Chapter 380: Bow! Bow to Me!
So his in-law, Yu Donghai, was Yin Donghai!
When he thought of Yin Donghai, those memories related to him surged into Sheng Lingfeng’s mind like a tide.
Sheng Lingfeng had known Yin Donghai since he was a child, but Yin Donghai was only Yin Mingjue’s follower. As the young master of the Sheng family, Sheng Lingfeng wasn’t close to Yin Donghai. They were only acquaintances.
However, after seeing him many times, he had some impression of Yin Donghai.
In his memories, Yin Donghai was a silent man. He always followed behind Prime Master Yin Mingjue silently, but every time Prime Master Yin Mingjue felt uncomfortable or injured, that fellow would be the first to take care of him.
He was a loyal servant.
“I knew that his face looked a little familiar. So he’s Yin Donghai! But I remember that Yin Donghai doesn’t look like this.” In his memories, Yin Donghai was clearly more handsome than he was now. That fellow actually had a handsome appearance.
Sheng Xiao chuckled and told his father, “He has changed his face.” However, changing his face could only change his skin. It was difficult to change his facial structure. That was why Sheng Lingfeng felt a sense of deja vu the first time he saw Yu Donghai.
Sheng Lingfeng was enlightened. “I see.”
After knowing that Yu Huang was actually the daughter of his old friend, Sheng Lingfeng found it unbelievable. He said, “I really didn’t expect you to be alive. Your uncle has been searching for you. Since you’re alive, why didn’t you take the initiative to look for him?”
Yu Huang asked very implicitly, “Dad, do you think my uncle is trustworthy?”
Sheng Lingfeng recalled Yin Mingchong’s actions and instantly understood Yu Huang’s difficulties in hiding her identity.
“Your uncle is a good person on the surface, but he’s not worth befriending. Back then, the matter of you being stolen was also very fishy. You were right to hide your identity.”
“Yeah.”
“Tomorrow is the monthly meeting of the Beast Tamer Alliance. Your uncle will be participating too. When the time comes, I’ll tell him about it. What do you think?”
If Yu Huang could really obtain the inheritance in the Saint Tomb, then her true identity would naturally be exposed. It was a good idea to spread the news in advance to scare him.
“It’s all up to you.”
Sheng Lingfeng nodded and suddenly looked forward to the meeting tomorrow.
After the meal, Sheng Lingfeng felt much better.
There was hope of his wife coming back. His daughter-in-law was the daughter of his old friend. When the two happy events were added together, Sheng Lingfeng’s frown disappeared and he quickly ate.
After the meal, he went to settle the matters in the clan.
After he left, Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang, “You suddenly revealed your identity to my father. It shocked me.” Yu Huang’s identity was Yu Huang’s biggest secret. Sheng Xiao thought that she wouldn’t reveal it in advance.
Yu Huang used the public chopsticks to pluck a lotus root slice from the bottom of the spicy pot. She placed it in Sheng Xiao’s bowl and replied, “He’s my father too.”
Sheng Xiao was stunned.
Then, after understanding Yu Huang’s words, he secretly held Yu Huang’s hand under the table.
Yu Huang tilted her head and smiled at him. She asked, “Why are you grabbing my hand?”
Sheng Xiao didn’t just want to grab her hand. He asked Yu Huang, “Do you want to take a nap today?”
In fact, Yu Huang didn’t have the habit of taking an afternoon nap. She would rather go to the martial arts arena to practice with the servants during her lunch break. However, it was obvious that the ‘afternoon nap’ Sheng Xiao was talking about wasn’t just lying on the bed and sleeping.
Yu Huang stared at the black mole beside Sheng Xiao’s Adam’s apple. Her body felt hot.
She picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip. Then, she took her hand out of Sheng Xiao’s palm and stood up. “I’m going for a walk. Text me when you want to take a nap.”
Sheng Xiao smiled. “Okay.”
Yu Huang left the residence. When she was taking a walk in the back mountain, she met Sheng Yang. Sheng Yang was wearing a shirt and leather pants. There was a small bamboo basket hanging at her waist, and she was standing on a tree while picking cherries.
There was a large cherry forest on the back mountain of Yufu City. The cherries were ripe in May, and it was a good season to pluck them.
The people of the Sheng family who lived in Yufu City weren’t all Beast Tamers. There were also many ordinary people.
Some of the villagers went out to do business, but there were also some who chose to stay in Yufu City and be ordinary farmers to help the Sheng family do what they could.
Every year, after the green plums ripened, they would pick the green plums and sell them as yo-yos and sour plums. They would also help Madam Sheng brew wine and make it into the Sheng family’s own brand.
Now that the cherries were ripe, these people gathered at the back of the mountain to pick the cherries. When the time came, they would transport them to the supermarket to sell.
When they saw Yu Huang, these clansmen greeted her warmly.
“Young Madam!”
“Young Madam, you’re here to pick cherries too.”
Yu Huang nodded. “Yes, are the cherries sweet this year?”
“It’s sweet.”
A peasant woman threw a bunch of cherries to Yu Huang. Yu Huang reached out and grabbed two cherries to taste. The taste was sweet and sour. Yu Huang jumped onto the tree Sheng Yang was on and plucked them with her. She ate as she plucked.
She even took out her phone and took a photo of the delicious cherry before posting it on Weibo.
Yu Huang V: “The cherries are ripe. I’ll choose five lucky fans to give a basket of cherries to.”
Seeing that Yu Huang had updated her Weibo, the fans were so excited that they were about to beat their drums to celebrate. Soon, the comments under her Weibo broke through to 30,000.
Sheng Xiao sent Yu Huang a message. “Come back and take a nap.”
Yu Huang said, “Come over and help.”
Sheng Xiao came to the back of the mountain unwillingly. He didn’t get to sleep during the afternoon. He even helped Yu Huang pick five baskets of cherries. In the afternoon, Caro Zhengyang came to the Sheng family as a guest under the excuse of paying respects to his old friend.
Sheng Lingfeng called Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao over and accompanied Caro Zhengyang to the ancestral hall of the Sheng family.
The tablets of the elders of the Sheng family were all placed in the ancestral hall. Caro Zhengyang entered the ancestral hall and looked up at the names of his familiar old friends. He couldn’t help but sigh with sorrow. “I really didn’t expect that the brothers of the Sheng family would leave before me.”
Yu Huang didn’t hear sadness in his tone, but she could hear the smugness.
Caro Zhengyang raised the Soul Returning Incense and bowed to his old friend’s tablet. He inserted the incense into the altar and looked at the tablet again.
Realizing that a tablet was missing, Caro Zhengyang asked hesitantly, “Patriarch Sheng, why don’t I see Madam Sheng’s tablet?”
Sheng Lingfeng frowned.
The Sheng family didn’t put on airs. All the people of the Sheng family who had made great contributions to the Sheng family could enter the ancestral hall after they died.
The tablets of the past Patriarchs and Madams were also placed here.
Logically speaking, after Lan Yao passed away, the memorial tablet should indeed return to the ancestral hall.
But Lan Yao wasn’t dead yet.
Sheng Lingfeng asked Caro Zhengyang with a fake smile, “Mr. Caro, do you want to worship my wife?”
Caro Zhengyang smiled as he said, “I heard that Madam and Patriarch Sheng had a deep relationship. I’m very touched. Patriarch Sheng’s Beast Heart was shattered, but Madam actually took the initiative to sacrifice her Monster Core to help Patriarch Sheng condense his Beast Heart again. She even helped Patriarch Sheng successfully break through to the Prime Master Realm. Her actions are truly admirable. Since I’m here, I naturally have to offer her an incense stick.”
Although Caro Zhengyang sounded like he was complimenting Lan Yao’s nobility, he was actually rubbing salt on Sheng Lingfeng’s wound. He was reminding Sheng Lingfeng that his wife had died for him. The reason why he could break through to the Prime Master Realm was also because of his wife’s sacrifice.
When Sheng Lingfeng heard this, although he was angry, he felt guilty.
Yu Huang saw that Caro Zhengyang couldn’t hide the smugness in his eyes. She naturally couldn’t stand it anymore. She suddenly said, “Since Mr. Caro wants to worship my mother, then do so.”
With that, Yu Huang suddenly walked to Sheng Lingfeng’s side and took off the green snake that was wrapped around Sheng Lingfeng’s wrist. She placed the snake on the first row of the ancestral hall’s memorial tablet.
The little green snake raised its head and not knowing what she was doing, it looked at Yu Huang in confusion.
Yu Huang pointed at the snake and said to Caro Zhengyang, “Mr. Caro, because my mother sacrificed her Monster Core, her cultivation has dissipated and she has already returned to her original form. Mr. Caro, since you sincerely want to pay your respects, then pay your respects!”
After saying that, Yu Huang bowed respectfully to the little green snake and said to it, “Mother, the old man from the Caro Clan has heard about your deeds and wants to come and pay his respects to you. Please accept it.”
Then, Yu Huang took out three Soul Returning Incense from beside the table and lit them up. She handed them to Caro Zhengyang and said with a smile, “Sir, please pay your respects.”
Caro Zhengyang was speechless.
