With cannon fodder, become the best in the world

Zhou Yun was unexpectedly surrounded by an embrace filled with the fragrance of flowers. She was extremely shocked.

The woman's tone was anxious, but still gentle as water, and she comforted her softly.

Little Hammer suddenly jumped beside them and gently pulled the hem of the woman's skirt.

When the woman saw the rabbit, her eyes were dazed for a moment, then she let go of Zhou Yun and held the rabbit in her arms. She said softly, "Long Yue, do you like rabbits? Mother also has many small pets, and there are many flowers planted in Baicao Courtyard. You loved beautiful and cute things the most when you were a child."

The little hammer seemed to be particularly affectionate towards the woman, and it licked her hand affectionately.

The woman stuffed the rabbit into Zhou Yun's arms, then gently took her hand and smiled at her, "Long Yue, mother made your favorite hundred flower cake."

Zhou Yun obediently let her lead the way to a small courtyard with pleasant scenery. The courtyard was very large, and at a glance, there were hundreds of flowers in full bloom, and among the flowers there were various animals, some lying down and dozing, some chasing and playing.

An old woman in the yard came over. Seeing the girl coming back, she felt relieved and said helplessly, "Miss Yan, where did you go just now? You made me so anxious."

The old woman saw the little girl the woman was holding and asked in confusion, "Whose daughter did you bring here?"

The woman smiled happily and said, "Mother Rong, this is Long Yue. How come you didn't recognize her? Long Yue was playing in the garden, so I brought her back."

Mother Rong glanced at Zhou Yun and saw that Zhou Yun was not at all unhappy because of the woman's abruptness. She quickly asked someone to come into the house and brought a lot of snacks and placed them on the table.

Zhou Yun put the rabbit aside. The rabbit crawled to the plate of pastries, picked up a piece of pastry, curled up at the corner of the table and ate it happily.

Rong's mother said to the woman, "Miss Yan, I don't know what happened to Xiaosong today. He has been quiet."

When the woman heard this, she stood up quickly and said, "Then I'll go and take a look." Then she ran out.

Mother Rong gently placed the brewed tea in front of Zhou Yun. Her old eyes revealed a bit of vigilance. She stared at Zhou Yun and asked, "Whose family are you from? Why did you come back with my Miss Yan?"

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Zhou Yun replied slowly, "I came back with Jimo Yanzhou."

After a while, Rong Ma remembered who Jimo Yanzhou was, and asked suspiciously, "Sixth Young Master? Is he the Sixth Young Master who was exiled and returned?"

Mother Rong looked up and down at Zhou Yun, the little girl brought back by the exiled Sixth Young Master.

"I first came here and accidentally got lost in the mansion. Fortunately, I met the sister just now, but I saw that sister seemed to mistake me for someone else." Zhou Yunyan said.

Rong's mother muttered to herself, "Ms. Yan usually likes to pick up small animals and raise them, but today she even dared to bring back a human."

"Has that sister ever experienced any kind of stimulation?" Zhou Yun asked.

Rong Ma pretended not to hear Zhou Yun's words and continued to talk to herself, "This little girl looks familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere before. The Sixth Young Master has not returned for more than ten years, and this little girl is still young. She should have never been to the mansion..."

"Mother-in-law?" Zhou Yun patted Rong Ma who was talking to herself, and thought to himself that the master of Baicao Courtyard was mentally abnormal and the servants were also insane.

Zhou Yun called her "mother-in-law" several times before Rong Ma came back to her senses. She held Zhou Yun's hand tightly and said, "Miss Zhou, Miss Yan may sometimes do something extreme. I hope you don't mind. I have taken care of Miss Yan since she was a child. She and Master Zhou Yao of Wushuang City were in love, but her family forced her to marry an elderly and unmarried cultivator. That cultivator was not a good person. Not only did he bully Miss Yan, he also caused her to lose her newborn baby. The baby died when it was only three days old. Miss Yan named the baby Jimo Longyue. That bastard not only killed his own child, but also almost took Miss Yan's life. Fortunately, Master Zhou Yao rescued her, otherwise Miss Yan would have died long ago..."

Rong's mother cried as she spoke, and she looked miserable and even ugly.

"How did you know my last name is Zhou?" Zhou Yun was stunned. The old woman had never asked her name, so how could she know her last name was Zhou? Moreover, they actually knew her father. Could it be that her father and Jimo Yan were in love? She had never heard her father mention it! Looking at the master and servant, they were both nervous, and what they said was not credible.

The old woman cried for a long time, raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears and snot on her face, and suddenly stared at Zhou Yun, asking in confusion: "Whose family are you from? Why did you come back with the Sixth Young Master?"

"My name is Zhou Yun, Jimo Yanzhou is... my sworn brother." Zhou Yun replied.

"The Sixth Young Master brought it back." The old woman's eyes became much clearer. Suddenly, she looked normal again, which made Zhou Yun a little uncomfortable.

"So she's the Sixth Young Master's sister." The old woman handed over the cake plate carefully, "This is made by Miss Yan herself, try it. Speaking of which, there haven't been any guests in Baicao Courtyard for a long time."

Zhou Yun said thoughtfully: "Is Miss Yan's name Jimo Yan?"

The old woman stared at Zhou Yun without blinking and replied, "Yes."

As soon as Jimo Yan entered the room, she placed a small golden snake wrapped around her wrist on the table and took a piece of cake and placed it next to the snake's mouth.

The snake suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the cake in one gulp.

When Little Hammer saw the snake, he was so scared that he ran out of the house like a flash of lightning and disappeared in an instant.

Jimo Yan said to Zhou Yun with a smile: "Longyue, its name is Xiaosong. When I picked it up, it was still an egg and was almost eaten by other wild animals. I raised it for a long time before it finally hatched. Don't look at it as listless, it is actually very well behaved and smart."

The little snake was golden all over, and its scales were sparkling with golden light. It looked sparkling, like a precious work of art.

Jimo Yan stretched out her hand, and the small snake as thick as a thumb swam into the palm of her hand, coiling into a ball like a small golden disk.

Jimo Yan carefully handed the snake to Zhou Yun and said softly, "Do you like Xiaosong?"

Zhou Yun nodded slightly, and saw a faint lightning flashing on the snake's head. It must be a spirit beast whose bloodline has not yet awakened. However, under Jimo Yan's careful care, it is only a matter of time before its bloodline awakens.

"Xiaosong is the most well-behaved of all the pets. He loves to sleep the most. You can take him to play with him." Jimo Yan handed the little snake to Zhou Yun again.

As soon as Zhou Yun stretched out her hand, the little snake quickly crawled into her sleeve as if with a spirit, coiled around her wrist, bringing a cool feeling.

Seeing this, Jimo Yan was overjoyed and talked to Zhou Yun for a long time. Finally, she tied a red string hanging from her neck around Zhou Yun's neck. The red string hung a small key. It was unknown what the key was used for, and the metal key seemed to still have the warmth of her body.
