Chapter 111 A Great Opportunity?
Chen Chunan Courtyard
Chi Mianxi looked at Chen Chunan with a pleading expression, grabbing his arm with her little hands and shaking it back and forth: "Help me think of a way~ I know you definitely have a way!"
Chen Chunan scratched his head: "If I remember correctly, you said you've never seen your parents since you were born, right?"
Chi Mianxi nodded her little head vigorously.
Seeing her confirmation, Chen Chunan simply shrugged: "If she gave birth to you but didn't raise you, then she hasn't done you much kindness. As the saying goes, 'If parents are not kind, their children will not be filial.' She doesn't even care about you, so why should you care about her?"
Chi Mianxi's barren brain worked for a while before he finally understood.
"You mean I should just ignore them and disappear?"
"Of course, even though you were living like that before! You were so poor you were practically selling your pants, your maternal clan never came looking for you."
The metaphor of Chi Mianxi being so poor that he had to pawn his pants deeply stung him, and he retorted before Chen Chunan could finish speaking:
"You're talking nonsense! When did I ever pawn my pants! Besides, if you hadn't destroyed my magical artifact, I could at least have pawned that Cloud Mirror!"
?
"Is that the point? The point isn't that your mother clan ignored you for hundreds of years, but you became the Dragon King of Pingjiang, and only recently you've refined the water veins, yet your so-called mother clan is already contacting you through blood. Don't you find that strange?"
Everyone says that maternal uncles are the most important relatives, and if that's true, then where were they all this time? Does a mother not even remember she has a child?
Chen Chunan even wanted to say, what's the difference between your situation and that of an abandoned child in the mortal world who gets along well and then has their parents come looking for them?
After pondering for a long time, Chi Mianxi finally pouted and looked at Chen Chunan: "Then what should I do!"
"You need to tell me about your mother's family situation first before I can make a judgment, right?"
"My mother's clan is the Tianhou clan, which should also live on an island overseas."
"Tianhou?"
In his previous life, Chen Chunan had read a book called "Shu Yi Ji" (Records of Strange Things). The book described a beast in the East Sea called Hou, which could eat dragon brains, leap up and down in the air, and was extremely fierce. Whenever it fought with a dragon, it would breathe fire several feet long from its mouth, and the dragon would always be defeated.
Chen Chunan looked at Chi Mianxi with a strange expression, wanting to ask her how her father could have a child with a dragon-eating beast!
Or is it that the Heavenly Hou of this world doesn't eat dragons?
Chi Mianxi, oblivious to Chen Chunan's thoughts, continued, "I don't know the strength of the Tianhou clan either. I only sense that my mother should be a Nascent Soul cultivator, and my blood relative should be my maternal uncle, who should also be a Nascent Soul cultivator. I don't know how to deal with them, so you'll have to help me then."
Chen Chunan sighed and said, "How can I help you? You need to make your attitude clear yourself! At most, I'll help you if they try to forcibly take you away. Besides, you still have the identity of an elder of the Taiyin Sect. Go find Han Yuqiu and ask her to help you too."
"That's fine too! They said they'd take me to the East Sea and bestow upon me a great opportunity, but I don't want any great opportunity at all! How could they bestow one when I was at my poorest? Now that I've become the Dragon King of Pingjiang, they're only coming now. Don't they know the saying 'adding flowers to flowers is worse than offering charcoal'?"
Chen Chunan listened with some helplessness: "It's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade! Speak properly, if you don't have some knowledge, don't try to be literary, or outsiders will laugh at you."
Chi Mianxi listened to Chen Chunan's words and was not angry at Chen Chunan for belittling her. On the contrary, she was happy that he did not treat her as an outsider.
"Hehe, I only act like this in front of you. I wouldn't act like this in front of other people."
Looking at her silly expression, Chen Chunan couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair into a mess.
"You'd better be more careful in the future. Don't believe everything you hear."
"Yeah, yeah! I'll chase them away as soon as they come! I don't care about any opportunities!"
Chi Mianxi simply didn't even go back to Pingjiang, and stayed directly in Yunyangling.
the other side
The elegantly dressed young man on the carriage glanced indifferently at Pingjiang below.
"They've really gotten used to being out and about, they've lost all manners. I'm their cousin, and they didn't even come out to greet me when I'm already at the riverbank."
A beautiful woman standing nearby, not wanting to cause trouble, immediately advised, "Young master, why bother with a wild girl? We'll just follow our master's instructions and take her back safely, and that will be the end of our mission."
The elegantly dressed young man immediately bowed slightly: "Aunt Ling is right. If she doesn't come to greet us, let's go directly to her water residence."
Aunt Ling nodded: "Yes, it's best to finish things as soon as possible. It's too humid here, and it's not very comfortable to stay here. I don't know how the Third Miss endured it back then."
The young man in fine clothes seemed about to speak, but then realized it was inappropriate and simply kept quiet.
The burly man driving the car pulled on the hood after hearing that his master had made up his mind.
The four strange beasts pulling the cart exhaled a faint puff of smoke and reluctantly walked into the water.
The beautiful woman, known as Aunt Ling, tossed out a small bead, and a wide road automatically parted on the river surface.
Upon seeing this, the four strange beasts hurriedly spurred their horses and rushed along the parted road towards the faintly visible water palace.
The monsters in the water palace were all terrified and turned pale.
Ignoring the Dragon King's orders, they all transformed into their true forms and fled in all directions.
Upon seeing this, the richly dressed young man frowned immediately: "Didn't my cousin already obtain control of the water veins? Why are these subordinates so incompetent?"
Aunt Ling frowned slightly: "They're just some lowly Golden Core demons; not even a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
The richly dressed young man scoffed, "Forget it, isn't it better to have nothing? This water vein authority is a treasure even for dragons. We can take it back and exchange it with the Seven Immortal Islands for some rare and precious materials. The Ten Thousand Immortal Treasures Gathering is next month, and it'll come in handy!"
"With this water vein, your cousin might not be willing to go with you. We should be prepared for both possibilities. This time, your father is determined to obtain the Golden Elixir of Salvation, so we need to curry favor with Venerable Huangqiu."
The young man in traditional Chinese clothing nodded to indicate that he understood.
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the Water Palace in just a few breaths.
Seeing that no one from the Water Mansion came out to greet him, the richly dressed young man's face darkened, and he simply used his magic power to roar at the Water Mansion.
"Where is my cousin! My cousin has arrived, why aren't you going to greet him?"
At this moment, Chi Mianxi of Yunyang Ridge was staring at a telescope in front of him, which showed the scene in front of the Water Palace.
Seeing her minions scatter and flee for their lives without hesitation, Chi Mianxi glared angrily at Chen Chunan:
"These little devils are so disloyal! They said they'd go through fire and water for me, and now they've all vanished! And that Kong Xiangxi, he really thinks he's some big shot! He even greeted me! Believe me, I'll smash his head in!"
Chen Chunan shook his head: "They just freeload off some spiritual energy and resources from your water manor. With so few resources each month, do you really expect them to risk their lives for you?"
Chi Mianxi agreed, and could only say sullenly, "You've destroyed all the good stuff from the viper with one blow. What can I do? If it weren't for the fact that I could still sell some Gui Water Essence, I'd be so poor I wouldn't even have any spirit stones left!"
Chen Chunan rolled his eyes: "Whether I fought or not is none of your business. Those were my spoils, understand? And that drop of Boundless True Water from the viper, it went back to the water vein, right? I didn't even ask you for it, and you're already complaining to me?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Mianxi's little face immediately tensed up: "We agreed that the water vein belongs to me! Everything born from the water vein should also belong to me. You won't go back on your word, will you?"
Chen Chunan reached out and tapped Chi Mianxi on the forehead: "I didn't ask you for it, so I'm tacitly agreeing to give it to you! You're such a tightwad! You should think about how to get rid of these people! It's not good for them to keep blocking your Water Mansion entrance like this."
Upon hearing Chen Chunan's promise to give her the Boundless True Water, Chi Mianxi was immediately overjoyed, but then frowned: "I don't want to see them! I'll stay here and not go back! Let's see how long they wait!"
