The useless second daughter of the Hua family

"This Tiger Brother or Bird Brother..."

Hua Miaomiao spoke cautiously, but Pi Fu glared at her, and she instantly stopped talking and shrank back timidly. Wang Chao received Pi Fu's signal and pulled Hua Miaomiao behind him, blocking her tightly.

Xiuzhu took on the responsibility of being the eldest brother, standing in the front, and asked politely and distantly: "I wonder why you are here today?"

The tiger-eating beast looked away with a bit of disappointment. He had come here today for business, and meeting Hua Miaomiao was really an accident. His intuition was right, and it was really fun to be around her. He had lived too long, and his life was really boring. But there was still a long way to go, so he should get down to business first.

"Recently, someone has been hunting down the monsters that came out of the secret realm. Considering that we know each other, I was originally going to come and warn Wangchao, but now it seems that I was worrying too much. With your cultivation, there is no need to be wary of those people."

"Do you know who the other party is?" Wangchao suddenly asked. Thinking of the experience in the green mountains, he had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't want it to be true.

"He was just a guard who wanted to be the master but he became a clown."

The tiger-eating beast seemed to know the inside story, and its eyes were full of contempt.

When everyone heard this, they realized there was a story behind it. Feeling Hua Miaomiao's eager gaze, Xiuzhu raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"If you don't mind, why don't you come inside and take a rest for a while."

The tiger-eating beast also wanted to make friends with everyone, so he didn't refuse and followed them into the house.

Xiaoyu served a pot of hot tea to everyone. Yu Yao protected Wangchao and Hua Miaomiao, and sat in the corner with a vigilant look on his face.

The tiger-eating beast looked at Wangchao, who looked unhappy, and dropped a bombshell in the first sentence he spoke.

"You know this person too?"

Looking at the tide, he understood clearly, "It is indeed the Yuan River."

"The one who did it was the girl next to him. The one who was with you last time."

"Who are you talking about?" Wangchao heard it clearly, but he didn't want to believe it. Yu Yao looked at him worriedly, afraid that he couldn't bear the blow.

"He's about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he's quite good-looking, but unfortunately he has a scar on his face."

Hua Miaomiao thought to herself, oh no, it really is Ji Hanyan.

"Wangchao, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm the one who hurt her, I have to rescue her."

Wang Chao figured it out in a short time. He remembered Ji Hanyan's oath, and with her personality, she would definitely keep it. Ji Hanyan was trying to save him and Yu Yao, so he couldn't just leave it alone.

There was determination in his eyes, and he looked much more energetic.

"Um...Brother Tiger? Brother Bird?" Hua Miaomiao was struggling over how to address him.

"So, how about giving me a name?"

"Then let's go with Shihu. Shi for stone, Hu for tiger. How do you think?"

"..."

The room was completely silent. Pi Fu secretly laughed in her heart. She could almost see the chapped expression on the tiger-eating beast's face. Served it right!

Tiger-eating beast, no, it should be called stone tiger now. Although he was not very satisfied, he reluctantly accepted the name.

"Shi Hu." Hua Miaomiao called him, and Shi Hu looked up in response.

"You seem to know a lot about Yuan He. And what does the gatekeeper you just mentioned mean? Tell us about it."

Shi Hu's eyes were blurry as he searched for memories in his mind. Living too long is a bit troublesome.

A long time ago, the Xumi Secret Realm was just a natural place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It had neither barriers nor anything special.

A fairy passed by and accidentally discovered this beautiful place. She would come and sit here occasionally when she felt like it.

One day, a Taoist priest was fighting with a monster. Both sides were evenly matched and suffered heavy casualties.

The immortal intervened to quell the fight, locked the man and the beast in a barrier, and told them not to come out unless they made peace.

Such a willful immortal is rare in life.

The two gradually faced the reality and had no choice but to compromise.

A fairy, a man and a beast, they gradually became friends.

Later, the Taoist left, opened up the mountain and founded Cangcui Mountain.

Monsters have always been solitary and have no fixed place to live, so they simply stayed in the barrier.

They would occasionally have a small gathering. The immortal loved to raise some small things, but there was a jealous person in her family, so she could only send all the things she rescued and picked up here, and the Taoist priest would help take care of them.

Gradually, there were more and more rare birds and animals inside.

After a long time, the immortal stopped coming and the Taoist passed away. The monster lost interest in living. He chose to disperse his cultivation. Perhaps because of the abundant spiritual energy in the barrier, he did not die, but turned back to his childhood form and fell into a deep sleep.

Several years later, groups of cultivators entered the secret realm for training, and the monsters discovered that the barrier of the secret realm had been artificially altered, allowing entry but not exit, and that other things were suppressed in the center of the secret realm.

This was contrary to the immortal's original intention, but he had no choice due to his limited abilities.

Until Hua Miaomiao appeared, although she destroyed the secret realm, she also saved countless lives.

Hearing this, Hua Miaomiao weakly raised her hand to indicate, "Well, I didn't destroy the secret realm."

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.

Xiuzhu pondered for a moment and asked:

"So, it was Yuan He who changed the barrier?"

"He has only two disciples. Based on Yuan He's current understanding of the monsters in the secret realm, I think it should be him."

Pi Fu nodded in agreement.

"This Yuan He is going crazy in his quest for immortality, using any means necessary."

It was rare for Pi Fu to be so cynical. She looked at Xiu Zhu and said seriously:

"Xiuzhu, we have to stop him. We can't let him continue to destroy lives."

"it is good."

Xiuzhu understood what Pifu was thinking. In fact, from that story, Xiuzhu had already guessed who the immortal was. Sister had a good relationship with the first generation leader of Cangcui Mountain, and Pifu was also from Cangcui Mountain. But he didn't expect that Sister's temporary kindness would be taken advantage of.

This person must not be let go.

Shi Hu once possessed Wang Chao's heart, and with him assisting Wang Chao in healing his wounds, the effect was twice as good with half the effort.

So everyone accepted him warmly.

Shi Hu didn't care, he didn't care about wasting his cultivation. He had been lonely for too long.

Hua Miaomiao's accident was unexpected. She was fine before going to bed, but soon after falling asleep, she started talking nonsense and could not be woken up no matter how hard people called her. She was completely possessed.

Perhaps the story of the secret place evoked Hua Miaomiao's memories. In that place, she completely lost Ge Qinglan.

In her dream, she saw Ge Qinglan with a head full of white snow, looking at her with a smile, and then disappearing from her sight little by little.

She called out "Ge Qinglan"'s name over and over again, her voice hoarse and shrill.

Xiaoyu was so anxious that she burst into tears. She held Hua Miaomiao's hand and kept calling her.

Pi Fu tried various methods but to no avail. If it wasn't necessary, she wouldn't dare to try soul searching. After all, she didn't have the level of cultivation as Tao Yao.

"Get out of your way."

Mr. Zhu woke up at some point and came to Hua Miaomiao. Xiaoyu, perhaps convinced by his firm tone, actually gave up her seat for him.

Mr. Zhu carefully lifted Hua Miaomiao up and let her lean against his chest. He held her carefully, as if she were a treasure.

"Miaomiao, don't be afraid, I'm here." He whispered in her ear affectionately.

Xiaoyu looked embarrassed, her eyes avoided and her ears turned red from burning.

Hua Miaomiao seemed to have heard what Mr. Zhu said. She stopped being hysterical and started sobbing softly.

"Don't go, please, stay with me." She held Mr. Zhu's hand tightly, repeating it over and over again, fearing that he would disappear again if she let go.

Mr. Zhu let her hold one hand and gently patted her arm with the other hand, as if he was coaxing a child.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay with you. Miaomiao, go to sleep, okay?"

"Okay..." Hua Miaomiao responded faintly, and gradually fell asleep.

After Hua Miaomiao fell asleep, Pi Fu signaled Mr. Zhu to follow her out.

Mr. Zhu showed up at the perfect time, taking advantage of Hua Miaomiao's most vulnerable moment. No matter what his purpose was, she didn't want Hua Miaomiao to get hurt again.

"Thank you for your care before."

Pi Fu was interrupted by him and was at a loss for words for a moment.

"It's okay. I couldn't help."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Mr. Zhu took the initiative to ask considerately, "Miss, does she have something to say?"

Pi Fu also asked straightforwardly, "What do you mean by Hua Miaomiao?"

"Just as the girl guessed."

"Did you know that she is married?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I just hope she's well, that's enough."

"This is true."

"Absolutely no lies."
