Chapter 219 Unrepentant Appeal (3)
Wei Wuxian is a very kind child. He would share his cultivation insights with Meng Yao when he had free time, and ask Wangyou if he didn't understand something.
Meng Yao's talent for cultivation was actually quite good; he cultivated spiritual power in just three days. Wang You gave him a storage bag, saying, "There's a 500-square-meter space here. I've put some of the ingredients in here; you can take them out to cook from now on."
"Thank you, Miss." Meng Yao was surprised to receive such a large storage bag. After happily claiming it as her own, she hung it on her waist.
Before leaving Yunping City, Meng Yao paid his respects to his mother, and then set off with Wangyou and Wei Wuxian.
With someone who could cook, Wangyou stopped being so attached to the snacks on the street. Mengyao was like a treasure trove, as she could cook quite a few things. However, all the food Wangyou brought out was spiritual food, and the two of them benefited a lot from it.
When Meng Yao was cooking, Wei Wuxian would also help.
Sometimes Wangyou would find the boys' strange friendships odd, but the two got along well, and Meng Yao even acted as if Wei Wuxian was the leader, which was really hard to watch.
"Yunmeng is indeed full of lotus flowers, and these lotus seeds taste so good." Wangyou was only focused on eating what was readily available, and completely ignored the two people peeling lotus seeds.
Wei Wuxian and Meng Yao were speechless, but they were enjoying peeling the skin.
Suddenly, a vibration came from underwater. Wangyou clung to the edge of the boat and looked down, only to see a black expanse.
"There are evil spirits underwater, you two be careful!" As soon as Wangyou finished speaking, Wei Wuxian pulled her behind him.
The two men, swords in hand, were ready for battle.
"It's not that serious, just a little evil spirit. Sit down!" Wangyou walked around the two of them and sat back down in her original seat. She reached out and picked a lotus seedpod and peeled it herself. Why didn't she pick it herself? She had paid for it.
The two remained unmoved, standing on either side of Wangyou, like the two guardian generals.
"You two hurry up and peel the lotus seeds for me, your hands hurt from peeling them twice," Wangyou said irritably, looking at her red fingertips.
The two remained vigilant for a while, but found nothing, so they obediently sat down and continued peeling lotus seeds.
Wangyou thought about it and realized that it wasn't good for evil spirits to roam around everywhere. If the underworld wasn't open, the evil spirits would have nowhere to go. Suddenly, Wangyou thought of the Soul-Binding Lamp, which was a good thing for collecting souls. Although she didn't have one, she could create a 2.0 version.
Without further ado, Wangyou clapped her hands and said, "You two don't bother me, I'm going to refine something."
"it is good."
Wangyou picked out a bunch of materials from her spatial storage, then used the void as a cauldron to begin refining the artifact. One by one, the materials were refined, and finally, a lamp-shaped spiritual artifact was formed.
"Wangyou, what's the use of this?" Wei Wuxian asked curiously, looking at the magical artifact in Wangyou's hand.
"It's specially designed to catch evil spirits. Let me test it out to see if it works!" Wangyou gently raised her hand and directly pulled out two or three evil spirits from the bottom of the lake, then put them into the lamp.
"It's alright. We can perform a ritual to help the spirits pass on when we collect more evil spirits in the future!" Wangyou put the lamp away.
"sharp."
"Of course."
"Big brother, second sister, let's dig some lotus roots, we can make lotus root and pork rib soup when we get back," Meng Yao said with a smile.
“That makes sense.” Then, in addition to lotus pods, the three of them also dug up a lot of lotus roots.
"I saw pomelos for sale at the market when I came here, Yao, do you know how to make pomelo candy?"
"Pomelo candy? Second sister, do you know how it's made?" This was the first time Meng Yao had ever heard of pomelos being made into candy.
"I know, I'll tell you when we get back."
“Okay, as long as Second Sister says so, I can make it.” Meng Yao said with a grin.
The three returned home laden with their spoils, and that night was another night of eating until they were stuffed.
The next day, the three of them went shopping together and each bought some necessities for the rest of their trip.
"Wei Ying!"
"A-Xian, why is someone calling you? Do you know that person?" Wangyou looked in the direction of the voice.
"Wei Ying, it really is you. I've been looking for you all this time."
"Uncle Jiang." Wei Ying looked at his parents' friend, the head of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, and was also somewhat excited.
Unable to refuse Jiang Fengmian's hospitality, Wangyou and the other two followed him to Lotus Pier.
“Zi Yuan, this is Brother Wei’s child, Wei Ying.”
"You found him." Yu Ziyuan's expression was unpleasant. She looked at Jiang Fengmian with resentment in her eyes, and at Wei Ying with disgust.
Wangyou frowned, stepped forward and pulled Wei Wuxian behind her. Although Wei Ying was considered a little good-for-nothing in her eyes, why should she glare at the person she picked up?
"Madam, why do you look at my A-Xian with such disgust? What has my A-Xian done to offend you? We came here because your husband repeatedly invited us, so we came to see you. A-Xian, let's go. If you're not welcome, why did you have to invite us?" Wangyou raised her other hand, grabbed Meng Yao's wrist, and walked out.
"Ah Xian, I'm sorry, your Aunt Yu didn't mean it. She just had a misunderstanding," Jiang Fengmian said shyly as he chased after her.
"Uncle Jiang, I'm alright!" Wei Wuxian no longer felt the joy of reuniting with an old friend.
"Uncle Jiang, misunderstandings should be cleared up. Why should my A-Xian suffer? Since you love each other, why don't you explain things clearly? Also, thank you for your kindness, Uncle Jiang. We'll be leaving now." Wangyou didn't say anything too harsh, considering that Jiang Fengmian was genuinely fond of Wei Wuxian.
"Brother, don't be sad. We're happy as long as we're together," Meng Yao comforted Wei Wuxian tenderly.
"You're right, I just can't understand why she hates me so much." Wei Wuxian quickly recovered.
"I guess it's a grudge from the previous generation. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us now. I've heard that Jinling is extremely rich. Let's go to Jinling next!" Wangyou said with a smile.
"Okay!" Under the setting sun, the three children's legs stretched out exceptionally long.
Jiang Fengmian didn't chase after them. The little girl was right; it's better to clear up misunderstandings. A-Xian should be at that little girl's house now, which is fine.
When Jiang Fengmian had someone find out which inn the three were staying at and went to chase after them, he found that they had already left.
As soon as the three of them stepped into Jinling, they heard nothing else but a scandalous affair of the Jin family patriarch.
"I heard that the illegitimate child was thrown off Jinling Terrace and died on the spot."
"The Lanling Jin Clan has only one heir, and that is Young Master Jin Zixuan. Everyone else is nothing."
Hearing the passerby's words made Meng Yao feel both lingering fear and a sense of relief.
“孟瑶，你要是还想认，那就好好修炼，到时候一巴掌把那不负责任的男人抽下来，我觉得你娘比起让你认下他，更想让你揍他一顿出气。”忘忧不觉得一个身在青楼还将自己的孩子教养的懂事知礼的女主会是什么恋爱脑。
However, since prostitutes can give birth, it's possible she was trying to take a gamble, but clearly she failed.
"I don't want to acknowledge him anymore. I only wanted to have a father back then because I wanted someone to care about me. Now I have my older brother and second sister, and I'm very content." Meng Yao smiled, her little face full of relief.
"That's good!" Seeing that Meng Yao wasn't getting stuck on the issue, Wangyou didn't say anything more.
