Chapter 195 The Doting Mother-in-law, Mrs. Sheng, Is Serious
“Sheng Xiao, you are so naughty.”
Sheng Xiao felt that Yu Huang’s evaluation of him was quite refreshing. It was the first time in his life that someone said that he was naughty. He stared at the video. Yu Huang had turned over and buried her face in the pillow. The thought of Yu Huang lying on his bed and using the pillow he used made Sheng Xiao tantalized.
He sighed and thought to himself, ‘This is naughty?’ He was thinking about even worse things. “Forget it. Go to sleep.” Sheng Xiao frowned when he saw that Yu Huang was still wearing her mask. He said, “Don’t wear a mask when you sleep. Take it off.”
When she heard this, Yu Huang took off her mask on the spot and revealed her scarred face.
Sheng Xiao’s expression did not change. He said, “Sleep early. We can talk later.”
“Okay.”
After ending the video call, Yu Huang touched her face and suddenly sighed. Don’t let her catch that arsonist!
If she caught him, she would skin him alive!
Yu Huang gave Lin Jiansheng a call and explained the situation. After receiving Lin Jiansheng’s affirmation, Yu Huang finally fell asleep in peace.
At 6 pm, the bell on the top of the tower in the center of Yufu City rang three times before stopping
Yu Huang was awakened by the sound of the bell. She sat up, only to realize that she had slept all the way until dawn.
This was not normal.
Yu Huang quickly washed up before going downstairs.
Today, Yu Huang tied up her long hair, took off her Divine Realm Academy uniform, and changed into her own clothes.
She wore a white turtleneck sweater paired with a black motorcycle leather jacket. The black jeans hugged her slender legs tightly and she wore a pair of combat boots, making her look cool and valiant.
Yu Huang walked down the stairs. The servants were secretly sizing her up.
In the entire Yufu City, there was no one who did not know Yu Huang. Because Madam was Yu Huang’s number one loyal fan, every time a new movie was released, Madam would always purchase more than 20,000 tickets and invite everyone to watch Yu Huang’s movie.
As time passed, even those old-fashioned and pedantic seniors in the clan knew of Yu Huang.
Now that Yu Huang had become a couple with their young master, everyone was even more curious about her.
Yu Huang naturally noticed those servants peeping at her. She stood at the staircase and greeted them frankly, “Good morning, everyone.”
The servants all nodded and greeted Yu Huang. “Good morning, Miss Yu Huang.”
Mrs Sheng heard the noise and came over from the kitchen.
Seeing that Yu Huang had already woken up, he asked her, “Did you sleep well last night? I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to sleep, so I specially added a calming spirit herb to your room’s incense.” No wonder she slept all the way till daybreak last night.
Yu Huang felt warmed by Madam Sheng’s thoughtfulness. She nodded and smiled. “I slept very well. Thank you, Madam.”
“Are you calling me ‘Madam’?” Mrs Sheng seemed displeased with the way she addressed her and frowned.
When a beautiful woman like her frowned, people felt a sense of pity.
Yu Huang, not knowing how to address Madam Sheng, blinked.
She could not call her mother!
Seeing how helpless Yu Huang was, Mrs. Sheng couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I was just teasing you. You and Xiaoxiao are a couple, so don’t call me Madam.”
Mrs. Sheng approached Yu Huang and patted her hand. “Call me Auntie.”
Yu Huang heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she didn’t have to call her mother.
“Auntie.”
“Yes.” Madam Sheng led Yu Huang out of the hall. As they walked, she said, “The red elm fruit of the Yin Family will only ripen in two days. You can stay here for the next few days. I’ll get Yang Yang to accompany you and Na Luo on a tour of Fuxi City.” “Okay.”
Madam Sheng pulled Yu Huang into the dining hall.
Seeing that Na Luo and Sheng Yang had already sat down in the dining room, Yu Huang also walked over and sat down.
Seeing that none of them had touched their chopsticks, Mrs. Sheng guessed that they were waiting for Sheng Lingfeng. Hence, she told them, “Mr. Yang has something to attend to. Let’s eat first.”
SO
Everyone started eating.
Sheng Yang held a walnut bun in her hand. She placed the bun in the hot sauce and took a bite of it before asking Madam Sheng, “Where did Father go?”
“The Cong Lang Mystic Realm is about to appear. Your father and the others will need to select a number of outstanding disciples to represent the Sheng Clan to go to the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.”
“Cong Lang Mystic Realm?” Sheng Yang took another bite of steamed bun with spicy sauce before saying, “Is it the Cong Lang Mystic Realm that only appears once every 15 years?”
“Yeah.”
“Then can I participate?” Mrs Sheng said, “According to the rules, only disciples who are over 18 years old are allowed to participate in the competition. Your school also has 100 slots. If you want to participate in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm’s competition, try your best to get into the top 100 of the list.” Sheng Yang was instantly discouraged. “Forget it then. I’ll wait for the next time.” There were many experts in the Divine Realm Academy. Sheng Yang was not confident that she could enter the top 100.
At this moment, Yu Huang who’d been eating quietly by the side suddenly said, “I intend to go as well.”
Without hesitation, Mrs. Sheng turned to Yu Huang and said, “If you want to go, I can ask Uncle Sheng to give you a spot.” Yu Huang was her daughter-in-law, so she had to take care of Yu Huang first.
Yu Huang quickly shook her head and rejected Madam Sheng’s good intentions. “I appreciate your kind intentions, but I’m not a member of the Sheng family. It’s really inappropriate for me to do this. It’s also unfair to the members of the Sheng family.”
Having been rejected, Mrs Sheng looked at Yu Huang with an even more tender gaze, and her heart ached even more. Sheng Yang asked Yu Huang, “So, are you planning to enter the top 100 of the expert rankings?”
“Yeah.”
Sheng Yang gave Yu Huang a thumbs up. “You can do it. I have faith in you.” Madam Sheng picked up a steamed dumpling for Yu Huang and said lovingly, “Eat more. You’ll have more energy to cultivate after you’re full.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
Mrs. Sheng then picked up a steamed bun for both Na Luo and Sheng Yang. “You guys should eat more too. Try to pass the exam.” “Alright, Mother!” “Thank you, ma’ am.”
When Na Luo saw Sheng Yang eating the steamed bun and dipping it in the spicy sauce, she stared at the steamed bun in her bowl and asked Sheng Yang curiously, “Is that chili really that delicious?”
Sheng Yang quickly nodded. “It’s super delicious!”
Na Luo couldn’t resist the temptation. “I’ll try it,” she said. Na Luo dipped the small bun in the spicy sauce dish, then took a careful bite
Na Luo’s face suddenly turned red. “Oh my God, it’s so spicy!” The tip of Na Luo’s tongue and her throat was burning. Even her words seemed to be slurred.
“Water!” Na Luo coughed as she shouted for water.
Sheng Yang quickly took a glass and poured a glass of cold water for Na Luo. Na Luo still felt that it was spicy after taking a sip. Sheng Yang said, “Keep it in your mouth and spit it out later.”
Na Luo did as she was told.
Na Luo couldn’t stand the spiciness anymore, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably. Sheng Yang stared at Na Luo’s tears and was disappointed to see that her tears wouldn’t turn into pearls.
Sheng Yang said to Mrs. Sheng, “Mother, you said that the tears of merpeople will turn into pearls. Look, Na Luo’s tears are not pearls.”
Mrs Sheng said calmly, “That’s a lie. Only children believe it.”
Yu Huang looked at the mother-daughter pair and could not help but wonder how they would interact if her mother was by her side.
After the meal, Sheng Yang brought the two of them around. When they reached a small col, Sheng Yang told Yu Huang, “That’s where my brother cultivated when he was young.”
When she heard this, Yu Huang spread her wings and flew down the small col. After looking around, Yu Huang noticed that there were a lot of pebbles in the col. Sheng Xiao had painted them when he was resting.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Xiao’s graffiti works were mostly about the main characters of small animals and cartoons. She did not expect that he was also a fan of animation when he was young.
There was a small stream in the small cove. Sheng Yang said, “There are small crabs hidden under these rocks. Let’s find them.”
“Sure!”
The three of them moved rocks in the stream to look for crabs. There were indeed small crabs. However, these small crabs were not big and did not have any meat to eat, so they just carried them and played.
Just as she was playing, a servant came looking for her. “Young Miss, Supremacy Lin from the Purifying Spirit Academy’s branch is here. The Patriarch has invited Miss Yu Huang over.” Mentor was here?
“Then let’s go.”
The three of them returned to the Sheng family home together. The moment Yu Huang stepped into the Sheng family’s residence, she heard Lin Jiansheng’s hearty laughter. She walked around the Lunar Cave Gate and walked in. She saw Lin Jiansheng and Sheng Lingfeng sitting together in the courtyard, playing chess on the wooden armchair.
Lin Jiansheng held a red chess piece while Sheng Lingfeng held a black chess piece. From the few pieces left on the chessboard, it seemed like Lin Jiansheng had won.
Sheng Lingfeng had been forced into a corner. In the end, his king was swallowed by Lin Jiansheng with a horse.
Lin Jiansheng held the jade pendant in his hand and cupped his fists at Sheng Lingfeng. “Mr. Sheng, thank you for letting me win!”
Sheng Lingfeng smiled and said, “Supremacy Lin’s chess skills have improved. When you were in school, you and Donghai…” Sheng Lingfeng opened his mouth and recalled that Yin Donghai had disappeared for many years without any news. He immediately realized that he had said something wrong and stopped halfway.
Lin Jiansheng smiled bitterly and put down the chess piece in his hand. He shook his head and sighed. “Twenty years have passed. I wonder if Yin Donghai is still alive. I wonder if he has found that child.”
Sheng Lingfeng was also a bit disappointed and frustrated. He said, “I hope that child is still alive. I hope the Yin Clan can find that child as soon as possible. The Prime Master can rest in peace then.” Lin Jiansheng asked indirectly, “Has the Yin family been looking for that child all these years?”
Sheng Lingfeng said, “I don’t think they will be able to find her after all these years. If they could, they would have found it long ago. They can only leave it to fate.” “Oh…” Lin Jiansheng saw Yu Huang walk in from the corner of his eye and stopped the topic.” My disciple is here.”
Sheng Lingfeng stood up and so did Lin Jiansheng.
Yu Huang walked up to the two of them and bowed to Sheng Lingfeng. “Uncle Sheng.” Then, she bowed to Lin Jiansheng before looking up and pursing her lips into a smile at Lin Jiansheng. She then walked over and hugged Lin Jiansheng’s arm. She was unable to conceal her joy. “Mentor, you’ve come to see
me!”
Lin Jiansheng patted Yu Huang’s head. “You’re already an adult, yet you’re still acting like a kid. Aren’t you embarrassed?” Although he said that, the smile on Lin Jiansheng’s face did not fade.
