After sitting for a while, Lu Lanxi picked up her backpack and walked outside.
"She’s really gone."
"I told you she would definitely leave, Zhang Lan, are you feeling better now?" Yang Liqing asked Zhang Lan with a smile.
"She deserves it!" Zhang Lan laughed gleefully. At least her suffering wasn’t in vain.
Hua Murong frowned, looking at the departing figure of Lu Lanxi. She initially planned to get closer to Lu Lanxi through this, but unexpectedly, Lu Lanxi perford this act to avoid her, disrupting her plans completely.
Lu Lanxi arrived outside Mo Shaoze’s house and gently knocked on the door. It wasn’t long before soone opened it.
"Aunt!" Lu Lanxi greeted Shen Anning with a smile as she opened the door.
"Xixi, co in and sit down." Shen Anning smiled and took Lu Lanxi’s hand, leading her inside. She had resolved her tasks and returned after receiving Mo Shaoze’s call.
Once inside with Shen Anning, the two sat down together. Lu Lanxi took out a few bottles of elixir from her backpack and placed them on the table, saying, "Aunt, my mom asked to bring these to you." Although these elixirs couldn’t aid in cultivation, they could keep one youthful and healthy.
"Thank your mom for ." Shen Anning replied with a smile. Over the years, she remained youthful and never fell ill, all thanks to these elixirs. Although her family was renowned in dicine, they could never produce such miraculous elixirs.
Lu Lanxi nodded with a smile, "Aunt, did sothing burn?"
"Oh no, my fish is burnt." Shen Anning hurriedly ran towards the kitchen, calling back to Lu Lanxi, "Xixi, the remote is on the table, if you want to drink sothing, help yourself from the fridge."
"Alright." Lu Lanxi took out a book from her backpack and began reading. She had nothing to occupy her ti for the past few days; it was a good opportunity to visit the Immortal Realm and tell her parents about Hua Murong. She wondered if they had returned to the Phoenix Clan by now?
"Xixi, I’m going to buy another fish, the one from earlier is completely charred." Shen Anning said, erging from the kitchen. She had forgotten to turn off the little fire when she went to open the door, scorching the entire fish.
"Aunt, don’t bother, let’s eat whatever is available." Lu Lanxi said. Unlike her brother, she wasn’t particular about food.
"That’s not proper; you stay at ho, I’ll go out and buy it. The market isn’t far; I’ll be quick." Shen Anning said, heading outside.
"I’ll go with you." Lu Lanxi caught up and took Shen Anning’s arm. There were fish within her space, but she couldn’t just take one out in her bare hand.
"Girls are so considerate, unlike my stinky boy, who spends his vacations at ho gaming and doesn’t have ti for , let alone accompanying to buy groceries. I wish I had a daughter." Shen Anning shook her head regretfully. Alas, she could only have one child, setting an example as a Guard mber.
"When your brother gets married, Aunt, it would be like you have a daughter!" Lu Lanxi said playfully with a smile.
"Who knows when that will be? My stinky boy is preoccupied with computer gas." Thinking about her son’s obsession with computer gas, Shen Anning felt a headache.
Lu Lanxi chuckled, "Your brother is only sixteen; he’s still young. Wait till he grows up; you might get headaches from having too many girls like him and not knowing how to choose." Mo Yikai’s looks inherited the best qualities of his parents, making him attractive to girls, even if he doesn’t actively pursue them.
Amidst their chat and laughter, they arrived at the market.
It’s likely the afternoon, coupled with the heat, so there weren’t many people at the market.
"Doctor Shen, are you buying fish?" The vendor greeted Shen Anning with a smile. Shen Anning often bought groceries here, so the sellers were familiar with her.
"Yes, the previous one got burnt, so I have to co again. Old Zhang, pick a carp with roe for ." Shen Anning smiled. Earlier, she asked Xixi, who said she liked carp soup.
"Alright!" The vendor responded, lifting a net to catch a fish from the tank.
"How about this fish? Its belly is full, surely has plenty of roe." The vendor handed the caught carp to Shen Anning.
"I’ll take this one." Shen Anning nodded in satisfaction.
The vendor placed the fish in a black plastic bag, weighed it, "One pound six ounces, precisely fifteen yuan. Let prepare the fish for you."
Shen Anning nodded, turning to Lu Lanxi, "Xixi, see if there’s anything you want to eat."
"No need, Aunt, fish will be enough." Lu Lanxi smiled, shaking her head.
"Alright then." Shen Anning didn’t insist, paid, collected the prepared fish, and left the market with Lu Lanxi.
Just after leaving the market, Lu Lanxi suddenly felt a murderous intent. She bent over, clutching her stomach in pain, "Aunt, my stomach hurts, do you know if there’s a restroom nearby?"
"It’s right over there." Shen Anning pointed to the restroom ahead.
"Aunt, you go on ahead, I’ll return after using the restroom." Lu Lanxi said, already heading to the restroom.
"I’ll wait here for you." Shen Anning called out to Lu Lanxi’s retreating figure.
"No need, I’ll be fine." Lu Lanxi turned, waved at Shen Anning with a smile, and entered the restroom. The murderous intent was directed at her; she absolutely couldn’t let her aunt be hard.
Entering the restroom, Lu Lanxi saw there was no one around, and with a flash, she disappeared from her original spot. If her guess was correct, the murderous intent likely ca from Hua Murong, who was caught off guard by her sudden departure.
