Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

"Mom, I want to try it too."

"Don't even think about it. Look at how much fat you've gained recently, and you still want to eat!" Cao Liyun said mercilessly.

Since graduation, Li Xiaoyu's life has become lazy. Day after day, she eats and sleeps in a cycle, and her weight has quietly increased.

"Ah!" Li Xiaoyu screamed and jumped off the magic scale. She couldn't believe the number displayed on it. "How is it possible?"

Reluctantly, she took off her magic slippers, magic bracelet, and anything that might affect the weight, but the number on the scale remained the same.

Cao Liyun sneered, "If you live like this, day and night, it would be strange if you don't gain weight!"

Li Li couldn't help laughing. Aunt and Sister Xiaoyu are really an interesting mother-daughter duo.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Li Xiaoyu paced anxiously in the living room, like a butterfly under a spell. "I still need to go play with Brother Haofan! How can I meet him like this?"

Cao Liyun stopped stirring the magic herbs in her hand and asked in confusion, "What do you want to do with Haofan? He has to work for the kingdom, how can he have time to play with you?"

"Oh, don't worry about it. I've already made a deal with Brother Haofan. Besides, I'm going to study at the Magic Academy in Lancheng anyway, so I'll just treat this as an advance visit to the school."

When Li Li heard Li Haofan's name, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Cao Liyun frowned: "Your brother Haofan is now in the Grand Mage Group and has a lot of work to do. Don't cause him trouble."

Li Li retorted: "It's not that exaggerated."

"I know, I don't need you to remind me."

Li Dajun interrupted: "Then let Xiaoyu go back to Lancheng with us and play for a few more days."

"That won't work. She's a little troublemaker. You don't have the time to take care of her."

Li Xiaoyu said angrily: "Mom! You said bad things about me again!"

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"I won't talk to you anymore!" Li Xiaoyu paced back and forth, "No, no, I have to lose weight first!"

"Lose weight? Enjoy this delicious meal first." Cao Liyun brought a big bowl of magic boiled fish. She knew Li Li liked it, so she went to the lake early in the morning to buy fresh fish from the fisherman.

The fish caught in the lake has a hint of sweetness without any fishy smell. The boiled fish tastes delicious, with a mixture of numbness, spiciness and fragrance. It makes people sweat profusely but can't stop eating.

"Li Xiaoyu, why are you just focusing on eating?" Cao Liyun couldn't help but smile bitterly as she watched her daughter eating. She was just shouting about losing weight, but now she has completely forgotten about it?

"What?" Li Xiaoyu looked up at her mother and realized what was going on. She wiped her mouth hastily and raised her drink cup to Li Li. She said in a rare serious tone, "Li Li, thank you so much. If you hadn't helped me sort out the key points and difficulties of my studies, I might not have been able to enter this magic academy. So, you deserve half of the credit for this achievement. I respect you!"

In the mysterious Lanze City, Li Li raised her glass and whispered, "Sister Xiaoyu, you really deserve this. Your hard work has made this possible. Congratulations."

That's true. Li Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with tears. In order to enter this magic academy, she had paid a huge price. Although her magic power has been restored, the scars are still there...

Cao Liyun sighed, "Who can interpret this child's decision? She could have chosen a higher-ranked college, but she insisted on choosing Lanze, just because it is closer to home."

Li Xiaoyu's eyes flickered, "That's how it is."

Li Li chewed a piece of magic fish meat, lowered her head, and raised a thoughtful smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you let Xiaoyu come to our house and live for a while? This way she can relax freely in Jiangjian."

Cao Liyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

Before Li Xiaoyu could get excited, she added, "But you are not allowed to cause trouble to uncle and the others, otherwise, you will see how I will teach you a lesson when I get home."

"Don't worry, I know!" Li Xiaoyu agreed readily.

"Come, continue to enjoy the delicious food!" Li Daguo put the dishes into the bowls of Li Li and her brother.

"Thank you, uncle."

Li Li and her family spent two very peaceful days in Xiushui Town. Before leaving, Li Li came to the memorial tablet of her adoptive mother alone.

"Mom, we are all doing well. Dad's magic restaurant is doing a booming business and recently opened a new branch. Xiaoting is also adapting well to the magic academy."

"As for me, I am also very happy. I have made many close friends who are very kind to me." She paused for a moment, "There is also a special person. Maybe next time, I will bring him to see you."

The wild geese have all left the mountaintop, and the birds are flying and chirping, as if resonating with her heart. The woman on the stone tablet still has a warm smile, staring at her quietly.

Li Xiaoyu followed Li Li's family back to Lanze City with full joy.

Li Dajun said kindly: "Xiaoyu, this room is yours, just like your own home. If you need anything, just tell your uncle."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

The magic shop reopened after being closed for two days, and the old business is still managed by Qing Lian and her daughter.

"Lili, take these to the old store." Li Dajun brought out two bowls of red bean double skin milk. The bright red beans sprinkled on the white milk skin were mouth-watering.

The recent summer has been extremely hot, and although the store’s signature magic braised food is delicious, it can be greasy if eaten too much, so Li Dajun considered adding some cool and refreshing desserts.

Li Li and her family became little helpers in trying out new products. Today it was mango magic slush, and tomorrow it might be ginger milk jelly. There were new surprises every day.

Li Xiaoyu was eager to try, "Lili, I'll go with you too!"

She helped in the store, and although Li Dajun always let her go out to play, she knew that if she went home doing nothing, her mother would punish her severely.

"it is good."

The two girls walked towards the Yashe old store carrying double skin milk. Qing Yu hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and took the items.

“What delicious food did Uncle Li make today?” Every day is like opening an unknown magic gift box.

Li Li was about to answer.

Qing Lian took the lead: "Red bean double skin milk."

Li Li raised her eyebrows, and Qing Lian was puzzled: "Mom, how did you know?"

Qing Lian's body stiffened slightly, and she said calmly, "I asked your Uncle Li about the magic marinade this morning, and he told me. Otherwise, how would I know?"

"Hmm." Qing Yu didn't notice anything unusual.

However, Li Li felt something was wrong. The daily affairs of the old store were usually handled by Aunt Qinglian alone, so why did she ask her father today?

The three girls sat down to enjoy their food, chatting quietly.

"Huh? You also study at Blue Star College? What a coincidence, me too!" Li Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Qing Yu responded: "Yes, I am in the Department of Magical Economics, what about you?"

"I'm from the Department of Digital Witchcraft!" Li Xiaoyu didn't expect to meet classmates from the same school before school started.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you chose the Department of Digital Witchcraft not because..." Li Li winked at her. She just knew about Li Xiaoyu's choice of major and remembered that she had firmly stated that she wanted to study language magic.

"What are you talking about?" Li Xiaoyu seemed to be seen through, and felt a little guilty. "I just like digital witchcraft, what's the problem with that?"

"Of course, no problem." Li Li stopped teasing her and turned to Qing Yu and whispered, "Do you think Aunt Qing's reaction just now was a little strange?"

Qing Yu pursed his lips in doubt, "Really?"

"Yes!" Li Li said firmly.

Qing Yu decided, "I will ask my mother's opinion in private."

"Oh, don't!" Li Li hurriedly stopped him. How could he ask the woman first about such a thing? He would not embarrass Aunt Qing.

"I'd better ask my father what he thinks first."

“Okay.”

After dinner, Li Xiaoyu returned to her room mysteriously to make a phone call, while Li Ting, a primary school student who was about to start school, was busy completing his magic homework.

"Dad." Li Li called out to Li Dajun who was about to go wash up.

"Um?"

"Dad, let's talk. I haven't had a good talk with you for a long time."

"Okay." Li Dajun didn't think much and sat on the sofa.

Li Li stared at him, sorting out her thoughts, "Dad, what do you think of Aunt Qing?"

Li Dajun was stunned. "Didn't you ask this question before? She is a very good person, hardworking, determined, and considerate."

"If... I mean if." Li Li stared at her father closely, capturing every change in his expression, "What about from a man's perspective?"

“What do you mean…” Li Dajun paused and understood Li Li’s hint.

Li Dajun did not answer immediately. He was silent for a long time and said, "Aunt Qing is indeed an outstanding person. She raised Xiaoyu alone. I feel sorry for her, so I unconsciously care about her more. But to be honest, if you hadn't mentioned it, I might never have thought about it. Although my mother passed away for a long time, I never thought about finding a stepmother for Xiaoting and me, I was afraid that..."

"What if you don't consider Xiaoting and me?"

Li Dajun sighed, "How could I not consider you two?"

"Dad, what I mean is..." Li Li took her father's hand, "You shouldn't just live for Xiaoting and me, you should also plan for yourself. Aunt Qing is a very good person, we all like her very much. If you really, really want to be with her, we will definitely support you without any worries. I'm serious, you want Xiaoting and I to be happy, and we also want you to be happy!"

Li Li's words were full of sincerity. Li Dajun understood his daughter's wish and was silent for a moment.

“Let me think about it.”

"Father, I won't be going to the store today. I have made an appointment to spend time with my friends." Li Xiaoyu reported to Li Dajun while enjoying the magic breakfast, his words full of anticipation.

"It's time to enjoy yourself." Li Dajun said with concern, "If you need anything, just ask me. When you go out with friends, you can try some delicious food."

Li Xiaoyu declined politely, "No need, uncle, I have enough gold coins."

"Okay, be careful when you travel. If you have any problem, remember to come to me, or you can tell Lili." Li Dajun felt a little disappointed because Li Li had never asked him for gold coins for support. He knew that Li Li's income from magic was much higher than his, but he still longed for the sense of accomplishment of giving pocket money to his children.
