Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: No Sleeping with the Bear
Lu Wang proactively held the bowl with his two little bear paws and drank it all up with a gurgle.
Qingmei smiled, squinting her eyes, "Look, I told you he likes it!"
"But this little bear seems different from other bear cubs. Shouldn’t we send it to the Lion and Tiger Garden for the Palace Attendant to train it?"
Lu Wang paused his action of swallowing the milk custard.
In his round, black eyes, a pitiful look appeared.
Bai Zhi’er hurriedly patted the bear’s head.
"No need, just keep him by my side. See, he’s so well-behaved, right, Brother Ce?"
Feng Fuce looked at Lu Wang and said, "This bear is clever and won’t disappoint me."
However, considering that Lu Wang was now in a soft and cute form, Feng Fuce was worried Zhi’er would like him more.
Having a pet around, wouldn’t they want to sleep cuddling it?
So, in the end, Feng Fuce took the bear back to the Xiuluo Guard, saying Chu Ping would bring it over during the day each time.
Bai Zhi’er saw Lu Wang sigh in relief, as if staying away from Qingmei was safe, so she didn’t insist on keeping him there.
That night.
Bai Zhi’er, dreaming, directly pinched a spell and sent her Divine Sense to where Yuan Ruxin and the others were.
After all, she hadn’t said goodbye to her senior brothers yet.
As the mist cleared, when Bai Zhi’er came to her senses, she was standing outside a thatched cottage.
All around were quiet mountains and wilds, while the thatched hut in the fenced yard glowed with warm yellow light.
Inside came Xixi’s cheerful laughter—
"Brother, sister, does the porridge taste good? My mom taught me this; if there’s no meat at home, just cook the porridge and potatoes until they’re nice and soft!"
Yuan Zhen’s gentle voice said, "Xixi is amazing, the porridge does taste much better."
"Uncle, Xixi already had an egg this morning, and I’m full now. Your leg hurts, so this is for you." Xixi placed a boiled egg in front of the Regent King.
Now he should no longer be called Regent King.
But an ordinary old man with the surname Yuan.
The Old Master Yuan looked at the egg, and in his aged eyes, tears seemed to glimmer.
Back then, he was as wealthy as a nation and possessed great power.
Because of greed, he ended up like he is today.
Even a three-year-old child had to give him food; it was truly... a disgrace to his ancestors!
Yuan Zhen saw his father unmoving, merely sighed silently.
He naturally knew what the Old Master Yuan was thinking.
"Father, don’t worry, we have settled here, and now it’s time to live a good life."
"Today, I discussed with my sister, and I’ll go teach with the Master in town during the day, and they agreed I can bring Xixi along."
"Xixi is still young and should start learning; she can’t grow up illiterate."
Yuan Ruxin nodded as well, "There’s a young lady in town who wants to learn to play the piano. I can try teaching her, to earn some household money."
Yuan Zhen added, "Dad, the weather has been unpredictable lately, and your leg pain varies. Just stay at home and rest well."
The Old Master Yuan sighed gently, "I gave you trouble."
Xixi immediately consoled him with her innocent and lovely voice, "Uncle, not at all, it’s not a bother. Being together with family, Xixi feels so happy! Happier than any day before!"
Her smile infected the family around her.
Just as they were enjoying this blissful moment, Bai Zhi’er finally decided to knock on the door.
She had been listening for a while.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
"Who could it be this late?"
Yuan Zhen got up to answer the door.
When the door opened, and he saw Bai Zhi’er’s figure, Yuan Zhen was very pleasantly surprised, "Junior Sister!"
