Qian Renxue's Mischief

The door hinges creaked.

Qian Renxue walked in. "Is the boss here? I want to buy something."

A few seconds later, Bi Dashan lifted the curtain and came out, holding a rag in his hand. He saw a strange little girl standing in front of the counter and greeted her with a smile.

"What would you like to order, miss?"

Qian Renxue put her hands behind her back, looked up at him, and said, "I want a hug."

Bi Dashan thought he had misheard.

"What... what did you say?"

"I said, I want a hug." After saying that, she opened her arms.

Hearing the commotion, Liu Xiulan came out from the inner room, carrying a sewing basket. When she saw the unfamiliar girl with outstretched arms in front of the counter, she frowned slightly.

Bi Dashan bent down and said in a coaxing tone, as if speaking to a child, "Little girl, have you mistaken me for someone else?"

Qian Renxue shook her head, her arms still outstretched. "I didn't admit my mistake. You hugged me yesterday, and now you don't want to anymore?"

The grocery store became quiet, even a little chilly.

Liu Xiulan placed the sewing basket on the counter with a soft sound, but it shook noticeably Bi Dashan.

She turned to look at Bi Dashan, her gaze calm.

"Bi Dashan, what do you mean?"

Bi Dashan waved his hands repeatedly. "No, wife of the child, don't listen to her nonsense, I don't know her at all!"

"Still dare to argue?"

Liu Xiulan took out a feather duster from the corner of the counter, and tapped the counter with the bamboo handle, making a "smack" sound.

"Bi Dashan, huh? Life's better now, your children are successful, and you're already looking for other women? And such young ones at that?"

"I don't!"

Bi Dashan backward, his lower back slamming into the shelf.

"I don't even know her name, little girl, say something!"

Qian Renxue watched him sweat profusely with anxiety, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing the laughter, Liu Xiulan slammed the feather duster on the counter and her gaze fell on Qian Renxue.

"Who are you? You're so young and already behaving badly? Are you trying to seduce someone else's husband?"

Qian Renxue remained silent, then took a step back and dropped her disguise.

Golden light shone from between her brows, her black hair turned gold from the roots, her features became more refined, and her skin turned snow-white.

In a few breaths, a six-year-old blonde girl stood in the center of the grocery store.

"My name is Qian Renxue, and I am your granddaughter."

Bi Dashan went from being terrified to bewildered, and finally, with a wry smile, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Liu Xiulan stared at Qian Renxue for a few seconds, and after confirming that she was her granddaughter, her anger subsided. She was both annoyed and amused, and reached out to tap Qian Renxue's forehead.

"You naughty child! You almost scared your grandfather to death!"

Qian Renxue stuck out her tongue and tugged at her clothes.

"I'm sorry, Grandma."

"Don't be so naughty next time, you scared me to death."

After picking up the fallen bottles and jars from the shelf, Bi Dashan said, "Hey, honey, didn't you apologize to me?"

"What are you apologizing for?"

"You were just about to hit me with a feather duster, and you even accused me of having affairs."

"I remember all those words."

"We've been married for decades, and we don't even have this much trust."

Liu Xiulan said calmly, "Who told you not to recognize your own granddaughter?"

"She looks different, how could I recognize her?"

"Why don't you ask a few more questions? You panic as soon as you open your mouth, and when you panic, you seem guilty."

"You're right, whatever you say is correct."

"Xiao Xue, tell me, wasn't Grandpa wronged just now?"

Qian Renxue nodded seriously, then turned to Liu Xiulan: "Grandma, Grandpa was really wronged just now."

Liu Xiulan playfully patted Bi Dashan's arm. "Alright, alright, I wronged you, but you were really funny just now."

"I was scared!"

"When you walked towards me with a feather duster, I went through all the events of our forty years of marriage in my mind, trying to figure out what I had done wrong to you."

Liu Xiulan laughed out loud, "Don't scare Grandpa like that next time."

"Will Grandpa recognize me next time?"

"They should be able to recognize it."

"If you can't recognize it, you can't recognize it; you should at least be able to recognize it."

After saying that, Liu Xiulan sat down on the chair next to the counter and pulled Qian Renxue to her knees.

"Xiao Xue, how was school today?"

"It was great. I made some friends, took classes together, and even did some sparring in the afternoon."

"After school, I had dinner with them and we went shopping together."

Bi Dashan stood to the side for a while, then asked, "By the way, Xiao Xue, what was that ability you used to change your appearance? How did you do it? Show Grandpa."

Qian Renxue nodded and briefly explained the matter of the Disguise Soul Bone.

As she spoke, she demonstrated, and then her face transformed into Liu Xiulan's likeness.

Looking at the face in front of her that was exactly the same as her own, Liu Xiulan thought, "This Spirit Bone is truly amazing."

Bi Dashan chimed in, "Yes, exactly like you."

Qian Renxue withdrew her disguise and returned to her original form.

Then she turned around and walked up to Bi Dashan.

She opened her arms and hugged Bi Dashan's legs. "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I scared you just now."

Upon hearing this, Bi Dashan squatted down and hugged Qian Renxue into his arms.

"It's nothing, Grandpa thought it was quite interesting."

Liu Xiulan said, "It's good that you're not angry. I was a bit hasty just now and didn't ask clearly enough..."

"I'm not angry with Xiao Xue."

Bi Dashan interrupted her, "But I didn't say I wasn't angry with you."

"We've lived together for decades, and you can't even trust me this much? In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would cheat on you with other women?"

Liu Xiulan crossed her arms and said, "Who told you to be so handsome when you were young? The village says that when your Dashan was young, all the girls on the street secretly stared at him."

"They were the ones looking, I wasn't looking at them."

"You're old now, of course you'd say that."

"I'm old? How am I old? I'm the Soul King!"

Qian Renxue listened to the two bickering back and forth, her mouth agape in a wide smile.

Just then, a clear bell rang from outside the door.

Ring ring...

Ring ring...

Qian Renxue lifted her head from Bi Dashan's shoulder and looked towards the doorway.

A Bicycle was parked in front of the grocery store.

Qian Xunji sat on the bicycle seat, one long leg bracing against the ground to stabilize the bicycle, her hands gripping the handlebars.

Bibi Dong sat in the back seat, leaning to one side with her legs together, one arm around Qian Xunji's waist, exuding a languid air.

Qian Xunji removed her right hand from the handlebars and pressed the bicycle bell again.

Ring ring...

"What's wrong?"

Are you two arguing?

Bi Dashan and Liu Xiulan glared at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads away.

"No."

"We didn't argue, so who would want to argue with him?"

Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance, then simultaneously uttered an "Oh."

At this moment, Qian Renxue ran towards the door.

She ran to the Bicycle and looked up at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong got off the back of the Bicycle, and then she reached under Qian Renxue's arms and picked up her daughter.

How was your day at the academy?

"I made a few friends. In the afternoon's practical class, I'll be facing a boy named Gu Beichen."

"Then what?"

A hint of smugness appeared on Qian Renxue's face. "Of course I won. It took me less than five seconds."

Five seconds?

"Hmm, his sword is too slow."

"Well done, you didn't embarrass me," Qian Xunji. "Next time, finish in three seconds."

Bibi Dong snorted, "You told your daughter to finish in three seconds, but why didn't you calm down in three seconds just now?"

Qian Renxue asked curiously, "What emotion?"
