"Little guy, what's your name?" Her tone was so gentle that she couldn't help but get goosebumps.
However, Qingbao didn't buy it.
"My mother said that I shouldn't tell my name to strangers casually," he said seriously.
He is just like a good child who takes his mother's words as his guiding principle.
Jiang Chanyu narrowed her eyes, "My name is Jiang Chanyu, little guy, you can call me——"
"Granny Jiang!" Qing Bao called out crisply.
Jiang Chanyu's mind was in a state of confusion for a while, but she finally calmed down.
Forget it, why is she arguing with a child? She can be called a mother-in-law, but she is… No way! When she becomes his master, when she regains her physical body, she will definitely hang this brat up and beat him until he cries for his parents! She roared like a storm in her heart, but tried to put on a smile on her face, "I've already told you my name. Now we are not strangers anymore. Do you want to tell me your name too?"
Qing Bao tilted his head as if thinking. His fair, pink, and voluptuous face was so adorable that even Jiang Chanyu had to admit that although this kid was annoying, he was really good-looking.
It made her feel very itchy.
"Okay, mother told me to respect the elderly and love the young. Since Granny Jiang wants to know my name so much, I'll tell you. My nickname is Qingbao, and my full name is Shen Moqing. Mother gave it to me. Isn't it nice?"
Respect, elder? Can this joke ever be allowed to pass?
Jiang Chanyu's face twisted for a moment, then returned to normal as if nothing had happened, smiling: "Yeah, that sounds good."
Qingbao smiled, looking extremely adorable.
The first step is to get a well-known name and get closer, get it!
Now it’s time to proceed to the second step.
Jiang Chanyu persuaded him earnestly: "Qingbao, do you want to become super powerful? The kind that no one can beat."
"Yes! I want to protect my mother, my father, Uncle Yichang, Yuanbao, Nian Nian, Master Yaoyao, Uncle Qianwu, and Sister Kunsan..."
Qing Bao counted them one by one, and ten fingers were not enough, so he started counting again after he finished.
Jiang Chanyu was watching from the side, and the twitching frequency of the corners of her mouth increased noticeably.
"Okay, okay, I know you have to protect a lot of people, so do you know how to become very powerful?"
Qing Bao's little head couldn't figure out such a profound question, so he shook his head honestly.
Jiang Chanyu smiled triumphantly, with her hands behind her back, "I, Jiang Chanyu, was born in the Jiang family, a family of immortal cultivators in the Qingyuan Realm. I have been gifted since childhood and have made rapid progress. In just 18,000 years, I have cultivated to the Mahayana realm. With a wave of my hand, I can overturn mountains and seas, and change the wind and clouds. No one of my peers can defeat me..."
Thinking of a guy who had already fallen, her expression darkened for a moment, and then she continued to brag, no, to be honest about her glorious resume, making sure to let the kid in front of her realize how powerful and unattainable she was!
If she then proposed to take him in as her disciple, wouldn't he agree without hesitation and bow down to her? However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is fucked up.
After she finished talking, she looked down at Qing Bao, only to find that he wasn't listening at all! Instead, he had taken out a small stool and sat on it comfortably, holding a large bowl in his hand, which was filled with egg fried rice!
The bowl of egg fried rice had golden and distinct grains, dotted with brown egg flowers, red ham and sausage, bright orange carrots and green peas. It was colorful and had a great flavor and aroma.
Qing Bao used a spoon to scoop out big mouthfuls of food. His little mouth moved, making tempting chewing sounds. Just by listening to him, you could tell how deliciously he was eating.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chanyu was really angry and greedy! She was angry because when she was recounting her glorious and brilliant past, this little brat actually sat there and ate as if no one was around!
There is no awareness of being a listener at all.
But seeing how delicious he was eating, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. God knows how many years it has been since she last ate! As a monk who pursues the enjoyment of life, even though she no longer needs to eat, she still likes to look for delicious food. She would go out for a stroll whenever she has time and try the new delicacies.
In order to be able to eat at any time, she specially kept seven or eight spiritual chefs in the cave to cook for her.
But after coming to the Tianyuan Realm, in order to prevent those mortal foods from polluting her pure spiritual body, she had to suppress her appetite. Later, she became a remnant soul and could not eat anything.
Thinking about the hard days without delicious food after she came here, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Watching Qing Bao scooping up egg fried rice one spoonful at a time and putting it into her mouth, she felt a cry of desire coming from deep in her soul.
"Cough!" Jiang Chanyu was so greedy that she couldn't bear it anymore and coughed heavily to try to get his attention.
My mother said that I can’t talk with food in my mouth, otherwise I will choke.
So Qing Bao swallowed the food in his mouth slowly, and then gave her a look: "Grandma Jiang, why don't you say anything?"
Jiang Chanyu: “…”
Did he think her words were a condiment for his meal? This was intolerable! Jiang Chanyu waved her hand and a feather duster appeared, which she whipped at Qing Bao.
This little brat really needs a beating!
However, at the moment when the feather duster touched him, a layer of golden light appeared on his body surface, accompanied by a Sanskrit sound like a Huang Zhong Da Lu, which blew away the feather duster and her soul with a buzzing sound.
Jiang Chanyu was made dizzy by this and it took her a long time to recover.
She took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Seven Treasures Colored Glass Beads?!"
This is the most precious treasure of Buddhism, how could it be in the possession of this little kid?
Then she thought about it again and felt that she was making a fuss. He was a rare mixed spirit body in a million years. What was wrong with having a seven-treasure glass bead on his body? It was nothing. She was so angry that she couldn't touch him at all.
How can I enhance my authority as a teacher if I accept him as my apprentice?
Jiang Chanyu felt tired just thinking about it.
But she had to do it anyway.
Jiang Chanyu quickly scattered the feather duster, pretended that the scene just now had never happened, and continued to fool people.
"Qingbao, since you want to become powerful, I can teach you, but you have to take me as your master."
Jiang Chanyu decided not to take the roundabout approach anymore, since the kid simply wouldn't understand, so she just went straight to the point.
