Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

"Young Madam, wake up! The Master wants you to go to the front hall." Tang Xiaoxiao felt weak all over and struggled to open her eyes. She saw a maid standing anxiously in front of her bed.

"Where's Li Mo?" Tang Xiaoxiao's voice was hoarse, her mouth dry. She took a few breaths and slowly got out of bed.

Sitting on the bed, I looked at my pale, thin hands. The veins were bulging, and I felt utterly weak. When had I become so weak? The days when I ran and played on campus seemed like a distant, unattainable world.

Isn't that just another world?

"Young Madam, please hurry! The people sent by the head of the family have been urging us for a long time."

The young maidservant anxiously tried to help her, to help her wash and change. She forcefully took her hand and started to walk forward. If it were before, Tang Xiaoxiao would have certainly forgiven her, as a young maidservant had it difficult.

But now... I may be understanding towards her, but she might not be understanding towards me.

Weakened and unable to use force, Tang Xiaoxiao could only pinch the maid hard. The maid cried out in pain and released her grip, allowing Tang Xiaoxiao to regain her balance.

"How dare you! Is this how the Li family teaches you to do things? Do I need you to teach me what to do?" With that, she took out a dagger from her storage bracelet and threw it at the maid.

The maid was terrified; he was always threatening to kill people!

The person who was so gentle and kind yesterday has suddenly changed their attitude today. The cold look in their eyes when they look at people is exactly the same as when Li Mo is angry.

"Young Madam, spare my life!" The little maid knelt on the ground, terrified by that chilling aura. No wonder they were from another continent; a single glance from them was enough to send shivers down one's spine.

"Get up! Help me to wash up, and tell the servants to prepare some pastries. As for you... if there's a next time, don't you want to know the consequences?" Tang Xiaoxiao didn't say what would happen, but not knowing what the punishment would be made people even more terrified.

"Yes, yes, young mistress, don't worry." The little maidservant began to serve Tang Xiaoxiao with trepidation as she washed and dressed.

After washing up, Tang Xiaoxiao ate some pastries and drank some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage, feeling somewhat more comfortable. She then slowly walked out of the room, supported by her maid.

As for using the spiritual spring water, it was an inspiration that Tang Xiaoxiao accidentally got from Li Mo yesterday.

Li Mo must have already been sent away; there were only two maids in the huge courtyard. The courtyard was completely empty and shabby, which showed just how unpopular Li Mo was at home.

Sigh! Li Mo's personality was largely due to his family background. I should treat him better from now on; I believe he would entrust his life to me.

With such a sycophant, what can't be accomplished?

From now on, I will give you the warmth you didn't give, and the care you didn't offer.

I'm sure I'll give you a huge surprise then!

The atmosphere in the hall this time was quite different from the last. The head of the Li family still sat at the head of the table, his expression upright and serious. To his left were several unfamiliar middle-aged men who appeared to be of high status. These men had been scrutinizing her with probing eyes ever since she entered. To his right were members of the direct line of the second and third branches of the family; some were gloating, others harbored ill intentions.

Not a single person in this room had any goodwill towards her.

Tang Xiaoxiao didn't want to invite trouble or be met with indifference. She might end up feeling disgusted instead of warming her heart. She simply nodded slightly, considering it a matter of politeness.

"Insolence!" The head of the Li family was the first to speak out, slamming his fist on the table in anger. "Is this how you treat your elders? I've been lenient with you because you come from another place, and I haven't disciplined you much. I never imagined you would develop such a disrespectful and arrogant nature."

"Is the head of the family going to discipline me in place of my parents? Our family doesn't have the habit of enduring beatings and scoldings. You can keep your family discipline to yourselves! If you anger me, I might not stay in the Li family forever. How I explain things to Li Mo when he comes back is none of my business."

After saying this, Tang Xiaoxiao glared at Li's father, then lowered her head and began fiddling with her clothes. She was afraid that staring at that malicious gaze for too long would be unbearable. If the act fell apart and she was exposed, she would be the one in deep trouble.

Uncle Li saw that the girl who had seemed so weak and easily bullied just two days ago was now sharp and piercing.

He had no choice but to stand up and smooth things over, "Niece-in-law! Today, several families from Liucheng were here to witness the wonders of another continent. Unexpectedly, your father-in-law has a terrible temper… He didn't mean it. Please forgive him this time, out of respect for his elders!"

"Uncle Li is really good with words! Alright, I'll let it go this time." He took out a cup of spiritual spring water from his spatial bracelet, drank it, and then calmly put the cup back.

Although everyone was curious about what she had drunk to make her complexion so rosy, given her previous outspoken and defiant attitude, no one dared to ask her any questions.

"This time, everyone wants to see that magical artifact from last time."

"Oh, a magical artifact! Magical artifacts all require magic to activate. I'm weak and frail now, easily pushed over. How could I possibly activate a magical artifact?"

Everyone's lips twitched violently. If we hadn't seen what you drank just now, and how your face is now rosy, we would have believed you!

Is it possible that young people these days no longer pretend to be something they're not, but instead start using this kind of blatant lying?

I'm getting old and can't keep up with the younger generation.

“Niece-in-law, since you’re not feeling well, we can’t force you. It’s not easy for the heads of the families to take time out of their busy schedules to come all this way, so why don’t you tell us about your cultivation system? It would be helpful for us to have a reference. We can’t have come all this way for nothing, can we?”

"Young lady, please consider that it wasn't easy for us old folks to make this trip. Let us see another continent too."

"Separated by vast oceans, we yearn for the other side. Countless people are willing to risk everything, even knowing that they will almost certainly die, to reach that mysterious continent."

"Alas! We're old now, we can't run anymore. We can only listen to your stories to comfort the hearts that pursued our youthful dreams."

These guys are all so energetic, and you're telling me they're old? Didn't you even look in the mirror before you said that? Fine, I'll take this opportunity to give them another shock.

"Our cultivation system is quite complex. You can start cultivating as soon as you have a spiritual root. Spiritual roots are divided into single spiritual roots, dual spiritual roots, mixed spiritual roots, and the rare celestial spiritual roots that only appear once every thousand years. Cultivation with celestial spiritual roots is incredibly fast. Next is single spiritual roots, and mixed spiritual roots are the worst."

"The foundation of your cultivation is indeed quite different from ours. May I ask what kind of spiritual root the little girl possesses?"

"I..." Can I say that? If I do, you'll make me perform another skill. Right now, I only have a storage bracelet, which can store things. What am I supposed to do with that?

Is it for displaying or storing things?

Almost everyone with some savings has a storage ring or pouch, so what's the point of showing it off?

There's really nothing to show.

And what are a bunch of old guys pretending to do with me? I clearly said "before"!
