Old Mrs. Jiang was actually quite skilled. The nest she made was very particular about technique. It was made of small blue floral fabric and looked very nice, giving off a good impression. It was clear it came from someone with nimble hands.
"Grandma Jiang, you're truly amazing. The nest I made before was just a straw one, but yours is incredible, so beautifully made. Anyone who sees it will say it's beautiful."
"You flatter me. I raised my little grandson, making all his clothes from when he was small. These are just some rough things, not worthy of Miss Xue's praise."
This Grandma Jiang was truly a virtuous woman. The bear's nest was made very well, and the little bear slept soundly inside. What was remarkable was that no one showed any hostility towards the bear. Even that little brat Jiang Yunsheng kept watching by the little bear, as if he had found a big pet. His eyes didn't leave it, and he looked very happy.
"This little bear looks so cute sleeping, and it has a scent, like a little puppy, it smells so good, sweet."
Children are naturally fond of animals, so this little bear was indeed a bit large, but it was still good. At least there was a little pet to play with, or rather, a big pet.
"Yunsheng, be good, don't scare the little bear cub. Grandma tells you, don't be fooled by its size. It's just a few months old and looks quite pitiful. So, never bully smaller creatures. All life is worthy of respect."
Grandma Jiang was always very sincere in this regard, and when she educated her grandson, her tone was incredibly patient. It was a blessing for Grandma Jiang's grandson to have such a grandmother.
Even Ye Tiancheng, watching from the side, couldn't help but smile. For him, being able to experience ordinary life and witness the beauty of great love in the world made him feel very happy. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Alright, everyone rest. Today, this bear cub has gone through the most difficult day of its bear life. May everything be better tomorrow."
Ye Tiancheng also sent his best wishes and prepared to sleep, his eyelids so heavy he could barely keep them open. Whenever a certain amount of true qi was lost, it was not easy to repair it. Therefore, the best scenario was to sleep until dawn.
Isn't there a saying that goes, "Count money until your hands go numb, sleep until you wake up naturally"? These are the two happiest things in life.
In the middle of the night, Lin Xue suddenly opened her eyes. Lin Xue had noticed the different attitude of the refined man towards the little bear and sensed something amiss, so she paid extra attention.
Lin Xue had a backup plan: she had infused the pitiful little bear with some spiritual energy around its body. This spiritual energy was meant to protect the poor little fellow. If anyone had any ill intentions towards the bear, the moment the spiritual energy fluctuated even slightly, the heroine would immediately wake up and prevent anything from happening.
"What's wrong? Little darling, who bullied you?"
The heroine quickly went to check the little bear in the corner. She was startled by what she saw. The little bear cub had almost had its throat slit. The perpetrator had just run off, not far away.
With a reach of her hand, Lin Xue directly pulled the person back with her spiritual energy. For Lin Xue, anyone who offended her would never be forgiven lightly.
"Spare me, please! I know I was wrong!"
The speaker was the "little yellow hair." The reason this guy was caught at this moment was that he had secretly tried to assassinate the little bear with a dagger.
"You're quite the troublemaker, aren't you?" Lin Xue had no intention of going easy on the "little yellow hair." For someone like him, being cut into a thousand pieces wouldn't be enough to vent her anger.
"When you attacked the little bear, did you ever think you'd end up like this?"
Lin Xue wanted to kill this "yellow hair" directly, but then that refined man, with his thick skin, did something extremely despicable. He even dared to come out and beg for mercy.
"I think it's best to let it go. Can you give me some face?" The refined man put on a reasonable and objective demeanor, as if he truly had some influence. "After all, this yellow-haired guy is my brother. It wouldn't be good if you completely eliminated him."
What he said was truly laughable. Lin Xue directly exposed him, "You're quite amusing. Isn't this brother of yours the one you sent? Is it still interesting to pretend now? Letting your brother take the blame, your position as the big brother isn't very stable, is it?"
"What are you saying? Miss Xue, you're young, and I've been indulging you. You can't be ungrateful and always go against me. What good does that do for you?"
The refined man was clearly getting anxious, otherwise, he wouldn't be arguing heatedly with a young girl. The main reason was that his hypocritical facade had been torn apart, causing this person who had been pretending so perfectly to completely expose his intentions.
"Why do you want to kill this little bear?" Lin Xue couldn't understand. If there was no motive at all, then Lin Xue could only conclude that this guy was simply psychologically abnormal.
"Whether it's me or my brother, we were both scared to death by that bear. So, everything I'm doing now is quite normal. Bears are inherently evil. Such animals should be exterminated. If they are left alive, there will be endless trouble."
It was almost unbelievable that such a person existed. A small bear cub had only been born not long ago and surely hadn't had a chance to provoke him. Now, this little bear cub's attack power was no match for an adult. To say there was any grievance between them would be pure nonsense.
"Then I'll let you taste what pain feels like."
After Lin Xue finished speaking, the refined man cried out, feeling a dull pain in his waist, as if it had been torn apart.
"Miss Xue, please retract your magic. I was too reckless. In my eyes, you are a fairy. I shouldn't have been so rude to you. I now sincerely repent."
This guy was a typical opportunist who would change sides with the wind. He saw Lin Xue's power and remembered that Lin Xue alone had defeated such a large monster. A normal person like the refined man was no match for Lin Xue, let alone with the help of a subordinate. The "yellow hair" could never pose any threat to Lin Xue.
Suddenly realizing that this was not appropriate for him, he immediately became cowardly again, apologizing to the beautiful woman in an attempt to gain Lin Xue's forgiveness.
Of course, Lin Xue wouldn't kill someone over such a small matter, but she also wouldn't let him off so easily. For Lin Xue, there was no room for even a speck of sand in her eyes. Once she found something wrong with someone, she would relentlessly pursue them, giving them no further opportunity to quibble.
"Originally, I also thought that meeting each other was fate, and I didn't want to make things too ugly. But you've gone too far. You wouldn't even spare a small life, and you're always so self-righteous. I have nothing else to say to someone like you. I just want to tell you one thing: I won't spend another second with someone like you, so please leave and disappear from my sight completely, or I might take action against you."
Lin Xue's eyes even showed a murderous intent. In such situations, there was usually a problem, and Lin Xue might very well kill someone.
This gaze, filled with immense aggression, made the refined man and his subordinate tremble all over.
"Brother, let's go. If this place doesn't keep us, there are other places that will!"
The "yellow hair" spoke with a voice that grew smaller and smaller, as he was truly scared and on the verge of being frightened out of his wits by Lin Xue's powerful aura. At this moment, whatever he did, he was trying his best to save his own life.
"Since the young lady doesn't want to see us, it wouldn't look good for us two grown men to force ourselves to stay. Wouldn't that make us seem like we have problems with our brains?"
With things reaching this point, it was useless to try and salvage the situation. Even if the refined man didn't want to leave and wanted to use Ye Tiancheng to do something, he couldn't anymore. At this moment, he could only obediently comply.
"Alright, fairy sister, I admit I did something wrong. I don't want to dwell on it anymore. Let's leave it at that. I'll listen to whatever you say. We'll leave first, and when you've calmed down, we brothers will come back."
The refined man was indeed strategic in his actions. He would always try to achieve his goals. Even if things had gone sour now, he wouldn't completely cut off contact.
Leaving a little room for maneuver was probably the common thought of all intelligent people. Perhaps this was reality.
"I advise you to dismiss this idea as soon as possible. I will never have any further dealings with someone like you. As for the secrets you hold in your heart, you'd better keep them to yourself. No one wants to know."
Lin Xue's hint once again made the refined man realize that Lin Xue probably knew more than he imagined. This woman was always so smart; people couldn't fool her.
"In any case, our paths may cross again. See you later, goodbye everyone."
The refined man didn't even wait for Ye Tiancheng to get up. He took his "yellow hair" subordinate and left. When Ye Tiancheng finally woke up, Lin Xue, still a little shaken, ran over to consult him.
"Master, I might have done something impulsive, but I can't be blamed for this. That person was too much. That guy with the glasses colluded with the yellow-haired guy to harm the little bear cub. Fortunately, I protected the little bear cub with spiritual energy from the beginning, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Ye Tiancheng was too exhausted, so he didn't get up when he heard the commotion. However, in his semi-conscious state, he had basically understood what had happened, so he wasn't too bothered.
"Xue'er, my heart is at peace. You sent that person away, and I can only give you a big thumbs up. Keeping someone like that around us would eventually be a disaster. The sooner you get rid of him, the sooner we can have peace."
Her master doted on her too much. This kind of unconditional love made Lin Xue realize that although it was outwardly a master-disciple relationship, their feelings had long since transcended that, becoming an unspeakable trust.
"Master, you're too good to your disciple. I'll listen to everything you say from now on."
"Silly girl, don't be so polite with me. The cook ran off today, so it seems we'll have to cook ourselves. Today, I'll show you my culinary skills."
