The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 253 - Thoughtfulness From Cute Guys

Yun s.h.i.+mo broke into a smile, but he didn’t say anything.

Huangfu Xuan sneered and said, “Prince Nan is the biggest hypocrite I’ve ever seen.”

Ji Feng also understood what Hua Qiyue meant. She was afraid that Princess Qianyang would pick up a wrong time to create a disturbance. After all, it was a critical time for everyone to practice.

If Princess Qianyang was really so narrow-minded, considering that she was a woman, she was really capable of creating disturbances.

For that reason, Ji Feng hurriedly spoke to Qiyue, “Qiyue, I have been making some alcohol these few days, called osmanthus-flavored wine. It’s a secret recipe from Brother Xuan. Come and have a try.”

As Ji Feng was speaking to Hua Qiyue, he also took out one jar of alcohol from his s.p.a.ce Ring. Once he opened the lid of the jar, a strong, pure, and mesmerizing smell coming from the jar made everyone present take a deep breath.

Ji Feng gently filled a gla.s.s with wine and brought it to Hua Qiyue. “Come on, have a try.”

Hua Qiyue had grown an addiction to wine after his son Tianci was taken away by Yun s.h.i.+mo, although she wasn’t as addicted as she used to be. But generally speaking, she still had a taste for wine.

Because when she was frustrated and felt pain, all she needed was only a jar of wine, then she could be drunk alone and forget all her pain.

Hua Qiyue was overjoyed for that offer. She took the gla.s.s and said, “Thanks, Brother Ji, this smells so good. Brother Xuan’s secret recipe mustn’t be shared, right? Well, can you share it with me, though?” Hua Qiyue loved that taste. If she could get hold of that secret recipe, she wouldn’t worry about not having great wine anymore.

Xuanji nodded to her. “Sure, I will bring you the secret recipe after dinner.”

Hua Qiyue’s expressive eyes narrowed into a line after she heard Xuanji.

Princess Qianyang hypocritically agreed with that idea. “Hua Qiyue loves wine so much. She must be a straightforward person.”

Hua Qiyue furrowed her brow and replied, “I think you are perfectly clear about what kind of person I am.”

Tianci touched Hua Qiyue’s arm. “Yeah, mom, I heard that you two had known one another for a long time, so, hahaha, Princess Qianyang was talking nonsense just now.”

Yun s.h.i.+mo was cold and indifferent all that time. Princess Qianyang was furious after being embarra.s.sed by Tianci. However, she kept looking at him gently.

“Here you go, Tianci, your favorite barbecue…”

“Sorry, I’ve changed my appet.i.te. I don’t like these dishes any more.” Tianci stopped Princess Qianyang as she was trying to put some food on his plate. Tianci didn’t have much bad feeling towards this lady before, but after that, he hated her.

Or you could say that he hated her much more than he did before.

Hua Qiyue showed Princess Qianyang a smile. “Tianci has the same taste as me. These dishes are over-flavored. I don’t like them.”

What she was really saying wasn’t that she didn’t like these dishes, but that they were made especially for Princess Qianyang.

Princess Qianyang stared at Yun s.h.i.+mo for a good moment. But he was all cool and calm, so did she overthink about it?

“Qiyue, my s.p.a.ce Ring can keep food fresh, and there are a lot of unfinished dishes from Ten Thousand Spirit Cave. I have forgotten about them after I came here. I’ll give this ring to you.”

Xuanji took out a sparkling s.p.a.ce Ring from his pocket and gave it to Hua Qiyue.

The sparkling s.p.a.ce Ring was made from a million-year-old Dragon Tear Stone. The stone was rare and almost transparent.

Hua Qiyue was shocked. She knew there was only one s.p.a.ce Ring made from Dragon Tear Stone in the world.

Xuanji already gave her a s.p.a.ce Ring to store food for Ji Feng before, but the Dragon Tear Stone s.p.a.ce Ring was a true collection.

“Brother Xuan, this ring is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”

Hua Qiyue shook her head. She was not going to take such an expensive gift.

“If you take me as a friend, you will accept it. If not, I will walk away,” Xuanji told Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue was shocked again. Everyone was looking at her. She couldn’t hide the joy in front of them. As for Yun s.h.i.+mo and Princess Qianyang, they were rather cold, but they both had something in their minds.

Yun s.h.i.+mo also felt shocked. He did not expect that such a treasure from Xuan Family would end up in Xuanji’s hands. Moreover, he didn’t expect Xuanji to give that one-of-a-kind treasure to someone else as a gift.

He could tell how Hua Qiyue mattered to Xuanji!

“Alright, Brother Xuan, I will take this expensive gift, thank you.” Hua Qiyue was silent for a long while and finally took the s.p.a.ce Ring.

She was aware that Xuanji’s affections toward her were true.

Or else, he wouldn’t give her such a gift, unless he just wanted her trust, and then he would take the gift back. But either way, Hua Qiyue didn’t think she had any advantages to be taken of.

And, plus, Xuanji wasn’t such a guy.

“Congratulations, Qiyue. What a treasure you got!” Ji Jing said sincerely, and her face was filled with glee. “I heard that Dragon Tear Stone could summon a real dragon. I don’t know if it is true, but it has plenty of uses anyway. You must let me see it later!”

Hua Xiyue broke into a smile. “Rest a.s.sured, you know I never forget about you when there is a treat.”

Ji Jing was pleased to hear that.

Yun s.h.i.+mo looked fine, but deep down, his heart was hurt.

“How could Hua Qiyue accept Xuanji’s s.p.a.ce Ring!”

“Although it’s only a s.p.a.ce Ring, it’s still a valuable one, and it looks like a wedding ring!”

Huangfu Xuan didn’t look so good after seeing that drama. Compared to the ring Xuanji gave to Hua Qiyue, his Demon Chicken to Tianci was so negligible.

Huangfu Xuan gritted his teeth. In the game of romance, he was no better; in the game of caring, he lost; in the game of compet.i.tiveness, he was not worth mentioning!

So he was doomed to lose the game, wasn’t he?

“c.o.c.kadoodledoo…” The Demon Chicken, which was half an average human’s height, ran over Tianci at this moment. Tianci patted it on the head happily. “Stay here. I will play with you after the meal.”

The Demon Chicken giggled to express its happiness.

Hua Qiyue didn’t try to force Tianci to over-practice. People needed some leisure time, after all.

The little boy loved that Demon Chicken and that Demon Chicken seemed to feel the same. The little boy and the little chicken were just like another duo—Yun s.h.i.+mo and the hare.

“This is a baby Demon Chicken. I still miss those Demon Chickens in Ten Thousand Spirit Cave. They smelled great, and their meat was so tender. Hey, Tianci, why don’t we kill that Demon Chicken and roast it.”

The hare held a chicken leg and mumbled.

That Demon Chicken flew into a rage and started to giggle to express its anger once it heard the hare.

Everyone there sent the hare a scornful look.

Plotting against a boy’s toy was too low.

“Don’t worry. No one is going to eat you. Uncle Hare, here is a better idea. Why don’t you cut off your fat legs since rabbit meat is delicious? A divine rabbit’s meat must be even better!” Tianci joked about Tianci’s leg and said.

“Wanna take advantage of him? No way!”

His mom was Hua Qiyue. Not even a G.o.d wanna pick up a fight with Tianci.

Everybody laughed peacefully, and it seemed so at least.

Yun s.h.i.+mo was worried. He knew that Ji Feng, Xuanji, Huangfu Xuan were all obsessed with Hua Qiyue and that Hua Qiyue was not with anyone at that moment. So, she mush be really disappointed with him.

If she showed any sign of having any feelings for any of these men, judging from their histories, they would very much like to make her happy.

Yun s.h.i.+mo took a glance at Xuanji, whose handsome face was filled with pride, like a breeze in the spring.

Xuanji’s smile contained some deep meanings, and it was appealing. Ji Jing was amazed by that smile as well. “Sister Qiyue is so lucky, and her luck just keeps coming. It is especially true with Xuanji since he is the descendant of Xuan Family, and he is cute and talented.”

Hua Qiyue felt better. She was kind of down for Yun s.h.i.+mo and Princess Qianyang’s business, but as those three cute guys showed up, she felt her sky was clear again.

“There are shoals of fish in the sea. You don’t have to feel down just for a lost lover.” Hua Qiyue encouraged herself in her mind.

She took another look at Xuanji. He was cute and had pretty eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Though in that robe, he still looked good.

“This is a good guy.” Hua Qiyue thought, “Hopefully, he will find a perfect girl.”

But what Hua Qiyue didn’t know was that, for Xuanji, she was his perfect girl.

Yun s.h.i.+mo noticed how Hua Qiyue was sizing up Xuanji. His heart dropped, and for some reason, he wanted to evict those guys from Eight Fingers Mountain.

The hare was eating its chicken leg and studying Yun s.h.i.+mo’s face. It giggled from time to time.

After Hua Qiyue finished her meal, she said goodbye to everyone and took Tianci with her to practice.

The practice was the only concentration of those days, but since so many people cared about her, how could she fall down selfishly?

What was more, she could not let Yun s.h.i.+mo or Princess Qianyang—those two b.i.t.c.hes, influence her!

When Hua Qiyue was concentrating on her practice, Yun s.h.i.+mo invited Xuanji to the mountain top.

Xuanji didn’t want to go, but the message the hare gave him was about Hua Qiyue. Xuanji thought about it. If it was about his father’s daughter-in-law, he had to go, didn’t he?

So Xuanji went to the mountain top, but only to find that Yun s.h.i.+mo was standing there with hands on his back, not facing him.

“Brother Yun, please be straightforward!” Xuanji said emotionlessly, but Yun s.h.i.+mo never turned around, which obviously was very disrespectful. Xuanji knew Yun s.h.i.+mo didn’t like him.

Yun s.h.i.+mo’s smile was dark and wicked. “Brother Xuan, what do you want with Qiyue?”

Xuanji looked at Yun s.h.i.+mo’s back and said, “I think it’s really unnecessary for you to invite me here if you just want to ask this simple question.”

Yun s.h.i.+mo’s voice was low. “Your family, Xuan family knows that you can’t get into the green jade gourd, and you are aware that Qiyue is its true master. So you gave her the jade gourd, right?”

Xuanji raised his eyebrows. A trace of sickness could be detected from his eyes. “Brother Yun, you totally underestimate Xuan Family if you say so. I knew it’s you who stole that jade gourd in the previous battle.”

Xuanji’s words made Yun s.h.i.+mo look back swiftly. That was a murderous look. “Xuanji, don’t ever think that I dare not to kill you just because you are from Xuan Family.”

Yun s.h.i.+mo had to admit that Xuanji’s words had really hurt him.

“Come on! I am not afraid.” Xuanji smiled calmly. But when he was waiting for Yun s.h.i.+mo’s attack, Yun s.h.i.+mo jumped downhill.
