Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"No problem, but if Miss Yun wants me to be her sworn brother, she might not be able to bring herself to ask. Next time, I'll see when the time is right and shamelessly bring it up!

By the way, Madam Jiang doesn't even know my date of birth, so why did you conclude that we are brother and sister, not sister and brother?"

Mrs. Jiang really didn't know Chu Wuzhi's birth date, but she felt that he should be a little older than her daughter, even one day older was still older.

The beautiful woman seemed to have something to hide. After careful consideration, she felt that she should not hide it, so she confessed:

"This is actually my selfish motive. Qingying originally had a biological brother, but he died before he was weaned... I, I don't want you to take his place, Wuji, it's just..."

Mrs. Jiang suddenly stuttered, not knowing how to explain herself.

Chu Wuji roughly understood what it meant, and without asking about other people's family affairs, he agreed immediately:

"It's okay. I know Madam Jiang has no ill intentions. I will try to talk to Miss Yun later, but if she refuses, I won't force her."

The beautiful woman was still a little panicked and nervous, but when she saw Chu Wuji's calm expression, she calmed down as well.

While I was calm, I also felt a bit depressed and helpless.

There really wasn't much fault to be found in the way Chu Wuji handled things, and he was very likable to women. He was thorough and flawless, but at the same time, people felt that it was impossible to get close to him, as if there was always something between them.

She knew that some people were like this, very polite and enthusiastic, but they would not cross the line and ask about things beyond etiquette. They were so polite that it made people feel that they were always guests to each other, and would become strangers in the blink of an eye.

Without saying a word, the color of the fabric somewhere on Mrs. Jiang's chest suddenly darkened, as if it had just been stained by stream water.

Chu Wuji was quite sensitive to smells and inexplicably smelled a sweet and rich frankincense. He looked around and suddenly discovered the source, and his face froze.

Mrs. Jiang was immersed in a faint helplessness and was completely unaware.

Chu Wuji reminded: "Ahem... Madam Jiang, are you feeling unwell?"

Mrs. Jiang didn't react at first. She smelled a familiar scent and looked down. Her mature and elegant face immediately turned red, and she felt shy and embarrassed.

The bright and beautiful woman with a rosy face turned around, bit her lip with silver teeth, and explained:

"It's an old problem. I asked someone before, and they said I was still thinking about that child crying and starving somewhere, and I never stopped breastfeeding him."

Chu Wuji didn't know what to say, so he comforted her like a supporting actor:

"It's human nature, I can understand it."

Mrs. Jiang listened to his polite words, and suddenly her mind got hot. She turned around and said earnestly:

"Wu Ji, I don't need you to treat me in any way, but... I hope you can treat Qingying like your own sister, not so politely, which will easily alienate our fate. We can argue and joke as we please."

Having said that, the beautiful woman made up her mind. She moved closer to Chu Wu Ji and held the juicy, round fruit in front of Chu Wu Ji.

"Take a bite. From now on, you and her will be as close as brother and sister. Don't be so cold and indifferent anymore, okay?"

Chapter 75: Plan to Leave the Nest

Chu Wuji was stunned, unable to react to what was happening. To have reached this point, was it a bit... ?

However, although Mrs. Jiang was so "presumptuous", her attitude seemed firm, but her momentum was not strong at all. She looked embarrassed and ashamed, her body trembled slightly, and she almost ran away in shame.

Chu Wuji knew that he shouldn't be stunned, otherwise Mrs. Jiang would probably jump to the other side of the river to find the hanged man to talk about the hardships of life.

"Then... thank you for the hospitality, Madam Jiang?"

Chu Wuji, who had just eaten two big buns, soon had another snack and ate the unique-tasting warm soup buns.

The beautiful woman's face turned even redder, but when she saw the big boy in her arms, the huge rock in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Jiang felt a little subtle. Her eyebrows were wrinkled from time to time, and her lips were pursed as if she was enduring something. She had an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Just looking at Chu Wuji's frosty white hair, Mrs. Jiang felt distressed. She carefully tried to touch it with her hand. Seeing that Chu Wuji did not dislike her, she felt at ease and hugged him in her arms.

"Wu Ji, can your hair grow back in the future?"

"Yes, it's harvested in autumn and stored in winter. New black hair should grow tomorrow when spring comes."

Chu Wuji didn't care much about his hair. He lived in this kind of woods all day long and didn't care about other people's eyes. He was not afraid that it would affect his pursuit of girls. He had no such need.

It used to be a panda color with white, black and white stripes, but now it is almost completely white. It will definitely grow back through metabolism.

What he regretted most was that there were no panda-eating beasts here, otherwise he would have to go over and get close to them, pretending to be a panda spirit.

Mrs. Jiang saw that Chu Wuji had stopped eating while chatting, so she begged:

"Eat a few more bites. Autumn harvest is for winter storage, and now is the autumn harvest season, you need to absorb some nutrients."

"I'm full."

“But I’m still a little bloated…”

Mrs. Jiang looked at him with a sense of grievance. This kind of non-coercive attitude sometimes made it even more difficult for people to refuse, and they couldn't even say the words of refusal.

Chu Wuzhi buried his head in eating breakfast for a long time. Mrs. Jiang looked at him with satisfaction and relief. She stroked the young man's hair with her delicate hands, wishing it would turn back to its shiny black color immediately.

"Wu Ji, why do you always seem to be so distant, not aloof?"

Hearing this, Chu Wuji looked back at himself. He didn't feel that he was deliberately distancing himself from others, but perhaps it was just a habit.

Before he and his godmother Bai Sujin stayed in Lihuo Capital, they had never really settled down, but were more of a traveling person.

I won’t stay long in any place I go, but I will make some new friends. Meeting by chance is fate, but I may not see such a destined friend again in the future.

Being considerate, courteous, and polite is about not leaving a bad impression during the brief and precious time we spend together. A subtle sense of distance is about protecting oneself and avoiding excessive sadness and helplessness during the parting.

Chu Wuji told this conjecture to Madam Jiang, and then speculated:

"It could also be to maintain a dull state. My mother told me that when encountering danger in the mountains, one should not panic. Panic will reduce one's own abilities and waste physical strength. Therefore, one should maintain a dull state, solve problems when encountering them, and reduce emotional fluctuations."

Panic will waste energy?

This was the first time Mrs. Jiang had heard such a statement, but she would not comment on it as she was not an expert in this area.

"Then Wuji, you are now Qingying's brother. Don't worry about her coldness in the future. Just think of it as appeasing a sister with a bad face!"

Chu Wuji now knew that he had no confidence to refuse. He was really soft-hearted. He nodded and responded seriously:

"Okay, if she makes a face, I'll pretend not to see it."

Seeing that he agreed, Mrs. Jiang smiled with relief.

Although she would not explicitly ask to recognize the child, she definitely treated Chu Wuji as her own child in her heart.

Chu Wuji was now concerned about an important issue. He said:

"Mrs. Jiang, where are you planning to live next? Are you going back to Sanquanwei?"

"Qingying will come to pick me up in four days."

Four days actually passed very quickly. Last time, Chu Wuzhi made an appointment with Yun Qingying to meet four days later, and it was already here in the blink of an eye.

However, Chu Wuji was not very reassured about leaving Madam Jiang alone in Sanquanwei.

It’s not that he doubts Mrs. Jiang’s self-awareness, but Chu Wuji doubts his own character and fortune.

It was the same mentality as yesterday when she didn't dare to leave the little foxes. Yun Qingying had excellent luck, so when Madam Jiang ran into trouble, she immediately "refreshed" Chu Wuji to rescue her.

But now it was Chu Wuzhi's turn to keep Madam Jiang in the inn, and it was he who was to be tested for luck.

Chu Wuji still felt that it would be better not to test his own merits and fortune casually, so he took Madam Jiang to stay at the waterfall pool for a few days.

I just don't know if the big fox fairy will dislike outsiders.

Then let the little fox go and ask. If the big fox fairy nods in agreement, then take Madam Jiang over.

But before leaving, we have to deal with the hanged man on the other side!

Chu Wuji caught the little fox and let it accompany the plump and beautiful woman, saying:

"Madam Jiang, please tidy up your clothes here. I'm going to go across the stream to stretch my muscles and put away the things I just wanted to seduce you to."

Mrs. Jiang didn't quite understand because she couldn't see any dirt on the other side. She just nodded in confusion and packed her clothes with a blushing face.

Chu Wuji stood up and turned his gaze to the hanged man on the other side of the river.

Those evil creatures with gray and purple skin and white eyes were standing by the stream, as if stuck in an air wall. They stretched out their hands, stuck out their tongues, and tried their best to fly over.

The white-haired boy leaped over and grabbed the tongue of the creature in mid-air. His palm felt slippery and cold, like a loach.

The hanged ghost's tongue suddenly began to emit burning smoke and it screamed miserably. Chu Wuzhi punched it and hit the entity steadily, blasting a hole in the hanged ghost's body.

Chu Wuji was a little nervous before, because he was facing an unknown opponent. But now that he had won the first battle, his confidence was high, and he murmured:

"This hanged ghost looks scary, but I don't think it's difficult to deal with. Once I can see him, I can kill him with one punch. He's not as durable as a big bear."

"And it seems that all these hostile monsters will be burned by me? Mother, aunt, and Tushan Fairy are not affected."

Chu Wuji didn't think about it too much because several other hanged ghosts were also coming to attack him.

These evil creatures, which had little sense of cunning, were no match for him at all. Chu Wuji punched them on the forehead, and with one blow, he could mercifully deliver them relief.

The tongue of one of the hanged ghosts successfully wrapped around Chu Wuji's wrist. It screamed in pain from the burn, and Chu Wuji also felt a chill and like sneezing.

Apart from that, there were no other impacts, not even any injuries.

"It's not very strong, but if an ordinary person is touched by these things, with normal Yang Qi, they will probably get a runny nose. Those with weaker constitutions will probably catch a cold and a fever."

As for why it is only found in Xiaoze Country, it is probably because of the difference in national strength. Perhaps the territory of Xiaoze Country is not very peaceful and stable, and also the Shenxiao Sect influences this area.

Mrs. Jiang originally couldn't see those dirty things, but every time Chu Wuzhi saved one, a burst of black smoke would rise up, accompanied by a shrill scream.

Thinking of the water monkey head that appeared in the stream earlier, the beautiful woman realized how dangerous the other side was!

Chu Wuji solved the problem in just a few moves, but there was still some movement in the forest, so he didn't pursue it any further and jumped back to Mrs. Jiang.

"Wu Ji, are you okay? Are you not hurt?"

"It's all good. The evil object that attracted your attention is gone, but the situation on the other side is still unstable. Madam Jiang, it's best not to go near this stream in the future."

Mrs. Jiang felt a lingering fear when she heard him say this:

"I see. These things are invisible. If ordinary passersby get caught, I don't know what to do."

"Let's go."

Chu Wuzhi led the way away. When Mrs. Jiang saw that he had no intention of returning to Sanquanwei, she knew that he wanted to take her to settle down somewhere else, so she hurriedly followed him.

After walking for almost two miles, Mrs. Jiang saw the "army of little foxes". They were all waiting for Chu Wuzhi obediently.

The beautiful woman turned around to look at the direction of the stream, but found that it was no longer visible. She couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Wuji, you just came from such a long distance to save me?"

"It's all thanks to the little foxes. They first smelled the fragrance of the buns, and then heard Madam Jiang's voice, which reminded me to go back."

Mrs. Jiang looked at these fluffy little guys with gratitude and touched them one by one. However, some of the little foxes were shy and refused to be touched, and the beautiful woman had no choice.

She looked at Chu Wuji a little nervously and asked, "Then... do you still want to eat buns later?"

Chu Wuji pretended not to hear, squatted down in front of Madam Jiang, and said:

"It's a long journey, I'll carry you there."

Mrs. Jiang felt a little regretful, but now she was not too demanding. She waved her hand:

"I'm not tired yet, there's no need to trouble Wuji to carry me."

"I'm not worried that Madam Jiang will get tired, but I'm worried that she'll walk too slowly and delay the trip."

"..."

The beautiful woman looked at him hesitantly, wanting to say something. She realized that Chu Wuji had no intention of disdain, but simply had the so-called "dull mindset in solving problems." She could only sigh helplessly.

*

When Chu Wuji arrived near the waterfall pool, he stopped and signaled the little fox to go back and ask for instructions.

Not long after, the little fox brought back Tushan Yourong's message and chirped something, but Chu Wuji couldn't understand the chirping language. Fortunately, judging from the body movements, it should be possible to get closer.

Chu Wuzhi carried Madam Jiang on his back again and brought her into the waterfall pool.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know what Chu Wuji was worried about, and thought he stopped to relax because he was tired.

No matter how much, he must be tired. He carried her all the way from the stream to here. Mrs. Jiang took a nap at night, and when she woke up, Chu Wuzhi was still walking. She admired the child's energy and stamina. He was so fierce!

"There is also this kind of wonderland, it's so beautiful!"

Mrs. Jiang was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the place when she suddenly saw a huge fox lying above the waterfall, with eight real tails and one virtual tail.

Although she is in animal form, one can sense her charming beauty from her expression!
