She became a god

After this outburst, even the debt collectors were secretly astonished that this young boy was so ruthless at such a young age.

That was his own sister, the very sister who had just kowtowed and begged for his sake.

Such a good older sister, but in his eyes she's a money-loser.

How old is he?

How can one so comfortably use their sisters as stepping stones to protect themselves?

At that moment, the gang leader even had the thought of beating Chen Yaozu to death.

If someone like Chen Yaozu, who doesn't even care about his own sister, were to gain power, how could he possibly let go of someone like me who bullied him?

The gang leader was clear-headed, but the village chief, Li Si, was senile.

"Xi Chun, you can pay the remaining five taels."

"impossible!"

Li Si frowned. "Ten years ago, it was Granny Li who gave you warm clothes and a bag of coarse rice, which saved your life. People must not forget their roots!"

Wen Xichun scoffed, "A piece of clothing and a bag of coarse rice are worth at most sixty copper coins, but I spent six taels of silver on Granny Li. I have already repaid that debt of gratitude."

Li Si sighed, "Materials have a price, but kindness is priceless. Are you really going to just stand by and watch Granny Chen's last remaining bloodline suffer?"

Seeing the village chief say this, the villagers in the distance also started talking all at once.

In short, it all boils down to saying that Wen Xichun is cold-hearted and heartless, and that he has failed to live up to the kindness that Granny Chen showed him back then.

So noisy!

A swarm of flies was buzzing around!

Wen Xichun narrowed his eyes, a surge of tyranny rising in his heart.

I really want to kill everyone so that no one will bother me anymore!

After a moment, Wen Xichun spoke up, "I can pay five taels of silver, but they have to give me an IOU."

"Those two children have no relatives or friends; how could they possibly afford to pay back five taels?"

Wen Xichun sneered, "You can't repay but dare to borrow? Borrowing when you can't repay is just treating me like a vengeful spirit, isn't it? Village Chief, you know I have a notoriously short temper..."

After saying that, she raised the bow and arrow in her hand.

Li Si's expression was unfriendly, but he still did as Wen Xichun said.

As Chen Xiaocao wrote the IOU, she looked at Wen Xichun with teary eyes, "Sister Xichun..."

“I have no mother, no father, and no sister.” Wen Xichun glanced again at Chen Yaozu, whose expression was ferocious, “and no brother either. Don’t try to claim any connection.”

"From now on, don't try to take advantage of me with any favors you've shown me, or else..."

I will kill you all!

Wen Xichun hadn't finished speaking, but her tall and imposing figure and chilling laughter startled many of the onlookers.

After carefully putting away the IOU, Wen Xichun picked up a stool and went home. He closed the door, drank a large bowl of cooled boiled water, and only then did his mood calm down.

If she had known she would be in this mess, she would never have accepted anyone's charity back then.

They've already repaid a hundredfold, yet they're still not satisfied. What greedy humans they are!

After that day, Wen Xichun reinforced the gate and replaced the lock with a new one.

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny.

Wenxi went into the mountains in spring, not in a hurry to hunt, but to pick the biggest and reddest fruit.

It was noon when she finally reached the mountain temple.

There is a temple deep in these mountains, but it is only slightly better than the one at the end of the village; it is still dilapidated overall.

Wen Xichun placed the fruit on the offering table and sprinkled some icing sugar on it.

She wanted to sprinkle more but was afraid it would be too noticeable. After much deliberation, she sprinkled it little by little, making the fruit look as if it had a layer of bloom on its surface.

Straw Bear will probably come!

This temple is not far from where I last met her.

Wenxi Chun longed to stay here forever, waiting for the arrival of the Straw Bear.

But she knew that most wild animals in the mountains were wary, and if she stayed here, the straw bear would definitely not come in.

Left with no other choice, Wen Xichun had to go hunting nearby.

Oh my God!

Let me see her one more time!

Perhaps Heaven truly heard Wen Xichun's heartfelt words, for it showed extraordinary mercy this time.

When Wen Xichun stepped into the mountain temple again, she saw the straw bear she had been longing for, with a fruit in each of its two paws and another in its mouth.

There wasn't a single fruit on the offering table, and the ground was covered with fruit pits.

Almost!

If she had been any later, her straw bear would have eaten and drunk its fill and made a hasty escape.

Ye Qingzhou was very happy. He hadn't expected that humans would be so devout in their belief in gods that they would go to the trouble of finding so many sweet fruits to offer to an unknown deity.

White Island's sweet fruits are especially delicious!

The little panda felt very sad at the thought that Ah-e might be in seclusion for an unknown period of time.

With Ah-ying gone, who will pick fresh fruit for her to eat, and who will groom her fur?

She's only five years old this year. In the demon race, she's definitely a little baby who needs to be taken care of.

We eat wild fruits every day now, but we're never full or warm enough. Life is so hard.

The little panda was so absorbed in its grief that it didn't notice a huge dark shadow approaching it.

Spitting out the fruit pit, the little panda looked up, as if trying to strike a pose like a melancholy little cub.

But she was stunned. Why did she see a human face instead of the temple's beams?

Wait, this person looks familiar.

hiss!

I remember now, this woman seems to know me!

But why did she look at me with such fervor than last time?

Wen Xichun bent down and looked down. This time she could see clearly that the straw bear's tail had a full twelve rings.

Suppressing her excitement, Wen Xichun scooped up the little panda sitting on the ground and laughed, "Straw Bear, I finally caught you."

I'm not a straw bear, I'm a red panda!

who is it?

Who is speaking?

But all around him, besides himself, was the little creature in his arms that had come to its senses and was struggling and writhing.

Wen Xichun hesitated for a moment before calling out, "Little panda."

【That's right.】

She really does know me. But why did she call me Straw Bear? I'm not made of straw.

"Little panda, come home with me, I'll pick the sweetest fruit for you, and I'll give you sugar every day."

She even knows I love sweets! Have we met before?

However, I won't go home with her so easily.

Besides the sweet fruit, I also need someone to groom my fur. Her hands are so rough; she clearly doesn't know how to groom. What if she hurts me?

She's really strange; she just keeps smiling like an idiot and doesn't say a word.

Looking at the bright-eyed little panda in her arms, Wen Xichun slowly accepted this absurd situation.

She seemed to be able to hear the red panda's thoughts!

She hadn't made a mistake; the straw bear... no, it was the red panda, and the red panda belonged to her.

"Little panda, I'll pet you, and I'll take good care of you."

The red panda made a few short cries. [Can you understand what I'm saying?]

Ye Qingzhou, whose intelligence averaged only that of a three-year-old, couldn't fathom such a sophisticated matter as inner voices. She simply assumed that the other person, like herself and A-E, could speak in the language of demons.

Wen Xichun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The difference between hearing one's inner voice and understanding animal language shouldn't be that big, right?
