Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1297: Lady and Husband

It turns out that besides people like them, who are constantly hiding, there are others in the forest out for adventure.

After they dealt with a whole bunch of Green-Feathered Chickens, they heard bustling footsteps and voices.

”Dad, can Xiaxia have a pretty little pet?”

”Of course, whatever Xiaxia wants, Dad will give you... Elder Yun, please.”

”No problem, happy to help.”

”Oh, what a pretty little kitty, Dad...”

Hearing this, Luo Qianqian instinctively looked to her side, but only saw the plate with meat; the black cat was nowhere to be found, making her frown immediately.

If they’re talking about Mr. Black Cat, it would be quite troublesome if there’s any misunderstanding, wouldn’t it?

The next second, Mr. Black Cat leaped smoothly from the tree into her arms, then snuck into her clothes, peeking out with a somewhat aggrieved look in its eyes.

”It’s under the influence of an aphrodisiac drug, it’s fine.” Yan gave a knowing glance and waved a Small Jade Bottle under the black cat’s nose.

Mr. Black Cat’s eyes gradually cleared up from their dazed state.

”Serves you right for running off!” Luo Qianqian pulled Mr. Black Cat out of her arms and gave its proud little behind a smack: ”Run off again, and I’ll leave you behind!”

Mr. Black Cat aggrievedly licked Luo Qianqian’s fingers, thinking how in his glorious life, he’s now resorting to acting cute to survive—it’s really quite unsightly.

”Such a rare moment of obedience.” Seeing Mr. Black Cat’s appeasing demeanor, Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow.

Even if it wasn’t obedient, she wouldn’t abandon it. After all, it was a gift from Second Uncle. Though she raised an egg, it didn’t feel close to her at all. When she returned, it didn’t even offer a welcome, didn’t say a word—nothing as cute as the black cat!

Tang Guo: You left me here to watch the house, and you think that’s fine?!

”Over here!” The voice was already right in front of her, and Luo Qianqian looked at the pair of green shoes stopping beside her and almost burst out laughing.

What’s so special about green shoes? A whole green hat is what really stands out!

But as it turns out, someone else thought the same.

Looking up, she saw a young man in a grass-green robe, looking rather scholarly. His face appeared quite youthful, with green ribbons fluttering above his head.

However, Luo Qianqian did not miss the hint of amazement in his eyes.

She instinctively frowned, ”Mr. Black Cat is mine. Please don’t use drugs on him at will; he’s quite delicate and might lose his appetite.” Though she planned not to feed him tonight as punishment for running off.

”I’m really sorry, it was very impolite of me. Miss, please accept my apologies.” Saying this, the green-clad young man bowed to Luo Qianqian, who was sitting on the ground.

Luo Qianqian instinctively jumped to her feet and looked towards Yan, only to find amused mischief in his eyes.

”Wow, such a handsome big brother, Dad, Xiaxia wants the big brother.” All along, she’d heard the voice and thought it was a little girl. Because of Yan’s warning, she didn’t dare to use her spiritual power lightly, fearing any mishap.

But seeing in front of her a big, weighty young girl, older than herself and with such an innocent look, she was a bit flabbergasted.

She thought it was a child, but it’s good they’re not after her cat anymore.

So she too wore a mischievous look, raising her eyebrow at Yan—payback!

Not willing to be ignored by Luo Qianqian, the green-clad youth hurriedly stepped forward again: ”I fell in love with this young lady at first sight. If the young lady doesn’t mind, I’m willing to give up my whole fortune just to marry you...”

Yan saw Luo Qianqian’s stiffened face, also with a hint of amusement—karma comes around!

”Big brother, Xiaxia wants to marry you!” Without any concern for the flowers she held, Xiaxia grabbed onto Yan’s sleeve.

The elder following behind Xiaxia became excited upon hearing her: ”Alright, Xiaxia, Daddy will take you to your bridegroom’s home to prepare the wedding! Come, young man, this way.” He gestured toward Yan invitingly.

Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but laugh out loud—who’s laughing at whom, ha ha ha!

Yan’s eyes turned a shade darker, yanking away from the elder and Xiaxia with an icy demeanor: ”Wife, let’s go! This place is so unlucky!”

Nodding towards Luo Qianqian, Yan pulled her along, ignoring the cat food on the ground.

”Ahem... Wife? So what should I call you? Husband? Sir? None seems quite right?”

”As my husband says.” Luo Qianqian just raised an eyebrow slightly and obediently walked to Yan’s side. Compared to the trouble of getting tangled with these people, pretending was obviously the lesser hassle.

Besides, Yan looks pretty good; calling him that, he seems to be the one losing out!

”Wah wah, Xiaxia wants the handsome big brother!!!” Xiaxia started wailing loudly.

Yan, however, didn’t care at all, pulling Luo Qianqian along as if treating them like they were the plague.

Having seen Huangfu Yihui’s grand entourage, just following four people was nothing.

”Young man, please wait!” No sooner had the elder spoken than four attendants blocked their path, causing Luo Qianqian to raise an eyebrow in surprise. Are they actually better than the men at the Prince Huangfu Yihui’s side?

Yan didn’t hesitate, flinging a dagger that brought one man down instantly, clutching his throat with a face full of surprise.

”If you don’t move, I’ll aim for a vital spot next.” Yan hadn’t used lethal force, just a light scratch; if he’d hit an artery, it would have been time to reflect on one’s past life.

Seeing Yan’s skill, the elder wasn’t shocked at all, instead showing a bit of excitement.

Luo Qianqian found this quite odd and pulled on Yan’s sleeve, silently tucking Mr. Black Cat back into her arms, a more serious expression crossing her face.

”Xiaxia, get ready to be a bride! Daddy can finally rest easy!” The elder said, scattering some medicinal powder at the two while the attendants helped the injured one to retreat.

Just as Luo Qianqian was about to shield them, Yan held her hand, calmly shaking his head.

”Three, two, one... Congratulations to Master on gaining such a son-in-law!... Ah, Master!” The attendant wore a fawning expression, but when he looked back, he was stunned.

”Why are you screaming, scaring Xiaxia and you’ll... Ah!!!” The elder, seeing the pair of calm eyes, paused, pulling his daughter behind him protectively.

The green-clad youth also grew more scrutinizing—how could someone avoid Elder Xia’s powder? Impossible!

”Mr. Black Cat got hit again...” Luo Qianqian helplessly pulled the slightly intoxicated, disoriented Mr. Black Cat out of her arms and raised it under Yan’s nose: ”Shouldn’t we give it special training?”

Though it’s unclear why she’s unharmed, with Yan around, it wasn’t something to worry about.
