Su Huamei bought clothes at the supermarket. The style wasn't very attractive, resembling pajamas, but they were made of pure cotton and were bound to be comfortable.
Besides, she could wear them for now without being too particular. She also bought her a toy, a red foam airplane with blue dots. She saw it by the checkout counter and bought it on impulse.
Considering her two pairs of wings, Su Huamei specifically bought the clothes a size larger to make it easier for her to wear them.
"But can you retract those wings of yours?" Su Huamei asked Gugu.
Su Jinxiu was beside them, lowering her head, figuring out how to dress Gugu, or perhaps cut two openings in the back. When Gugu wore her clothes before, they were loose and oversized, so it didn't feel awkward. Now, with clothes that fit, the two pairs of wings made them less suitable.
However, after demons shapeshift, they can retract certain racial features, which is why Su Huamei asked.
"Probably not. Gugu can only be considered a half-demon," Su Jinxiu said, raising her head upon hearing this.
But just then, Gugu looked up beside them, deep in thought. Soon, a pair of wings on her back suddenly spread out and dissipated into the air like falling feathers.
"Huh?"
Su Jinxiu was very surprised. Although her original form was human, she later cultivated the demon path and then shapeshifted into a human. Therefore, she knew very well how difficult this seemingly simple step was.
And Gugu, who couldn't even be considered a demon yet, could directly retract her wings. To be able to do this was not just difficult, but almost unimaginable.
It was like a person being able to make their arms disappear and reappear through sheer willpower. It was completely impossible.
Yet Gugu had managed to achieve this, indicating that Gugu herself was extremely special.
When she thought of the divine patterns on her wings, it seemed reasonable.
Those were divine patterns that only innate deities could possess, and they appeared on a little girl.
This suggested that Gugu was likely not just a product of the laboratory. Her bloodline might be extremely special, and it was only activated by some experiment in the laboratory, leading to atavism and granting her powerful abilities.
However, with her wings retracted, it became easier for Su Jinxiu to dress her.
As for Gugu's old clothes, Su Jinxiu didn't throw them away. She planned to wash them and return them to her.
Those clothes might be Gugu's only proof of her past.
The little girl sat quietly on the sofa, watching television like a little princess. How could those people bear to harm her?
Indeed, the most venomous thing in this world was the human heart.
Liu Nanfeng didn't let Gugu stay at home for too long and sent her back to Guanshanhai.
Although Su Jinxiu had used her own mana to heal Gugu's injuries, staying in Guanshanhai would be beneficial for her.
Gugu hugged her foam airplane, her attitude towards Su Huamei much improved. This was the first gift she had received since leaving home.
And it was a small airplane. She liked to fly, she wanted to fly...
So, before Liu Nanfeng sent her back, she actively waved her small hand at Su Huamei and softly cooed twice.
Liu Nanfeng breathed out a scroll and, wrapping them both up in it, took them into the air.
The Su sisters didn't show much surprise when the two disappeared before their eyes.
However, they were quite amazed that Liu Nanfeng could directly enter the scroll.
Moreover, they were completely oblivious to the scroll's appearance. If everyone couldn't see or touch it, it was a very powerful technique.
As long as they encountered danger, they could completely escape into the painting to avoid it.
"By the way, how much do you know about Yang Ruoyun?"
Seeing that Liu Nanfeng was not around, Su Jinxiu turned to ask Su Huamei.
"Who, Yang Ruoyun?" Su Huamei was stunned by the question, completely unsure of who she was referring to.
But then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Are you referring to the daughter of the wealthy merchant Yang Siqing from Kaifeng Prefecture?"
"Otherwise?"
"She's someone from hundreds of years ago. Why are you asking about her? Wait, I remember you asked me about her last time too."
Saying this, she took out her phone and flipped through her chat history with Su Jinxiu.
Su Jinxiu had previously sent her a painting for identification, and it depicted Yang Ruoyun.
"Do you know how husband's [Guanshanhai] came about?"
Su Huamei shook her head. How could she know? Liu Nanfeng had only mentioned [Guanshanhai] earlier and hadn't discussed its origin.
"I suspect this [Guanshanhai] is related to that Yang Ruoyun..."
Su Jinxiu told Su Huamei everything: how Liu Nanfeng met Moyu while delivering food, found [Guanshanhai] in the trash, and how Moyu later sought them out with the painting.
Upon hearing this, Su Huamei's eyes widened. It seemed that this matter was indeed related to Yang Ruoyun.
"Moyu... Moyu..." Su Huamei called out.
"Stop calling. I checked before. Moyu is just an ordinary cat, nothing special," Su Jinxiu said.
"Is that so?" Su Huamei frowned and fell into thought.
"I want to ask you, did you ever hear any rumors about Arrun and Yang Ruoyun back then?"
Su Huamei thought for a moment and said, "That guy had too many romantic affairs. How could we possibly know all of them? However, anyone who made it onto the 'Hundred Beauties' list naturally had a close relationship with him."
"That scoundrel."
Even after a hundred years, Su Jinxiu couldn't help but curse him upon hearing this, to vent her discontent.
"Compared to Arrun, Nanfeng can be considered an honest person," Su Huamei laughed.
Su Jinxiu glared at her displeasedly.
"The social atmosphere was different back then. It was considered a refined and romantic affair for scholars to visit brothels. Moreover, Arrun was a renowned scholar of the time," Su Jinxiu reasoned.
This was a typical case of protecting one's own; she could insult him, but others couldn't.
"Yes, men had such a good time back then," Su Huamei didn't mind, sitting beside her sister and resting her chin on her hand.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Jinxiu gently tapped her head.
Su Huamei seized the opportunity to hug Su Jinxiu's arm and lean on her shoulder.
"Actually, if Sister really wants to know, you can ask someone?" Su Huamei chuckled.
"Ask who?" Su Jinxiu immediately pressed.
Then she realized, "Zhu Yin'e?"
"No, Arrun isn't stupid. How could he possibly say such things in front of Zhu Yin'e?"
"Then who?"
"Han Xiangning," Su Huamei uttered a name that greatly surprised Su Jinxiu.
"Why ask her? Could it be that Arrun also had something to do with her?" Su Jinxiu suddenly stood up, asking in shock.
"Sister, what are you talking about? When Han Xiangning became a demon, Arrun had already been missing for many years," Su Huamei couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Yes, look at me." Su Jinxiu gave an awkward smile.
Then she frowned in thought, "I remember she was also from Kaifeng Prefecture."
"Not only that, but the most important thing is that she investigated Arrun's past. Back then, it wasn't as long ago as it is now, and there were still people who remembered him," Su Huamei said.
"Why would she investigate Arrun?" Su Jinxiu asked.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized that she must have felt it was not worth it for her sister to wait so patiently for a man.
"I remember she complained to me back then, saying that Arrun was promiscuous and flirted with everyone, and that she felt it was unfair to Sister."
"That's because Arrun was capable. All the women in the world admired him. Ordinary women were hard to catch his eye; appearance, talent, temperament, and personality were all indispensable."
"Sister..."
Seeing Su Jinxiu like this, Su Huamei didn't know what to say.
While the two sisters were chatting, Liu Nanfeng had been gone for a long time because he was inside the world of [Guanshanhai], playing with the foam airplane Su Huamei had just bought with Gugu.
