Chapter 229 Thorns Beneath the Calm

Going to a faraway place to do business?

This is clearly a friendly lie.

"Angel, would you like to dry the mushrooms in the sun?"

"it is good."

Angel obediently went out.

Su Yan looked at her, "What happened?"

“Angel’s father accompanied me in the Holy War.”

"……Feel sorry."

"It's alright. So many people died. I'm lucky to have survived and returned to Angel's side. Sister Su, how did you get here?"

"Me?" Su Yan recalled that she had dropped a big bomb and run away, which was actually an impulsive act.

Having witnessed Lena and Angel's composure and the gentle passage of time, if she were to return to that past, she might not necessarily resort to that genocidal weapon.

However, if we can wipe out the evil demon army, we can also prevent the continent from being ravaged and invaded in the future.

That's enough, what's the point of thinking about it now that it's already done?

They quickly put the matter out of their minds.

“Ethan is still single,” Su Yan said to Lena. “His private restaurant is still open. Far said he’s hiring, but he’s turning away every applicant.”

Lena's expression paused slightly. "He..."

Su Yan replied, "I think he's been waiting for you."

Having said that much, Su Yan didn't continue.

However, Lena's expression looked somewhat bitter.

"I didn't expect to meet you and your child here. This is a gift for you." Su Yan took out a storage bag and handed it to Lena. Inside were some daily necessities and baby food.

"Thank you, Sister Su." After Lena lost the childbirth system, she also lost the space. Everything that once existed in it vanished, even her talent disappeared.

Now, even this storage bag is an extremely rare item for her.

……

"Why are you here again?" Angel's angry voice came from the courtyard into the house.

Su Yan and Lena went out one after the other.

Then we saw several males carrying a pink sedan chair over.

"Of course we've come to take your mother to the city to enjoy wealth and luxury." The leader was a male with a mustache and a slightly hunchbacked posture. He had a pair of cunning, slanted eyes and was sizing up Lena. He was really rude and disrespectful, and he also exuded a foul stench.

"Sachi, you've gone too far!" Lena shouted angrily.

“We have guests.” Sachi turned to look at Su Yan.

Su Yan's clearly pregnant figure, her delicate and exquisite face, her gorgeous clothes and shoes, and the noble air about her—even if you didn't know who she was, you knew she must be someone important. Especially a pregnant female; being fertile meant she was definitely not simple.

"And who is this noble lady?" Sachi took a step closer to Su Yan.

Lena immediately tensed up and stood protectively in front of Su Yan, asking, "What are you going to do?"

Sachi looked at Lena with disdain. "Get out of the way, don't block my way from getting to know this noblewoman."

"But I don't want to know you, get out!" Su Yan raised her hand, and a fireball flew into the sedan chair.

In an instant, the precious child turned to ashes, without even a burning process.

Not only is she of noble birth and fertile, but she also possesses extraordinary talent! Sachi knew that he might have run into someone he couldn't afford to offend today.

"Sorry, sorry, we'll get out of here, we'll get out of here right now." Sachi and his men ran away immediately.

Angel was astonished to see that Shu Yan could conjure fire with a mere wave of her hand. "Aunt Su, you're amazing!"

“Your mother used to be even more formidable,” Su Yan said with a smile. “You go ahead and do your thing, I’ll talk to your mother some more.”

Lena was filled with helplessness and sorrow.

It turns out that her father and younger brother encountered a ferocious beast from the abyss while hunting, and her father was eaten by the beast in order to save her brother.

Her younger brother joined the Holy Church to avenge their father, but he never returned.

Her mother was seriously ill, and she returned just in time to see her one last time. As for Angel, she was abandoned by her grandparents and left with her mother because of her physical disability.

After arranging her mother's funeral, she moved to the mountains with Angel, hoping to live a peaceful life.

However, it's not that easy.

Because she frequently took Angel to see the doctor, she caught the eye of the town's bully. He harassed her repeatedly, and recently, knowing she was struggling financially while looking for work, he became even more brazen.

"Why don't you go back to the capital?" Su Yan looked at her with pity.

Lena shook her head. "After my childbirth system was gone, I had nothing left."

Su Yan looked at Angel, who was jumping and playing outside, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Lena replied, "After she took human form at the age of six, she developed intersex characteristics. However, the male form is deformed, while the female form is complete. I consulted a tribal shaman I used to know, who said that a portion could be removed, but it would likely be life-threatening."

Su Yan frowned. "How about we go to the Holy Capital? The conditions there are much better. Besides, the palace has the best shamans."

Lena was intrigued and looked towards Angel outside.

"The child's health is more important." Su Yan took a piece of fresh fruit from the fruit plate and ate it. It was sweet and sour. "This is delicious."

"Sister Su likes the wild fruits that grow on the mountain. I'll pick more later." Lena pushed the plate toward Su Yan.

"Okay, let's go pick some together." Su Yan looked at the simple room, there wasn't much to tidy up. "Shall we go to the Holy Capital tomorrow?"

"...I'll do whatever Sister Su says." Lena's eyes flickered with unease, but even more so with hope.

Su Yan patted her shoulder, "Since you call me sister, lean on me a little, otherwise it's a waste to call me sister."

Lena couldn't help but hug her. "Thank you, Sister Su."

……

Lena got up very early, first to pay respects to her parents, and then picked all the ripe wild fruits on the mountain, filling three large baskets.

Su Yan slept in late, and when she woke up, she looked at the three large baskets of fruit and said with a playful smile, "Why didn't you call me to come with you?"

"Sister Su is pregnant, she should get plenty of sleep." Lena deftly prepared another meal.

"A mother's strength is boundless; you are a completely different person now."

"Thinking back to my past reckless and dissolute behavior, I feel quite regretful. I didn't plan my life properly, which has led to my current predicament."

"It's okay, you've only just started. You can start over."

“Hmm.” Lena looked at Angel.

The little girl, somewhat bewildered, happily ate her hearty breakfast.

After quickly eating a couple of bites, Lena busied herself packing her things.

Just as they finished packing and were about to leave, another group of people arrived outside. In addition to Sachi from yesterday, there was also a young male dressed in bright clothes.

When he saw Su Yan, his eyes widened. "What a beautiful woman! Seize her! Everyone who sees her today gets a share!"

Upon hearing that they could also get a share of the spoils and have a taste of the broth, those lackeys rushed towards Su Yan and Lena with murderous intent.

"Sir, I twisted my back yesterday, so I'm heading back now. You all enjoy yourselves," Sachi said, turning and running away.

He's bad, but not stupid. That noblewoman is not to be trifled with!
