Chapter 169: Chapter 165: Successfully Living as a Village Girl

Everyone listened to Madam Liu’s words and curiously turned their attention to Hen Lan,

Liu Wenyao directly asked, "What happened at Tianxiang Tower?"

Madam Liu smiled, "Nothing much, it just seems that someone went to Tianxiang Tower to eat, but did not have the silver to pay for the meal."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Hen Lan, their minds abuzz with thought.

No way! Isn’t the Yang Family quite wealthy?

The Yang Family had just changed to a larger house recently; they surely wouldn’t be lacking the silver for a meal, would they?

Hen Lan’s face flushed with anger due to Madam Liu’s words and everyone’s stares.

Madam Liu is such a detestable bitch! She always speaks and acts in a way that makes people uncomfortable.

She couldn’t understand how Ruo Shui could marry such a disagreeable woman—lacking in manners, incapable of speaking properly, far inferior to herself!

"Madam Liu, on that occasion my purse was stolen without my knowledge! Don’t spout nonsense!"

Madam Liu infuriatingly said, "I said it seemed like someone, I didn’t say it was you. You’re so quick to clarify, isn’t that just an admission of guilt? Also, why are you glaring at me? It’s not like I stole your purse! If you’ve got the guts, go find the person who stole it!"

Hen Lan was so angered by her words she nearly wished she could slap Madam Liu right then and there!

But with so many onlookers, continuing the argument would only make things worse; she dared not say more and hurriedly interjected, "Your recent idea was good, let’s leave the prize to Madam Feng! Do you have any objections?"

Madam Feng is the wife of another master of the Academy and has always had a good relationship with Hen Lan.

Madam Liu smiled, "No objections!"

She beckoned Ruo Xuan over, "Xuanbao, first take off your bracelet."

Ruo Xuan obediently took off her bracelet and handed it to Madam Liu.

Yang Qiqi also took off her gold lock and handed it to Hen Lan.

Then, both of them handed the items over to Madam Feng.

Madam Feng said with a smile, "Then I’ll serve as the referee just this once! Alright, you two young ladies can start now! Whoever kicks the shuttlecock and catches it the most times will be the winner!"

Yang Qiqi looked at Ruo Xuan smugly, then tossed the shuttlecock into the air and started kicking it with her foot.

Zhang Lei was a bit worried and tugged at Ruo Xuan’s sleeve, "Xuanbao, can you kick it? Do you want your cousin to teach you?"

Ruo Xuan shook her head, "No need! Watch this!"

Ruo Xuan tossed the shuttlecock casually, throwing it both high and far!

Ruo Xuan: "..."

Ugh, that was a miscalculation, too forceful!

The onlookers: "..."

That’s it, with those short legs of hers, she won’t be able to catch it on the first try!

Ruo Xuan dashed out with a flash, then with a lift and a kick of her little legs, she caught the shuttlecock.

However, with that kick, she again failed to gauge her strength properly, and the shuttlecock flew off once more!

Hen Lan’s heart settled, thinking, "Hmph, what a fool, the contest is over before it even started!"

Unexpectedly, Ruo Xuan ran after it again and barely managed to kick the shuttlecock back into the air!

This time the shuttlecock didn’t fly off aimlessly but shot straight up into the sky.

Ruo Xuan took the opportunity to steady herself, and when the shuttlecock came down, she lifted her foot gently and kicked it upwards. The shuttlecock bounced up and fell again, and Ruo Xuan lifted her foot and gently kicked it, once and again, without missing a beat...

Steady as they go!

Zhang Lei and her sisters began to count together for Ruo Xuan, "Three, four, five..."

Hen Lan’s face started to look ugly, but she wasn’t worried—her own daughter could kick the shuttlecock hundreds of times, and now she had already been kicking for a while, certainly faster than that idiot girl.

Yang Qiwei, holding onto a child she had been playing with, started counting loudly for Yang Qiqi, "Twelve, thirteen..."

Gradually, a crowd of children and adults formed around the two girls at the center.

"Fifty, fifty-one..." the Zhang sisters counted more excitedly and loudly as they went on.

They couldn’t help it, Xuanbao was just too impressive!

Not wanting to be outdone, Yang Qiwei’s counting grew louder too, "Sixty-three, sixty-four..."

....

While the two children were intensely competing in kicking the shuttlecock, half a quarter of an hour earlier, in a villa on a certain mountain, Xuanyuan Que was sitting in front of a window reading a book. Suddenly, the spiritual power within the bracelet in his hand surged, causing him to frown and look in the direction of the county town.

What’s wrong with that flower?

Did she fall?

Her spiritual power fluctuated slightly, and no spell was activated, proving she was not in any danger. He did not pay much attention and continued to read his book.

But after a while, his expression changed, and he disappeared on the spot.

A book dropped in mid-air and fell to the ground.

~

"Eighty, eighty-one..." The three Zhang sisters counted loudly in unison.

An unknowing number of children had gathered around them and joined in the count!

There was no helping it, Xuanbao was really too impressive. She was about to catch up with Yang Qiqi in the number of kicks. Just a few more to go!

Over at Yang Qiwei’s side, they were also shouting louder and louder: "Eighty-five, eighty-six... ninety!"

Ruo Xuan’s fan club: "Eighty-five, eighty-six, eighty-seven, eighty-eight, eighty-nine, ninety!"

She’s caught up!

She’s caught up!

Fans from both sides shouted together: "Ninety-one, ninety-two."

Yang Qiqi felt anxious in her heart, and in a moment of overzealousness, she kicked the shuttlecock too hard and it flew straight towards Ruo Xuan.

Ruo Xuan subconsciously kicked it back to Yang Qiqi, then caught her shuttlecock and continued the game.

Seeing the shuttlecock flying back, Yang Qiqi subconsciously raised her foot to catch it. She did catch it, but because of the angle it flew out again, this time to the other side and no one was there to catch and kick it back to her!

Ruo Xuan continued kicking.

Ruo Xuan’s fan club cheered joyfully: "Xuanbao wins! Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred..."

Hen Lan’s face looked a bit unpleasant; that golden lock had cost fifty silver to make!

If she lost it, her mother-in-law would surely blame Qiqi.

Ruo Xuan was not yet satisfied with her play and continued kicking without stopping.

At that moment, a small figure rushed out and pushed hard at Ruo Xuan’s back: "You little bitch, who let you kick my sister’s shuttlecock and made her lose!!"

The push was so strong that Ruo Xuan stumbled forward and fell to the ground.

Her forehead hit the flagstone, breaking the skin, swelling up into a large lump, and blood was flowing.

Her wrist was also broken, oozing blood!

"Xuanbao!" Madam Liu and the three Zhang sisters rushed over.

Ruo Xuan was about to get up when she was pulled up by a rushing little figure.

She smelled the warm scent of sunshine, somewhat hurried.

Ruo Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Brother Xuanyuan, how did you get here?"

"Does it hurt?" Xuanyuan Que, supporting her, looked at the injuries on her forehead and hand. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed together, his little face cold as ice. He was about to use a spell to heal her injuries, but Ruo Xuan pushed him away, "It hurts! Damn it, that’s too wicked! I’ll destroy him!"

If someone made her suffer, she would make them suffer even more!

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

Ruo Xuan pushed away Xuanyuan Que, turned around, and charged at Yang Qiwei. Coming up behind him, she pushed hard and knocked Yang Qiwei heavily to the ground: "You mongrel dog, you dare to push me!"

Xuanyuan Que stiffened all over.

Mongrel dog?

This girl, where did she learn these curse words?

Xuanyuan Que looked at Little Xuanhua with her hands on her hips, her short legs standing on the flower bed, her face fierce and menacing. He fell silent for a moment.

She resembled a quarrelsome village woman to a tee.

This flower is getting more capable by the day; a fine blossom has turned into the spitting image of a village girl.

Every day, he listened to her excited stories about the women from this and that household quarreling, one woman fighting another. He thought it was just her being gossipy, never imagining she’d also taken lessons!

Yang Qiwei sat on the ground, his chin broken, a tooth knocked out, his hands bruised. He cried out loudly from the pain: "Waaah... Mother! Wuu... Mother... "

All the adults moved quickly. Madam Liu ran to Ruo Xuan’s side: "Are you alright, Xuanbao?"

Ruo Xuan shook her head: "I’m fine, just in pain."

Hen Lan also rushed over, tenderly helping up her son. Seeing her son’s injured hand and the missing tooth, she became so angry she swung her hand at Ruo Xuan: "You little bitch, how dare you push my son?!"
