Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1867: Chapter 1847:

Though the tension felt as if time were stretching endlessly, there’s no denying that only a brief moment had passed, and two pure white, unblemished ’Three Breaths’ appeared before them.

Beautiful six petals, elegant and gracefully elongated, surrounded the slender crimson stamens, like a young maiden wrapped in white gauze with lips akin to red cinnamon.

”These flowers are really pretty...” Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but exclaim, ready to reach out, but was retracted by Mo.

”These cannot be touched, extremely fragile, jade cut and silver filled.” Only then did Luo Qianqian notice there was indeed a delicate Jade Blade shielding their hands from the ’Three Breaths.’ At a casual glance, it was nearly invisible, and for a moment, she felt deep admiration. Such craftsmanship must be exceptional, as this isn’t merely a radish, but jade! Thin as a cicada’s wing yet sharp, if this doesn’t qualify as intricacy, then what does?

Watching Long Tu put the item away, Luo Qianqian was full of curiosity: ”Is it okay to store them inside?” Aren’t plants supposed to bask in sunlight and be watered? Though they’re not rooted, it doesn’t look like they’re meant to become dried flowers, does it?

”Even slight elemental abnormalities could cause them to become toxic,” Mo naturally explained, ”but the entrance to the Forest of Myriad Poisons is up ahead, so having ’Three Breaths’ here isn’t unusual. The issue is, once the Three Breaths become toxic, they shouldn’t appear in this spot, right?”

Long Tu nodded as well: ”When I saw them, I was surprised too, but they were just budding then. I thought I’d check back in a few days, and sure enough, if I’d waited any longer, they would’ve bloomed.”

Mo nodded, stating the obvious, since after all, this is the flower with the shortest blooming period.

For ’Three Breaths,’ those brief breaths constitute its blooming period, and post those breaths, its poisonous flower becomes its fruit.

They’re completely different, after all.

He Wenyu’s face was filled with awe: ”Even just a plant at the entrance looks like this, I can’t imagine what it’s like inside? It must be a very beautiful garden, right?”

”...” For He Wenyu’s idea, Mo and Long Tu had no interest in commenting.

Such words could only come from a girl! A garden? A garden where a slight misstep could lead to poisoning? What worth or significance does such a garden have?

Luo Qianqian indicated she shared that thought, but she always felt that, even if such a garden were more beautiful, possessing an indescribable charm beyond words, she’d never risk her own safety to view its scenery, right? After all, you need to be alive to appreciate beautiful landscapes, don’t you?

Tantan also looked longingly towards the Forest of Myriad Poisons.

Only Di Jun seemed completely uninterested, displaying full rejection.

Are you kidding? Even though he can treat internal and external injuries, it doesn’t mean he can detoxify, okay? So he refused, and it was urgent to refuse!

Don’t involve him in this suicide mission!!!

However, Mo and Long Tu clearly had no intention of entering the Forest of Myriad Poisons, so they decided to head home, without feeling any embarrassment in doing so.

Returning to their little courtyard, the old man wasn’t there, and they decided to go directly to Forget Worries Tea House, not giving it much thought, after all, the old man wasn’t often around anyway, exercising more is good for the elderly.

”... So, you call her sister?” Qin Nuan blurted, utterly dumbfounded, pointing at Tantan: ”My son could almost call you aunt, and yet you’ve brought back a sister? Do you know what having such a young sister-in-law might entail?”

”An Hao is also a child, no need to fuss over details, and now I don’t want to be an aunt,” Luo Qianqian seriously replied.

Hearing this explanation, Qin Nuan instinctively felt Luo Qianqian had a point, right? At least being called ’sister’ sounds better than ’aunt,’ doesn’t it?

Luo Yanran was beside herself, struggling to grasp why they always managed to bring home such peculiar things, always with myriad reasons? After all, Shiba and Shiqi were adopted by Nine Heavens Pavilion for various reasons; was another child aiming for the same here?

But Luo Qianqian never felt she said anything wrong, truth be told; she was still young, definitely not wanting to be called ’aunt’ so early.

Being called ’aunt’ is inevitable; after all, when your older siblings’ kids call you ’aunt’ instead of ’sister,’ doesn’t it feel like you’re losing out?

”I’ve decided! My child’s name will be Luo Batian! Nicknamed Ba Ba!” Luo Qianqian suddenly shouted, startling everyone around her, and moments later, multiple stupefied faces appeared.

”Why that name?” He Wenyu was dumbfounded too, unable to appreciate such a name.

Calling one’s child ’dad’? Only someone with a mental issue could pull that off, wouldn’t they?

”Then people will introduce me as ’Ba Ba’s mom,’ right?” Luo Qianqian stated earnestly, not noticing that some around her were contemplating hitting her...

”Doesn’t sound good,” Tantan tilted her head, not quite grasping the joke but still voicing her opinion: ”Even ’Luo Luo’ sounds better than ’Luo Batian.’

”Even ’Luo Doudou’ sounds better than ’Luo Ba Ba,’” Qin Nuan hurriedly nodded.

He Wenyu couldn’t help but roll her eyes: ”To be blunt, even ’God Luo’ is fine...”

”Ah right, these are herbs, I’m craving those meat pies we had before tonight,” Di Jun enthusiastically handed over a bamboo basket, his face full of excitement.

Qin Nuan glanced briefly at it then passed it to He Wenyu, casually pulling out a sheet filled with writing: ”Shiliu, help check if anything’s missing.”

He Wenyu examined it carefully twice, shaking her head: ”Nothing missing, everything’s fine, but this one isn’t...”

”I’m using it for practice, better than being idle at home,” Qin Nuan smiled: ”Plus, if I’m competent, wouldn’t that be beneficial for you too later on?”

”True,” Luo Qianqian nodded, seeing the logic in it, though whether it’s genuine, no one knows for sure.

He Wenyu curled her lips: ”Can’t we just buy such things when at the academy? Making him run errands and pay is such a hassle, isn’t it?”

”What nonsense are you spouting?” Di Jun interrupted her, visibly annoyed: ”Is our relationship something that can be measured by money?”

Luo Qianqian visibly noticed Luo Yanran’s face turning black...
