Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1932: Chapter 1912: Phoenix Fruit

”This is the Phoenix Fruit, which only grows on Phoenix Bamboo near Chinese Parasol Wood where phoenixes roost. However, it’s not yet ripe, and its effect should be negligible.” Mo laughed helplessly, ”Phoenix, Chinese Parasol Wood, Phoenix Bamboo, and Phoenix Blood are essential conditions. I suppose it must be grown by that person at the Nine Heavens Pavilion.”

”Feng Xi? She probably wouldn’t bother...” Luo Qianqian said strangely, ”So what use does this Phoenix Fruit have?”

Through the door, Mo’s voice carried a touch of ethereality, ”The phoenix’s most well-known racial talent is immortality, Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth from the Ashes. The Phoenix Fruit can also potentially bring people back from the brink of death, though its effect is very limited, and the chance of triggering it isn’t high. Just treat it as a fruit to eat.” Saying this, he glanced at An Hao in front of him with a bitter smile. Isn’t he just a living example of treating it as a fruit?

He Wenyu looked at the green leaves of the Phoenix Fruit on his phone, hesitated for a moment, and turned to Luo Qianqian, ”Should I eat the leaves too?”

”...Got nothing better to do? And did you even wash it?” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes unceremoniously and asked, ”Not to mention whether it works, aren’t you afraid of eating something dirty and getting a stomachache?”

”Are you an idiot? Who uses pesticide on fruit nowadays? It’s naturally pollution-free, okay? Wipe it off and eat, alright?” He Wenyu’s face was full of disdain, shaking his head helplessly.

As for parasites? Forgive her, but she hasn’t even seen caterpillars, let alone other bugs.

Luo Qianqian was momentarily speechless, feeling that He Wenyu made a good point, but still put it away without intending to eat.

”Since it’s so good, I’ll save it for when I feel like I’m about to die, and maybe luck will be on my side.” Luo Qianqian explained playfully to He Wenyu’s surprised look.

He Wenyu just felt this person was a bit too whimsical.

After explaining the fruit’s function to everyone, Mo asked An Hao to return to his room. Looking at the fruit in his hand, he found it amusing.

This sought-after black market item just ended up in his hands? It’s almost unbelievable, right?

The Nine Heavens Pavilion is a treasury in every sense! Not every place can have a phoenix, since such divine beasts should only exist in the Divine Realm, right?

Although you can’t see them here, in his family’s domain, it’s possible to communicate with the Divine Realm...

Gazing at the moon, he took a deep breath and stashed away the Phoenix Fruit. With this, he was confident he could secure the recognition of the family.

Even his brother likely wouldn’t be a match.

Indeed, this Saintess is truly a goddess of luck.

Smirking slightly, he turned back to his room.

Meanwhile, Luo Qianqian was busy changing An Hao’s clothes, not forgetting to give him a bath and brush his teeth, ”An Hao, who cut your hair? Why does it look like it was chewed by dogs?”

”Not dogs, wolves.” An Hao’s small face was full of resignation, ”It was Xiao Tian’s doing, then my brother gave it a couple of snips, and now it’s like this.” Seeing the uneven hair, An Hao didn’t mind, since he usually tied it up anyway, so no one really saw it.

”Hahaha...” Tantan laughed heartily looking at An Hao’s hairstyle, ”Just like when Jiayou cut Nianan’s hair.”

Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu recalled how Lin Nianan’s hair was cut in patches—supposedly because it was hot—and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Annoyed, An Hao looked at Tantan and said, ”Little girl, stop talking and go to sleep!”

”Who taught you to be so rude?” Luo Qianqian looked curious, as no one in the house would talk to An Hao like that. Calling someone a ’little girl’... he clearly looked like a sturdy boy, didn’t he?

”...Just those little rascals, but they don’t dare bully me, no need to worry, sister.” An Hao proudly boasted as if showing off something, ”I give them snacks, and they all call me Boss.”

”Using benefits to buy people, they’ll leave you for profits in the future,” He Wenyu couldn’t help but say, ”You should learn more from Tantan, look how well-behaved she is, all the adults like her.”

”I don’t need all the adults to like me, as long as sister likes me,” he said, standing up to kiss Luo Qianqian, who was styling his hair, then happily sat beside her, ”Sister, no matter how naughty I am, you’ll like me. Unlike you guys, you only like kids who suck up to you.”

He Wenyu and Tantan, feeling unjustly accused, said, ”...”

Luo Qianqian was amused and helpless, ”If you’re a brat, I won’t like you.”

”Don’t worry, sister, I’m not a brat,” An Hao firmly patted his chest, ”I’m mom’s kid.”

Luo Qianqian was speechless.

”Yes, you’re mom’s kid.” She said, looking helplessly at He Wenyu, ”Then Tantan sleeps with you, An Hao with me.”

”No problem,” He Wenyu chuckled, ”Except for you, anyone else dealing with him sees a brat.”

An Hao’s eyes drifted, seemingly unaware of what a ’brat’ means. He was merely pretending to be clueless...

”Sister Shiliu, tell me a story. I want to hear Snow White...” Tantan obediently lay down, showing no sign of mischief and spoke gently.

Hearing Tantan, An Hao hummed, ”Typical kid stuff. Come, sister, I’ll tell you the story of Huiyeji.”

Luo Qianqian lay down, stunned that her brother could actually tell stories?

He Wenyu was also taken aback, ”Let’s all listen to An Hao’s story together, shall we?”

”Okay.” Tantan was easy-going.

”A long, long time ago, there was a grandpa and a grandma...”

An Hao didn’t speak loudly, yet everyone could hear him.

However...

”How long ago is long ago? What kind of grandpa and grandma?” Tantan asked.

An Hao was exasperated, wondering why kids have so many questions.

”A hundred years ago, there were a kind but poor grandma and grandpa, with patched clothing, yet very diligent and kind,” An Hao felt sometimes kids were truly annoying, ”They had no children, but were content together, even praying to the heavens for a child...”

”Why didn’t they have children? Couldn’t they go out and get one?” Tantan continued.

Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu were falling apart, trying not to laugh...

”Couldn’t have kids! Infertility! Reproductive isolation! Too old! You go out and get me a child then?!” An Hao felt this little girl was more annoying than the kids who bullied the weak!
