Chapter 30: Wang Ying’s Survival Guide in Kindergarten [4K]
After Luxianbei’s eye surgery, shortly after being discharged from the hospital, she had to follow the doctor’s advice and avoid excessive eye strain, making it impossible to play games. Living alone in the Jingyi Apartment Complex, unable to play games, she found herself wandering aimlessly.
During one of her strolls, she encountered a Middle-Aged Man who, not returning home as night fell, was crouched alone in the small garden pavilion, covering his face and quietly crying.
Seeing such a scene, could the ever-kind Luxianbei ignore it?
She approached him, offering a tissue while expressing her concern. “Hey, are you okay? Did a loved one pass away?”
“No? Is your wife cheating, and she’s in the car you bought her?” “Also not? Did your boss scold you at work, and all your stocks turned red?”
Under Luxianbei’s relentless questioning, to avoid losing control and hitting her, the Middle-Aged Man took a deep breath and confessed the truth. He was driven out by his wife demanding the household taxes.
For three months, not a day passed without interruptions, and he really couldn’t take it anymore! “I get it, it’s because you’re not up to it!” Luxianbei told him at that moment.
Back then, she thought the Middle-Aged Man was oblivious to his blessings, but today, she could finally understand his feeling of being “unable to go home.”
The things Jumeng was preparing would scare anyone if they saw them!
Casting a glance at the direction of the suite above, Luxianbei sighed silently. “Forget it, let’s rest first. I’ll check on how the Ancestor and Wang Ying are getting along in the God Realm Prototype.”
After mumbling to herself, she weakly lifted her right hand, fingers splayed, activating her connection to the God Realm Prototype. In the next moment, a grand spirit energy fluctuation surged forth, and a faint golden light burst from her delicate fingertips, weaving a splendid and complex phantom of a banyan tree before her.
As if turning some kind of switch, Luxianbei’s hand spun 180 degrees in the air, and the banyan tree phantom inverted accordingly. In that instant when the banyan tree phantom completed its reversal, the surrounding space seemed to be violently impacted by a force, suddenly shaking. The golden airflow stirred up by the spirit energy fluctuation pulled at Luxianbei’s silver hair, making it dance behind her.
Moments later, the banyan tree phantom blazed brightly, engulfing her figure.
“DUANG——!”
Accompanied by a dull sound of metal clashing, a close-fitting fish scale armor etched with a golden banyan tree pattern fell to the ground. This was the primordial state of Ling Tai Purification, completed and integrated with the God Realm Prototype.
——
Just past six in the morning, the cycles of the sun and moon in the God Realm Prototype still maintained the state from five years ago. Looking up, the horizon was already beginning to brighten. Under the hazy sky, the jungle of steel and concrete was stirring, with early risers lighting up their lights, each representing a different life.
However, the lives of the residents in the Lu Family Manor were somewhat absurd.
Pushing open the somewhat aged wooden door and standing on the threshold, Luxianbei was stunned at the scene in the manor’s backyard.
In front of the open-air washstand stood two people. One was wearing an ancient white gown, exuding a cool demeanor, while the other—a small figure—was wearing a simplistic red bib and was barely able to reach the washstand by standing on a small stool.
They were Xuan Ying Luo Fu and Wang Ying.
They stood side by side, each holding a canister of salt in their left hand and a willow branch in their right, synchronously dipping the branch into the salt and poking it into their mouths, stirring it wildly.
Luxianbei, “???”
What on earth? What’s going on?
Why is Xuan Ying Luo Fu taking care of Wang Ying? Where’s the Ancestor?
Also, are they brushing their teeth? Why aren’t they using toothpaste?
The scene before her held too many absurdities; Luxianbei thought that if she let it go free, she could talk about it all day.
After a few moments, Xuan Ying Luo Fu noticed Luxianbei standing at the door. She put down the salt can and willow branch, walked over with an expressionless face, and said, “You’re here? I’ll leave this to you. Remember to take her to school later, just turn right at the end of this street.”
The end of Mudan Street? Isn’t that the Xiaohonghua Kindergarten? Although I would also send Wang Ying to school, why is it Xiaohonghua Kindergarten and not Huacheng Kindergarten?
In her confusion, as she saw Xuan Ying Luo Fu turning to leave, Luxianbei snapped back to reality, calling out, “Wait, why are you here taking care of Wang Ying? Where’s the Ancestor?”
“Hehe!” Xuan Ying Luo Fu sneered twice, glancing at the second floor of the manor.
Upon seeing her expression, Luxianbei immediately understood—Qing Ji was still sleeping in.
After a moment of contemplation, Luxianbei tentatively asked, “Did the Ancestor force you to take care of Wang Ying?”
Using force, verbal persuasion, or enticing benefits, Qing Ji absolutely could compel Xuan Ying Luo Fu to care for Wang Ying.
“Not at all!” Xuan Ying Luo Fu raised her chin slightly, proudly declaring, “No one can force me to do something I don’t want to do.”
She genuinely couldn’t bear to watch anymore; she had never seen parents who would forget their children at training school without picking them up or seen a parent making a three-year-old cook for themselves or forcing their child to throw things at a nearly meter-high wolf dog in a fight.
The most outrageous part was using a weakened spell formula to practice by treating the child as a target, beautifying it with claims that it would help the child deeply understand the characteristics of various spell formulas.
If Wang Ying were not an urban legend, she’d probably have died seven or eight times in these past few days.
“I remember you didn’t want to leave Zixiao Terrace with me back then.”
As Xuan Ying Luo Fu pondered, Luxianbei’s voice drifted into her ears. The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and she irritably said, “Well…”
“Oh right, it was me convincing you later that you followed me down the mountain, right?” Luxianbei narrowed her eyes.
Upon hearing this, the fervor in Xuan Ying Luo Fu’s chest gradually returned to normal. After shooting Luxianbei a sidelong glance, she coldly retorted, “Glad to remember.”
Compared to the idea of being tricked down the mountain, she found it much more acceptable to admit that she followed willingly.
“By the way, since you have childcare skills, Wang Ying may trouble you more in the future.” Luxianbei remarked.
She originally thought if Xuan Ying Luo Fu wasn’t forced by Qing Ji to take care of Wang Ying, then she must really like Wang Ying to do so. Therefore, asking Xuan Ying Luo Fu to continue taking care of Wang Ying should not be a problem.
However,
After hearing Luxianbei’s words, Xuan Ying Luo Fu’s lips almost formed the shape of “okay” in an instant, but then, as if recalling something unpleasant, her eyes trembled slightly, flashing a fierce look.
“No way! Delusional! Absolutely impossible!”
She had clearly already decided never to help her “master” take care of their offspring again, and it was Luxianbei’s words that made her remember what she had gone through, effectively preventing mistakes from happening again.
Luxianbei, “???”
What’s with the triple rejection? Why so suddenly angry? Wasn’t everything fine just a moment ago?
Watching Xuan Ying Luo Fu’s clenched teeth, the muscle curves faintly visible on her side profile, her tightly clenched fists, and her body that trembled slightly with anger, Luxianbei instantly realized that this time Xuan Ying Luo Fu was genuinely angry.
But… why?
It was only at this moment that Luxianbei realized she knew very little about Xuan Ying Luo Fu. It seemed she would have to find more opportunities later to understand her sword-handling miss better.
Seeing Xuan Ying Luo Fu angrily swish her sleeve and enter the small second floor of the Lu Family Manor, seeming to go somewhere unknown, Luxianbei steadied herself and waved to Wang Ying, who was still staring blankly at her.
“Wang Ying, come here, I have something important to discuss with you.”
Still brushing her teeth with a willow branch, upon hearing Luxianbei’s call, Wang Ying splashed some water in her mouth, “Gululu,” swirling the salty and bitter taste before jumping down from the small stool and running over, throwing herself into Luxianbei’s embrace.
“Good girl!” Luxianbei patted Wang Ying’s head and pointed in the direction Xuan Ying Luo Fu had left, “I’ll ask you, do you like that big sister from just now?”
Wang Ying frowned, seriously considering for a moment, then nodded. That big sister smelled nice, and surely was delicious!
“Then she’ll be your godmother from now on; if you want something, just find her. If she doesn’t agree, you just hug her leg and cry, okay?”
Although she didn’t know why Xuan Ying Luo Fu refused to take care of Wang Ying and was so angry, Luxianbei felt that since she would take care of Wang Ying while Qing Ji was slacking off, deep down she must like Wang Ying very much, she just didn’t want to express her feelings for some reason.
Godmother? Hearing this term, Wang Ying’s eyes lit up, pointing at her mouth. She remembered having eaten Laoganma (a brand of chili sauce) at Luxianbei’s home; it tasted great, and she had always remembered it.
“Not that kind of godmother!” Luxianbei gently tapped Wang Ying’s small hand, “Um, how to say it? I mean, when I’m not here, treat her like me.”
Wang Ying tilted her head, blinking her big eyes, staring blankly at Luxianbei for a few seconds before nodding, as if understanding something.
“It’s okay if you don’t understand right now; you’ll get it gradually,” Luxianbei said, changing her tone to a softer one, “By the way, I heard the Ancestor sent you to kindergarten? Tell me, what have you been doing there?”
Wang Ying furrowed her little brows, her expression serious as she fell silent for a few seconds, then said the first sentence to Luxianbei after turning into human form.
“Got bullied!”
Looking at Wang Ying’s earnest little face, Luxianbei felt a bit dazed. The second generation of Inheritance Beasts got bullied by a group of little brats?
What a ridiculous plot!
“How did they bully you?”
“Stole my fruit!” Wang Ying pouted, seeming a bit angry.
Luxianbei, “Whose child? How terrible! Don’t they know that if they provoke Wang Ying, the whole kindergarten will be doomed? Although she had told Wang Ying before not to act against ordinary people, but what if?
“So do you want to not get bullied, or even steal their fruits back?”
Is that possible? Wang Ying’s eyes widened, her little head nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
“Listen closely, I’ll teach you how to do it. First, when they steal from you, don’t resist; just generously give them what you have.” Hearing this, Wang Ying immediately became unwilling, shaking her little head like a rattle drum.
Before, she was just having some things taken, but now why should she give them freely?
“Hey, don’t shake your head. Let me finish! After you’ve given them your share, just cry. Don’t cry out loud, just make sure your eyes are teary and you look especially wronged, got it? But you must make the teacher notice you.”
“After the teacher sees why you’re crying, don’t tell her; just look at the little brats who stole your fruit, and at that moment, you can start crying out loud.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ying seemed to understand Luxianbei’s intent, bursting into giggles, “Hehehe.”
Although after “rebirth,” she might seem a bit silly due to her insufficient understanding of this world, she was not stupid at all.
With her powers, as long as someone was willing to teach her, she could learn anything she wanted.
From a certain perspective, the only difference between her and the former Inheritance Beast was the lack of enough samples to swallow and replicate, resulting in a deficit of knowledge and information.
“Don’t rush to laugh; it’s not over yet! After that, when school is over, keep an eye on those little brats. When their parents show up, quickly go over and ask if today’s fruit was delicious. Your fruit got stolen, and you didn’t eat any; will they set one aside for you tomorrow?”
“After that, you can write down all the naughty things they did in kindergarten and tell their parents in the same manner. Then, you can stop telling their parents and scare them using their mischief; you can even command them to help you steal other people’s fruit.”
“Wang Ying, remember, you are a very cute little child now. You need to leverage your appearance and status, got it?”
Cute yet cunning children are always a frightening existence.
After listening, Wang Ying tilted her head, looking at Luxianbei, her eyes seemingly asking, “Can this really work?”
“Don’t worry!” Luxianbei ruffled Wang Ying’s hair, “Just do as I say, and it will definitely work! I’ll put together a guide for you later!”
“Alright, now go find that big sister and let her take you to kindergarten. If she doesn’t agree, remember what I just taught you?”
“Hehe!” Wang Ying smiled, hugging Luxianbei’s leg tightly and looking up at her, blinking her watery big eyes. “Yingying!”
Yes, yes, yes, just like that!
Truly an Inheritance Beast, picking things up fast.
Being clung to by such a little girl, who was like a work of art, and acting cute, who could withstand it?! Luxianbei thought, as Wang Ying’s voice rang in her ears again.
“Yingying!”
Looking down at Wang Ying, her gaze meeting those jewel-like eyes, Luxianbei paused for a moment and then seemed to understand Wang Ying’s intention as the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.
Wow! The things I just taught you, you are using them on me right away, huh? But, is this really taught by me? It feels a bit scheming.
Looks like you’ve surpassed your teacher, Luxianbei thought.
