MEIWITA Chapter 696: Meeting Father-in-Law

The main judge’s voice echoed incessantly in the competition hall.

There was a brief silence in the arena, then there was an uproar.

“Heavens! The champion’s really actually Lou Mu Yan, she’s only twenty-years-old!”

“A twenty-year-old intermediate-level grade 8 alchemist, I’ve never heard of anyone so pervertedly talented in history.”

“She’s definitely the number one alchemist among the younger generation.”

“No, even among the older generation, there might not be many people who are as talented as her in alchemy. The chief enshrined elder in my clan’s only a grade 7 alchemist.”

“Your clan’s chief elder can’t compare to Lou Mu Yan at all. At her age, she’s already reached intermediate-level grade 8 alchemist. With such talent, it’s very likely that she’d become a grade 9 alchemist in the future.”

“My ten million spiritual stones were lost just like this.” One of them wailed.

Many people then realised that they also bought Lan Ruo Shui as the winner, so many in the audience wanted to beat the ground with grief.

“HAHA…” Suddenly, someone laughed maniacally in the audience.

“Why’re you so happy?” The person beside him asked.

“When I went to the underground casino to bet, I mixed up the serial numbers of Lou Mu Yan and Lan Ruo Shui. I didn’t find out until after I bet all my belongings, and I was about to cry then, but they just wouldn’t change it for me.

“Fortunately, fortunately, the people from the casino kicked me out. Look.” The man continued to laugh wildly: “The Heaven’s haven’t abandoned me, I’ve made a fortune this time.”

“…” Right now, many people looked at this person with jealousy, envy, and hatred. Why did his luck have to be this good, this also worked? Why didn’t they accidentally buy the wrong one?

Feng Clan’s private room.

The Feng Clan’s Patriarch and other superior members of the Feng Clan were all completely stunned.

“Yan’er is actually an intermediate-level grade 8 alchemist?” The Patriarch of the Feng Clan looked at Feng Yue Xin in disbelief and asked.

Feng Yue Xin nodded with a smile: “Mm, she advanced to grade 8 alchemist after ascending to Guang’ling World.”

Towards her daughter’s fantastic ability, she was filled with pride.

“Good, good!” The Patriarch of the Feng Clan slammed the table excitedly, “Our Feng Clan has always been famous across the continent for our body-refining skills, who expected to have a bloodline with such excelling alchemy talent.

“Little Sister, you truly gave birth to a fantastic daughter.”

Feng Yue Xin jokingly glared at the Patriarch of the Feng Clan, “Eldest Brother, don’t get too carried away.”

“HAHA—”

Lou Mu Ting sat beside Feng Yue Xin and looked at his uncle and the others in amusement, wondering whether they’d go crazy or not if they knew that Yan’er could arrange arrays, smith, refine talismans, and brew spiritual wine.

The private room of the Ming Palace Royal Clan.

Ming Xiu glanced at his imperial brothers and said leisurely: “Admit defeat, take out all the bets you placed and give it to me.”

The others weren’t in a good mood, but they still forced a smile. Because there was Emperor Ming around, so after admitting defeat, they dug out their bets pretty quickly.

Although the bet was relatively high at the time, and it hurt to lose, but it wasn’t as painful as knowing that Ming Xiu found such a powerful future Princess Consort.

Originally, they thought that she was just a beautiful girl who ascended from the lower interface without any background or foundation, yet who knew that with a flip, she became the Feng Clan’s Feng Yue Xin’s daughter, and was now actually an intermediate-level grade 8 alchemist.

They also wanted to find such a Princess Consort!

“Old man, take out that fire essence.” Ming Xiu collected the bets of the others, then stretched out his hand in front of his old man.

Emperor Ming rolled his eyes at him in merriment, “You think lao’zi will cheat you or something.”

Then a small red ball appeared in front of Emperor Ming and was grabbed by Ming Xiu.

“Old man, how about you give a few more Ling’yuan Fruit.” Ming Xiu said with a smile.

Emperor Ming said with amusement: “Your wife’s an alchemist, why does she need Ling’yuan Fruit?”

Ling’yuan Fruit was the main ingredient for brewing high-level spiritual wine, and he still wanted to keep it for the royal family’s enshrined spiritual wine master to brew wine.

“Of course to brew wine.” Ming Xiu said with a proud smile.

“Brew wine? Your wife’s also a spiritual wine master?” Emperor Ming asked in surprise.

Ming Xiu’s lips hooked up and smiled happily: “Naturally.”

“Call your wife up later for me to take a better look.” Emperor Ming suppressed the brilliance in his eyes and smiled.

“I’ll go ask.” Ming Xiu also wanted to scrape some more things from Emperor Ming for Lou Mu Yan.

Emperor Ming said without a good attitude: “You’re so embarrassing, just go drag her up, why’d you need to ask.”

“I can’t win against mother-in-law.” Ming Xiu said lazily.

Emperor Ming also knew Feng Yue Xin’s temper, and joked rather helplessly: “Just keep indulging, in the future, your wife will sit on top of you.”

“I’m happy to spoil my wife to the sky.” Ming Xiu smiled carefreely, and was even enjoying it.

“…” Seeing such a son, Emperor Ming was speechless to the extreme. He was so hopeless.

The other princes also felt that they were just getting to know Ming Xiu for the first day. Their ninth younger brother actually knew how to please women like this, truly…

Lou Mu Yan received the voice transmission from Ming Xiu after obtaining the rewards of the championship, and after thinking about it, she decided to visit her future father-in-law.

After walking a few steps, she discovered Lan Ruo Shui’s deep and icy gaze which contained scrutiny and complexity in them.

“I will surpass you one day.” Lan Ruo Shui’s pride didn’t allow her to bow her head to Lou Mu Yan, but she still admitted the opponent’s strength in her heart, and she’d fight with the goal of surpassing Lou Mu Yan.

“Sure! I’ll wait for you.” Lou Mu Yan nodded.

Although she felt indifferent towards Lan Ruo Shui, but she still recognised Lan Ruo Shui’s strength, and with such an opponent as a constant reminder, she couldn’t relax herself either.

Then the two walked apart.

Lou Mu Yan had just arrived on the third floor when Ming Xiu came out of the private room.

“Yan’er, congratulations on winning the championship.” Ming Xiu took Lou Mu Yan’s hand and kissed her forehead.

Lou Mu Yan smiled like a flower and rubbed her head against Ming Xiu’s neck, “Thank you!”

“Follow me to meet Emperor Father.” Ming Xiu looked at Lou Mu Yan with gentle eyes and said: “As for the other princes and princesses, if you don’t like them, you can ignore them.”

“Sure!” Lou Mu Yan nodded. She had never been someone who would wrong herself.

With a smile like a spring breeze on his face, Ming Xiu pulled the stunning and charming Lou Mu Yan into the private room. The people present watched the two who were in perfect harmony both in terms of tacit understanding and aura, and they had to sigh that they were a match made in Heaven

The princes who were at odds with Ming Xiu felt very uncomfortable, especially the Second Prince.

The Second Prince had already married a Princess Consort, and be it in terms of family background or beauty, she was all superior to the princess consorts or concubines of the other brothers, but right now, when compared to Lou Mu Yan, she was inferior in every way, which filled him with anger.

“Lou Mu Yan greets Emperor Ming.” Lou Mu Yan walked up to Emperor Ming and saluted.

Emperor Ming smiled lovingly and said: “Sit.”

Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan weren’t engaged yet, so it’d be too early for her to call him Emperor Father.

Ming Xiu took Lou Mu Yan to sit down, then looked up at Emperor Ming and said: “Old man, you should give your daughter-in-law a meeting gift when you meet her right.”

“…” Emperor Ming twitched the corners of his lips. People said that a daughter was born for her heart to belong to her husband, and mainly dedicated everything to their husband’s family, but why was his own son born with his heart on his wife, basically wanting to fish out all his good things to give to his wife.

Random Note: HAHA I love the way MX and Emperor Ming just casually tosses out ‘wife’ and ‘daughter-in-law’ like that HAHAHA

Also last chapter for today!
