The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor Chapter 2587 Side Story 91: Follow Me

At the age of five, Rong Xiaoyan and Rong Xiaoxun finally welcomed their little sister, Rong Xiaoxi.

The whole Fantasy Divine Palace erupted in joy.

A wave of relief washed over the Emperor. After five long years, he finally enjoyed favorable words from the High Priest and the others.

There was no helping it—Rong Xiaoxun and Rong Xiaoyan had stirred up far too much chaos in recent years. Even the Emperor faced constant scolding.

Now with this tiny bundle, the Emperor could turn things around at last.

Standing side by side next to the cradle, Rong Xiaoxun and Rong Xiaoyan gazed innocently at the little girl bundled up like a dumpling inside.

Curiosity sparkled in Rong Xiaoxun's eyes. "That's my little sister! She's so pretty!"

Rong Xiaoyan glanced at the frowning Rong Xiaoxi, nodded calmly, and agreed, "She's pretty."

Sister was the prettiest.

Rong Xiaoxun couldn't resist asking, "Mother, were Brother and I like this when we were little?"

Before Chu Liuyue could respond, Rong Xiu casually replied, "You weren't as cute."

Rong Xiaoxun: Woo, woo, woo.

Rong Xiaoyan was accustomed to it by now.

Thinking it over, if his little sister was the cutest in the world, wasn't it natural to fall short? So, he—who seldom agreed with his father—didn't argue and nodded vigorously in support.

Rong Xiaoxun, expecting his brother to back him up, felt baffled. "Brother, you think so too? But I thought the gifts from Ancestor and everyone were amazing. Back then, what we got—"

Were they great too?

Rong Xiaoyan's face darkened as he gritted his teeth hard. "Are you claiming Sister isn't as cute as you?"

"Of course not!" Rong Xiaoxun shot back immediately.

He smacked his lips, pondered deeply, and at last embraced the reality. "Fine, I'll rank right after Sister then. I'm second! Brother, don't compete with me!"

Rong Xiaoyan snorted. With utmost seriousness, he declared, "Sister will surely grow up intelligent, clever, well-behaved, and sensible."

What was a foolish brother? Sister was the best!

…

Rong Xiaoyan got it half correct.

Rong Xiaoxi's talent truly shone brightly, yet she had zero connection to 'obedient' or 'mature.' From the moment she could toddle and dash about, chaos reigned throughout the Fantasy Divine Palace.

This year marked Rong Xiaoxi's third birthday.

Leaning close to her brothers, her face brimmed with eager curiosity. "Big Brother, Second Brother, I want to play on the Star Path!"

This wasn't her first such plea, so the brothers showed no shock.

"What's fun about the Star Path?" Rong Xiaoxun shrugged listlessly. "It's all just Xuan formations."

Though not challenging for them, Rong Xiaoxi was still too young. She'd likely struggle to enjoy it.

"Let's head somewhere else."

Rong Xiaoxi shook her head firmly.

Her cheerful grin vanished in an instant. She lowered her gaze a bit, and a trace of letdown clouded her sparkling eyes. "I see… but I've noticed you two always going there…"

Rong Xiaoxun's heart tugged painfully. He scratched his head and glanced at Rong Xiaoyan. "Brother, how about we take Xiaoxi for a peek?"

Rong Xiaoyan stayed silent, eyeing Rong Xiaoxi coolly, as though he'd pierced her little scheme. "Promise you won't make trouble."

Rong Xiaoxi bobbed her head vigorously. "I'll be good and listen!"

She darted forward, latched onto Rong Xiaoyan's leg, and beamed adorably. "I knew Big Brother treats me the best!"

Rong Xiaoyan patted her head and clasped her tiny hand. "Let's go."

Rong Xiaoxun grabbed her other side.

The three siblings headed off to the Star Path.

…

Someone was tackling Xuan formations along the Star Path.

As they strolled past, a sharp 'shoo' rang out.

A burst of light soared skyward, weaving into a dazzling, intricate Xuan formation overhead.

Rong Xiaoxi had witnessed this spectacle countless times.

Her eyes lit up instantly. "Me, me, me! I want to try too!"

Rong Xiaoxun advised patiently, "Xiaoxi, that's a Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formation. You're not ready for that yet."

Rong Xiaoxi appeared to grasp it. But it looks so beautiful…

They arrived at the Heaven Gate.

From this point, the Star Path stretched toward the Fantasy Divine Hall, so the Xuan formations here were the easiest.

Rong Xiaoxi flailed her arms. "Second Brother, I want to see more."

This posed no challenge for Rong Xiaoxun anymore.

He consented without hesitation.

With a sweep of his hands, streams of light shot forth.

In moments, a Xuan formation glowed to life.

Rong Xiaoxi observed with delight. Then she stepped aside and mimicked with her little hands. "Like this?"

Rong Xiaoxun opened his mouth to reply when the Xuan formation before Rong Xiaoxi ignited!

She had actually triggered it!

Stunned, Rong Xiaoxun thought: Even Brother and I might not have managed a Xuan formation at this level at her age. How could Rong Xiaoxi…

Rong Xiaoyan arched his brows faintly, unsurprised. "How many can you do?"

Caught in the act, Rong Xiaoxi felt sheepish and giggled awkwardly.

In truth, she'd been sneaking over often. After watching so many times, she'd picked it up naturally.

She balled her tiny fist, pressed it to her lips, and coughed lightly. "N-not many…"

Rong Xiaoyan probed, "Then do you know the Xuan formation that person just activated?"

Rong Xiaoxi yelped in surprise, then admitted obediently, "No."

Rong Xiaoyan tugged her along and soon reached the individual.

Spotting the three young ancestors abruptly, the man bowed hastily.

Rong Xiaoyan motioned dismissively for him to relax and keep going.

The man was now attempting a fresh Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formation.

Rong Xiaoxi pursed her lips. "Big Brother, I really don't know how…"

Ignoring her, Rong Xiaoyan indicated the man. "You're mistaken right here."

The man froze, then paled in alarm. "Thank you—"

"Aiya! That's wrong! Big Brother, you indicated the wrong spot!" Rong Xiaoxi blurted out upon glancing over.

Her words hung in the air, silencing everyone.

The atmosphere turned exceedingly awkward.

Rong Xiaoxun hurried up. Hearing this, enlightenment dawned, twisting his features oddly. "Xiaoxi, you know this one too? So… those times you slipped out to play, you were setting up the Xuan formations? I even got punished by Ancestor for it!"

Rong Xiaoxi: "Ahem, keep it quiet."

Rong Xiaoyan curved his lips faintly. "What other ones do you know?"

…

Rong Xiaoxi trudged back to the Fantasy Divine Hall, plopping dejectedly onto her personal swing.

Sigh. Though Big Brother and Second Brother vowed to keep covering for her, getting found out left her downhearted. No more carefree outings now.

All of a sudden, a gentle push came from behind, setting the swing swaying softly.

Startled, she whipped around and spotted a green sparrow.

Green flames enveloped its body, and its ruby-red eyes gleamed pure and bright. It cocked its head at her.

"Ninth-grade… green sparrow?" Rong Xiaoxi murmured in astonishment. The Fantasy Divine Palace doesn't have a fiend like this, does it?

"Where'd you come from?" She leaped off the swing, dashed to the green sparrow, and asked softly.

The green sparrow stayed mute, simply watching her in silence.

Rong Xiaoxi extended her hand. "Want to play with me?"

It seemed to mull it over. Moments later, it fluttered up and settled into her palms.

Dipping its head, its fluffy crown nuzzled her tender palm.

It had no memory of its identity or origins.

"Xiaoxi?" A crisp, melodious woman's voice called out.

Rong Xiaoxi sprang up, spun around, and shouted joyfully, "Mother! I'm here!"

The green sparrow peered over.

There stood a stranger, breathtakingly alluring woman.

It blinked.

A single tear slid down.

Rong Xiaoxi's heart clenched at the sight, and she stroked it gently. "Don't fret! My mother's super kind! No family? Then… stick with me from now on?"

It nodded.

Alright, I'll follow her.
