My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 625 - 0363 The Vision That Should Be (Two-in-One)_2

"Don’t know." The young servant girl shook her head: "Auntie said... listen to Miss Lu, or you’ll get beaten."

It was Miss Lu who instructed her to come.

"Do you know what this is?" Zhu Pingniang pointed to the clear water she was using to wash dishes.

"Water."

"It’s rainwater."

Zhu Pingniang gently scooped the water from the basin, seriously saying: "This is the rainwater I collected just now... Heh, I want to use this rainwater to wash dishes and see if he can sense the aura from the rain when he uses them for dinner."

"?" The young girl was even more confused.

Using rainwater... to wash dishes?

Does Ms. Zhu dislike the Young Master?

Aunt at the Flower Moon Building told her that rainwater from the sky is not clean, and even if you drink it, it must be boiled.

Zhu Pingniang did not speak.

Because she had already thought through everything she needed to.

Just like the maidservants and young girls couldn’t understand her sudden whim to wash dishes here, thinking it was wasteful and meaningless.

She also couldn’t understand the seemingly reincarnated immortal Xu Chang’an’s reason, thinking if someone was an immortal, they should have more important matters rather than coming down to play with them.

Some things don’t necessarily need a reason — that’s one.

The second is perspective.

If Xu Chang’an really is an immortal reincarnation, then his perspective has long surpassed what she can understand, just like the young girl thought the Immortal Sect would use spells to wash dishes.

How are they not using their shallow understanding to think that an immortal should be "this or that."

Just like the rain from the sky or a flash of lightning, completely bewildering them.

"This feeling... realizing that you’re actually standing very low and completely don’t understand this world..."

Zhu Pingniang wiped water marks on the young girl’s face, speaking in her foggy vision: "It’s really uncomfortable."

"Ms. Zhu, I... I’m not smart, I don’t understand." The young girl cautiously said.

"You’re not stupid." Zhu Pingniang smiled dotingly: "Quite the opposite, you’re very clever."

"Really?" Hearing Zhu Pingniang’s words, the young girl suddenly gained confidence.

Maybe, she really is a smart person?

Zhu Pingniang looked at the young girl before her, thinking she did quite resemble her younger self, just a tad more lively.

Now, the Hehuan Sect’s leader is her eldest sister, Second Lady of Gu Qiancheng.

However, her sister is only the current Sect Leader of Hehuan Sect, able to become leader because the former Sect Leader, Gu Qiancheng’s mother, the previous owner of the Hehuan Bell, is no longer there.

Thinking of that woman, Zhu Pingniang felt a slight daze.

Because as a child, that woman whose bell sounds would jingle wherever she went, never despised her ignorance and aloofness, would hold her hand and talk about many things that she couldn’t understand even now.

Zhu Pingniang sighed, realizing something.

Oh no.

Her liking for girls might have started from childhood...

Maybe her first love and Ah Zi are the same?

Were both Gu Qiancheng’s mother?

If Ah Bai knew she liked girls because of attractive elders from childhood...

She feared she’d never be able to hold her head high for the rest of her life.

Zhu Pingniang suddenly stood up, lightly jumping under the eaves, her red skirt gently swaying, then beckoned to the girl still standing dazed in the rain.

"Come in."

"Oh." The young girl took a few steps forward.

"You go ahead, I don’t need you to hold the umbrella." Zhu Pingniang looked at the rainwater outside the eaves and nodded.

"Eh?" The young girl glanced back at the dishes and chopsticks Zhu Pingniang had carefully cleaned, now exposed to rainwater, freshly washed dishes again wet with rain, momentarily bewildered.

Sister... was saying?

Not about cleaning them?

Why just leave them in the rain?

Zhu Pingniang thought she really couldn’t manage now because right now she was just an ordinary woman without an umbrella, she would get caught in the rain.

And there was only one umbrella, let the young girl take it back.

"Listen." Zhu Pingniang gave the young girl a look, then motioned toward the alley, smiling: "Someone’s here to take your place."

The young girl turned to look, saw nothing, but Zhu Pingniang would never deceive her, so she pondered.

"Sister, is... is Young Master Xu here?" She asked.

"See, I said you’re a clever girl." Zhu Pingniang’s smile brightened.

Because it was beautiful, the young girl stared at her for a while.

"Oh right." Zhu Pingniang remembered, glancing toward the alley, then whispered in the young girl’s ear: "Ni Zi, I noticed you’re a bit weak... has Gui water come?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the young girl’s ears turned bright red, "Reporting, Sister, it... it has."

"Was this your first, and it caused some confusion?"

"Uh... yes."

The young girl nodded, before her aunt realized, she thought she was dying.

Later she realized, women all have Gui water.

"Don’t worry, it’s a good thing." Zhu Pingniang patted her head: "Know why nowadays it’s women reaching the pinnacle in the Cultivation Realm... it’s because of balance."

"Balance?" The young girl tilted her head.

"In the mortal world, men are strong and sturdy, neither gestating for ten months nor troubled by Gui water, so they lead in everything." Zhu Pingniang casually said: "But in the Immortal Sect, the once cumbersome Gui water helps open Spirit Roads, providing more cultivation opportunities... giving a chance to take a step further."

Of course, it’s only a chance.

This era, ultimately, Heaven’s favor leans toward women.

The young girl seemed half-understanding.

"So, don’t think of Gui water as a nuisance." Zhu Pingniang seriously said: "Did you hear that?"

Being with her, she would ascend the Immortal Sect in the future anyway.

"Understood." The young girl nodded seriously.

Zhu Pingniang remembered something, taking out a fragrant elixir from her ring.

"Girl, take this to eat."

"What is this?" The young girl obediently accepted the dark pill, smelling a pleasant scent.

"Ah Bai’s elixir, to fend off cold." Zhu Pingniang waved, Li Zhibai had given her most of the failed or inadequate elixirs, for giving to mortal girls whenever possible.

Though they were failed, lacking Spiritual Power, they were still good, making mortals’ physical stamina improve shortly, at least helping recover strength.

"Just... eat it?" Looking at the dark thing in hand, the young girl momentarily hesitated.

Dark, textured like fibers in grass, unlikely to dissolve.

Eat?

How could one possibly swallow?

"Yeah, you resemble the timid me of the past." Zhu Pingniang clicked her tongue, lightly kicked her.

"Go back now, let your aunt teach you how to eat it."

"...Oh."

The young girl, nudged gently, took a few steps before turning to hug Zhu Pingniang’s waist, then blushing, holding the umbrella, she trotted away.

Zhu Pingniang watched her back.

The wind returned, cool.

She thought it wasn’t the young girl resembling her, but she missed Gu Qiancheng’s mother.

Back then, that woman with the bell fed her elixirs she didn’t like the same way.

Blink.

So now the young girl is just like she was...

Did she give these girls a taste of how her sister treated her those days?

Zhu Pingniang didn’t know, but knew... in the Flower Moon Building, indeed many girls loved each other, just like before, the young lady would surely like her very much in the future.

She was insightful, aware they liked her.

So, Miss Lu saying these girls were her dowry wasn’t entirely wrong.

But... Zhu Pingniang thought she was never a good person.

Giving herself a dowry, what’s wrong with that?

With a hum, Zhu Pingniang looked toward the alley.

The previous Miss Lu badmouthing her got whipped.

"Come out, Xiaochang’an who likes to badmouth people."
