The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Ge Qinglan looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the table and felt a dull pain in his heart.

Hua Miaomiao took a half step back, leaned on his chest, and felt the resonance of her heart.

"I know the road ahead is bleak, but Ge Qinglan, I want to try. Can you promise me that you won't give up?"

Ge Qinglan couldn't bear to refuse her in the end, but he felt a little sorry for Tao Yao.

"it is good."

The reason he was able to come back this time was because Tao Yao was seriously injured while saving Xiaoyu. He took the opportunity to ask to come back to see Hua Miaomiao and promise that he would not resist when the next heavenly tribulation came.

He originally thought that Hua Miaomiao was already immortal, and it was only a matter of time before he was devoured by Tao Yao, and he would not be able to stay with her for long. If he could merge with Tao Yao, it would be a different way to stay together forever.

But he underestimated Hua Miaomiao's persistence. She was like this, which made him unable to let go with peace of mind. Maybe he could try his best to spend more time with her.

New Year's Eve is approaching, and Ge Qinglan stays at Hua's house to help his mother-in-law with housework. He is handsome and sweet-spoken, and Wu is so impressed by him that she smiles and praises him in front of Hua Ruling.

Hua Miaomiao was happy that he was not around anymore, and whenever she had time, she would drag Hua Niaoniao into the training room to ask about the secret realm. After Ge Qinglan came back, Xiuzhu moved into the Hua residence as his master, and was often dragged by Hua Miaomiao to be a sparring partner. She knew that others would definitely not agree to her entering the secret realm, so she decided to kill first and ask for permission later.

The "empty nester" Ge Qingcheng looked at the empty Ge family home and thought of his naughty brother who was happy and unwilling to leave. So he shamelessly ran to the Hua family home to stay for a while.

The Hua family’s New Year’s Eve banquet has never been so lively.

The happiest person was Wu. In previous years, it was just her, Hua Miaomiao and Xiaoyu, and the house was empty and deserted. She never thought that she would be able to have a warm house, hot meals and children around her in this life. Now, looking at the big table of people waiting for her to feed them, she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

Hua Ruling handed over the handkerchief uncomfortably, saying, "Don't let the children laugh at you on this wonderful day. You are already grown up and still crying."

"Yes, I am old, and I am no longer worthy of your attention, Master."

"Is that what I meant?"

"How can I know what you mean?"

The two of them were talking back and forth, with some unclear meaning in their conversation.

The two sisters smiled at each other, and understood each other. It seemed that good things were about to happen.

Hua Ruling and Ge Qingcheng had a great conversation while drinking and after getting drunk, they vowed to become brothers.

Fortunately, Ge Qinglan was not drunk and stopped it in time, thus avoiding an ethical drama.

Wu ordered her servants to help the two men back to their room, and she went to clean up the mess.

Ge Qinglan held the hangover tea prepared by Wu, leaned against Hua Miaomiao, and looked at the night sky with a comfortable look on his face.

"That was a close call. You almost became my niece." He joked with a smile.

Hua Miaomiao curled her lips, indicating that she didn't want to pay attention to him.

At this moment, a streak of light suddenly flashed across the sky. Seeing this, Hua Niaoniao hurriedly took out a piece of glowing jade from the house.

"It seems that this year it's ahead of schedule. Miaomiao, the Xumi Secret Realm is open, have you thought it through?"

"Of course, I have to go." Hua Miaomiao said with a firm look in her eyes.

Ge Qinglan suspected that he had misunderstood and asked uncertainly, "You said you wanted to follow me into the secret realm?"

"Yes, I have a reason to go."

"No!" Ge Qinglan said without hesitation, "With your ability, any alien beast that comes out will be defeated by you."

"..."

Hua Miaomiao turned her head away and didn't argue with him. No matter what, she had made up her mind to leave.

Hua Niaoniao made hand gestures on the spot, and a teleportation array appeared under her feet. Hua Miaomiao rushed over and hugged her waist tightly, and refused to let go no matter how Ge Qinglan pulled her. The three of them disappeared together.

When everyone came out, Xiuzhu was the only one left standing in the yard. Only mortals could enter the Xumi Secret Realm, and Xiuzhu could only watch as several people disappeared before his eyes.

It's over now. Pi Fu will be furious when she comes back.

Hua Miaomiao and the other two were transported to a wasteland. The sky was bright, with thick clouds covering it. There was no one around, and everywhere they looked was half-human-high weeds.

"So this is what the secret realm is like?" Hua Miaomiao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Seeing Ge Qinglan's unfriendly expression, she decisively hid behind Hua Niaoniao.

"You come out!"

"I won't!"

Hua Niaoniao separated the two of them and said, "Okay, now that you're here, even if you don't want to, you can only leave when the secret realm reopens."

Ge Qinglan had no choice but to give up. He carefully observed his surroundings.

He had heard of this Xumi Secret Realm before. Disciples from various schools used it as a test to become masters. They all hoped to obtain an extraordinary secret treasure from it to become famous, and the possibility of vicious competition could not be ruled out.

"How cute, come and see."

Hua Miaomiao didn't know what she had discovered, and she was leaning forward to look into the bushes.

The two of them followed and saw that there was a small animal lying in the middle of the grass. It had a yellow background with black spots, a round head, round ears, a short and fat body, and no neck. It was curled up in the grass and taking a nap, looking very cute.

"Is this a tiger cub?" Ge Qinglan asked uncertainly.

Hua Niaoniao was also confused. Logically, the secret realm was full of exotic beasts, and there shouldn't be regular beasts like tigers. She wanted to go forward and take a closer look, and saw the little beast's ears move, and its eyes slowly opened, it woke up.

"Miaomiao, be careful!" She grabbed Hua Miaomiao by the collar and carried her back a few meters.

The unknown creature slowly raised its body, and underneath its round body were two slender bird-like claws. It shook its fur, gave the few people a look of contempt, then stretched out two wings from its round body, turned around and flew away.

……

Hua Miaomiao was stunned. She pointed at the sky for a long time before she uttered a word, "What is that?"

"It should be a tiger-eating beast, a beast that feeds on tigers. I've read about it in a book before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes."

Hua Miaomiao was even more shocked after hearing this. She stretched out her hand to measure the size of the little beast.

"A beast? Feeding on tigers? That's it?"

"That's unknown. Maybe it hasn't grown up yet."

"What a shame, they're quite cute, I really want to get one."

Hearing her say this, Ge Qinglan became interested. He looked in the direction where the tiger-eating beast disappeared and confirmed with Hua Niaoniao again.

“Does this really exist in reality?”

“There’s no smoke without fire. There are many strange things in the world. Just because you haven’t heard of them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.”

"It's me who is ignorant."

"It's okay. Read more books when you get out."

"..."

As he was talking, the surroundings suddenly darkened. He looked up and saw that the clouds that were just white as snow had now turned into dark clouds, and the wind around him was also damp.

"It's going to rain, what should I do?" Hua Miaomiao looked at the endless grassland and felt a little worried.

"This place is so strange, we don't know what's in the rain, it will be even more unsafe when it gets dark. Let's follow the direction of the tiger-eating beast and find a place to stay as soon as possible."
