Chapter 140 The Mountain Goddess Has Ambitions About Su Yuyao
Su Yuyao squatted to one side, hugging her knees, watching the increasingly chaotic situation. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Shut up!"
The courtyard fell silent instantly.
Everyone turned to look at Su Yuyao.
Su Yuyao dusted off her robe, tightened her wrist guards, put her hands behind her back, spread her legs, tilted her head back, and said slowly and deliberately, "What's all the noise about? Why didn't any of you ask me if I wanted to leave or not?!"
Xuanfeng couldn't contain his anger. He pointed at Su Yuyao and shouted, "You dare to leave?!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyao immediately glared at him. "You bastard! You've made me suffer so much, and you still dare to yell at me?!"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Xuanfeng blinked, lowered his hand, and said in a gentler tone, "Girl, be good, don't go..."
That's more like it!
Su Yuyao rolled her eyes at Xuanfeng with a haughty expression and said, "I know you're all doing this for my own good! My parents want to protect me and want me to have a change of environment. The adults have their own ideas, so they won't let me leave..."
"My lord?" Xuan Feng was taken aback. The brat was still angry...
“But…” Su Yuyao turned to the Mountain Goddess and asked, “Mountain Goddess, why have you been trying to keep me here?”
“You are of the bloodline of the Mountain God! Shouldn’t you stay on the sacred mountain?” the Mountain Goddess said slowly in a hoarse voice.
Su Yuyao smiled faintly and asked, "If the bloodline of the Mountain God cannot leave the Immortal Mountain, then why did you agree to my father going to serve in the Heavenly Palace?!"
"Your father was already grown up by then..."
"Does it mean you don't want me to leave? Or that you don't want me to leave with my mother?" Su Yuyao didn't give the Mountain Goddess a chance to explain and pressed on, "If I leave, but don't go to the Ice Wheel Palace, is that okay?"
"Uh... as long as you don't leave the territory of the Immortal Mountain, it's fine!" The Mountain Goddess didn't completely object.
Su Yuyao smiled slightly and said, "I will leave, but I will not go to the Ice Wheel Palace!"
"Daughter! Where else can you go if you don't go to the Ice Wheel Palace?!" Langzhi asked worriedly.
"I want to go..." Su Yuyao raised her head, looked at the gradually dimming sky, and said firmly, "The snow mountain!"
"no!"
"no!"
"no!"
Xuanfeng, Langzhi, and Qingyue refused with surprising unanimity!
"Why not?!" Su Yuyao was utterly bewildered by their objections. "The snow mountain is our wolf clan's territory, it's my land! What's wrong with me going back to my own territory?!"
"No means no!" Xuan Feng suddenly became serious and said sternly to Su Yuyao, "You stay by my side and behave yourself. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
Xuanfeng knew that if he sent the girl to the snow mountain, it would be tantamount to making her accept the position of leader of the wolf clan's snow mountain branch. If the girl really became the leader of the wolf clan branch, she would face endless strife and fall into unknown dangers...
"Why do you say it's not okay?!" Su Yuyao didn't understand Xuanfeng's worries. She just felt that Xuanfeng, who was both her lover and her enemy, was becoming increasingly strict with her, making her feel suffocated.
"Yao'er, you must listen to us on this matter!" Qingyue walked to Su Yuyao's side, stroking Su Yuyao's puffed-up cheeks, and said, "Wolf tribe is savage by nature, it's not suitable for you..."
"Why isn't it suitable?!" Su Yuyao pushed Qingyue's hand away. "The wolf clan believes in the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, which suits my taste perfectly!"
Qingyue gasped, remembering Su Yuyao, who reeked of blood, she had seen in the wolf clan's cave.
"Yao'er, listen to me!" Qingyue patiently and gently persuaded.
"No!" Su Yuyao said stubbornly, "I want to go! I've wanted to go for a long time! I wanted to go even when my dad was in the snow mountain!"
"Daughter!" Langzhi yelled, interrupting Su Yuyao, "Don't mention your fake father! What good can a barbaric tribe teach you?!"
Langzhi had never met Sahanyi, but because Su Yuyao called him "father," Langzhi was filled with hostility towards Sahanyi.
Su Yuyao pouted and muttered, "How can you not teach them well? The wolf clan upholds monogamy, can you even do that?!"
Langzhi awkwardly smacked his lips.
"Besides, it was my wolf parents who saved me! If it weren't for them..."
“Yes! Father knows! But…daughter…” Langzhi suddenly became sorrowful, her eyes filled with tears, her lips trembling as she said, “Father is your true father…”
Lang Zhi didn't know what Su Yuyao's trip to the snow mountain meant, nor was he worried that she would become savage and cruel. He was simply disgusted that his daughter called someone else "Dad".
Su Yuyao was tired of Xuanfeng's control and did not understand Qingyue's worries, but she felt some sympathy for Langzhi.
“Father!” Su Yuyao said with a smile, holding Lang Zhi’s hand. “You’ve said it yourself, you are my original father, that’s an unchangeable fact. Why do you have to fight for this title? If you really have to argue, then wouldn’t my biological father and mother in the afterlife also disagree with me acknowledging you?”
Langzhi wiped her face and remained silent.
"Besides, my wolf parents have been kind to me. Without them, we probably wouldn't have recognized each other so quickly. So, we should thank them!"
Su Yuyao's smiling face was so heartwarming in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Daughter!" Lang Zhi hugged Su Yuyao tightly and burst into tears, "Ah—! My daughter—! My good daughter—!"
Seeing Langzhi crying like this, Qingyue couldn't help but feel heartbroken and secretly wiped her eyes as well.
Seeing her precious son crying like this, the Mountain Goddess felt a pang of heartache and quickly went over to comfort him, saying, "Don't cry, Zhizhi, don't cry..."
As soon as the Mountain Goddess spoke, Langzhi's crying stopped abruptly, Qingyue awkwardly wiped away her tears, and Xuanfeng slowly loosened his teeth.
Su Yuyao got goosebumps from the words of the Mountain Goddess and quickly snuggled out of Langzhi's arms.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have calmed down, the Mountain Goddess slowly said, "I approve of Yao'er going to the snow mountain!"
Three pairs of eyes rolled upwards in unison.
"However, before we go to the snow mountain, there is one thing that must be done!" The Mountain Goddess stretched out her hand, missing a finger, in front of Su Yuyao. "Yao'er, you have to help Grandma put her finger back in!"
"Huh?!" Su Yuyao looked at the hand in front of her, which resembled a withered tree branch. "How... how do I fix this?"
This hand was not only bloodless, but also faintly smelled of rotting flesh.
Su Yuyao pinched her nose and said with difficulty, "Grandma Mountain God, I was wrong to cut your finger last time! But you asked me to fix it for you... I really don't know how!"
Lang Zhi tapped Su Yuyao's head and whispered, "Why are you pinching your nose?! Put your hand down!"
Su Yuyao reluctantly lowered her hand, muttering, "It stinks! Like poop..."
Langzhi tapped Su Yuyao on the head with her finger, "You're not allowed to say it even if it's like shit!"
Qingyue pulled Su Yuyao to her side and said coldly, "There's no need to make things difficult for Yao'er. I'll take the blame for whatever punishment you want her to receive!"
Seeing Qingyue's expression, Langzhi quickly tried to appease her, saying, "There's no punishment at all..."
"If you don't replace my fingers, you'll all regret it!" the mountain goddess roared hoarsely.
Everyone froze again, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward once more...
"Your Majesty!" Yu Qing's soft voice drifted over, "Let Miss Yao'er eat first!"
The Mountain Goddess turned and glared at Yu Qing, "You scoundrel! Who gave you the right to speak?!"
"mother……"
"Grandma Mountain Goddess!" Yu Qing curtsied slightly, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, "This is Miss Yao'er's courtyard, so naturally Miss Yao'er should be the priority. The meal has been prepared. This servant would like to ask Your Majesty whether Miss Yao'er should eat. Is there anything inappropriate about this?"
The mountain goddess stared wide-eyed, opened her mouth, wanting to curse but not knowing where to begin.
Qingyue looked at Yuqing approvingly and said, "It's getting late, it's time for Yao'er to have her meal! Let's set the table!"
"Your Majesty! The meal is ready! It's in Miss Yao'er's room!" Yu Qing replied, bowing slightly.
Qingyue smiled slightly, "Yao'er! Let's go eat first!"
After saying that, he pulled Su Yuyao and turned to go into the room.
Langzhi sighed softly and followed with her head down.
Qingyue stopped in her tracks, turned around and glared at Langzhi.
Langzhi's foot was dangling over the threshold. If he stepped in, judging from Qingyue's gaze, she would probably chop off his foot.
"Well...you guys eat..." Langzhi withdrew her foot and stood obediently at the door.
Xuanfeng glanced at Langzhi disdainfully, lifted his robe and stepped into the room. After taking only two steps, he turned around and stepped out again.
Thump!
The door was tightly shut in front of Langzhi and behind Xuanfeng.
"Hmph! My daughter kicked him out, didn't she!" Langzhi said gloatingly.
Xuanfeng rolled his eyes at Langzhi, annoyed. "You didn't even go inside, did you?!"
The Mountain Goddess pointed at her precious son and said, "Useless! You actually let those two demons have you completely under their thumb!"
Then, turning his head again, he looked at Xuanfeng, who had lost face, and said with a smile, "How come you've become so useless? It seems that my good grandson is still the most capable, actually managing to subdue a Heavenly Lord!"
Xuanfeng cleared his throat sheepishly and said, "The girl is young, so naturally I'll spoil her a bit..."
"Tch..." Langzhi scoffed at Xuanfeng's statement.
Thump! The door opened again!
Yu Qing walked out with her head down, glancing at Lang Zhi and Xuan Feng.
Langzhi and Xuanfeng quickly stepped aside, watching as Yuqing strode towards the main room, called Feihua and Fangchun, and then summoned Su'e. The group returned to Su Yuyao's small house with great fanfare.
“Grandma Mountain God,” Yu Qing said softly to the Grandma Mountain God, “Our goddess said that she was afraid that the food of mortals would defile your body, so she will go to your tombstone to burn incense when she has time, to express her condolences!”
After saying that, he slammed the door shut again!
The mountain goddess was so angry that her face scrunched up tightly.
Langzhi and Xuanfeng looked at each other, sighed, and stepped into the kitchen one after the other.
As expected, nothing was left this time, not even the bottom of the pot used to make fish soup was cleaned.
The two women sighed, hands tucked into their pockets, and squatted by the kitchen door. It seemed... these two women were really angry! And the kind that couldn't be appeased!
The mountain goddess looked at her hungry son with heartache, then spread out her withered fingers, stirred them in her mouth, and said, "Zhizhi, are you hungry? Let Mommy chew some honey for you..."
"No need! No need!" Langzhi hurriedly refused, "We're not hungry!"
Xuanfeng frowned as he looked at the Mountain Goddess's hands and said, "Mountain Goddess, did you come here today just to have this girl help you complete your fingers?"
The Mountain Goddess nodded, smiled as she examined Xuanfeng, and smacked her lips, saying, "Not bad, not bad..."
She stretched her hand out in front of Xuanfeng, brought her rotten mouth close to him, and said with a wicked smile, "How about you help me replenish my strength?"
Xuanfeng looked at his ugly hands, then looked up at the Mountain Goddess and said, "Will you go back after I mend them for you?"
The Mountain Goddess smiled and said, "Please finish it first!"
"Alright!" Xuanfeng sat down cross-legged, took the Mountain Goddess's hands in his own, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the weathered hands...
Su Yuyao's little house was very lively.
Yuqing was busy serving fish soup and fish meat to Su Yuyao and Feihua; Bai'er was busy feeding Su Yuyao, and Fangchun was busy feeding Feihua; Su Yuyao and Feihua ate and played at the same time.
Qingyue was furious with the Mountain Goddess, so she closed her eyes to regulate her breathing and smooth out her energy field.
Su'e felt a pang of sympathy seeing Qingyue's exhausted state, so she helped Qingyue massage her temples. "Your Highness, did you really get agitated? You know how the Mountain Goddess is..."
"Let's not talk about her..." Qingyue frowned slightly, "It's giving me a headache..."
"Your Majesty..." Yu Qing carefully handed over a bowl of milky white soup, "Please... have some soup..."
Qingyue slowly opened her eyes, looked at the respectful Yuqing in front of her, and said softly, "I do not eat meat..."
“I know, this is tofu soup, there’s no meat in it,” Yu Qing said, holding the soup bowl with her head down.
Looking at Yu Qing in front of her, Qing Yue recalled the scene when the two of them first met and wanted to tear each other apart, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
She smiled slightly, wanting to reach out and take the soup bowl from Yuqing's hand, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, as if taking the bowl of soup would mean accepting Yuqing as part of the family.
Su Yuyao stared at Qingyue and Yuqing with wide eyes, pondering for a moment.
"Aunt Yuqing! I want tofu soup too! Why didn't Feihua and I get any?!" Su Yuyao said, chewing her rice as she snatched the soup bowl from Yuqing's hand and drank it down in big gulps.
"Ah? Miss Yao'er, there's no meat in this tofu soup..." Yu Qing watched as Su Yuyao ate the entire bowl of tofu soup, soup and tofu, clean.
Qingyue looked at Su Yuyao with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Yuqing, do you see? From now on, no matter what food we make, we can't let her miss out on a bite! Otherwise, none of us will get to eat!"
Looking at Qingyue's appearance, Yuqing lowered her head and smiled.
"I want some too!" Fei Hua suddenly stood up and snatched the empty bowl from Su Yuyao's hand. "There aren't any left..."
Su Yuyao tossed the empty bowl to Feihua and said triumphantly, "That's all! I ate it all! It was so delicious!"
"Me too!" Feihua held up her empty bowl in front of Yuqing, and asked blankly, "Where's mine?"
Yu Qing, at a loss for words, explained, "This servant only made this one bowl..."
"A bowl..." Fei Hua looked at the empty bowl in her hand, then suddenly plopped down on the ground and cried, "I don't want to! I want to eat too!"
"Oh dear! Fairy! Fairy! Get up quickly! This old servant will make it for you in a moment!" Fangchun hurriedly coaxed Feihua.
Qingyue quickly knelt down and hugged Feihua tightly. "Feihua, be good. Your Highness will have Aunt Yuqing make some more..."
"Your Majesty... this servant will do it right away!" Yu Qing said somewhat flusteredly.
"Yuqing!" Qingyue called out to Yuqing, pointed to Feihua who had calmed down in her arms, and shook her head with a smile.
Su Yuyao patted her bulging little belly and whispered in Yuqing's ear, "Feihua has eaten enough! She can't eat anymore, she just tries to take more from me! Next time I cook something delicious, I won't give her so much!"
"I don't—ah—!" Fei Hua's cries sounded more and more like Su Yu Yao's.
"Yao'er!" Qingyue glared sternly at Su Yuyao. "Don't say another word!"
"Mother! Don't hug her!" Su Yuyao said, pulling on Qingyue's arm.
Qingyue stood up helplessly, "Alright! Mother won't hug you..."
"No!" Feihua stood up and threw herself into Qingyue's arms. "Just hug me!"
Su Yuyao glared at Feihua, "Feihua! You did this on purpose!"
Feihua leaned against Qingyue's chest, looking at Su Yuyao with a smug expression.
"Feihua! Let go!" Su Yuyao reached out and pulled Feihua out.
Fei Hua grabbed Su Yuyao's arm and started pulling at her.
Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Su Yuyao and Feihua wrestling together, then sat down to rest with her eyes closed.
Fangchun and Bai'er stepped aside and watched silently.
Yuqing was getting anxious and didn't know how to break up the fight when Su'e patted her on the shoulder and led her aside. "Miss Yuqing, don't worry, Miss and Fairy fight all the time, they won't get hurt!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Yuyao, riding on Feihua, raised her chubby little fist and gestured, "Feihua! I'm warning you! If you provoke me again, I'll really hit you!"
Feihua struggled, grabbed Su Yuyao's ponytail, pulled hard, and shoved her head against it, her hard skull directly smashing Su Yuyao's nose flat.
"Ah!" Su Yuyao felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and her nose suddenly throbbed with pain. Two warm streams flowed down her nostrils.
Su Yuyao covered her nose, held it for a while, then opened her palm to see a pool of bright red blood. "Ah—! Ah—!"
Xuanfeng, who was outside, was startled and suddenly opened his eyes.
"My lord!" said the Mountain Goddess with a smile, "Don't get distracted!"
Xuanfeng frowned, about to calm his qi again, when he heard Su'e exclaim, "Oh my god! It's broken!"
Now, Langzhi and Xuanfeng couldn't sit still any longer!
Before Qingyue could get up, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.
"Daughter! Daughter!" Langzhi took two steps to Su Yuyao, looked at Su Yuyao's bleeding nose, gritted his teeth and glared at Feihua's bright red forehead.
"Girl! Girl..." As soon as Xuanfeng showed his head, he was hugged tightly by Feihua.
"Xuanfeng! You're back! Have you come back to marry me?" Feihua asked, gazing tenderly at Xuanfeng's face.
Xuanfeng looked anxiously at Su Yuyao, instinctively patted Feihua's back, and casually replied, "Okay, okay..."
"Really?" Fei Hua exclaimed in surprise, "Xuan Feng is finally going to marry me!"
Bai Er took a handkerchief soaked in cold water and gently wiped Su Yuyao's nose.
Su Yuyao gradually stopped crying and looked at Xuanfeng, who was holding Feihua in his arms...
She remembered his embrace, his scent, and the trembling sensations she felt when she was with him…
My heart is pounding again, what should I do? When I see him, I still want to rush over and hug him! I still want to snuggle in his arms, I still want him to comfort me and pamper me... I still love him so much!
Su Yuyao lowered her head silently. She dared not ask for Xuanfeng's love as she used to, just as Qingyue dared not accept Yuqing's soup. She could no longer express her love to Xuanfeng because she could not forget the tragic scene of her father bleeding profusely!
Xuanfeng looked at Su Yuyao's expression and realized he had said the wrong thing. He quickly told Fangchun to coax Feihua away from his arms.
He dusted off his sleeves and walked up to Su Yuyao. Looking at her swollen and bleeding nose, he asked with concern, "Girl! What happened?"
"You're bleeding! Didn't you notice?!" Langzhi said irritably.
Xuanfeng glared at Langzhi, then looked at Su Yuyao, who was in low spirits, with a tender gaze.
"Girl, let me see!" Xuan Feng reached out his hand towards Su Yuyao's face, but Su Yuyao dodged it.
Langzhi stuck out her butt and looked at Su Yuyao's nose, then rolled her eyes and glared at Feihua, saying to Qingyue, "Don't let our daughter hang out with this Feihua! She's openly and secretly harming our daughter!"
"Yao'er and Feihua are always playing and roughhousing together! It's normal for them to get hurt a little!" Qingyue said casually. "Don't talk nonsense here!"
"Tuan Yue! There should be a limit to your favoritism!" Lang Zhi shouted. "How many times has this happened?! Am I making this up?!"
"Langzhi!" Qingyue raised her voice, "Don't overcomplicate things! Feihua's illness isn't cured yet..."
"Whether she's cured or not has nothing to do with whether she's harming our daughter!" Langzhi exclaimed excitedly.
"Langzhi! Calm down..."
Xuanfeng frowned slightly as he looked at Feihua, who was hiding in Fangchun's arms. Seeing Feihua's innocent and clueless expression, he shook his head with a smile. How could that be?
He looked away and turned to Su Yuyao, only to find that she had already left the room.
