281 She’s Not Wrong

Yun Ran twisted her neck and ordered the secret guard beside her, “That person who said that little Sweetcake is a little monster… go and find out whose child she is. I’ll personally visit and ask them when they became little monsters with super heaven-level spiritual roots.”

The secret guards also felt that their little master, Sweetcake, was really aggrieved to have been called a little monster.

They were all a little indignant.

“What little monster? I think they’re just jealous. Jealous of our little master Sweet Cake’s spiritual root talent.”

“That’s right. Our little master Sweetcake has a super heaven-grade spiritual root. What about you? What level are your spiritual roots? Why don’t you tell us and let everyone hear and see?”

…

Among this group of children, there were one or two who were slightly older. Eight or nine-year-old children would have awakened their spiritual roots.

They were all the most ordinary spiritual roots. At this moment, they had not even understood the most basic Qi-gathering cultivation. They could not compare to Sweetcake’s super heaven-grade spiritual roots at all.

Although Yun Ran was angry, she could not deal with these half-grown brats. These children had listened to their parents and thought that Little Sweetcake was dangerous, so they ostracized her together.

It was useless even if she explained it to them seriously now because these children would only choose to believe in their parents and not an outsider like her.

Therefore, it was not easy for her to change the children’s minds with just a few explanations.

She would coax her Sweetcake first.

Yun Ran carried her little packrat to the side. After some comforting, the little packrat’s mood was much better and she no longer cried.

With her hands on her round waist, Sweetcake whined, “Sweetcake is not a little monster! Sweet Cake is a cute and beautiful little immortal.”

“Yes, Sweetcake is a little fairy.”

Yun Ran reached out and rubbed the girl’s head gently.

She looked up and saw that Xuanyuan Yu was actually staring at the little packrat with reddened eyes.

Yun Ran was speechless.

Xuanyuan Yu probably felt that the little packrat had suffered because of him and felt sorry for it.

“She’s fine. She just suffered a little.”

“Yes, Sweetcake is fine. Sweetcake is going to look for Big Brother.”

The little packrat gradually regained her composure. She raised her chubby little face at them and revealed her signature sweet smile. She waved her lotus root-like arms and ran off to play with her brother.

The class continued.

Yun Ran did not bring her back immediately.

She did not want to teach the little packrat to avoid trouble.

She told the little packrat that she was not in the wrong, so she did not have to hide from those people.

This time, Xuanyuan Yu did not dare to be rash in settling scores with the children’s families.

After taking a sip of herbal tea, he looked at Yun Ran and apologized.

“I didn’t know it’ll get Little Sweetcake involved.”

Yun Ran’s expression was placid as she replied indifferently, “She’s fine.”

“How can she be fine? She’s crying like that. No, I have to bring her back to Wu’an. In the palace, no one would dare to bully her like this.”

Xuanyuan Yu did not like Mo Beiyuan and had always wanted to bring Yun Ran and the children back to Wu’an.

This time, because of Sweetcake, he tried to persuade Yun Ran again.

Yun Ran sighed softly. “I know you dote on her, but she can’t always be a little flower protected by layers of secret guards. This is not how she should grow up.”

Yun Ran’s heart ached for the little packrat, but she had stayed in the apocalyptic environment for too long. Although she was heartened that the little packrat was doted on, they could not stop her from growing up.
