The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

“Your daughter did something wrong.
Isn’t it natural to kneel down and beg forgiveness with an apology?” Madam Qui always thought her children were the best.
The children of other houses were nothing in her eyes.
Feng Wu was even worse; she was rubbish, so it was perfectly naturally for someone like that to kneel and apologize to her daughter.

Papa Feng flicked his sleeve and put his hands behind his back.
“Oh? Can your daughter bear it? Having my Xiao Wu kneel in front of her? She’s not afraid of earning ill fortune in the future?” His voice was cold.

“You dare curse my daughter?!”[notes] Madam Qui couldn’t tolerate a single blemish on her children.
Of course she wouldn’t stand and listen quietly now.

“Humph!” Papa Feng snorted.
He turned his head, not bothering to look at the shrew in front of him.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Good thing he escaped marriage with her, instead the Qui house were the ones with the misfortune of handling her.

“Mother, we aren’t here to fight with each other.
Don’t over speak.” Bai couldn’t take it anymore.
Odds of them fighting would go up if they kept going back and forth like this.

“Humph!” Madam Qui snorted.
She decided to give her son some face, so she turned her head away and stopped talking.

“Tian, go and call Feng Wu.
She’s the other party involved.
She should be a part of this discussion.” That was the only thing Bai could think of saying.

Tian turned to his father.
He left to get Feng Wu after getting a nod from his father.

The atmosphere was frigid between the two groups.
The hall was completely silent as they waited for Tian to return.

Tian returned ten minutes later with Feng Wu and Madam Lan.

Madam Lan was teaching Feng Wu an embroidery technique native to the ancient eastern countries.
It was a technique young ladies were expected to learn as it was a praise-worthy skill.

Madam Lan was pleased.
Feng Wu had never been interested in embroidery until now.
She had always been intent on getting rid of her reputation for broken cultivation, so she preferred trying to learn swordsmanship.
But now her baby had finally grown and was interested in listening.
She had also wanted to teach Xiao Wu to occasionally make special dishes for her future husband.
It would have been fun, but she never expected Xiao Wu ’s cooking skills could be so lethal.
The cooking plan was aborted immediately.

Now she was trying to teach Xiao Wu to embroider.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu was really good!

Feng Wu had been a bad cook back when she lived on Yuehua mountain too, which was why her chores involved cleaning, cutting firewood, mending clothes, and things like that.
Her skills were naturally a good match for embroidering things.
Never mind embroidery, Feng Wu had no problems sewing her own clothes.

Just as mother and daughter were learning together, Tian came and interrupted them, saying it was a request from her husband.

Madam Lan was shocked.
Were they trying to drive her baby out again?! Madam Lan had been traumatized the first her father-in-law kicked her baby out.

This time, this time she would go with Xiao Wu and see Father-in-Law.
Xiao Wu was too pitiful.
She wouldn’t let her face Father-in-law alone.
All kinds of preposterous possibilities filled Madam Lan’s head.

She refused to believe it wasn’t the case no matter how much Tian tried to explain.
Madam Lan was sure her father-in-law was going to kick her baby out again.

Tian: …

He didn’t know what else to say.
Forget it.
His mother was just too good at imagining things.
Sometimes it was impossible to talk sense into her.
As a result Madam Lan came with him and Xiao Wu to the main hall.

“Why are you here?” Papa Feng was surprised at his wife’s appearance.
He turned to Tian for an answer.

Tian: Don’t ask.
I don’t know anything.

No response came from his son.
He could only turn back to his wife and wait for a response.

“What’s wrong? You didn’t tell me Madam Qui was visiting.” Turned out Father-in-law wasn’t trying to drive Xiao Wu out.

Madam Lan glanced at the other group finally willing to believe Tian.
As long as Father-in-law wasn’t trying to drive her baby out, anything else could be resolved.

Papa Feng smiled dryly.
Things were only going to get worse with these two in the picture.

Who didn’t know Madam Qui looked at his wife unpleasantly? It was like a firework explosion whenever they got together.
Although it was always Madam Qui who lit the flames…

“Madam Qui just arrived so it slipped my mind,” he lied without missing a beat.

“Oh.
Why don’t we ask Madam Qui to have a seat?” She gestured the to servants.
“Come, bring some cups and tea.
Everyone please sit.
Sit.
We’re all friends.
Don’t be so formal.” Madam Lan laughed lightly and gently.
Her demeaner was a stark contrast from Madam Qui’s fiery one.

Madam Qui’s anger rose 100% at the sight of Madam Lan.
“Your daughter beat my daughter.
Have her kneel and apologize immediately.
Otherwise don’t blame me for not giving you and your husband any face.”

Madam Lan’s eyes widened.
“Xiao Wu, you really hit Qui Shiu?”

Feng Wu’s face was still as stiff as ever, but she did nod her head.

“Wow! You are so good! My Xiao Wu finally got so strong! No one can say you ’re a broken cultivator now.
Mother is so happy for you!” Madam Lan pulled out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes.

Did you miss the point? Everyone else was stunned into silence.
How did you equate hitting Shui with not being a broken cultivator anymore?

Well… it was true.
Shui wasn’t powerful when compared to the rest of the world but when compared to her peers she was definitely strong.
Even if Feng Wu wasn ’t on par with Shui, that Feng Wu could slap Shui proved she wasn ’t weak.

This kind of strength… you couldn’t classify as broken.

“Stop crying and stop behaving so foolishly.
Have your daughter kneel and apologize!” Madam Qui was going crazy.
This stupid Madam Lan! She was always like this! It drove her mad every time.

“Apologize? What for?” The bubble of tears in her eyes dissipated in the space of a single sentence.
Truly, a magnificent gift.
No one could beat her when it came to dramatic tears.
