Chapter 769 A Life?
Huo Xiang rolled her eyes and snorted through her nose with a half-smile, "What are you fighting about?"
Liu Niang handed Song Chunxue a bowl of noodles with a normal expression, "Eat it while it's hot. I just bought it from the inn before I came."
"Thank you, thank you." Song Chunxue never expected that this could be done. Does that mean that in the future, whenever he goes to a new place, he can buy a table full of food and put it in his storage ring?
I'll buy a food box while I'm at it, so I can have a hot meal whenever I want.
However, it's a bit of a hassle. After eating, the bowls and plates are all dirty, and you have to find a place to wash them, otherwise the smells will mix together.
Hot noodle soup is so delicious; a sip of hot soup warms you right up.
"Is it good?" Durian Girl propped her head up with one hand, staring intently at the way she ate the noodles.
"Mmm, delicious, very delicious." Song Chunxue looked at the two of them, "Why aren't you eating?"
Oh right, he just said he wanted to eat pears.
Song Chunxue took out a few pears and placed them on the table, "I almost forgot."
Huo Xiang didn't hold back and took two big bites.
Liu Niang looked at him leisurely, "You have something belonging to an old friend of mine on you. Would you mind taking it out and letting me see it?"
Old friend?
Song Chunxue put down the bowl, thinking that she hadn't taken anything... No, she had recently received several items, including two old objects.
"What old friend? Is it the compass?"
Song Chunxue wasn't stupid. She knew that Changfeng's identity was not simple. He used to be of noble status, but after encountering a change in circumstances, he began to cultivate with his senior brother. He must have wanted to grow up quietly in order to avoid attracting attention.
Besides, even if she has a very sensitive nose and can sense that there is something else on her, does that mean she has to take it out?
It means that what belongs to her at this moment is hers. Unless you take it from her, she won't hand over her things for a bowl of noodles.
“A compass?” Liu Niang frowned. “My old friend never used such a thing; she wasn’t a Taoist priest.”
"I don't know about that. I don't have any valuable old things, just food." Song Chunxue finished her soup and took out a plate of fruit. "Please have some."
Huo Xiang lay sprawled on the opposite couch, toying with two walnuts in her hands.
Durian took a pear, wiped it twice with a handkerchief, and then took a small bite.
"You don't know yet, do you? I have a daughter, eleven years old." Liu Niang said casually, her gaze falling on Huo Xiang. "She's yours."
"Clatter~"
Huo Xiang broke a walnut in her hand and stared stiffly at Liu Niang.
"What are you being so coy about? Although we haven't seen each other for many years, I've given birth to your child, so we're husband and wife now." Liu Niang attacked again. "Back then, I said we were even, but now I regret it. I want a title, even if it's just a concubine."
“I don’t want my daughter to keep asking who her father is. Although I shouldn’t have given birth to her, now that she’s grown up, I don’t want to keep owing her anything.”
The woman held the autumn pear with her slender fingers, which made her fingers appear as white and jade-like as jade.
Song Chunxue couldn't help but look at Huo Xiang. What a playboy who leaves his mark on everyone, yet pretends to be deeply in love everywhere he goes. What a hypocrite!
Huo Xiang suddenly stood up, "Don't..."
"Bang!"
"Hiss..." He clutched his throbbing head. "Don't look at me like that. Back then... I wasn't even married yet, and besides, you drank the contraceptive potion. How can you prove she's my child?"
Song Chunxue retorted angrily, "Does she think she can extort you?"
"Since the child's age doesn't concern you, it means the timing is right. Could it be that she can be like a man, able to have multiple women's favors in a short period of time?"
"..." Huo Xiang was quite angry.
"Pfft~" Liu Niang looked at Song Chunxue, "Thank you for speaking up for me, Sister Song. The phrase 'equal distribution of favors' is so apt. He was particularly good at it when he was young. I was blinded by greed back then and was completely fooled by his face."
Song Chunxue looked at Huo Xiang and thought, "Forget it, why should I meddle in other people's family affairs?"
For her own life, she'd better not provoke this demonic cultivator lord.
"Let's talk about it after we see the child. This isn't solely my responsibility. If you had come to me after you got pregnant, I would have given you a proper status back then..."
At this point, Huo Xiang puffed out her cheeks, her tone self-deprecating.
"No, back then, how could you possibly care about my status? You didn't value titles or ranks. A demonic cultivator like me wouldn't even meet the standards of your family."
"..." It seems that this Durian Girl is also from a wealthy and noble family.
Sigh, why is she, an ordinary citizen, worrying about such trivial matters?
Song Chunxue stood up. "You two continue your conversation."
"No need, you sit down. It's windy outside. If your skin gets rough, I won't be able to explain it to Lord Xie." Huo Xiang was extremely irritable. "I'm going outside to get some fresh air and calm down. If I go back, my wife will break my legs."
Durian Girl smiled faintly, her expression forlorn.
Song Chunxue didn't know how to comfort her; perhaps she didn't need comforting.
"Don't look at me like that. Let's talk about you, Sister Song. Huo Xiang has a terrible temper, but I can tell that he treats you... like he's wary of his sister, like he's afraid of being scolded by his mother, and like he doesn't want to lose you as a friend. You seem quite special."
Song Chunxue smiled, "I'm just an ordinary person, but you, young lady, have an extraordinary appearance and your identity must be quite remarkable. Have you found it hard to raise your daughter alone all these years?"
"Hard work?" Liu Niang smiled faintly. "The hard work is for the wet nurse and my father. She actually has many people who love her, but I was almost beaten to death by my father because I gave birth to her."
Her family must have a powerful background; otherwise, they wouldn't be checking the circuit, that would be for sure.
Song Chunxue could hardly imagine that if that girl in Lijiazhuang hadn't gotten married and given birth to a daughter, let alone given birth, she could probably have been given a bowl of contraceptive soup to solve the problem when she got pregnant, and then just find a husband's family a little further away to settle down.
"And you, how many children do you have?"
Five.
"Oh, five...five?" Durian Girl was shocked. "You gave birth to them all by yourself?"
"What's the big deal? In our area, there are families with eleven children, six or eight is very common, and five is considered a small number."
"Huh?" Durian Girl exclaimed in disbelief, "A child born by himself?"
“Yes, it’s a single person’s child. Poor people can’t afford to take a concubine. The key is that the person who gives birth to the child lives a long life.” Song Chunxue said calmly. “But some people are different. They die in childbirth after giving birth to two children. The children don’t even have gruel to eat. They go hungry one day and eat a full one the next. They grow up to be stupid.”
Durian looked at her belly and said, "You're amazing. It's really not easy to stay so slim after having so many children."
As she spoke, Liu Niang took out two bottles of pills from her storage ring. "Take these two bottles of Muscle Regeneration Pills. They will not only replenish your qi and blood, but also make your skin and flesh more elastic."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I..."
"Don't rush to refuse. Consider it a thank you for these two pears. I have plenty of these pills at home." Liu Niang stuffed the medicine bottle into her hand. "By the way, the Lord Xie he mentioned, could it be that stubborn Xie Zheng from the capital who has been demoted multiple times?"
A muscle.
Song Chunxue smiled. "You know him?"
