

Xuan Yi had already sensed someone approaching them. To prevent those people from knowing their whereabouts, he could only hurriedly disconnect the line.

"Master..."

Upon hearing this, An Bao suddenly cried out in a mix of grievance and pity, her large eyes brimming with sadness and reluctance.

"Anbao...be good, and wait here until this is over..."

But how long will it take to end?

Dashi Xiao Qiao's aunt, at four and a half years old, is adored by her six uncles.
