I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

Sitting in the main seat, Bai Qingyu winked at Zhen Tian, ​​her eyes filled with anticipation.

She doesn't usually drink alcohol, but drinking can lead to mistakes. What if she gets drunk and suddenly reveals her true colors?

But today is a bit special, so having a little alcohol won't hurt.

Bai Qingyu still enjoys drinking, especially with friends. However, she doesn't have any friends, except for Zhen Tian, ​​who can be considered her best friend. So, on New Year's Eve, she naturally wants to have a good drink.

"Okay, but I don't know how much I can drink."

"It's alright, I'll just have a drink." Bai Qingyu said with a smile as she took out a jar of wine, which was the most expensive one.

After pouring the wine, Bai Qingyu went over and helped the stunned Xiaodie to her seat. "From now on, we're all family. Starting with today's meal, eat with confidence and don't look so sad. It's the New Year, we should be happy, don't you think?"

"These dishes were all made by my aunt herself. You can eat whichever one you like."

After saying that, seeing that the little girl still looked hesitant, Bai Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Xiaodie, look, you are so weak right now. Even if you want to help me with chores, you can't do much. Only by eating more now and getting better can you help me with chores in the future."

As expected, Xiaodie finally reacted upon hearing this, raising her head to look at Bai Qingyu nervously, "Really, really okay?"

"Of course, give it a try." He picked up a piece of braised pork and fed it to the little girl. The aroma was indeed irresistible, let alone for a girl like Xiaodie who rarely gets to eat meat all year round.

Seeing her eat the braised pork, her eyes narrowed with delight, Bai Qingyu patted her shoulder and sat back down in her seat.

It's normal for the young girl to be shy and anxious, after all, she's only been here for less than a day, and being treated so kindly all of a sudden makes her uneasy.

Seeing that Xiaodie was willing to eat, Bai Qingyu also tried the dishes she had made, and she could only say that they were indeed worthy of her.

"Come on, let's drink!" He picked up the wine bowl with great gusto, took a sip, and found that apart from the spiciness, there wasn't much other flavor. After all, it wasn't fruit wine. However, the wine was quite good, and at least it had a pure wine aroma.

Without hesitation, Zhen Tian picked up her bowl and drank with Bai Qingyu. It was the first time Yao Sheng had ever drunk alcohol, and she frowned after the first sip, but she could accept it. The taste was a bit strange, and she had never experienced this feeling before.

"Drinking alcohol can lead to getting drunk, and so can demons, so I usually don't dare to drink, for fear of messing things up. Today is a holiday, so I'll try what it feels like to get drunk."

After gulping down two more mouthfuls of wine, Bai Qingyu was starting to let loose, something she had never done before.

Xiaodie didn't dare to say much and was still reserved, but she did dare to pick up some food and eat, although she only dared to eat the braised pork in front of her.

Bowl after bowl of wine, Bai Qingyu didn't let Zhen Tian drink more, she drank a lot herself and got quite drunk. Helpless, Zhen Tian had no choice but to carry the already full Xiao Die back to the house, and then stay to take care of Bai Qingyu.

Those who drink too much will reveal their true form, like Bai Qingyu right now. Her hands have turned back into wings, and she is using her wings to hold the wine bowl and drink it in big gulps.

If I keep drinking like this, I might even reveal my true form.

"Alas, heavens! Life is too short for demons, so seize the day!"

"Those damned bastards shout 'Exorcise demons and monsters' whenever they see a demon. They're really despicable."

Bai Qingyu draped her arm over Zhen Tian's shoulder, her face flushed from drinking, her eyes glazed over, and her breath reeked of alcohol.

It's no wonder she got drunk. There was a whole jar of wine, and Zhen Tian herself didn't drink much of it. Bai Qingyu drank the rest. She didn't eat much of her food, just drank the wine. And then, amazingly, Bai Qingyu's belly didn't swell up much.

"When I have the strength, I will definitely go to Shenhua Mountain and tell them not to bully my son!"

"No one is allowed to bully my child, Bai Qingyu's child! Only I can bully him!"

"Seriously, why is your face so red? *hiccup*"

He leaned against Zhen Tian, ​​their faces almost touching.

"Is there no more alcohol?"

"Where's the wine?!"

Crack! The wine bowl shattered on the ground.

Bai Qingyu staggered into the courtyard after releasing Zhen Tian, ​​still calling Zhen Tian's name.

Zhen Tian shook his head helplessly, cleaned up the broken pieces on the ground, and hurriedly went outside. Then he saw Bai Qingyu dancing in the yard, even though it was still snowing there.

Standing at the doorway, watching Bai Qingyu's dance in the snow, to be honest, her dance was not professional at all, but who told her to be so beautiful? Being beautiful allows one to do whatever one wants, and even such amateurish dance moves looked graceful and elegant.

With a snowy background, it looked even more picturesque, and even Zhen Tian was stunned, staring at it in a daze.

She never expected that Bai Qingyu, after getting drunk, would not act crazy but would start dancing.

If Dongqing were here, she definitely wouldn't have let her stop Bai Qingyu, because there are very few opportunities to see Bai Qingyu dance. If she missed this one, she wouldn't get another chance. Besides, she couldn't tell Bai Qingyu after she sobered up, otherwise she definitely wouldn't drink next time.

Zhen Tian was so engrossed in watching that he didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly someone knocked on the door behind Bai Qingyu. Zhen Tian snapped out of his daze and, seeing that Bai Qingyu didn't seem to want to stop anytime soon, walked to the door and said, "You've already rested, please go back."

Judging from the voice of the person who came from outside, it was the man who rented the house to them, I think his name was Master Guo.

Zhen Tian had no idea where all these wealthy men came from, and she was too busy to entertain them.

"Please make sure to discuss this tomorrow."

"Miss Bai, I've come to deliver some things to you. It's a holiday, isn't it? Haha." Outside the door, Master Guo rubbed his hands together, with several servants beside him, who were indeed carrying gifts.

Delivering things in the middle of the night, especially to two "weak women," and bringing along several strong servants, made everyone as suspicious as Master Guo's smile.

"Please leave!" Zhen Tian's tone began to become impolite.

Zhen Tian's personality has always been gentle and mild. She has never killed a single person despite being hunted for so many years. But now her tone is stronger than she ever expected.

"Miss Bai..."

I said, "Please leave!"

Outside the door, Master Guo's smile froze, his fat face narrowed, and he said no more. Instead, he gestured to the servants behind him. Seeing this gesture, one of the servants nodded, stood by the wall, spat on his hands, rubbed them together, and jumped up to grab the wall.

Since they won't open the door, let's just climb over it. Two weak women can't possibly stop a grown man like him.

Zhen Tian noticed that someone was even trying to flip over, and he was very impatient. These people were really annoying.

With a wave of his hand, a wooden stick flew up from the courtyard. Zhen Tian controlled the stick to fly towards the top of the wall, and just as the servant was about to look up, he swung the stick hard, smashing it into pieces. The servant who was hit was also in a bad way, and he fainted with a howl.

Master Guo's eyes widened, clearly flustered. "Quickly, all of you attack! I refuse to believe it!"

"Yes, sir!"

The remaining three servants put down what they were carrying and prepared to climb over the wall, but they met the same fate as the first servant. They were knocked unconscious with a stick as soon as they peeked out. The force of that blow was definitely not that of an ordinary person.

Now Master Guo was truly terrified and ran away, abandoning his servants.

In the courtyard, after Zhen Tian finished disciplining these people, he hurriedly turned around and found that Bai Qingyu had stopped jumping. She staggered into her room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep immediately.

Click!

She snapped the wooden stick in Zhentian's hand with force.

It's safe to say she's never been this angry in her life, not even when she discovered Li Zhou had been deceiving her all along.

The next morning, Bai Qingyu suddenly sat up in bed.

After a night's rest, the effects of the alcohol had long since worn off. In fact, the alcohol didn't have a significant impact on her; she could sober up in a second if she wanted to. However, she had deliberately suppressed her demonic power last night, so she became dizzy and confused as she drank.

Now that she's sober, the memories are flooding back. The events of last night, after she got drunk, are playing back in her mind like a videotape. Especially when she inexplicably starts dancing awkwardly, Bai Qingyu really can't hold back anymore.

It's fine to complain about this and that while hugging Zhentian, but why does she know how to dance?!

Not to mention she had never studied dancing, she had never even thought about it before. How could she possibly go dancing while drunk? Oh no, she's made a complete fool of herself.

Fortunately, there was no video recording, otherwise this embarrassing history would have been impossible to erase.

After drinking so much alcohol for the first time, Bai Qingyu made up her mind to quit drinking it no matter what, and never drink it again!

After tidying up, Bai Qingyu went outside and saw Zhen Tian, ​​looking embarrassed.

"Um, Makoto, last night..."

"Sister Bai dances very well," Zhen Tian said with a smile.

"Ahhh, forget it already!"

Rushing over, Bai Qingyu grabbed Zhen Tian's shoulders and shook him. All Bai Qingyu could say now was regret, deep regret. She shouldn't have drunk that wine; she should have just eaten the food properly.

Amidst their playful banter, Bai Qingyu wanted to tidy up the stall from yesterday, only to find that Zhen Tian had already cleaned it up. It was a pity about the half-pot of dumplings; Bai Qingyu had made them herself but hadn't eaten a single one.

"Sister, when are we leaving?" Zhen Tian asked softly, standing behind Bai Qingyu.

"what happened?"

“I don’t think this place is very good, especially for the people living around here.” When she said this, Zhen Tian’s expression was very serious.

Since what happened last night, she has changed her mind somewhat.

Perhaps being overly gentle is not a good thing.

Some people have to be tougher.

Volume 1: Chapter 75 Am I the Demon King's Mother?

Bai Qingyu had always wanted Zhen Tian to change his mind. Blindly appeasing him would only bring endless trouble; if others saw he didn't fight back, they would think he was easy to bully and would take advantage of him even more. Even if he didn't want to kill, he should at least teach him a lesson.

When she had free time, she chatted with Zhen Tian about this matter, but her attempts to persuade him were not very effective. Bai Qingyu was even considering giving up at one point. There was nothing she could do; that's just Zhen Tian's personality.

So she never expected that such an embarrassing incident would cause Zhen Tian to change, making her realize that some people really need to be taught a lesson.

Therefore, for the first time, Zhen Tian wanted to leave a place on his own initiative. Bai Qing thought about it and decided to leave in seven days.

These seven days are for Xiaodie to get used to living with me.

Humans are very adaptable, but the problem is that she has always been timid and hesitant since childhood. Her impoverished life has made her feel anxious and fearful about everything around her, because she has never enjoyed such a life.

In the following days, Bai Qingyu kept in touch with Xiaodie and took out the remaining herbs he had to help improve her constitution. The girl's constitution was really too poor, and Bai Qingyu didn't know how she had survived.

It's a miracle that they've managed to hold on until now.

As time went by, the initial fear and anxiety gave way to the current cautiousness.

It can be said that Xiaodie's situation was much more complicated than Zhentian's at the time. After exchanging a few words with Zhentian, Zhentian was willing to go together. Then, they gained each other's trust in the little things in life, and everything fell into place naturally.

As for Xiaodie, if you give her a little benefit, you have to make her do something, otherwise she will be extremely uneasy and even ask Bai Qingyu to make her do chores.

It has to be said that this child is very pitiful. He is so sensible at the age of eight, when he should still be innocent and ignorant.

Life forced her to grow up and become sensible.

It's not just her, the whole world is like this.

How can someone be bought and then not do any work in their home?

Boys bought into servitude were made into laborers, and girls were made into maids, some even worse off. Someone like Xiaodie, for example, was simply unwanted; she was too young and looked sickly. If they couldn't work, who would want to buy them?
