Chapter 22 -21: The Wolf in Grandma’s Clothing
“Xuanyuan young master, this is the mutton stuffed bun made by my mother, it’s incredibly delicious!”
“These are persimmons grown in my family’s orchard! They are extremely, extremely sweet!”
“These are dates from my family’s trees, they’re crispy and exceptionally tasty when you bite into them!”
“I picked these millets on the mountain, they are very fragrant and glutinous, super, super delicious!”
Ruo Xuan took items one by one from her father and brothers, then stuffed them into Xuanyuan Que’s hands.
Soon Xuanyuan Que’s little hands were full, and two baskets were hanging from his little arms.
“This is a stone lion carved by my third uncle, very hard and majestic! Particularly good-looking!”
As Ruo Xuan was about to stuff the little stone lion into Xuanyuan Que’s hands, Shopkeeper Gu busily said, “Little girl, give that to me! Give that one to me!”
With so many items, he really feared they might crush the young master’s feet.
So Ruo Xuan handed the stone lion to him.
Shopkeeper Gu took it but almost dropped it on his own foot!
“Why is it so heavy?” Shopkeeper Gu blurted out instinctively.
Seeing the little girl easily holding the little stone lion, he had assumed it wasn’t very heavy, but it turned out to be quite hefty.
Where did this little girl with incredible strength come from?
Ruo Xuan looked at him in surprise, “Heavy? Grandfather Gu, you must be too weak.”
Shopkeeper Gu: “…”
“Pfft… cough cough!” Ruo Shui almost burst into laughter, hastily covering it up with a cough and then came to Shopkeeper Gu’s rescue, “Our family has a hereditary gift of strength.”
Xuanyuan Que glancing at Ruo Xuan thought, Although reincarnated as human, she still retained some of the plant’s characteristics; ordinary grass roots can break through rocks and penetrate three feet deep into the earth, which shows the extent of their strength, while the roots of a centenarian Flower Demon possess unrivalled flexibility and tenacity among all things in the world.
Shopkeeper Gu’s old face turned red with embarrassment as he hurriedly said, “Admirable! Admirable!”
The old lady hiding behind the curtain nearly laughed out loud too.
Where had such a lovely and beautiful little girl come from?
She was indeed beautiful!
She could compete with her grandson’s divine-like appearance.
She was the spitting image of a Little Fairy!
What was most important was that the little girl was spirited; look at how well she could speak despite her young age.
Her grandson was too subdued, capable of going a whole day without speaking a word.
All he did was sit there and read books all day long; he had almost read all the books in the world.
It would be nice if he could make a friend to play with.
She then lifted the curtain and stepped out, “Xiaojiu, is this a new friend you’ve made? Why not invite them to play in the back garden?”
Seeing the distinguished old woman who walked out, wearing a garb of grace and luxury, Ruo Shui didn’t want her to misunderstand anything and declined respectfully yet firmly, “I apologize for intruding, madam. Yesterday, the young master gave us a piece of rock, and my daughter liked it very much. We happened to be coming to the city today, so we brought some mountain goods for the young master. We need to hurry back to the village, afraid that if we’re late we’ll have to travel at night, so we must be going.”
Xuanyuan Que hadn’t found the opportunity to ask about what exactly happened with that bolt of heavenly lightning, so how could he possibly let this flower leave?
He said to Ruo Xuan, “The pastry chef at my house makes delicious flower pastries, do you want to try some?”
When the old lady saw her grandson actually speaking up to keep visitors, she was both surprised and delighted and quickly said, “No trouble, no trouble! Children can’t stand hunger. It’s better to eat some pastries before leaving so you won’t be hungry on the road.”
After speaking, she looked kindly towards Ruo Xuan and Ruo Hang, and the other children, “Granny’s house has flower pastries, fruit tea, and rabbit candies, would you like to eat some before you go back home?”
Shopkeeper Gu’s mouth twitched; the old lady was as cunning as a wolf wrapped in grandma’s clothes trying to lure little goats!
Ruo Hang and the other children’s eyes held a tinge of wariness as they clutched their sister’s clothes and remained silent.
Xuanyuan Que gave Ruo Xuan a signal with his eyes.
Ruo Xuan knew Divine Lord Xuanyuan had something to say to her, so she said, “Alright! Thank you, Young Master Xuanyuan, Elder Madam.”
Ruo Shui: “…”
Several brothers: “…”
Xuanbao was still too naive, she didn’t have any guard up against people at all!
For a bit of food, she would just follow someone, she could be easily taken away.
She would need a good lesson when they got back!
Ruo Shui once again refused, “Thank you, young master, for your invitation, but we still have things to do, so we won’t bother you! Xuanbao, don’t you still have things to buy?”
Ruo Shui winked at Ruo Xuan.
Ruo Xuan dared not disobey Divine Lord Xuanyuan, what if he had something important to remind her about?
“Father, I won’t buy it anymore, I’ll save the silver for studying. Hard to turn down such kindness, we’ll leave after the refreshments.” Her father and second uncle loved reading so much, of course they should continue.
And her several brothers, she had seen them just now in the bookstore, their eyes glued to those books.
Once her father became a Scholar, we’ll see who dares to humiliate him!
The elder madam became even happier, seeing how sensible the little girl was, at such a young age, she knew to save the silver for reading.
How could she let go of such a cute and sensible child who could be friends with her grandson?
At the very least, she needed to find out where the other party lived, so next time she could take her grandson to visit them!
She warmly said, “Come, come, come… have some snacks, quickly go inside! Are the kids hungry? Brother, don’t be polite! Rest assured, I’m not a bad person. If you’re afraid of the dark, I’ll have someone send you back home, it’s rare for the kids to get along so well. Come on, please come inside!”
“Thank you, Elder Madam.” Ruo Xuan followed Xuanyuan Que towards the backyard.
Ruo Shui was helpless; he wasn’t being polite, he was petrified.
Bad people always say they’re not bad!
An offer too eager is either a trap or a plot.
This elder madam was way too enthusiastic.
But what could he do when his darling daughter wouldn’t cooperate?
And so, the family was warmly ushered inside.
Two quarters of an hour later, in the courtyard adorned with flowers and silks.
Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.
Ruo Xuan and Xuanyuan Que had finished their refreshments and were watching the ants move house by the flower beds.
Ruo Hang, Ruo Bo, and Ruo Xian were being led by Ancient Shopkeeper feeding the koi.
The elder madam was having a casual conversation with Ruo Shui and Ruo Zhou under the parasol tree.
Xuanyuan Que asked in a low voice, “What was with the heavenly thunder yesterday? Didn’t I warn you not to use Immortal Technique to harm others?”
Ruo Xuan’s grape-like eyes, clear and innocent, looked at him as she explained, “I didn’t use Immortal Technique to harm anyone, the thunderbolt was sent by the Heavenly Dao itself.”
Xuanyuan Que looked into her eyes, innocent and pure, frowning—was the thunderbolt really sent by himself? Impossible!
Thinking about those persimmons and dates she brought with Spiritual Energy, he still warned her, “If you use Immortal Technique and the mortals discover it, you’ll be seen as a demon and burned alive; if you use Immortal Technique to harm others, after death your soul will also suffer the punishment of Heavenly Dao’s thunderbolt, till you’re reduced to ashes. It’s up to you to decide!”
He had neither the power nor the obligation to save her again.
“Divine Lord Xuanyuan, rest assured, the Heavenly Dao won’t punish me! I use Immortal Technique to carry out justice on heaven’s behalf, I’m helping the Heavenly Dao with its duties!”
Divine Lord Xuanyuan: …What sort of twisted logic is this?
Ruo Xuan, thinking herself very clever, couldn’t help but share how she carried out justice on heaven’s behalf, “Divine Lord Xuanyuan, you don’t know how bad some people in this world can be…”
Little Flower Fairy chattered on and on, clueless that she was giving herself away!
Xuanyuan Que just silently watched her animated expression.
