Chapter 303: The Awkward Older Brother
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
"Is this our new sister?"
As soon as Bai Rouyun took Jiaojiao plus the leopard and plant duo back into the Primal Chaos Dimension, Xiao Jin came rushing to their side.
Although both she and Xiao Bao were confined within this separate dimension for now, they knew of the happenings outside in the ordinary world, and thus she was well aware that they had gotten a new sibling.
Unlike many of the current families, there was no internal fighting here. Although Bai Rouyun had adopted a whole group of children, all of them were unique in their own ways, and she showed them enough care and affection to make them feel special without the need to fight for attention.
These small treasures all felt that it was not a bad thing to have more siblings, as they had never experienced the feeling of family affection prior to meeting Bai Rouyun.
Even Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin, which had existed for many thousands of years, had always been treated as tool spirits. While their masters were aware of them being sentient and able to feel emotions, they had never considered them to be their equal.
Such thoughts had been standard to these two treasures, and they had even begun to believe that they were merely tools who had gotten enlightened. Even if they had emotions and could feel affection, their purpose was to exist for the sake of others, and only now, after meeting Bai Rouyun, did they know that they too deserved to be cared for.
This was why, when Xiao Jin heard about Jiaojiao, she rushed over with a great smile on her face, and her adorable expression was full of excitement. When looking at this small figure, it was hard to connect her identity to the famed Golden Dragon Cauldron.
Jiaojiao was also very curious about her new siblings. Although her biological mother had not birthed other children, there were many cousins and other relatives living in her old home, and she was used to being the punching bag whenever they were in a bad mood.
However, after knowing that the dress she wore and the jewelry she had been given were from her new sister, she had been nervous and worried about whether or not they would like her.
"Hello." Jiaojiao's voice was low and hesitant. She dared not even look at Xiao Jin as her eyes were lowered and she stared at the ground in hesitation.
In fact, she truly wished to be outgoing and show off her good sides, but she was too nervous and shy to actually do so.
"Hello. My name is Xiao Jin. I am a spirit. My true shape is that of a cauldron, so if we nag mother enough, I bet she will make some good pills for you to eat. They taste very good, and they often help our progress as well."
Xiao Jin was so excited that she did not know how exactly she should introduce herself in the best way. In fact, she was quite proud of being a well-known alchemist cauldron, but at the same time, she also feared that Jiaojiao might look down on her due to her origin as a tool spirit.
However, what she said made the young dragon girl raise her head with amazement in her eyes. "You are able to change your shape?"
"Yeah!" Xiao Jin finally found a great strength from seeing the wonder in the other girl's eyes, and she reached out her hand and grabbed Jiaojiao's hand.
"Come with me, I'll introduce you to our big brother. Although he is a bit weird and stubborn, he is actually a good guy.
"He isn't able to turn into anything special, but don't look down on him, he is the spirit of this entire world, and that is really amazing. In a way, he is like a god here, and everything he wants will become reality!"
Xiao Jin had at first introduced her own identity, as she subconsciously wanted to test Jiaojiao's attitude towards spirits, but after noticing the emotions in the young dragon girl's eyes, she had realized that this little girl liked them as they were.
Since she could accept their identities as spirits, Xiao Jin had to introduce Xiao Bao right away. This guy was usually very stubborn and would say hurtful things to make it seem as if he did not care, but in reality, his heart was warm, and the gestures he made could make anyone feel cared for.
Xiao Bao was unable to admit that he was actually very happy having Bai Rouyun consider him her son. He would also never admit that he felt happy to have siblings, but he would always blame his mother for forcing him to call them sisters and brothers.
All the ones who knew of Xiao Bao's existence had long since realized his awkward personality, but no one minded. This was part of the charm that showed their individuality, and they only smirked and chuckled when hearing his verbal complaints.
However, Jiaojiao did not know Xiao Bao yet, so Xiao Jin was trying to figure out a way to introduce her to this strange older brother of theirs.
The biggest problem was that Xiao Jin was unable to say anything bad about her brother, but she still wished to warn Jiaojiao, so her face scrunched up in small wrinkles as she tried to find the right way to phrase her sentences.
"Jiaojiao, don't mind Xiao Jin. She wants you to meet our older brother, but he has a strange temperament. He might seem a bit rough and arrogant, but he is actually a very warm person. He is just not used to being part of a family, since he has spent thousands of years alone."
Xiao Mao was the one who took over the conversation. He could easily guess Xiao Jin's worries, but he also knew that Xiao Bao was not a bad person. It was best to ensure that Jiaojiao understood why this so-called older brother was so awkward.
