Chapter 2179

"I feel the same way," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "I don't mind if this dynasty falls. It’s not scary. But it should fall naturally, like a leaf falling from a tree. Now, it’s ending because of outside forces. Especially non-human forces. I don’t like that." Zhu Yanyi snorted.

"I didn't like the first emperor of the Dayu Dynasty. But I also don't like that Meizu woman who cast the curse."

"About the Meizu people," Yan Aohan explained directly, "they are always self-righteous. Their curses depend on the situation. This time, the curse worked mainly because of the Cold-Hearted Young Master’s push."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi suddenly said, "Aohan, do you think we should scheme against this Cold-Hearted Young Master?"

Her behavior annoyed Zhu Yanyi. Her palms itched. She wanted to hit someone again.

"Hmm?" Yan Aohan tilted his head, waiting for her to continue.

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "This Cold-Hearted Young Master never thinks before acting. Shouldn't we punish her? Like, put her in a sack and beat her up." She said this with great confidence, feeling no guilt at all.

Yan Aohan coughed several times at her habit of hitting people. Then he said, "Wife, if we really want to beat her, we don't need a sack. In this world, only Ouyang Mingyue and I can beat her."

Zhu Yanyi stuck out her tongue. "Right. I forgot she is a Golden Immortal."

Yan Aohan was speechless. "Alright, wife. If you dislike him, just avoid him in the future."

"I don't want to interact with her. But look at her. I’m afraid she will cause trouble for me when we go to the true cultivation world." Zhu Yanyi sighed.

Zhu Yanyi trusted her instincts. She wasn't wrong. Someone like the Cold-Hearted Young Master would never change her mind.

Yan Aohan understood, but he wasn't worried. "The cultivation world respects strength. But your cultivation is not bad. He is already a Golden Immortal, so he can’t stay in the cultivation world every day. The Heavenly Dao won’t allow it. At most, he will use a puppet or a representative to deal with you. You don’t need to fear him at all."

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "I’m not afraid. You know I never fear anyone. I just don’t want trouble. You know I’m lazy. I’m only diligent in medicine."

Yan Aohan chuckled. He knew his wife well.

Indeed, except for medicine, Zhu Yanyi was very lazy. This didn’t mean she disliked chores. She still did housework. But she disliked using her brain to scheme against people. Her mind was full of medical knowledge.

"It’s fine. We can also find representatives to fight him. There are smart people in the world, not just him," Yan Aohan said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi thought about it. It made sense. She then forgot about the Cold-Hearted Young Master.

"Aohan, there are small wontons ahead. Let’s go eat a bowl."

Not far away, there was a stall selling wontons. Zhu Yanyi hadn’t eaten wontons or snacks at small stalls for a long time. Seeing this stall reminded her of her time in Huaxia.

Yan Aohan nodded and pulled her over. "Boss, two bowls of small wontons."

"Coming right up." The boss was a young man. Next to her was a young woman with a baby on her back. Clearly, it was a family business.

The two bowls of wontons arrived quickly. Zhu Yanyi looked at them. The soup was clear, not too oily. The wontons were cooked just right. Zhu Yanyi picked up a spoon, scooped a wonton, blew on it a few times, and put it in her mouth. The taste was perfect. "It’s pure mushroom soup. Very fresh."

"This lady has a sensitive tongue," the boss laughed. "We pick wild mushrooms from the mountain ourselves. That’s why it tastes so fresh. We eat this at home too." The boss specially gave Zhu Yanyi a small bowl of mushroom sauce. "This is for you. We eat it ourselves too."

Zhu Yanyi smiled and tasted the mushroom sauce. "Boss, you are really good at business."

Just then, the child beside them started crying. The boss’s wife looked心疼 (heart-aching) and put the baby down. She checked the diaper. It was wet. She changed it, then went aside to feed the baby. Afterward, she came out holding the child.

"Is this the boss and boss’s wife’s child?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a smile.

"Yes, only six months old," the boss’s wife said with kindness in her eyes. "Our family is poor. The child suffers with us every day, exposed to wind and rain. she probably can’t stand it, so she cries a lot these days. Sorry to disturb you."

"Can I hold this child?" Zhu Yanyi asked. Her bright eyes made it hard for the boss to refuse.

The boss’s wife smiled. "Of course." She carefully placed the sleepy child in Zhu Yanyi’s arms.

Zhu Yanyi gently patted her back. Zhu Yanyi had wood energy, which attracted children. The child opened her eyes, cooed, and wanted to get closer to Zhu Yanyi. Then she fell asleep peacefully.

This surprised the boss’s wife. "My child hasn’t slept so peacefully for a long time."

Zhu Yanyi held the child with one hand and placed her finger in her hand. "It seems the baby likes me too."

"This child is usually shy with strangers," the boss’s wife said, surprised.

Zhu Yanyi carefully handed the sleeping child back to the boss’s wife. Then she said, "Meeting is fate. I don’t have much, but I have a peach wood amulet. I’ll give it to her." Zhu Yanyi took out a peach wood charm, threaded a red string through it, and carefully hung it around the child’s neck.

The boss’s wife saw it was just a peach wood amulet, so she didn’t refuse. "Thank you, lady."

"You’re welcome," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "The child is still small. Try not to bring her out in the future. The world is chaotic now. No one knows what will happen. It’s too dangerous for the child here."

The boss’s wife was stunned first. Then she looked at the boss. The boss hurriedly said, "Lady, does this mean there is a problem?"
