Fourth Prince Xiao Yu suffers from a strange illness. When it acts up, he feels intensely ashamed and his heart becomes extremely humble. Even when his "moonlight" shines on him, he shrinks...
Chapter 421: Be strong no matter what
When the child grew a little older, Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu thought of more ways to try to cover up the birthmark.
All kinds of ointments, elixirs, etc. were of no use.
If it was an ordinary birthmark or scar, let alone covering it up, with Xu Chuchu's cultivation level, completely eliminating it would be a piece of cake.
Could it be... that their child is cursed?
Just because of their past sacrifices and contributions?
"Could it be because Wuwu came that day?" Xiao Yu asked analytically.
Xu Chuchu shook her head firmly: "How could Wuwu harm my child?" She still remembered how Wuwu took away all the snacks in the house when he left.
They are so innocent and cute that it is impossible for them to do anything to hurt children.
Or...it wanted to bless but made a mistake?
Both of them had thought about this, but neither of them said it out loud.
…
Wen Yin grew up day by day, learning to walk and talk.
She has a patient and knowledgeable father who tells her stories every day and teaches her a lot of strange knowledge.
She also has a somewhat lazy but very capable mother who taught her how to practice and learn some wonderful little tricks.
She also has a little brother from the Shen family who takes the initiative to take care of her and takes her out to play. Although he is a bit clingy, he is still pretty good.
She felt like this was the whole world.
Until one day, she met other children, and when they saw her face, they all made unpleasant tut-tut sounds.
The girl avoided her in disgust, as if she was afraid of being infected, while the boy laughed loudly at her.
Although her parents had told her indirectly since she was very young that she was a little different from others, it was not her fault.
Even though Brother Shen has protected her in every possible way.
When she really faced that moment, little Wen Yin was still hit hard. She cried for a long time and didn't want to go out. It took her several days to recover.
From then on, I was no longer willing to go out and play with Brother Shen.
…
Some time passed.
"Have you made up your mind?" Xiao Yu asked Xu Chuchu, "Should I send her to the academy, or should I teach her at home?"
At this time, my daughter was at the age where she should learn to read and write. Most children of her age went to academy, and those from well-off families would invite a teacher to teach them at home.
Everyone felt that given Wen Yin's situation, it would be better for her to study at home. Besides, Xiao Yu was well-read, patient and meticulous, and there was no better teacher than him.
But Xu Chuchu didn't seem to agree.
"If we let her stay at home this time, she will never be able to leave." Xu Chuchu shook her head slowly.
My daughter may become a learned scholar and have unparalleled cultivation in the future, but if she is always timid and inferior in her heart, what is the use of her knowledge and cultivation?
"Am I too cruel?" Xu Chuchu was very uneasy.
Xiao Yu patted her comfortingly and said, "You're right. My daughter will eventually have to take that step. Now is the time for her to be sensible. It will be more difficult when she grows up."
He always stands by Xu Chuchu and agrees with all her decisions.
Fortunately, Wen Yin is not just a little girl who only knows how to cry.
When she was very young, she had seen all kinds of monsters and beasts, rode a big orange cat and galloped through the mountains and forests, and heard many people talk about the incredible deeds her parents had done.
She also "eavesdropped" on how her father was ostracized because of his birthmark when he was a child.
Dad didn't have such good parents to protect him at that time. He had come through it all, so what did she have to be afraid of?
A good father will have a good son, she thought, she couldn't bring shame to her parents.
…
When she went to the academy, the maid embroidered a piece of thin gauze on her collar, which was just enough to cover her birthmark when it was stood up. Of course, it was originally embroidered by her mother, but the maid was replaced because she couldn't embroider it well.
"Remember, if someone laughs at you, fight back if you have something to say, or ignore it if you don't."
"But if anyone dares to take action, you must teach him a lesson!"
"But... remember not to get into trouble."
Her mother told her so.
She saw her father hesitate to speak several times, and she didn't know what he wanted to say.
…
Maybe it was because she was mentally prepared, with her parents' reputation in front of her and brother Shen's protection, few people in the academy dared to confront her.
Of course, there were also many people gossiping behind her back, saying that her parents had committed many sins and that was the retribution for them.
Some also said that she was born ugly and that her appearance was contagious.
Several girls who admired Brother Shen also said that they learned the fox charm skills from their mothers and were able to seduce Brother Shen.
What the hell, the fox charm technique is Brother Shen’s unique skill, okay!
In such an environment, Wen Yin became more and more brave as she grew up.
Her knowledge is among the best in the class, and her cultivation makes her completely fearless of the tallest and strongest classmates.
Those who said bad things about her parents were beaten by her until they swore not to say anything again.
Those who said that she seduced Brother Shen...she would get closer to Brother Shen and make them angry to death!
As the days passed, Wen Yin grew up and became more confident.
She even took off the veil that covered her birthmark, ignoring the gossip.
Suddenly one day, when she was looking at herself in a bronze mirror, she discovered that her birthmark had changed at some point.
A small tip appeared at the upper side of the oval.
This was even uglier, and made Wen Yin feel bad for several days, but she soon accepted it.
But slowly, the little tip began to grow and turned into fine lines, and the fine lines split into several lines.
It's like...
"The seeds are sprouting." This is what Xiao Yu judged after watching.
The sprouting of seeds means new life, which gives Wen Yin great hope.
She no longer cared about what others said. The happiest thing every day was to get up early to see the seeds sprout, and then come back in the evening to look at the seeds again.
It changes almost every day.
Finally one day, the scene that Wen Yin had been looking forward to the most appeared. The other end of the seed began to swell and grew into the shape of a flower bud.
The buds bloomed day by day, and her face looked like a fresh flower!
This flower is still a birthmark, but because it blooms so passionately and charmingly, it makes Wen Yin look even more beautiful.
She even liked the birthmark for the first time.
But don’t forget, after flowers bloom, they will also fall.
After the flower bloomed to its fullest, it fell like mud and completely disappeared from Wen Yin's face.
At the same time, pure spiritual power began to surge in her body, and all the filth in her body was washed away by this energy.
Her meridians and bones began to ache, as if they were all being scrubbed and reassembled.
she……
"Eternal life." Xu Chuchu examined her daughter's body in disbelief.
"She has been granted eternal life."
This was something Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu had never expected.
They had already prepared themselves for eternal life, and the foresight of giving birth to a normal baby made them mentally prepared for the transition from black-haired to white-haired.
They didn’t expect that they wouldn’t have to face all this anymore, and their children would be with them for a long, long time!
"It must be Wuwu." Xu Chuchu remembered the spell it cast on her belly when it came over.
Unexpectedly, the red dragon came to bless the child and gave her eternal life. How precious!
"The Red Dragon Clan is so generous to us." Xu Chuchu sighed.
"Not necessarily." Wen Yin suddenly said, "I can feel that it started to change when I stopped being afraid of those people's gossip."
Xiao Yu frowned: "You mean, this might be a test from the Red Dragon? If you survive, you will gain eternal life."
This made him a little unhappy. If Wen Yin failed the test, wouldn't she have to live with the birthmark for the rest of her life?
Wen Yin, however, was unconcerned with the test: "It must have known that your daughter couldn't possibly fail such a simple test."
This made both Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu laugh.
Yes, how could their daughter not be outstanding.
…
Wen Yin grew up and became a famous erudite beauty in the capital.
She listened to her parents and locked her age at the most appropriate moment.
Her parents had "abandoned" her and gone on a long journey two years ago, without saying when they would be back.
Now she is also ready to set off to start an adventure of her own.
As for whether to bring Brother Chen... I still need to hesitate.
But no matter what, she will never forget the birthmark and the advice her parents' experience gave her.
"Be strong and brave. No matter what you face."
