424 – Pulling A Stunt On Uncle; A Strange Man In Black (7)
Gong Zixuan was angry and annoyed. She wanted to say something but swallowed her words when she saw that Mo Xuanzun was right there as well. Nonetheless the anger was still obvious on her pretty face.
“Where’s my uncle? Is he back yet?” ask Cheng Xiao Xiao purposefully.
Gong Zixuan couldn’t help but grumble in a low voice, “You have to ask? Were you trying to kill him?”
“Awwwww, look at how much big sister Zixuan’s heart is aching!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao without feeling any guilt. A bright smile on her face, she held Gong Zixuan by her hand and said, “C’mon, let’s go visit him!”
“No! If you want to go, you can go by yourself!”
“C’mon! Don’t be like that. Come, come. Come with me!”
With the coyish girl in toll, Cheng Xiao Xiao walked out of her own courtyard and toward the guest quarters.
Mo Xuanzun watched the two girls left then smiled and shook his head. He didn’t say much but sat down and started sipping his tea nonchalantly.
“AHAHAHAHAHA!” Loud laughter could be heard coming from the guest quarter and the servants of the Cheng’s looked at each other, wondering what made their Young Miss so happy.
After seeing her uncle in the guest quarter with his head covered in bumps, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally realized why even someone who was usually tender like Gong Zixuan wanted to snap at her. This was….
That was simply horrifying!
“AHAHAHAHAHA!”
The more she looked at it, the more Cheng Xiao Xiao found it funny. So funny that she couldn’t even stop laughing. Gong Zixuan, standing next to her, was enraged, “What was so funny about that! Give him the antidote quickly!”
“No… there is no antidote. AHAHAHAHAHA!”
The one with his head swollen to almost twice its normal size looked at the one who was laughing so hard she was about to roll on the floor and said helplessly, “Xiao Xiao, you are crazy, you.”
“Uncle, how did you get sting so many times with your cultivation?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite surprised, she thought he was going to get a few bumps at most and let Gong Zixuan worried a little bit for him. She didn’t expect the little bees to try so hard and stung him up and down his face.
Luckily, these bees were not poisonous and none of these would be life-threatening. They would, however, be painful. Seeing the nonchalant look on her uncle, Cheng Xiao Xiao knew he’d be fine.
Luo Junhao knew that she was just messing around with him so he didn’t care much about it. He merely responded nonchalantly, “You gave your order to the bees so they must follow their order and not give up until they have stung me successfully.”
“Little sister Xiao Xiao, that’s not funny. That was a bit much!” said Gong Zixuan, her heart still aching for the object of her affection.
Luo Junhao merely gave her look and said, “Shi mei Gong, don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal. I’ll get well before you know it!”
“Big sister Zixuan, if you want to help Uncle, you can smash some fresh ginger and dab the wounds with the juice. It will help him heal faster!”
“I will go check and see if they have raw ginger in the kitchen right now!”
Having said that, Gong Zixuan stood up immediately and hurried out of the room. Luo Junhao paused for a second and, right when he was about to tell her not to bother, she had already disappeared into the courtyard.
“Hehe….”
Seeing her uncle’s reaction, Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded contently, “It seems my idea is working out quite well. Even though Uncle is hurting a little bit, but at least you have a pretty girl worried about you. That’s good! That’s good!”
“Behave yourself!” scolded Luo Junhao was a tensed look without saying anything else.
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him, a little surprised, “Uncle, don’t tell me you don’t like girls!”
“Stop being silly!” Luo Junhao frowned, “You are a girl and should watch what you say. And stop pulling childish pranks. You are already engaged and shouldn’t act like a child anymore! You need to start behaving yourself!”
“What about you, Uncle? I am engaged already, how much longer are you going to wait?” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t going to let him off the hook easily.
“Uncle, mom worries about you too. You are not getting any younger and the Luo’s are still waiting for you to pass on the family tree. Shouldn’t you be looking for a wife?”
