Chapter 214: Do You Need My Help?
The Young Matriarch
â`
How embarrassing.
If this got out, would she, who had lived for over thirty years, still have any face left?
Duan Xiuqi was still the Film Emperor most chased after by the paparazzi in the entertainment industry, and as his fiancée, if she were to stir up such a scandal again, she would utterly lose face.
Xue Qiu was sitting on the balcony sunbathing, its two paws clutching sunflower seeds, nibbling away, surrounded by a circle of various little birds.
Xue Qiu squeaked indignantly, âThey donât respect the ancestral Shuiyun Silk Net anymore, even Immortals canât escape from it.â
Scissors? Even burning with fire would be useless.
Just let it hang there.
Bai Yinyin and Tong Qingyan had been bustling about below for half a day, trying with scissors, fruit knives, even kitchen knives, yet the net, which looked as thin as silk, was indestructibly uncuttable, bizarrely so.@@novelbin@@
Bai Yinyin knew Bai Chuwei, this country bumpkin, was weird and poisonous. Seeing Tong Yunrou hanging up there, drenched in sweat and about to faint, she became even more frightened.
Bai Yinyin somewhat wanted to flee. Her gaze suddenly fell on Bai Chuweiâs desk; the homework already completed was neatly arranged, with six little paper figures sitting in front of the notebooks, each with a face drawn on with red pen sporting an incredibly arrogant expression, as if mocking them.
And there were six pens on the desk as well.
Bai Yinyinâs mind suddenly went blank, a buzzing sound filling her earsâ¦
Homework, little paper figures.
In a daze, Bai Yinyin felt like she had seen this scene before somewhere, but she couldnât remember where.
Tong Qingyan couldnât help saying, âAuntie, shall I call the firefighters?â
Tong Yunrou, hanging there drenched in sweat, for some reason started to have difficulty breathing. She bit her teeth and said, âNo, thatâs⦠thatâs too embarrassing.â
How mortifying.
If this got out, it would be adding insult to injury for the Tong Family.
A languid voice filled with laughter came from behind them, âDo you need my help, then?â
All three of them were startled and immediately looked towards the source of the sound.
The girl was dressed in a white linen dress, with a beautiful and exquisite appearance. She leaned against the door with her arms crossed over her chest, her smile brimming with interest, as she looked at Tong Yunrou with an appreciative gaze.
Ah⦠This Shuiyun Silk Net she had made hundreds of years ago with Shuiyun silver thread could be considered a mid-to-low grade Spiritual Artifact; at the time, she didnât have any special intentions, just suddenly a strong craving for seafood.
So she made this net to catch fish in the sea, and the next day, she managed to scoop up all sorts of fish with it.
She never expected that it would still be useful after hundreds of years.
But this time it didnât catch fish, it caught a person.
Tong Qingyan saw Bai Chuweiâs face looking on with amusement and hurriedly stepped forward, âClassmate Bai Chuwei, please let my aunt down. You⦠youâ¦â
Tong Qingyan was so upset she felt sick, âHow could you set up such a dangerous device? Donât you know this could kill someone?â
Bai Chuwei snorted softly, âWhat a case of the thief crying âstop thief!â Sneaking into my room trying to steal? In another country, I could have shot you all dead.â
Tong Qingyan clasped her hands tightly, arguing, âThis isnât another country, and Bai, itâs really dangerous what youâre doing, Iâm just looking out for your goodâ¦â
âYouâre too noisy,â Bai Chuwei raised an eyebrow and retorted, âDo you want me to shut you up?â
Tong Qingyan, knowing she was in the wrong, immediately closed her mouth.
On the side, Bai Yinyinâs expression changed unpredictably. Why did she feel this statement was so familiar? As if she had heard Bai Chuwei say something similar to her before?
Bai Chuwei snapped her fingers, and Tong Yunrou let out a scream, falling to the ground along with the net in an instant.
