Today was Hua Qiangu's 15th birthday. As usual, she went to the mountaintop to practice her swordsmanship under a tree. Her every move was cold and windy, and she had the same elegance as Shaoyue when she was practicing her swordsmanship. After he was done, Hua Qiangu put away his wooden sword and looked at the scenery below. Hualien Village was surrounded by lush mountains, like a paradise isolated from the world. Seeing this, Hua Qiangu was in a good mood as he shouted from the top of the mountain. The echo lingered in the valley for a long time.
Seeing that it was already noon, Hua Qiangu hurried down the mountain to go home. As he walked, he complained,"" Sister Yue, it's my birthday today, but she said that she had something to do. She left me alone on the mountain to practice my swordsmanship and didn't even come to accompany me." Thinking of this, Hua Qiangu paused." Did Sister Yue forget about my birthday?"! No, I have to go back quickly and see if Sister Yue is back.”With that, Hua Qiangu jogged down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, a few stones suddenly flew towards Hua Qiangu. Hua Qiangu sensed it and twisted her body to pull out her wooden sword. With a few slaps, the stones were all knocked away by her. Hua Qiangu looked around the forest and said unhappily,""Why are you hiding? Come out if you have the ability.”
At this moment, four or five men who were around Hua Qiangu's age walked out from the forest. They were all villagers of Lotus Village. When they saw Hua Qiangu coming down, they wanted to play a prank on him. However, they did not expect Hua Qiangu to block all the stones they threw. The leader looked at Hua Qiangu with disdain." Hmph, you monster. You must have used a demonic technique to block our stones.”The few people beside him echoed," That's right, it must be a demonic technique.”"Hua Qiangu is a monster!"
Hua Qiangu gripped his wooden sword tightly. She was born with a unique fragrance that easily provoked demons and devils. It turned out that it was not too obvious. However, in recent years, it seemed that more and more demons were attracted to her, so the villagers all regarded her as a demon. Thinking of Shaoyue's teachings, Hua Qiangu ignored them and walked forward. She just wanted to go home and see Shaoyue.
The villagers looked at each other and took out the fishing net that they had prepared beforehand. They covered Hua Qiangu's body. As Hua Qiangu was very concerned about others calling her a demon and only wanted to leave as soon as possible, she was caught off guard and was caught by them.
The villagers grabbed Hua Qiangu and gathered around her, cursing happily. Hua Qiangu pursed his lips tightly as he looked at the wooden sword in his hand and thought of Shao Yue.
"Little Gu, you have to remember that I'm not teaching you swordsmanship to fight for power, but to protect yourself and the people you care about.”
Hua Qiangu nodded." I'll listen to Sister Yue." She raised the wooden sword in her hand." I'll use it to protect Father and Sister Yue!"”
"You have to protect yourself first, understand?" Shao Yue smiled.”
"Good!" Hua Qiangu replied obediently.
At this moment, Hua Qiangu was angry and sad at the villagers 'difficulties, but he could not bear to hurt them. After all, they were all villagers of the same village. Therefore, Hua Qiangu could only endure. Once they left, she could go home. However, the villagers insulted her Sister Yue. She could not forgive them. She raised her wooden sword again.
The villagers stopped when they saw that Hua Qiangu did not react. The man in the lead saw that she was only looking at the wooden sword in his hand and remembered that Shaoyue had made it for her, so he said arrogantly,""Hua Qiangu, I think you are a monster. Then, that Physician Yue beside you is also a monster, right? She was like that when we were young. Now, more than ten years have passed, and she hasn't changed at all. Tell me, is she also a monster?”After saying that, he laughed out loud.
Hua Qiangu finally couldn't take it anymore." You're not allowed to talk about Sister Yue!”
Seeing that Hua Qiangu had been angered, the leading villager spoke even more enthusiastically," Let's just say that Physician Yue is a demon, a demon that won't grow old…"
"Sister Yue is an immortal, an Exalted Immortal. She's not a monster!”Hua Qiangu retorted loudly.
"If she's an Exalted Immortal, why would she stay in the village for more than ten years? Aren't immortals very busy killing demons and devils? Why is she always staying in your monster's house? I think she's a monster like you!”WWw.5Wx.ORG
"I won't let you off!" Hua Qiangui said angrily. The hand that was holding the sword trembled slightly. She raised the sword and tore the net that was covering her into pieces with a few sword moves.
Seeing this, the leader of the villagers gathered his courage and said,"Hua Qiangu, my father is the village chief. If you dare to touch me, I will tell my father and have him chase you out of Hualien Village!”
Hua Qiangu turned a deaf ear and walked towards the leader of the villagers with his wooden sword. When the villagers saw Hua Qiangu approaching them with a fierce look, they fled in fear. However, Hua Qiangu did not give them the chance to escape. In a flash, he appeared in front of a villager and slashed with his sword. The other person fell to the ground in pain. The others were not spared. Hua Qiangu turned around and pointed his sword at the villagers lying on the ground." If you dare to speak ill of Sister Yue again, I, Hua Qiangu, will not forgive you!”
In the Hua family, Hua Xiucai looked at Shao Yue busying herself in the small bone room and advised,"Exalted Immortal, this isn't Little Gu's first birthday, you don't have to clean up her room.”
"Uncle Hua, you don't understand. I'm not tidying up the room, I'm decorating it.”Shao Yue corrected.
"What's the difference?" asked Hua Xiucai, puzzled.”
"You'll know when the time comes. Quick, help me bring the flowers I picked on the mountain just now.”Shaoyue pointed at the basket on the table.
Although Hua Xiu Cai did not know what Shao Yue was planning, he was more than happy to help as this was Xiao Gu's birthday celebration. It did not take long for Little Gu's room to be decorated. The roof was decorated with green vines and there was a vine hanging from each corner of the room. Each vine had a pot of flowers hanging from it. There were even some vines that were wrapped around the beams of the room that had a few flowers blooming. It looked especially lively and made one feel at ease. All the vines gathered towards the center of the room. In the middle of it hung a round ball, and within it were the petals that Shao Yue had picked. Shaoyue nodded her head in satisfaction." Uncle Hua, let's go and see if the things in the kitchen are ready.”
In the kitchen, Shaoyue opened the steamer. Hua Xiucai asked curiously,""Exalted Immortal, what is this? Pastries? Isn't it a little big?"
"There's no cream here, so this is the best we can do. Uncle Hua, let's bring the food to Little Gu's room.”The two of them busied themselves for another fifteen minutes before they were finally done.
Shao Yue looked at the sky outside." Little Gu should be back by now.”
"That's right, Little Gu would have been back long ago. Why is he a little late today?”Hua Xiucai asked curiously.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the door. Hua Xiucai said,""It must be Little Gu. I'll go take a look.”He walked out after he finished speaking. When he saw Hua Qiangu covered in dust, he exclaimed,""Little Gu, what happened to you?”
When Shaoyue heard that something was wrong, she immediately came out and saw that Hua Qiangu's clothes were slightly dirty. She had her head lowered, so Shaoyue could not see her expression clearly." Little Gu…"
When Hua Qiangu heard Shao Yue's voice, she raised her head and looked at the spotless white-robed woman in front of her. However, because of her, the villagers had called her a monster. She was very unwilling and felt very uncomfortable.
"Little Gu, what's wrong?" Shao Yue could tell that something was wrong with Hua Qiangu. She stepped forward to help her pat the dust off her clothes and said gently," Did you suffer some grievances?”
Hua Qiangu could not help but bury himself in Shao Yue's embrace and cry when he heard Shao Yue's concern for him. Shao Yue did not continue asking and only kept caressing her back to make her feel better. Hua Xiucai saw this and knew that the villagers must have said something, but he didn't know how to comfort Xiaogu. He could only quietly accompany her.
Seeing that Hua Qiangu was no longer crying, Shao Yue said,"Little Gu, today is your birthday. Don't cry anymore.”
Hua Qiangu raised his head. Seeing that her eyes were red, Shaoyue could not help but reach out to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Hua Qiangu looked at Shaoyue and said,"Sister Yue, am I a monster?"
Shao Yue's hand, which was wiping, paused. She looked at Hua Qiangu and said,"How could that be? Little Gu is not a monster.”
" But…" Hua Qiangu said softly.
"Little Gu, is that person your friend?" Shao Yue interrupted.”
"No…"
"Is that the person you like?"
Hua Qiangu shook his head." Of course not!”
"Is that the person you care about?"
"No, why did Sister Yue ask this?”Hua Qiangu was puzzled.
"Little Gu, you don't have to mind what they say.”Shao Yue said.
" But they said that Sister Yue…" Hua Qiangu was furious when she thought about what they said. However, she did not want Sister Yue to know about it as she was afraid that she would be sad.
"If that's the case, then there's no need to mind it, because I only care about the opinions of the people I care about.”Shaoyue said seriously.
" The person you care about, then…Sister Yue…the person you care about…" Hua Qiangu wanted to ask, but she did not dare to. She was afraid that the answer she heard would be the opposite of what she expected.
Shao Yue saw through her thoughts and patted her head."Little Gu, of course. Little Gu is someone I care about.”
"Really?" Hua Qiangu said happily," Sister Yue is the person I care about the most!”
Shaoyue smiled and looked at Hua Xiucai beside her." Then Uncle Hua will be sad."”
"Father is also the person I care about the most!" Hua Qiangu quickly said to Hua Xiucai.”
"Haha…Little Gu, daddy knows everything.”Hua Xiucai understood what Hua Qiangu meant.
Hua Qiangu finally laughed, and Shaoyue was relieved." Alright, Little Gu, let's go in and eat."”
Hua Xiucai then remembered that Shaoyue had prepared for her birthday and hurriedly said,""Little Gu, the Exalted Immortal has been busy the whole day for your birthday and even cooked for you personally. If you don't go in now, the food will get cold.”
Hua Qiangu looked at Shao Yue in surprise. So Sister Yue had not forgotten her birthday. Shao Yue was a little embarrassed by Hua Qiangu's stare and turned to walk into the house. Hua Qiangu chuckled and went forward to hold Shao Yue's hand. They walked in together, and Shao Yue let her be, the corners of his mouth curling up.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Hua Qiangu exclaimed,""Sister Yue, you're so amazing. The food smells so good. And what's the round pancake in the middle? Why is my name on it?"
"This is a cake. In my hometown, it's used to celebrate birthdays and make wishes.”Shao Yue introduced.
"How can I make a wish?”
" Of course it works. You have to put your hands together like this." Shaoyue demonstrated as she said," After you make your wish, you can blow out the candle. Remember to blow it out in one breath.”
Hua Qiangu imitated Shao Yue's actions and made a wish."I hope I can live happily with sister Yue and father forever.”He blew out the candle in one breath and asked,"" Sister Yue, you've never celebrated my birthday as grandly as today. Why is it this year…"
Shao Yue smiled but did not reply. Instead, she flicked her finger upwards and the ball in the middle of the roof opened up. The petals inside scattered and Shao Yue used her celestial spiritual energy to float the petals around the room. Hua Qiangu looked at the room full of petals, and as he spun, he caught the petals with his hand." It's so beautiful. Thank you, Sister Yue, hehe…"
Shao Yue looked at Hua Qiangu, who was enjoying himself amidst the petals, and thought,'This might be the last birthday I'll be spending with you.
