Chapter 231: Ji Yan: There's nothing we can do, he's given too much! (4200 words)
"Yinger, go and see if Miss and the future son-in-law have arrived!" Beside Ji Yan, a plump and mature beauty anxiously instructed a maid.
"Yes, Madam!" The maid obeyed and left.
"I say, Madam, why are you so anxious? When the time comes, they will come!" Ji Yan opened his eyes, glanced at his main wife, shook his head, took out a book, and started reading it calmly.
Lin Yuyi, Ji Yan's first wife.
Gave birth to two sons for Ji Yan.
Also the birth mother of Ji Zidian, with a high status in Thunder Sound Peak.
"How can I not be anxious? This is a major event in our little Jiuer's life. You act as if you have no care in the world!" Lin Yuyi gave Ji Yan a disdainful look and spat.
"This kind of thing has its own destiny. Being anxious won't make a difference! Madam, you still haven't cultivated your temperament!" Ji Yan stroked his beard and said.
Lin Yuyi glanced at him, her mouth twitching. "Yes, you have such a good temperament. You can still enjoy reading even when the book is upside down!"
Ji Yan: "..."
His face turned red, but he calmly turned the book around and coughed. "Madam, you don't understand. When you reach my level of cultivation, sometimes you have to try reading the scriptures upside down to gain new insights!"
He couldn't admit that he was nervous!
He was the esteemed leader of Thunder Lineage, the undisputed boss of Thunder Sound Peak. A respected Saint Manifestation expert!
It's just the first formal visit of the future son-in-law. It's not the first time...
Well, his daughter-in-law has dealt with it many times, but the son-in-law... this is indeed the first time!
"When they come later, don't make that sour face of yours and scare them away, got it?" Lin Yuyi warned.
"A woman like you doesn't understand. I'm just establishing authority to prevent our little Jiuer from being bullied after she gets married..." Ji Yan grumbled.
Lin Yuyi rolled her eyes and couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
He was all talk.
A few days ago, he secretly told her that this son-in-law was good and worthy of their daughter, but now he was pretending.
Men are really complicated!
...
"Brothers, what should we say when we meet our brother-in-law for the first time?"
Below, the Ji family brothers gathered for a small meeting and discussed.
"Our brother-in-law is easy to get along with. Just be normal!" Ji Jinglei spoke first.
"That won't do!"
Ji Baye had a different opinion and analyzed seriously, "As the saying goes, if the mother's family is not tough, the daughter will suffer! We have to be tough!"
"That's right, we only have one sister. What if she gets bullied after she gets married? What should we do?" Someone immediately responded.
"We have to show some strength, otherwise, people will think our Ji family is weak!"
"But... Although our brother-in-law only has Nascent Soul cultivation, I heard that his combat power is amazing. He can defeat Astral Projection Almighties and kill a group of demonic cultivators who are comparable to Astral Projection..." someone suddenly said.
Everyone fell silent.
"What are we afraid of? After all, our father is here. Can he beat us all in front of our father?" Ji Kungpeng said with great determination. But soon, he changed his tone, "However, the people from Thunder Sound Peak should not take advantage of their power! It's not good to make it seem like marrying our sister is so scary..."
Ji Jinglei blinked, "So, big brother, what do you mean?"
Ji Kungpeng's eyes flickered with wisdom as he said, "Be gentle yet firm, firm yet gentle. We should show the character of our Ji family and also let our brother-in-law feel the warmth of our Thunder Sound Peak family!"
The brothers' eyes flashed with admiration.
Big brother was indeed big brother.
He had such skill in speaking.
Although they couldn't understand, they felt it was impressive.
......
"Master, Madam... Miss and Young Master have arrived!"
A maid hurried over to report, excited and out of breath.
For a moment,
The whole scene became chaotic.
People were running everywhere, taking their positions, sitting upright as if frozen in place.
They didn't dare to look around.
But after waiting for a moment, they couldn't help but stretch their necks and glance towards the distance.
Finally,
Lights appeared in the distance.
The sky was filled with colorful clouds.
A pair of extraordinary individuals arrived in mid-air, standing side by side.
The young man was dressed in a white robe that flowed several feet long, his black hair cascading like a waterfall, his skin crystal clear like jade. His eyes shone like stars, dazzling and ethereal, as if he were a celestial being, exuding an otherworldly beauty. There was a faint smile on his face, as if even the vast sea was nothing in his eyes.
The young woman had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, delicate and charming. She wore a purple long dress that accentuated her slender waist and emphasized her graceful curves. The purple thunderbolt mark on her forehead added a touch of sacred and mysterious aura to her, as if she were a Celestial Immortal descended to earth.
The two of them walked side by side, as if stepping out of a painting, leaving people speechless.
"What a divine couple!" Lin Yuyi lost herself in thought and murmured.
Looking at this couple, it reminded her of her own memories, and she couldn't help but feel sentimental. Tears streamed down her face as she said, "In the past, I also enjoyed the title of a fairy, but I regret not opening my eyes..."
Beside her, Third Aunt quickly grabbed her hand and wiped away her tears, saying, "We sisters share the same fate!"
Lin Yuyi asked, "Are you the same?"
Third Aunt nodded, "Yes, in the past, I was known as the stunning fairy, but unfortunately, I lost my sight and met the wrong person!"
Ninth Aunt also joined in, "Who isn't like that?"
More than thirty aunts chimed in, crying and complaining.
Ji Yan's face turned black, "???"
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
Am I really that much worse than that guy?
Yes, I admit that he is indeed good-looking, but compared to my peak, at most he is just slightly better, right?
"Did you see the old man's expression? It's hilarious!" Below, Ji Kunpeng secretly transmitted to his brothers, enjoying the spectacle.
It's been a long time since they've seen their old man being humiliated like this. They need to appreciate it.
"The old man has always boasted about his unparalleled charm, but this time he has to face reality! Hehe..." Ji Baye also joined in the schadenfreude.
Just then,
"Ah, little sister is really lucky, it's so enviable..." a young female cultivator sighed, feeling sorry for herself. It was Ji Kunpeng's wife.
Ji Kunpeng: ???
"That's right, if my husband had half of Wang Xiu's qualities, I would wake up from my dreams with a smile!" Ji Baye's wife also spoke up.
"We sisters are just unlucky!" Ji Shisan's wife wiped her tears, looking very sad.
A group of women gathered together, lamenting their experiences over the years, feeling that they had lived a difficult life.
Ji family brothers: !!!
Ji Jinglei watched this scene and couldn't help but shrink his neck, secretly feeling fortunate.
Fortunately, he hasn't gotten married yet.
Otherwise, it would be dangerous!
If he were compared to Wang Xiu junior brother by his wife every day, wouldn't it drive him to death?
How could he possibly compare to him?
Wait, no... at least in terms of thunder magic talent, Wang Xiu junior brother and I are evenly matched, and there's no clear distinction between us!
Upon thinking about it, there's no need for me to feel inferior, right?
With this thought, his mood suddenly improved.
Looking at the gazes of the other brothers, there was a hint of condescension and satisfaction.
"One hundredth brother, you must work hard in your cultivation in the future, strive to become an outstanding person like your brother-in-law Wang Xiu, understand? Otherwise, if your future wife compares you to your brother-in-law, you won't even be able to argue..." Ji Jinglei said, patting the head of Ji Xiaoxiao beside him with great emphasis.
Ji Xiaoxiao, who was only six years old, blinked her innocent eyes and said, "Why do you need to argue? Just send her to live with your brother-in-law, and everyone will be happy!"
Ji Jinglei: "!!!"
He couldn't refute this statement!
...
"Younger generation Wang Xiu, I greet Uncle Ji and Aunties!" Wang Xiu and Ji Zidian walked side by side to the center of the palace, behaving politely.
"Mm!" Ji Yan replied with a nasal tone.
"No need to be polite, we are all family here, no need for formalities!" Lin Yuyi, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic. She glanced at Ji Yan and walked straight down, pulling Wang Xiu and Ji Zidian to their seats.
"I have heard that my nephew Wang Xiu is a rare handsome young man in the Immortal Cultivation World. Seeing you today, it is indeed true!" Lin Yuyi held Wang Xiu's hand and kept appraising him, becoming more and more satisfied the longer she looked.
"That's right, if I were a few hundred years younger, I'm afraid I couldn't wait for Jiuyi to make a move. I would have taken the initiative to pursue you! Kekeke~" Ji Yitai chuckled flirtatiously, her laughter shaking and her jokes slightly risqué.
"Oh my, what are you all saying?" Ji Zidian was embarrassed by these words, her face turning red and hot. She didn't dare to turn her head to see Wang Xiu's reaction.
"Auntie is just joking! To be honest, if it weren't for Ji Shimei introducing you all to me in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to recognize you. With your celestial immortal appearance, how could you look like elders? I would believe it if you said you were Ji Shimei's sisters..." Wang Xiu sincerely sighed.
Hearing this, Lin Yuyi and the other women were delighted, their smiles blossoming.
"Oh, young man, you really know how to talk!"
"Kekeke~ No wonder you can make our Jiuyi obedient. Your sweet words are so charming~"
"Ah, we're all old, we can't compare to you young people..."
"But you know, back in the day, I was a renowned beauty for tens of thousands of miles. How many talented cultivators fought for me? I didn't choose any of them..."
[Ding!]
[A person nearby is bragging. Congratulations to the host for gaining +255 mana!]
Wang Xiu quickly became friendly with this group of aunts. With his superb conversational skills, he amused these beautiful young women to no end.
It was very lively here.
Full of joy and beauty.
"By the way, Aunties, I brought gifts for you this time!" Wang Xiu had prepared in advance and took out a box of pollen. He gently opened it, and a misty light and fragrant scent filled the air, smelling very pleasant.
"It smells so good~"
"This is the powder made from the petals of the Fairy Flower. It can keep one's youth, make the skin delicate and radiant, and lock in moisture..."
"Wow, really?"
"Oh, Xiaoxiu, you're so thoughtful!"
No woman doesn't love beauty, even if she is a fairy.
Actually, that flower is not called the Fairy Flower, it's just a special kind of Spirit Medicine with a pleasant fragrance. As for its beauty and skincare effects...
Most spiritual medicines have such effects.
A body nourished by spiritual energy will not be too ugly as long as it is not inherently flawed!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became even more lively.
"Cough cough cough..." Ji Yan became unhappy and coughed loudly, trying to attract attention.
But no one paid him any attention.
Hmph!
This kid is smooth-tongued and insincere, always flattering!
Ji Kunpeng loved to see the old man suffer setbacks, and he pretended to come forward and comfort him, saying, "It's okay, Father, once our brother-in-law arrives, he will be able to integrate into our big family. This is a good thing! We should be happy..."
Ji Yan looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Take another look?"
Ji Kunpeng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and suddenly saw a scene that made his brain explode.
"Oh, is this my sister-in-law? She is truly a peerless beauty, extraordinary and elegant, resembling a Celestial Immortal, with a remarkable temperament, like the Fairy of the Cold Palace... I have a beautiful orchid here, which is perfect for my sister-in-law..."
"Hehehe~ How can you say that? Brother-in-law, you really have good taste. Actually, I've aged these years, and my skin isn't as smooth as before. If you had met me earlier, I would have been at my peak!"
*Ding!*
*Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the host for gaining +88 mana!*
*Cough cough cough!* Ji Kunpeng coughed loudly, catching his wife's attention.
The other party immediately walked over and asked gently, "Kunpeng, are you feeling unwell?"
Ji Kunpeng, a big man, was almost moved to tears. His wife still cared about him. He nodded with tears in his eyes, "Yes."
Unexpectedly, his wife pushed him out directly, saying, "If you're not feeling well, go back and rest. Be careful not to infect your brother-in-law. How can you be so immature at your age?"
Ji Kunpeng: "???"
He was filled with grief and anger as he stared at Wang Xiu, who was at ease among the women, and gritted his teeth, "Smooth-talking scoundrel, bah!"
"..."
"Eighth sister-in-law is truly the most beautiful woman in the world. Just by looking at her, one can tell she is knowledgeable and virtuous, a perfect wife for a true man. Life would be complete with a wife like eighth sister-in-law!"
"It's great that my brother-in-law understands me and is cultured! Unlike my brother Ji Baye, he's so rude, always swearing..."
"..."
"Damn it, smooth-talking scoundrel, bah!" Ji Baye's back teeth were almost ground to pieces.
He joined the camp to criticize Wang Xiu.
There were over a hundred members of the Ji family.
From Ji Jinglei upwards, more than half of them inherited Ji Yan's traditions and education, marrying early and having children.
So, there were a lot of sisters-in-law in the Ji family.
At this moment, a group of men sought solace together, tears streaming down their faces as they watched Wang Xiu's triumphant scene.
"I think we need to carefully consider letting Wang Xiu enter our family!" Suddenly, Ji Yan spoke, his words filled with sourness. "What do you all think?"
"Father understands righteousness, and I fully support it!" Ji Kunpeng said with determination, his voice resolute.
"It concerns the happiness of our little sister, so it does need careful consideration!" Ji Baye also expressed his stance, with tears still fresh on his face.
"Me too!"
"We do need to seriously consider it!"
"..." The Ji brothers all expressed their unanimous agreement.
However, in the next moment, Wang Xiu suddenly squeezed out from among the women, bowed to Ji Yan, and presented a jade jar, saying, "Uncle Ji, I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare anything! Here is a jar of Xiezhi's blood. I hope Uncle Ji won't find it distasteful!"
The jade jar was opened, and instantly, a blue brilliance flickered, with misty radiance and flashes of lightning, transforming into a sea of stars, incredibly mystical.
The entire Thunder Sound Peak was filled with spiritual energy.
It was covered by endless brilliance.
Thunder and lightning filled the sky.
Endlessly!
Ji Yan stood up from his seat, staring at the jar of blood with wide eyes.
For a long time.
He burst into laughter, patting Wang Xiu's shoulder. "Since you're here, why bring anything? My son-in-law is really too polite. There's no need to be so formal among family. Let's sit down quickly and have a drink together!"
Ji Kunpeng: "???"
Ji Baye: "???"
Everyone: "???"
