Sueños Florales en la Ciudad

Capítulo 135

Zhu Huihui cursed, "What kind of mother are you? Have you raised me into a poisonous ginseng?"

Yu Xiaoyao said, "What's wrong with that? You've never been sick, big or small, since you were little, and you've never been near insects, moths, snakes, or ants. That's all thanks to your mother!"

Zhu Huihui stared at her and said, "Mother, you raised me into a poisonous ginseng, I'm afraid it wasn't just to get revenge on Master and Madam, was it?"

Yu Xiaoyao laughed and asked, "Why else?"

Zhu Huihui pulled up her sleeve and pointed to the pattern on her right arm: "Mother, what is this?"

On its dirty little arm, the fiery red bird, seemingly growing from the depths of its skin, clung to the thorns, its neck outstretched in a triumphant song, blood dripping from its wounds, its eyes filled with tragedy and despair…

Yu Xiaoyao glanced at it and said, "A silly bird!"

"Pah! What an idiot!" Zhu Huihui said, "You drew it on my arm, didn't you?"

"yes!"

Why did you draw this on my arm?

Yu Xiaoyao said nonchalantly, "Just drawing for fun!"

Zhu Huihui was so angry that her hair stood on end. She held back for a while and said, "I heard that this kind of bird is born to find a tree with sharp thorns. Once it finds one, it lets the thorns pierce its chest and sings while bleeding. After it finishes singing, it kicks the bucket, right?"

“Yes!” said Yu Xiaoyao, “Doing something so foolish, what else could it be but a stupid bird?”

"I'm this stupid bird, aren't I?" Zhu Huihui said angrily. "You...you raised me just so I'd end up like this bird, and when I'm almost done, you'd eat all my flesh and drink all my blood, and then use that to cure your own poison, right?"

Brother Liuyue said that this bird lives a very miserable and tragic life. At first, he didn't understand what it meant, but now he finally understands that it lives only to fulfill the legend of others with its own blood and flesh in the end.

Yu Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? You could even guess that? When did you become so smart?"

Everyone who heard this was utterly astonished. So, Yu Xiaoyao raised Zhu Huihui to cure her poison, and after being exposed, she didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed. Such a vicious and shameless woman was truly astonishing.

Zhu Huihui almost fainted from anger!

She finally understood why Liu Yue was always interested in the pattern on her arm. It turned out that Liu Yue really was the child in the story! And the woman with the child was none other than her own heartless mother, Yu Xiaoyao!

A sudden thought struck her; she seemed to have remembered something, but upon closer examination, she couldn't quite grasp it. She simply felt a nameless fear, and involuntarily trembled, though she didn't know what she was afraid of.

Zhu Huihui pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out. She caught a glimpse of Yu Xiaoyao's gloating expression and was instantly enraged. She threw aside the faint fear in her heart and shouted, "You old hag! I'll make you eat me! I'll fight you to the death!" She lunged forward with her fists and started hitting her—don't blame her for being so disobedient and unfilial, it was all taught to her by Yu Xiaoyao!

Yu Xiaoyao dodged, then shrieked, "Hey! I was just thinking that, we haven't eaten yet!"

Zhu Huihui angrily retorted, "That's because... because you wanted to wait until the fruit was ripe before you ate it!"

She lunged forward, trying to grab Yu Xiaoyao's face, but how could she compare to Yu Xiaoyao in terms of skill? Her attacks were full of flaws, and Yu Xiaoyao could easily knock her down with just a single finger. Mr. Chen and Mrs. Wan seemed to have already imagined the scene of this stupid child being beaten, and they both closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch.

Fortunately, the little fish demon felt guilty and only dodged without fighting back, shouting, "What's your hurry! In the past fifteen years, I've been on the verge of death several times, and I haven't bitten you once. Haven't I wronged you?"

In the small room, amidst the commotion, the two passed each other.

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly glided away, laughing heartily, and exclaimed, "Good boy! Good boy! I didn't raise you for nothing, you're just like me! Hehe!"

Zhu Huihui clenched her fists, glaring at her, but stopped chasing her: "Stop flattering me, I won't forgive you!"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled broadly: "Steamed is delicious, braised is even better, and charcoal grilling is a unique treat!"

Zhu Huihui, with a stern face, snorted and said, "You've been thinking about this for over ten years, haven't you?"

"No, no!"

The two suddenly began speaking in cryptic language, leaving onlookers bewildered. Madam Wan felt a sense of foreboding. Yu Xiaoyao was already somewhat mentally unstable; could her daughter… have she also turned her into a madwoman?

Yu Xiaoyao was in a great mood and said generously, "Otherwise, you can give me a couple of beatings to vent your anger!"

Hehe, if Chen Mobai and Wan Ning knew what Huihui just whispered in their ears, I wonder if they'd want to bang their heads against the wall and die! Having a child as cunning and ruthless as themselves, Chen Mobai and Wan Ning must be unhappy! Extremely unhappy! Haha!

Her laughter suddenly stopped, and she asked, "Grey, who told you about the design on your arm?"

Zhu Huihui was filled with rage at the thought that she had raised her only to eat her, and she didn't bother to pay any attention to her, saying, "I had a dream about it one day!"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled and said, "That boy's eyes haven't been restored yet!" Her tone was calm, but the implication was quite clear.

Zhu Huihui glared at her angrily: "You promised to cure him!"

Yu Xiaoyao stretched and said indifferently, "I'm in a bad mood and don't want to get treatment!"

Zhu Huihui glared at him, then swallowed her anger and said, "What's so special about this wretched bird? Your drawing is terrible! Brother Liuyue can tell at a glance!"

"Brother Liu Yue?" Yu Xiaoyao lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then asked again, "Who is he?"

"The son of the current Prince Xin, Prince Zhu Liuyue. He is known in the martial arts world as 'Bright Moon and Flowing Clouds'! Senior Yu, do you know him?" After saying this, Feng Xuese slowly stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for your treatment, Senior Yu!"

Zhu Huihui didn't care about settling scores with Yu Xiaoyao anymore. She stepped forward, raised her hand and waved it in front of him, and said with surprise, "Great hero, you can see now?" If she had known that drinking her blood would make the hero's eyes better, she would have let the hero take a bite sooner.

Feng Xuese smiled slightly: "It won't be that fast!"

Now, his eyes were no longer completely black; he could vaguely see blurry figures moving around. Although he still couldn't see clearly, it was already a pleasant surprise.

"Zhu Liuyue?" Yu Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then finally shook her head and said, "I don't know her!"

She turned to look at Mr. Chen and said softly, "Mo Bai, come with me now! As for this bitch—" Suddenly, she slapped Madam Wan on the head.

Zhu Huihui was shocked. She hadn't expected that after so long, her mother still hadn't forgotten to poison the madam. She screamed and tried to rush over to protect her.

A flash of light appeared before her eyes, and a sharp longsword was held horizontally above Madam Wan's head. If Yu Xiaoyao hadn't stopped in time, her palm would have struck the blade.

Feng Xuese smiled and said, "Senior Yu, please forgive me!" She bowed and sheathed her sword with great respect.
