Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss Novel - Chapter 334
Chapter 334: The Unusualness of Little Tu’s Body
Sima You Lin never thought that Sima You Yue would stop him. In his impression, she had a cause to avenge. Why is she letting the Nalan family off?
“You don’t want revenge?” He asked.
“Of course I do.” Sima You Yue said. “But now is not the right time.”
“Are you talking about the Ocean Boundary?” Sima You Lin said.
“You know full well that there has not been peace in the Ocean Boundary, and the Nalan Family and the Li family are now connected to each other. If we want to deal with any of those families, the other family will lend help as well.” Sima You Yue said. “And it’s not like our combined powers are enough to defeat the two families. Even if that were to be so, and we were to wipe out two entire families, it would shake up the entire Capital. If this time something really breaks out in the Ocean Boundary, then it would be a huge headache to settle. It might be better to just wait for something to happen so that we can make them a scapegoat for it.”
Sima You Lin agreed with that while he was also aware of what Sima You Yue had said. And since she cared more about the bigger picture, there was nothing much left for him to say.
“Alright, then let us go back to the Saint City before we decide on anything.” Sima You Lin said. “We were missing for such a long time and they must all be worried sick.”
“Alright.” Sima You Yue agreed. “Let’s go, but let me first bring Little Tu to advance in his rank.”
She brought both of them out, and Little Tu went to find a place to allow himself to use his powers to push out the blockages within him. And very quickly, a light enclosed him. He rose three ranks and became a First Rank Spirit King.
“Not bad, in two years you were able to rise from the Spirit Warrior rank to the Spirit King. This gift will put the capital in great shock.” Sima You Yue said approvingly.
Two years before, Little Tu was still unable to train, but today he passed over three ranks from being a Spirit Warrior, Spirit Lord, Great Spirit Master to becoming a Spirit King. Although the Spirit Pavilion helped to cheat the system, it did not discount the fact that he was extremely talented.
When Sima You Lin found out about Little Tu, he, too, was surprised. He started to understand why every spirit being that was close to her had undergone changes.
After that, they sat on Little Rock and flew towards the Saint City. While they were flying, Little Tu excitedly looked at the outside world. In the two years of training, he spent most of his time in the Spirit Pagoda. He had only come out when he had promoted in rank, and he needed training, and so he often dueled with the other spirit beasts in the pagoda.
“Little Tu, I noticed something.” Sima You Yue looked at Little Tu, with a serious look on her face.
“What’s wrong, Brother?” Little Tu stood straight in fear, as he looked at the way Sima You Yue was behaving.
“What is the problem?” Sima You Lin looked at Little Tu, wondering what the problem with his training could be.
Sima You Yue stretched out her hands to rub and squish Little Tu’s face, saying, “I realised that you have had no physical growth in the past two years! How is it that you look exactly the same as when I first saw you?”
Hm…
Sima You Lin looked at Sima You Yue, and looked at Little Tu again, and decided to keep his words to himself. Her thoughts were always so fleeting that he felt that he could not keep up with her.
Little Tu’s body stiffened at Sima You Yue’s words, and looked at her carefully before he said, “I… After I became a spirit beast, I just never grew anymore.”
Sima You Yue was taken aback and moved backwards, peering at him. This little punk looked like he was eight or nine years old, but hearing what he just said, that must not be so!
“Tell me honestly, how old are you? Are you some thousand year old beast?”
Little Tu smiled bitterly at her question, saying, “I am not that old, I’m only eight or nine years older than I look.”
“Are you older than the both of us?” Sima You Yue looked at Little Tu’s embarrassed look, and asked with her eyes widely opened.
“No, no.” Little Tu denied quickly. “I’m only sixteen years old this year, I’m still much younger than the both of you.”
“Only sixteen?” Sima You Yue asked again.
“Yes yes,.” Little Tu shook his head violently. “I don’t know why either, but since I became a spirit beast my body has just never changed. Do you think I will ever grow again, Brother?”
“Um… I don’t know about that.” Sima You Yue said. “You Lin, You Lan also has the bloodline of a spirit beast, how was she able to grow this big?”
“I think it does have to do with the fact that they have a spirit beast’s bloodline.” Sima You Lin said. “Although You Lan is not exactly like this, she did grow more slowly compared to the average person. I think for Little Tu, the spirit beast bloodline is stronger in him, compared to You Lan. But I’m not sure if that is definitely why it is like this.”
“Hm… I guess we will have to wait for Master to come for us to ask him. Now that he is exposing himself to more forms of knowledge up there, he should be able to tell us the reason.” Sima You Yue said.
“Brother, my body isn’t having a problem, is it?” Little Tu asked Sima You Yue, worried.
Sima You Yue patted his head, saying, “I think you’re alright. If there would be anything, hehe, I think it would be that the process of you growing from a boy to a man will just be later by a few years or a few decades.”
What??
Sima You Lin froze, and Little Tu’s face blushed to the shade of a lobster, both taken aback by what she had said. The growth from a boy to a man? Why would she suddenly think of such a thing?
But Sima You Yue didn’t think much about what she said, but continued to pinch Little Tu’s tiny face, saying, “Actually, I think you’re rather cute like this. If you grow up, you probably won’t let me be this close to you. Haha!”
Little Tu swatted Sima You Yue’s hands away indignantly, cupping his face in his hands, pouting, “Seriously, Brother!” And proceeded to ignore her. Sima You Yue looked at Little Tu’s actions, and they made her laugh with joy by herself. Sima You Lin lay on Little Roc’s back and watched her, a smile unknowingly appearing on his lips at the same time.
Little Roc brought them back to the Saint City before the morning sun was even up, and so the doors to the city were still shut. At the set time, the guards of the Saint City opened the doors, and were shocked, as they took note of the identities of the three people waiting outside the gates. Sima You Yue and the others had no time to pay attention to the shocked guards, and mounted onto Iron Claw Tiger for him to bring them to the Sima Family home.
Seeing that they had gone out of sight, one of the guards asked, “Was… Was that the two people from the Sima family?”
“Was that really them?”
“They’re back alive! That’s unbelievable!”
“Didn’t they say that they had been utterly destroyed by that God Beast in the mountain? How could they be appearing here?”
“Heh heh, this will be interesting.”
“The Li family, Sang family, Huo family and the Nalan family have all departed from the Saint City, right? There’s only the Sima family left here.”
“Let’s see how the Alchemy Masters Guild will account to the Sima family.”
“Aiya, I wish I could see what will happen.”
“Just keep it to your imagination, and go back to protecting the gate!”
Sima You Yue and the others galloped along, and noticed that the Saint City was definitely cleaner compared to when they last remembered.
At the Sima family home, a group of the Sima family members stood blankly at their home gate. Sima You Yang stood at the front addressing everybody, “Although everyone has given up, we as the Sima family must never give up. Today, we will go the the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to look for them again. Whether or not the rumours are true, I must see them alive for myself, or if they’re dead, at least see their bodies!”
“Now, whose corpse are you looking for?”
A laughter rang out from behind the crowd, and the family turned to look, shocked.
