Chapter 4: He Has a Decent Father

Liu Muyun left to open the door, but paused for a moment after hearing his words. He hid the feeling of helplessness in his smile and said, "It's okay. The doctor said that you lost too much blood and needed food.. Your father will be heartbroken when he finds out that you are injured, so he asked Uncle Zhao to go hunting this morning. They'll be back soon. During the day, you can drink thick chicken soup and eat your favorite thighs.."

The door closed with a squeaking sound and the room went quiet again. Yu Xiaocao propped himself up and touched the wound on his head. He remembered his dream and took out his arm with a colorful stone tied around his wrist.

He gently shook the rainbow stone, which didn't seem too special. He muttered to himself, "Obviously only my soul was transferred, so how am I supposed to carry this stone? I must have dreamt before.it was just a useless stone. How could it be a god stone?"

[You are the useless stone! Your whole family is a useless stone!] Riba suddenly, a bright spot appeared on top of the multicolored stone and the voice of an angry child appeared in Yu Xiaocao's mind. He was so shocked that he almost threw away the stone in his hand.

That bright spot gradually became a small golden ball the size of a child's fist. A pair of large round eyes and a small mouth appeared on the glowing orb, which was casually floating in the air. At this moment, the small glowing orb glared at him with an angry face with a puffy face state, which made him look rather cute.

Yu Xiaocao stretched out his hand and wanted to hold the small glowing orb. However, the little creature quickly flew over with a haughty and funny expression on its face.

"Don't be mad, I'll apologize to you, okay? You really are a divine stone? Do you really have the ability to heal injuries? Are you the one who healed the wound on my head?" Yu Xiaocao asked a series of questions.

"The haughty divine stone snorted with disdain and said. [I, this divine Stone, am the only mystic stone personally purified by Goddess Nuwa, Don't you think I'm amazing? However, most of my power was sealed by the damned Liang'er. How else could I be stained by the blood of a weak human and foolishly accept you as my master?!]

"My grimness has been sealed! Why are you still bragging about yourself? Stop your nonsense about weak humans! The master and servant relationship is already established, so I am your master now. Not that I'm happy with the situation. Tigers are nothing but useless stones whose strength is sealed. I can't even eat you when I'm hungry, or drink you when I'm thirsty. What can I use for you?"

The glowing little ball turned into an angry little kitten with golden fur and immediately rushed towards him, His little claw almost scratched Yu Xiaocao's face as it shouted.

[Who said I was useless? Who healed the wound on your head? With such a big hole in your head, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be able to get out of bed for half a month! How else do you still have the energy to argue with me? Although most of my power is sealed, I am still a stone that was personally purified by Goddess Buwa! My bath water alone can prolong life and cure all kinds of diseases. In addition, it can also increase power and maintain youthfulness!]

Uh... Shower water? Yu Xiaocao blinked his eyes a few times. The glowing little ball seemed to have noticed the doubt and said, [Before I was chosen by Lord Nuwa, I was the colorful stone of the mountain stream. If you have to drink more of my bath water. I can make sure that your body will be strong and healthy. You will no longer have the disease.].

The glowing keil ball used its short claws to pat his chest, as if it was selling shaman medicine. Yu Xiaocao somewhat trusted him before, but he became somewhat unsure now.

[You don't trust me? How can you not trust me?! Huh, Huh I really need to show you, this mortal, how great I am!] The glowing little ball was furious and flew around the room in a rampage. Then, it rushed towards the wound on its head and emitted a faint golden light, which enveloped its wound on a gauze.

After a while, Yu Xiaocao released gauze on his head. Initially, the wound had only partially healed, but the wound was almost ready to be removed now. He did not immediately remove the wound because he was afraid of not being able to give an explanation at the time of replacing the medicine.

The small glowing ball proudly snorted at him. However, the unexpected sadness came after an overwhelming excitement. His strength had been exhausted, so it suddenly fell and disappeared into the colorful stone.

The moment it disappeared, Yu Xiaocao heard the little fellow speak in a weak voice, [Remember to soak me in water, it can help me help recover my spiritual strength.]

Yu Xiaocao hurriedly wrapped back the gauze on his head. The wound was still bleeding a few days ago, wouldn't it be strange if it healed in just three days?

The door thumped open right after he finished wrapping the bandage on his head. A mischievous wind entered through the crack and fiddled with the dim candle. A tall and rusty figure appeared before Yu Xiaocao's eyes.

"Dad?" Yu Xiaocao faintly heard that his new father was a very capable man, so he was very curious as to why he let his wife and children live so pitifully.

The man swiftly walked towards the bed. He could faintly see his face under the dim light. He has a healthy looking tanned skin with thick eyebrows and big eyes. With a sharp nose and a wide mouth, he appeared very masculine.

"My precious daughter! You really scared me! Fortunately, we were blessed by heaven and it turned out to be a palus alarm. After sleeping for so long, you must be hungry, right? Your favorite chicken soup will be ready soon!"

Yu Hai carefully observed the color of his daughter's skin. She actually looked much better than this morning, so she happily supported her to sit down and insert a pillow behind her back for her to lean on.

Yu Xiaocao's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he heard her speak in a soft tone as if she had personally persuaded a child. She was already a twenty-nine year old woman, so it made her very uncomfortable to be treated like a child.

Yu Xiaocao softly replied, "I've eaten eggs and porridge. Let the mother and younger brother drink chicken soup. Mom's body is weak, so she needs to feed her body. Also, the younger brother is still young and suffers from great fear today..."

Yu Hai gently stroked his daughter's head with his big fan-like hands, while carefully avoiding her injuries. He grinned and showed a mouth full of white teeth, "Our Cao'er is very understanding. You already know how to take care of your mother and younger brother. But don't worry. We have enough for everyone. We'll let the rest boil on the stove, so you can eat it when you're hungry."

Yu Xiaolian heard him and came with a sneer, "Dad stop persuading us! As soon as you entered the courtyard with the pheasants, the people from the eastern room had seen it. Only Heizi's brother can eat a chicken. At the time of our turn, we would be considered lucky if they left some leftovers!"

"If there's no more, then I'll hunt again tomorrow!" Yu Hai smiled at her kindly.

"Don't.." said his twin brother, Yu Xiaolian, silently rolling his eyes, "If you catch more, then it will be less likely for us to eat anything. You can't see Grandma's sad expression when you have to pay for medical expenses. He would definitely find a way to cover his losses, while also doubling his income."

"Stop! How can a child rebuke their parents like that?" Yu Hai scolded her with a rather gentle tone. After which, he turned his head towards Xiaocao with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll take care of the stove. I'll make sure Cao'er gets the part even though no one else in this family gets it."

Yu Xiaolan stuck her tongue out backwards, then smiled at her heartily, "Everything is fine about our father, but it would be best if it could be assertive. Grandmother oppressed us, but our father was a devoted son and our mother's personality was too gentle...'

Yu Xiao =cao had just moved here, so he still did not know the situation of this family. He only smiled as he listened. When he lowered his head when he saw the rainbow stone on his wrist, he hurriedly asked, "Uh... Xiaolian, can you take me some water? There's a blood stain on the rock..."

He had already gotten used to being the oldest child in his previous life, so it was very difficult for him to call an eight-year-old girl 'Sister Girl'.
