Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1379 - 232: Number One on the Heavenly List, Wan Jianyi!
National Master Mansion.
At this moment.
Ji Mingyue looked at the family in front of her, secretly giving herself a thumbs up.
"This should secure Jiang Ning’s family, right!"
She felt a bit proud inside.
Just then.
A gentle breeze passed by.
Su Qingying appeared in a light green long dress beside Jiang Ning.
Her long black hair draped down to her waist, with beads of water trickling down the tips.
It was evident that Su Qingying had just finished bathing.
"Such a clever trick!" Seeing the water droplets slowly dripping from Su Qingying’s hair, Jiang Ning secretly felt astonished.
Given Su Qingying’s speed of appearance, in such high speed, it would be impossible for droplets to remain on her hair; they would have been blown dry instantly by the strong wind.
Yet now, droplets were gathering and falling from Su Qingying’s hair, defying common sense.
The skill was so profound that he found it unfathomable.
"Seventeenth Princess!" Su Qingying said calmly upon seeing Ji Mingyue.
"Greetings to the State Preceptor!" Ji Mingyue looked directly at Su Qingying, giving a slight bow.
"What brings the Seventeenth Princess to my mansion?" Su Qingying inquired.
"To formally meet my brother and sister-in-law, and later escort Lord Jiang to attend the Linyuan Small Gathering!" Ji Mingyue replied.
"Sister-in-law, what’s going on?" Su Qingying’s expression shifted slightly as she glanced at Liuu Wanwan.
Before Liuu Wanwan could speak, Ji Mingyue smiled slightly: "I’ve long had a secret engagement with Lord Jiang, so his brother and sister-in-law are naturally my brother and sister-in-law!"
Hearing this, Su Qingying fell into a brief silence.
"Hey, you two ladies, don’t just stand there! Come in and sit down, and later we’ll all have dinner together!" Liuu Wanwan proactively broke the tension.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingying swallowed the words she was about to utter.
She took a look at Jiang Ning, and unintentionally touched her belly.
Seeing Su Qingying’s action, Jiang Ning was taken aback.
He recalled her previous self-murmuring.
"Could she really think she’s pregnant?" At this possibility, he felt slightly alarmed and his eyes focused on Su Qingying’s mouth, ready to step forward and cover it at any moment.
He feared that Su Qingying might blurt out something shocking, as he knew she was practically a blank slate regarding matters between men and women.
In Su Qingying’s understanding, if a man and a woman slept together, they would get pregnant and have children.
This was the terrifying naivety of a novice.
Only when he saw that Su Qingying had no intention of speaking did Jiang Ning secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, I can cook, let me help you!" Ji Mingyue eagerly volunteered at this moment.
"I... sister-in-law, I can tend the fire!" Su Qingying said, somewhat embarrassed.
"You two ladies don’t need to busy yourselves! Sit down with Ah Ning and relax; let me treat you to my cooking skills." Liuu Wanwan looked at the actively volunteering Ji Mingyue and Su Qingying and could barely contain her laughter.
She wasn’t foolish, easily seeing that these two ladies had unusual relationships with Jiang Ning.
...
A little over an hour later.
"Come, try this, it’s my specialty, White Jade Pearl Tofu!" Liuu Wanwan served two bowls of silken tofu with broth, handing one to each of Ji Mingyue and Su Qingying, aiming for balance.
At this moment, Ji Mingyue noticed two extra pieces of tofu in her bowl, and her lips curled slightly upward.
She knew this was the result of her recent gift.
The extra tofu in her bowl clearly showed that this sister-in-law favored her a bit more.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning was busily devouring the noodles.
The last time he tasted Liuu Wanwan’s cooking was a month ago.
...
After dinner.
Ji Mingyue rubbed her belly, looking completely satisfied.
"Sister-in-law’s cooking is so good, I wonder if I’ll have the chance to enjoy it often in the future."
"Of course, you will!" Liuu Wanwan replied with a joyful smile. "Yuanyuan, come over whenever you have time; tell me what you’d like, and I’ll make it for you!"
"Once you marry Ah Ning, you can eat it every day!"
Upon hearing these words.
Ji Mingyue looked towards Jiang Ning, her eyes full of life: "I can’t wait for that day to come."
After hearing this, Su Qingying quietly put down her chopsticks.
She glanced at Jiang Ning, seemingly having a thought, then her lips curled slightly upward.
"Seventeenth Princess, the time is almost up, we should set off!" Jiang Ning stood up and said.
"Okay!" Ji Mingyue stood up as well.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, take your time!" Ji Mingyue said with a smile.
"Auntie, goodbye!!" Little Dumpling put down his little spoon and raised his hands high.
"Alright, Little Dumpling!" Ji Mingyue said with a bright smile.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, I’m going to see them off!" Su Qingying also stood up.
"Alright!" Liuu Wanwan nodded at Su Qingying, then added: "Remember to come back in and have some more to eat!"
"Okay, Sister-in-law!" Su Qingying nodded.
...
Linyuan Pavilion.
"It’s just up ahead!" Ji Mingyue pointed forward to the two-story pavilion as she stood on Long Street with Jiang Ning.
"I can hardly wait!" Jiang Ning rubbed his hands together, glancing at his own panel.
After spending forty thousand Source Energy Points to upgrade the Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword and the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword, his Source Energy Points had dramatically decreased to less than 140,000 points.
Such rapid depletion left him feeling insecure.
The Source Energy Points required for future breakthroughs in cultivation techniques and skills would only increase.
He needed to replenish his consumption for the day.
The Linyuan Small Gathering, hosted by the princes, was bound to have plenty of spiritual wine and Spirit Fruit.
