"Everyone only likes Nan Yuanman and doesn't like me. My uncle is bad, and my third uncle is bad too! I don't like my third uncle anymore!" Jiang Xinxin walked around the village with red eyes and clenched fists, angrily saying something.
After finishing last in the fishing task again, Jiang Xinxin was unwilling to accept it. Seeing Jiang Chuyun frequently glancing at Nan Yuanman, her resentment and grievances reached their peak.
Therefore, instead of going back into the house with Jiang Chuyun and bringing the ingredients, she stayed outside alone, sulking.
More than anything, she secretly hoped that after her third uncle put the things back in the house, he would come out to find her, comfort her, and put her mind at ease.
She sat outside for a long time but didn't see Jiang Chuyun. It was as if Jiang Chuyun had been forgotten, which made her even more heartbroken and resentful towards Nan Yuanman.
"It's all my uncle's fault! Why did he have to bring Nan Yuanman back! If he hadn't brought her back, I would still be the most beloved child in the family!" Jiang Xinxin vented her frustration by grabbing nearby weeds and throwing them to the ground.
Just then, Jiang Xinxin saw Nan Yuanman running towards Grandpa Hu's house with her short legs not far away.
She frowned: "Nan Yuanman? Where is she going?" Could it be that she's planning to do something bad while the adults are away?
Jiang Xinxin's eyes lit up instantly, her young face filled with excitement at catching Nan Yuanman doing something naughty. Without thinking, she followed him.
This time, she's determined to catch Nan Yuanman in the act! She'll make her third uncle and Feng Yingdi see her true colors completely!
No sooner had Jiang Xinxin left than a slender figure appeared behind her. She hesitated, looking at the two little ones in front of her, pursed her lips, and followed...

On the way to Grandpa Hu's house, we passed a river. The wildflowers along the riverbank were blooming exceptionally well, and from a distance, they looked incredibly beautiful in their vibrant colors.
Children are easily attracted to pretty things. Nan Yuanman looked at her empty little hands and remembered what her grandfather had taught her: you can't go to someone's house empty-handed.
But she doesn't have any extra small coffins to give to Grandpa Hu now.
The little girl stared at the flowers by the river for a few seconds, then happily decided to pick a bunch of flowers to give to Grandpa Hu.
Since childhood, Nan Yuanman had been taught by her grandfather not to get too close to the water when she was alone. So she was very careful not to get too close to the river. She stood about half a meter away from the riverbank, puffing and puffing as she picked flowers.
The little dumpling was still muttering to itself, "This one is pretty, this one is beautiful, this one can be given to my third brother..."
Jiang Xinxin, who had been following behind her, watched her small figure huffing and puffing as she picked flowers, and her gaze involuntarily fell on the river not far away.
The river water shimmered in the sunlight, looking exceptionally beautiful.
She suddenly remembered a scene from a TV show she'd seen at home, where a child fell into the water and died, and a thought popped into her head… what if…
If Nanmanyuan also dies like the children in the TV series, will everything be back on track?
Mom won't be locked in her room like she is now, her younger uncle will love her again, and her third uncle won't be distracted by Nan Yuanman...
The more Jiang Xinxin thought about it, the more she felt that killing Nan Yuanman was a good idea.
Jiang Xinxin stared at the river, a wicked thought rising within her. She crept up behind Nan Yuanman and suddenly pushed her into the river!
Nan Yuanman had already sensed Jiang Xinxin approaching, but she didn't expect Jiang Xinxin to be so vicious as to push her directly into the water.
She reacted quickly, grabbing Jiang Xinxin's wrist and pulling her towards the riverbank.
Jiang Xinxin's hand slammed into a rock by the river, causing her to scream in pain: "Ah—!"
She screamed and shook her hand violently, kicking Nan Yuanman hard: "Let go! Let go of me right now!"
Nan Yuanman gripped Jiang Xinxin's hand tightly, twisting her body to dodge the kick that was coming at her, and asked her in shock and anger, "Jiang Xinxin! Why did you push me!"
Jiang Xinxin panicked. She never expected Nan Yuanman to react so quickly! She didn't even have time to run! She was caught!
She shrieked and protested, "I didn't push you! I just wanted to play a game with you! You lost your balance and fell down!"
As the two were tugging at each other, Meng Juanjuan ran over and hurriedly asked, "Xinxin, Yuanman, what's wrong with you? Why are you arguing all of a sudden? And in such a dangerous place as the riverbank."
Nan Yuanman was stunned for a few seconds when she saw Meng Juanjuan suddenly run out. Her gaze suddenly fell on her face. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that... Sister Juanjuan looked a lot like a... fox.
The little dumpling was a bit confused, and it wondered absentmindedly, "How can a person turn into a fox?"
In the few seconds that she was distracted, Meng Juanjuan had already come to their side and grabbed their hands.
As soon as she grasped Nan Yuanman's hand, a strange, excited smile crept onto her lips: "Arguing by the river, how..."
The next second, she suddenly exerted force, pushing Nan Yuanman and Jiang Xinxin into the river, adding in a light voice, "It's dangerous."
Nanmanyuan: "!!!"
Jiang Xinxin: "!!!"
Thump! Thump!
Nan Yuanman and Jiang Xinxin fell into the river together, and the river immediately submerged them.
Jiang Xinxin struggled and screamed in panic: "Ahhh!! Help! Help me—!"
Nan Yuanman didn't cry out. When she fell into the water, she instinctively held her breath and tried to swim to the riverbank by swinging her little arms and legs. But as soon as she moved, the river water stuck to her like glue.
Meng Juanjuan stood by the river, expressionless, watching Nan Yuanman and Jiang Xinxin struggling in the water. Her eyes had turned into red fox eyes.
She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips: "Two tributes, now we can have a good meal."
She raised her hand, and a black aura, tinged with wisps of red, enveloped Nan Yuanman tightly.
Nan Yuanman struggled, holding his breath, feeling his strength rapidly disappearing as he sank to the bottom of the river.
Zhuangzhuang and Xiaocao, who were inside the bag, realized that Nan Yuanman was in danger. Despite it being daytime, Xiaocao opened the bag and rushed out, grabbing the evil energy with her straw hands and pulling hard!
The malevolent energy tore through, freeing Nan Yuanman from her restraints. She immediately tossed Zhuangzhuang toward Jiang Xinxin, whose struggles were gradually diminishing: "Save her!"
Even though Nan Yuanman dislikes Jiang Xinxin, she can't just stand by and watch her die.
The wooden figure possessed by Zhuangzhuang instantly grew larger and pulled Jiang Xinxin, who was sinking into the river, up.
Meng Juanjuan stared in disbelief at Nan Yuanman, who was rapidly escaping from her control of the evil energy: "You, are you a Celestial Master?!"
Nan Yuanman's eyes gleamed brightly as she glared at her with extreme anger, forcefully slamming the small coffin against 'Meng Juanjuan': "Evil spirit! Get off Sister Juanjuan right now!"

At the same time, Feng Langqing, who was still coordinating the next schedule with Luo Wei, suddenly felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
He couldn't stay any longer, so he hurriedly left Luo Wei with the words, "You can arrange the rest of the trip yourself, just give me four days of vacation a month," and then hung up the phone.
Feng Langqing grabbed his phone and went to the yard, calling out "Yuanman" a few times. When he didn't hear a response, he remembered that Yuanman had told him earlier that she was going to find Grandpa Hu.
He opened the courtyard gate, intending to go to Grandpa Hu's place to find Nan Yuanman, when Jiang Chuyun also opened the gate and came out. He was also going to find Jiang Xinxin, and the two exchanged a glance.
Feng Langqing scoffed coldly and strode past him.
Jiang Chuyun pursed her lips and followed behind him silently.
At that time, by the river.
Nan Yuanman was grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air by a white figure. Behind her were Meng Juanjuan and Jiang Xinxin, who lay on the riverbank, their fates unknown.
Bai Ying had an exceptionally beautiful face, with black hair, red lips, and fox-like eyes; every smile and frown was full of brilliance.
At this moment, half of her beautiful face was smashed, exposing her bare white bones.
"Your talent is indeed remarkable, but unfortunately... you are still too young." The Great Fox Immortal slowly repaired the half of his face that Little Red had smashed, staring at Nan Yuanman with a sinister look: "If you were any older, I'm afraid I would have capsized in a ditch."
Nan Yuanman's face turned bright red as she quickly took out talismans and threw them at the fox spirit, but for some reason, these talismans had no effect on the fox spirit at all!
The fox spirit laughed: "Stop struggling, your talismans are useless against me, after all..."
"I am an immortal."
