Chapter 1056 - 14: Want to See You

"What a coincidence, I wasn’t born in the ground either. I grew up by the river, and later somehow gained awareness. Eventually, I became a little immortal and now I guard the Medicine Garden," said Yu Tou with a smile.

"Yu Tou, I brought my junior sister here, hoping to go inside the Medicine Garden for a look. I want my junior sister to gain some Spiritual Energy while we’re at it," Yi Lan explained her purpose.

"No problem, just don’t wander too far. Stay near the entrance. If someone comes to check, it’ll be hard for you to sneak out if you’ve gone too far," Yu Tou said.

"Alright, alright, then we’ll head in now." Yi Lan picked up Tianmiao and walked into the Medicine Garden.

Inside the Medicine Garden, Tianmiao looked around at the lush green herbs and asked Yi Lan, "Senior sister, did Yu Tou brother break the rules to let us in?"

"Yes," Yi Lan whispered, "So let’s keep quiet, have a quick look, and then leave."

"Okay, I’ve seen enough," Tianmiao nodded.

"So quickly?" Yi Lan was surprised.

"Yes, I don’t actually need to bury myself in the ground for cultivation now. Didn’t you say we could secretly go see Chang’e?" Tianmiao replied.

"You silly child, are you worried about Yu Tou getting in trouble for letting us sneak into the Medicine Garden? So you said you were done?" Yi Lan asked.

"Yes. If we get caught, you’ll be in trouble too," Tianmiao nodded.

"It’s actually a minor issue, as long as we don’t damage or steal any herbs, it won’t be a big problem," Yi Lan said.

"No, senior sister, let’s go see the most beautiful woman," Tianmiao shook his head.

"Okay, okay, little junior sister, I love you more every day. How did you become so considerate and thoughtful?" Yi Lan’s heart was sweet, as she held Tianmiao and walked to the entrance of the Medicine Garden.

"So soon?" Yu Tou was somewhat surprised to see them coming out.

"Yeah, getting caught wouldn’t be good. I’ll come back to see you another day. I’m taking my junior sister to the Moon Palace to see the moon rabbit," Yi Lan explained.

"Alright, come by often," Yu Tou waved to the two.

Yi Lan left with Tianmiao, who rested his head on Yi Lan’s shoulder, looking at Yu Tou still waving from behind. Suddenly, in a soft voice, he said, "Senior sister, why do I feel that Yu Tou brother is so lonely?"

"You little kid, what do you know about loneliness?" Yi Lan said with amusement.

"Just feel he’s very lonely," Tianmiao replied.

"Perhaps, after all, guarding the garden alone for years without going anywhere. That’s why I often come to chat with him," Yi Lan’s voice suddenly softened, and she whispered, "That’s why some little immortals long for the Mortal World... Oh my, what am I telling a kid, you wouldn’t understand."

"Would longing for the Mortal World be punished?" Tianmiao asked.

"Yes, they would have their Immortal Bone removed and sent into the mortal realm, and it’s very difficult to become immortal again," Yi Lan said with a hint of apprehension.

"I won’t let anyone remove your Immortal Bone, senior sister. I’ll protect you, don’t be afraid," Tianmiao reached out his little chubby hand and gently patted Yi Lan’s back.

Yi Lan couldn’t help but laugh again, "Alright, then I’ll wait for my little junior sister to become powerful and protect me. But for now, it’s my turn to protect my little junior sister."

"Okay!" Tianmiao solemnly agreed.

Upon arriving at the Moon Palace, Tianmiao gazed at the vast expanse of silver-white structures and slowly said, "Oh..."

"What’s wrong? Are you cold?" Yi Lan asked nervously.

"No, it’s just so similar to the moon I saw in the Mortal World," Tianmiao said.

"Haha, indeed. Let’s go, we’ll play with the moon rabbit. Fairy Chang’e has been in seclusion for a long time, and the moon rabbit is managing the affairs of the Moon Palace," Yi Lan said cheerfully.

"Senior sister," Tianmiao spoke up again.

"What is it?" Yi Lan asked.

"Do rabbits eat carrots?" Tianmiao asked slowly.

Yi Lan: "..." How did I completely forget about that!
