The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 482: Chapter 482: The Three Little Zaizais Fell Asleep

King of Film Xu: “Think of some way to soothe him; if he keeps crying, his voice is going to go hoarse.”

Gu Yixing walked in, saw Little Steamed Bun crying, sighed, picked up the child, swayed him, then lifted him high.

Little Steamed Bun: “…”

Seeing him as if he were scared silly, Gu Yixing furrowed his brow: “Shouldn’t other children be happy when lifted up high?”

Cheng Lu hurriedly took the child back, seeing Little Steamed Bun’s pitiful appearance, muttered: “Maybe he’s afraid of heights?”

Little Steamed Bun “waahed” louder, crying even more intensely.

Gu Yixing touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty: “I thought it would work to comfort him, I didn’t expect it to be useless.”

King of Film Xu: “Not only was it useless, but it also backfired.”

Xiao Lingzhi pressed her hands firmly over her ears: “He must be the reincarnation of Lei Zhenzi, right? It’s not just raining, but thundering too!”

Little Taotie, bewildered: “Who is Lei Zhenzi?”

Doubt filled Xiao Lingzhi’s eyes: “You don’t even know who Lei Zhenzi is?”

Little Taotie nodded.

Xiao Lingzhi sighed: “I told you about Zhuge Liang yesterday, so today I’ll tell you about Lei Zhenzi!”

“Lei Zhenzi is one of the mythological characters in ‘The Investiture of the Gods,’ a descendant of the Heavenly Thunder General Star, shrouded in mystery! Upon his appearance, thunder roars and lightning flashes, hence the name Lei Zhenzi!”

“He accidentally ate two of his master Yun Zhongzi’s immortal apricots, resulting in his face turning as blue as indigo, his hair like cinnabar, his eyes bulging fiercely, and sharp teeth sprouting from his mouth beyond his lips!”

Little Taotie with an admiring face: “You know so many idioms, I can’t even understand them.”

“Uh! I forgot you haven’t started school yet!” Xiao Lingzhi sighed: “Let me explain, he ate two immortal apricots, the fruit, you know?”

Little Taotie nodded.

“After eating them, his face turned blue, his hair turned red, his eyes bulged out, and his teeth grew long, long enough to extend beyond his lips!”

Little Taotie covered his little mouth, eyes widened in terror: “After eating the immortals’ apricots, not only did he not become more beautiful, but he turned into a monster!”

Cheng Lu, who had been soothing Little Steamed Bun, noticed that Little Steamed Bun had gradually stopped crying, his big eyes filled with curiosity as he looked towards Xiao Lingzhi and Little Taotie, as if he were eavesdropping on the story Xiao Lingzhi was telling.

All the stories Xiao Lingzhi’s grandpa told her were local tales, such as ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms,’ ‘The Investiture of the Gods,’ and the like, never about Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

As a result, at a young age, Xiao Lingzhi had already heard all four classic novels, even to the point of getting calluses on her ears from listening so often, and could recite them from memory with ease.

Seeing that Little Steamed Bun had stopped crying, Cheng Lu put him back on the bed, and Little Steamed Bun quickly crawled next to Xiao Lingzhi, lying down obediently to listen to the story.

The night deepened, Xiao Lingzhi’s voice grew softer, and Little Taotie and Little Steamed Bun had already fallen asleep, until finally Xiao Lingzhi put herself to sleep as well.

Cheng Lu, King of Film Xu, and Gu Yixing looked at each other and collectively sighed in relief.

Taking care of three kids was truly difficult for the three adults who had neither married nor had kids of their own.

…

“Hehe haha…”

Little Taotie practiced the Horse Stance, swinging her fists, as the sun slowly rose and the rooster crowed.

Little Steamed Bun sat beside her, unable to practice the Horse Stance due to a foot injury, but still followed along swinging her fists, “Hehe haha…”

Xiao Lingzhi: “…”

Xiao Lingzhi yawned in vexation: “This isn’t as interesting as learning taekwondo, practicing the Horse Stance and swinging fists every day, so boring!”

Little Taotie looked at her, didn’t stop, and continued “Hehe haha…”

After completing a hundred punches and finishing the set, Little Taotie exhaled deeply, then turned to Xiao Lingzhi with a serious young face: “Hua Country’s kung fu is the most powerful!”
