XIAO SHUXIANG'S

11 - Request [Revised]

Xiao Shuxiang and Hou Yong stared at the sight of his group mates eating grilled chicken while laughing together.

Though he and Hou Yong were already preparing to make an ambush to steal 'Feng Ying's Rice Sack', but as seen! The game of 'Keeping Treasure' is done somehow.

"You guys have been so long, I've been full waiting for you..." Yi Wen blared as she rubbed her stomach.

"How can you guys...?" Xiao Shuxiang stepped heavily towards his fellow students, Hou Yong following him from behind with his mouth open.

"Ba-not even a trace of the battle, your clothes are all clean...?" Hou Yong compared his clothes to those of his friends, the difference in their clothes was so noticeable.

"I told you, this is his name... 'Beautiful Girl'" Yi Wen smiled in satisfaction towards Xiao Shuxiang and Hou Yong.

"Where are Jing Mi and Big Brother Lu Yang Beautiful?" qi Xuan asked then.

"They're there..." Hou Yong pointed in the direction where he and Xiao Shuxiang left Xiao Lu and Jing Mi.

Yi Wen, "Why did you leave them? Let's bring Brother Jing and Brother Lu the Beautiful here."

Hou Yong and Xiao Shuxiang looked at each other, the expressions of both of them looking disappointed as the fight they had imagined did not materialize. With lazy steps, they returned to the place where Xiao Lu and Jing Mi were tied up.

After quite some time, Xiao Shuxiang and Hou Yong finally came with Xiao Lu and Jing Mi.

Xiao Lu was seen flanking Xiao Shuxiang in his armpits. While Jing Mi and Hou Yong tried to hold back their laughter as they looked at Xiao Shuxiang's pale, breathless face.

"He-Hey! Le-Release!!" Xiao Shuxiang could not hold his breath anymore, he really could not bear Xiao Lu's behavior.

"You haven't called me 'Sister' lately. I won't let you go before you call me 'Beautiful Brother Lu' and apologize to me for dropping me and tying me up!!" Xiao Lu dragged Xiao Shuxiang towards his friends while continuing to flank him.

"Da-in your dreams! Y-you also almost cut off my hand earlier, there's no way I'm going to apologize to you!" Xiao Shuxiang felt extremely stuffy continuously flanked by Xiao Lu. During his life, he had only been treated like this for the first time, let alone by a little girl.

"Haaahs... I was really treated like a kid by this kid!"

Luckily Yang Shu came, so Xiao Shuxiang could escape the torment of Xiao Lu's armpit.

"What are you doing?" yang Shu asked Xiao Lu and Xiao Shuxiang. He brought some oranges for his students.

Upon seeing that Yang Shu, Xiao Lu immediately let go of Xiao Shuxiang and revealed his sweetest smile.

"I was just giving a warm hug to my sister, Cake." Said Xiao Lu while embracing and gently stroking Xiao Shuxiang's cheeks.

"Boho-hmp"

Xiao Lu immediately smothered Xiao Shuxiang's mouth when he heard his sister's remark, this action earned him a sharp look.

"Lu 'Er... Let go of your sister, you almost made her breathless..."

"Yes Cake," Xiao Lu released his provisions from Xiao Shuxiang.

Yang Shu gave the fruits he brought to Yi Wen. He also spoke to Xiao Lu and Xiao Shuxiang, "Let's go home. You guys should get ready because tomorrow you will go to the Young Cultivator Tournament. Xiao'Er, you haven't even asked your father and mother for permission to take part in the trip, have you? So let's go home. And for all of you... Ah, after eating-clean up your trash."

"Okay, Elder."

Xiao Lu, "I don't want to go home, Cake. I'll just be here. I'm worried that only Xuan'Er will take care of these kids. Jing Mi despite being one year younger than Xuan'Er and me-she is one of the thrusters here. He was just like Hou Yong and Yi Wen."

Jing Mi flinched, "Why me?"

Hou Yong himself snorted, "I got it too."

Yi Wen, "Beautiful Brother Lu is not sweet,"

"All right, but remember! We'll leave for the Lotus Flower Sect right at noon." Yang Shu reminded Xiao Lu.

"Good Cake!"

Yang Shu and Xiao Shuxiang then walked back towards the village, the place where Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei's house were located.

Since Yang Shu and Xiao Shuxiang left during the day, they had only arrived at Yang Hao's house when it was already very late afternoon.

After resting for quite a long time inside his room, Xiao Shuxiang started to go clean himself up.

Xiao WeiWei invited Xiao Shuxiang to dinner together when the son had changed clothes.

Yang Shu and Yang Hao were already waiting for Xiao Shuxiang, they smiled as they invited him to sit down with them.

"I've just really tasted this woman's cooking. This is the best food I've ever eaten." Xiao Shuxiang imagined his first life when he had to eat the flesh of a Demonic Beast that tasted tasteless and sometimes felt like eating charcoal.

"I guess... I need to learn to cook. Although it's just simple cooking, it's at least better than eating bland meat."

Xiao Shuxiang was seen lying on the bed staring at the ceiling of his room. He was thinking about how to obtain permission from Xiao WeiWei and Yang Hao, since he had been coming home until dinner last night... he had yet to say about his wish of wanting to join Yang Shu to the Lotus Flower Sect.

"I'd better try it first..." Xiao Shuxiang finally got up from his bed, he walked towards the door of his room.

Before Xiao Shuxiang went to Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei's room, he first searched for Yang Shu's whereabouts because the old geezer was nowhere to be seen in the living room. He finally found Yang Shu sleeping on top of a tree.

Xiao Shuxiang scratched his non-itchy head when he saw Yang Shu. He actually wanted to go to the old grandfather's place out of curiosity. Yet Xiao Shuxiang had something else to work on and that was to ask permission from Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei.

Sighing softly, Xiao Shuxiang slowly brought his hand closer to knock on the door of Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei's room.

Inside his own room, Yang Hao sat on the edge of the bed while closing his eyes. He was pleased with Xiao WeiWei's massage on both his shoulders and head.

"Darling, you are very talented in massaging." praised Yang Hao as he raised the thumb of his right hand.

"Tomorrow at night, it's your turn to massage me. You should do it like this, too,"

"Yes, I'll give you a massage like this too... You can even ask for a massage on the other side if you want..."

Xiao WeiWei hardened his massage, this made Yang Hao scream. Xiao WeiWei's face became as red as a tomato when she heard her husband's words earlier.

"Darling! What Are You Doing, sssh sakiit! I thought my head was broken!" Yang Hao stroked his head slowly.

Tuk Tuk Tuk

Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei heard the sound of their bedroom door being knocked on. "Who is that?" Xiao WeiWei asked.

"It... Me,"

Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei heard Xiao Shuxiang's voice. Yang Hao then asked the boy to go inside his room.

Slowly, Xiao Shuxiang opened the room door and he could see Yang Hao being massaged by Xiao WeiWei.

"Xiao'Eru? What's up, son? You usually come in without knocking on the door? Aren't you practicing the 'Remerging People' style of that old man?" Yang Hao smiled towards Xiao Shuxiang who was seen standing on the lip of the door.

"Honey, don't talk to Xiao'Er that way! Come here, son." Xiao WeiWei admonished her husband gently, she then asked her son to come closer.

"There is such a way...?" Xiao Shuxiang walked over to where Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei were.

When Xiao Shuxiang was already nearby, Yang Hao immediately raised his son and sat Xiao Shuxiang beside him. Yang Hao gently rubbed Xiao Shuxiang's head with a gentle smile towards him.

"What's up, Xiao'Er? Do you want to sleep with Mom and Dad?" tanyakanya.

"Bu-not so... Although my body is now seven years old, my real age is 39. Time yes, I have to sleep with a person whose age is no different from mine," Xiao Shuxiang was misbehaved and a little nervous as she answered Yang Hao's question.

"I... Actually want to ask permission. I want to go with grandfather to the Lotus Flower Sect." Xiao Shuxiang said the intention of his arrival.

Yang Hao's smile slowly faded, "But the journey there is so far away Xiao'Er and your body is too weak,"

Honestly, Yang Hao actually disliked if Xiao Shuxiang became a cultivator. He only wanted his son to be a mediocre child, he did not want his son to be involved in the dangers that existed in that world.

"Darling, you don't ban your son. Let him explore the world, Xiao'Er might be as great as his grandfather later."

Unlike Yang Hao, Xiao WeiWei naturally supported his son to become a cultivator. To him, only strong people could survive in this chaotic world.

Xiao WeiWei said, "Indeed, the current state of our village is safe and no danger is coming. However, either five or ten years into the future-it could just be that the village got an attack. That type of attack either came from Demonic Beasts or from evil people. If no one can defend this village, then our village will turn to dust. The cultivator that this village has is only Dad and I..."

Xiao WeiWei let out a slow breath, "I myself am convinced that cultivators who are outside the village area are much stronger. If there's an attack going on, you might be able to ask your friend for help. But it would not be the same if the one maintaining the safety of the villagers was not born in this place. After all, our village is very remote. It'll take a long time to get here,"

"The world your son will explore is dangerous, I disagree!" yang Hao browed, "I know that our village needs someone like Dad to keep this village safe, but I don't want my son to come too. Let someone else do it. It was enough to give Lu'Er permission to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. I can't give my son the same permission."

Xiao WeiWei again exhaled when he heard Yang Hao's words. He also gently rubbed Xiao Shuxiang's head. "Xiao'Er, go to your room. Let me talk to your dad..."

"Well," Xiao Shuxiang said, he then got off Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei's bed and walked out towards his room.

When Xiao Shuxiang was out of sight, Xiao WeiWei started talking to her husband, Yang Hao.

"Honey, you can't lock Xiao'Er in this place. He also wanted to be like father, to be a great cultivator. You don't remember? Xiao'Er was once very angry at you because you kept forbidding him from cultivating while you continued to support Lu'Er?!"

"Wei'Erb... Our son's physique was too weak. I could have allowed him to train in the father's sect. But to give him permission to leave this village, I don't want to!" Yang Hao shook his head strongly, "I've been hard off letting go of my daughter and I don't want my son to also follow in her brother's footsteps."

Xiao WeiWei gently stroked her husband's back, "You know dear? Your son is so much stronger than you think, I'm sure he can. If you were to take issue with his weak physique due to his flawed dantian, me and father could help Xiao'Er to fix it. You don't do this to your own son,"

Xiao WeiWei actually learned that Xiao Shuxiang always sneaked out of the house at night to practice. He knew how hard his son tried to become stronger. That was why, compared to banning him, it was better to support him with whatever he was doing now.

"But..."

"I know that's not why you wouldn't let him go. You're lonely, right?" Xiao WeiWei smiled faintly as he looked at Yang Hao with his eyebrows raised next to him.

Seeing his wife's gaze made Yang Hao take a breath then exhale slowly.

"Haaahs... I originally forbade Lu'Er to cultivate, because I didn't want him to leave us. When Xiao'Er was born, I was able to give Lu'Er permission because Xiao'Er was with me. And if Xiao'Er also left then... Hii. Those two brothers are really stubborn!" Yang Hao looked down languidly.

Looking at her husband's expression, it made Xiao WeiWei pinch Yang Hao's cheeks slowly. "They're both your children, their nature is down from you,"

"You're his mother, aren't you sad they're gonna leave us?" Yang Hao grabbed Xiao WeiWei's hand and put on a sullen face to his wife.

Xiao WeiWei's. "I'm also sad, but they have to use their own wings to fly. They can't stay in the nest, right?"

"Wei'Er's? You think my two kids are birds?" Yang Hao could not believe his wife's likening Xiao Lu and Xiao Shuxiang to birds.

"But I'll be lonely if they leave..." Yang Hao again bowed sadly, but his hand rubbed Xiao WeiWei's hand on his cheek, as if he was imagining the tender hand of a baby.

"There is still me" Xiao WeiWei held back her laughter as she looked at her husband's behavior. "Heah... This man, when he was with other people he was so sniffy. But when I'm with him his behavior will be like a child."

When he heard Xiao WeiWei's words just now, a smile was seen on Yang Hao's face. In the style of imitating his daughter Xiao Lu, he began to stare at Xiao WeiWei.

"Wei'Er, but I don't want them to leave... Nobody calls me 'Dad'. Nobody's making trouble. There is no funny face to play with. Wei'arr..." Yang Hao spoke in Xiao Lu's speech style when he wanted something, he smiled as he blinked his eyes a few times.

"You can still play with two donkeys in the cage, teach them to call you 'Dad'. Don't look at me like that," Xiao WeiWei was used to her husband's child-like speech, yet she didn't expect to be this anomaly.

Yang Hao immediately pouted when he heard the words of his wife, Xiao WeiWei. Clearly, his wife did not understand what he meant.

"Darling, you don't understand! huh." huh." Yang Hao softened his lips then let go of Xiao WeiWei's hand and began to sleep.

"Well, even sulking... You big baby!"

Aunt Wei, Uncle Yang Hao wants a night ration. Please be a little more sensitive, (´Directly)

And to Friends, thank you for reading this far. ( ´ ▽ ` ) ⁇

This work is our first writing with the Xuanhuan genre and leads to the Slice Of Life of the Shortness world. So the groove is intentionally slow (not suitable for most serious #Dasha readers).

Also for this chapter hundreds down, Mc is not too highlighted huh. So don't ask me again, 'Kok kayak gini anyway?', 'This is who Mc really is?' and so forth.

Dasha is just hoping Friends can enjoy our different writing style from other writers.
