After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 249 Sugar Painting

It was a fine and sunny day. After Jiang Liqian finished her training and opened the door, she saw the host's two children peeking into her room.

As soon as she opened the door, the two little balls rolled to her feet like snowballs.

Jiang Liqian raised her eyebrows, leaned closer, and glared at them in feigned anger: "What are you doing outside my door? Are you trying to do something bad?"

The two little girls waved their hands hurriedly. The younger sister was so scared that her eyes immediately turned red.

Seeing this, her heart softened and she couldn't bear to be cruel anymore. She quickly hugged the little girl in her arms and took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into her mouth like a magic trick.

She saw her brother looking at her out of the corner of her eye, so she took another one and gave it to him.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, my husband said that we can go out and play today. Sister Jiang Jiang, will you accompany us to go out and play?" The younger sister nestled in her arms, grabbing her sleeves and acting coquettishly, while holding a candy in her mouth and begging incoherently.

Her brother also shook her sleeves, looking at her with his big eyes without blinking, full of begging little stars.

Jiang Liqian looked at the two little balls, her heart softened, but in the end she couldn't resist them and nodded in agreement.

She held her sister in one hand and held her brother's hand in the other, and went to the middle hall to greet the host of the house.

A family of four lived in this small courtyard. Apart from the two little kids, there were only their parents. The family was simple and the decoration of the courtyard was very plain and elegant. Jiang Liqian looked around and found that they were all simple neighbors and there was no danger.

She originally planned to stay in an inn, but when she entered the city, she saw the uniforms of the disciples of the Qiankun Sect. Not wanting to run into them, she found a B&B to stay in.

The owner was very welcoming and initially reluctant to accept her spirit stones, but only after her repeated insistence did they agree to accept them. During the few days she had been staying there, the owner had either given her all sorts of delicious food or asked if she wanted to buy any new furniture or if there was anything about the place she was not used to.

This made her, who had always been aloof from others, suddenly not know how to get along with others.

Fortunately, the two little kids in the host family are very lovable. These days, they come to play with her from time to time, which relaxes her tense nerves a lot.

After saying something to the two little kids' parents, Jiang Liqian took them out.

Although the entire Shuiwan City is built on the water, this does not affect the tourists coming and going among the various vendors. The shouts one after another extend from the end of the sky to everyone's feet.

The two little balls were very excited. They looked left and right, put their two little heads together, and whispered to each other, as if they were watching and commenting.

Not long after they walked, they suddenly saw the sugar paintings in the vendor's hands, and their eyes immediately lit up. After obtaining Jiang Liqian's consent, they immediately took advantage of their body shape and squeezed to the innermost part like a fish in water.

Jiang Liqian followed behind them, her eyes fixed on them.

After a while, the two little balls squeezed back from the crowd, each holding a sugar painting.

Jiang Liqian was afraid that they would get hurt, so she quickly squatted down and pulled them over, looking them over from front to back.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, this is for you." A beautiful phoenix sugar painting was suddenly raised to her lips. A hint of sweetness flowed from the tip of her tongue into her throat, with a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

Jiang Liqian didn't expect that these two little dumplings would think of buying her a sugar painting. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

Apart from her master and senior sisters and brothers in this life, she rarely, if ever, received gifts from others.

This was the first time she had received such a clean sugar painting without any other purpose.

"Sister Jiang Jiang, why are you crying?" The younger sister stretched out her little hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking very serious.

Her brother also pulled her sleeve and handed her his share of the sugar painting: "Sister Jiang Jiang, this is for you. It's sweet, so don't cry."

A lot of bitterness suddenly surged in her heart, she lowered her head and hugged them tightly.

"Thanks……"

Really, thank you very much.

[Ding! The young master's inner demon backlash value has decreased by 1%, and the current backlash value is 47%.]

After a day of fun with the two little kids, Jiang Liqian bought them a bunch of things, took them to a restaurant for dinner, a pastry shop for cakes, and also took them to the most famous Full Moon Well in Shuiwan City to join in the fun.

When the sun was setting, the two little kids were tired from playing, and their heads were nodding. Jiang Liqian simply held one in her arms and carried the other on her back, and walked along the cobblestone road to their home.

The streets on both sides of the long river were gradually deserted, and vendors of all sizes began to pack up and leave. The sun was setting, the smoke was cold, and the shadows of the water were far away.

Shuiwan City has imposed a curfew. After the hour of midnight, no one is allowed to walk on the streets unless there are special circumstances.

There are very few towns in the world of cultivation that impose curfews. Shuiwan City has a legend about the full moon, so the city lord probably issued such an order out of consideration for the safety of the people in the city.

After sending the two sleeping babies to Aunt Chen's room, Jiang Liqian returned to her room amidst her sincere gratitude.

She had wanted to take advantage of the night when no one was around and close her eyes to meditate, but after only half a cup of tea, she heard a noise that was neither too loud nor too quiet coming from the South Courtyard.

She was not the type to meddle in other people's business, so she ignored it. However, the noise became louder and louder, and finally even the faint wailing could be heard in the room she was in.

Jiang Liqian heard the voices of Aunt Chen and Uncle Zhang inside, and suddenly felt something was wrong. She could no longer meditate, so she stood up, opened the door, and went to the South Courtyard.

As soon as I walked in, I saw many neighbors gathered in the yard. Lights were on everywhere. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Chen were surrounded in the middle, crying and shouting something with sad expressions.

Jiang Liqian walked over quickly and asked about the situation.

"It's the Great Moon Immortal, it kidnapped Aunt Chen's two children!

"The city lord had already sent people to patrol day and night and recruited many monks to deal with Yue Daxian. It's been a long time since a child in the city was abducted. Who would have thought that tonight...

"That damned Immortal Yue, not only is it not enough to offer spirit stones every month, he also wants to capture our child and torture him. Sooner or later, he will die a miserable death!"

Someone nudged the cursing man's shoulder, his tone fearful and nervous, "Shh! Keep your voice down! You're cursing to your heart's content, but don't forget, your baby is still asleep in the room. Be careful, or you'll be the next target of the Great Moon Immortal!"

The man who was cursing reacted and his face turned pale, and he almost fell down.

When Jiang Liqian heard that the two little kids were taken away, her heart tightened. She chased after those people and asked, "Who is Yue Daxian?"
