Replacing My Cousin for Down to the Countryside? I'll Empty Your House and Dance on Your Ancestors' Graves

In her previous life, Ruan Xianxian, who took her cousin's place to go down to the countryside, returned to the city and took over the fiancé her cousin didn't want. She thought she had fo...

Chapter 285 The Goose's Grievance

The bicycle wheel flew high into the tree branch, and Wenrou lay sprawled on the ground. Jinfei, holding onto the half-destroyed bicycle frame, half-squatted on the dirt road...

A snotty-nosed child stood watching from a distance, his fingers twitching, while two soldiers accompanying the wedding party were so embarrassed they were practically digging their toes into the ground…

The newlyweds looked at each other, both showing the same look of utter despair!

After a flurry of activity, the groom helped the mud-covered bride to her feet and borrowed a bicycle from his wedding companions; the ceremony was about to continue.

Sitting on the back seat, Wenrou looked at the bicycle parts scattered all over the ground, feeling even more nervous and uneasy than when she got her marriage certificate.

Grabbing Jin Fei's lower back, she whispered, "That's Ruan Zhiqing's bike. You damaged it. She won't ask us to pay for a new one, will she?"

Jin Fei also glanced back at the pile of parts, convinced that Ruan Xianxian was behind it. He had witnessed Ruan Xianxian's superpowers, but he had no proof.

Without evidence and unable to speak out, he could only comfort himself and his newlywed wife, saying, "You entertain the guests later, and I'll come back and put the car back together."

It's just falling apart; we can reassemble it and clean it up.

After the two comforted themselves, the wedding procession gradually moved away. After turning a corner, a large black goose's head peeked out from the bushes.

The dog glanced furtively in the direction where the wedding procession had disappeared, then looked at the pile of parts. With a flick of its beak, it picked out a few small and pleasing parts, put them in its mouth, and carried them away.

...

Ruan Xianxian took out her key and opened the door to her house. The house had been uninhabited for several months. The doors and windows were tightly closed and it wasn't very dirty, but it still had a desolate feel to it.

It looks like a faded old photograph.

That's how houses are; they're fine when people live in them, but if no one lives in them for a while, they'll fall into disrepair and decay.

With Zhao Di and Chu Li there, the kitchen water tank was full. Ruan Xianxian fetched a basin of water and started cleaning, while Mu Xia next door was doing the same thing.

After going in and out, and once the house was completely transformed, and finally the new light-colored curtains were put on, Ruan Xianxian took out a New Year's picture of a chubby baby and pasted it on the kang cabinet.

What do you mean by "may they have a son soon"? This is clearly a lucky charm she carefully chose for herself, a wedding gift? Do they even deserve it?

Once everything was in order, a black goose strode in with an air of indifference, flapped its wings, jumped onto the heated brick bed, and spat the parts it was carrying in its beak onto the table.

He didn't look at Ruan Xianxian even once throughout the entire process.

He even turned his backside towards her.

Ruan Xianxian knew that her son was angry because he hadn't been taken on the trip to Liaoning Province.

She rushed over and hugged her baby goose, pouting as if to kiss him, "Mommy's darling, it's been so long, did you miss Mommy?"

Suddenly, a webbed foot pressed against Ruan Xianxian's pouting little mouth. The goose looked down at her, its beady eyes slowly gathering into a wronged expression.

"You didn't take me with you because you think I'm too weak and can't help you?"

I can sense it; there are two very capable guys in your car.

They're all more useful to you than to me, right?

Ruan Xianxian's expression tightened, and she panicked a little. She didn't bring her son on this trip because she thought he was useless, but because she was afraid he would get hurt.

Huang Er and Weiwei are friends who can fight alongside her, but her son is like family.

This may sound a bit harsh, but even the five fingers are not all the same length, so how can one treat everyone equally?

She could watch Weiwei and Huang Er fight, but she couldn't bear to see her son in danger, not even the slightest bit.

It was precisely this protective instinct, this desire to keep him under her wing forever, that hurt him.

Ruan Xianxian stopped joking and sat cross-legged, carefully cradling her son in the crook of her legs. "I promise, no matter where I go in the future, I will never leave you alone again."

Her pink lips pecked at the back of her hand, and her graceful swan neck rested on Ruan Xianxian's shoulder. "You said it, this is the second time already."

If this happens again, I'll definitely ignore you for five days.

The boy is easy to coax, or rather, he's not really angry with Ruan Xianxian at all; he just misses her and gets scared after not seeing her for so long...

After making a series of unequal treaties, Nguyen Hien Hien spent some time finally managing to appease her son.

"Wait a minute, I'll go bring in the gift for you."

Ruan Xianxian ran out excitedly, and soon returned with a fox and a weasel in her arms.

The goose stood cautiously at Ruan Xianxian's feet, watching a fox and a weasel on the heated kang.

Ruan Xianxian pointed to the two sides as they introduced themselves, saying, "I don't care how you're ranked in the martial arts world."

From now on, in this family, the goose is the eldest goose, the weasel is the second eldest weasel, and the white fox is the third eldest white fox.

Eldest, second, and third sons, from now on you three will be our family's lucky three treasures.

Huang Er, who had absorbed the moon's yin energy, was still asleep. The white fox paused in its elegant grooming, its grey-blue fox eyes gazing at the black goose.

"Huh? This little guy who just awakened his spiritual power has quite a talent."

She fed the goose with her own spiritual spring water and left enough goose feed before leaving. Ruan Xianxian thought to herself, "How could its talent not be good?"

But right now, the biggest concern is, "Can he absorb the essence of the sun and moon like you and Huang Er?"

After saying that, Ruan Xianxian looked nervous.

The white fox, seeing her sweaty palms and forehead from nervousness, slowly said, "Your goose has a great talent. Are you sure you want him to absorb the lunar yin with us?"

"What's the meaning?"

Ruan Xianxian only knows that swans generally live for 20-25 years, and that careful breeding can extend their lifespan.

When she was little, the black goose already lived in the compound, and now it's almost ten years old.

She couldn't be sure if the spiritual spring could break through the goose's life limit, but she knew that spiritual creatures like the Yellow White Fox, which absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, could live for a very long time.

So I also want my son to give it a try. I don't expect him to have great fortune, I only wish that he can stay by my side for a long time.

White Fox: "Most demons cultivate by absorbing the yin energy of the moon, but there are exceptions, like the black phoenix on General Mountain, which absorbs the essence of the sun."

You've witnessed its combat prowess; it's specifically designed to counter evil spirits.

If, at the very beginning of this little creature's spiritual awakening, a powerful demon were willing to guide it in absorbing yang energy, its future prospects would be far beyond what we beings, who cultivate using the yin energy of the moon, can compare to.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xianxian also recalled the battle at General Mountain, where the white fox nearly exhausted itself after only breathing two breaths of fire.

The black phoenix in the small basin not only breathed fire at her, but also at Old Li, and afterwards showed no signs of weakness.

Is this the difference between absorbing the combat power of Yin and Yang beings?

She asked, "Then why didn't you choose the masculine path at the beginning of your cultivation? Are there any limitations that depend on species or talent?"

The white fox rolled his eyes, a gesture that even he made with remarkable elegance. "You've been reading too many sketchbooks."

Back then, without a powerful demon to guide me, I relied entirely on my own exploration, like most demons, to embark on the path of absorbing the Yin energy of the moon.

Even if there were elders in the clan back then, they would still be following the same path as I am now.

Demons who cultivate masculinity are extremely rare, even among great demons. Since you have the ability to communicate with us and are not lacking in the essence of heaven and earth, you can try to find them.

The other party may not be willing to teach the younger generation of their clan, but if you find someone with a good temper and offer enough benefits, they might be willing?

Whether you give it a try or not is up to you.
