Fake Daughter Is The Real Legend (Iris Sutton) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Heavy Rain

Not long after they unpacked, rain began pouring outside.

Rainy weather always made people drowsy.

Iris lay down for a nap and quickly drifted into an unusually deep sleep. She’d been constantly traveling these past few days. She really was exhausted.

When Ares knocked on her door, she didn’t wake up.

“Iris?”

After knocking twice with no answer, he worried something might have happened.

He pushed the door open.

It wasn’t locked.

The first thing he saw was…

An overwhelmingly pink princess bedroom.

The walls were covered with adorable cartoon stickers.

He froze for a second before shaking his head with a helpless laugh.

‘No wonder she didn’t want me seeing this.‘

In the center of the room sat an oversized cradle bed.

Curled up inside, Iris was sleeping peacefully, her breathing slow and even.

She trusted Jet Xu completely.

For once, she’d let down every ounce of her guard.

Even with all the noise outside, nothing had disturbed her sleep.

Ares quietly tucked the blanket around her before turning toward the desk nearby.

Above it hung a photo wall.

Countless pictures of Iris covered it.

Some had clearly been taken without her noticing.

Others were posed.

They were almost certainly all Jet Xu’s work.

It was the first time Ares had ever seen what she looked like as a child.

Little Iris looked quiet, obedient, and sweet.

She smiled often.

With a tiny herb basket on her back, she’d squat on the ground, carefully sorting medicinal plants with complete concentration.

As she grew older, the smiles gradually disappeared.

In their place came a sharpness…

A confidence and edge that hadn’t existed before.

Crash!

The rain outside suddenly intensified. Heavy drops slammed violently against the windows.

“Oh no! Iris-”

Jet Xu rushed upstairs in a panic after seeing the rain pouring so heavily that white mist had begun rising from the ground.

Then he spotted Ares.

“…Why are you in here?”

He immediately forgot what he’d been about to say.

The commotion woke Iris.

“What happened?”

“The rain’s too heavy!” Jet Xu said anxiously. “The Purple Rosea in the herb garden might be ruined!”

“And not just the Purple Rosea–there are plenty of other herbs out there too…”

The weather had been beautiful for so long.

No one had expected a storm this severe.

Iris rubbed her forehead to clear the lingering drowsiness before climbing out of bed.

“Do we have raincoats?”

Grandma Young couldn’t wait any longer.

Jet Xu produced two raincoats.

“One for each of us. If we hurry, we might still make it in time.” He glanced at Ares. “As for you… just stay inside.”

He knew exactly how capable Iris was.

He knew nothing about Ares.

Judging from his bearing alone, the young man obviously came from an extraordinary family.

If anything happened to him here, Jet Xu wouldn’t be able to answer for it.

Without saying a word, Iris took one raincoat…

And handed it directly to Ares.

Then, under Jet Xu’s stunned gaze, she took the remaining one from his hands.

“We’ll go. You stay here.”

Jet Xu was skilled enough himself.

But he was getting older.

She had no intention of letting him risk himself.

“But-”

Before he could finish, Ares had already put on the raincoat.

Iris nodded reassuringly at her master. “Don’t worry. He’s about as capable as I am.”

The two of them slung waterproof backpacks over their shoulders and headed for the door.

Just before leaving, Iris suddenly turned back.

“We’ll let ourselves in when we get back.”

“Don’t open the door.”

Jet Xu sighed helplessly. “I’m not an idiot. If you’re worried about your master, could you at least say it in a more reasonable way?”

“Be careful.”

“Come back safely.”

He watched the two figures disappear into the pouring rain before returning to the kitchen to make ginger soup.

“This weather is really strange…”

The downpour made the mountain paths almost impossible to walk.

Every step sank into thick mud.

Ares held Iris‘ hand tightly, afraid she’d slip.

“This way!”

Despite the rain and wind making it nearly impossible to keep her eyes open, her sense of direction never failed her.

After one quick glance around, she immediately found the path to the herb garden.

Moving quickly, they arrived within fifteen minutes.
