CHAPTER 223: CHAPTER 223 ORIGINAL SIN 32

But even if they’re not good people, it doesn’t matter. Yun Shuangshuang is not afraid. During her time recuperating with her mom in the south, she didn’t just rest. Every year, apart from the two months spent earning money, Yun Shuangshuang was learning martial arts at a martial school.

Going out with just the two women for company, without any Combat Power for protection, Yun Shuangshuang couldn’t feel at ease. She used to be too busy running for her life and earning money to find time, but now that she had some, it was natural for her to learn martial arts.

Initially, the principal of that martial arts school didn’t want to accept Yun Shuangshuang, being at her age, and bringing her mom along to audit classes. According to the principal, Yun Shuangshuang was already too old, and her bones were set, making it impossible to learn anything significant.

Nevertheless, Yun Shuangshuang persisted, and was willing to spend money, so the principal accepted her for the money. Little did he know, as soon as she started learning, he discovered Yun Shuangshuang was simply born to learn martial arts. Her learning speed was incredibly fast, and because Yun Shuangshuang was willing to endure hardships, the principal repeatedly lamented that such a martial arts prodigy had been wasted. If only Yun Shuangshuang could have started learning martial arts from childhood, he might not have been able to beat her in the future.

Anyway, by the time Yun Shuangshuang left the martial arts school, she could easily take down seven or eight strong men with some skills all by herself! Otherwise, Yun Shuangshuang wouldn’t have had such a big courage to bring Feng Jinyan along and live alone in an almost uninhabited mountain.

It’s worth knowing that although the scenery around Red Dust is extremely beautiful, it’s far from any populated village. It’s not like there haven’t been hooligans with bad intentions who come at night, but they all ended up getting a good beating from Yun Shuangshuang and were then reported to the police because there are cameras installed in every nook and cranny of Red Dust, capturing all these troublemaking hooligans, leaving them no room to deny.

After sending three groups of hooligans with bad intentions to the police station after a good beating, no one dared to come to Red Dust to suffer anymore. Since one group of hooligans had driven over at night before, Lin Shuangshuang suspected that the sound of a car she heard at night might not be from good people.

Yun Shuangshuang felt a bit annoyed in her heart, she casually picked up a beautiful lantern and said to Feng Jinyan, "Mom, I’ll go see what’s going on, you stay here and don’t go over."

As she walked, Yun Shuangshuang was inwardly determined, if there really were people causing trouble this time, she would definitely break these hooligans’ hands and feet before reporting them to the police.

But after walking a few steps, Yun Shuangshuang stopped and put the lantern down. She planned to take off the ancient costume she was wearing, to avoid getting entangled while fighting. But just as she untied the ribbon of her wide-sleeve outer garment, she heard someone outside say, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

Accompanying the question was a few knocks on the door. Yun Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow, these hooligans were quite polite! Then she realized, no, this voice was clearly an elderly woman, was this really a client coming in the middle of the night?

Since it was a guest, that meant money! Yun Shuangshuang immediately felt happy inside, she retied her wide-sleeve outer garment, picked up the lantern and went to the door, peeking through the peephole to see outside. Sure enough, it was an old lady, a man in his thirties wearing a suit, and a seven or eight-year-old boy. Yun Shuangshuang frowned, this child was too thin! Like he had just come out of a refugee camp!

But no matter what, these three people were definitely not bad people, they looked more like a family of three generations. As for why they came to her place, Yun Shuangshuang didn’t care, as long as they weren’t bad people.

Outside the door, holding her little grandson Qiangqiang, and waiting with the driver, Professor Zhang felt a bit nervous. She had high hopes for Red Dust, hoping it could help with her grandson’s anorexia, but was also anxious that this trip might leave her disappointed!

In such a mood of expectation and anxiety, the two antique wooden doors in front opened, and inside was a magnificent scene like another world.

The room, antique yet grand like a luxurious palace, was filled with lanterns of various styles! These lanterns occupied every corner of the room, and under the colorful lights, the room was beautiful and dreamy. The spacious room was completely empty, yet it strangely had a stunning sense of grandeur!

Amidst this magnificent scene, a beauty with wide-sleeve robes and a head full of jewels stood at the door, holding a delicate lantern, as if she had left the modern world and entered a flourishing ancient dynasty!

Even the well-traveled Professor Zhang was momentarily lost due to the room’s unique decor. The driver, originally a little grumpy about working late at night to bring the boss’s mother and son out to play, was also looking at the scene in front of him with a face of shock.

Seeing the two people at the door showing faces of shock, Yun Shuangshuang felt very proud in her heart. The painstakingly created beautiful scenery was indeed worth it, and she could imagine how bustling her Red Dust would be in the future when it became crowded with tourists!

"Pretty sister, is this the Immortal Palace? Are you a fairy?" Qiangqiang looked at the scene and Yun Shuangshuang in ancient costume with wide eyes full of wonder.

To be honest, Qiangqiang’s appearance wasn’t cute, he was very thin, thin to the point of being a little scary. But he had a pair of particularly beautiful eyes, shiny and black as if they could speak, filled with curiosity, expectation, and a bit of shyness as he looked at Yun Shuangshuang, somehow hitting Yun Shuangshuang’s adorable spot.

Yun Shuangshuang squatted down slightly, smiling, "Yes, this is my palace, and I’m the fairy here. I came out on purpose because I sensed an adorable little golden boy was coming to visit!"

"Really!" Qiangqiang’s big black eyes instantly became particularly bright as he looked at Yun Shuangshuang. Yun Shuangshuang smiled and nodded, "Of course it’s true, fairies don’t lie!"

Seeing Qiangqiang’s eyes wandering around the various lanterns, clearly looking very fond, Yun Shuangshuang stood up, casually plucked a cute little rabbit lantern, and handed it to Qiangqiang, "Here, it’s for you!"

Yun Shuangshuang noticed that Qiangqiang’s eyes lingered the longest on the little rabbit lantern. Sure enough, once she took down the lantern, Qiangqiang’s eyes were fixed on it. When Yun Shuangshuang handed it to him, Qiangqiang carefully received it with thin, chicken-claw-like hands.

"Little brother, would you like to come into sister’s palace to have a look? In the palace, there’s also sister’s mother, and she’s very beautiful. Do you want to go in and see?" Yun Shuangshuang tempted Qiangqiang.

Qiangqiang hesitated for a moment but then nodded. Yun Shuangshuang stepped back, slightly raised her hand to invite Qiangqiang in. Qiangqiang’s hands couldn’t help but grip the lantern tightly, and his tiny thin legs lifted several times before timidly stepping over the low threshold into Red Dust.
