Thinking of the vengeful spirit, Ye Jiushang had a bad feeling. For safety reasons, he took out a purple bracelet from his interspatial ring and personally placed it on Xue Fanxin’s hand. “This is the Purple Buddha Bracelet. It is a Dharma artifact that counters vengeful spirits. When I’m not around, you have to wear it at all times. You are not to take it off, and you can’t let others use it. I’ve set a secret technique on this bracelet. Only you can use it. Others might not even be able to touch it.”

The reason he did this was to ensure Xin’er’s absolute safety.

This girl was too kind. For the sake of her family and friends, she would take any risk. He did not want anything to happen to her, so he could only use this method to protect her.

“Ah Jiu, I know what you mean. Thank you! Do you have any other artifacts that have similar effects?” To not make him worry for her safety, she wore the Purple Buddha Bracelet obediently. She would think of another way to protect the others.

“There are some spirit talismans, but they are useless against powerful vengeful spirits. Furthermore, the method of using them is a little complicated. Your cultivation level is too low. You can’t activate the power of the talisman. It’s useless even if I give it to you.”

“Er… Am I that weak?”

“You just haven’t become stronger yet.”

Ye Jiushang was really good at talking. He looked oblivious to fancy talk, but every word and action of his could tug at one’s heartstrings.

Xue Fanxin leaned on Ye Jiushang’s shoulder. She stayed quietly with him and cherished the time they had together. “Ah Jiu, I’ll work hard to become stronger and fight alongside you.”

Ye Jiushang hugged her back, pulling her onto his body. He tilted his head slightly and pressed it against her head. “I believe you. One day, you will stand beside me shoulder to shoulder.”

“I’ll definitely become that person as soon as possible. Ah Jiu, I know that the Nine Cloud Palace is too far away from me. I won’t understand even if you tell me, so I won’t ask. But can you tell me Little Lei’s identity?”

“Little Lei?”

“Yes, Little Lei. I want to know his story.”

Ye Jiushang seemed a little hesitant. In the end, he said, “Little Lei is a little special. He’s not a human.”

“Then what is he?”

“To be precise, he’s not a complete human.”

“What do you mean? Can you be more detailed?”

“Little Lei’s father was the ancient divine beast, the Purple Lightning Divine Dragon. His mother was a human, so his bloodline was not pure. The Divine Dragon Clan could not tolerate his presence among them. His father found me and entrusted Little Lei to me. After that day, Little Lei’s father never appeared again. Little Lei has been following me ever since.”

“I see.”

No wonder Little Lei did not care about his parents. It was really as he had said. His parents did not want him anymore.

Poor Little Lei. If not for his strong willpower, he would not be so carefree and energetic.

“The Divine Dragon Clan values the purity of the bloodline the most. Even if Little Lei has their bloodline and the divine power of the Divine Dragon Clan has been awakened, they just can’t accept him. The Divine Dragon Clan is too mysterious. I was lucky to see them once, so I can’t help Little Lei find out what’s going on with his parents.”

If not for a coincidence back then, he probably would not have seen that divine dragon.

Perhaps this was fate. It was precisely because he had seen that dragon back then that he had entrusted Little Lei to him.

Actually, Little Lei was not bad.
