Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 531 Miao Holy Son x Miao Priest 4

Thinking of this, Gu Yao looked up and timidly replied, "Really?"

His face was full of hope, and he even licked his lips at just the right moment, as if he was extremely hungry.

The person holding his hand didn't even move their head. "It's true. I'll have someone send some mushrooms over tonight."

My stomach rumbled at just the right moment.

Gu Yao's expression froze, revealing a genuine sense of helplessness.

Shen Juan then turned her head to look, and seeing the child's embarrassed appearance, she finally smiled.

Now it doesn't look so fake anymore.

He remained calm, but raised an eyebrow. "Hungry?"

The child's face instantly turned bright red. He nodded stammeringly, then quickly waved his hands, denying it incoherently.

"No no."

Then came another long string of gurgling sounds.

Gu Yao fell completely silent, his head almost buried in his crotch.

Shen Juan didn't expose him, and just then walked to the front of the courtyard.

He pulled the person into the courtyard and took a still-warm steamed bun from the steamer.

"Eat."

Gu Yao lowered his head and took the steamed bun from Shen Juan's hand.

He wanted to keep up the facade, but he was too hungry.

These steamed buns smell so good!

It was still steaming hot.

He couldn't remember the last time he had eaten a proper meal.

When he finished eating a bun that was bigger than his face, he was still a little unsatisfied.

Shen Juan stared at the child in front of her with surprise.

So edible.

They must be starving.

What a poor little thing.

Seeing the child glancing at the steamer basket every now and then, Shen Juan knew that Gu Yao hadn't eaten enough.

He smiled and lightly tapped his head with his finger.

"There's only one left, don't eat too much, it'll be time for dinner soon."

Although he had his own selfish motives, he did not have a habit of abusing children.

Looking at Gu Yao, he could always think of his own past.

Those were the days of homelessness when we were starving and had no clothes to wear.

Without a home, he was just as pitiful, like a lapdog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

Shen Juan's eyes darkened, and he patted Gu Yao's head.

But this child is different.

He will make him the most honored person in this Miao region.

He became the first Holy Son in a century.

Everything Shen Juan did afterward was in pursuit of this goal.

Watching the child bury his face in the bowl, which was bigger than his face, and shovel rice into his mouth like a starving ghost, Shen Juan was afraid that he would stuff himself to death.

He reached out and picked up a piece of chicken for the person.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Perhaps heeding Shen Juan's words, the child slowed down considerably.

By the time Gu Yao put down his bowl, he was already quite full.

We should have stopped earlier, but the food was just too delicious.

His past survival experience taught him to eat as much as he could while there was food, because who knew when the next meal would come?

He didn't want to be so embarrassed.

Gu Yao felt a little hot in the face. He raised his hand to wipe his mouth with his sleeve, but a hand reached out from the side first, gently brushing his lips with a soft touch, making his heart tremble.

He then realized that this young priest was so handsome, more handsome than anyone he had ever seen.

Her skin was fair and delicate, and her fox-like eyes were upturned. They should have had a seductive quality, but it was suppressed by her cold temperament.

Her nose was straight and high, and even her lips were pink. Up close, there were only a few faint lip lines, which looked wonderful...

Realizing what she was thinking, Gu Yao blushed secretly for a moment.

With focused attention, he carefully wiped the delicate little face clean, but when he put the handkerchief away, he noticed the child was still staring at him.

"what happened?"

Gu Yao hurriedly looked away, his face instantly turning bright red. He stood up abruptly, the movement so large that he almost knocked over the stack of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

He quickly admitted his mistake, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'll go wash the dishes."

Before Shen Juan could say anything, she saw the child hurriedly leave with the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Shen Juan chuckled as she watched his anxious and flustered back.

What a kid.

The biggest topic of conversation in the village recently has been the selection of the holy son and daughter of the West Village, which was discovered by the priest. This year, an extra child will be needed to fill the vacancy.

Because of this incident, the elders of the main village held several meetings.

Every time someone was sent to invite Shen Juan, Shen Juan would refuse to see them.

This is the fifth time this month.

Gu Yao heard the knocking at the door, looked up at the priest who was pouring medicinal herbs into the bathtub, and hesitated before speaking.

Shen Juan didn't even lift her eyelids, but simply poured the prepared medicinal herbs into the bathtub. "Don't meddle in things that are not for children. Just continue soaking as you did a few days ago."

Gu Yao quickly lowered his head, mumbled a reply, and obediently climbed onto the stool and into the bathtub.

A subtle, tingling sensation crept up his limbs and bones once more, as if a million insects were crawling through every bone. The feeling was even more intense than in the past few days. Gu Yao immediately broke out in a cold sweat and tried to reach out to grab the insects that seemed to be hiding in his bones, but a voice came from his side:

"If you can't even endure this, how can you become a holy son?"

The child paused, gritted his teeth, and placed his hand on the edge of the bathtub.

Shen Juan watched coldly, quite satisfied.

He did not tie the man's hands and feet.

If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, then you won't be able to even take a trip to the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, let alone beat your competitors.

After all, apart from Xizhai who got in through connections, the children selected from each village were the most talented.

The weaker ones can control poisons even at a young age.

The stronger ones might even have had their own Gu worms cultivated from childhood.

Although the selection process is extremely risky, once you are chosen, it's like your whole family and friends are lifted up by your success.

That village will receive decades of resource support from the entire Miao region.

In the competition among villages, this is undoubtedly a great help.

The reason why the current main village is called the main village is because the previous holy maiden came from here.

Shen Juan stood aside and observed for a while. Seeing that Gu Yao did not make any self-harming moves, she pushed open the door and left.

Having already refused so many times, I have no choice but to attend this council of elders today.
