Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1253: Flying Metal Cabin

The first seven days have passed, and the ”Old General Hua” has been buried. The Hua Residence has directly declined visitors, reportedly due to the father’s death and the issue with an unwed fiancée (sister-in-law not yet married into the family), causing the three siblings to fall ill.

The second young master, who was already severely injured, is now in critical condition, which has put everyone at the General’s Mansion on edge.

However, this didn’t include Luo Qianqian and her group, who leisurely left the mansion.

Old General Hua had received the news and warmly greeted Luo Qianqian, patting her back in a brotherly way: ”The moment I saw you, I knew you weren’t just any ordinary lady from the boudoir, how about it? How about it?”

What do you mean by ”how about it”? Luo Qianqian was left speechless.

”Haha, this time, we really troubled you with Yiyi’s matter. I, this old man, don’t have anything to repay you with, how about becoming my family’s daughter-in-law?” Old Master Hua said directly.

Luo Qianqian was bewildered: ”Old Master, aren’t you returning kindness with a slap in the face?”

Rolling her eyes dramatically, she dismissively waved her hand: ”I like pretty boys. Look, is there anyone ugly around me? I’m all about looks.”

Pointing to Haan Yun and Yan, who didn’t dare to approach, she raised an eyebrow: ”Look at them, if any of them were ugly, I would have kicked them away.”

Old Master Hua glanced over displeased. He had watched Haan Yun grow up, and knew that compared to his son, Haan Yun’s appearance was vastly different.

But Yan was indeed quite stunning at first sight.

Squinting at Luo Qianqian, Old Master Hua said with dissatisfaction, ”Being good-looking but in poor health is also not good, is it? Otherwise, you’ll become a widow at a young age.”

Luo Qianqian was speechless. How old was she to worry about something so far in the future?

”Finding someone strong but ugly might shorten my life. I wouldn’t be able to eat, and become thinner by the day. Just imagine...” Luo Qianqian said earnestly, then pointed at Yan, ”Not to mention Haan Yun, isn’t Yan good-looking and strong? Why shouldn’t I choose better rather than lower my standards?”

Although she wasn’t from a noble clan, she was aware that being a Cultivator was honorable.

In a world where the strong are respected, power is everything. Even the Imperial Clan would welcome you if you’re powerful, so why settle for ordinary people?

She hadn’t thought about marriage, but undoubtedly, as long as she didn’t want it, no one could force her!

Hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, Old Master Hua was mixed with emotions; he understood the truth that Luo Qianqian was speaking.

Looking at Yan standing aside, he sighed.

He was also aware of his son’s feelings, but as Luo Qianqian said, she shouldn’t have to lower her standards.

”Haan Yun, just find a small village to accompany Old Master Hua. After all, you’re not lacking people, and the General’s Mansion is also safe. We’re leaving.” Luo Qianqian didn’t want to be tricked by Old Master Hua.

Haan Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief: ”Shiqi, you’re abandoning us?”

Old Master Hua nodded repeatedly, unwilling: ”Being with this brat? I’ll lose a few years of my life, okay?”

”That’s between you as in-laws. We have other matters to attend to. Once we’re done, we’ll come back for you.” Luo Qianqian was unwilling, she needed to go home, why stay here?

True, she took the money, but didn’t mean she had to stay here as a bodyguard.

Besides, she had already fulfilled half of what she promised. At least now Hua Nianyi wasn’t engaged, right?

Luo Qianqian’s displeasure was seen as disdain by Old General Hua, who then sat on the ground and began to cry out: ”Oh dear, this heartless girl wants to abandon this old man and leave me with such an irresponsible brat. Doesn’t she know to respect the elderly and love the young...”

Luo Qianqian was startled by the Old General’s actions, her eyes wide: Was this the ancient version of a scam?

”Hehe... Yan, let’s go.” Luo Qianqian watched coldly for a while, her expression turning indifferent.

Having seen elder scams too many times, Luo Qianqian was already sick of such things, and naturally lacked any goodwill towards Old General Hua.

Turning around, she swiftly left with Yan at a rapid speed, soon disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Haan Yun stared, incredulous: ”She just left me like this?”

Old Master Hua sat on the ground with his mouth agape, words left unsaid: ”Ah?”

But they were already gone, so whatever they said was to no avail.

Back at Huangfu Yihui’s stationed place, Luo Qianqian waved her small hand: ”Go, go, go, hurry up and run. The sooner we get there, I’ll treat you all to a good meal.” Her face was full of urgency: ”Let’s go quickly.”

Huangfu Yihui paused, then nodded hastily, not asking why, and immediately called everyone to leave.

The little boy heaved a sigh of relief seeing Luo Qianqian return, hurriedly picking up the things on the ground and rapidly following the group to leave.

After leaving the nearby woods, Huangfu Yihui directly ordered people to purchase four Flying Mounts.

Looking at the large bird mounts, Luo Qianqian had a bewildered expression. There were no seats, no handles, just a bare bird back. What if she fell off?

Before she could voice her doubts, she saw Huangfu Yihui producing a massive metal cabin, fastening it onto the claws of the four Flying Mounts with the help of his followers. The metal cabin had twenty seats visible from the outside, but the windows were metal, likely offering no view.

Huangfu Yihui waved to Luo Qianqian: ”Let’s go, we might be able to sneak away.”

Luo Qianqian felt awkward; she didn’t say anything about sneaking away...

Although unspoken, it was obvious.

Getting into the metal cabin, she saw the seats on either side fixed with straps and handles, leaving her unsure of what to say. Was this thing really that dangerous?

But she obediently sat down, secured herself. This was her first attempt, and it seemed even more terrifying than a plane.

After all, would the four beasts overhead listen to commands?

Besides the people seated, four others went up to command the flying beasts, closing the massive metal door with a dull thud.

With her eyes shut, Luo Qianqian comforted herself: This is actually a ferris wheel...

With four corners secured, the metal cabin was relatively stable, not swaying with the wind, nor inducing nausea as Luo Qianqian had imagined.

She slyly opened her eyes, catching Yan’s face full of playful laughter, which irked her further. Pouting, she turned away: ”Are the people above okay?”

Earlier, she clearly saw Huangfu Yihui hand something to the four people, what was it? Parachutes?

”Just a bit cold, the wind is strong, and the speed isn’t too fast. They should handle it.” Huangfu Yihui nodded, speaking lightly.
