The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Hua Miaomiao returned to the Ge family and found that the guards at the door had doubled. Among them was a familiar face, who turned out to be Xu Chang, Ge Qingcheng's close guard.

She asked him puzzledly, "Xu Chang, did something happen at home?"

"Young Madam, you are worrying too much. There is nothing wrong at home. The head of the family said that the New Year is approaching and there will be more visitors, so he ordered me to be in charge of guarding the gate."

The end of the year is approaching? Hua Miaomiao tilted her head in confusion. It was late autumn now, so there was still a long time before the end of the year.

Xu Chang seemed to have guessed her thoughts. He smiled and said to Hua Miaomiao, "The patriarch has his reasons for making such an arrangement."

Okay, it seems that I can’t get the answer from him, so I’d better go find Taoyao first.

"Have they gone out yet?"

"No, the master and the second young master have been living in Xiyuan these days."

Xiyuan? The ancestral hall? Were they really going to study the sacred land? No, she couldn't miss such an interesting thing.

"Then I'll go find them." Hua Miaomiao handed the basket to Xu Chang. "This is specially for you. Please help me distribute it to everyone. Make sure to give it to everyone in the mansion so that they can feel my love."

"Madam, I'm on duty." Xu Chang said with some embarrassment. Besides, for something like distributing things, he could just find anyone.

"It's okay. As the second young lady of the Ge family, I will allow you to leave for a while."

"..."

Xu Chang held the basket, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Hua Miaomiao patted his shoulder and went into the house.

Hua Miaomiao specially asked Pi Fu to make this pastry, which contained some magical herbs to dispel the negative energy. Yin Xuan had stayed in the Ge Mansion for a while before, and although I don't know if he is a ghost now and whether he has any influence on people, it is always safer to be on guard.

Hua Miaomiao arrived at Xiyuan. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but every time she came here, she felt particularly refreshed. Ge Qinglan once joked that the ancestors of the Ge family were particularly satisfied with this great-great-grandson's wife, so they took special care of her.

She didn't know whether it was true or not, but Hua Miaomiao still bowed through the door. Previously, she and Ge Qinglan had a fake marriage, and he found an excuse to skip the ancestor worship. Later, the two of them got together, and too many things happened, so she hadn't officially entered here.

Without the Ge family to lead the way, she couldn't just rush in. She just stood outside the door and looked inside, but didn't see the two brothers.

"That's weird, didn't they say they came in...Ah!!!"

As a burst of light came from the main wall of the house, Hua Miaomiao was pulled into the house by an invisible force and passed through the wall among a pile of tablets.

"Ouch!" Hua Miaomiao fell to the ground and looked up to see Ge Qingcheng looking at her in shock.

"Hey, brother." She smiled awkwardly.

Ge Qingcheng looked at Hua Miaomiao who suddenly appeared, and the tightly sealed wall behind her, wondering how she got in. There was a secret passage under the futon, but the entrance was definitely not in this position. Thinking about it, he felt relieved again. Tao Yao was not an ordinary person. Maybe he gave her something to teleport.

"You always seem to appear in some unexpected ways, surprising people." He teased as he helped her up.

"Brother!" Hua Miaomiao said angrily. "Where are the others?"

"Here, over there!"

Hua Miaomiao looked in the direction of his finger and found Tao Yao in the pool not far from them. The basement was too dark, and she didn't know what he was groping for in the water. He looked so serious that he didn't even notice Hua Miaomiao's arrival.

Ge Qingcheng took her over and explained to him: "The water is the sacred soil."

Hua Miaomiao leaned over to take a look. In the golden lotus bowl, everything was pitch black. Tao Yao was trying to take it out, but as soon as he put his hand down, his five fingers went in without any resistance. The mud seemed to be melted and he couldn't hold it at all. This thing was actually liquid?

"Why not take out the basin together?" Hua Miaomiao asked puzzledly.

Tao Yao turned around immediately after hearing her voice. He was stunned at first, then turned back and looked at Ge Qingcheng reproachfully. The situation here was unclear, and he shouldn't have brought Hua Miaomiao in rashly.

Unfortunately, Ge Qingcheng didn't look at him. He was explaining to Hua Miaomiao that the two brothers had misunderstood each other due to some strange combination of circumstances.

"This sacred soil may not look big, but it is very heavy. We cannot take it out with the basin. It is also very flexible. It cannot be cut by a knife or melted by fire. We tried many methods, but nothing worked."

Hua Miaomiao looked at Tao Yao in disbelief, "Even you can't do it?"

Tao Yao shook his head in frustration. He had to admit that he was really in trouble this time.

Hua Miaomiao was even more surprised, "How did the ancestor of the Ge family bring it back?"

Tao Yao pondered for a moment and said something that shocked Hua Miaomiao again.

"Perhaps, it wasn't the ancestor of the Ge family who brought it back, but it chose to come here on its own."

Hua Miaomiao swallowed unconsciously. She looked at the black thing in the dim pool, as if it had life and would rise up and devour Tao Yao at any time.

"Come up here!" she shouted.

Tao Yao didn't understand why her expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly went ashore and walked to her side, asking with concern: "What's wrong?"

"I..." Hua Miaomiao came back to her senses and felt that she must have been possessed by a demon. Why did she feel that the sacred land would move...

"No! It seems to be really moving!" Hua Miaomiao exclaimed.

The black clay in the bowl was bubbling like boiling water, and the entire basement was shaking violently.

"Don't just stand there, let's go!" Ge Qingcheng shouted at the two of them, and took the lead to open the door of the basement.

Tao Yao picked up Hua Miaomiao and teleported to the door. The moment he was about to go out, he felt his arms suddenly become empty, and Hua Miaomiao was dragged away by something in a flash.

Hua Miaomiao was dangling in the air, the black and slippery clay poking out from the water, tightly wrapped around her calves, and stretched upwards little by little. Could it be that this divine soil was also a pervert? Hua Miaomiao really admired herself for being able to let her wild imagination run wild at this moment.

Tao Yao immediately turned around to save her. He pulled Hua Miaomiao into his arms and kept trying to clear the black mud off her body. But the mud was like flowing water, and he couldn't stop it at all.

Ge Qingcheng pulled out the dagger he carried with him and tried to cut through the black mud. At this moment, he didn't care whether this was the sacred soil passed down from his ancestors. But this dagger, which could cut iron like mud, chopped the black mud, splashing fire and making his arm numb, but he didn't react at all.

Tao Yao saw that Hua Miaomiao was half-entrapped, and he was a little anxious. He used all his strength to attack the golden lotus in the pool. But every time he attacked with all his strength, it was like a drop in the ocean, without any effect at all.

Seeing Hua Miaomiao being wrapped up bit by bit, Tao Yao lost his mind. He tried to tear off the mud film on Hua Miaomiao's body without any method, but it still flowed over his hands like water and continued to spread upwards.

"Why?" Tao Yao's eyes were red. He couldn't understand why this thing avoided him and Ge Qingcheng and only targeted Hua Miaomiao.

Hua Miaomiao looked at him with some distress. She wanted to reach out and wipe away his tears, but her hands were already unable to move. She felt something covering her chest, and her breathing was no longer so smooth. Even Tao Yao was powerless to do anything about it. This time, she might really die.

"Taoyao, it's useless." Hua Miaomiao stopped his futile efforts. Why waste his divine power?

"No!" Tao Yao held her face, watching the black mud spread to her neck little by little. He didn't know what to do to stop it, so he could only try to block it with his hands again and again, and feel the black mud flowing through his fingers again and again, just like Hua Miaomiao's elusive life.

"What should I do? Can anyone tell me?"

"Stop, take a moment and look at me again, okay?"

"Hua Miaomiao, shut up! We finally got together."

"Yeah, after going through so much, it's not easy..."

"Don't leave me, please, Miaomiao, you can't keep bullying me like this..."

Tao Yao cried and begged, but unfortunately Hua Miaomiao was no longer able to respond to him.

Until the moment of darkness, Hua Miaomiao still looked at Tao Yao reluctantly. Seeing his heartbroken look, she regretted a little. Shouldn't she have taught him what love is, so that he wouldn't be so painful now?
