Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3041: Not Even Pretending

Once she uttered those words, the stunned gazes of everyone shifted straight to Little Junior Sister, all fixed intently on her mouth.

"Is she truly mute? Little Junior Sister, speak up, quick!" Fifth Senior Brother stared at Little Junior Sister with alarm and worry, pressing her urgently to say something.

They were all aware that Little Junior Sister couldn't utter a single word right now.

"Ah, ah."

Little Junior Sister was utterly unable to speak and could only stamp her feet again and again.

"Could that fish actually be poisonous?"

Senior Sister Jun muttered softly. She had previously cautioned Little Junior Sister that the fish she caught seemed odd, yet Little Junior Sister refused to listen.

Still, she cast a covert glance at Fifth Senior Brother, finding him even more bizarre.

Moreover, when she reported to Second Senior Brother about Little Junior Sister catching the fish, he dismissed it entirely, just saying since Little Junior Sister wanted it, she could grill and eat it.

During the grilling earlier, she had caught Fifth Senior Brother's sneaky actions, slipping some mysterious substance—unknown even to her as an alchemist—into Little Junior Sister's roasted fish.

Her remark was merely to hint to Little Junior Sister that the loss of voice came from the fish she consumed, not from any other person.

"Fish?"

Fifth Senior Brother pretended to be completely shocked by her statement.

"Little Junior Sister, did you devour all that fish?"

Inside, he silently berated Little Junior Sister as a greedy pig—so much fish! Usually, three to five people could handle it without trouble, but she gobbled it all up alone?

Cultivators, despite their greater appetites over mortals, still wouldn't eat that quantity.

Heh, it was sheer selfishness, believing that since she caught the fish, even if ruined, others shouldn't have any. The heap of half-eaten, discarded fish scraps beside her proved it.

It was truly disheartening to remember how he and Second Senior Brother had always indulged Little Junior Sister, satisfying every demand she made.

But today, even after his sharp rebukes, shouldn't Little Junior Sister have at least shared a fish with Second Senior Brother?

She hadn't, not even making a show of it.

Just then, Little Junior Sister gazed in horror at the mound of leftover grilled fish.

Was it really these strange fish she'd never encountered before that silenced her completely?

"Ah, ah."

She shook her head fiercely, unable to accept the foolish mistake she'd made.

She had never behaved this way previously; even furious at Second and Fifth Senior Brother, she shouldn't have toyed with her own health. If her voice never returned, wouldn't it be over for her?

Contemplating that fate instantly paled her face. How had it reached this stage?

No, she wouldn't surrender; there had to be a way to cure herself.

Immediately after, her eyes locked onto Alchemist Senior Sister Jun, brightening with hope as she rushed toward her.

"Ah, ah."

She stretched one hand out to Senior Sister Jun while wildly flapping the other.

"Little Junior Sister, what's going on...?"

Senior Sister Jun grew dizzy from the frantic waving, steadying herself before asking uncertainly.

"You want me to take your pulse?"

"Mm, mm."

Little Junior Sister nodded vigorously.

Right now, she held no disdain for Senior Sister Jun anymore, tears streaming down her cheeks as she gazed at her.

"This..."

Senior Sister Jun threw a hesitant glance at Fifth Senior Brother.
