This is the state a child would exhibit. The three looked at Xuan Yuan Ying and couldn't help but smile with relief, as if they could foresee that decades later, a peerless genius would appear, and his name would resound throughout the continent.
After running for a while, Xuanyuan Ying ran directly to Qi Yu's feet, hugging Qi Yu's leg with his small body. "Father, I want a hug." Xuanyuan Ying looked at Qi Yu expectantly. Qi Yu squatted down and picked Xuanyuan Ying up in one go.
"Okay, Father will hold you." Qi Yu hugged Xuan Yuan Ying and rested his head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Father-in-law, this child is a bit clingy. He is indeed very strong. I plan to take him with me to the Heavenly Stems Academy."
The two looked at the sleeping Xuanyuan Ying with some disbelief. "Why does this child seem so insecure?" The two circled around the child, whose head was already resting firmly on Qi Yu's head.
The change was quite significant in an instant. Qi Yu stroked Xuan Yuan Ying's head with a very kind expression, "Although Ying'er possesses great strength, her body is indeed not very energetic. It's probably a side effect of being too strong. She still needs to be carefully taken care of."
Qi Yu sighed. Li Jie and Li Zhenchuan were completely captivated by Xuan Yuan Ying. The two looked at Xuan Yuan Ying and said in unison, "Tell us what Ying'er needs, and we're willing to give it to him."
At this moment, both of them seemed to be under control, and they were very fond of Xuanyuan Ying.
"This is what our descendants should look like."
"Qi Yu, I heard before that you didn't even have any spiritual power, and were even unable to cultivate. How come you have made such rapid progress and become a Tribulation Transcending Realm in just a few months?" Li Jie was very curious and took the opportunity to ask.
“Second Father-in-law, this is indeed a difficult situation. At first, under Xiao Xiao's guidance, I secretly began to cultivate and reached the Foundation Establishment stage. When my mother-in-law came, I was abandoned by Xiao Xiao. Only by becoming stronger again could I have Xiao Xiao. I was unwilling to hunt prey in the forest. The more I killed, the more my cultivation increased. But an accident happened. I was swallowed by the level 5 magical beast, the Sacred Jade Poison Python. I picked up a dark stone. The stone emitted a huge amount of energy. I burst out of the Sacred Jade Poison Python's belly. That strange stone even took me to a secret room.”
Qi Yu paused for a moment and continued, "I'm sure my father-in-law has also heard of the secret realm. That stone can open the gate to the secret realm."
After saying that, he took out a pitch-black stone.
After much hesitation, Jiang Jianjun made a careful decision: "Sister, I think so too. There's no rush for Wentao to return home." After saying that, he quickly drafted a new list, revised it, and hurriedly sent it over.
Jiang Jianjun left in a hurry, the stone slabs in front of the door clattering under his footsteps. Jiang Wanqing stood at the door for a long time, her hand gently stroking her empty stomach.
Jiang Xing sat on the stool with his legs crossed and sighed, "Wanwan, your dream came at just the right time."
"Hmm." Jiang Wanqing felt a huge weight lifted from her heart and slumped into the stool, feeling completely relaxed. If she had helped Wentao get on the list of those returning home, even if she didn't want to marry him in the future, her parents would definitely force her to marry him for the sake of face. Not to mention that in the following years, her father, Jiang Jianjun, was actually punished and lost his position as the brigade leader, and her brother passed the college entrance examination but did not finish his studies.
I must never bring misfortune to my family again in this lifetime.
Jiang Xing stood to the side, arms crossed, grinning foolishly. "Girl, you've finally figured it out."
Jiang Wanqing snapped out of her daze, turned around, went back inside, sat down on a stool, picked up a teacup from the table, and took another big gulp. In her past life, her brother had reminded her many times that she had been completely swayed by Wen Tao back then, and always felt that her brother was deliberately slandering her.
"Hiccup~"
After gulping down the tea, she felt a little better: "Brother, I had a nightmare. In the dream, Wentao hit me and cheated on me with Jiang Yunyan. He's so awful."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xing immediately became furious. "You mean my cousin Yun Yan? I remember she was pestering Wen Tao for a while."
"I told you, brother, I'm not getting married. I'll take care of our parents from now on."
After they finished talking, Jiang Xing went back to his room to study, and she also went back to her room, slamming the door shut. Her body went limp as she leaned against the door, her heart filled with complex emotions. At least she was back, and everything was still in time. She still had to find a way to study.
In her past life, her husband, Wentao, was a big spender. She, who had no education, worked as a cleaner to support the family. She was called dirty and ridiculed for her lack of education. She lived in the shadow of ridicule her whole life. The enormous physical labor and psychological pressure took a toll on her body, and she never had a chance to catch her breath.
Dragging her limp body, she struggled to sit on the bed, tears streaming down her face like a dam left open. The small but cozy room was the only warmth she had ever experienced in her past life. It took her a long time to compose herself before leaving the room to cook lunch at the stove.
The sound of a vegetable basket hitting the ground came from outside the door, along with Chen Fen's laughter. She seemed to be talking to someone. Jiang Wanqing, who was heating up her meal inside, immediately went out to greet her.
"Mom, you're back."
At first glance, there was a tall man behind her mother. The moment he appeared, she couldn't help but look at him. It was Fu Yi, a man who could attract everyone's attention as soon as he appeared. Not only was his skin fair, but he also had sword-like eyebrows, a sharp nose, and a handsome face. All the grass and green trees around him became mere background, making it hard for her to look away. His height of 1.9 meters was practically a god-like presence in this mountain village full of peasants.
Realizing that she had been lingering for a while, Jiang Wanqing awkwardly withdrew her gaze.
Chen Fen took off her muddy shoes and frowned when she saw her younger sister's strange expression. Then she smiled and greeted her, "Fu Yi, come in and have a meal here. I heard from Jiang Xing that Fu Yi was ostracized among that group of educated youth and had to cook for himself. He's a grown man and he can't even cook well. Sometimes he doesn't have money and has to pick up rotten vegetables to eat. So I invited him to have a meal. Little sister, be sensible, okay? He's given your brother a lot of guidance."
Finally, he winked at Jiang Wanqing.
She clenched her fists tightly, remembering a similar scene from her past life where she had said some hurtful things that had driven the person away.
Being ostracized must be a problem with his character, it has nothing to do with Wentao.
It's a waste that she's so tall; all she can do is manual labor, unlike her son Wentao, who is naturally gifted at studying.
A person like Fu Yi should stay here and grow vegetables for the rest of his life.
Just thinking about it brought back a bunch of embarrassing memories, which made her shudder. She didn't dare say such things now. This was a future big shot. She quickly went back into the house, put the food she had prepared on the stove on the table, and greeted him stiffly and somewhat awkwardly, "Fu Yi, you're here. Please sit down."
Although they weren't very enthusiastic, it was a world of difference compared to their previous attitude.
This change left Jiang Xing, who had just come out of the room, dumbfounded. "Wanwan, you—" She's changed her personality, huh? The words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
"What's wrong with me?" Jiang Wanqing looked innocent, her eyes darting left and right, a little guilty.
