After their
departure, First Elder personally inquired about Eleventh Elder’s whereabout!
The
information he obtained did not make him happy; quite contrarily, he looked
angry. Obviously things did not go as he had planned.
Finally,
First Elder passed down another order, “Keep an eye out on him, and let him
experience some hardship. Hrm!”
Other than
the Cheng’s, the two at the city of Yin also had very different reaction. When
Gu Gaoyi’s wife Yan Qingqing heard about the treatment of her son at the
Cheng’s, she was so angry she started shouting about them loudly, cursing just
about every member of the Cheng’s family!
“Gu Gaoyi, I
am going to make it clear right here right now. There’s no way this unruly brat
of the Cheng’s is marrying to our family. You go immediately to Willow Village
to cancel this engagement. I will never accept such an untalented and unkind brat
as my daughter-in-law!”
Gu Gaoyi did
not respond to his wife’s words. When he told her about the award from the
royals, her arrogance diminished by quite a bit.
After a long
while, the unreconciled Yan Qingqing said through gritted teeth, “I don’t care!
You must ask for justice for our son. My son was not to be insulted by that unruly
brat!”
“Stop
calling her an ‘unruly brat’, her status is higher than yours now. Hrm!”
“What you
hrm’ing me for? If you are so great then why don’t you go get yourself the
title of a count too? You couldn’t, could you? Then you have no grounds to say
that to me!”
“You! You
are unreasonable!”
Gu Gaoyi,
who was in a foul mood, got up and left!
Now that he
was gone, even if Yan Qingqing wanted to continue with her tantrum, she no
longer has an audience. She still felt unjust and continued to mumble to
herself, “That damn brat Cheng Xiao Xiao, you think you could be so arrogant
because of your dad? Hrm, just wait till you married into this family. I’ll let
you know what it meant by obeying your husband. How dare you treated my son
that way? Have you no respect for me at all?”
After Cheng
Xiao Xiao had settled all the family matters on hand, she decided to go walk
around the towns nearby and see if she could find anyone who would be of use to
her family.
“Xiao Xiao,
you are going out?”
Mrs. Cheng
was plenty surprised when she found out. She didn’t think her daughter would be
leaving the house at this hour.
Cheng Xiao
Xiao nodded at her mother, “Yes, mom. I am going to take a trip outside. I will
be back in a few days!”
“No! You are
a girl, what do you mean to take a trip? I don’t feel comfortable with that. If
you have anything matters that need taking care of, have your dad do it for
you, or one of your shi xiongs.
Anyone, but you can’t go by yourself because you are a girl!”
Mrs. Cheng
didn’t even give it a thought but objected vehemently. After her daughter’s
explanation, she continued to say, “Xiao Xiao, you have never left the house
before. You have no idea how dangerous it is outside. All the cultivators, they
will blow up over a verbal altercation and kill others. Others have bad
intention and they will target girls like you. No matter what you have to take
care of, listen to your mother, you can’t go out!”
“Mom, it
will be alright, okay?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao while holding her mother’s hand
and smiling, “Mom, am I the type that let others take advantage of me? No
commoners are my match. On top of that, mom, you know that I have a lot of
mystical beasts with me. I can just scare a bunch of people to death. Even if
they are dumb and want to fight them. Okay, they maybe able to take on one. But
what about two? Three? Eight? Ten? What about several dozens or even several
hundreds?”

Chapters are very short. Atleast update 2 chps per day.
ReplyDeleteWelp! I guess we are all entitled to our own opinion, your country of residence notwithstanding.
DeleteThese chapters are getting shorter and shorter. They’re not chapters but paragraphs.
Deletei actually dislike her mother i skip every time she mentions having a husband i feel angry
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Yet, the mother does not realize that her daughter has new memories and is a virtually different person than before. She is just trying to protect her with a flawed idea that would work in universe but just not for her.
DeleteDoes not make it any less aggravating to read. LOL
DeleteI agree for you mean. And memoris don't in no way affect their relationship, because MC is summoner. For example, Girl from Mystic palace come to Willow Village only with a maid. And family Gu is very stupid, MC has the opportunity to choose a groom from better families and ruined relationship with MC family. Chinese novel make you feel angry and doubt the characters have brain salthough then you feel better when the MC slaps them in the face
DeleteHaaaaaaaa!!! Like she would ever want to get married to your family! All you can do is dream about it now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!!
Thank you
ReplyDeleteSeveral days trip? Does she even imagine how big empire is? Even if she travels on fast beast, she won't be able to find necessary people so fast, while collecting new animals and plants.
ReplyDeleteOH, but you forgot that the dimension also acts as a teleporter...
DeleteShe is not Zhao Hai, as far as I remember, her teleportation ability is limite.
DeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteI feel conflicted with Xiaos Xiaos Mom. IT FELT LIKE A DIFFERENT CHARACTER from when I first read her on the early chapters. NOW, her character is kind of a let down.
ReplyDeleteI am really annoyed at her mom. I know that she has the historical mentality but she freaking lets her daughter handle everyone who comes along and hides in their house, but letting her go outside is dangerous. Like she could have been killed by the mob of students and you just let her take charge, how is that different.
