Chapter 1028: Sister-in-law
Li Shaoyun leaned over and gently touched her forehead. The corners of his lips were cold, which made Jing Yunzhao’s face seem a little warm.
Not too far away, Xu Yuanze and Xu Yuancheng saw this scene. One of them frowned, while the other looked furious, as if they wanted to kill someone.
Li Shaoyun smiled as if he couldn’t feel their hostility.
Originally, he had wanted to prepare a ring for the coming-of-age ceremony. According to his grandfather’s wishes, he could propose and get engaged at the same time. In the future, the Li family would have a successor faster. However, in his opinion, it was not the time yet. Ah Zhao had only acknowledged half of his ancestors. His matter was not urgent. Of course, seeing how touched she was in front of him, he knew that his abstinence days would not last long.
“Oh right, you can keep this too.”Li Shaoyun raised his hand and dropped a balloon from the air. There was a cloth bag hanging from the balloon and he stuffed it into Jing Yunzhao’s hand.
” Flower seeds?” Jing Yunzhao opened it and looked at it.”
“That’s right. This Night Emperor is very rare. I almost killed off that flower on this trip. En…So…” Li Shaoyun grinned wickedly.
Jing Yunzhao opened her mouth in shock.
” Are the local residents willing to do so?” Jing Yunzhao did not know what to say when she saw the scene.
” This is the reward for us brothers. Although this flower is beautiful, the conditions for reproduction are harsh, so it’s not suitable for sale. The local situation is relatively poor, and the people are controlled by an organization that worships evil spirits. Our previous mission was to clean up that organization. After the mission was completed, they insisted on worshipping us as gods. After I refused, I simply asked the Night Emperor as a repayment to let them feel at ease.”
“I see. No wonder you can get so many rare species at once.”Jing Yunzhao glanced at him and said deliberately,””But if you become a god in their eyes, won’t the benefits be even greater?”
“That place is very poor. The local people still use leaves to cover their bodies. When they see the things flying in the sky, they are so scared that they prostrate on the ground. I wanted them to allow the young people in the tribe to go to other places to see the world and find a way to survive, but they refused.”Li Shaoyun said disdainfully and snorted, looking very proud.
” So, you brought the flower back just because it’s more valuable?” Jing Yunzhao was speechless.”
“I wanted to give this flower to you the moment I saw it. If I couldn’t take it openly, I would have used force to suppress it and swept it away. Unlike now, I even left a few for them as a souvenir.”Li Shaoyun said without restraint.
Jing Yunzhao blushed. How many did he leave? He really had the nerve to say that.
However, this flower was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, giving her the illusion that she was living in a dream.
While the two were chatting, six more people fell from the sky along the rope. They were the six brothers who had risked their lives with Li Shaoyun.
After a long time, the last flower petal fell from the sky. However, the entire Xu family looked red. Xiao Haiqing and the others were stepping on the red flower petals as if they were having a snowball fight. They were extremely excited.
“Sister-in-law! Happy birthday!” Qi Zhong and the others said politely.
Jing Yunzhao’s mouth twitched when she heard the loud voice. She turned to look at her uncles.
First Uncle rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache. Second Uncle stared at Li Shaoyun with a dark face. If she wasn’t there, he would probably come up and hit her.
“Thank you.” Jing Yunzhao licked her lips and thanked them in embarrassment.
Although they had met before, Jing Yunzhao did not observe them closely. This time, she took the opportunity to take a closer look at them.
