Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1768: Chapter 1748:

Mo couldn’t help but feel amused: ”Who told you that? A hundred flavors?”

”It’s written in the book, an unparalleled taste in the world,” Luo Qianqian said with a serious expression.

Mo gently shook his head: ”That’s not true. The hundred flavors refer to the myriad emotions of life. Falling into the Illusionary Realm of the Hundred Flavors Mushroom is basically unsolvable, but it allows one to witness the changes in a person’s expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, until their mental energy and physical energy are exhausted, leading to death and becoming the next culture medium for the Hundred Flavors Mushroom.”

For a moment, Luo Qianqian didn’t know what to say.

After all, not everyone can accept spending their life in an illusion.

”Actually, there is a solution, but the materials are even more precious than the Hundred Flavors Mushroom itself.” Mo calmly looked at Luo Qianqian: ”But rest assured, neither you nor your brother will be affected by the Hundred Flavors Mushroom.”

”...So it’s Gu?” Luo Qianqian was taken aback and then asked.

”Not entirely. Not all can work, only the highest level can, because in essence, the Hundred Flavors Mushroom is equivalent to a low-level Gu, with each spore able to trap a person in an illusion.” Mo shrugged as he looked at Luo Qianqian: ”So likewise, I’m not afraid.”

”There can’t be just this one method, right?” Luo Qianqian appeared puzzled; if one method is hidden, there might be more, right?

”Yes, Yan can enter even without Gu; he has the Ultimate Yang Flame, whereas I can’t. I possess the Ultimate Yin Flame.” Mo shrugged: ”However, similarly, he can’t pass through toxic mists where I can walk as if on flat ground.” Mo naturally looked at Luo Qianqian: ”As for that thing behind your mountain, it might just be the ancient tomb entrance of the Wood Emperor—Eternal Emperor from the Ancient Five Emperors.”

”Oh my...” Luo Qianqian froze completely, overwhelmed with disbelief. How could this be possible? It’s so astonishing, isn’t it?

”From my perspective, I suggest you find someone familiar with the wood attribute to try. However, even if they can pass the Illusionary Realm of the Hundred Flavors Mushroom, they may not survive through the trials.” Mo glanced at Luo Qianqian: ”So, you can have the Huangfu Brothers come next year to sneak in.”

”...Are you a worm in my stomach?” Luo Qianqian had black lines all over her head; she was just thinking of this when Mo mentioned it.

Mo helplessly smiled: ”The most talented person you’ve encountered that I’ve seen is probably him...” Huangfu Yihui, although not exceptionally outstanding, is at least part of our team.

”Well, I’ll tell them later.” Luo Qianqian shrugged: ”You should rest for a bit. It’s likely that Nianan’s noise at night has been disrupting your sleep, right?”

”It’s fine, you go sleep.” Mo shook his head: ”In fact, with our cultivation level, we can completely replace sleep with cultivation, and also stay alert to the surroundings, able to open our eyes swiftly when Nianan makes a move.”

”You’ve said that, so why should I rest...” Luo Qianqian had black lines all over her head.

However, under the pleasant interaction between the two, Lin Nianan quickly grew to a size similar to an average infant, except for liking baths.

Unlike other children who cry when bathing, Lin Nianan would smile happily, and their eyes were filled with joyful emotions.

Jet-black, bright large eyes, sky-blue whites, a high nose bridge, long eyelashes, and distinct double eyelids.

A cherished child that blends the advantages of parents, even as an aunt, one can’t help but feel envious.

”How can someone be so good-looking...” Luo Qianqian looked at Lin Nianan with a face full of envy.

Lin Nianan blinked their big eyes, filled with happiness and trust towards these two individuals.

”Shiqi!”

At that moment, a familiar voice echoed from outside the cave.

Luo Qianqian was surprised: ”So soon?” Then she turned her head: ”It’s Shiliu, can we let her in?”

Mo gestured for Luo Qianqian to do as she wished, but still felt a bit uncomfortable, after all... not familiar.

The place wasn’t so big that he could hide and not be found, after all, at least for three days...

”Here.” Luo Qianqian went outside and brought the person in.

He Wenyu, dusty from traveling, entered the cave carrying a large bag, and upon seeing the child in the basin, was startled: ”Where did you steal a child from? Where’s Nianan?”

”This is Nianan. Where would I go to steal a child for you?” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes: ”Doesn’t he look handsome? Thanks to Mo’s miraculous skill, look, how adorable his smile is.” Pinching Nianan’s cheek, Luo Qianqian joined Nianan in smiling.

Lin Nianan didn’t feel any malice from Luo Qianqian, and continued to smile happily, only the other stranger triggered some curiosity.

Luo Qianqian waved her hand to wash away the dust from He Wenyu’s journey: ”What are you doing? What did you bring?”

”I’ve been picking herbs this whole month; need this for the monthly assessment, right? I returned, and these are for child nourishment, sent by the old man because your place doesn’t have these low-level herbs.” He Wenyu said with a face full of helplessness, understanding she spent over twenty days picking other herbs before starting on this, yet ended up packing them all.

Mo earnestly nodded: ”You helped a lot.”

Luo Qianqian showed a look of exasperation: ”I could have gone out to help you find them.”

”His is free and of good quality.” Mo opened up to inspect, and upon seeing the few boxes at the bottom, his eyes gleamed, then packed them all away.

”Did you feed them fodder? How did they grow so quick?” He Wenyu looked incredulous; the little guy who barely fit in two hands is now so big? And... why are they always giggling?”

”Isn’t growing a bit bigger better? By the way, you’re just in time to make him a couple of clothes and take some photos for the Forget Worries Tea House, and wait for Brother Jiayou to return to see.” Luo Qianqian spoke with earnestness.

He Wenyu was stunned, then nodded: ”Why don’t you do it?”

Mo silently glanced away, feigning ignorance about what was before his eyes; only Luo Qianqian was somewhat dismayed but helpless: ”Clumsy hands, don’t ask, hurry up, your nephew’s waiting.”

He Wenyu knowingly chuckled, reaching an understanding with Mo on this matter.

Mo had actually tried, but the crooked outcome was no better than Luo Qianqian’s level, so he gave up on further attempts.

”I’ll work on it soon; don’t you have any food? I rushed here and am really tired.” He Wenyu complained to Luo Qianqian: ”What kind of hospitality is this? Not even a cup of tea?”

”...When have you seen anyone in confinement with tea? It’s good enough to have food.” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes: ”Only water, if needed there’s tea, and yes, there’s fresh bath water.”

”Fine, I have my own.” He Wenyu quietly opened her own flask, savoring the water inside: ”Having to prepare your own provisions, it’s really lacking in human touch.”

”If it were really inhumane, could you even come in? Even if you could come in, could you leave?” Mo spoke softly.
