Chapter 670: Chapter 670 - 657: You’re Talking Back to Your Uncle Now

Xiaosuisui slowly shut her eyes and entered the Dream Realm. Ah Ling was absent from this space. After Ji Youran accidentally fell into the Wangchuan River last time, Ah Ling had found an opportunity to go into seclusion.

Upon entering, Xiaosuisui didn’t call for Ah Ling; instead, she pulled Ji Youyuan in herself.

At this moment, Ji Youyuan, along with Old Madam Ji, his brothers, Wang Dongxue, Huo Xing’Er, and Zhu Xiuxiu, were waiting in the Old Madam’s courtyard.

This vigil had already lasted for three days.

During these three days, aside from the pregnant Wang Dongxue, whom Old Madam Ji had forced to rest for the sake of her child, no one else had moved an inch from this spot.

Three full days had now passed. Since none of them had entered Xiaosuisui’s Dream Realm, everyone was fraught with anxiety.

Huo Xing’Er would frequently pinch her fingers, shaking her head from time to time. Her fingertips were bleeding from the constant pressure, yet she uttered no word.

Despite her silence, the others understood clearly: the results of her divinations were not promising!

"Second Daughter-in-law, stop pinching your fingers. Just leave it to fate!" Old Madam Ji said, feeling a pang of heartache as she saw Huo Xing’Er’s bleeding fingertips.

"Exactly, Xing’Er, please stop pinching your fingers! They’re bleeding. Let me blow on them for you," Ji Youran said, grabbing Huo Xing’Er’s hand, his heart aching. He quickly blew on her injured fingers.

Huo Xing’Er’s face flushed crimson. She quickly pulled her hand back, so embarrassed she lowered her head until it nearly touched the table.

Ordinarily, the Ji Family would have been delighted by such a scene. But right now, everyone’s thoughts were consumed with worry for Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi, so no one paid the couple any mind.

Old Madam Ji even felt her second son was being utterly unfilial. Hadn’t he noticed how worried his own mother was, so much so that she couldn’t eat or drink? He, on the other hand, was all smiles, happily coaxing his wife! But the critical point was, did his wife even need his coaxing? This good-for-nothing, number one in attracting misfortune—she really wanted to slap him away!

Just as Old Madam Ji could bear it no longer, she slammed her palm on the table. BANG!

Everyone’s eyes flew open in alarm as they watched Ji Youyuan slump onto the table.

"What happened? Why did Eldest Brother suddenly faint?" Old Madam Ji exclaimed, startled.

Huo Xing’Er snapped back to her senses. "Could it be Suisui?" she wondered aloud, then urged Ji Youran, "Quickly, check on Eldest Brother! What exactly is going on?"

Ji Youran hurriedly took Ji Youyuan’s pulse, everyone’s gaze fixed intently on his hand. After a moment, they all asked in unison, "How is he? Has he fallen asleep?"

Ji Youran nodded quickly. "Yes!"

"Merciful Buddha, please let it be Xiaosuisui who has reached him!" Old Madam Ji hurriedly pressed her palms together in prayer.

Huo Xing’Er quickly began her finger divinations again. Everyone watched her nimble fingers fly.

Ji Youran muttered, his heart aching, "Xing’Er, why are you pinching your fingers again? Doesn’t it hurt?"

Old Madam Ji slapped Ji Youran on the back of his head. "You, be quiet!"

Ji Youran winced in pain, his face a mask of grievance, but he dared not utter a word.

Finally, Huo Xing’Er’s hand stilled. Anxious, everyone asked, "Well? What is it?"

"I can’t divine anything! It’s all a blur!"

PFFT! Huo Xing’Er spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone’s expression changed drastically.

"My dear!"

"Second Daughter-in-law!"

"Second Sister-in-law!"

Cries of alarm and concern erupted from everyone.

Their calls were answered by Ji Youran, who swept Huo Xing’Er into his arms and strode towards their bedroom.

Ji Youyuan entered Xiaosuisui’s Dream Realm. He saw her staring intently at the Lotus Pond with a grave expression. He walked over quickly and called out, "Suisui!"

Xiaosuisui turned her head and exclaimed joyfully, "Eldest Maternal Uncle! You’re here!"

Ji Youyuan moved to stand beside her and also looked down into the Lotus Pond.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Xiaosuisui said, "I was pondering which is more dangerous: the Array of Heaven or the Path of Oblivion!"

"I knew it," Ji Youyuan said. "You brought me here because you’ve encountered trouble with the Array of Heaven."

"It’s not me who’s in trouble," Xiaosuisui clarified. "It’s Seventh Uncle, Xiaobai, and... Dahei!"

Ji Youyuan asked, puzzled, "I know Seventh Uncle and Xiaobai, but who is this Dahei?"
