Chapter 113: Lotus Nest

"Fifth Sister!"

Seeing Hua Changxi enter the room, Hua Hua Wuniang raised her hand with difficulty.

Hua Changxi stepped forward quickly and held her hand: "Fifth Sister, I am here."

Hua Hua Wuniang's eyes were filled with tears: "Hua Jiuniang, I thought I was dead this time and would never wake up again. Before I fainted, I seemed to see the Huang Quan road. It was you, it was you who pulled me back from the Huang Quan road."

Hua Changxi looked at her: "Fifth Sister, everything is in the past. This labor hurt your body, you must take good care of yourself. Only by taking good care of your body can you take care of the child. Have you seen the child? He is so cute."

Speaking of the child, tears slid down the corners of Hua Hua Wuniang's eyes, and a smile pulled at the corners of her mouth: "I have seen him, Eldest Aunt and my mother held him for me to see. Hua Jiuniang, you give the child a name."

Hua Changxi widened her eyes and shook her head repeatedly: "Me? Take a name? No, I am a name-taking waste. If the little nephew grows up and thinks the name is not good, he will blame me, this aunt."

It was rare for Hua Hua Wuniang to see Hua Changxi show a flustered look, and she couldn't help but laugh. After laughing: "The child was delivered by you. If it weren't for you, either the child and I would have died, or the child would have been born without a mother. Hua Jiuniang, it was you who saved our mother and son. I hope the child's name is taken by you."

Hua Changxi had a headache. She really couldn't take names: "How about, I take a nickname?"

Seeing that she was really in a dilemma, Hua Hua Wuniang nodded: "Okay."

Hua Changxi scratched her head and thought: "Xiaoman, He Xiaoman, how about it?"

Hua Hua Wuniang: "He Xiaoman... the moon waxes and wanes, the water is full and overflows, Xiaoman is just right." Saying this, her eyes looked brightly at Hua Changxi. "The child will be called He Xiaoman."

Hua Changxi didn't know how this name was taken, but seeing that Hua Hua Wuniang was quite satisfied, she didn't say anything more. Anyway, it was just a nickname.

Seeing that Hua Hua Wuniang's mood was still stable, Hua Changxi hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Fifth Sister, do you still want to stay in the Marquis Prefecture? If you don't want to, I have a way to take you away."

Hua Hua Wuniang looked at Hua Changxi: "Hua Jiuniang, I believe you, but if I leave the Marquis Prefecture, what about the child? Third Master is over thirty, and has been looking forward to offspring. He won't let me take the child away."

"And, if I return home, in the eyes of outsiders, I am a divorced woman, which will affect the reputation of the family and is not conducive to the marriage of the brothers and sisters in the family."

Hua Qiniang Hua, who had been guarding the side, said quickly: "What reputation, we don't care."

Hua Hua Wuniang pulled out a forced and bitter smile: "You don't care, but Grandfather and Grandmother care. You know how much Grandfather cares about face, and other brothers and sisters may not necessarily not care."

Hua Changxi was silent for a moment and said: "Fifth Sister, the situation of our family is different from before."

"Many brothers and sisters are cultivators. The main task of cultivators is cultivation and experience. Marriage and so on have to be put behind. If you are not afraid of loneliness, it is okay to live alone."

"Reputation and so on, really not as important as before."

"And after stepping onto the path of cultivation, whether it is a woman or a man, there are more choices, not necessarily having to get married."

Hua Hua Wuniang did not agree: "Hua Jiuniang, cultivators and martial artists should be about the same, right? Except for a few martial artists who like to wander the world, most martial artists have to get married."

"Eldest Uncle's martial arts are high enough, but he didn't not marry a wife and have children because he wanted to practice martial arts. The female martial artists rumored in the streets also hope to have a home to shelter from the wind and rain."

Hua Changxi really couldn't refute this. It was not only a generation gap problem, but the most important thing was that she hadn't figured out some things herself.

After becoming a cultivator, physical fitness improved by a large margin, and longevity increased accordingly. In the long years, walking alone in the world, can one really endure the loneliness?

Understanding Hua Hua Wuniang's wishes, Hua Changxi respected her choice and didn't say anything more. She told her one by one the things the Marquis Lady promised the Hua family in the main hall.

After Hua Hua Wuniang heard it, her eyes turned red again: "Hua Jiuniang, thank you."

She knew very well in her heart that if Hua Jiuniang hadn't helped her fight for it, neither the Marquis Prefecture nor Third Master would care about her, a concubine, and the family would probably have turned big things into small things.

The confidence of having family support was actually always given to her by Hua Jiuniang.

Hua Changxi: "Fifth Sister, take good care of your body. I am a bit busy on weekdays and won't come to see you too many times. After I go back, I will send someone to help you adjust your body."

Hua Hua Wuniang accepted Hua Changxi's kindness with a smile and didn't ask much about Hua Changxi's affairs.

Afterward, Fourth Aunt Hua and Hua Qiniang Hua stayed in the Marquis Prefecture to take care of Hua Hua Wuniang and the newborn child, while the other Hua family members, the Hua Tai couple, and Hua Zhong left the Marquis Prefecture.

As soon as the Hua family left, Third Master He was called to the main courtyard of the Marquis Prefecture.

In the main courtyard, the Wu Yi Marquis and his wife, the He Heir and his wife, the Second Master and his wife, and a group of He family younger generation were all there.

As soon as Third Master He entered the main hall, he knelt down: "Father, Mother, it is I who did not handle the affairs of the backyard well, please punish me, Father and Mother."

He Sirong and He Siqi already knew about Hua Changxi making a big scene in the Marquis Prefecture. Seeing the Wu Yi Marquis and the Marquis Lady both with gloomy faces, they looked at each other and stood up to kneel behind Third Master He.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, it was us who told Hua Changxi about Concubine Hua."

Hearing this, Third Master He turned his head sharply to look at the two, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Seeing this, the Wu Yi Marquis picked up the teacup beside him and smashed it at Third Master He: "Incompetent thing, if it weren't for Sirong and Siqi, our family would have formed a deadly feud with the Hua family."

Saying this, he looked at He Sirong and He Siqi, letting them get up.

"Notifying Hua Changxi about Concubine Hua's matter, you did the right thing."

Third Master He was splashed with tea all over his body, kneeling on the ground with his head down, not saying a word.

The Wu Yi Marquis was angry when he looked at him: "Think of a way to repair the relationship with the Hua family yourself."

The Marquis Lady didn't want to manage the affairs of the concubine son. Today, she lowered her status to see the Hua family and was topped and satirized by the younger generation of the Hua family. She still felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart until now, but as the mistress of the house, some things had to be handled by her.

"Concubine Hua's difficult labor was caused by Third Young Master's wife. The Hua family asked the Marquis Prefecture for an explanation. Third Young Master, how do you plan to handle it?"

Hearing this, before Third Master He could speak, First Young Master He couldn't help but speak first: "Grandmother, our dignified Marquis Prefecture, do we need to give an explanation to a fallen family like the Hua family?"

The Wu Yi Marquis looked at First Young Master He with some disappointment and said directly to Third Master He: "Send Madam Shen to the villa."

Third Young Master He raised his head sharply: "... Father, how long will Madam Shen stay in the villa?"

The Wu Yi Marquis was silent for a while: "That depends on whether the Hua family has a future."

Third Young Master He understood what the Wu Yi Marquis meant and did not plead for Madam Shen.

The Wu Yi Marquis waved his hand: "Alright, you all go down."

Everyone retreated, and only the Wu Yi Marquis, the Marquis Lady, the He Heir, and the Second Master were left in the hall.

The He Heir looked at the Wu Yi Marquis: "Father, is it necessary to value the Hua family so much?"

The Wu Yi Marquis moved his somewhat stiff left shoulder. He had just erupted his bloodline supernatural power and barely fought a move with Hua Changxi, and he was injured: "Hua Changxi's cultivation is far above mine."

Hearing this, the He Heir and the Second Master were both shocked: "How is it possible?"

The Wu Yi Marquis looked at his two sons: "There is nothing impossible. Spiritual energy recovery, everything will be reshuffled. Even the royal family is unavoidable, let alone our family."

"All parties in the Kunlun Mountain are wrestling, but in the end, it was a wild boy who became the master of Kunlun Mountain."

"And Mount Wuzhi, although it is not clear what the background of that Fire Lotus Fairy is, all parties fought for months but were picked by her who suddenly popped out, which explains the problem very well."

"Power can bring some advantages, but cultivation involves many mysterious and unpredictable things. Having power alone may not necessarily lead to the end."

Hearing this, the He Heir and the Second Master's expressions were somewhat solemn. The fact that all parties were scrambling to send their own pill refiners to the Medicine Department some time ago had already made them feel a crisis.

It turned out that many powerful families were secretly cultivating their own pill refiners and cultivators, and their family was clearly lagging behind a lot.

The pharmacy on the First Street, the Wu Yi Marquis Prefecture didn't grab a single one.

Speaking of pill refining, the Second Master thought of the scene where Sixth Young Master Hua took pills during the battle with First Young Master He, and immediately told the Wu Yi Marquis and the He Heir about this.

The Wu Yi Marquis narrowed his eyes: "It seems the Hua family is even less simple than I thought." Saying this, he looked at his two sons: "Sirong and Siqi did the right thing this time. You go back and tell them to continue to be on good terms with Hua Changxi."

The He Heir and the Second Master nodded and agreed, then left the main courtyard.

On the other side, Hua Zhong took Hua Tai back to the Dingyuan Count Prefecture and met the Dingyuan Count and the Count Heir.

"What? After the Wu Yi Marquis fought with Hua Jiuniang Hua, he chose to retreat actively?"

After listening to Hua Zhong and Hua Tai's report, the Dingyuan Count's eyes flickered.

The Wu Yi Marquis was famous for his conceit among the generals. The one who could make him retreat actively must be someone he had no confidence in defeating.

Hua Jiuniang Hua's cultivation was actually above the Wu Yi Marquis!

Reaching this conclusion, the Dingyuan Count was very shocked, but thinking of Hua Hua Shiniang Hua of the Taisu Palace, he was somewhat enlightened.

It seemed Hua Hua Shiniang Hua had long been secretly guiding Hua Jiuniang Hua to step onto the path of cultivation, and also told Hua Jiuniang Hua in advance that the Medicine Department was a holy place.

Otherwise, Hua Jiuniang Hua wouldn't have entered the Medicine Department two years ago, even if she didn't care about being a menial.

The Count Heir frowned: "Sixth Young Master Hua and Hua Jiuniang Hua are both cultivators, but they didn't report it to the clan. What do they mean?"

The Dingyuan Count interrupted him: "Don't pursue this matter, it's meaningless." Saying this, he knocked on the table. "First Young Master Hua is a cultivator, Sixth Young Master Hua and Hua Jiuniang Hua are also, there is no reason why Third Young Master Hua is not."

"Five children are all cultivators, Hua Minghe and his wife are also likely cultivators."

The whole family were all cultivators, even the Dingyuan Count was somewhat envious: "Hua Minghe... gave birth to a good daughter!"

The Dingyuan Count looked at Hua Tai: "Hua Jiuniang Hua saved Hua Wuniang Hua, her medical skills should be very good?"

Hua Tai nodded: "Madam Zhong went in to check Hua Wuniang Hua's situation and said that if an ordinary doctor went, he wouldn't be able to save her life." Pausing, "If Hua Jiuniang Hua hadn't arrived in time, Third Madam He would probably have taken Hua Wuniang Hua's life, keeping the child and killing the mother."

Hua Zhong added: "Sixth Young Master Hua carries a large amount of spiritual pills, the kind that can instantly replenish spiritual energy."

The Count Heir was very concerned about the pills: "Who provided them with spiritual pills? Does the Hua Bin family know any pill refiners?"

Hua Tai hesitated for a moment and said: "Perhaps... they refined them themselves." Seeing the Dingyuan Count and the Count Heir both look over, he continued.

"Not long after Hua Jiuniang Hua entered the Medicine Department, the Hua family pharmacy began to sell pills for martial artists. They were all refined by Third Young Master Hua himself. I have taken them, and the efficacy is better than many sold in pharmacies."

The Dingyuan Count turned the thumb ring on his right thumb quickly: "The clan pays too little attention to the Hua Bin family, and it must be valued in the future."

Saying this, he looked at the Count Heir: "Let Shuran have more contact with Hua Jiuniang Hua in the Medicine Department. She is Hua Hua Shiniang Hua's twin, maybe she knows many things we don't know."

Just when the Marquis Prefecture and the Count Prefecture were discussing the Hua family, Hua Changxi also followed her family back to the Hua family courtyard.

Hua Changxi originally thought that she was too tough in the Marquis Prefecture and would be scolded by Old Master Hua and Old Madam Hua after she came back. Who would have thought that the two didn't say anything about it.

"Grandmother, if you want to say something, just say it."

Seeing Old Madam Hua looking at her from time to time, wanting to speak but stopping, Hua Changxi couldn't help it and asked directly.

Old Madam Hua was also someone who couldn't hide things, looking at the red lotus pattern on Hua Changxi's brow: "Why did you draw a flower mark for no reason?"

Hua Changxi didn't expect it to be this matter, touching her brow: "Is it not good-looking?"

Old Madam Hua said angrily: "You are already very eye-catching on weekdays, now that you draw a flower mark... it's too flamboyant, don't draw it again in the future."

Hua Changxi turned to look at Madam Yao, asking her if it looked good.

Madam Yao examined it carefully and smiled: "Good-looking." Saying this, she looked at Old Madam Hua: "Mother, there are many young ladies who draw flower marks, Hua Jiuniang is not considered eye-catching."

Old Madam Hua looked at Hua Changxi's open eyebrows, the skin like fat made her couldn't help but want to look more: "You don't look at what your daughter looks like, you indulge her. Do you think it's a good thing for a young lady to be too outstanding?"

Old Madam Hua looked at Hua Changxi's open features, her skin like congealed fat making her unable to resist wanting to look a few more times: "You don't even look at what your daughter looks like; you indulge her. Do you think it's such a good thing for a young lady to be too outstanding?"

Hua Changxi thought for a while and took out the Totem Jin Bo.

Sixth Young Master Hua immediately stepped forward: "Hua Jiuniang, what is this?"

Hua Changxi: "This is the Totem Jin Bo, which can reflect the blood totem in the human body."

Sixth Young Master Hua didn't understand: "What is a blood totem?"

Hua Changxi: "The tiger that floated out from Third Young Master He's body is the He family's blood totem."

Sixth Young Master Hua had felt the power of that illusory tiger at close range: "Does our family have it too?"

Hua Changxi looked at the people in the room: "You have to shine it to know."

Next, starting from the younger generation, Hua Changxi irradiated them one by one with the Totem Jin Bo.

What she didn't expect was that all the younger generation of the Hua family shone out lotus totems.

Hua Changxi began to irradiate the adults again. Hua Minghe, Hua Ming'ang, and Hua Mingcheng brothers also shone out lotus totems, but Second Aunt Hua and Fourth Aunt Hua didn't shine anything, and Madam Yao shone out a fire bird Zhu Que.

"So many people in our family have returned to their ancestors? Is this entering a lotus nest?"

Hua Changxi irradiated Old Master Hua and Old Madam Hua again. Old Madam Hua didn't shine anything, but a more surprising thing happened.

The lotus totem that appeared on Old Master Hua was the clearest, which meant that his bloodline return to ancestors degree was the highest.

Regarding cultivation, it was impossible to say that Old Master Hua had never been tempted, but the pills Hua Hua Shiniang brought back were only three portions, so they had to be given to the grandchildren first.

When he was shone out a lotus totem by his ninth granddaughter, Old Master Hua asked excitedly: "Hua Jiuniang, can Grandfather also cultivate?"

Hua Changxi nodded: "It is possible, but it will be very hard."

Old Master Hua grinned. What is hard? He had a bumpy life and was not afraid of hardship.

Hua Changxi asked curiously: "Grandfather, did you eat anything that returned to ancestors before you got married?"

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why so many people in their family had returned to their ancestors.

Old Master Hua shook his head: "How would I know what returned to ancestors or not."

Hua Changxi: "Think carefully, have you eaten anything special or special?"

Old Master Hua recalled the things before he got married and shook his head: "When I was young, I ate hundred-family rice. When I grew up, I wandered around. When I was hungry, I ate everything. I can't remember." ===== CHAPTER 114 =====

Old Master Hua recalled matters from before his marriage and shook his head: "When I was young, I ate from a hundred families. When I grew up, I wandered everywhere; when I was hungry, I ate whatever there was. I can't remember."
