Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 225 Son-in-law
A sea of ​​astonished faces watched as Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo embraced Nan Liujing and then left, chatting and laughing.

At this moment, countless young men and women had their dreams shattered.

At the Spirit Transmission Academy, romance is not forbidden, especially since Soul Masters develop earlier than ordinary people. And the pursuit of beauty is a thought ingrained in the genes of most people.

Whether it's Ye Xinglan's heroic beauty, like a sharp sword revealing its edge, or Wu Siduo's calm and reserved appearance, yet unable to conceal her cold and alluring nature, like a thorny rose.

It has a fatal attraction for young people, regardless of gender, and can be described as universally appealing.

No one expected that the men of these two exceptionally beautiful women would be the same person.

"Keep practicing," the homeroom teacher shouted.

The students then realized what had happened, and the girl who had sent petals flying everywhere with her palm asked unwillingly, "Teacher, are Teacher Ye and Teacher Wu's boyfriends both the dean?"

The homeroom teacher, having been through it all, understood the youthful excitement of these young people and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Well, I don't know. Why don't you go ask them yourselves?"

"Then forget it. I'm afraid the dean will think I have ulterior motives and kill me with a slap." The girl resolutely refused.

"It's not that cruel." The homeroom teacher chuckled, then his expression turned serious. "Let's continue the sparring!"

...

"To be honest, I'm quite nervous right now."

Strolling along the leisurely forest path, Nan Liujing asked himself if he had ever felt this tense as he had fought against countless enemies.

Ye Xinglan snorted, "How can I not be nervous? Other people meet one father-in-law, but you're meeting two at once."

Wu Siduo stood with her hands behind her back, her snow-white chin slightly raised. Sunlight filtering through the leaves fell on her cold and alluring face, and her heterochromatic eyes held a playful smile: "I was wondering if my father would immediately guess something when he met Uncle Ye."

Yunyan Tower.

The address is located in the inner city of Shrek, and the place itself is exquisite and elegant with a beautiful environment. More importantly, it offers a premium tea called Yunyan.

In the afternoon, guests can enjoy tea and conversation, and in the evening, they can also have drinks and dinner.

The price is reasonable, and the service is top-notch, but it is only available to a specific group of people.

"Why are you here?"

At that time, in a top-class tea room of Yunyan Tower, Wu Jingru was staring wide-eyed at Ye Changming, who was dressed in white and looked very elegant.

Ye Changming subconsciously retorted, "My daughter booked a meal here because I was back at headquarters reporting for duty. How did you end up here?"

Wu Jingru was taken aback: "Miyun and I came to Shrek City to attend an auction. Siduo, that girl, hasn't seen us for so long, so she specially arranged a meal for us here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two old brothers, who had been friends for decades, suddenly understood something.

Wu Jingru laughed: "Great. I was wondering why Siduo specifically told me that tonight was a family dinner and even told me and her mother to wear formal clothes. Turns out it was to meet her son-in-law."

Ye Changming then noticed that Wu Jingru and his wife, who was traveling with him, were both dressed exquisitely.

She glanced at her usual outfit again and muttered to herself, "Xinglan, that girl, doesn't even bother to explain. I should have changed my clothes."

Upon meeting his old buddies, Wu Jingru immediately became lively. She plopped down on the futon opposite Ye Changming, picked up the teapot, and poured herself and her wife a cup of tea with lingering smoke and aroma.

He downed the cup in one gulp, marveling at its quality.

As for Wu Siduo's mother, whose real name is Song Miyun, she was elegant and poised when sipping tea, and her voice was gentle and melodious: "It's quite a coincidence. When Ruoyao and I were pregnant, you two made a pact that if you had a son and a daughter, you would become in-laws. But in the end, you both had daughters, so the matter was dropped. Who would have thought that more than ten years later, your two daughters would be married off in a different way?"

Ye Changming paused, a hint of sadness appearing in his eyes.

Wu Jingru keenly sensed this and decisively changed the subject: "If you ask me, Liu Jing is really ruthless. Next time I run into Lao Sun, I'll give him a good scolding for how he raises his child."

Ye Changming frowned: "Accurate and ruthless? What do you mean?"

Wu Jingru sneered, "How can you be so precise about matters between men and women? If it weren't for the fact that the deed was done, do you think I would just watch my daughter share a man with another woman? Not even your Xinglan."

Ye Changming's expression changed. "That shouldn't be the case, right? I know Liu Jing's temperament; he would never do anything reckless."

“Siduo already told her mother, how could it be false?” Wu Jingru said irritably.

Ye Changming frowned. He still firmly believed that Nan Liujing was not the kind of person who was in a hurry to get married: "Could it be that your girl was worried that you would not agree to this marriage, so she fooled you in advance?"

Wu Jingru hissed. Song Miyun calmly drank her tea.

"Bang bang bang."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The two elderly fathers sat up straight in an instant and began to leisurely enjoy their tea.

Seeing this, Song Miyun secretly chuckled to herself.

She got up and opened the door.

Three figures stood outside the door.

"mom."

"Aunt Song." ×2
Wu Siduo obediently stepped forward and took her mother's arm, acting all cute and affectionate.

Song Miyun tapped her daughter's forehead with her finger before smiling and saying to Ye Xinglan and Nan Liujing, "Come in."

Nan Liujing took a deep breath. Seeing his nervousness, Ye Xinglan couldn't help but smile slightly and took the initiative to straighten his collar. "Don't panic, it's just a formality."

Upon entering the tea room and noticing his two fathers-in-law, who also appeared somewhat nervous, Nan Liujing instantly calmed down.

It turns out everyone was tense after all.

"Uncle Ye, Uncle Wu."

Under Song Miyun's arrangement, Nan Liujing sat in her original seat.

"Hmm." The two old men nodded, trying to appear calm.

Ye Changming and Wu Jingru exchanged a glance. Without giving Nan Liujing any time to prepare, the former cut to the chase: "I heard from Xinglan that she arranged this dinner tonight to introduce her boyfriend to me. But I also heard from your Uncle Wu that her daughter also introduced her boyfriend to her parents. Liujing, could you be the boyfriend that Xinglan and Siduo were talking about?"

"???"

Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo, who were seated on the other side, were taken aback.

When did we explicitly say we were bringing our boyfriends to meet our parents?
Song Miyun calmly shook her head at the two of them.

The two women snorted inwardly, thinking that once they finished eating, they would have to let their father know what it meant for daughters to be disgusted.

Nan Liujing answered quickly: "Yes."

"..." The two old men were taken aback. "Alright, alright, you've gone straight to the point, so let's not beat around the bush either."

Wu Jingru said in a deep voice, "In that case, you should follow your two uncles for a walk in the courtyard."

"Yes." Nan Liujing responded.

The three of them got up and left the tea room together.

"Mom, did Dad and Uncle Ye talk about something before we arrived?" Wu Siduo hurriedly asked her mother.

When she saw her mother frown and ask, "You said before that you and Liu Jing had a fait accompli, were you lying?"

Ye Xinglan's eyes changed slightly, and she pricked up her ears to listen.

Wu Siduo said awkwardly, "I was just afraid you wouldn't agree."

"As expected." Song Miyun said irritably, "You, after you got together with Liu Jing, you could have just told your parents. Why did you have to make up an excuse? Your dad and I almost thought that Liu Jing was a lecherous person."

Ye Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief. "I was afraid you and Dad wouldn't agree," Wu Siduo said weakly.

Song Miyun said quietly, "After your father found out that you and Liu Jing were together, he threw a three-day banquet at home. He's been dreaming of having this son-in-law. Is that what you call disagreement?"

Wu Siduo stuck out her tongue and said, "Dad is just after Liu Jing's background and status, isn't he?"

Song Miyun said earnestly, "Your father is the head of the family and needs to think about the whole family. In the past, you would most likely have married a genius from a top power, just like your father and I did. Later, you achieved good results in the Federation Grand Competition, and countless powers offered to arrange marriages with you. However, your father rejected the previous practice and let you find someone you like."

“You like Liu Jing, and his background and strength far surpass any genius from any top power. Your father is naturally happy. It’s good that we met today. Let’s get things straight so we don’t overthink things.”

Joy appeared in Wu Siduo's eyes. She pursed her lips and took out a jade box from her bosom. "Mom, this is a gift from Liu Jing to you."

Song Miyun was somewhat surprised, and took the jade box to examine it: "This child is quite thoughtful."

Wu Siduo smiled sweetly: "The gift Liu Jing prepared for you is an exquisite treasure that money can't buy for any woman. Please open it and take a look."

"Oh?" Song Miyun's curiosity was piqued, and she immediately opened the box. A gentle breeze wafted over her, and she could smell a refreshing fragrance.

It was a spiritual plant that looked somewhat translucent, with soft light flowing through its veins, much like a crystal that had been polished for a long time.

Looking at the exquisitely beautiful spiritual plant, Song Miyun was clearly bewildered and did not recognize it.

Wu Siduo smiled and explained, "This immortal herb is called Water and Sky in One Color. It comes from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. It can not only beautify and nourish your skin for a hundred years, but also improve your physique. In other words, you will maintain your most beautiful state for the next hundred years."

"A magical herb?" Song Miyun was shocked, but she didn't care about the so-called beauty and skin care.

The ancestors of the Wu family, including Zhu Zhuqing from 20,000 years ago, relied on the immortal herb to finally qualify for godhood.

"It's too precious." Song Miyun felt like her hands were burning when she held it.

"This is a gift from your son-in-law. If you don't accept it, Liu Jing will think you're not satisfied with him as your son-in-law," Wu Siduo said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Song Miyun decided to accept it.

Ye Xinglan watched this scene with some envy. Her mother had passed away a long time ago, but in her memory, she was just as gentle as Aunt Song.

Wu Siduo chuckled and said, "There's one more thing I need to tell your mother."

"What?" Song Miyun asked.

Wu Siduo stepped forward and took Ye Xinglan's arm, smiling as she said, "This immortal herb was actually chosen for you by Xinglan. Because the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is under the control of the Xuanmen, it was she who told Liujing about the specific function of this immortal herb."

Ye Xinglan was stunned. She never expected Wu Siduo to bring her up. She turned her head and saw her best friend winking at her.

Don't wait to speak.

Song Miyun then embraced her with extreme tenderness: "Thank you, Xinglan."

Ye Xinglan opened her mouth, blushing, and said, "I'm glad you like it."

Song Miyun's next words immediately brought tears to her eyes: "Siduo and you chose Liujing, so from now on you are family. If you don't mind, you can treat Aunt Song as your mother. I am also very happy to have a second daughter."

Wu Siduo smiled and took a few steps back, a decision she had made not long ago after discussing it with her boyfriend.

Not only Ye Xinglan, but also Yuan Enyehui, whose mother also passed away early, since they will be a family in the future, then her mother will be the mother of her sisters.

"Mother."

Ye Xinglan's arms trembled, and she subconsciously hugged Song Miyun's back, her eyes glistening with tears, her voice barely audible.

“Mom’s here,” Song Miyun replied softly, gently patting Ye Xinglan’s back.

...

Yunyan Tower covers a large area and has many paths that resemble a garden.

Three grown men walked inside, chatting happily.

Both Ye Changming and Wu Jingru were quite happy to have Nan Liujing as their son-in-law.

As for his son-in-law having many women, this is commonplace for the head of a powerful family. The fact that the two of them only have one woman is unusual.

"Uncle Ye, Uncle Wu, I have something to give you both."

Stopping in a quaint, antique-style corridor, Nan Liujing spoke softly.

Ye Changming and Wu Jingru turned around to look.

Nan Liujing opened his arms, each palm containing a storage soul guide ring: "I suppose you two uncles already know that I became a divine craftsman. My teacher told me that you two also invited him to work with Heavenly Forging Metal, but unfortunately, he had too many orders to handle. I thought I'd bring a few pieces of Heavenly Forging Metal with me when I saw you two this time, but I don't know if they'd be suitable for your battle armor."

Just as Nan Liujing had imagined, the two brothers were stunned when they heard the words "Tian Duan".

Nan Liujing couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, but kept his face calm, though his hand moved a little closer.

Ye Changming and Wu Jingru exchanged a glance and immediately started a private chat.

Dance mirror: "Take it or not?"

Ye Changming: "Nonsense, this was given to me by my son-in-law, why not take it? You should know that there are only two four-word battle armor masters in the entire Xuanmen sect."

Wu Jingru: "I never thought that one day I, Wu Jingru, could become a four-word battle armor master."

Ye Changming remained silent.

Although the Wu family is one of the top powers in Xingluo City, it can only be considered a top power in the entire Douluo Continent. Even the Fusion-level Soul Forging Metal for the Three-Word Battle Armor took a long time to prepare and gather.

As for him, his situation is similar to that of Wu Jingru.

"It wouldn't be appropriate for us to refuse since this is your first gift, so we'll accept it."

Two hands reached out and each took the storage ring that belonged to them.

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "Accepting this means that you two agree to Xinglan and Siduo being with me."

Wu Jingru waved her hand: "When you were little, I talked to your uncle about whether to arrange a marriage between you and Siduo. Now that you are in a free love relationship, I am relieved."

Ye Changming instructed, "Besides you, I've never seen Xinglan get close to any other boy. Treat her well."

Nan Liujing stepped back and solemnly performed the son-in-law's salute.

He then said solemnly, "I urge you two uncles to upgrade your battle armor as soon as possible. Perhaps it won't be long before a major event that will affect the entire Douluo Star will occur."

Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions hardened.

As a high-ranking member of the Xuanmen sect, Ye Changming succinctly asked, "The Abyss?"

The mirror reflects the pupils of the dancers as if they were constricting.

"Yes," Nan Liujing said solemnly. "The Abyss is stirring and is secretly cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult, trying to repeat the invasion thousands of years ago. My two uncles have become four-word battle armor masters, and their strength is comparable to that of a Limit Douluo. When the plan is implemented, I ask for your help."

"After this is accomplished, both the Ye family and the Wu family will advance further. And they will be treated as heroes."

The two old men looked at each other, a look of sternness appearing in their eyes.

In fact, that was what Nan Liujing meant.

The Ye and Wu families are stuck in an awkward position between high-level and top-level powers, unable to advance further while other forces below them are eyeing them. This is why both families have a tradition of intermarriage. If the two family heads can win battles based on their own strength, then the status of both families will rise accordingly.

As powerful individuals and elders, they themselves do not wish to rely entirely on their sons-in-law for support in the future.

Our own future depends on our own hard work.
