Chapter 272: The Same Formation?
Saying she brought a coffin was one thing, but how was she carrying it around with her!
Not just Teacher Li, even Lou Yuqi was bewildered. He looked at Nan Yuanman with a face full of horror: “I just wanted to take you as my henchman. Are you trying to send me to my death?”
Nan Yuanman looked bewildered: “I didn’t.”
Teacher Li quickly reached out and pressed down Nan Yuanman’s hand: “Yuanman, you can’t give this away! You can’t bring this thing to school tomorrow either.”
Nan Yuanman obediently nodded and put the small coffin back into her shoulder bag, responding with some regret: “Okay, Teacher.”
Teacher Li wiped the cold sweat beading on her forehead, grabbed Lou Yuqi by the ear to apologize to Li Yuzhen who was peeking from behind her, then took Nan Yuanman’s hand and led her to the podium to introduce her: “This is the new child Nan Yuanman who just joined the kindergarten. She’ll be going to school with us from now on. Everyone, give her a round of applause.”
The children obediently sitting behind the small desks clapped hard, their big eyes blinking curiously at Nan Yuanman as they whispered to their deskmates: “Her skin is so fair. She looks so cute.”
“I want to be besties with her! I wonder if she’ll like me.”
“I want to be her deskmate…”
“…”
Teacher Li took Nan Yuanman to sit in the second row near the podium, right next to Li Yuzhen, who had just come running tearfully with a runny nose to find the teacher.
Li Yuzhen eagerly introduced herself: “New friend, hello! My name is Li Yuzhen. Let’s be good friends from now on!”
Nan Yuanman nodded a bit shyly: “Okay.”
After settling Nan Yuanman, Teacher Li began the day’s lessons.
Lou Yuqi dawdled over to Nan Yuanman’s side, cautiously glancing at her once, then again.
Nan Yuanman couldn’t hold back and asked him: “Do you need something?”
He was disturbing her from learning pinyin!
Lou Yuqi fidgeted and hemmed and hawed before speaking: “Um… you, you really can’t be my henchman? I’m really good at fighting! I can definitely protect you!”
Li Yuzhen grabbed Nan Yuanman’s hand, pouting: “Yuanman, ignore him! Lou Yuqi is super mean! He always steals my candy!”
Lou Yuqi scratched his head: “I already apologized to you! At worst, I just won’t steal it anymore!”
Nan Yuanman instinctively looked at Lou Yuqi’s wrist, a flash of golden light passing quickly through her eyes. She shook her head: “You can’t beat me. I don’t want to be your henchman.”
She had almost thought Lou Yuqi was like her, someone who started martial arts practice as a child, but there were no traces of martial arts practice on his body.
Lou Yuqi looked incredulous: “Impossible! How could I not beat you?”
Nan Yuanman was short and chubby, looking as harmless as a cotton candy. He could pin her down with one hand—
Pin her to the ground.
When Lou Yuqi was lying on the ground, he didn’t react at all to how Nan Yuanman had done it. He had just blinked, and by the time he came back to his senses, he was already pressed into the sand.
The pain of his buttocks hitting the ground spread belatedly. Lou Yuqi’s mouth twitched, and he burst into loud cries: “Wah wah wah! My buttocks! My buttocks hurt so much!”
Nan Yuanman froze for a few seconds, then panicked instantly: “Hey hey, don’t cry! At worst, I can let you hit me back!”
She hadn’t expected Lou Yuqi to talk so tough but be so fragile in reality!
She hadn’t even used a fraction of her strength, and he was already pinned to the ground.
“I don’t want to, wah wah wah!” Lou Yuqi cried as he climbed up from the ground, wiping the tears from his face forcefully. Even as he grimaced in pain, he didn’t forget to say: “You beat me, so I’ll be your henchman.”
Nan Yuanman: “…Okay.”
Li Yuzhen’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her, clapping hard: “Yuanman, you’re so awesome! I want to be your henchman too!”
Teacher Li, who had come over upon hearing the crying, saw black.
She felt that thinking Nan Yuanman was obedient was her biggest mistake ever!!
In short, the first day of kindergarten passed in chaos, with no real danger.
When school let out, the Feng family members came to pick up Nan Yuanman as usual.
Feng Xingchi boldly scooped up Nan Yuanman before Feng Congqian could, kissing her several times: “Aww, Yuanman! Second Brother missed you so much after just one day!”
Nan Yuanman giggled: “I missed Second Brother too!”
Li Yuzhen and Lou Yuqi hadn’t expected so many people to come pick up Nan Yuanman, and they suddenly became shy.
Feng Jingcheng looked curiously at the two little kids: “Are you Yuanman’s new friends?”
“Yes, yes, Boss’s brother. I’m Lou Yuqi.” Lou Yuqi nodded nervously.
Li Yuzhen timidly: “I, I’m Li Yuzhen.”
“Boss?” Feng Langqing raised an eyebrow, looking at Nan Yuanman with curiosity.
Nan Yuanman puffed out her little chest: “That’s right! I’m their boss, and they’re my henchmen!”
Feng Jingcheng put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily: “Not bad, not bad. That’s my style!”
Feng Zining covered his face, unable to watch.
Feng Congqian smiled warmly at them: “You can come to Feng Family Manor to play with Yuanman in the future.”
Li Yuzhen and Lou Yuqi’s eyes lit up, nodding together: “Okay! Bye, Boss!”
Nan Yuanman waved her little paw: “Bye~”
After saying goodbye to each other, Feng Xingchi carried Nan Yuanman into the car.
The moment he stepped into the car, Feng Yuli’s vision suddenly went black, his foot stumbled, and he nearly fell inside. Feng Yanxiu caught him in time, his brows furrowing as he noticed Feng Yuli’s suddenly much paler face: “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, maybe I haven’t slept well these past couple days.” Feng Yuli rubbed his brow: “I’ll be fine after resting when we get back.”
Nan Yuanman, who had already been carried inside, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned back to look in Feng Yuli’s direction.
The next second, she saw the three yang fires burning fiercely on Feng Yuli’s body dim like they had been doused with water.
Feng Yuli’s originally bright glabella quickly became shrouded in a layer of faint bad luck, and his facial physiognomy subtly changed, from a smooth-sailing wealthy destiny to a disaster-prone premature death destiny.
Immediately after, she saw Feng Yuli’s fortune slowly dissipating from his Baihui acupoint and drifting into the distance.
Nan Yuanman: “!!!”
She didn’t have time to think and stood up from Feng Xingchi’s arms, quickly pouncing toward Feng Yuli. Under his stunned gaze, she pulled out the small coffin and smacked it onto his forehead.
Feng Yuli hurriedly held the little girl who had climbed onto him, the small coffin on his forehead, looking at her in bewilderment: “Yuanman, what’s wrong?”
Nan Yuanman didn’t look at him, seriously staring at the changes on his body with her small face. After pressing the small coffin to his forehead, Feng Yuli’s fortune returned, his destiny gradually restoring to its original state, the three yang fires recovering, and his pale face improving a lot.
But she didn’t sense any yin energy or grievance clinging to Feng Yuli’s body.
What was going on? Why had Feng Yuli’s destiny suddenly changed, and where had his fortune just flowed to?
A thought suddenly flashed through Nan Yuanman’s mind: what Grandpa had said last night about the formation that stole Bai Wenyin’s fortune and merit. Her heart sank slightly—could those people have targeted the Feng family members again?
