Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Should I Call You Brother-in-law or a Hypocrite?
"Lingyin, be patient."
Shen Zhengye blocked Shen Lingyin as she tried to rush into Jiang Xinghai’s bedroom. "Don’t disturb him. We’ll have an answer soon. I guarantee it’ll be a pleasant surprise, at the very least."
Shen Lingyin was at a loss for words and could only nod silently. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Just as I guessed!" freeweɓnøvel.com
Soon enough, Jiang Xinghai came out with a look of pleasant surprise. "Uncle, Lingyin inherited Auntie’s constitution! She’s a Spirit Body, too!"
"That’s wonderful!" Shen Zhengye smiled in relief.
Qiao Huimin blushed slightly.
"What does that mean?" But Shen Lingyin still didn’t understand.
"Lingyin, your constitution is very special, far beyond that of a normal person. This is your gift. You must never speak of it to anyone else. It must stay between us, or else greedy people will get wicked ideas," Jiang Xinghai warned her solemnly.
Then, he looked at Qiao Huimin. "Auntie, the same goes for you. Otherwise..."
"I’m at my age... would people really have wicked ideas about me?" Qiao Huimin asked in shock.
"Auntie, not to mention how young you look, but a female Spirit Body is a nearly unobtainable treasure to men, especially those in Martial Arts. And the benefits from dual cultivation are multiplied exponentially," Jiang Xinghai said bluntly.
"But, your uncle and I have been married for many years, and there’s never been anything special." It certainly took a lot of courage for Qiao Huimin to say such a thing in front of her two daughters.
"That’s because Uncle doesn’t understand the Bedroom Technique." Jiang Xinghai’s voice was extremely low this time, mindful of the relationships between everyone present.
Even so, Qiao Huimin felt extremely awkward. Just as she was about to turn away, she suddenly asked again, "Then, what about Lingxue’s constitution?"
Shen Lingxue was looking at Jiang Xinghai with eager anticipation.
Shen Lingyin suddenly remembered something. "That’s right! I remember you took a drop of my sister’s blood a long time ago. Did you already know?"
"Lingxue’s constitution is even more special."
Jiang Xinghai had no intention of hiding it; he would have had to tell Shen Lingxue sooner or later. "The king among Spirit Bodies—the Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned silent.
The king of Spirit Bodies among all special constitutions!
"Sis, you’re even more incredible than I am!" Shen Lingyin threw her arms around Shen Lingxue.
Clearly, Shen Lingxue also hadn’t expected her constitution to be so special.
"AHEM... AHEM..."
At this moment, Shen Zhengye cleared his throat. "Er, Lingxue, you’re not getting any younger. Pick a date and get engaged to Jiang first."
"Get engaged?" Shen Lingxue was dumbfounded.
Shen Lingyin, however, grew anxious. "Dad, I know people fall in love and get married, but my sister and he haven’t even dated yet, and you want them to get engaged?"
"What do you know, little girl? Go on to bed." Shen Zhengye wanted to send Shen Lingyin away. After all, Jiang Xinghai and Shen Lingxue had already done the deed—what was there to hesitate about?
But Shen Lingyin refused to leave.
"Dad, I’m going to bed." Shen Lingxue, however, chose to leave on her own.
She even shot Jiang Xinghai a deliberate glance.
"Lingxue, wait a moment."
Shen Zhengye knew the difficult position Jiang Xinghai was in. He pulled Shen Lingxue aside and whispered, "It’s fine if you don’t get engaged, Dad won’t force you. But since you two already belong to each other, why not have a baby first?"
"Dad, what are you saying?!" Shen Lingxue, her face beet red, rushed into her bedroom. As she slammed the door shut, she shot Jiang Xinghai a fierce glare.
Even Shen Zhengye blushed a little.
’Seriously!’
’What kind of outrageous things was I just saying?’
’I’m a father! How could I suggest something like that to my daughter?’
"Old Shen, what did you say?" Qiao Huimin hurried over.
"I said... since the two of them have already done the deed, even if they don’t get engaged right away, they should at least have a baby..." Shen Zhengye slapped his forehead, realizing now that his words had been out of line.
"Oh, you. If anyone’s going to say something like that, it should be the mother," Qiao Huimin chided.
Shen Zhengye nodded in embarrassment, then looked at Jiang Xinghai. "Jiang, why don’t you head to bed. We’ll talk more tomorrow."
"Okay. Good night, Uncle, Auntie." Jiang Xinghai shook his head with a smile and went into his bedroom.
’He hadn’t expected Shen Zhengye to be so blunt.’
’Even if Shen Lingxue had wanted to get engaged, she probably wouldn’t have admitted it after her father’s direct proposition.’
"Xinghai, you’re not asleep, are you?"
A short while later, Shen Lingyin’s voice came from outside Jiang Xinghai’s bedroom.
"Not yet. What is it?" Jiang Xinghai was just about to take off his clothes and shower.
"You haven’t showered yet, right? You’re still dressed?" Shen Lingyin asked again.
Jiang Xinghai just opened the door. "Lingyin, you needed me for something?"
Seeing that Jiang Xinghai was dressed, Shen Lingyin slipped into the bedroom and shut the door behind her.
"Lingyin, barging in like this isn’t a good look. What are you trying to do?" Jiang Xinghai stumbled.
Shen Lingyin had practically thrown herself at him.
"So, should I call you ’brother-in-law’ now? Or should I call you ’hypocrite’?" Shen Lingyin continued to press forward, step by step.
Jiang Xinghai fell back and landed on the bed.
But Shen Lingyin wouldn’t let it go. She put one knee on the bed and kept leaning in.
