Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1290 - 1270: Courting Death

The three people didn’t go back to their original place; instead, they found a random spot to hang out. Luo Qianqian casually created two waterballs, washing her hair, face, and hands.

Yan reached into the waterball in front of him, slightly frowning, "He seems to still have the Original Yang Body, but there seems to be something extremely Yang inside his body."

"Pfft, you can tell that just by looking?" Luo Qianqian was full of disbelief.

"It’s easy. He’s like the Original Yang, but Silverfur isn’t." Yan pointed at Huangfu Yihui with a calm expression.

Luo Qianqian blinked, full of excitement and gossip, "How did you see that? Teach me!" She had heard things like analyzing by the way people walk or by looking at their legs, but she never paid attention because she never experienced it herself and always thought it was just talk.

Yan revealed a mysterious smile, "It’s a secret."

Luo Qianqian sighed, feigning a melancholic look at Yan, "Is this how you treat others?"

"If you want to know, just ask me." After washing his hands, Yan chuckled and took out wine, starting to drink in broad daylight.

Of course, he was drinking diluted wine, just with a little less water added this time.

Luo Qianqian wasn’t one to part with wine easily, but Old Master Luo was quite generous to those who saved him. Yan had a great time drinking at the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

"Are you?" Luo Qianqian asked, gossip all over her face, blinking. "You didn’t budge before female charms, so I thought if you’re not bent, you must have seen someone more beautiful and hence have no interest, or you are truly devoid of desires?"

"How could someone really be devoid of desires? Wanting longevity is a desire too, isn’t it?" Yan glanced at gossip-ridden Luo Qianqian and shook his head gently, "Instead of being devoid of desires for eternity, I’d prefer to live a carefree hundred years of life."

"That’s also not bad." Luo Qianqian fell silent for a moment and suddenly understood her mother a bit.

But why, after understanding, does she feel like crying?

"Living for a long time means witnessing your family, friends, even your descendants leaving one by one. At that time, maybe it’s really hard to feel sad if you’re devoid of desires?" Huangfu Yihui nodded, smiling as he spoke to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian was taken aback. Perhaps that is why she feels sadness in her heart?

It was because of her whim that she brought all her family members here, even forcing them to cultivate, and she doesn’t know if that’s what they truly wanted.

Wasn’t Grandpa just a slightly stern old man back then? His greatest hobby was bickering and playing chess with his three taels of friends, but over the years, their relationship was not as good as before.

Now, under the watchful eyes of his juniors, striving for longevity, is he really happy?

Are Mom and Dad really happy?

Dad did so much for her and still has to clean up her mess moreover he can’t meet grandparents, she couldn’t bring herself to be unfeeling about that.

Though one can live comfortably without work here, idle family gossip is plenty and it’s all coming from her own family.

Saying she’s closer to Grandpa’s family, who knows how hurt Mom would feel hearing that?

How happy they were back then!

Yan shook the glass wine bottle in his hand, sounding a satisfied burp and laughed strangely, saying with a meaningful voice, "Shiqi, it’s better to look at the here and now instead of overthinking. The future isn’t something you can control."

Luo Qianqian nearly lost control of her facial expression; her heart was pounding as she pursed her lips, looking at Yan, frowning, and wondering: How does Yan know what she’s thinking? For a moment, she almost thought Yan knew all her thoughts.

Yan was silent for a while, then looked past Luo Qianqian at something behind her, a smile flickering in his eyes.

Luo Qianqian followed her line of sight and turned around, unexpectedly seeing a scratched face. A little black cat deftly jumped into her arms from a tree.

Since pets weren’t allowed in the arena, Luo Qianqian let the little black cat roam free, letting it play on its own. It wandered around but always came back at the right time.

Chen Yao watched the three sitting in front of them, his mouth agape, and when they turned to face him, he was so surprised that he almost fell, angrily pointing at Luo Qianqian, "You let that beast hurt me? You’d better hand it over, and I’ll let bygones be bygones, or else!"

"Or else what?" Luo Qianqian gazed at him indifferently, gently stroking the black cat while feeding it beef pellets, clearly rewarding it.

"Or else? After I marry you, I’ll make you into Beauty Oil!" Chen Yao’s eyes carried a sinister glint, "You’d better obey me, and I’ll pamper you a bit."

Luo Qianqian was both annoyed and amused, although she didn’t know what exactly Beauty Oil was, she was sure it wasn’t a good thing.

Maybe it was the corpse oil made from beauties that were said to be beauty enhancers?

Luo Qianqian was momentarily unsure whether to be happy or angry, happy that she was considered a beauty and angry that she was regarded as a corpse while still alive. Did they really take her, Luo Shiqi, as an ordinary little girl?

"Yan, give me something." Luo Qianqian turned her head and smiled at Yan, "The reward is a bottle of wine."

"Deal." Yan tossed a Jade Vase to Luo Qianqian with a smile, "Take it easy."

Luo Qianqian nodded. If she hadn’t run out of stock, using ’Phoenix Seeking Phoenix’ would be much more fun than these pills, wouldn’t it?

She swooped in quickly, closing the gap from several meters to face-to-face in an instant, opened the Jade Vase in her hand, poured the pills into Chen Yao’s mouth, then kicked him, retreating rapidly out of a safe range.

Yan spat out the wine he was drinking, "You poured them all in?"

"No..." Luo Qianqian shook the Jade Vase and replied seriously.

"That’s good," Yan sighed in relief, "That pill is quite potent, with a bit of serpent’s... hehe."

Luo Qianqian’s face froze, she tossed the Jade Vase back to Yan, hurriedly cleaned her hands, and only then did she look at Chen Yao, who didn’t seem to react much, appearing just as puzzled.

But as Yan held the Jade Vase, he subconsciously shook it and was dumbfounded, "Shiqi, a bottle of five pills, and there’s only one left?"

No hesitation in Luo Qianqian’s eyes, "Yes, didn’t eat them all."

"...He’s really unlucky," Yan was stunned for a long time before shaking his head with a light smile, without any tension on his face, "Let’s go, what happens next is not suitable for minors."
