Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: The Three Magic Phrases of a Married Man! (3rd update)

After a good laugh, Xue An asked, ”What about Hu Ying and the girls, Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian?”

”Hu Ying has recently become obsessed with a game, she’s having the time of her life playing it in the Magic Treasures Pavilion! Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian are studying; I’ve set a rule that they must read for at least an hour each day. Later, I’ll have to check. If they don’t pass, they’re not allowed any snacks for the day!”

”An hour, won’t that be too hard on them?” Xue An felt sorry for his daughters.

”Too hard? One hour?” An Yan widened her eyes, ”Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian are already seven years old! At this age, they would have been in kindergarten on Earth by now! I’m just making them read a bit more, otherwise, are they supposed to play all day?”

What followed was a thorough scolding from An Yan, mostly about how Xue An was spoiling the two girls rotten.

Xue An had heard these words so much lately that his ears were nearly calloused, but he didn’t dare not listen. He just kept a smile on his face, nodding frequently, and from time to time, he even had to express his agreement.

”That’s right! What the wife says is right! I know my mistake!”

Under the magic of this married man’s three-phrases charm, An Yan’s scolding continued for a full five minutes before coming to an end.

Then An Yan crossed her arms, somewhat angrily, ”It infuriates me, the more I talk about it!”

Xue An chuckled, ”Okay, okay, I know you’re doing this for the girls’ sake. But they’re not like other kids; they’ll have nearly limitless time to learn in the future, so I just wanted to make their childhood a bit more cheerful!”

”Pah! Even with limitless time, it shouldn’t be wasted. Didn’t we all come from the same beginnings? If we really leave them be, and they grow up without any perseverance, wouldn’t that be terrible?”

An Yan’s words sobered up Xue An.

He really hadn’t thought about these things.

And, thinking it over, he realized An Yan made a lot of sense.

If childhood was just endless playtime, that might not be such a good thing either!

Only with moderation could a person’s character be cultivated.

”Yan’er, I understand. I’ll pay attention to this from now on!” Xue An said sincerely.

An Yan’s mood shifted from anger to joy, and then suddenly, she remembered something, ”Hubby, I saw it all in the Magic Treasures Pavilion; that Miss Zhuo is so pitiful! Even her own family bullies her, do you want to help her?”

As she spoke, An Yan’s eyes began to redden.

Xue An knew that An Yan was moved by the situation; she saw her own past in Zhuo Yangyang and held her tenderly in his arms.

”There, there, of course, I’ll help her. Otherwise, why would I have followed her back?”

”So how do you plan to help? Are you going to beat up all those bullies who are mistreating her?” An Yan asked.

Xue An shook his head, then gently stroked An Yan’s long hair, ”Yan’er, although most things in this world can be solved with fists, there are still many people and issues that can’t be, like this one...”

”If I stand up for Miss Zhuo, even though I could let her vent her anger momentarily, she’ll never be able to step out of this shadow for the rest of her life!”

An Yan nodded, understanding the sentiment better than anyone.

Wasn’t that what the An Family went through?

And she herself had taken a long time to walk out of that shadow!

Not to mention, Zhuo Yangyang’s situation was even more perilous than her own past.

”So what do you plan to do, hubby?”

Xue An smiled slightly, ”Of course, I plan to... just mix it up!”

No sooner had he spoken than Xue An felt a sharp pain on his shoulder. Looking down, he saw that An Yan, annoyed that he wasn’t speaking seriously, had bitten his shoulder.

Xue An winced in pain, ”Yan’er, it hurts! Let go quickly!”

”Hmph! Now you know how formidable I am! See if you dare to slick talk me again!” An Yan said with a face full of pride.

Xue An, rubbing his shoulder, said with a smile, ”I dare not! But you have to let me bite back!”

With that, Xue An also bit An Yan on the mouth.

”Um...” An Yan’s eyes instantly widened.

Cough cough.

Five minutes later.

An Yan, her face flushed, looked at Xue An, ”Pah, you big hooligan!”

Xue An licked his lips, resembling a big bad wolf that had just sneaked a snack.

”Seriously, though, how exactly do you plan to help Miss Zhuo?” An Yan asked again.

Xue An chuckled, ”Actually, I haven’t thought it through yet, I’ll just play it by ear. But, ’it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish,’ she should understand this principle!”

An Yan nodded her head.

At this point, Xue An’s face again crossed with a mischievous grin, ”Yan’er, you—”

Before he could finish his sentence, An Yan jumped up from the ground as if electrocuted and said somewhat flusteredly, ”Oh my, the hour is up, I must hurry and check Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian’s homework!”

Saying this, and without waiting for Xue An to react, An Yan had already darted into the Magic Treasures Pavilion.

Xue An stood in place, watching the fleeing An Yan with a bit of a stunned expression, then shook his head with a laugh-tear, ”Yan’er, why are you running so fast, are you afraid I’m going to eat you or something?”

”Hmph! You guessed right!” An Yan’s voice came from inside the pavilion, followed by her extremely smug declaration.

”Silly husband, come and catch me if you can, ha ha ha!”

Xue An shook his head with a slight sigh, ”Alas, it’s so tough! It looks like I can only ask those maids to tend to me for a bit!”

”You wouldn’t dare!” As soon as the words fell, An Yan shouted back furiously.

”How would you know if I dare or not if you don’t let me try?” Xue An said with a twinkle in his eye.

”Humph, if you dare, do you believe I’ll cut it off?” An Yan’s voice suddenly became chilling.

Xue An naturally looked up at the window, sighing lightly, ”The moon is really beautiful tonight!”

Outside the window, however, it was a bright and sunny day.

Watching Xue An instantly cower, An Yan nodded in satisfaction and turned to head to the second floor of the pavilion to check on Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian’s homework.

But on her way, she took a detour to check on Hu Ying and Xiao Yu, who were playing video games in a corner room.

The moment she opened the door, she heard a cacophony of ghostly wails and howls.

”Ahhh, I’m scared to death, so scared!” Xiao Yu screamed, white as a sheet, but even so, her eyes remained glued to the terrifying scenes on the computer screen.

Beside her, on another computer, Hu Ying scoffed with disdain, ”Iron Griddle, could you keep it down? Just look at the rise and fall of your screams over a game!”

”I’m not Iron Griddle!” Xiao Yu, though frightened stiff by the horror game, still remembered to retort.

”Give it a rest, little Xiao Yu, you’re a disgrace to the Demon Race with this kind of scare. You’d be best suited to cook teppanyaki!”
