The Farm Girl’s Charismatic Fortune
Chapter 156 - 152: Are You Helping Him or Helping Me?

Chapter 156: Chapter 152: Are You Helping Him or Helping Me?

The Demon Lord stared at Ruo Xuan, "Woof woof woof..."

I don’t care, you must help me buy that pig and slaughter it. Since you adopted me, you’re responsible for me!

Ruo Xuan felt wronged, "I didn’t adopt you! I just adopted a dog."

How dare she adopt the mighty Demon Lord? And how could she possibly afford to?

The Demon Lord wanted to argue that the dog was him, but then he thought it didn’t sound right. Saying that would be admitting he was a dog, wouldn’t it?

He squatted on the ground, sullen and stewing in his own frustration.

Once he regained his status as the Demon Lord, he was definitely going to annihilate this Little Xuanhua!

How dare she shame him by calling him a dog!

Ruo Hang and his brothers really liked the Little White Dog, they eagerly gathered around, lifting him up, petting his head, and smoothing his fur, "Xuanbao, what’s wrong with Xiaobai? He seems unhappy."

Ruo Xuan picked up the Little White Dog, "He wants to go play! I’ll take him to play with Brother Xuanyuan."

Let’s leave the Demon Lord’s problem to the Divine Lord Xuanyuan to solve!

She also feared that after the Demon Lord regained his freedom, she wouldn’t be able to beat him.

After all, her cultivation was 9,999 years behind that of the Demon Lord.

"Grandma, how about I invite Grandmother Xuanyuan and Brother Xuanyuan over for roasted whole lamb tomorrow?" Ruo Xuan didn’t forget the matter at hand and asked casually.

"That would be great! Since the two of them are not going back to the Capital City for the New Year, why don’t you invite them to celebrate with our family? It’ll be more festive."

"Okay!" Ruo Xuan took the Little White Dog and ran up the mountain.

As Ruo Xuan ran up the mountain, she saw carriage after carriage descending the smoothly repaired mountain roads. She only took one glance before dashing straight towards the manor.

In the courtyard, there were boxes upon boxes, baskets upon baskets of goods, all sent from the Capital City for the grandparents and grandchild to celebrate the New Year.

They had everything they could need or want, all to prevent the grandparents and grandchild from feeling slighted while celebrating the New Year outside the palace.

Shopkeeper Gu was directing people to move the necessities to the storeroom and the food to the dining hall and the root cellar.

When Ruo Xuan saw Shopkeeper Gu, she sweetly said, "Shopkeeper Gu, we’re roasting a whole lamb at my house tomorrow. Please come and join us!"

Shopkeeper Gu smiled and agreed, "Alright, if the elderly lady and the little master are going, then I’ll come."

Ruo Xuan smiled, "Great, I’ll go invite Grandmother Xuanyuan and Brother Xuanyuan right now."

Leaving this message behind, she ran inside holding the Little White Dog, who was the Demon Lord in disguise.

Now, the manor was like Xuanbao’s home, where she could enter as she pleased. The hidden guards saw her and no longer paid her any attention.

Ruo Xuan first went to the courtyard of Old Lady Xuanyuan.

"Grandmother Xuanyuan, I’m here!"

Tomorrow was Chinese New Year’s Eve, and many flowers sent from the Capital City were arriving. Grandmother Xuanyuan was in the house instructing the servants on how to arrange those precious plants in every corner of the house.

Old Lady Xuanyuan was delighted to see Ruo Xuan, "Xuanbao, you finally got free time!"

If Xuanbao didn’t come, she worried that her grandson’s reclusiveness might flare up again!

These past few days, her grandson had relapsed into his former state.

"I’m free now, Grandmother Xuanyuan. How about you and Brother Xuanyuan come to my house tomorrow for a roasted whole lamb?"

"Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, when everyone has their family reunion dinner. Won’t it be too much of a disturbance?" Old Lady Xuanyuan actually liked the idea. She wanted her grandson to enjoy a lively birthday and to experience the warmth of an ordinary family reunion dinner, but she was afraid of imposing.

"Not at all, roasting a whole lamb is only fun with lots of people. We can also spend the New Year’s Eve together. And isn’t it Brother Xuanyuan’s birthday tomorrow? It’s also my birthday, and I want to celebrate with Brother Xuanyuan; it will be even more lively."

Old Lady Xuanyuan smiled, "Xuanbao wants to spend her birthday with her brother? Alright then, go ask him. If he agrees, we’ll celebrate together."

Every Chinese New Year’s Eve, there would be a palace banquet, but her grandson, who could speak before he was a year old, clearly refused to attend. He preferred to stay alone in the palace.

Lady Xuanyuan thought about Xuanbao going to the city to sell couplets for the past few days, not coming to the villa, and her grandson reverting to his old ways, speaking no more than five words in a day, each word no more than a syllable!

He stayed in his room alone, who knows what he was up to, making himself look like a monk in seclusion, about to achieve ascension.

She was getting old and didn’t know when she would kick the bucket. In the future, her eldest grandson would inherit the throne, busy with a myriad of state affairs, unable to accompany him.

She didn’t want her younger grandson to spend the rest of his life alone after she was gone.

She hoped he could integrate into this world, live a colorful life, and not be like an old man, devoid of interest in life.

Yuhua said with a smile, "Lady Xuanbao and the young master are truly fated, born on the same day."

Lady Xuanyuan laughed, "Indeed. Are the birthday gifts for Xuanbao ready?"

She hadn’t expected that the two children would share the same birthday, which was quite fateful.

It was a pity they weren’t born in the same year; sharing the same year, month, and day would have been even more fateful!

Lady Xuanyuan didn’t know that they could have shared the same year, month, and day if it weren’t for someone taking a half-step ahead, which changed everything.

Otherwise, both could have been her own grandchildren!

Ruo Xuan, holding Little White Dog, ran towards Xuanyuan Que’s courtyard, swift as the wind.

Demon Lord protested in her arms: "Woof, woof, woof."

Tomorrow is my birthday too, and I, as the Demon Lord, shall also celebrate my birthday.

Ruo Xuan generously said, "Of course!"

When the time comes, give him a pig trotter to gnaw on; stewed until tender, pig trotters are very delicious!

In the room, Xuanyuan Que smelled a fragrance and heard a few barks; the string of beads he was carving disappeared from his hand in an instant.

He picked up a book and casually flipped through it.

Ruo Xuan ran in holding Little White Dog, "Brother Xuanyuan, how about coming to my house to eat roast whole lamb tomorrow to celebrate our birthday together?"

Xuanyuan Que glanced at the Demon Lord in her arms, his eyes grew a bit colder, and he covered his nose, "Stay away from me, there’s a stink of dog."

Little White Dog, the Demon Lord: "..."

Ruo Xuan sniffed and indeed detected a scent. The aura of the Demon Lord was fresh and resembled that of cedar, not unpleasant at all.

However, Divine Lord Xuanyuan disapproved, so she quickly put Little White Dog down, then performed a Little Fairy Technique to cleanse the scent from her body.

Little White Dog, the Demon Lord, also lowered his head to sniff his fur. He groomed his fur diligently every day, how could it possibly stink?

The Demon Lord protested at Xuanyuan Que frantically: "Woof, woof, woof..."

You’re the one who smells bad, your entire family smells bad.

Xuanyuan Que flicked his sleeve.

"Woof, woof..." The sound disappeared into the sky.

Ruo Xuan: "..."

Fortunately, she hadn’t offended Divine Lord Xuanyuan.

Ruo Xuan couldn’t help but use another Little Fairy Technique to cleanse herself, then she sniffed her body. Good, no more dog smell!

Xuanyuan Que glanced at her, "Why did you bring him here?"

Ruo Xuan hastily said, "The Demon Lord told me his other soul is in a pig, and he wanted me to buy that pig and slaughter it. That way, his soul could return to its rightful place. But the pig is a hundred miles away, and I can’t buy it. Brother Xuanyuan, can you buy it for us?"

Xuanyuan Que said, "You mean to say, let me buy that pig, slaughter it, so the Demon Lord can reclaim his strength and then come after me for revenge? Are you helping him or helping me?"

Ruo Xuan: ...
