Chapter 61 Thoughts

Chen Lan held Mo Jiuwei in her arms, put her face against hers, and coaxed her: "Jiuwei, don't be angry, you are not fat at all, you are the cutest, brother is just joking with you."

"I'm not kidding, her face is that big!" Xuan'er stretched his neck to retort after taking a sip of tea, and gestured with his hand to the size of a basin, then burst into laughter.

His mother Zhang Runing gave him a glare and said with a smile, "You are such a poor child."

There was no blame in his tone, only a smile as if he was looking at a naughty child.

Chen Lan's face had darkened.

Is Mo Jiuwei fat?

Of course not!

She was still a baby, with some flesh on her cheeks, looking round and juicy, very cute.

All babies look like this, that's why there is the term "baby fat". Mo Jiuwei only has flesh on her face, but her body is actually very well-proportioned and fair, and she is not fat at all.

It would have been fine if Xuan'er was young and didn't understand what he said, but his mother knew the situation but didn't try to stop him. She even watched him act up with a doting look on her face, which made Chen Lan's attitude towards her suddenly turn cold.

Zhang Runing is the daughter of Chen Lan's aunt, and can be considered her cousin. They had a very close relationship when they were young, but as they grew older, the two families found that they were not of the same kind, and gradually became estranged.

But they are relatives after all, and the only relatives left. Chen Lan was very happy that they visited her enthusiastically, but she didn't expect to hear Xuan'er say such words.

[Humph, what an impolite family. I won't bother with them.]

[I don't know why Senior Sister Chen Lan has such a friend, and what her intentions are. ]

Mo Jiuwei wasn't really angry. She didn't want to argue with the little brat, but she did dislike this family.

"No, our Jiuwei is the most beautiful and lovely girl in the world, she is not fat." Ji Qingqing rolled her eyes silently, but because of her relationship with Chen Lan, she still left some room for her words.

"Yes, Jiuwei is the treasure of our sect, and everyone likes her very much." Yi Xingyun also said.

"Haha, Xuan'er didn't mean any harm, he was just joking with his little sister." Zhang Runing said with a smile, not taking it seriously, "Anyway, the girl is still young and can't understand."

"Who said Jiuwei doesn't understand? She..." Ji Qingqing paused halfway through, "She is a smart kid who knows everything. She has been smart since she was young!"

"Yes, yes, she looks quite smart." Zhang Runing glanced at Mo Jiuwei, and looked into her big grape-like eyes. She felt a little timid for some reason.

"Runing, it's rare to see you here. What's the matter with you coming here this time?" Chen Lan went straight to the point.

"We were busy with family matters and had no time to spare. We heard that your Xianlai Sect was in trouble and that you were not having a good life. So we came here to check on you," said Zhang Runing.

Her Taoist partner Jiang Fang nodded, "Yes, we are all family. It was rare for us to come here to visit before, so now that we have time, of course we have to take a look."

Zhang Runing said as he took out a small box. "By the way, we also brought you some things. These are all food we made ourselves. Here are two bottles of Huiling Pills. Maybe you can use them."

There were some cakes, meat patties, dried meat, and two bottles of pills in the box.

The Soul-Restoring Pill is a pill used by cultivators to restore their spiritual energy. It is very common and not worth much, but it can always be exchanged for crystals.

If these things had been given half a year earlier, it would indeed have helped alleviate the Xianlai Sect's urgent need a little. Giving them now would not be a timely help, but rather the icing on the cake.

But after all, it is a token of love from relatives. They not only contribute money but also effort, and they also make a trip. It is a token of love that is rare.

When Chen Lan looked at these things, she couldn't help but think of her deceased parents and her aunt who was quite close to her when she was young.

This touched her and made her feel nostalgic. Her expression softened and she smiled again. "Thank you so much for still thinking of me."

"Of course. After all, we are family. We are not comparable to strangers." Zhang Runing smiled brightly.

Chen Lan decided to forgive Xuan'er's previous rudeness for the sake of this box of things, but she didn't intend to take the things for free.

"Have dinner here with us later," she invited.

The people from the Xianlai Sect will also eat later, and there will be monster meat for every meal. If she adds two more dishes for them, it can be considered a sumptuous meal.

That meal was enough to repay the value of these things.

Zhang Runing and the others looked at each other and then agreed.

"Okay, it's just a bit troublesome for you."

Chen Lan smiled and shook her head, and said sincerely: "How could that be? You're welcome. We are all family."

Ji Qingqing and Yi Xingyun also nodded.

They were just like Senior Sister Chen. The anger they had originally had disappeared when they saw the box of things.

It's not that they are snobbish, but the Xianlai Sect has been in trouble for so long, and there are very few people who are willing to come to them and show them kindness. Each of them is quite precious.

Considering this kindness, the child's verbal offense can be forgiven.

But Mo Jiuwei had different ideas from them——

[snort.]

[Those with shifty eyes definitely have bad intentions. ]

Eh? Sly eyes?

Chen Lan looked at her cousin and cousin-in-law in confusion. Although the two of them had a shrewd look on their faces, they had nothing to do with being shifty.

This made Chen Lan laugh a little, and she wondered if Mo Jiuwei was still angry about Xuan'er's previous inappropriate words and deeds.

I'll have to take some time to comfort her later.

If they wanted to keep guests for lunch, they would have to add more dishes. Chen Lan asked Ji Qingqing to go to the market to buy some things, and asked Yi Xingyun to inform Uncle Liu and the others that they had guests.

Then, he took Mo Jiuwei and Zhang Runing to the kitchen, and Xuan'er followed behind.

Mo Jiuwei really likes to come to the kitchen so that she can feast her eyes while preparing the ingredients and get some food in the middle.

So when everyone comes to the kitchen, they will bring her along, and if they find out what she likes, they will feed her appropriately.

"I'll ask Qingqing to buy some fish and make a dish for lunch." Chen Lan said to Zhang Runing, "Xuan'er, what kind of snacks do you like? Auntie will make it for you."

"Don't bother, just follow the host's wishes." Zhang Runing said with a smile.

But Xuan Er stuck his head out and said, "I want to eat Green Yun Su. I saw you have Green Yun leaves here."

Green Yunsu pastry is made from green Yunsu leaves. You have to pick some of the tenderest leaf buds, wash them, rinse them with water, squeeze out the juice and make them into pastries. It will have a very refreshing aroma and you will never get tired of it no matter how much you eat.

It's just a little time-consuming.

Zhang Runing had done this for Xuan'er several times at home, but because it was time-consuming, she didn't do it that often.
