Chapter 23: Third-Party Perspective

"Grandmother, they ate it."

Inside the horse carriage, hearing Cheng Qiuyun's words, Cheng Old Madam smiled and also picked up a piece of watermelon and began to eat.

After taking one bite, she was slightly taken aback.

This melon is even sweeter than the tribute fruit they had ever eaten!

"So sweet, and nice and cool, so refreshing!"

After finishing a piece, Cheng Qiuluo wiped the corner of her mouth, her gaze falling on the little fellow who was holding a palm-sized piece of melon and carefully nibbling it in tiny bites, her eyes filled with envy.

"Yu'an, teach your little aunt too — how does one meet an immortal?"

The moment she finished speaking, her arm was patted by someone.

"Who dares hit me?"

Cheng Qiuyun withdrew her hand.

"What are you thinking? You think it's like cabbages — anyone could run into one?"

Cheng Qiuluo's reverence for her elder sister had been cultivated since childhood, so she immediately backed off.

She rubbed the spot that had just been hit, muttering softly under her breath.

"I'm just curious, that's all."

Yu'an scrunched up his little face, thought quite seriously for a while, then looked at her with an earnest expression.

"First run into a wild boar, fall down while running away, and the Fairy Sister will appear in your head!"

Cheng Qiuyun: "Huh???"

A wild boar was easy enough, but running away and falling down?

For her, that was still quite difficult.

And hearing his words, Cheng Qiuluo wrung her hands and sighed, her gaze resentful, as though she had missed out on the whole world.

She had clearly run into the wild boar together with Yu'an, but had fallen just a little short.

"Pfft! Hahaha... Zaituan is just too cute!"

The moment she tuned in she heard Zaituan's words; An Luo held it in and held it in, but in the end couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Hearing this voice, Yu'an's little ears twitched, and he shyly lowered his head, his face blushing red.

【Why does Fairy Sister laugh? Did Yu'an say something wrong?】

He remembered very clearly — the situation that day was exactly like that.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the little fellow nervously clenched his small fists and hurriedly asked in his heart.

【If someone else also ran into a wild boar and fell down, would Fairy Sister also become someone else's Fairy Sister?】

The little fellow was anxious, and his words were incoherent, but An Luo understood, and immediately comforted him softly.

"No."

"No matter whether that person runs into a wild boar, a tiger, or a blind bear, no matter whether they fall down or faint, Elder Sister will only raise one Zaituan — Yu'an."

Hearing these words, the little fellow's unease melted away, and he immediately beamed with joy, nodding his head vigorously.

【In the future, I will also properly enshrine and worship Fairy Sister!】

An Luo: "..."

Although, well, the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed?

Because the Bian Li Dian had hired two new employees two days ago, she no longer had to go move bricks every day, and would have more time to look after Zaituan!

Taking advantage of Zaituan's rest, An Luo first opened the Level 2 Gift Pack.

Hum!

Congratulations to the player on obtaining Space Fragment x1, Feeding Times x5, Hundred Detoxification Pill x6.

Hum!

Congratulations to the player on obtaining a special item: Random Third-Party Perspective x2 (can randomly switch the view to any character's perspective other than Zaituan's, three minutes each time).

There were even Feeding Times!

An Luo gave a mental cheer.

Zaituan couldn't come to the Modern Era for three months, and she had been worrying about how to send things to Zaituan — it was truly like a pillow arriving just as one dozes off!

Continuing to look down, An Luo felt a little strange.

"Third-Party Perspective?"

What does that mean?

Let's try it!

After using it, she saw the scene automatically slide down, and the person inside had changed!

It became a few masked men wearing short work clothes — a rough count came to about twenty-something people.

Who were they?

An Luo was puzzling over it when someone spoke.

"Boss, before us, the Cheng Family has already suffered two consecutive assassination attempts — do we still need to set an ambush?"

"Right, that group of Jiedai were all worthless trash, only knowing some paltry martial arts — the Cheng Family people are probably already dead."

An Luo: "!!!"

There's actually another wave of killers!

In the scene, another person spoke — he seemed to be the boss they were referring to.

"As long as we haven't received the order from our master to withdraw, we carry out the plan as originally arranged!"

"No need for further discussion — according to the previous deployment, go to the foot of Qiling Mountain and take up your ambush positions!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the group dispersed.

An Luo hurriedly noted down the approximate positions of the ambush.

Three minutes passed quickly, and the view returned to Yu'an's perspective.

Just then, Wu Meng walked over to the horse carriage, his face wearing a respectful and humble expression.

"Cheng Old Madam, another twenty li ahead is Qiling Mountain. Once we cross the mountain and travel a few dozen li more, we'll reach Beihuang City."

An Luo was greatly shocked.

"Qiling Mountain?!"

It's actually this close!

She was so startled that she couldn't keep her voice down, which gave Xiao Yu'an a fright. The little one rubbed his ears.

【Fairy Sister, what's wrong with Qiling Mountain?】

"Yu'an, quickly tell Cheng Old Madam that there are over twenty killers lying in ambush on the mountain road of Qiling Mountain!"

Hearing these words, Yu'an's little face went pale, and he looked at Cheng Old Madam beside him in a panic.

The little one was so anxious that his voice carried a sobbing tone.

"Great-Great-Grandmother, Yu'an wants to whisper something to you."

Seeing him looking like he was about to cry from anxiety, Cheng Old Madam's heart sank.

She turned her head and glanced at Wu Meng.

Wu Meng tactfully nodded and walked away.

"What does Yu'an want to say?"

Yu'an quickly leaned close to her ear.

"Fairy Sister says there are killers at the foot of Qiling Mountain, over twenty of them."

After saying this, the little one's small mouth puckered, and he could no longer hold back the large drops of tears welling up, which slid down from his eyes.

"Wuwuwu... Great-Great-Grandmother, can we not go that way?"

He truly didn't want his mother and aunts to get hurt again.

Cheng Old Madam took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears dry, her face full of heartache.

"Don't cry anymore. Yu'an, you must remember: men of the Cheng Family shed blood and sweat, but never tears!"

Hearing this, the little one's sobbing paused. He pulled back from her embrace, sniffled, pressed his lips tightly together, and blinked his big tearful eyes hard several times, trying to disperse the moisture in them.

He nodded heavily.

"Yes, Great-Great-Grandmother, Yu'an has remembered!"

Cheng Old Madam nodded with satisfaction, reached out to ruffle his little head, and secretly pondered in her heart.

Having received the information in advance, the initiative this time was now in their hands.

They needed to plan carefully.

She got off the horse carriage, turned her head, and called all the Cheng Family members over.

Meanwhile, Yu'an stayed in the horse carriage, watching them longingly.

【Fairy Sister, the Emperor is really a big villain! If only I could be as powerful as Nezha.】

An Luo reached out and patted his head.

"Don't be afraid, Elder Sister will protect Yu'an."

Just then, the doorbell rang—her self-defense weapons she had bought online had arrived!

"Yu'an, wait a moment, Elder Sister has something to attend to."

After giving a hasty instruction, An Luo logged out.

The moment the door was opened, she clearly sensed the delivery guy step back, keeping at least two meters away from her.

"G-good day, here's your delivery, p-please sign for it."

An Luo, finding it very strange, confirmed receipt of the package and watched the delivery guy's back as he fled like a streak of smoke.

"What's going on?"

It wasn't until she dragged the two large boxes into the Ke Ting and opened them, seeing the bows and chainsaws inside, that she suddenly slapped her forehead.

"Oh my!"

"Could it be that the delivery guy's reaction just now was because he took me for some kind of dangerous person?"

"Forget it, whatever he thinks, first—"
