Little Junior Sister, We Can’t Handle This Grind Anymore - Chapter 94
Little Feng Qingran was overjoyed. “Mother, don’t say anything for now, wait for me here! I’m going to find another thing to practice on.”
With that, little Feng Qingran dashed into the village and disappeared from sight.
The woman’s gentleness turned cold and gloomy. She looked down at the little black dog and said icily, “Taotie, you’ve done a fine job! Did you teach her something?”
“What could I teach her! You were the first person she saw. It must be you who did something!” Taotie shook its dog head defiantly.
In the distance, the Qiongqi, forced to become a sow, roared, “Hey! You two idiots, can’t even do this right? Good thing she’s just a naive little child, otherwise would we even have a way out?”
“Hmph! It’s definitely not my fault!” Taotie adopted a “break the pot completely” attitude.
The woman’s eyes gradually turned into vertical pupils, dark, damp, and cold as she looked at the distant sow. “Qiongqi, you still talk? This is the village entrance, with no houses around. Was it reasonable for you to build a cattle pen here? It must be you who made Feng Qingran act like this!”
Qiongqi retorted, flapping his fat ears, almost flying off. “It has nothing to do with me, you guys must have messed up… Besides, you’re her mother, she ran away and you didn’t even chase after her…”
“Stop talking! The girl is coming back!” Taotie warned.
Instantly, the three returned to normal.
The woman, gentle and serene, beamed with a smile as she watched little Feng Qingran running towards her.
Little Feng Qingran, holding an old hen in her arms, came up to the woman, her small face full of excitement. “Mother, look, this is an old hen, right?”
The woman nodded, looking at the flapping old hen in Feng Qingran’s arms with a complex expression.
If little Feng Qingran could control the illusion, it was definitely not good news for them…
“Turn… turn into a little flying elephant!” Little Feng Qingran finished speaking and threw the old hen onto the ground.
Thud!—
The old hen fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a half-person-tall little elephant, with a pair of wings sprouting from its back.
The woman: …
The woman decided to try and salvage Feng Qingran’s spiraling madness.
“Ranran, tell Mother, who taught you this magic?” The woman’s face was full of seriousness.
“Hmm? I don’t know either. It’s like I learned it in a dream.” Little Feng Qingran wore a thoughtful expression and continued, “But Mother, don’t worry, I’ve tried it. This magic doesn’t work on you…”
The woman: ???
So you tried it on me?
“Ranran, if people see these things, they will think you are a monster!” the woman warned.
“But we are monsters, aren’t we?” Little Feng Qingran opened her eyes wide and said with utmost seriousness.
The woman’s eyes grew wary. Could it be…
“Mother, they all call me a fox spirit. A fox spirit is a monster!” Little Feng Qingran said as if stating the obvious.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!—
The little flying elephant beside them tilted its nostrils towards the sky, stamping its hooves.
It had learned how to cluck, but it had never learned how an elephant trumpeted!
Little Feng Qingran patted the little flying elephant’s head. “You fly back now. After you go back, you’ll turn back into an old hen.”
The little flying elephant uncontrollably flapped its wings and flew away.
“Mother, am I amazing?” Little Feng Qingran looked at her, seeking praise.
“Ranran is truly amazing,” the woman said, her words not matching her feelings.
“Mother, let’s hurry to grandfather’s house. I’m so looking forward to it!” The thought of punishing those who used to bully her made Feng Qingran very happy.
The woman and Taotie exchanged a look, their expressions complex.
Little Feng Qingran, radiating confidence, led the woman into the village, her face full of pride, none of the timidity from before.
The village houses were built facing each other, with a wide main road in between.
At that moment, many people were sitting at their doorsteps.
They all stared intently at the pair.
A woman with a headscarf was the first to mock. “Oh my, isn’t this the harlot living at the end of the village? How dare she come here to embarrass herself?”
“Aunt Pan, you’re wrong. Her skin is so thick, she seduces every man. What wouldn’t she dare to do?”
“A fox spirit with a bastard child, she’s ruining our village’s reputation. I say we should put her in a pig cage and drown her!”
“Aunt Chen, stop talking. We agreed to drown her back then, but then all the men in our village were bewitched by this shameless woman. They insisted on keeping her!”
“Isn’t that the truth! My man still secretly helps this fox spirit behind my back…”
“The Li family people are quite honest, how did they give birth to such a seductive wretch! Throwing herself at men to have a child, and then has the nerve to keep living in this world…”
…
Everyone chimed in, one after another, with cold sneers and sarcastic remarks.
Little Feng Qingran hung her head, cold air emanating from her body, her eyes filled with gloom.
The same familiar words!
And the same familiar voices!
The villagers always spoke about Mother this way…
Each of them ignorant of the truth.
They always loved to stand on their moral high ground, mocking and blaming Mother!
Even in an illusory world, these people wouldn’t let Mother off…
“Shut up, all of you!” Little Feng Qingran roared in anger.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.
The crowd was baffled, looking at each other. How dare she yell at them?
When Feng Qingran was little, she was a pushover, insecure, sensitive, and all she could do was cry…
How could she dare to yell at people in the illusion?
The woman shot the others a meaningful glance.
She wanted to tell them that things had changed, not to provoke Feng Qingran.
But everyone misunderstood her completely.
Among them, Aunt Zhang abruptly stood up, hands on hips, pointing at Feng Qingran. “You little bastard, what are you yelling for? You scared us all! If you dare yell again, I’ll make the villagers drive you and your mother out!”
