Chapter 217: The Extent of the Miao King's Favor
Chapter 217: The Extent of the Miao King's Favor
September 14, 2024
Meng Qianqian spoke in a cold voice, "Miaojiang has long been under the rule of the court. Imperial gifts? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Bai Yuwei, undaunted, replied, "In Miaojiang, we only acknowledge the Miao King!"
Meng Qianqian gave a cold smile, "How interesting!"
Bai Yuwei glanced at the broken whip in her hand and said mockingly, "Even without the whip, I can still teach you a lesson with my bare hands!"
Meng Qianqian raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is that so?"
Bai Yuwei boasted, "I didn't go all out on you earlier, otherwise, you'd really think you're so formidable?"
Meng Qianqian gestured to her, "Come on then."
Bai Yuwei, feeling provoked, threw the broken whip to the ground, twisted her waist, and leaped into the air, punching towards Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian stood still, gazing at her intently.
The surroundings seemed to quiet down, and the punch that was as swift as thunder appeared to slow down in her eyes, revealing countless flaws.
"I knew you couldn't dodge it!"
Bai Yuwei was feeling triumphant.
But to her surprise, just as the punch was about to land, Meng Qianqian caught it with her palm, pulled her aside, and struck her shoulder with another palm.
A formidable burst of force hit Bai Yuwei's body, causing her to stagger back several steps and nearly collide with the stone table.
She turned her head in disbelief, glaring at Meng Qianqian with hatred.
Meng Qianqian gestured to her again, "Come again."
Bai Yuwei gritted her teeth and threw another punch.
However, this time was no different, as Meng Qianqian easily deflected it.
After a few more moves, Meng Qianqian remained neat and composed, not a strand of her hair out of place, while Bai Yuwei had no idea how many times she had been humiliated.
Meng Qianqian looked at her indifferently, "Do you admit defeat?"
Bai Yuwei panted, "In your dreams!"
"Then I won't hold back."
Meng Qianqian slapped Bai Yuwei's shoulder, sending her flying to the ground.
Bai Yuwei's face contorted in pain.
Meng Qianqian looked down at her, "When you were beating others, did you know it hurt this much?"
Bai Yuwei glared at Meng Qianqian with hatred, grabbing a handful of dust from the ground and flinging it at Meng Qianqian's face.
Meng Qianqian waved her sleeve, brushing off the dust.
Bai Yuwei seized the moment and performed a fish leap, spinning and landing gracefully behind Meng Qianqian.
She patted the dust off her hands triumphantly, "How's that? Did you take the bait?"
"You mean this?"
Meng Qianqian turned around, her fingertip holding a tiny insect.
Bai Yuwei's face changed, "You..."
Meng Qianqian spoke calmly, "Are the insects from Miaojiang very powerful?"
Bai Yuwei hadn't expected Meng Qianqian to see through her poison toad technique, but it was just an ordinary insect. She had more and even stronger ones!
Since her trick had been discovered, Bai Yuwei decided to openly use her poison toad technique on Meng Qianqian.
It must be said that while Bai Yuwei's martial arts were lacking, her poison toad technique was genuine.
However, for some unknown reason, despite seeing Meng Qianqian fall for her trick several times, she remained unaffected.
Bai Yuwei was dumbfounded, "You...what did you do to my poison toad technique?"
Meng Qianqian replied, "If your insects are ineffective, blame me?"
Bai Yuwei was incredulous, but as she neared the end of her poison toad technique, Meng Qianqian still stood firm.
Meng Qianqian looked puzzled, "Are you performing some kind of ritual?"
Bai Yuwei was so furious that she threw the bottle!
And it was this throw that almost hit the Phoenix Jade Bottle hanging at Meng Qianqian's waist.
Meng Qianqian quickly picked up the small bottle and blew on it, "Thankfully, it's fine."
Bai Yuwei's gaze fell upon the bottle, and her expression changed instantly, "Golden Silk Worm Gu? How did it end up on you?"
No wonder her Gu worms were useless against Meng Qianqian. The Golden Silk Worm Gu was the king of all Gu, and no other worm could do anything but flee upon seeing it.
Meng Qianqian looked at her strangely, "My grandfather gave it to me."
Bai Yuwei scolded, "Nonsense! The Golden Silk Worm Gu is the most powerful Gu in Miaojiang. Only one is produced every ten years! Your grandfather is from the Central Plains, how could he possibly have the Golden Silk Worm Gu? I say you stole it!"
It must have been this girl who stole it from her grandfather last night!
"Believe it or not," Meng Qianqian hung the small porcelain bottle back on her waist, not realizing how precious her grandfather's gift was.
Grandfather, you're the best! From now on, you're my real grandfather!
"Give it back to me!"
Bai Yuwei reached out to snatch it.
Meng Qianqian easily threw her to the ground! Bai Yuwei cried out in pain, "Ruan Qing! Ruan Ling! Are you dead? I'm being bullied like this! Hurry up and call my grandfather!"
"Why are you making such a racket so early in the morning?"
Liu Qingyun approached with a strong case of sleepiness, her face filled with impatience.
She held a chubby little bundle in her arms.
The little bundle tugged at her with all its might, using the strength it had from drinking milk, "Grandma Jiu! Grandma Jiu!"
Only Treasure Piggy had the guts to wake Liu Qingyun up so early in the morning.
Liu Qingyun was half-asleep and half-awake, dazed as she made her way to the little garden. As she listened to the familiar voice, she opened her eyes and was stunned.
She quickly turned around, but it was too late.
Bai Yuwei recognized her, "Auntie?"
Liu Qingyun stiffened, "You're mistaken."
Bai Yuwei endured the pain throughout her body and crawled up from the ground, walking towards Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun wanted to escape, but she was hindered by Treasure Piggy, whom she held in her arms.
Bai Yuwei circled around to face her, looking at her in disbelief, "Auntie, is it really you?"
Meng Qianqian raised her eyebrows and hugged her arms, "Oh ho."
Bai Yuwei was shocked, "Auntie, how did you end up in the capital?"
Liu Qingyun's face turned awkward, "I..."
Bai Yuwei grabbed her hand and pointed at Meng Qianqian, "You've come at the right time, Auntie. This woman stole my grandfather's Golden Silk Worm Gu!"
Meng Qianqian smiled and looked at Liu Qingyun, "So, you're Miss Bai's auntie. That means you're the daughter of the King of Miaojiang?"
Bai Yuwei proudly said, "Are you scared now?"
Yes, I'm so scared.
Lu Yuan, did you know that the grandfather you've been talking about all night is the King of Miaojiang?
Not far away, hidden behind the flower bushes, Nurse Wan, Hu Mumu, Du Madam, and Qingshuang were all shocked into a daze.
Nurse Wan, "Oh my, this is big."
Meng Qianqian said to Liu Qingyun, "Then will you tell her that I stole the Golden Silk Worm Gu?"
Bai Yuwei rolled her eyes, "If it wasn't you who stole it, then it must have been my grandfather who gave it to you?"
Liu Qingyun closed her eyes, "Yes, it was my father who gave it to her."
"Listen!" Bai Yuwei finished speaking and came back to her senses, her body trembled, "What?"
Liu Qingyun glanced behind her, "Go and ask him yourself!"
Bai Yuwei turned around and saw the King of Miaojiang striding into the garden.
All her pain instantly turned into a feeling of grievance, "Grandfather—"
Bao Shu pointed at the King of Miaojiang, her voice soft, "Grandpa?"
Meng Qianqian curved her lips, "Yes, it's Grandpa."
Bao Shu wobbled towards the King of Miaojiang, "Grandpa, hug."
