Chapter 1321: Caught in the Crossfire
gerous place last time was best brought to show respect to her ancestor."Master, these spirit plants are all level one or two. I can find them myself."Ripple said confidently."Well, since I've taken y...Li'an didn't really care about what happened in Xinyuan's lower realm. After being a god for so long, one would want to take a turn down there. If they couldn't keep their true heart, they would definitely cause trouble, leading to karma, and then constantly cleaning up after themselves.
In ripples' opinion, these immortals are just too idle. They make trouble for themselves and close-door cultivation to improve their cultivation wouldn't be more enjoyable Why go through all this hassle
But sometimes things just don't go as planned. The next day, Lianyi was summoned by the Immortal Official and went to the Hall of Life and Death.
When Lian'i met the Immortal Lord Si Ming, she realized that he, like her, had a look of unspoken understanding in his eyes. However, he still maintained the demeanor of an Immortal Lord, instructing Xin Yuan on the precautions for their mortal realm training.
Ripple waited for a while before it was her turn. She looked at the Immortal Lord of Fate, waiting for him to speak.
"Fairy of Matchmaking, this lord wishes to send a descendant of heaven to the mortal realm. However, there are some unforeseen circumstances, so I need your guidance."
Ripple was startled for a moment, then nodded. She took a red cord from her wrist and tied it to Xin Yuan's wrist. Then, she said with a smile:
"This is red string, when you meet your destined person, the red string will actively wrap around their wrist, and the rest you should know what to do."
Thank you, Fairy of Love.
Xin Yuan bowed his thanks, and the red string disappeared into his wrist.
Ripple completed the task and stood beside the Immortal Jun of Life, waiting for him to activate the Wheel of Destiny.
The Immortal Emperor of Destiny's signature artifact was the Wheel of Fate. At this moment, he waved his sleeve and released it, causing it to hover in mid-air before slowly beginning to spin. The Immortal Emperor turned to Xin Yuan and said:
"Your Highness, are you ready"
"Ready."
"Then I shall send you to the underworld."
After Si Ming finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and sent Xin Yuan into the Wheel of Destiny.
Seeing the other party disappear, Lianyi was about to bid farewell to Siming when a flash of pink light suddenly crashed into the Wheel of Fate, right after Xinyuan.
The official's face darkened, and after pinching his fingers to calculate, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Qīng Rǎn, this fool, dared to disrupt Xīn Yuán's predetermined destiny. How can this be good!"
The next instant, the incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor appeared in the Hall of Life and Destiny, his tone was bad as he said:
“Master of Fate, I sense that Xin Yuan’s journey to the mortal realm will be fraught with great peril. What is going on”
"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, it is Qing Ran Fairy. She forcefully inserted herself into Xin Yuan Tian Sun's destiny. Now, the two have entered the mortal realm, and I am powerless."
Then send someone to assist him and help Xin Yuan complete his training.
The Heavenly Emperor immediately said, this is his own heir, of course, there can be no problem.
Ripple tried her best to minimize her presence, feeling like she was about 80% likely to get caught in the wave.
As expected, the next second, the Heavenly Emperor waved his sleeve and swept the ripples into reincarnation.
Since Xin Yuan was destined for that fated romance, the Fairy of Matchmaking should be troubled to help the Celestial Desendant in the mortal realm.
Her eyes rolled heavenward in her heart, but her body uncontrollably transformed into a crimson light, following Qing Ran and entering the Wheel of Destiny.
When all the others had descended, the Heavenly Emperor then addressed Si Ming:
"You did great, now just leave the rest to them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The God of Destiny performed a bow, put away his divine artifact, and then closed the Hall of Destiny. He announced to the outside world that he would be entering seclusion.
Ripples transformed into escaping light and fell into an ordinary peasant's home, then were born amidst a sky of red.
"Congratulations to the household, a baby girl has been born. The child is healthy and beautiful. You will be blessed in the future."
The midwife cradled Ripples and announced the good news to the farmer who was waiting outside the door.
The man excitedly rubbed his hands together, just about to scoop up the baby in the swaddling clothes, when a sharp and sarcastic voice cut through the air:
"It's just a chick flick, what's there to be happy about She had a losing bet with her first child, what bad luck!"
"Madam, as the saying goes, flowers bloom before fruits. With your elder sister protecting her younger brother in the future, this is very auspicious. You shouldn't be disheartened and make things difficult for yourself."
The midwife sees this kind of mother-in-law who favors sons over daughters all the time, and she despises them deeply. She herself is a woman, yet she looks down on women so much, and it's unclear where she gets this sense of superiority. They are just an ordinary peasant family with only a few acres of thin farmland. You would think they had an imperial throne to inherit the way they act.
The man had reached adulthood and turned to his mother, saying:
"Mother, Wang Po is right, I like this child."
He grinned, baring his teeth, as if expressing his fondness.
Unfortunately, the ripples couldn't see anything. But she understood the conversations from the outside world, and felt that her vacation this time was really bumpy.
The old woman also realized that there was a stranger in the house, so she didn't say anything more. Unwillingly, she paid the delivery fee and turned to go back to her own room without any intention of preparing for confinement at all.
"Big Mountain, go to my mother's house and announce the good news. By the way, ask my mother to come and take care of me during my confinement."
The frail woman lying in bed gritted her teeth and said.
She is Lian's biological mother, whose name is Zhuang Sisi. She used to be a maidservant in a wealthy family in Fucheng, but she signed a contract for a fixed term and returned to the village after earning enough money. There she married a suitable match, which is Liudashan who just spoke up to defend her.
The Liu family has three sons and one daughter. Liu Dashan is the eldest son, a simple and honest farmer who is very hardworking and the main source of income for the family. Liu Dachu is the second son, newly married with no children yet. The youngest son, Liu Dahu, is unmarried and works odd jobs in town to make a living.
The youngest daughter is Liu Pingping, the most favored by Madam Liu. She lives a life of ease at home, with food and clothing provided without effort. To outsiders, she claims to be skilled in embroidery, requiring her to keep her hands delicate so as not to do heavy labor. In reality, she's just lazy.
The three brothers had a big age gap with their sister, and they didn't often talk to each other. Their relationship was pretty distant, but since they lived under the same roof, they knew her personality well. Because their mother protected them all, they rarely spoke ill of each other.
This shows that Mother Liu is a hypocrite. She dotes on her own daughter, treating her like precious glass. But her daughter-in-law is just seen as a tool for continuing the lineage, an outsider who is only valuable for bearing children. As for her granddaughter, she's viewed as a liability. So from the day Ripples was born, Mother Liu took a dislike to both of them.
Facts proved that the feeling of ripples was right. After her confinement period, when mother-in-law Zhuang Si Si's mother-in-law left the Liu family, Liu's mother began to beat around the bush and hint at Zhuang Si Si going to work, completely disregarding the fact that she still had a nursing baby to care for.
The ripples couldn't bear the demonic sounds penetrating their ears, so they used a little trick. As soon as the other party started scolding, they would inevitably trip and fall, flat on their face, for no apparent reason.
The old woman, Liu, kept acting this way for several days. Every time she opened her mouth to curse someone, she'd fall and eat dirt. She even chipped two of her front teeth.
Old Li roared angrily:
"Can you please be quiet You've scared away the good fortune of the Liu family with your words. This is heaven punishing you, so just shut up!"
"Tsk! I was scolding that lazy good-for-nothing son of mine... Ouch!"
Before Old Willow Woman could finish cursing, she tripped again. This time, her forehead slammed into the stone mill in the courtyard, and she fainted instantly. Blood splattered everywhere, causing chaos in the Willow household. Meanwhile, Lianyi slept peacefully.beloved, so when her daughter explained her intentions, she didn't hesitate and brought a small bag with her.The main reason is that he simply didn't want to see his eldest daughter-in-law's face. She...
