The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 327 - 323 Another Day Overwhelmed by the Scent of Flowers
Chapter 327: Chapter 323 Another Day Overwhelmed by the Scent of Flowers
Empress Dowager had barely stepped out of the palace gate when Xuanyuan Que emerged right behind her.
Shopkeeper Gu drove the horse carriage rapidly past the Empress Dowager’s carriage.
A gust of wind lifted the curtain of the Empress Dowager’s carriage, leaving her momentarily stupefied before asking Yuhua beside her, "Was that Xiaojiu’s carriage?"
Yuhua was just lifting the curtain to see whose brash carriage dared to overtake the Empress Dowager’s when she realized it was indeed the young master’s carriage.
That’s right, who else in the world would dare to be so presumptuous?
Not even The Emperor would dare!
No, that’s not right. It’s not that The Emperor doesn’t dare, it’s that he wouldn’t be so outrageously rebellious.
"Reporting to my lady, it is the young master’s carriage indeed!" Yuhua said.
Empress Dowager watched the carriage head straight for Wuyou Junzhu Mansion (Princess Wuyou’s Mansion) and shook her head, "Didn’t this boy say he wouldn’t leave the palace?"
Yuhua smiled and said, "The young master is all talk. When has he ever missed a visit to Princess Xuanbao?"
Yuhua wanted to say, when Empress Dowager calls the young master to meet with The Emperor, his father, if the young master says he won’t go, then he really won’t go! But if Empress Dowager summons the young master to meet Princess Xuanbao, then whether he says he will or won’t, he definitely will.
Xuanyuan Que didn’t want to go out either!
But that uncultured flower is so foolish!
He accidentally glanced to see what the flower was doing and realized she was about to get herself killed by her own stupidity.
How could he not go out?
She was foolish enough to get herself into the cocoon of a Millennium Silkworm Demon.
Doesn’t she know what it means to spin a cocoon around oneself?
A small flower with a hundred years of cultivation dares to confront the cocoon of a Millennium Silkworm Demon!
Isn’t this seeking death?
Xuanyuan Que rushed to Ruo Xuan’s courtyard, only to see a certain flower tightly bound by a gigantic cocoon, with just her little head sticking out, wriggling inside the cocoon in a most foolish manner!
Xuanyuan Que was so angered that he directly cursed, "Are you a pig?"
Ruo Xuan blinked and responded, "No, I’m not a pig! I’m a flower."
Having said that, Ruo Xuan shook the Millennium Silkworm Demon’s cocoon again.
It was so tight, it was almost suffocating her!
Xuanyuan Que almost couldn’t catch his breath!
He took a deep breath, as one day he feared this flower would annoy him enough to ascend on the spot!
Ruo Xuan was still inside the snow-white cocoon, rocking back and forth, swaying side to side!
She tried to approach Divine Lord Xuanyuan, but the giant cocoon was like a tumbler, no matter how much she rocked or swayed, it just wouldn’t fall over!
Ruo Xuan couldn’t even roll over to Xuanyuan Que’s side.
"Brother Xuanyuan, save me! I’m being strangled to death!" Ruo Xuan exclaimed as she vigorously moved her body—the snow-white weebles wobbled but wouldn’t fall down!
That sight was both foolish and adorable.
Xuanyuan Que, finding her silly appearance unbearable to watch, wondered whom to strangle if not this foolish flower.
He raised his hand, intending to rescue her.
Ruo Xuan quickly shouted, "Brother Xuanyuan, just loosen it a bit for me, that’s all. I still want to play."
As long as it wasn’t choking her to near death, it felt quite comfortable!
So much fun!
Xuanyuan Que’s rage dissipated just like that.
It was the kind of anger that went so deep, you didn’t know how to stay mad anymore!
He waved his hand and loosened it for her.
Ruo Xuan finally felt comfortable and then began to roll around in the Millennium Silkworm Demon’s cocoon, gleefully enjoying herself.
Xuanyuan Que couldn’t bear to watch, asking incredulously, "You crawled into it just to play?"
Ruo Xuan replied, "No, am I the kind of flower that doesn’t pursue knowledge? Empress Dowager’s birthday is coming up, and I wanted to draw a strand of Millennium Silkworm Silk to make a hundred-flower skincare face mask for her! A hundred-flower essence face mask enriched with Millennium Silkworm Silk can rejuvenate one’s appearance, making them look at least ten years younger!"
She recalled how she previously found a discarded cocoon from when a Millennium Silkworm Demon had metamorphosed and ascended. The face masks made from that kind of Millennium Silkworm Silk were extremely effective, so she wanted to extract a strand of silk from the cocoon for Empress Dowager, to make her look ten years younger.
Only, she had underestimated the power of this cocoon left behind after the Silkworm Demon’s ascension.
Xuanyuan Que gave her a glance, said nothing, and stepped forward to help her pull out a strand of silk from the Millennium Silkworm chrysalis, handing it to her.
Ruo Xuan took it, put it in her Qiankun Bag, and sweetly said, "Thank you, Brother Xuanyuan. As soon as the silkworm silk face mask is ready, I’ll let you try it first."
Xuanyuan Que: "..."
He should never have been so rash!
"No need, you can just use it for Grandmother. If it doesn’t turn back the years, I have no use for it."
Xuanyuan Que glanced at the flower playing joyously and walked over to a nearby armchair to sit down, taking out a book. He read while cultivating.
Ruo Xuan blurted out upon thinking of how Divine Lord Xuanyuan had lived for over ten thousand years: "You are the oldest, how can you not need it?"
Xuanyuan Que: "..."
Was this flower blind and trying to infuriate him?
Xuanyuan Que regretted coming out.
He lowered his head to read the book, deciding to ignore her.
After playing for a while longer, Ruo Xuan had had enough and said, "Brother Xuanyuan, I want to come out now."
Xuanyuan Que didn’t respond to her.
Ruo Xuan spoke again: "Brother Xuanyuan, I’m so tired, I want to get out."
Xuanyuan Que, without raising his head, waved his hand.
Ruo Xuan felt an instant relief, as the cocoon loosened around her, and then she crawled out of the huge pupa.
She sighed, "This pupa was discarded, how come its power is still so formidable?"
Xuanyuan Que snorted coldly, shooting her a look that urged her to figure it out on her own.
Didn’t she have any sense of her own strength compared to the strength of the silkworm demon?
A single millennium silkworm thread wasn’t an overexaggeration of her strength at all!
Ruo Xuan: "..."
Alright then!
The gulf between a hundred years of cultivation and a thousand years is like a chasm.
It’s not something you can cross just because you wish to.
Just like mortals cultivating to become immortals, it’s not something you can achieve merely because you cultivate.
Now she had lost her chance to become an immortal.
Xuanyuan Que, noticing her sudden dejection, was silent for a moment, "Do you feel like eating roast lamb leg?"
Ruo Xuan’s eyes brightened. Any sense of loss vanished. What did it matter if she couldn’t become an immortal? Being human was not bad either!
Look, how good it is to be able to eat!
"Yes!" Ruo Xuan said and sniffed, "Eh? Is the Demon Lord’s true form here? I’ll go check it out!"
Then she dashed off like a wisp of smoke.
Xuanyuan Que said indifferently: "Not going to eat the roast lamb leg?"
"I will, just after a bit."
Of course, she wanted to eat the roast lamb leg, but roast lamb leg could be eaten anytime!
If she wanted it, Divine Lord Xuanyuan would even roast it for her in the middle of the night.
But she hadn’t yet seen what the young Demon Lord looked like!
So right now, she just wanted to see the young Demon Lord’s appearance.
Seeing the young Demon Lord wasn’t something she could just do whenever she wanted!
Xuanyuan Que’s face darkened as he packed up his book and followed her out.
This ungrateful flower!
Ruo Xuan arrived in the courtyard and saw the Demon Lord’s true form.
A quiet little boy, sitting in a wooden wheelchair, completely motionless and lifeless, yet exceedingly handsome.
The little white dog, a form of the Demon Lord, was excitedly wagging its tail around his true form.
Ruo Xuan silently said to the little white dog: "Demon Lord, your human form is very beautiful! Even more handsome than Divine Lord Xuanyuan!"
She had seen the Demon Lord with black nails, black eyeshadow, black lips, and rouged cheeks, which looked frightening. She had not expected his human form to be so handsome!
The little white dog’s tail wagged even more enthusiastically, "Woof woof woof." [Of course! How could that hypocrite Xuanyuan Que compare to me!]
It even provocatively barked a few times in Xuanyuan Que’s direction, "Woof woof woof."[Did you hear that, Little Xuanhua said I look better than you!]
Xuanyuan Que looked at the dog indifferently: "She also said you’re as adorable as a pig-shaped dog."
Demon Lord: "..."
