AMRWFA -Chapter 127 The Irritable Black Line

But sometimes it was just like this—it kept swaying right in front of you, swaying, swaying, swaying… It was practically provoking you!

What, huh?!

So what if you’ve got a protective talisman—do you really think I don’t dare bite you?!

The black line got angry and extended several more tendrils.

So what if I get bitten?

I can afford the loss!

A flash of golden light.

Another flash.

Another.

And another…

…

No one knew how many times it flashed. The provoked black line was on the verge of tears.

Waaah…

How can you eat so much?!

You’re still not full after all that?!

My legs!

My legs are going to disappear!

Meanwhile, Ruan Yaoyao kept glancing back at Yu Xiangqiao, looking enviously at the golden light flickering around her—one “bite” per flash. It made her extremely jealous.

Even Lin Zhihe, the bodyguard quietly following beside them, noticed those two words written all over her face.

Which made Lin Zhihe send a message in the group chat: “Is it possible that the golden light belongs to Aunt Xu?”

Yu Xiangqiao, who had been feeling smug: “?!”

Lin Zhihe: “Isn’t she the one who’s been burping constantly? Normally, who gets fuller the more they walk? Only people who’ve overeaten burp like that…”

Lin Zhihe: “What about you? Do you feel full?”

Yu Xiangqiao: “…”

So after all that pride, it was actually my mom protecting me?!

When Yu Xiangqiao looked at Ruan Yaoyao again, she suddenly felt like she couldn’t bear to look directly at her.

Mom, stop looking!

Stop looking!

That golden light is yours—the one who should be “jealous” is me!

Look at you—you’ve already started burping!

Burp—

【Why do I feel fuller the more I walk?】

【Forget it, I’m not walking anymore. This isn’t helping at all.】

Ruan Yaoyao stopped walking. When she turned her head, she was shocked to discover that the black line above the Xu family’s ancestral grave had shrunk by a huge margin?!

【Oh my goodness!】

【It’s shrunk way too much!】

【How much has the golden light on Xiangqiao eaten? It’s like a bottomless pit—how is it still not full?]

【Could it be a pig?】

Yu Xiangqiao: Mom… are you talking about yourself?

Ruan Yaoyao hesitated.

【Since the thing on Xiangqiao can eat so much, should I stay a bit longer and let it finish this thing off before leaving?】

【But I’m really full. I don’t want to keep walking.】

Hearing this, Yu Xiangqiao quickly said, “Mom, we’ve been walking for so long—I’m tired. Let’s rest for a bit.”

Don’t overstuff yourself!

We’re still counting on you to save us!

Ruan Yaoyao hesitated. “You’re really tired?”

“Mm-hmm! Very tired!” Yu Xiangqiao nodded.

“Alright then, let’s go rest in the car.”

【That thing isn’t going anywhere anyway. We can come back tomorrow.】

Yes, tomorrow works too!

Yu Xiangqiao stepped forward, supporting Ruan Yaoyao as they walked back to the car.

Once inside, the nanny reported how many meals Xu Lingxuan had eaten and how many diapers had been changed.

Seeing the little one sleeping soundly, a smile appeared on Ruan Yaoyao’s face.

【This little one is getting cuter and cuter!】

【She’ll definitely grow up to be a beauty!】

…

In the end, they didn’t eliminate the thing at the Xu family’s ancestral grave in a single day. It took several consecutive days before it was finally dealt with.

By the end, the black line was terrified just seeing them.

Aaaahhh!

Don’t come back!

If you come again, I’ll be finished!

The already emaciated black line screamed madly, but it couldn’t control its instinct—it simply couldn’t tolerate “food” swaying in front of it.

Every time Yu Xiangqiao made a round, it would shrink another circle.

A week later, the renovation of the Xu family’s ancestral grave was almost complete, and the black line was finally completely devoured by the golden light around Yu Xiangqiao.

With the final bite, the golden light thickened several times, almost taking on a solid form.

It detached from Yu Xiangqiao’s body and shot straight toward the ancestral grave. Right before Ruan Yaoyao’s widened eyes, it swallowed a black bead in one gulp.

Then its body became more solid. Amid a faint, gentle glow, it transformed—into a small golden snake about the size of a chopstick.

【It should be a little golden snake, right?】

【Golden, snake-shaped… there seems to be a small bump on its head, but I can’t tell if it’s a lump or a horn.】

【Smooth, crystal-clear… actually quite cute.】

【Wait—why is it flying toward me?!】

Ruan Yaoyao was shocked and instinctively wanted to run.

But the thing was clearly heading for her. She had only taken a single step when it drilled straight into her body.

When it appeared again, it was already inside her dantian.

Looking inward, Ruan Yaoyao’s eyes widened.

【Oh my god!】

【That scared me to death—I thought it was going to eat me.】

【Turns out it just changed nests!】

Yu Xiangqiao twitched the corner of her mouth.

Mom… is it possible that it just “went home”?

After all, now that it was full, staying with her no longer had any meaning, so it simply went back.

But what exactly was this “little golden snake” her mom mentioned?

Did it really exist?

Yu Xiangqiao felt a bit regretful that she couldn’t see it.

Others in the group chat felt the same after reading her messages: “Sigh… what a pity! We can’t see it!”

“Yeah, it’d be great if we could!”

“Did Aunt Xu say clearly—does it have one horn or two?”

Yu Xiangqiao: “Why? Is there a problem?”

Liang Shishi: “Is it possible… that it’s not a snake, but a dragon?”

Yu Xiangqiao: “A dragon?! You actually think it’s a dragon?!”

Liang Shishi: “Think about it—it started as golden light, it specifically counters those dark things, and its initial form resembles a snake. Doesn’t that sound a bit like something out of mythology? If that’s the case, why not be bold and assume it’s a young dragon, still in its juvenile stage?”

Everyone thought about it. That’s right—golden, snake-like, with horns—why couldn’t it be a dragon?

Maybe it really was a baby dragon, just newly born and too small, so it looked like a snake.

After all, aren’t there ancient legends of snakes evolving into jiao, and jiao transforming into dragons?

Even if it was just a snake, perhaps its future evolution would be into a dragon.

Yu Xiangqiao grew excited.

If that were the case, didn’t that mean she had once been possessed by a dragon?!

Hahaha!

Their ancestral grave must be emitting auspicious smoke!

She had actually been possessed by a dragon!

If their ancestors found out, they’d probably give her a whole separate page in the family genealogy!

Her husband, Xu Lianghan, poured cold water on her in the group chat: “Did you forget? The reason the black line targeted you was because your soul was unstable after being possessed before. Your sister-in-law was also possessed. If your ancestral grave is really emitting auspicious smoke, it’s a bit terrifying.”

Yu Xiangqiao: “…”

Can I still keep this husband?

Yu Xiangqiao: “@Husband, you’re just jealous of me!”

Xu Lianghan: “No, I’m just stating facts.”

Yu Xiangqiao: “Get lost—you can sleep on the couch from now on!”

Xu Lianghan: “Wife, I was wrong!”

…

Others in the group chat: “…”

Showing off your love gets you nowhere fast!

“Stop feeding us dog food—go away.”

“Take it back to your bed. No public displays of affection here.”

“Are we discussing serious matters or not?”

“Are we discussing serious matters or not?”

“Are we discussing serious matters or not?”
