[Quick Transmigration] Where is the Morality Chapter 170 (Part 2)
Shameless Martial Uncle! Chapter 12 (Part 2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Xing Shaoyan, thinking like this, felt incredibly happy. He completely disregarded the fact that he was actually 12 years older than her. He strolled back slowly and tossed a few copper coins to the beggars at the roadside. You should know that he typically never gave alms. A child playing in the alley was frightened and cried again at his strange smile. The vegetable vendor hurriedly carried his burden and moved away. He smiled so retardedly, he was afraid he was mentally disordered.
Before getting close to the courtyard, Xing Shaoyan noticed Xia Ruyan conversing with a young man at the door with sharp eyes. He narrowed his gaze and immediately used qinggong to dash over.
"Yan’er, why are you just standing at the door?"
Xia Ruyan was startled by the sudden voice. She patted her chest and complained: “Martial uncle, why did you sneak up behind me? Are you trying to scare me to death?”
Xing Shaoyan didn’t respond but instead shot a sharp look at the young man. The other man, intimidated by his stare, shrank back and said to Xia Ruyan: “Then I’d like to trouble you, Miss Xia.”
“No problem. Please wait, I’ll fetch them for you.”
Xia Ruyan turned and went into the courtyard, with Xing Shaoyan quickly following her inside and closing the door behind him. He immediately asked, “Who is that guy? What’s going on?”
“Oh, he’s from the family at the end of the alley. He said they don’t have enough bowls and plates for their guests, so he came to borrow some for his mother.”
As Xia Ruyan walked to the kitchen, she was about to get the bowls and plates from the cupboard when Xing Shaoyan had already taken them out one step ahead. He piled the bowls and plates together, and his mouth began to sound like a broken record: “Don’t open the door casually in the future. What if it’s a bad person? When you look at his eyes, they seem erratic. Most of the time, he’s just looking for an excuse to trick you into opening the door. If I hadn’t come back in time, he might have had some bad ideas...”
Xia Ruyan was so annoyed listening to him that she glared at him: “Then who is a good person in your eyes? Everyone has evil intentions; only you are the best?”
She initially said this to retort to Xing Shaoyan, but unexpectedly, he puffed out his chest and replied proudly: “That’s natural. Nowadays, the world is getting worse. There aren’t many upright people like me. Girl, let me tell you, when you go out, aside from me, you’d better be a bit wary of everyone.”
Xia Ruyan hehe twice. The one she should be most wary of was him, okay? This person was really unaware of himself. She didn’t want to engage in pointless banter with him anymore. Instead, she reached out, grabbed his arm, and nudged him outside as she urged: “I know, I know, Martial Uncle, hurry up and deliver it to him; he’s waiting outside.”
Except when she was angry, it was the first time she had taken the initiative to touch Xing Shaoyan. The man was pushed away by her and felt light and fluttering all over. The girl’s small hand was on his arm. Although there was a layer of clothing between them, it felt to him as though she were really touching him. Xing Shaoyan was stunned, the strength in his hands loosened, causing the bowls and plates to immediately fall to the ground with a clatter and smash into pieces.
Xia Ruyan: “...”
Xing Shaoyan: “...”
“Cough, my hands slipped, my hands slipped.” Xing Shaoyan touched his nose and said embarrassingly, “I’ll grab a few more.”
He pulled out a stack of bowls and plates from the cupboard again. This time, he didn’t linger and handed them to the man unscathed. The man thanked him repeatedly. Xing Shaoyan scanned him up and down and scoffed, “Kid, let me tell you. She is my wife who hasn’t crossed the threshold yet. Let your females come to return it when you get the chance. Do you hear me?”
The man was startled. He had just heard Miss Xia refer to this person as Martial Uncle. How could she suddenly become his unmarried wife in the blink of an eye?
Seeing he still didn’t answer, Xing Shaoyan glared at him and yelled: “Did you hear me?!”
“Ah! I heard it, I heard it. T-thank you, big brother. I’ll ask my mother to send it back later.” The man was yelled at, quickly replied, quivering.
Xing Shaoyan looked at his departing back with satisfaction. The kid was quite understanding. With him around, no other flies or mosquitoes were going to even think about approaching his little martial niece, humph.
As soon as he returned to the kitchen, Xing Shaoyan saw Xia Ruyan sweeping the broken porcelain off the floor with a broom and dustpan. He quickly grabbed them and said: “What are you doing? Leave this to me. Go rest for a bit.”
Xia Ruyan had originally wanted to clean it up while she was at it, but seeing him like this, she didn’t argue. She leaned against the kitchen door and watched him sweep the floor. The man who was over six feet tall, bent over to clean, and somehow, it didn’t seem out of place at all. Xia Ruyan looked at him with softened eyes. Although she had initially disliked Xing Shaoyan, he had taken great care of her these past few days. She had intentionally made things difficult for him, yet he hadn’t gotten angry. Xia Ruyan felt she might need to reassess her view of him. Even though he liked to force her to eat unpalatable medicinal food and didn’t care much about saving face, in every other way, she had nothing to complain about. It was rare for a martial uncle to care for his martial niece like this. Maybe she could consider not getting rid of him after she recovered? If she went to Tongshan Sect with him, at least she wouldn’t have to worry about food and accommodation along the way.

Xing Shaoyan: So it turned out you just used me as an old mother...
Xia Ruyan: Otherwise, what do you want me to use for?
Xing Shaoyan (blushing): C-can I warm the bed?
Xia Ruyan: Get out of here!!!!
