    My niece is a genius

    A month had passed since Bai Xue was reborn.

    She had become accustomed to life in this world, not requiring much adjustment, as she had previously lived in the mountains and faced hardships greater than those here.

    Due to her body's recent recovery, she lacked the strength to practice martial arts as others in this place do. Thus, she had not ventured out this past month, dedicating her time to memorizing every herb book available and practicing medicine under Bai Ling's guidance.

    Now, she had become a 'Mid-level Medicine User'.

    Bai Xue's progress was so rapid that Bai Ling laughed uncontrollably again, repeatedly exclaiming his niece's genius. Bai Xue could only watch her grandfather with confusion, realizing that his condition wasn't due to illness; he was simply overwhelmed with joy.

    But if Bai Ling was happy, Bai Xue was happy too.

    "What did you bring, sister-in-law?"

    While reading a book, Bai Xue noticed Jiu Ying passing by with something unfamiliar and asked out of curiosity.

    "This is a demon beast's core,"

    Jiu Ying answered, showing Bai Xue the core that looked like a shiny glass rod and added.

    "A low-level demon beast’s core sells for ten copper coins."

    "Are you going to sell it?" Bai Xue inquired further.

    "Yes, I plan to sell it in Weha City," Jiu Ying replied, placing all the demon beast’s cores back into the basket.

    "I will come with you."

    "Hmm? You want to come too?" Jiu Ying was surprised since Bai Xue had been focusing solely on herbs and medicine with Bai Ling since her recovery, not engaging in anything else, which worried Bai San.

    "Yes, can I come?" Bai Xue confirmed and asked back upon seeing Jiu Ying's surprised expression.

    "You can come, but don't you need to practice medicine?"

    "I'll take a break today."

    "..."

    "I'm afraid that if you go to the city alone, some men might flirt with you."​​Seeing that Jiu Ying became quiet and did not reply, Bai Xue then spoke nonsense, causing Jiu Ying's face to instantly turn red. She also shot a resentful glance at Bai Xue.

    "Bai Xue, you!" Jiu Ying glared at her little friend. She was married and had two children; how could there be a man flirting with her? Bai Xue was talking nonsense.

    "I'm not going there alone. Your brother is also going," Jiu Ying hurriedly offered further explanation, fearing that Bai Xue would talk nonsense again.

    "My brother is actually very possessive of you," Bai Xue nodded as if she understood this matter completely, which only made Jiu Ying's face turn even redder than before.

    "Eh! Bai Xue, I'm going to be angry with you!"

    "I am just a child. Why are you angry with me?"

    Bai Xue smiled slightly. Being able to tease her shy sister-in-law was perhaps one of her joys. Before Jiu Ying could retaliate, Bai Tian suddenly ran up and interrupted.

    When Bai Tian learned that Bai Xue would also be traveling to the city, he jumped around excitedly, quickly took Bai Xue by the hand, and led her to the carriage without paying any attention to his mother.

    "Auntie! Are you going to enter the city with us?" Bai Lan asked loudly when she saw Bai Xue walking with Bai Tian. She and her father were waiting for Bai Tian to find his mother. They didn't think that Bai Tian would bring Bai Xue with him like this.

    The twins love their aunt very much. Due to Bai Xue traveling with them, both were very pleased.

    "Yes, I will go too," Bai Xue nodded.

    "Good! I'll take Auntie to buy some jewelry!"

    "Nonsense, I'll take Auntie to look at the weapons," Bai Tian disagreed. He was the one taking Auntie along. Why did Bai Lan come and snatch Auntie away like this?

    "You're silly, Auntie is a lady. Why would she need to buy weapons?" Bai Lan looked at her twin brother with dissatisfaction.

    "Why buy useless jewelry that wastes coins? It's best to buy weapons."

    "You..."

    "Enough, I'll go to both shops with you."

    After listening to the two children argue enough, Bai Xue was the one to stop them from arguing further. Then she turned to her brother, who looked tired from dealing with his children but still very happy.

    "Let's go; I want to explore the city now," Bai Xue smiled at Bai San and said.

    "I really do appreciate you, Xue Er. Just one sentence and you've stopped the two mischief-makers from fighting," Bai San complimented his sister before affectionately stroking her hair.

    "Otherwise, how could Grandpa call me a genius, right?"

    "Ha ha, indeed!" The tall man laughed happily at his sister's words.

    Bai San also agreed that Bai Xue was indeed a genius. She had only just awakened but had already trained to become a mid-level medicine user. If others knew about this, they would surely call her a genius as well.

    "I think you're the only one who praises yourself like this," Jiu Ying, who had followed behind, couldn't help but speak up and shake her head. Even though it was true, she had never seen a lady speak so confidently about herself.

    "Or would you like me to praise you instead, sister-in-law?" Bai Xue turned to Jiu Ying with a cheerful smile.

    "Enough, Xue Er! You're really..." The sister-in-law could only stamp her foot in frustration before quickly hopping onto the carriage, conceding that her wit wasn't a match for her young companion. Therefore, knowing she was beaten, Jiu Ying chose not to argue further.

    "Then, let's go," Bai San smiled and followed onto the carriage.

    For Bai San, since his sister's return, all the worries he had were greatly alleviated. Grandpa became more lively, his wife found her companion back, and even his children loved and listened to their aunt well.

    Therefore, Bai San thought Bai Xue's return was indeed a precious gift to his family​​.
