Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 225 Aftermath of the Transmigration Mission

When they arrived at the foot of Tianyi Temple, Yunyi looked at the three little rascals and felt a bit conflicted. She couldn't help but glance at Hongyi and say, "Hongyi, do you think I was too kind?"

"Huh?" Hong was taken aback, not quite understanding the meaning of those words. "Isn't Miss always known for hating evil?"

"I mean, am I taking in people a little too fast?" Yun Yi rubbed her forehead. It was a side effect of traversing three thousand minor worlds. Relying on her increasing abilities, she wanted to pick up any weak people she saw.

If you find a good person, consider it a helping hand; if you find a bad person, consider it a trial.

But here, her abilities aren't great enough to allow her to do whatever she wants. However, she can't shake her soft-heartedness.

“That’s true.” Hong nodded. “The people you’ve taken in are more than the people in the village.”

Yunyi's lips twitched. Although it was a bit of an exaggeration, it seemed to make sense.

“Why don’t you rebuild a village and become the village chief yourself?” Hongyi suggested.

Yunyi shook her head: "That's unnecessary. I never thought about becoming the village chief." She's already the gang leader; there's no need for so many titles.

"Then let's work hard to expand Xiajia Village." Hong Yi suddenly waved his fist.

Yunyi chuckled: "That's a good idea."

“However, I have to remind you of something,” Hong Yi suddenly said seriously.

"You said."

"No matter how many people you pick up, it can't affect my position. Apart from He Miao, the position of the number one maid must be mine."

"Ah Hong," Yunyi put her arm around Hongyi's shoulder, "why are you so fixated on being a senior maid?"

“Then shouldn’t I, as a maid, strive to rise in rank? I can’t become a young lady, so I can only be the number one maid,” Hongyi replied earnestly.

“Ah Hong, you must know that people can always change, such as crossing social classes?”

“Young Miss, please stop. I’m your maid now. Although I’m a slave, I’m doing quite well. The only way you can cross social classes is by getting married, but which of the men in good families doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? With my fiery temper, how could I possibly be thinking about drugging this person or pricking that person every day? So, even if I get married, I’ll definitely marry a guard or something. Wouldn’t I still be a maid? But by then, I guess no one will call me a maid anymore. They’ll call me the head maid.”

Phew!

Yunyi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Ah Hong, I've noticed that your brain is also quite extraordinary."

"Absolutely," Hong nodded. "Otherwise, how can she be a head maid?"

"Hehe." Yunyi patted Hongyi's head. "Don't worry, the position of my number one maid will definitely be you, it has to be you."

"You can't go back on your word."

"Do I need to write you a guarantee?"

"That would be perfect." Hong Yi's eyes lit up.

Yunyi's lips twitched, but she didn't disappoint. Instead, she actually took out paper and a homemade charcoal pencil from her backpack and wrote a guarantee.

"I guarantee that the position of the number one maid by my side will belong to Ah Hong without a doubt." Hong Yi read the paper aloud, then looked at Yun Yi's signature, and stuffed it into her purse with satisfaction. "If you go back on your word later, I'll take this to sue you for lying."

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word, unless you betray me."

"Pah, who are you looking down on?" Hong glared at him. "I'm a woman of the martial world, I'm all about loyalty. How could I possibly betray my master? You can't just label me like that."

"Okay, I was wrong." Yunyi quickly raised her hands in surrender. "My Ah Hong is the most loyal maid."

“That’s more like it.” Hong Yi raised an eyebrow smugly. “But now we have three calves and two horses. How are we going to manage them?”

"I'll have two, you can have one."

"Fine, I'll take two and you can take one." Hong Yi said, lifting Lin Zi and Youyou up and putting them on the horse's back. "You two better behave yourselves, or you'll die if you fall off."

The two boys nodded vigorously.

Yunyi then threw Shi'an onto the horse as well.

Shi An hurriedly grabbed the saddle.

"You can hold me."

Shi An's face immediately turned red: "My mother said that men and women should not touch each other. I am already seven years old. If she is not my wife, I cannot hug her."

Yunyi was surprised for a moment, then smiled and ruffled his hair: "You know quite a few rules, huh? Alright, how about this?" She then turned Shi An around and tied him to her back with a ribbon. "Is this okay?"

"Mm." Shi An nodded.

And so, the two of them took the three children back to the inn in the county town, booked another room, and asked for hot water for the three children to wash up and change their clothes. It must be said that the three children were all quite good-looking, especially Youyou, who, although only five years old, was already showing signs of becoming a beauty.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Yunyi asked Hongyi to stay and take care of the three children while she prepared to go to that village.

"How can you do it yourself?"

“How am I alone? Don’t forget, I have many friends.” Yunyi waved her hand. “Besides, it’s inconvenient to take them with me, and I’m not comfortable leaving them here alone. So, you can hire a carriage to send them back to the village first thing tomorrow morning.”

“Alright.” Hong nodded. “Then I’ll drop them off and come back to you immediately, or you can have the prince send someone to deliver them, and I’ll go with you.”

“No need. That village is very strange. It might involve formations like the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. Bringing you along would just be a burden.” Yunyi shook her head. She was just going to take a look and didn’t intend to do anything. She didn’t need to call on too many people.

Hong Yi: ...

In the end, they had no choice but to compromise.

While things were bustling at Tianyi Temple, nothing happened at the inn all night. The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Hongyi took the three children and left the county town to return to Xiajia Village, while Yunyi went to the vicinity of Tianyi Temple again.

Shiba had been waiting in the woods, and when he saw Yunyi from afar, he rushed over.

Yunyi dismounted, patted Xiaobai, and let it wander around on its own. Then it climbed back onto the big rock from before, where the daytime view would be better and it would be easier to observe.

After imprinting the entire village in her mind, Yunyi took out her things to change her makeup and even changed her clothes. When she looked at herself again, she was a complete village girl, completely different from before. Even if Hong Yi came over, she might not be able to recognize her.

After getting off the big rock, Yunyi slowly walked down. When she reached the vicinity of the village, she was so tired that she sat down by the roadside to rest for a while before getting up to enter the village.
