"Wen Xingyue, the doctor said my leg is beyond repair. If you really like that man, we should get a divorce."
Huo Tingxiao's deep and sharp gaze was fixed on the delicate person sitting not far away, and he spoke earnestly.
Their marriage was absurd from the start, and now that she has someone she likes, he's letting her go so he can have some peace and quiet.
The man's deep voice reached her ears, and Wen Xingyue, who had just arrived in this world, trembled in fright.
[This is the body I lost one soul to and ended up in on earth? Waaaaah, how did I end up in such a miserable state? Even a newly arrived peach blossom spirit has to suffer such malice. I'm so scared, waaaaah.]
Wen Xingyue pouted, feeling wronged.
She was originally a diligent peach tree in a secret realm of the cultivation world. After a thousand years, nourished by spiritual energy every day, she gradually developed consciousness. Just yesterday, she was about to transform into human form and was to be subjected to nine heavenly lightning strikes. She survived eight of them, but all the blossoms on the tree were shattered, and all the branches were charred black. She was in a terrible state, and her whole body was in great pain.
She didn't survive the ninth strike; her consciousness was shattered into pieces. In her hazy state, she suddenly remembered what Grandpa Tree had told her: she was born with an incomplete soul, and if she ever faced an inescapable calamity in the future, perhaps she could try to find where her lost soul was.
As she lay dying, she wondered where her last soul would be, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in this place.
There was a group of humans she didn't recognize around her, staring at her fiercely.
This terrified the little peach blossom spirit.
A soft, somewhat familiar, and slightly aggrieved female voice suddenly echoed through the quiet living room, leaving everyone in the Huo family sitting there stunned.
Huo Tingxiao frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Wen Xingyue not far away.
She looks a bit like her.
"I'm sorry... I was wrong."
Grandpa Tree said that if you do something wrong, no matter what, you should apologize first.
Humans are terrifying. The little peach blossom spirit still wants to be a tree, not a human.
A group of people in front of her were staring at her fiercely. Wen Xingyue tugged at her sleeves, her eyes red-rimmed, showing the panic of being a newcomer, the unease of facing an unfamiliar environment, and the fear of being glared at.
The little peach blossom spirit grew up in a secret realm and had never seen many people. Now, she was suddenly faced with so many people, and she felt timid.
"???"
Now the Huo family was certain; they hadn't misheard. There was indeed a woman's voice in the living room. It was just the Huo family in the living room; besides Huo's mother, there was only one other woman. Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Xingyue.
No... to be precise, it was on her lips...
She only uttered a few words before falling silent, but the sounds around them continued.
What they heard... seemed to be Wen Xingyue's innermost thoughts...
And what she meant... was that she was a fairy!
The Huo family members were all shocked and their eyes fell on Wen Xingyue with fear and wariness.
“Big brother…big brother…Wen Xingyue…she…she…is a demon…”
Eight-year-old Huo Tingjun was young. His chubby face jiggled as he stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly at Wen Xingyue across from him. His eyes were filled with fear, and he couldn't utter a single word.
If it weren't for his older brother and the others being there, he probably would have disappeared long ago.
Wen Xingyue, who was keeping her head down and timidly not daring to look up, suddenly looked up at Huo Tingjun who had spoken, swallowed hard, and looked flustered and helpless.
[This chubby kid probably doesn't know I'm a fairy, right? How come humans are so smart? Everyone says you can't become a fairy after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I'm not going to get beaten to death, am I? No, no, I heard that fairies in the human world are burned to death. Burned to death... that must hurt about the same as being struck by lightning, right? It hurts so much.]
"Waaah, I've only just become human, I've never harmed anyone, I grew up drinking dew and eating the fruit I grew myself, waaaah, I'm a good fairy, I don't want to die yet, I've only just become human, waaaah."
She had just experienced nine bolts of heavenly lightning, and just thinking about the feeling of being struck by lightning made her bones ache all over. The thought of being exposed and burned to death terrified the little peach blossom spirit.
A woman's voice, tinged with sobs and panic, reached everyone's ears. She looked so pitiful that Huo Tingxiao frowned.
Even if she is a demon, they will not kill her as long as she does not harm people.
That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't say it aloud.
"She's thirsty and wants to drink water."
Sitting in his wheelchair, Huo Tingxiao reached out and tugged at the chubby boy, interrupting him, and gave him a cold glare.
Feeling the glare from his older brother, Huo Tingjun immediately fell silent.
The Huo family, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief in the living room.
Huo Tingjun spoke too quickly; they were so shocked they didn't even have time to react. Fortunately, their eldest son stopped them in time.
Although she knew from Wen Xingyue's inner thoughts that she wasn't bad and had never harmed anyone, who wouldn't be afraid of suddenly discovering that their daughter-in-law was a vixen?
Wen Xingyue is a demon, but who knew that her identity would be revealed by her youngest son, and what if they ended up fighting to the death?
His cold, stern face glanced at the person whose body was trembling with fear, who was clutching the hem of their clothes tightly with both hands. His deep, sharp phoenix eyes held a profound curiosity, but he didn't seem to be afraid at all.
This is a little peach blossom spirit who has only recently taken human form; she's probably even more afraid of them finding out her true identity than they are of them.
"Mom, could you pour her a glass of water?" He turned to his mother, his voice gentle.
"Mmm, I...I want to drink water."
Someone spoke up to help her out of the predicament, and Wen Xingyue was so frightened that she instinctively agreed.
"Hey, hey." Hearing her eldest son's words, Huo's mother also wanted to quickly let bygones be bygones regarding her younger son's matter. Without hesitation, she quickly got up and poured Wen Xingyue a glass of warm water.
"Xing...xingyue."
Huo's mother tried her best to control her trembling hands and not show any abnormality as she handed the water to Wen Xingyue.
She glanced at that delicate and charming face out of the corner of her eye and thought to herself, "She really is a little vixen; she's just so beautiful."
Aside from her bad temper, she's a perfect match for my son.
"Thanks."
Huo's mother was terrified, and Wen Xingyue, who was having her first close encounter with a human, was equally frightened. She tremblingly reached out to take the cup.
[This...this beautiful mother...she's...she's really nice. She didn't...she didn't hit me, this peach blossom spirit. From what I remember in the human world, it seems like daughters-in-law take care of their mothers-in-law. This beautiful mother even poured me water. She's such a good mother. The peach blossom spirit likes her.]
Having safely received the water, Wen Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled slightly at the person, her two little dimples looking incredibly cute.
She flipped through her memories, and it seemed that in this human world, daughters-in-law served their parents-in-law. Her beautiful mother was both beautiful and kind.
She went through her memories and realized that she had married her son, so she should also call her mother.
