Phi-Fic Chapter 424 My Kind and Warm Grandmother
Chapter 424 My Kind and Warm Grandmother
"Remember, he failed once, so you must not repeat the same mistake!" Hong Anguo admonished him sternly.
Li Muyang stood up and bowed again, but this time, compared to his previous formal manner, he was more respectful: "I will follow Master Hong's instructions and keep them in mind."
Hong Anguo smiled and stroked his beard. "Hmm! That feels good! I feel so much more refreshed!"
Damn it! Why wasn't this kid this likable in his past life? He's such a quiet, unassuming guy! Could it be that I and his parents raised him poorly?
Even if it's reincarnation, the change in personality is too drastic, isn't it?
Is it possible that Li Muyang's past life wasn't actually a quiet, reserved person, but rather a repressed one? It's just that he was more reserved when facing his elders, and because he was obsessed with cultivation in his past life, he didn't have many friends among his peers.
Therefore, Hong Anguo was left with the stereotype that Li Muyang in his previous life was a quiet and reserved person.
Throughout his life, Li Muyang's parents were not very reliable and liked to joke around occasionally. Adhering to the principle that at least one of the parents and the child should be sensible, Li Muyang was forced to go from being a repressed person to... an open person.
Pshaw! He's a sunny, cheerful young man—can't he even speak properly?!
Li Muyang felt a pang of emotion. He never expected that this world was the same world he had lived in in his previous life! And it had even been restarted once! But his grandfather from his previous life still remembered him, which was why he wanted to see him in this reincarnation.
However, how did Hong Anguo know about his existence?
Hong Anguo smiled slightly and took out an ID card that Li Muyang recognized very well. Clearly, he was also a member of the Bureau! Moreover, according to his account, he was registered under the name of Eternity and was responsible for monitoring the stability of this world!
Furthermore, in this life, he also has a teacher, namely Feng Xuanxing, who was mentioned earlier, and in this world, he is known as the tenth son of eternity, "Destiny".
All the information about Li Muyang came from fate.
Incidentally, "Destiny" is called Di Jun in this world, and his full name should be: Destiny Di Jun.
Di Jun in his destiny form.
Having explained why he wanted to see Li Muyang, Hong Anguo didn't do anything overly intimate. Just as he had said before, he simply wanted to see Li Muyang and had no other intentions, nor would he want to interfere with Li Muyang's current life.
The Li Muyang of today is ultimately just a similar flower, not their own grandson. After all, Hong Anguo and Brigitte Lin didn't have a daughter in this lifetime.
"I still don't quite understand. In the last reincarnation, where exactly was your daughter?" Zhang Xuanlin asked while eating skewers. After all, Hong Anguo's fate and karma would likely make it difficult for him to live peacefully before he could repay them, including having children.
Zhang Xuanlin guessed that in this reincarnation, a high-level deity had intervened to help Hong Anguo alleviate the karmic burden he carried. Otherwise, how could he have had such an easy life in this one? Perhaps... he could even have reached the pinnacle of immortality with this body.
Hong Anguo ate his skewers with a melancholy expression: "What's so strange about that? It's indeed difficult under normal circumstances, but what if my daughter herself has amazing luck?"
Zhang Xuanlin slapped his forehead: "Okay, I understand."
Li Muyang and Hong Xiudie looked on with curiosity. What did that mean?
"It means it's a secondary account, right?" Zhang Xuanlin complained with a similarly melancholy expression. "The reason why Taigong's reincarnations are so precarious and full of hardships in each life is because the karma of bestowing titles upon the gods when he was a mortal was too great! He couldn't bear this honor and title! Even after his reincarnation, his descendants will still bear this karma, so they will die because they can't handle it."
"Got it, it means as long as you can withstand it?" Li Muyang understood what Zhang Xuanlin meant. So, his parents from his previous life were probably also high-ranking and powerful innate deities in this world.
"Then who is it?" Hong Xiudie asked eagerly.
Upon hearing this question, Li Muyang, Hong Anguo, and Zhang Xuanlin all turned around and gave the girl a mysterious smile. Their meaningful expressions left Hong Xiudie completely bewildered. What's wrong?
However, none of the three offered any explanation, and they turned back to eating their own food. Only Brigitte Lin, the grandmother, picked up a skewer of lamb and stuffed it into Hung Hsiu-die's mouth: "Just eat your food! Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask! (Waaah~)"
"Since our family has no karmic connection with those individuals in this life, why bother mentioning it further?"
Hong Xiudie was obedient. Since she couldn't say anything, there must be a reason. She obediently ate her skewers.
To be able to withstand the karma of the Investiture of the Gods and forcibly reincarnate as a descendant of Hong Anguo, one must be a top-tier innate deity, perhaps even above the level of Fuxi, and possibly a female deity reincarnated! Therefore, Li Muyang and the other two tacitly refrained from mentioning it, otherwise it might easily attract attention.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's just... the respect that's due.
Just like an ordinary person, if they mutter a few words about gods and Buddhas, they'll most likely be fine. Not many people are petty, so they won't come looking for trouble just because you muttered a few words.
Unless they're just bored and looking for fun.
However, someone like Li Muyang, who is in the know, shouldn't casually mention other people's sacred names under normal circumstances, because everyone knows each other's identities, and if you mention them carelessly, they will sense it.
If this causes any misunderstanding, it will be difficult to explain. It's just a matter of being cautious.
Don't forget what the three of them are talking about now, which is essentially Hong Anguo becoming the father of some deity! So the three of them are very careful when they talk, and they don't mention who the person in question is.
While enjoying barbecue and chatting with Grandpa Hong, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Once Lin Qingxia realized that Li Muyang was not Hong Anguo's illegitimate son, her last bit of resentment disappeared, and she found him very pleasing to the eye.
After all, he's the grandson of the previous reincarnation, and he's probably quite old now; he's pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at him.
They've all started asking about Li Muyang's marriage prospects.
For a moment, Li Muyang felt a sense of urgency, as if his elders were pressuring him to get married. He quickly waved his hand, indicating that he already had someone he liked! And they were very close! There was no need for them to worry about him!
For some reason, Brigitte Lin looked disappointed, but then inexplicably became happy again.
Li Muyang really couldn't tell them apart!
As for Hong Xiudie... she's still enjoying her skewers.
So Brigitte Lin expressed her desire to meet her granddaughter-in-law... oops! No, to meet Li Muyang's confidante and help Old Li vet her!
Li Muyang reluctantly agreed, sending messages to Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er while secretly using his mental powers to ask Hong Xiudie, "What's wrong with your grandma?"
Hong Xiudie casually ate her skewers, her mind racing. Knowing that Li Muyang could sense her thoughts, she explained, "It's nothing... It's just that my two cousins are still single. Although they each have plenty of girls around them, they're both the kind of people who... well, not interested in romance. They prefer to be with their brothers."
"...By the way, they both live in Sichuan now..."
"...And what about you?" Li Muyang blinked, and suddenly seemed to understand Brigitte Lin. No wonder this grandmother was so anxious! It was truly a case of the younger generation being inadequate!
Hong Xiudie gave a wicked smile: "Hehe, I'm different from them! I just like women!"
Li Muyang had just breathed a sigh of relief when he immediately sensed something was wrong. What the hell?! Say that again?!
I bought a cup! Looks like I'll have to tell Erii and Ai to stay away from this female hooligan from now on!
Seeing the wolf-like look in Old Li's eyes, Hong Xiudie smiled wickedly and licked her lips: "Cousin~"
"Get lost! Who's your cousin! Acting cute is shameful! I'm not buying it!" Li Muyang couldn't help but raise his middle finger. He regretted calling Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er over.
Don't misunderstand, Li Muyang doesn't distrust Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er; he trusts them too much! He has too much faith in their personal charm! He's sure these two women will seduce him!
I never expected my female confidante to be so charming. I not only have to be wary of women, but also of men!
Tired of heart!
Proud again!
Just then, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er were ready, and Li Muyang obediently opened the time-space portal and brought the two women over so that Lin Qingxia could have a good look at them.
There was nothing she could do; her own juniors weren't up to par! Brigitte Lin was also feeling quite exhausted. When she saw Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er, she held their hands for a long time and wouldn't let go. Her enthusiastic attitude left the two women looking bewildered and at a loss. What was going on?
Well, Li Muyang didn't explain clearly just now. He only said that he met a few seniors and brought the two of them over to get acquainted with them.
Therefore, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er were unaware of Li Muyang's relationship with the Hong family, so they explained it again.
The two women blushed on the spot! Why didn't you say so earlier! Weren't we meeting a senior? How did it suddenly turn into meeting an elder?! Completely unexpected!
Fortunately, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er were both seasoned veterans! Although they were caught off guard and tricked, they still managed to keep smiling... until Hong Xiudie asked, "What about that girl from the Japanese Uesugi family? Didn't you two wear matching outfits to the banquet?"
In that instant, Li Muyang felt as if he had vaguely seen the phantom of the Lady of Death. When he came to his senses, he realized that it was Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er with their eyes glowing red.
Goosebumps rose on Li Muyang's skin, and his strong survival instinct kicked in. He hurriedly explained, "Yuxiu, Ling'er, didn't you meet me when I was unconscious? Erii."
Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er were taken aback. Huh?
Oh! Right! We've met!
etc! wrong!
"Hmph! You almost tricked me!" Feng Ling'er snorted coldly, while Bai Yuxiu stared at her with a resentful look.
It's obvious that Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er aren't as easily fooled as before. They have indeed met Erii, but they only knew about the ambiguous relationship between Erii and Li Muyang during the period when Li Muyang was unconscious and resting after returning from the River of Time.
Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er were initially a little jealous because they were concerned about Li Muyang's condition, but they forgot about it when they saw Li Muyang unconscious.
