Sueños Florales en la Ciudad

Capítulo 291

Suddenly, Madam Wan said, "Huihui, wait a minute!"

Zhu Huihui tilted her head and asked, "Madam... what is it?"

Previously, she had always felt an overwhelming affection for Mr. Chen and Mrs. Wan, partly because they were gentle and loving towards her, which filled her with gratitude, and partly because of their natural blood ties. But now, knowing that they were actually her biological parents, she felt awkward and didn't even know how to interact with them.

Madam Wan said, "Grey Grey, do you still remember how that lecherous fiend died back in Qingfengya?"

Zhu Huihui thought for a moment and then understood, saying, "He...he was poisoned to death by my blood!" That lecherous bastard had been licking her blood...

That was just a drop of blood on the needle, yet it turned the evil spirit to ashes in the wind. Just how potent was the poison in her body? She looked at the bright red liquid in the cup and shuddered. So much blood—if the hero were to drink it…

Yu Xiaoyao didn't say anything, only gave a slight cold laugh.

Zhu Huihui stared at her for a long time before finally making up her mind: "My mother wouldn't lie to me!"

Although she spoke loudly, she was actually quite unsure of herself. Damn it! Hadn't she lied to herself enough? So she added, "Right, hero?"

Feng Xuese smiled and hummed in agreement, then drank the blood in the cup in one gulp.

He wasn't convinced that Yu Xiaoyao wouldn't lie to Zhu Huihui; he was gambling. Although Yu Xiaoyao acted wickedly and ruthlessly, and often beat and scolded Huihui, she was actually quite indulgent towards her. He was betting on that rare glimmer of humanity in Yu Xiaoyao!

Did he win or lose the bet?

Although Zhu Huihui's blood wasn't sweet, it wasn't unpleasant to drink either. Feng Xuese, though she had never drunk human blood before, knew that normal human blood shouldn't taste like that. That was naturally because Huihui's blood was poisonous.

Remembering what Yu Xiaoyao had said—that Huihui might not live past twenty—he felt an overwhelming sadness. Just then, he felt a chill spreading from his stomach outwards. He shivered and quickly closed his eyes, guiding the chill through his meridians. Before long, his eyes felt fine, but his limbs gradually regained strength…

The little fish demon said that many poisons in the world have no antidote, because the antidote is the poison itself—Grey's blood's ability to counteract poison is so fast, the poison in her body... is indeed powerful!

Everyone stared intently at him, and when they saw a smile appear on Feng Xuese's handsome face, they finally felt relieved.

Zhu Huihui exclaimed in delight, "Mother, the hero smiled!"

When Yu Xiaoyao first heard Huihui say, "My mother wouldn't lie to me," she was already overjoyed, having already humiliated Wan Ning. She immediately laughed and said, "What is this little poison compared to the poison in your body? If the poison in your body is second in the world, then I'm afraid no poison would dare to claim to be number one! Hehe! Let him slowly guide his true energy to expel the poison. When the poison reaches his eyes and the two poisons meet, then naturally the stronger one will win!"

This sounded like a compliment, but Zhu Huihui felt uneasy: "Mother, are you saying that my flesh and blood will kill someone who isn't poisoned, but can cure illness and remove the poison if eaten by someone who is poisoned?"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Simply put, that's the principle!"

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?"
