Chapter 1232 Magical Gloves

"You old man!"

Grandma Xiao was angry and helpless, "You are still stubborn with me, right?"

"Are you a child?"

"I'm already quite old."

"Still so willful."

……

Grandma Xiao was muttering to herself.

Xiao's father and mother stood aside. They felt a little sympathy for Grandpa Xiao who was being scolded, but like Xiao's grandmother, they did not agree with Grandpa Xiao's approach.

But when the old man becomes stubborn, it really makes people feel helpless.

Xiao Xiao gave a soothing smile to the Frog God who seemed a little uneasy.

This matter is not its responsibility.

It’s just my grandfather’s insistence.

But isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?
Xiao Xiao frowned and thought.

Then, he really thought of something.

"Grandpa, please wait for me."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao turned around and walked quickly into the house.

The remaining few people looked at each other, with the same look of confusion and puzzlement on their faces.

However, Grandpa Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when Grandma Xiao stopped muttering.

This old woman's nagging made his head hurt.

……

Xiao Xiao came back soon.

Everyone stared at Xiao Xiao who was walking towards them, and looked at him carefully, but found that this child was no different from before, and they couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.

Did the child go back to the toilet?
"Xiaoxiao, you..."

Xiao's mother stopped talking halfway through her question.

She saw Xiao Xiao raised his right hand, with his five fingers spread out, revealing what was inside...

"Gloves?"

Grandma Xiao exclaimed in surprise, with a look of confusion on her face.

This kid... why did he bring a pair of gloves for no apparent reason?
Although, it is a very nice pair of gloves.

Grandma Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

The gloves in my grandson's hands seemed to be cut from a whole piece of snow satin by a highly skilled tailor. There was almost no stitch and no trace of sewing.

She couldn't help but take the gloves, and was surprised by the touch of her fingers.

Just like the appearance gives the impression of high-quality materials.

Without rubbing them, just holding them in her hands, Grandma Xiao was amazed at the silky and delicate texture of the gloves.

Xiao's father and mother gathered around, clicking their tongues.

Although Grandpa Xiao was still sitting on the stone bench without moving, his eyes kept looking at the gloves in Grandma Xiao's hand.

……

After a while, Grandma Xiao handed the gloves to Xiao's mother and asked her to take them in her hands and take a closer look.

She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, this pair of gloves is very expensive, right?"

"Fortunately."

Xiao Xiao gave a vague answer.

This is his trophy.

To be precise, he asked the fox demon to make gloves using the fire-resistant cloth he obtained as a spoil of war.

It cannot be measured by price.

In terms of value, it is naturally a rare treasure.

……

Grandma Xiao didn't care about her grandson's unclear answer. She was more concerned about another question. "But weren't we trying to persuade your grandfather to go back to the house to play chess?"

"Why did you suddenly go back and get these gloves?"

If she didn't know her grandson's temper, she would have thought that her grandson suddenly remembered that he had this pair of gloves, so he brought them to them to "show off".

There is nothing wrong with this in itself.

But doing it now... seems a bit weird.

……

"Grandma, try it on and see."

Xiao Xiao smiled somewhat mysteriously.

Grandma Xiao was even more confused.

However, out of trust in her grandson, Grandma Xiao did not say anything, but took the gloves handed to her by Xiao's mother and put them on.

"One is enough, right?"

she confirmed.

"Well, just one will do."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

……

After just a few breaths, Grandma Xiao touched her gloved right hand with her left hand, with an incredible look on her face.

"Hey, old lady, what's the matter with you?"

The change in Grandma Xiao's expression made Grandpa Xiao extremely curious.

"mom?"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xiao's mother and father couldn't help but ask.

……

"……Amazing."

Grandma Xiao murmured.

"What's so magical?"

"Please explain it clearly!"

"Old lady, can you please stop keeping me in suspense?"

Grandpa Xiao became more and more curious.

Grandma Xiao handed the other glove to Grandpa Xiao, "You'll know when you put it on."

Grandpa Xiao didn't waste any time and just reached out to take the gloves and put them on.

Soon, he understood why Grandma Xiao was surprised.

Because he was also surprised at this moment.

"These gloves... why are they hot?!"

"hot?!"

Xiao's father and mother exclaimed in surprise.

"Does it mean that it is very warm?"

Xiao's mother reacted immediately.

"It's very warm...but..."

Grandpa Xiao didn't know how to express his feelings for a moment, so he took off his gloves and said, "You'll know after you try them on."

Grandma Xiao also took off her gloves and handed them to Father Xiao.

Father and Mother Xiao looked at each other and put on gloves.

Then they understood what the two old men meant.

Wearing such thin gloves feels like holding a hot pack in your hands.

The warmth spread throughout my body.

This effect...isn't it a bit too good?

……

"Xiao Xiao, what are these gloves made of?"

Mother Xiao looked carefully at the material of the gloves.

But I didn't see what it was all about.

It's not knitted wool, it's not leather, and there's no fleece inside the gloves.

The only thing that is certain is that the warmth-retaining effect of the gloves definitely comes from the material itself.

But what material has such a magical effect?
"Fireproof cloth."

Xiao Xiao's answer stunned Xiao's father and others who were frowning in thought.

"Fireproof cloth?"

"What kind of cloth is that?"

"Why have you never heard of it?"

"Do you still have this kind of fabric?"

"It sounds like a warm cloth."

"Yes, Huohuan, Huohuan, cloth related to fire, isn't it for keeping warm?"

……

The Xiao family members were talking about it, with expressions of confusion and understanding mixed on their faces.

However, it is obvious that the feeling of doubt is deeper.

……

"grandfather."

After everyone's discussion came to an end, Xiao Xiao spoke up, "These gloves are very warm."

"Wear it while you play chess, and your hands won't get cold."

"Hey, how can that be possible?"

Grandpa Xiao subconsciously refused, "I've never heard of playing chess with gloves on."

"What does it look like?"

"No."

"Try it first."

Xiao Xiao did not rush to refute his grandfather's words.

"What's there to try?"

Although he muttered this, Grandpa Xiao still put on the glove on his right hand.

At Xiao Xiao's signal, he reached for the chess piece and said, "Wearing gloves, the chess pieces are..."

Grandpa Xiao was stunned.

His mouth opened, but the sound stopped abruptly.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Grandpa, these gloves won't affect the touch of your hands."

“Is it like not wearing gloves?”

Grandpa Xiao finally closed his mouth.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the gloves. After seeing the gloves being pulled up, he said in a somewhat unbelievable tone, "This glove... is too magical, right?"
