Chapter 26: The Leng Family Feast - Part 1
Seven days later, at the Leng family's residence.
"Hey! Old Su, why did you barge into someone's room without knocking?!"
As soon as Na'er, who was curled up in bed, noticed Su Jiu's uninvited arrival, she quickly wrapped herself in the blanket, staring intently at Su Jiu as if guarding against a thief, while her body seemed to be quietly gathering strength, preparing for a thunderous strike.
Hiss!
Blow!
"Ha~ Na'er, you have the nerve to say that? The sun's already high in the sky, and you're still not awake? Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Su Jiu looked Na'er up and down, a look that only appeared when Su Jiu admired a beautiful woman.
However, it was fleeting.
She was unremarkable, except for being excessively cute, and possessing a cunning and mischievous nature hidden beneath her adorable exterior. Such a person as Na'er didn't arouse even the slightest physical desire in Su Jiu's eyes.
Na'er instantly understood Su Jiu's meaning, but she was unhappy about it.
"Old Su, what's with that look? Are you looking down on me?"
As soon as Na'er finished speaking, Su Jiu casually tossed a small, exquisite silver children's cheongsam onto her head.
The fabric is a delicate, dark-patterned soft satin with a faint pearlescent sheen. The collar and hem are embroidered with a circle of pale purple dragon patterns, the dragon scales are densely woven with silver thread, and the dragon whiskers and tail are adorned with a few extremely fine amethyst tassels that shimmer softly with every movement, making the entire cheongsam both lively and elegant.
It's so cute to serve with two buns on your back...
"I'm not interested in little kids. Let them grow up for another ten years or so, little potato."
"Also, don't let anyone laugh at me today, my little child bride..."
After saying that, he left. He was a very busy man today and didn't have much time to argue with the little silver dragon.
As for whether Na'er can wear a cheongsam, with Ajiu temporarily under Aqi's control, even if Na'er is stupid, she should be able to wear it... right?
……
At 10 a.m., representatives from Soul Master families began arriving at the Leng family to offer their congratulations.
Because Leng Yaozhu did not set any restrictions on outsiders, the number of Soul Masters attending the banquet this time was even greater, and the lively and noisy atmosphere far exceeded that of Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue's wedding not long ago!
Are they worried that the evil spirit masters will launch another surprise attack and trap them like turtles in a jar?
Brother, stop joking. The land they're standing on is Shrek City!
Excluding the special circumstances surrounding the three little boys, with Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, the Tang Sect's main residence, and various super families all based here, it's no exaggeration to say that this is the safest region on the entire Douluo Star, bar none!
Countless Soul Masters gathered here from all corners of the world, just to witness and verify with their own eyes what kind of brilliance and demeanor the new generation's number one person on the continent truly possessed.
The reason is nothing more than rumors from the outside world that Leng Wuduan, with the cultivation of a level 96 Super Douluo, defied the previous generation's number one person, the ultimate quasi-god Yun Ming!
Who is Yun Ming?
That's the entire Douluo Continent, encompassing both the Star Luo and Douluo continents, and the universally acknowledged and renowned Sky-Supporting Douluo, the strongest in the world!
Now that such rumors have emerged, their first impression will definitely be that it's just gossip. A level 96 character struggles to defeat a level 97 character, let alone a level 99 character who is at the pinnacle of godhood!
This isn't just empty boasting!
You might as well say that Master Yu personally destroyed the Spirit Hall, which would be more convincing.
It wasn't until the current master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Dongfeng, became extremely self-aware and appeared in person to clarify things for Su Jiu, and Shrek Academy did not make any response, that the general public of Soul Masters began to believe the matter.
It wasn't that the Eternal East Wind was particularly kind to those belonging to the Spirit Pagoda, or that its resentment towards Su Jiu for seizing the "Phoenix" had disappeared.
In his heart, his resentment towards Su Jiu didn't even rank high; the real top contenders were Shrek Academy and Yun Ming!
Why not do Su Jiu a favor, and at the same time, openly and reasonably trample on Shrek Academy and Yun Ming's so-called face and glory?
After all, such opportunities are rare!
Today, Leng Yaozhu is wearing a form-fitting crimson cheongsam, just like herself.
The fabric of her robe, as red as flowing fire, tightly outlined her exquisite and graceful figure. Embroidered on the robe was a golden phoenix poised to take flight, its feathers so lifelike and detailed that it seemed ready to burst through the fabric and soar into the sky at any moment.
The cheongsam perfectly accentuated her curves, making her even more alluring and charming, exuding both charm and sharpness. At first glance, she was incredibly sexy, causing countless men present to feel a surge of heat and unable to look away.
But he is out of step with the world, aloof and distant, with an invisible boundary of his own.
Even with its captivating charm, it can only be admired from afar, not touched up close; it inspires awe but not desecration.
"Yali's here! Come on, sit here!"
Ya Li was once again the representative from Shrek Academy to attend the grand banquet.
On the one hand, she had to represent the face of Shrek Academy. Such a significant and extraordinary banquet was usually attended by the successive leaders of the Sea God Pavilion.
On the other hand, Yun Ming had just been defeated. He had been invincible for too long, suppressing too many peerless geniuses of his time. Among them, there were undoubtedly quite a few people like Qian Gu Dong Feng, who had been suppressed for a long time and were probably gloating over his misfortune.
As Yun Ming's capable wife and also the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion, even knowing that this was a "trap," she had to bravely stand up and share Yun Ming's burden.
"Yaru, you look beautiful today! You look just like you when you were 18..."
Ya Li walked over upon hearing the sound, ignoring the sarcasm and opportunism directed at Yun Ming beside her. With a healing smile on her face, she generously offered her praise.
"As Wudu's wife and also the matriarch of the Leng family, isn't it only natural for her to put effort into these aspects?"
Leng Yaozhu covered her mouth and smiled, her brows filled with pride and happiness.
Yali paused for a moment, then sighed, a smile on her lips carrying a hint of bitterness and a sincere blessing. Wasn't this just like her in the past?
"Congratulations, Yaozhu! Your wish to marry the number one man in the mainland has come true. Your life must be perfect now."
At this moment, Su Jiu, dressed in a fitted black Zhongshan suit, walked out of the hall, holding Na'er in his arms, who had been carefully dressed up by A Qi like a porcelain doll.
"Na'er, remember to cooperate with me later, okay? I'll make sure you get whatever you want to eat afterwards!"
"Hehe~ Brother Su, don't worry about Na'er!"
For no other reason than that Na'er had promised Su Jiu beforehand, and she was an honest dragon, not for the delicious food Su Jiu mentioned!
"Hey! Yaozhu, who's that in your husband's arms?"
Actually, Yali had always been incredibly curious about Na'er's identity. To be honest, she also wanted to have such a cute little doll.
"My sister Na'er is also an unjustly adopted child bride."
"ah???"
Leng Yaozhu's answer instantly stunned Ya Li, and the smile on her lips froze.
Did she hear that right?
Or……
"Yali, you heard me right. You know I've already lived half my life, while Wuduan's life has just begun. If I leave first one day, I don't want him to be left alone in this world, and I'm even more afraid of him... So with Na'er by my side, I feel at ease..."
Leng Yaozhu said this because she didn't want to admit that she was the third party; she was clearly the older one!
"Honey, what are you talking about with His Holiness the Holy Spirit?"
"Na'er, come to your sister."
Leng Yaozhu took Na'er out of Su Jiu's arms with an extremely doting manner, as if she were treating her daughter rather than a younger sister.
The two figures, one large and one small, one in red and one in silver, one a phoenix and one a dragon, were an incredibly pleasing sight to behold.
"Honey, my sister can stay with me. You go and greet the guests..."
Just then, the War Gods, representing the pride of the Federation, led by Chen Xinjie, stepped in. There were a total of eighteen War Gods, giving the Leng family a lot of face.
However, what puzzled Su Jiu the most was what was that banner they were holding?
