After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 146: Clear Mind
For Huo Qinghuang, family affection is something she has never had.
In her previous life, she was born and raised naturally, and was not very close to the people in the clan. Only the ancestor looked at her with admiration and often followed behind to clean up her mess. It was also because she had unparalleled talent and was the seed of the emperor, and would be able to bring infinite benefits to the True Phoenix clan in the future.
But now, everything has changed.
She has relatives and family affection without any mixed interests.
Such a change caught Huo Qinghuang off guard and he felt quite complicated.
She has always been used to doing her own thing, and only changes when facing the Huo family.
"Sister, are you unhappy?"
Huo Jiayue held her chin with both hands and asked while looking at Huo Qinghuang's profile.
The two of them were being helped by Mrs. Huo to choose dresses. Huo Jiayue picked a pink and purple strapless evening dress, which matched her cute and pretty figure, making her look like a doll.
Huo Qinghuang casually pointed to a green dress among a pile of evening gowns.
Her true form is a phoenix with green feathers. The green color actually suits her better, but it is not available in these dresses, and she is too lazy to choose.
For her, it doesn’t matter what she wears, it’s just appearance, no need to worry about it.
"No."
Huo Qinghuang collected his thoughts, glanced at Huo Jiayue, and spoke indifferently.
Although her attitude was cold, Huo Jiayue didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"That's good. I thought you wouldn't like such cumbersome formalities!"
Huo Jiayue said with a smile, her voice as sweet as a silver bell.
Huo Qinghuang did not comment. If possible, she really didn't want to attend these boring banquets.
If you have that much time, you might as well go out again, maybe you can find more medicinal herbs.
Huo Qinghuang sighed slightly inwardly, maybe this is what it means to be helpless in this world?
A kind of enlightenment that she had never experienced before rose in her heart. Since her rebirth, the haze that had covered her soul suddenly disappeared. Her mind was clear and her whole person became much brighter, looking more elegant and outstanding.
Is this how the mind is tempered in this world?
No wonder those big shots always like to pretend to be various identities and join in the fun in the human world.
It turns out there are benefits to this.
Huo Qinghuang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. In this way, it wasn't in vain that he came to this world.
"Hey, sister, why did you suddenly become beautiful?"
Huo Jiayue caught a glimpse of her change and exclaimed.
She blinked her big eyes, moved closer to Huo Qinghuang, and looked at her face carefully.
The corners of Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched slightly.
Ever since meeting her, Huo Jiayue has been acting particularly friendly towards her. Although Huo Qinghuang knew that she did so on purpose, she didn't really care.
She is just a little human girl who is eager to gain recognition from everyone in the Huo family. She has no bad intentions, so just let her be.
But now, Huo Jiayue was acting more and more clingy, which made Huo Qinghuang a little uncomfortable.
"You are wrong. I am naturally beautiful. Wasn't I beautiful before?"
Huo Qinghuang replied calmly.
"You were beautiful before, but now you feel even more beautiful. Is there something you are happy about, sister?"
Huo Jiayue blinked and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuang looked at her in surprise.
This little girl is quite perceptive. She could see her mood change at a glance.
"nothing!"
She shook her head calmly.
Huo Jiayue shook his head and muttered, "My feeling must be wrong."
As she spoke, she stretched lazily.
This action made Huo Qinghuang narrow his eyes slightly, and he glanced at her chest with an unfriendly look.
This girl is a few months younger than her, but her growth is very rapid.
She might not be able to catch it with just one hand.
Huo Qinghuang curled her lips, but couldn't help moving her five fingers.
“Ahem…”
Huo Jiayue felt a little embarrassed when she looked at her, and quickly covered her chest with her hands, her cheeks flushed.
On the side, Mrs. Huo watched the interaction between the two with a smile. She tried her best to treat the two children equally.
But Huo Jiayue is sensitive and knows how to read people's expressions. Once she notices the slightest difference, she will do everything she can to gain everyone's approval.
It gave her a headache.
But now that Qinghuang is back, Huo Jiayue put all her attention on Qinghuang and stopped bothering her.
This made Mrs. Huo feel a lot more relaxed.
Time passed day by day, and it was getting closer to the end of July. All the invitations to the banquet to be hosted by the Huo family had been sent out, and they were just waiting for the banquet to begin.
One day, Huo Qinghuang was practicing martial arts in the martial arts field. He heard footsteps, looked back, and saw Huo Jiayue walking towards him with Baoer in her arms.
"aunt!"
As soon as Baoer saw her, he immediately smiled, and his pretty little face almost curled up into a ball.
These days, the Huo family officially adopted Baoer and recognized her under the name of Huo Lingfeng.
The little guy was soft and cute, and won the unanimous love of the Huo family.
Therefore, it was well fed and became visibly fatter.
Only Huo Qinghuang's tolerance for human cubs was getting lower and lower. She was often annoyed by her and Huo Yuchen, and she regretted many times that she had picked up this little cub.
She stopped and looked at Baoer, frowning slightly.
When Baoer saw her expression, he immediately pouted his lips in grievance and looked at her with tears in his eyes.
Huo Jiayue immediately touched her little face and looked at Huo Qinghuang with a blaming look, "Sister, Bao'er is so cute, why are you being so disrespectful to her?"
"Don't you think she's too noisy?"
Huo Qinghuang replied unhappily and continued to practice. She really couldn't stand this brat anymore.
"How could that be? Bao'er is very well behaved, right Bao'er?"
Huo Jiayue kissed Baoer's little face lovingly, her eyes full of tenderness.
She really liked Baoer. Besides the fact that Baoer was really cute, the main reason was that they had the same background and were both adopted by the Huo family, so she felt a sense of sympathy.
Huo Qinghuang rolled her eyes secretly.
Baoer is completely different in front of her than in front of others, chirping like a little sparrow. Can you blame her for being impatient?
"Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Despite her impatience, she couldn't help but ask.
The main thing is that if she doesn't ask, the kid will cry immediately and she can't hit him, which really gives her a headache.
Upon hearing this, Baoer's expression changed instantly. He was no longer aggrieved. He looked at Huo Qinghuang with his big dark eyes and said with admiration: "Aunt, I also want to learn martial arts from you!"
"Um?"
Huo Qinghuang was really surprised this time.
How old is this kid? He actually wants to learn martial arts?
"Aunt, please teach me!"
The little fellow tugged at her sleeves pitifully, his eyes rolling around, and said, "As long as you teach me martial arts, I won't bother you anymore."
“…”
Huo Qinghuang was speechless.
She found it a little strange that the brat had even learned to threaten people.
"Why do you want to learn martial arts?"
She asked curiously.
