"Your father and... mother?"
On hearing what the little girl said, the old woman felt an inexplicable pang of alarm. Although she was in the dark regarding the girl's parents' identities, she was well aware of who the little girl was.
The old woman asked tentatively, "Are they in the Human World?"
"Yep, Little Hei told me," the girl responded.
"Little Hei?" The old woman was evidently clueless about this Little Hei and a look of doubt crossed her face.
"Elder sister, Liuli is hungry. I want to eat wontons," the little girl pleaded.
"All right, please wait a moment."
The old woman seemed very attentive towards the little girl, and when she spoke, there was not the slightest hint of treating her as an ignorant little girl; instead, she addressed her as an equal or even a higher presence.
Thus, her words always carried a hint of reverence.
