Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Xiaoyao ran back to her little house and wrapped herself in a blanket. She felt very cold, even colder than being imprisoned in a fox cage.

Would his brother Xuan really do that to her? But what was her sister's purpose in lying to her? If she was lying, was it necessary to go through so much trouble to find her and save her? Was it necessary to use half of her body's essence and blood to help her restore her spiritual power?

During this period, her sister treated her like family, and everyone around her was very friendly. Even her cold brother didn't do anything to her.

However, my father really couldn't find her, my grandfather didn't look for her either, and it was even more impossible for my brother Xuan to find him, so if it weren't for my sister, he would still be imprisoned.

She has the Shennong Herbal Classic given by mother, and a medical book on toxins. No one knows about this except mother, but my sister said that I would poison the fox in the end, so my sister really knows everything. My sister also knows that Xuanxuan and I made a vow on Chaoyun Peak. No one knows about this except the parties involved, so how could my sister know it!

If Brother Xuan really treated her like this, would she still want him? No, he's not my brother. He's a demon. He doesn't deserve to be my brother. My sister said she'd find me in three hundred years, so I promised her I'd learn from her. Even if I meet Xuan three hundred years from now, I'll be able to protect myself. I can't condemn him based on just a few words from my sister, but if he ever does that, don't blame me for disowning him as my brother!

Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly became firm and sharp. She wanted to become stronger and take her destiny into her own hands.

"Xiaoyao, don't think about anything. You can practice now. Your destiny has changed. You can't be afraid. Sister said that you are the best and the most noble. No one can force me to do something I don't want to do, not even my brother!"

Xiaoyao muttered to herself to encourage herself, threw off the covers, sat down to meditate, and began to practice seriously. In the past, when she was in Yushan, she would only practice seriously when the scorching sun was chasing her. Now, she practiced on her own initiative. She was more serious than ever before.

Yan Mo withdrew his consciousness and smiled with relief. He had been worried that she would do something stupid. It turned out that Xiaoyao was still the same Xiaoyao, the invincible Xiaoyao. His Xiaoliu was back. Xiangliu from the previous life, your Xiaoliu was back... I found her...

A few days passed, and it had been a while since I last saw Xiang Liu. During these days, Yan Mo spent most of his time practicing in space, hoping to recover his blood and energy as soon as possible. He also took a lot of tonics and recovered almost completely, feeling full of energy again. He got bored at the Moon Viewing Peak and stopped Xiao Yao who was still practicing.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet Yijun and Uncle Hongjiang. Although he had some issues with your father when he was alive, he's the only one who still visits every year on your father's death anniversary."

“Why don’t they deal with it?”

"Well, does it all count as a bad temper? Haha."

Xiaoyao was amused by Yan Mo

"After all, they are generals of the same country. They can fight all they want at home, but if there is an external enemy, they can fight side by side and leave their backs to each other."

Soon, Yan Mo brought Xiao Yao to the military camp. Yan Mo had put on the mask given by Xiang Liu earlier. He looked mysterious and handsome, and Xiao Yao was stunned!

"Sister, the mask is so beautiful, why do you wear a mask?" Xiaoyao's eyes sparkled, envious and puzzled.

"This was done by Brother God. I don't want too many people to know what I look like, otherwise what if I get caught doing bad things?" Yan Mo smiled slyly.

"You don't need to. Every time you do something bad, you change your face. It's simply a perfect tool for committing crimes! Isn't it, little girl?" Yan Mo pinched Xiao Yao's face with envy.

This was the first time Xiaoyao realized that this was actually how the Rejuvenating Flower was used?! However, the Rejuvenating Flower artifact had indeed saved her many times.

"Now that we're here, just treat it like home. Don't be nervous." Yan Mo held Xiaoyao's hand tightly, worried that she would not be able to adapt.

"Mo girl is here?"

"Are you here to see the military advisor? He doesn't seem to be here..."

"Girl, who is this little girl?

.........

As soon as Yan Mo walked into the camp, he was surrounded by a large group of people. The noise made his head hurt.

"No, no, I'm looking for my foster father. He's probably in the tent!

"Yes, I just came back from outside. Go find him yourself!"

"Okay, you all go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

……

Yan Mo pulled Xiao Yao through tent after tent. Xiao Yao wanted to ask, have they always lived here? It was really shabby here, not a single tent was intact. Did the Immortal Brother live here too? She couldn't imagine him living in a place like this despite his usual good looks. When they passed a large pot, Xiao Yao looked at the thin rice soup inside and shook Yan Mo's hand.

"Sister, do they usually eat these?"

"Well, that's the situation now. When I make some money later, I'll help them improve their situation."

"What about my brother? Does he eat these too?"

"Yes, your brother can't just eat all the delicious food and let his brother eat porridge. Sharing happiness and hardship is what makes a brother." Yan Mo said seriously.

"The food my brother gave us..."

"Perhaps, that is my brother's only selfish motive."

"No, my brother's only selfish concern is for my sister. I am blessed by my sister!" Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"Okay, the little girl can tease her sister now!"

Yan Mo suddenly tickled Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao ran away giggling, with Yan Mo chasing her with a smile...

The surrounding rebels heard the laughter and cheers, and their usually dull lives became lively. No one disturbed them...

"Haha, little Mo finally has time to come and see me, an old man."

"I've been a bit busy lately. Besides, how can my godfather be old? He's getting younger and younger. If you stand next to Xiangliu, people might think you're his elder brother!"

My sister is so good at bragging with her eyes open... Xiaoyao is silent...

"Haha, you're the only one who knows how to flatter. Tell me, what do you want from your godfather again?"

"Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong? Let's go inside and talk! I'm thirsty, can I have a cup of tea?" Yan Mo smiled sweetly, like a younger generation who was acting coquettishly and cutely to his elders.

Hong Jiang really fell for her tricks. It had been years since he'd felt the joy of family. The memories were too distant. He once had children around him, but now he was all alone. Xiang Liu was too much of a stickler for rules, always respectful. But Mo was the more pleasing girl...

"Okay, okay, it's just that we don't have any good tea. That brat Xiangliu brought it from Fangfeng's house, and he himself couldn't bear to drink it!"

Yan Mo thought about Xiao Yao drinking tea made from animal feces, and he burst out laughing. He found Xiao Yao's confused face even funnier.

Xiaoyao always felt that her sister must have expected something good.

The three of them sat down. Yan Mo instructed his father to cast a barrier. He looked at Xiaoyao and encouraged her, "Xiaoyao, can you tell your uncle about your identity yourself? If you don't want to, then don't. I won't force you. You just need to know that your parents are heroes, and you are not a disgrace. You should be proud of yourself. You may spend more of the next three hundred years living here, so you should treat this place as your home. So there are some things that I think your family has the right to know. We will all protect you and love you. Don't worry or be afraid. I promise that your uncle will not hurt you."

Looking at Sister Yan Mo's sincere and serious expression, Xiao Yao's uneasy heart seemed to be soothed by a pair of warm hands. Sister was right, she should be proud! Turning around, she looked at Hong Jiang with big eyes without fear, and said firmly and proudly: "Uncle, my father is Chi Chen, and my mother is Xiling Heng."

Hong Jiang's pupils trembled, and he looked at Yan Mo in disbelief. Yan Mo nodded slightly.

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it, what happened back then is true... Haha, well, that barbarian Chichen actually has such a well-behaved and lovely child. What a pity, what a pity, fate plays tricks on us!"

"Uncle Hong Jiang, can you tell me about my parents?"

"I don't know much about them. The one that left the deepest impression on me was the final battle. Perhaps they all knew this might be their last time together. That day, your mother loudly announced to the world in front of everyone that she and Chi Chen had been in love for hundreds of years. They passionately kissed in front of everyone. At that moment, everyone realized how difficult their lives had been over the past few hundred years. One was the pillar of Chen Rong, and the other was Princess Xuanyuan. They both had their own people and families behind them. They never once betrayed their country or their families for personal reasons. They deserve the respect of the world."

"Then why did mother marry father again?"

"Marriage between nations is the best and most convenient way to achieve profit and stabilize the court. Your mother is the only princess of Xuanyuan, so she has no other choice."

Xiaoyao fell silent. She recalled many details that she hadn't paid much attention to as a child. Now she finally understood why her mother never slept in the same bed with her father. Although they seemed to have a good relationship, it always seemed like something was missing. Xiaoyao looked at Yan Mo. That's right, she had never seen her mother and father hug or kiss, not even once! And every time her father looked at her, his eyes were filled with anger, sadness, and deep love and reluctance. But her mother's eyes always contained a sense of sadness and despair, helpless and heartbreaking!

Xiao Yao looked at Yan Mo, then at Hong Jiang, and suddenly bowed deeply, saying in a sincere and grateful tone:

"Thank you. I once believed the rumors spread by the palace maids and ran away from Yushan. I never wanted to believe that my mother was a shameless slut, so I wanted to find her and ask her for an explanation. I didn't dare to go to my father, fearing that if it was true, he would be angry with me, and I would be his shame! I couldn't find my mother, so I had to wander around. I was caught by the landlord and almost raped. I had to fight with wild dogs for food and hide from monsters. My father sent people to look for me, but I didn't dare go back. Later, I even lost my face and was captured and imprisoned by a fox. My power was scattered, and every day I listened to him talking to me. My parents' insults, how much I hated them back then. I wanted to ask them how shamelessly they lived together, why they gave birth to me but didn't want me. All my suffering was caused by them, and I once looked at them with hatred. But my sister told me the whole truth. She didn't treat me like an ignorant child. She told me that my parents weren't wrong, that the world was wrong, and that I wasn't a disgrace. She told me that I could hold my head high and be a proud princess. She also helped me repair my dantian, gave me a warm home, and went to save my mother. I don't know how to thank you enough.

Yan Mo was so distressed that she was speechless. If she had saved Xiaoyao with a purpose before, she really treated Xiaoyao as her own sister as they got along afterwards. It was not just because Xiaoyao was part of the plan, but she really liked this little girl.

Yan Mo took Xiaoyao's hand and said earnestly:

"Silly girl, we are a family, and I've promised you a life of peace and happiness. From now on, no matter what you choose, follow your heart and don't leave any regrets."

"I understand, sister." Xiaoyao sat down obediently.

Hong Jiang watched silently. He knew that Mo Yatou knew what she was doing, so he didn't get involved.

"Foster father, do you know where Xiangliu has been recently?"

"I don't know, I thought he told you.

Yan Mo shook her head, feeling that Xiang Liu was hiding something from her...
