I'm a "Lady"

Qian Jun and Demon Subduer looked at Xiao Mo's filthy state with aching hearts. Such a cute little girl had turned into a little wildling.

After returning to their residence, Demon Subduer immediately ordered someone to wash Xiao Mo from head to toe and change her into pretty clothes.

Only after seeing Xiao Mo looking clean and lovely again did Qian Jun and Demon Subduer nod in satisfaction.

"Xiao Mo, sleep well tonight. Tomorrow, Grandpa will take you to pick fruit, all right?"

Xiao Mo nodded. She had not forgotten how delicious those fruits had been when Guang Ling took her to steal them.

"Okay! Then good night, Sixth Grandpa, Seventh Grandpa. Muah!"

Xiao Mo blew Qian Jun and Demon Subduer a kiss, then obediently climbed beneath the covers to sleep.

Early the next morning, Xiao Mo got up, washed, and dressed bright and early, brimming with enthusiasm for the day's farm work.

Qian Jun had also arrived outside Xiao Mo's door early to wait. When he saw her emerge, he immediately handed over the straw hat he had woven.

"Xiao Mo, this is the straw hat Grandpa rushed to make overnight. See if you like it."

The hat was woven from simple vines and decorated with many morning glories, making it look exceptionally pretty.

Xiao Mo happily accepted the straw hat, but Demon Subduer beside her felt terribly awkward. He had not prepared a gift for Xiao Mo.

He shot Qian Jun a resentful glare and cursed inwardly with a laugh.

That old bastard is so scheming! How had I never noticed after all these years?

Xiao Mo loved the straw hat so much that she could not resist putting it on. It fit perfectly.

"Wow, Sixth Grandpa, you're amazing! I love it so much! Sixth Grandpa is the best!"

Qian Jun's heart blossomed at Xiao Mo's praise. He stepped forward, picked her up, and said,

"Come on, I'll take you to breakfast. After we eat, Grandpa will take you fruit picking."

With that, Qian Jun ignored Demon Subduer's glare and carried Xiao Mo away.

Demon Subduer could only follow helplessly. After breakfast, the three of them finally set out.

The moment Xiao Mo arrived, the rich scent of the countryside washed over her, making her feel utterly refreshed.

"Xiao Mo, do you want to harvest wheat first, or pick fruit first?"

Qian Jun and Demon Subduer asked in unison, having already taken out all sorts of tools and placed them before Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo looked left and right, then finally turned to Qian Jun and Demon Subduer and said excitedly,

"Sixth Grandpa, Seventh Grandpa, can I climb a tree?"

The answer caught both Qian Jun and Demon Subduer off guard. Then they answered in unison.

"No. How can a little girl climb trees? That isn't ladylike."

Xiao Mo did not quite understand what a lady was, so she argued her case.

"But lots of people climb trees at school! It looks really fun, and they even invited me to climb with them!"

Qian Jun and Demon Subduer were left speechless. They could not understand what kind of school allowed girls to climb trees.

Demon Subduer crouched down, gently stroked Xiao Mo's head, and earnestly explained what being ladylike meant.

Actually, he did not understand it either. He simply used Qian Renxue from when she was little as an example, telling Xiao Mo how obedient and ladylike she had been.

The more Xiao Mo listened, the more familiar it sounded. She looked seriously into Demon Subduer's eyes and asked,

"Seventh Grandpa, are you talking about Mama?"

Demon Subduer had not expected Xiao Mo to connect it to Qian Renxue, but with her mother as an example, Xiao Mo surely would not climb trees.

"Yes. Little Xue was very well-behaved and obedient when she was young. She never made me worry much."

Xiao Mo frowned. She seemed to have thought of something unpleasant, so she asked,

"But Mama has a really bad temper! She gets angry so easily. Whenever she gets angry, she throws Papa out and makes him kneel on a washboard. Is that ladylike too?"

Qian Jun and Demon Subduer both fell silent. They were holding back laughter inside and felt somewhat sorry for Su Yan.

They knew that Qian Renxue only seemed obedient on the surface. In truth, she was wickedly shrewd, and anyone who provoked her would definitely meet a bad end.

"You'll understand such things when you grow up, Xiao Mo. For now, you need to be a proper little lady, understand?"

Xiao Mo nodded, and Qian Jun and Demon Subduer nodded approvingly as well. But the very next second, Xiao Mo climbed straight up an apple tree.

Seeing Xiao Mo climb the tree, Qian Jun and Demon Subduer practically shattered on the spot. So everything they had just said had been for nothing.

"Oh, my little ancestor, hurry down! Don't fall!"

The moment the two finished speaking, Xiao Mo fell right down and landed on her butt.

They thought Xiao Mo would cry and hurried over to comfort her, but she wore an angry expression and climbed back up again.

This left Qian Jun and Demon Subduer completely speechless. In the end, they simply let Xiao Mo play.

They only needed to stand nearby and catch her. That would make things much safer.

Unfortunately, the two selectively forgot that Xiao Mo possessed the Fivefold Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power at level 50, an existence that defied the heavens.

The tree was only seven or eight meters tall. Xiao Mo would be completely fine even if she fell from it.

Watching Xiao Mo climb the tree, the two wore indulgent smiles, thinking that children who loved being active were a good thing.

But why was her personality so much like that old brat Guang Ling? That gave them both quite a headache.

Thinking this, they unanimously decided that once they returned, they needed to speak with Qian Daoliu and keep Xiao Mo away from Guang Ling. Otherwise, she really would be led astray.

As the two pondered, they suddenly heard a splash. Xiao Mo had jumped straight from the tree into the pond.

The sound of her dive snapped them out of their thoughts, and they hurried toward the pond.

"Oh, little ancestor, why are you playing at diving again? Get out quickly, or you'll catch a cold!"

The two shouted as they rushed toward the pond, only for Xiao Mo to burst from the water while hugging a fish.

"Sixth Grandpa, Seventh Grandpa, what a huge fish!"

Xiao Mo proudly held up a fish bigger than she was. She had never seen such a large fish before.

Qian Jun lifted Xiao Mo out of the water. Just as he was about to scold her, Xiao Mo ran off again!

This time, Xiao Mo ran into the wheat field. The wheat there was taller than she was, and the moment she entered, she disappeared from sight.

"Sixth Grandpa, Seventh Grandpa, let's play hide-and-seek! If you find me, I won't cause any more trouble!"

Qian Jun and Demon Subduer smiled helplessly, but they still played along with Xiao Mo.

The two did not use their soul power to search. Since they were playing, they certainly could not cheat.

Xiao Mo darted back and forth through the wheat field, stubbornly refusing to let Qian Jun and Demon Subduer find her.

Moreover, the wheat seemed to be deliberately concealing Xiao Mo's figure, making her even harder to find.

The day passed quickly, and Qian Jun and Demon Subduer prepared dinner.

They were not as wild as Male Lion, who ate huge portions of fish and meat at every meal. Their meals were very vegetarian.

Yet Xiao Mo ate with great delight. She felt that this was the most delicious meal she had ever had.

After dinner, Xiao Mo waited for Qian Daoliu to come pick her up, but Bibi Dong came instead.

The moment Bibi Dong entered, she saw Xiao Mo looking filthy, covered in mud, with her clothes torn as well.

She hurried forward to check on her, then glared at Qian Jun and Demon Subduer as she demanded angrily,

"How do you two take care of a child? How did you get Xiao Mo this dirty?"

Qian Jun and Demon Subduer had their own grievances, but fortunately, Xiao Mo stopped the enraged Bibi Dong and explained what had happened.

The misunderstanding was cleared up, but Bibi Dong still did not give them a kind look. She earnestly said to Xiao Mo,

"Xiao Mo, you're a girl. You can't be like little boys. You need to be ladylike, understand?"

Xiao Mo nodded. Her two grandpas had already told her the same thing many times today, but Xiao Mo believed she was already very ladylike!
