Chapter 355: Chapter 344: Even I’m Starting to Believe

Ms.Qian stared intently into Manbao’s eyes, confirming, "He said I have the merit of raising a fairy child, who could that be but you? This is my devotion, so Manbao, you must also be devout towards the Heaven Master, for everything to go smoothly and peacefully for you in the future."

Before Manbao could speak, Zhou Sanlang repeatedly nodded and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, the Abbot Shouqing mentioned this, Manbao, it turns out you are a reincarnated fairy, no wonder you’re so intelligent, smarter than Dad, no, smarter than both our parents..."

Manbao: ...These were not the words of the Abbot Shouqing; clearly, they were her own mother’s words!

Moreover, her mother’s improved health wasn’t solely the blessing of Heaven Master—wait, perhaps there was some blessing, but wasn’t the most direct reason the medicine she had bought?

But as soon as Manbao lifted her head, she met her mother’s stern gaze and instinctively nodded.

Only then did Ms.Qian show a smile, embracing her and saying, "Good child, you must remember to always venerate the Heaven Master."

Manbao nodded hesitantly.

Ms.Qian then embraced her daughter, revealing a beaming smile.

Zhou Sanlang, pushing the cart behind them, was oblivious and jubilantly said, "Exactly, exactly, Manbao must venerate the Heaven Master, we all should too. Mother, you’re amazing to have dreamt of the Heaven Master, and Manbao is even more incredible, originally she’s a reincarnation of a fairy..."

Ms.Qian turned and smiled at Zhou Sanlang, nodding in agreement, "Indeed, Manbao is much more intelligent than an ordinary child. Look at Datou; he’s already four and is just beginning to speak clearly. Manbao could recite the Thousand Character Classic by the time she was four."

Zhou Sanlang nodded in agreement, but he didn’t think his son was slow; he just thought his young sister was exceptionally intelligent.

In the village, there were numerous four or five-year-olds who still couldn’t speak clearly.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Sanlang paused to ask, "Mother, should we invite the old doctor for a consultation?"

"No need, the medical skills of the Abbot Shouqing are excellent, and besides, with a divine dream, the monks are usually more knowledgeable than doctors," Ms.Qian said. "We’d better spend the money on some meat instead."

Manbao immediately chimed in, "Yes, let’s go buy some meat!"

Ms.Qian stroked her head and did not refuse.

Ms.Qian took out money, instructing Zhou Sanlang to turn towards the market to buy meat, while she and Manbao waited on the cart.

As soon as Zhou Sanlang left, Ms.Qian quietly asked Manbao, "Manbao, can I meet that friend of yours?"

Manbao shook her head, "Mother can’t see, nor meet her."

Ms.Qian didn’t press the matter and whispered fervently, "Alright, your mother won’t meet her. And you shouldn’t tell anyone else, okay? That includes not mentioning it to your sister-in-law either."

Manbao covered her mouth, nodding and replying in a low voice, "I haven’t told anyone, not even mother."

Ms.Qian: ...

A moment passed before she finally said, "Right, mother shouldn’t tell either, mother doesn’t know anything."

Manbao’s anxiety completely eased, and she began to concern herself with her mother’s health, feeling her pulse, and touching her hands and feet, asking, "Mother, do you feel unwell after taking the medicine?"

Ms.Qian replied, "I feel alright now, but at night when I’m trying to sleep, there’s this indescribable itchiness in my bones, not incredibly uncomfortable but still distressing."

And she was getting hungry quickly.

Ms.Qian had already eaten quite a bit that morning, but by this time, she was hungry again.

Ms.Qian was a bit worried, "Manbao, my appetite won’t stay this good, will it?"

Manbao confidently responded, "No, it won’t, once your health improves, so will your appetite."

She had already consulted with Keke about this the previous night; after taking the medicine, the body would undergo adjustments, not miraculously heal instantly as Manbao had thought.

As it repaired the body, it also accelerated metabolism, requiring a substantial intake of energy.

Keke said that the duration of this process would vary from person to person.

In the future, it was said, individuals with strong constitutions would complete the healing in just one night, while those with weaker bodies would take about three days.

Manbao thought that given her mother’s poor health, three days would be reasonable.

But the situation turned out to be quite different from what she had expected.

After returning home that day, Ms.Qian endured her hunger and sat under the village’s banyan tree. By evening, the whole village knew her health had improved, and it was all thanks to Manbao’s blessing.

The most widespread story was the dream Ms.Qian had.

Some immediately believed it, but most were skeptical. Even though Manbao was intelligent and adorable, the notion that she was the reincarnation of a fairy was met with doubt.

Even Old Zhou of the Zhou family was skeptical of his wife’s assertion, thinking it plausible that long-term illness might lead to such dreams at night.

Yes, Old Zhou did not doubt that his wife had the dream. To him, dreams were inherently unrealistic; he even had dreams of being a wealthy tycoon, but was it not still a worry to secure two meals a day?

Yet it seemed Ms.Qian truly was getting better.

She once suffered from coughs, but eventually, she stopped coughing and started to eat more and more.

Normally, the adults at home only had two meals a day, while the growing children would have some thin porridge in the afternoon.

Now, she was eating three meals a day like the children and was still hungry, occasionally asking Junior Ms.Qian to cook a few pancakes.

If not for certain concerns, Old Zhou almost suspected she was pregnant like Third’s and Four’s wives.

Her increased appetite was not the only change; Ms.Qian also no longer stayed indoors all day. She started by herding the chickens outside for bugs with Datou, then joined her daughters-in-law in harvesting vegetables from the garden for drying and storage.

That wasn’t all; she led the group in reorganizing the vegetable patch, intending to try growing greens during winter.

The vegetable garden was right there, hard for passersby to miss, so everyone knew Ms.Qian’s health was truly improving day by day.

But their experience could not compare to the Zhou’s, mainly because Ms.Qian no longer wanted to drink the medicine.

The twice-daily dose of medicine, never skipped even in hard times, now ceased, yet she didn’t feel breathless or faint, and her appetite didn’t worsen.

Now the Zhou family was sure—Ms.Qian had truly recovered.

Then Old Zhou looked at his young daughter in astonishment, "Wow, I seem to have raised a fairy."

The brothers of the Zhou family were equally surprised as they looked at Manbao.

Even Manbao herself began to doubt, so she posed a question to Keke, "Keke, did you choose me as a host because I was a fairy in my past life?"

Keke: "...No, host, I cannot see your past life, and whether humans have a past life is still an unresolved question. I chose you for your intelligence."

"Because I am a fairy, that’s why I’m so smart, and that’s why you chose me?"

Keke felt this was a dangerous line of thinking and cautioned, "Host, feudal superstitious thoughts and behaviors will lower human intelligence. Please think rationally, host."

Manbao sighed, "That’s true. If I, the smartest child within a hundred miles, am a fairy, what then is Shanbao, who is just a little smarter than me? And this world is so vast, certainly, there are many people smarter than me within any given hundred-mile radius."

Keke breathed a sigh of relief.
