Chapter 7 Early Death, Underage



[Wow, wow, is this what food in the human world is like? It's so delicious! Waaaaah, how many delicious things did I miss out on before I became human? Waaaaah, I'm so envious of my soul in the human world, where I can eat so much good food every day.]

【Wow! Sweet and sour pork ribs are so delicious! They're so sweet and sour, almost like peach blossoms growing on their own. So good!】

【Hmm, there's also scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Little Peach Blossom loves it!】

Wow, this sweet and sour fish is so crispy and sweet, I love it!

Ah—this stir-fried cabbage with vinegar is sour and crunchy, it's delicious!

[And this shredded pork with green peppers, wow, it's spicy! But it's so delicious with rice, my little peach blossom spirit could eat two bowls.]

Wen Xingyue picked up a piece of stir-fried green peppers and pork with her chopsticks. The spiciness of the green peppers spread in her mouth as she ate the rice. She quickly shoveled a big mouthful of rice, her eyes squinting with satisfaction and contentment. Her cheeks were bulging, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on her forehead from the spiciness.

Her pink lips were slightly red from the spiciness, and she was breathing heavily through her mouth.

"Drink some milk."

Seeing that Mingming was suffering from the spiciness but still loved eating stir-fried green peppers with pork, Huo Tingxiao, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but chuckle and handed her a glass of warm milk.

"Thank you, Huo Tingxiao."

Wen Xingyue took the cup and took a sip.

Hmm, this milk tastes pretty good, I like it.

The sweet, milky flavor filled her mouth. This was the first time Little Peach Blossom had ever tried this strange drink, but overall she quite liked it.

Feeling a bit full, Wen Xingyue stopped eating, picked up her cup and slowly sipped her food, her eyes never leaving the dishes on the table.

There were eight dishes and a soup on the table: sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, boiled shrimp...

Although the Huo family was wealthy, they were not wasteful or extravagant. They kept their food, clothing, and daily necessities moderate.

Previously, the family always ate four dishes and one soup, since there were only four people in the family. However, Huo Tingxiao often went out on missions, so there were only three people in the family, and the three of them couldn't eat much.

However, after Wen Xingyue married into the family, she became picky about food. Every meal had to include meat, and it had to be good quality, with soup, meat, and vegetables.

Because Wen Xingyue likes to eat meat and prefers sweet and sour flavors, her family tends to cater to her tastes.

To celebrate the arrival of the little peach blossom spirit in the human world and to express our gratitude for her help to Huo Tingxiao, tonight's meal will be even more lavish than usual.

When the Huo family saw that Wen Xingyue was eating slowly, they also unconsciously slowed down their own eating speed.

Wen Xingyue praised almost every dish she ate in her mind. With her words, they could all imagine her tone. Even the Huo family, who were not particularly fond of food, were persuaded to eat a lot more.

[Slurp slurp...] A drooling sound echoed in their minds.

They followed Wen Xingyue's gaze to the boiled shrimp on the table, which was placed some distance away from her and in front of Huo Tingjun.

The boiled shrimp was what Huo Tingjun wanted to eat; Wen Xingyue didn't like eating things with shells, so it wasn't placed around her.

[Those shrimp look delicious, but the peach blossom spirit doesn't know how to peel them. Never mind, she won't eat them. There's so much good food; the peach blossom spirit will eat something else.]

Wen Xingyue's eyes lingered on the pink and fresh-looking shrimp, and she swallowed hard. However, thinking that she didn't know how to peel them and disliked getting shrimp shells on her fair hands, she forced herself to look away.

Wen Xingyue's thoughts reached their ears, and the Huo couple exchanged a glance before their eyes flashed towards Huo Tingxiao.

His wife wanted to eat shrimp, but he wouldn't peel them for her.

"Those shrimp are good, would you like to try some?"

Ignoring his parents' glares, Huo Tingxiao's deep and steady phoenix eyes fell on Wen Xingyue, who was slowly shoveling rice into her mouth beside him.

Her gaze kept drifting to the shrimp not far away, clearly still thinking about them.

"I want to, but I don't want to peel it."

Wen Xingyue met his eyes, and the little peach blossom spirit, who couldn't lie, honestly nodded her head.

The little peach blossom spirit's hands are so pretty; she doesn't want them covered in sticky shrimp shells.

"I'll peel it for you."

Huo Tingxiao's lips curved slightly, and his eyes softened with tenderness.

His gaze swept over her fair and delicate fingers, which were as white as scallions. This little peach blossom spirit was so delicate; these things really shouldn't be let her touch.

Without needing any threats from his older brother or parents, Huo Tingjun had already stood up and moved the shrimp to Wen Xingyue, who was diagonally opposite him.

Wow, it's rare to meet someone who can keep up with my eating speed and likes to eat. Huo Tingjun couldn't help but feel happy and stopped arguing with Wen Xingyue about her calling him "Little Fatty".

Hmph, considering she helped her brother, he'll be magnanimous and let her have her way.

This peach blossom fairy is pitiful; she's never eaten human food before. How many delicious things has she missed out on?

Eat up, eat up, eat with him, so that Mom and Dad can't just say they like to eat and eat too much.

With Wen Xingyue with him, his parents couldn't just watch him eat and talk about themselves without mentioning Wen Xingyue, or he would throw a tantrum.

"Huo Tingjun, you're not allowed to eat anymore. Eating too much is bad for your health!"

Suddenly, Huo's mother noticed that Wang Ma was adding rice to Huo Tingjun's bowl, and her voice suddenly rose a few decibels.

Wen Xingyue bit into a shrimp, glanced at the situation opposite her, and blinked as her gaze fell on Huo Tingjun's round, chubby face.

[The chubby boy also had a faint purple aura, running from his feet to his neck, but his head was gone, a sign of an early death, although his life for the first ten years or so was one of wealth and luxury.]

Although this chubby little boy is quite cute, it's true, just like his beautiful mother said, being overweight is bad for his health.

When you get older, all sorts of illnesses will come on, and your body will suffer. No wonder he died suddenly while running before he even reached adulthood.

This also caused the beautiful mother and handsome father's health to collapse, and they passed away a few years later, leaving Huo Tingxiao, who was disabled in both legs, to live a lonely life.

Because Huo Tingxiao's bad luck had been broken, Wen Xingyue was able to see Huo Tingxiao's last fate.

Wen Xingyue's words made the Huo family's temples throb.

Died young.

Not a minor.

He died suddenly.

He left after a few years.

He lived a lonely and miserable life.

These words made the Huo family members' hearts clench in shock.

Huo Tingjun is only eight years old, 130 cm tall, and already weighs 90 kg.

In other words, Huo Tingjun will die in at most 10 years.

The couple left a few years after their youngest son, leaving their eldest son all alone.

A perfectly good family has fallen apart.
