Chapter 1510: Chapter 1498: The Mark on the Forehead, Sword of Heavenly Retribution_1 Chapter 1510: Chapter 1498: The Mark on the Forehead, Sword of Heavenly Retribution_1 The greedy flames crawled up the firewood, bringing some warmth to the small mountain cave.
Little Yun Xuan was very sensible, skillfully using branches to roast cooked meat and toasted biscuits over the fire. Once they were warm, she took them down and obediently brought them before Mu Fan.
“Big brother isn't hungry, you eat.”
In the early Golden Core stage, Mu Fan no longer needed worldly food to fill his stomach; merely breathing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was enough for him to survive.
The dried meat and toasted biscuits he carried with him were prepared for Baoya and Hunao. The two cute pets had large appetites and always needed some food on hand.
“Yun Xuan is full after a little bit, big brother should eat.”
Little Yun Xuan didn't understand the truth and wrongly assumed that big brother was reluctant to eat due to the scarcity of food, intentionally saving it for her. Touched, she tore off a small piece of the biscuit and stuffed the rest into Mu Fan's hand.
“There's still a lot of dried meat and biscuits, enough to eat.”
Mu Fan's eyes flashed; understanding Little Yun Xuan's intention, he didn't bother to explain further. A gentle wave of Spiritual Power sent a long string of dried meat and biscuits, along with a plate, flying out of the Storage Ring and neatly arranged before Little Yun Xuan.
Hunao entered the cave, reverting back to the size of a small civet. Smelling the fragrance of meat, it dashed over with short legs, picked up a piece of dried meat, and happily chewed on it, bite by bite.
“Uh.”
Looking at the six full plates of biscuits and dried meat, Little Yun Xuan's brain released two drops of cold sweat.
Well, she was both ignorant and unworldly, so she had misunderstood big brother's kindness.
Since there was so much meat and biscuits, she would not hold back.
It really was delicious to roast biscuits!
Even better than the shortbread Mother used to make.
Little Yun Xuan ate the biscuits with delight, momentarily forgetting the sadness of her parents' tragic death and the subsequent separation. Her eyes curved into crescents.

As expected, Baoya did not disappoint and caught a mother antelope from the depths of the snow mountain.
The mother antelope had abundant milk. Seeing the newly born baby, she treated him like her own child, tenderly licking his small face and allowing Little Yun Xuan to squeeze out goat milk to feed her brother.
The four-month-old Little Yun Xiao had a pair of palm-sized, colorful wings on his back.
When sleeping, the wings shrank into a tiny ball. When awoken and full of milk, he happily chuckled, and the wings would spread out, flapping adorably on his back.
Little Yun Xuan held her brother, rubbing her face affectionately against his, her heart growing soft and tender.
In that moment, the eight-year-old girl resolved that she would raise her brother, no matter how difficult the future might be.
“Your brother's forehead?”
Using the light from the fire, Mu Fan carefully examined Little Yun Xiao. His puzzled eyes moved from the wings to the baby's forehead, and he felt a sudden chill, sensing a bad premonition: “This sword-like birthmark, was it there since birth?”
“Yes.”
Little Yun Xuan gently stroked her brother's forehead, casting a slightly nervous glance at him.
“Don't be scared, I have no ill intentions.”
Noticing her anxiety, Mu Fan softly explained, “I just think this birthmark is quite special; your brother's origins may not be simple.”
“What's so special about this birthmark?”
Little Yun Xuan hugged her brother's arm, shivering, her eyes trembling as she looked at him.
“I remember, when I was a child, I once saw such a passage in an ancient book in the library.”
Mu Fan pondered, recalling the contents of the book, “If a True Immortal of the Immortal Realm commits an offense against the heavenly decree, they will be punished and descend to the mortal realm, becoming a fallen immortal. They will bear a sword-like mark on their forehead.”
“According to the ancient records, this mark is called the Sword of Heavenly Retribution, always engraved on their forehead. Even through reincarnation, it will not disappear.”
