Back For My Daughter

In a place which was filled with mountains which seemed to be already touching the clouds while the trees on the land looked something completely different from that of the Earth.

A little girl held a pout on her lips while her cheeks were puffed with annoyance as she said discontentedly.

"NO! Master lies to Qing'er, even junior brother Quo is a finger taller than Qing'er."

The little girl didn't look much older than 6 years old, but was very adorable and also wearing a robe that looked really exquisitely made for her.

"Haha, that's not how it is."

The young man in front of her who was sitting on a boulder said after he arranged her hair into a small bun laughed out and shook his head.

"Your junior brother Quo is a boy and so his growth is a bit fast."

The man looked as if he didn't understand how he should convince the little girl in front of him and used an explanation that he felt would be enough.

Although the girl looked a bit dissatisfied with the reason what her master had said, she still didn't say stop him from arranging her hair.

"Hehe, so junior sister Qing'er ran here."

A girl about the age of 8 came skipping right behind the little girl and called out.

"Hmm."

The young man nodded and then asked.

"What really happened, Yin'er?"

The little girl called Yin'er giggled while sitting beside the young man on the boulder after patting some of the dust off with elegance and then continued.

"Master, junior sister Qing'er and all of us were playing but then we saw a tree that had really delicious fruit, we each tried to get it but it was really very tall, then senior brother Yan suggested for Qing'er to stand on his shoulder and try to pick up the fruit saying that I will be heavy for him to lift."

"Ohh, then?"

Their master understood this but was not sure why would Qing'er in front of him be behaving like this.

"Then, senior brother did pick junior sister Qing'er on his shoulder, but she was also not able to get the fruit."

"Later, junior bother Quo came on the tree spirit and then told it to pick the fruit."

"Hmm."

The young man nodded.

"But junior sister Qing'er didn't wait and rushed here before we could take the fruit."

The young man thought for a moment before remembering all the words that Yin'er had said and then smiled wryly.

"Looks like Qing'er felt bad because she could not pick the fruit by herself since it was just a finger away."

As he muttered he looked at Qing'er her arms crossed under her chest and turned to face her back.

"HUMPH!"

She harrumphed making the two smile.

"It's alright, it's not like it will matter, finally you did get the fruit right."

"Yes yes, mater is right, senior and junior brothers are rushing here as well."

Yin'er nodded her head hastily as she pointed her thing finger in front of them only to see that there was a horse which seemed to be made of wood was galloping towards them while leaving a trail of dust while two boys sat on it while one at the back was holding a shiny fruit that was about the size of someone's head.

"NEIIGGHHH!"

After a few moments, the horse that seemed to be made of wood stopped with a neigh and the two boys jumped from its back.

"Master look what we found!"

The elder boy beamed as he quickly pulled the boy behind him and brought it in front of them.

"Umm, this is long bloom glob."

The young man almost could not help but laugh seeing the fruit in the boy's hand.

"Huh, master, do you know what does it do?"

The smallest boy who was also holding the fruit in his hand asked in amazement.

"It...it helped in increasing your height."

The young man tried to hold back his laughter.

"Ohh!"

"Then it would be better if Qing'er were to eat it, she will get tall."

Even before anyone could think of the girl named Yin'er and the two boys said out in unison while turning to Qing'er who had just heard their master's words and was shocked.

"Hmm."

The young man nodded with a mysterious smile on his face as if he was curious to see what would happen next.

"Senior sister, see, this fruit will help anyone to get tall, you should eat it."

The youngest boy who was named Quo called out while extending the shiny orange coloured fruit to Qing'er who was taking some sneak peeks at the fruit from time to time.

After being called Qing'er turned around and shook her head seeing the three of them looking at her with gazes telling her to have it soon fearing that it would lose its medicinal properties.

"NO!"

But out of everyone's expectations, Qing'er shook her head.

"If we eat we will eat it together, Qing'er won't eat it alone, just because Qing'er needs to grow tall."

"But but, junior sister Qing'er, this way the fruit will have no effect at all."

The eldest boy who was named Yan expressed in a hurry.

"Master said that fruits like such should be eaten completely or it will not have any effect at all."

Yin'er who was sitting on the boulder right next to their master said while turning to him.

"Am I right master?"

"Hmm."

The handsome young man who was also their master nodded and then looked at Qing'er with a profound gaze.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Qing'er didn't budge even a bit and shook her head again.

"If Qing'er eats, then Qing'er eats with everyone or not at all."

Although she had just now asked her master why she was the shortest and had even been dissatisfied with it, she didn't accept the thought that she would eat the fruit that all of them had worked hard to get.
