Chapter 215 A Strange Dinner, A Letter from Korea
This was Ying Jing's most relaxing night. When the morning light woke him through the window, he lingered on the bed for a long time, reluctant to leave.
Xiao Yan'er and Jing Ni are long gone, and it seems their daily routines are very regular.
He lay on the couch for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
His gaze wandered throughout the spacious bedroom, and suddenly he caught sight of the ivy trellis by the window, with the ivy entwined around the tassel of the Jingni sword, and the ceramic bell beside it jingling softly in the breeze.
The fact that Jingni Sword could be so casually tossed aside shows just how much Jingni has changed.
“That bell was just randomly hung on Xiaoyan when she was learning to walk. She liked it so she never took it off.”
Before anyone knew it, Jingni had returned, carrying a wooden tray in her hands.
"As for learning to walk, I've missed quite a few opportunities..."
Ying Jing sighed inwardly and finally got up from the bed.
"My husband, let me help you wash up. It's time for breakfast."
As if knowing Ying Jing's temperament, Jing Ni brought out a sumptuous breakfast. The aroma of the meat porridge was so enticing that it whetted one's appetite as soon as the lid was opened.
This scene immediately surprised Ying Jing slightly.
"The warmth of everyday life is what truly comforts the human heart..."
For a fleeting moment, Ying Jing even wished that time could stand still, not wanting to break this peace and tranquility.
But, it was only for a moment.
At this point, he has no choice but to continue down this path.
"A few of the men who came to the manor yesterday were not in good temper. Did any conflicts occur?"
While having breakfast served by Jing Ni, Ying Jing enjoyed the delicious meat porridge, but he had to speak up and break the peaceful atmosphere.
Jingni smiled faintly: "Husband, there's no need to worry. Miss Feiyan is very kind, and the others all listen to her."
Is Feiyan kind?
That's because you haven't seen her when she's having an episode.
However, Ying Jing also knew that Fei Yan should not repeat that incident.
Besides, to be honest, Jing Ni is just not competitive; she is a woman who came from the Luo Wang organization and is not someone to be trifled with.
Having mastered the "Domain," Jing Ni is now an undisputed master of the sect's level.
Among the women around Ying Jing, she is now the strongest. Even Fei Yan has not yet reached this level.
However, in this world, when it comes to actual combat, there are no specific realm divisions. Even the strongest masters are still mortals. The Yin-Yang School's unorthodox sword techniques and various strange curses require even top masters to be extremely vigilant in dealing with them.
Just like back in South Korea, Gongsun Long was a top-tier master, yet he still lost to Fei Yan by a single carelessness.
“Miss Feiyan is very capable. She made Yanlingji and the others very obedient. Since Xiu Niang is not in the manor, Li Wu welcomed them out of respect for me.”
"It's good that you all get along. As for Feiyan..."
In this regard, Ying Jing still chose to let them handle it themselves.
They're all smart people, and they know their limits!
"Where's Qianqian? Why wasn't she mentioned?"
Although she wasn't very noticeable, Ying Jingke didn't forget Wei Qianqian.
After all, Wei Yong, this father-in-law, now wields absolute power in the State of Wei!
“Miss Qianqian received a letter the day before yesterday, and she has been in a bad mood ever since. If you have some free time, you might as well go and see her.”
Jingni stirred the soup with her delicate hands and said softly.
Bad Mood?
Ying Jing frowned, then nodded thoughtfully.
"No rush, let's go see Xiao Yan'er first!"
Jingni did not object, and a gentle smile appeared on her flawless face: "Xiaoyan'er usually plays in the garden at this time, and Liwu is looking after her."
The Changxinjun residence covers a vast area, with an artificial lake, rockery, garden, and lawn in the backyard.
When Ying Jing saw Xiao Yan'er, she was staggering around the garden chasing a red dragonfly.
Li Wu stood to the side, holding a flute, with a black cat perched on her shoulder.
Compared to when they first met, the black cat that danced was quite old, and its fur was no longer as soft.
Moreover, they had become much fatter, after all, the food at Lord Changxin's residence was quite oily and juicy.
"what!"
Upon seeing Ying Jing's figure, Li Wu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Ying Jing's absence wasn't actually for very long, only a few months.
However, since following Ying Jing, she had never been separated from him for such a long time.
These days, she has been counting down the days, eagerly awaiting the return of her lord.
"I am back."
"Your Majesty has lost some weight."
Li Wu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and was about to throw herself into Ying Jing's arms.
But then, a child's innocent voice made her stop in her tracks.
"Falling down..."
With a smile on her delicate, pretty face, Xiao Yan'er toddled over.
Ying Jing squatted down, picked up the little guy with one hand, but did not ignore Li Wu beside him, and also hugged her.
Hehe~ Hehe~
Laughter filled with childlike joy echoed through the garden. Li Wu watched from the side, while an old cat, its fur thinning, perched on her shoulder, licking its paws.
It looks more like a family of three plus a pet.
What a harmonious scene.
only……
Jingni, who was worried that Xiaoyan'er might not recognize her father and follow him, quietly stood on one side of the sea of flowers.
Watching the three of them enjoying each other's company, a ripple suddenly spread through the heart that had been content and never competed since Xiao Yan'er was born.
She had a strange impulse.
Perhaps, she should retrieve the Jingni Sword now.
Ying Jing has already discovered Jing Ni's existence, but he can't let go of her either.
So, he chose to cheat.
The purple mist dissipated, and in an instant, he was already beside Jingni, holding Li Wu and Xiao Yan'er in his arms.
Two beauties on the left and right, with Xiao Yan'er sandwiched in the middle, it's just right.
Just don't let anyone else come!
"Let's not go over there and cause trouble for our husbands..."
In the distance, Fei Yan smiled faintly and stopped Yan Ling Ji and Nü Ying, who wanted to join in the fun.
The two women were somewhat indignant, but they managed to restrain their impulses, clearly having already suffered at Fei Yan's hands.
Seeing that the two had given up, Fei Yan then turned her attention back to Ying Jing.
On her stunningly beautiful face, the corners of her lips were gently curved upwards.
"Going to use the power of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, it seems my husband is really having a headache!~"
With Fei Yan around, Ying Jing's life was indeed much easier.
Throughout the entire day, Ying Jing stayed with Xiao Yan'er, Jing Ni, and Li Wu without being disturbed.
When it came time for dinner, prepared for the inevitable death sooner or later, Ying Jing simply gathered everyone together.
Except for the embroiderer who hasn't returned yet, all the women in the mansion have arrived.
Three women make a drama, but now, so many women...
However, this was somewhat unexpected for Ying Jing.
Although the atmosphere was eerie, it didn't turn into the intense battleground I had imagined.
Nongyu, Liwu, Madam Hu, and Wei Qianqian were all people who did not compete or fight; they simply ate their meal quietly.
The moon goddess was perhaps still somewhat confused, and she remained quietly alone in a corner.
Characters like Honglian, Yanlingji, and Nüying don't have as many scruples.
"My husband...try this!"
"Master, I made this dish, please try it..."
Faced with this awkward atmosphere, the benevolent Jing simply picked up Xiao Yan'er and held her in his arms, teasing her...
Feiyan and Jingni, on the other hand, both had faint smiles on their faces and even whispered to each other, appearing to get along very well.
In any case, this nerve-wracking dinner ended in an incredibly "harmonious" manner.
But Ying Jing's peace did not last long.
That very night, a piece of intelligence from South Korea quickly pulled him out of this cozy feeling.
