Xiao Jingting looked at the flower houses along the street, his heart filled with a sense of familiarity.
The original owner really was a lustful ghost; what he was most familiar with in the entire town were those various flower houses.
Xu Mu’an looked at Xiao Jingting’s expression and said, “Are you alright?”
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “I’m fine, I’m fine.” It was just some “feelings stirred by the scene.” That guy, the original owner, spent all his time in flower houses from such a young age, yet surprisingly didn’t end up impotent. It must be said that people in this realm truly have remarkably strong physical constitution.
“We’re almost there!” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Mu’an nodded and said, “Yes!”
At the entrance of the Xiao residence, Xiao Yuerong was lazily yawning.
“Why aren’t they here yet! How long do we have to wait!” Xiao Yuerong hugged Zheng Pei’er’s arm, shook it, and said coquettishly.
Zheng Pei’er frowned somewhat helplessly and said, “Mother isn’t very clear about when they’ll arrive either!”
Xiao Yuerong said with full distress, “Rongrong is so tired!”
Wang Lu turned around, looked at Xiao Yuerong, and said somewhat heartachingly, “If Rongrong is tired, go rest first.”
Xiao Yuerong blinked his bright black eyes and said with an obedient and sensible expression, “Second Uncle and Third Uncle rarely come back, so Rongrong will wait a bit longer.”
Wang Lu looked at Xiao Yuerong’s obedient appearance, and a few traces of tender light flashed in his eyes.
Zheng Pei’er secretly looked at Xiao Yuerong with appreciation.
Xiao Qingyan frowned and said somewhat displeasedly, “Second Brother and Third Brother really! Didn’t they say they’d arrive at chen hour? Now it’s almost wu hour. When did they become so dragging and delaying, making Father and Mother wait so long.”
Wang Lu sighed lightly and said, “They might have been delayed on the road. The journey is quite distant, so some delay is normal.”
…………
A flood dragon horse carriage approached from the distance.
“They’re here.” Xiao Linfeng’s voice was calm, but his light tone still vaguely revealed his good mood.
The flood dragon horse carriage approached from far to near, quickly driving up to them.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Jinfeng leaped down from it. Seeing Xiao Jinfeng, Xiao Linfeng’s pupils contracted slightly, and he made a light sound of surprise.
Xiao Jinfeng hadn’t used any qi-concealing technique, so Xiao Linfeng could see through Xiao Jinfeng’s level at a glance.
Wang Lu looked at Xiao Jinfeng with complete surprise and said, “How is this possible, fifth layer already.”
Hearing his parents’ surprise and doubt, Xiao Qingyan’s expression immediately tensed up, his eyes full of scrutiny as they swept over Xiao Jinfeng.
Sensing the spiritual energy from Xiao Jinfeng that was no less than his own, Xiao Qingyan was full of astonishment. Xiao Jinfeng had actually reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining as well. Xiao Qingyan felt as if he’d been heavily punched. He had always been proud of being a fifth-layer Qi Refining cultivator, only to discover that his disagreeable brother had also reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining. His feelings were very complex.
After Xiao Jinfeng got off the carriage, he turned around and extended his hand toward the person in the carriage. Mu Shuyu handed the child to Xiao Jinfeng and got off the carriage.
Seeing Mu Shuyu, Xiao Linfeng made another light sound of surprise.
Hearing his father’s sound of surprise, Xiao Qingyan’s gaze turned toward Mu Shuyu. Xiao Qingyan had met Mu Shuyu before and had even mocked him a few times back then. Xiao Qingyan was somewhat surprised to discover that Mu Shuyu had also reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining.
Seeing the strength of Xiao Jinfeng and Mu Shuyu, the people from the first, third, and fourth branches who had come out to watch the excitement all had complex expressions.
Xiao Jinfeng, holding the child, walked up to Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu and said indifferently, “Father, Mother, I’ve returned. This is my wife, Mu Shuyu.”
Being pulled along by Xiao Jinfeng, Mu Shuyu somewhat nervously bowed to Xiao Linfeng and said, “Greetings, Father. Greetings, Mother.”
Xiao Linfeng looked at Mu Shuyu, smiled, and glanced at Xiao Jinfeng with full appreciation, saying, “Good eye.”
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, “Shuyu is very good.”
Xiao Hefeng looked at the baby in Xiao Jinfeng’s arms and said, “Jinfeng! This is a son!”
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, “Yes, this is mine and Shuyu’s son.”
“Jinfeng, you sure were fast! You already have a child – must be about two months old, right?” Xiao Hefeng said.
Xiao Jinfeng looked at the infant in swaddling clothes and said, “Yes!”
Xiao Jinfeng understood very clearly that Xiao Hefeng was implying that he already had a child with Mu Shuyu before dissolving his engagement with Sun Miaoyin. Xiao Jinfeng didn’t want to explain that it was an accident. Anyway, his reputation was already completely ruined, so he didn’t care if it got a bit worse.
Sun Miaoyin had already married someone else, so what was the point of bringing this up now?
Seeing everyone’s gaze on Xiao Jinfeng, filled with amazement and appreciation, Zheng Pei’er couldn’t help but feel several degrees more crisis in her heart.
“Why isn’t Third Brother coming out yet! After going out once, he’s become like a little wife, hiding and refusing to see people! We’re all family here, what’s there to be shy about!” Zheng Pei’er said with a laugh.
Xiao Jinfeng glanced at Zheng Pei’er, then looked toward the carriage where Xiao Jingting was located.
Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu : family patriarch and matriarch
Xiao Qingyan is the eldest son
Xiao Jinfeng is the second son
Xiao Jingting is the third son
Zheng Pei’er : Xiao Qingyan’s wife
Nothing makes sense anymore, lol. Please look closely at all the names and relationships during the first meeting when the grandparents are arriving.This is just all over the place.
The team has already re-edited the whole novel up to the latest published chapter, but since some members are on vacation, I’ve only been able to release 30 chapters so far. I’m slowly replacing them all, but for now I’m doing it alone. Sooo… maybe drop by again next week! 😄
At the moment, my main priority is the CFJWF novel, and once I’m done with that I’ll get back to updating all the SPMT chapters. That way, when you come back, you’ll be able to read the updated versions and share your thoughts.
Thanks a ton!!
Lol, good thing I saw your reply. I started re-reading the novel and made a lot of comments. Many will probably be useless then. I will follow your advise and re-red starting from chapter 31 next week then.
Or do you want me to change all the editing comments into “Thanks for the upload!” ?
It’s all fine 🙂 I saw you were getting frustrated and pointing out a lot of things, and I felt bad hahaha. I’m a slow worker, it should’ve been done earlier, but with work I’m tired every day 😅
Don’t worry though, I’ll get there, promise! I’ll let you know, maybe in a week or two? Once CFJWF is finished,the whole focus will be on SPMT. And they won’t even consider picking up a new novel until everything is completely sorted out.
Oh thank goodness. Dont worry about it, your mental and physical health is way more important. I didnt know there is a team working on an update and just wanted to make things easier to read for everybody. Should have just asked before sitting down and commenting, my bad.
Can’t wait to see the story unfold even more.
i am confusion. who’s this hefeng. why are there so many names
I was confuse too, with the name changes, also it was never explained what they did with their property.
