The General’s Genius Daughter

Yun Shimo paid no attention to Hua Zun and went to the kitchen to make the sober-up tea. When the tea was ready and at the right temperature, he took it to Hua Qiyue’s room.

When Yun Shimo saw that the three men—Sun Moon Deity, Tianpi, and Hua Zun were still in the room and that everyone looked different, his eyes were terribly gloomy. What did these men mean by staying in a woman’s boudoir?

Seeing that Yun Shimo pulled a long face, Sun Moon Deity went out first. Hua Zun and Tianpi exchanged glances and withdrew in silence as well.

Yun Shimo handed the sober-up tea over to Tianci. Hua Qiyue was not asleep, mumbling to herself.

“Tianci, when will you marry… Hmm, I’m going to be a mother-in-law. Heheheh… It won’t be long before I have a grandchild.”

Hua Qiyue was too drunk to speak clearly. But Tianci could hear her clearly. He could not help smiling. “Mom, you’re so drunk. I’m only eleven!”

With these words, he helped Hua Qiyue up and made her drink the bowl of sober-up tea carefully.

Yun Shimo was helping Tianci on one side. Half-drunk and half-awake, Hua Qiyue saw Yun Shimo. “You…… you go away. I don’t want to see you. You’re a hypocritical… hypocritical beast…”

Yun Shimo was truly speechless. Why did he suddenly become a beast?

Tianci burst out laughing. “Mom, if he were a beast, you’d be about the same. After all, it’s normal for one to fall in love with another of the same kind…”

During these two years, Tianci had bought a lot of picture books, some famous novels, storybooks, and so on in Ice City. He had learned to read and understood masterpieces and the history. The way the little fellow spoke was getting more and more interesting.

There was finally a smile on Yun Shimo’s face. It was enough that his son was on his side. A woman’s heart was easily softened. Even if she didn’t forgive him now, she would excuse him one day.

After Hua Qiyue drank more than half a bowl of sober-up tea, her stuffy chest finally cleared up. Yun Shimo took the bowl away, and Tianci put her on the bed. “Mom, take a good rest. You’ll be all right after a good night’s sleep. Here you are, this is the Mind-refreshing Pill I refined.”

After feeding Hua Qiyue a medicine pellet, Tianci left with Yun Shimo. In fact, the medicine pellet was made by Yun Shimo. It was only because Tianci was afraid Hua Qiyue wouldn’t take it that he lied to her.

After leaving Hua Qiyue’s chamber, Yun Shimo took Tianci to the Bodhi Tree outside the palace.

Everything was enveloped by snow, but the Bodhi Tree, holy and with an air of Buddhism, was so green. It was indeed a magical tree.

“Daddy, what have you done to make mom so angry? It’s been so long, and she’s still angry!” Tianci sat down beside Yun Shimo and said with a smile.

A man suddenly appeared not far away. It turned out to be Hua Zun. He was carrying several rabbits and a snake weighing more than five kilograms.

Hua Zun knew that Hua Qiyue would get tired of eating the same kind of porridge every day, so he specially went out to hunt.

Yun Shimo glanced at Hua Zun as he approached. Although the other side had a babyface, he just didn’t like him.

“Daddy…… That was a mistake I made a long time ago. I can’t even remember that, but your mom does,” Yun Shimo said calmly after thinking about it for a moment.

Hua Zun said sarcastically at once, laughing, “Tianci, don’t believe him. If he’d merely made a minor mistake, your mom wouldn’t have gone so long without forgiving him.”

Tianci pouted. ” I don’t like it when daddy and mom get on each other’s nerves.”

Hua Zun paused, thinking that Tianci was Hua Qiyue’s son, and for a moment, he was in no mood for further irony. He gave a cold snort and took his prey away.

“I have no choice but to wait for your mom to cool down slowly. Don’t worry. Daddy won’t leave you this time, no matter what.”

Tianci’s eyes shone, and his lovely round face rubbed against Yun Shimo’s hand. “Certainly. I am so well-behaved and lovely. How could daddy leave me?”

Yun Shimo’s heart ached a little at Tianci’s words. Holding Tianci, he suddenly felt that all the suffering was worth it.

When Hua Qiyue woke up, she found that it was seven o ‘clock in the afternoon. Her stomach rumbled. Hearing the noise, Tianci ran in laughing from the outside. “Mom, get up. The supper is ready. There are so many delicacies to eat tonight—roast rabbit, snake broth, and other sweets.”

“Who made the sweets?” Hua Qiyue raised her brows indifferently. Hua Zun and Tianpi were not good at making sweets, so it was definitely not them.

“Daddy taught me to make sweets!” Tianci smiled proudly, his white teeth gleaming.

Hua Qiyue touched his head, and the softness of his hair gave her some pleasure. Although she felt a little heavy on her head, she was generally fine.

“Then I must try,” Hua Qiyue said with a smile. She then went with Tianci into the dining-room.

Yun Shimo and the others had taken their seats in the dining-room, and even the Asura Chicken and the Man-Hunting Insect had their places. They all stared at the appetizing soup and dishes on the table, almost salivating.

“Mom, sit down!” Tianci pulled at Hua Qiyue to sit. Hua Qiyue saw that there were actually three bowls of sweets in front of her—osmanthus cakes, water chestnut cakes, and five-nuts mooncakes.

The Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed. Yun Shimo felt very lonely in this Mid-Autumn Festival, for he was still on his way here.

He came here all the way and missed the Mid-Autumn Festival. He passed through some small towns, where he saw people put festive lanterns on the water, making wishes by the river, and lovers walk in pairs. He felt quite lonely in his heart.

So he made a kind of special mooncake. Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows and watched Tianci in disbelief. “You did all this?”

“Yes, daddy taught me to make them. Mom, I’m not a child anymore, so I have to learn more.” Tianci smiled sweetly and immediately put a small five-nuts mooncake in Hua Qiyue’s bowl.

The fillings were made of peanuts, melon seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, walnuts, and some boiled lean meat.

She took a bite of it. The taste of the mooncake was extraordinarily good, soft and sweet. After taking a small bite, Hua Qiyue glanced at Yun Shimo.

That guy had a calm expression. So he didn’t make it?

Everyone looked strange, and finally, Hua Zun could not help but snort. “Tianci, are you really capable of making such a thing? Someone else did it, didn’t they?”

Since Yun Shimo’s arrival, Hua Zun had seldom made meals. He had no opportunity to cook because Yun Shimo had deprived him of his job as the chef.

Hua Zun couldn’t do anything about it. After all, he was unable to defeat Yun Shimo.

“Hmph, Uncle Hua Zun, don’t belittle me like that. I’m now at the first level of Great Deity. When you were my age, what was your level of Qi Art? So, I am so gifted, and no one can follow me!” Tianci said and shook his head triumphantly.

His words amused Hua Qiyue. The little fellow was getting cockier and cockier, but he was telling the truth.

Hua Zun’s face was grim. When he was Tianci’s age, he was probably at the great completeness of Moon Eclipse. He was very powerful at that time.

He hadn’t expected a more gifted genius to emerge ten thousand years later. He felt so daunted by his talent that he dared not utter a word of objection.

The atmosphere of this dinner was not too stiff. For the first time ever, Hua Qiyue ate patiently.

Yun Shimo was the first to finish eating, and then he left the dining room. Hua Qiyue felt more at ease since then, and her belly grew round. She and Tianci walked a lot of circles outside before digesting a little food.

Hua Qiyue simply went to take a hot spring bath with Tianci an hour later because the little fellow said that it was cold outside and a hot spring bath every night would help him sleep better.

The hot spring was inside the palace, but there was only one. Therefore, after Hua Qiyue and Tianci went in, they asked the Man-Hunting Insect to guard outside.

The natural hot spring was relaxing and not too hot. Hua Qiyue was wearing a purple dress that clung to her body. But with so many garments on, she was not worried about being seen.

“Little master, little master, come out first…” the Man-Hunting Insect cried outside suddenly.

“What’s the matter? Fly in!” Tianci was having a great time taking a bath and was unwilling to go outside.

“Little master, I dare not go in. It’s not appropriate!” The strange cry of the Man-Hunting Insect made Hua Qiyue laugh. The little fellow had to grumble and run out unhappily.

As soon as Tianci left, Hua Qiyue was on the alert. She always felt that there was someone in the water. But the moment when she was about to leave, a hand suddenly caught her foot under the hot spring.

Hua Qiyue was startled. She heard the splash when the man surfaced. He clasped his hands around her waist and held her tightly in his arms.

As they clung to each other, waves of heat were transmitted. Hua Qiyue’s delicate body quivered, and she shouted, “Yun Shimo! Go away!”

The man neither made a sound nor let her go. He just held her tightly, as if to embed her deeply in his body.

Hua Qiyue gathered Qi at her elbow and banged back hard. The man let go of her and stepped back against the edge of the pool.

Hua Qiyue turned around. As expected, it was Yun Shimo.

She was so shocked and furious that she had not expected this fellow to be so shameless. He must have collaborated with Tianci to make this scene happen!

The psychological rejection, coupled with the memory that he was the culprit who had robbed her of her virginity, made her even more furious. She waved her hand and gave Yun Shimo two slaps in the face.

Yun Shimo stood there, transfixed. He was soaking wet and steaming, and drops of water trickled down his handsome face.

The five red fingerprints on his face were shocking.

Just now, Hua Qiyue had hit him as hard as she could. Nevertheless, Yun Shimo did not dodge. Now his face was red and swollen, and blood was oozing from the corners of his lips.

“F*ck off!”

Hua Qiyue panted, her face flushed with rage, her eyes full of hatred. She hated not only Yun Shimo’s incivility but also the fact that her heart had just been beating so fast.

She was so shameless that she still clung to this man.

Yun Shimo sighed gently and lifted his deep, inky eyes. “Qiyue, forget the past. Now punish me as you please. I will always wait for the day when you forgive me.”

With that, Yun Shimo went out. Hua Qiyue leaned against the edge of the pool, glaring at the firm figure, her delicate body trembling.

When Yun Shimo walked out, she closed her eyes feebly.

Hua Qiyue’s hands, clenched in fists, slowly loosened in the heat that was curling upward.

“Alas, women are always narrow-minded. Qiyue, since he had no subjective consciousness at that time, everything was none of his business. You can’t blame Madame Yun too much. After all, everything was forced. I, as an outsider, can no longer bear to watch you guys suffer. You might as well make it up!” Tianpi’s voice sounded suddenly behind Hua Qiyue. She looked back and saw a diabolically handsome face outside the lattice window.

Tianpi stood outside the wall with compassion in his eyes.
