Chapter 51: Chapter 49 The Rain Comes
Chapter 51 -49 The Rain Comes
After settling on a time, Ruo Xuan finally had the mood to pay attention to other matters. She looked at the Heavenly Silkworm babies on the winnowing basket, “Brother Xuanyuan, are you using Fusang leaves to raise the Heavenly Silkworms?”
Ruo Xuan wanted to reach out and touch these adorable Heavenly Silkworms but Xuanyuan Que grabbed her chubby little paw, “Don’t touch them recklessly!”
These Heavenly Silkworms must not come into contact with the aura of ordinary humans; once they do, they will no longer produce silk.
Did she still want the Qiankun Bag or not?
Remembering her current mortal body, Ruo Xuan withdrew her paw, “Brother Xuanyuan, how did you revive the Heavenly Silkworms from the Heavenly Worm Stone?”
That’s way too incredible!
Xuanyuan Que did not answer her question, “What about a mad dog?”
“I sensed the aura of a half-demon mad dog on my uncle’s body.”
Xuanyuan Que: …
In a world where Spiritual Energy was scarce, humans, being the most intelligent animals, could not become spirits, let alone other animals, unless…
“You shouldn’t go after it, you won’t be able to defeat it.”
Ruo Xuan got indignant upon hearing this, why couldn’t she, a fully awakened spiritual flower, defeat a half-awakened mad dog?
Xuanyuan Que looked at her pouting with an unconvinced expression and averted his gaze, speaking indifferently, “You are now human, you can’t perform a single Immortal Technique.”
Ruo Xuan: …
Such a blow to the flower!
Just then, Lady Xuanyuan, feeling tired, needed to rest and have something to eat. She gestured from afar to the two children, “Xuanbao, Xiaojiu, come over and have some pastries!”
Ruo Xuan hurried over delightedly!
Today there were coconut milk jellies shaped like various animals, butterfly pastries, and chestnut cakes, as well as honeydew, grapes, and pomegranates that all looked very delicious.
Xuanyuan Que came over unhurriedly and sat down next to her. By that time, Ruo Xuan had already finished a rabbit-shaped and a goat-shaped coconut milk jelly, with a bit of the jelly smeared at the corners of her mouth.
Lady Xuanyuan handed a napkin to Xuanyuan Que as she saw this, “Xiaojiu, wipe Xuanbao’s mouth.”
Xuanyuan Que took it, intending to hand it over to a certain flower.
Ruo Xuan, spoiled by her older brothers at home, stretched out her neck.
Xuanyuan Que: …Could this flower be any lazier?
But considering she was still young and indeed a flower, and when leaves got dusty, it was humans who helped clean them.
So, he wiped her mouth for her.
Some things, once started, tend to happen again. By the end of the snack, he had wiped her mouth three times and her hands twice.
Lady Xuanyuan, with a smile in her eyes, watched her grandson who was becoming increasingly lively and decided to invite Xuanbao over to the house more often in the future.
Only when he was with Xuanbao did her grandson seem like a normal person with emotions and desires.

That night, in a room at the General Residence with its doors and windows tightly shut, rows of shelves were arranged around, all lit with oil lamps.
The walls, doors, and windows of the room were covered with talisman characters.
Master Xuan Ling was holding a large brush, drawing complex and obscure talismans on the ground.
After a long while, he put away the brush and once he uttered a spell, the talismans around the room emitted a bright light, then vanished!
Madam Zhou, now unable to walk and sitting in a wheelchair, her eye gleaming, asked, “Master Xuan Ling, is the formation complete?”
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
“Everything is ready, just waiting for the fortunate children from the Ruo Family.”
He had checked their birth charts; the children of the Ruo Family indeed had good destinies.
“I’ll make sure to bring the people from the Ruo Family as soon as possible!”
Outside, the sky suddenly grew windy, followed by the “drip-drop” of heavy rain.
Master Xuan Ling frowned, took out several copper coins, and tossed them, then laughed as he looked outside, “This rain is no ordinary one; it’s a great opportunity!”
Amidst natural disasters, while people hurriedly flee for their lives, wouldn’t it be easy to snatch a few kids or do something else?
*
With a loud “clang”, the sound of something heavy being blown over came from outside.
County Magistrate Zhang suddenly sat up as a carp leaps: “It’s started to rain!”
The wife of the County Magistrate also sat up: “This rain is very heavy.”
County Magistrate Zhang threw off the covers: “No, I must go check on the river dike.”
His wife hurriedly grabbed hold of him: “The rain has just started, the river won’t rise that quickly.”
“I know, but I’m worried. Continue sleeping, I’ll go take a look!” This time, even when the State Preceptor was brought out, not many of the county’s people believed it, out of tens of thousands of acres of fields in the entire county, only a few thousand acres were harvested in advance!
And the river dike hasn’t been fully repaired yet, there’s still a small section left.
How can he feel at ease with the rain pouring down like this?
Luckily, he had ordered people to clear out the drainage ditches in the city; otherwise, his anxiety would be even greater.
He quickly got out of bed, dressed, and returned to the Governor’s Office, bringing people with him to reinforce the river dike overnight.
If some sections of the Xishui River’s dike were to break, the floodwaters would be unstoppable!

Ruo Family
Madam Liu was awakened by the loud “bang” of a window being shut.
Ruo Shui gently patted his wife, and comforted her: “Don’t be afraid, it’s just the sound of the wind blowing the window.”
“It’s raining, a bit noisy outside.”
“Hmm. It’s none of our business, let’s sleep!” Ruo Shui heard the villagers shouting as they went to harvest the rice.
They had already warned their own family, and even been mocked and ridiculed by the people in the village, who now even wanted to claim compensation from them!
Ruo Shui couldn’t care less whether they were dead or alive; he wrapped his wife in his arms, covered her ears to spare her the disturbance of the wind and rain, and they went back to sleep together.
Madam Liu was only worried about one thing: “The houses at the Academy are old, I wonder if dad’s house is leaking.”
“Don’t worry! The day before yesterday, when I went into town to deliver Zizania, I helped dad with the repairs. If you’re still concerned, I’ll go to town tomorrow to check. Sweetheart, sleep now.”
With no worries on their minds, the couple quickly fell asleep, embracing each other once again.
Ruo Xuan slept with Granny Lei, having already returned to sleep with her parents a few days before. But the noises associated with human reproduction were simply too loud; even though her parents tried their best to restrain themselves and even hung a curtain to separate them, it still disturbed her practice. So, the next day, she went back to sleep with Granny.
How she longed for her own room, where the sunlight would stream in at dawn, and the moonlight would cast its glow across the bed at night.
The windows in her home were too small to let in sufficient light during the day.
She liked bright rooms!
Ruo Xuan only woke up briefly before she continued to sleep and practice her “Immortal Technique.”
Just like a flower, she could absorb the sunlight and dew.
That night, the howling wind and rain woke up the entire county!
But only a few felt that a downpour was normal and quickly fell asleep again.
Others, concerned that the State Preceptor’s prediction might come true, rushed into the fields in the middle of the night to salvage their crops in the pouring rain.
That night, very few families managed to sleep peacefully.
~
The next day, Ruo Xuan woke up to find that it was still raining, the downpour relentless.
It continued to pour heavily until noon, unrelentingly intense.
The entire sky was dark and gloomy.
Madam Jiang looked at the cascading water from the eaves, filled with concern: “How long will this rain last? When will it clear up? With rain like this, the river is going to rise, won’t it?”
Ruo Xuan stared at the hazy sky, with moisture everywhere, knowing only that the moisture was heavy and a lot of rain would fall, but for how long? At least two or three days before it would let up.
Granny Lei also seemed somewhat worried: “Didn’t our fifth brother say he was coming home today? How can he return in such heavy rain?”
Ruo Chuan: “Mother, don’t worry. Fourth brother went into town early this morning, he said he would come back with fifth brother.”
Madam Liu had only three sisters, and her mother passed away early. Now that all three sisters were married, Old Man Liu lived alone in the Academy, and Ruo Shui, concerned for his well-being, had set off early to check on the elderly gentleman in town.
Just then, the courtyard gate was suddenly knocked on violently, shaking in its frame. The village chief’s voice pierced through the layers of heavy rain and entered everyone’s ears: “Ruo Shui, Ruo He, are you brothers at home? Hurry up and go reinforce the river dike! The river is rising!”
