My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 736: The Secret of Dragon Pond 1

After the toast, Si Mingjing intentionally said to Sheng Liuyun and Yun Yin, "You two brothers, you’d better hurry up."

The corners of Sheng Liuyun’s mouth twitched slightly. He hadn’t expected that after avoiding the marriage pressure from all the aunts in his family, he couldn’t escape his younger sister’s nagging.

Yun Yin had a strong mentality and remained calm. He wouldn’t easily step into marriage without finding someone he truly liked. Besides, in Mu Continent, men weren’t burdened with the duty of continuing the family line, so he lived quite freely.

After dinner, everyone, fatigued from the journey, found a guest room to rest.

Before going to sleep, Si Mingjing video-called her children who were far away in Baitown City. After making sure the kids were lively and energetic, she was about to hang up when Si Lisao appeared on the screen, telling her that the issue in Baitown City had been resolved.

Si Mingjing blinked in disbelief.

Si Lisao teased her from the other end of the call, "You should thank your good daughter for this, a top-notch little persuader."

Si Mingjing laughed, puzzled. "Brother Crown Prince, is it Yangyang?"

"Xiaobao doesn’t persuade~~" Su Chaoyang retorted indignantly, proudly patting her little chest. "Xiaobao has real talent and learning! Xiaobao has her own specialization. Uncle just doesn’t understand!"

"What happened?" Si Mingjing was curious.

Mo Yinhe was still in the bathroom showering. With nothing better to do, she settled comfortably on the bed, leisurely waiting to hear the story.

Si Lisao was brief and to the point, explaining the whole situation in just a few sentences.

Su Chaoyang, however, felt her uncle had simplified the story too much, failing to highlight her wit and abilities. So, she chimed in with her childlike voice, making sure every little clever detail was clearly expressed.

Listening to this made Si Mingjing smile brightly, her face beaming as she praised her, "Yangyang is that amazing?"

"Of course! If I wasn’t amazing, how could I be Mommy’s daughter?" With my brothers and sisters all being so excellent, if I weren’t at least a bit outstanding, wouldn’t I be overshadowed and become the invisible child my parents unknowingly ignored?

Si Mingjing continued to smile softly.

She then asked, "Many people in Baitown City have depression? What’s that about?"

Si Mingjing had been completely unaware of this.

Su Chaoyang had figured this out using her abilities. She said, "Mommy, Xiaobao figured it out! Oh, Xiaobao doesn’t know what happened either, but if Mommy can cure this city, you’ll win the hearts of the people."

Si Mingjing’s mouth twitched. "What a troublesome city. Isn’t this just getting stuck with a hot potato?"

"That’s what you wanted for yourself," Si Lisao said.

Si Mingjing: "..."

She was left speechless.

No, it wasn’t her who wanted it; it was Mo Yinhe who suggested she go for it.

Mo Yinhe came out of the bathroom just as Si Mingjing hung up the call. She shot him a look of distaste. Mo Yinhe’s scalp tingled. He dried his hair, walked to the bed, and asked with a smile, "Annoyed that I took too long in the shower?"

"In your dreams!" This man, did he think she was that desperate?

Mo Yinhe climbed into bed and rolled over to hold her, but Si Mingjing did not welcome him with enthusiasm; instead, she pushed him away.

Mo Yinhe was puzzled. "Tired?"

"Baitown City is a hot potato. Not only do they have different beliefs, but it’s also a sick city. I don’t know what you saw in it. Otherwise, Xiaobai wouldn’t have over-exhausted his vital energy, and now he has to stay in Shendu for half a year. You’re making things difficult for your son and your wife," Si Mingjing sighed.

Mo Yinhe: "..."

How was he to defend himself?

He lay down beside her, pulled her into his arms, and pinching her nose, said, "Who says Baitown City isn’t a sweet deal?"

"Sweet in what way? Give me an example," she challenged.

"There’s a mountain in the outskirts of Baitown City that the research team found contains a large amount of rare earth elements needed for manufacturing spacecraft. If we don’t acquire Baitown City, we won’t be able to develop these rare earths. If Gendaya Country’s team discovers and mines them, whether they sell them to me or to the Crown Prince, it’s all money." How could Mo Yinhe possibly make a losing deal? He was very shrewd.

"The Crown Prince has been thinking about establishing a spaceport lately, but some rare earth elements just aren’t available on the Mu Continent. What do you think? Is buying from other countries a sweeter deal? Or is it an even sweeter deal to directly take over the land with the rare earth mine, develop it as we please, and not have to pay a cent?"

Si Mingjing’s eyes lit up. She didn’t know much about the basic raw materials for the aerospace industry, but she was very interested. "What kind of rare earth elements? What are they?"

Mo Yinhe explained it to her.

"The rare earths in the area near Baitown City, their main component is Fluorocarbonate Cerium Mine, with the chemical formula (Ce,La)[CO3]F. It’s an important mineral raw material for extracting cerium group rare earth elements. The cerium group elements can be used for making alloys, enhancing the elasticity, toughness, and strength of metals. These elements are crucial components in manufacturing jet planes, missiles, spacecraft, engines, and heat-resistant machinery. They can also be used as protective shells against radiation..."

Si Mingjing smiled. "That sounds pretty good."

Both were meticulous planners. It would be foolish not to seize an opportunity for profit.

"Alright then," Si Mingjing said, brimming with confidence. "I’ve been wanting to develop medication for depression anyway, and I need a large number of clinical trial subjects. Since Baitown City is a sick city, I’ll just cure this sick city. It’s not that big of a deal."

She was tired. Closing her eyes, she leaned against Mo Yinhe and quickly fell asleep.

「The next day」

The couple took Xiaobai for another relaxing bath in the Dragon Pond.

Fengjue was incredibly fast and had already found a design team to work on those rooms.

Si Mingjing had described it simply: place a bed, a dressing table, and it would be habitable. However, after Fengjue inspected the rooms, he felt they were too crude and unbefitting of His Excellency and the Crown Princess Consort.

Therefore, he hired a designer and planned to renovate the Temple thoroughly.

Ye Nianbai really enjoyed bathing in the Dragon Pond.

It wasn’t just Xiaobai; even Bo Fengyin liked it.

It was like soaking in a hot spring.

Si Mingjing also basked in her son’s good fortune, comfortably relaxing in the Dragon Pond.

It felt like the whole family was on vacation, which somewhat alleviated Ye Nianbai’s gloom from being ill.

There was a stone table and stools next to the Dragon Pond. Mo Yinhe sat on a stone stool, leisurely sipping coffee, thoroughly enjoying the moment.

At that moment, Ye Nianbai exclaimed, "Mom, what are these characters?"

Ye Nianbai had discovered a line of characters on the wall beside the Dragon Pond.

These were ancient characters that Ye Nianbai didn’t recognize.

Si Mingjing swam over, stood in front of the stone wall, and scrutinized the inscriptions.

The carved characters were somewhat indistinct, likely due to their great age. She could barely make out that one of them was...

Before Si Mingjing could speak, Bo Fengyin interjected, "This dragon knows them!"

Although they were unclear, he could still make them out with careful examination.

"Why do you know them, but I don’t?"

Ye Nianbai, who prided himself on his studiousness and considered himself a little top student, didn’t recognize any of the characters on the wall.

Bo Fengyin’s eyes darted around. "Uncle forced me to learn them," he said. "These aren’t modern characters; they’re ancient ones. When Uncle made me practice calligraphy, these were the characters I wrote."

Ye Nianbai pursed his small lips. When Grandpa taught me calligraphy, why hadn’t he taught me these characters too?

So frustrating!

He hated the feeling of not recognizing characters; it was so frustrating.

Ye Nianbai asked again, "Then tell me, what does it say up there?"
