Chapter 624 Mianmian's Lightness Skill
The young eunuch looked at the large radish in the assassin's hand, hesitated for a long time, and then said to the servant of the Yuan family behind him, "Take her to the backyard."
The servant peeked out and glanced at the old woman in front of him.
The old woman's clothes and appearance were somewhat similar to those of the peasant women who usually delivered vegetables to their household. The servant didn't think much of it and said, "Why are you delivering radishes so early today? Come in quickly."
The assassin lowered his head and followed the servant into the mansion.
The servant led the way.
When the two had gone halfway, the assassin reached out and knocked the servant unconscious with a single blow.
He then changed into a servant girl's clothes and headed towards the back of the Yuan residence.
In the backyard.
To entertain Du Wanchun when she came to his residence, Mr. Yuan specially had his servants make a lot of pastries by hand.
These are all foods that Mianmian loves to eat.
Mianmian took a small bite of two pieces, then approached Mr. Yuan with a smile. "Sir, it's been a long time since you and Mr. Qingyang taught me qinggong. How do you think I'm doing?"
Mr. Yuan sat to the side, put down his cup, and replied with a smile, "Then let the princess demonstrate for us."
Du Wanchun smiled gently and nodded.
Encouraged, Mianmian went to a short-necked tree, looked up, and then leaped onto a branch.
She moved with such grace, leaping and landing so lightly that not even the leaves of the short-necked tree trembled.
Upon seeing this, Du Wanchun quickly clapped her hands, "Mianmian is amazing!"
Mianmian leaped down from the tree branch, her face full of joy. "Mr. Yuan, how was my lightness skill?"
Mr. Yuan clapped his hands as well, "Not bad, not bad. If Mr. Qingyang saw this, he would probably praise you a few words as well."
Mianmian's cheeks were flushed; she was very pleased with the compliment.
She turned and ran toward a taller tree, saying, "I'll try again."
Mr. Yuan quickly called out to her, "Mianmian, this tree is too tall, be careful."
Du Wanchun wasn't that nervous. She smiled and stopped Mr. Yuan, saying, "Just let this child try, otherwise he might not want to go back today."
“But…” Mr. Yuan looked up at Mianmian, his eyes filled with worry.
He and Mr. Qingyang usually doted on Mianmian. Perhaps because they doted on her too much, they were very careful when she practiced martial arts, afraid of tiring her out or causing her to fall.
I had never tried such a tall tree when I was learning light-body skills.
Mianmian looked at the tree with confidence and called out to Mr. Yuan, "Don't worry, sir, such a tall tree is no problem."
After saying that, he leaped up and stomped hard on the trunk of the tree, using the momentum to jump upwards again.
This time, she sat steadily at the top of the tree.
"Mother! Teacher!"
Mianmian sat up there, waved to them and smiled, "Look, I'm up here."
This big tree is at least three or four times as tall as the short-necked tree we just saw. If you sit on it and look down, you can see half of the Yuan Mansion.
Lord Yuan originally intended to cut down the tree, but he didn't expect it to be of such use today. It seems that Mianmian will not let him cut down the tree again.
When Du Wanchun watched Mianmian demonstrate her lightness skill, her heart was in turmoil. Although she said she was fine, her heart still tightened when Mianmian jumped halfway.
She couldn't help but laugh along, feeling very gratified.
Mianmian has really grown up.
Yi'er and Yu'er watched their younger sister from below and smiled at her, saying, "Mianmian, can you come down later?"
"If you can't come down, your second brother and eldest brother will come up to get you?"
Little Mianmian sat on the tree, swinging her legs, looking at the scenery of Yuan Mansion with great curiosity. "Big brother, second brother, I don't want to come down now. I want to look around from up here some more."
Yi'er and Yu'er laughed together, "When you want to come down, call me and your second brother."
“Okay, big brother,” Little Mianmian replied sweetly.
Yi'er and Yu'er are never talkative people, but the two boys are different when they are with Xiaomianmian.
Especially Yi'er, who usually has a cold face and rarely chats with anyone except Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan.
He and Yu'er were about to turn back to Du Wanchun's side when they thought about it and realized something was wrong. They turned back and said, "Mianmian, are you cold up there? Do you want your older brother to bring you a blanket?"
Mianmian hugged the tree trunk, her eyes fixed on the distance, and replied, "No need, big brother, I'm not cold up there."
"Oh..." Yi'er replied childishly, took two steps toward Du Wanchun, saw the pastries on the table, and then looked up and called out loudly to Xiao Mianmian, "Mianmian, are you hungry? You didn't eat many of Mr. Yuan's pastries. Do you want me to bring them up for you?"
"Yi'er is starting to look like an older brother now," Mr. Yuan said with a sigh, taking a sip of tea.
Du Wanchun took out a piece of pastry and handed it to Yi'er, "Here, I think she's not full yet."
Yi'er took it in his hands. He was a bit taller than Mianmian, and with the hard training he had been doing with Hai Qingyang every day recently, his lightness skill was already very good, no worse than that of an adult man.
Yi'er took the pastries, easily leaped up, landed next to Mianmian, and handed the pastries to her.
Mianmian took it, looked up and smiled with her eyes narrowed, "Thank you, big brother."
