Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: Double Happiness Arrives
The yard was set with a small wooden table.
Long Santai took the seat of honor, Long Fei sat opposite him, and Lin Yingying and Wang Xiaoya sat on either side.
Widow Li was busy in the kitchen, about to start cooking.
Long Fei took out rice and Demon Beast Meat from the Secret Realm, all of which were top-notch items that he did not usually bring out, saving them to honor his grandfather when he returned home.
In the village, Li Fugui specifically assigned Widow Li to take care of Long Santai, with the village paying her salary every month.
Widow Li was one of the top beauties in Longjiawan Village when she was young.
Even as she grew older, she still retained her charm.
Though dressed simply in gray cloth clothes, she appeared spirited and energetic.
She also had nimble hands, skilled in mending, cooking, and farming.
Long Fei was quite satisfied with this step-grandmother and poured some fine wine he had seized from the Secret Realm for his grandfather, teasingly asking, "Grandpa, have you and Widow Li hit it off?"
Long Santai tapped his tobacco pipe on Long Fei’s head and whispered, "You rascal, don’t talk nonsense. As for your grandma, my feelings are deep and unwavering, unchanging until death. How could I betray her?"
Lin Yingying and Wang Xiaoya stifled their laughter, somewhat disbelieving him.
He even boasted to his granddaughters-in-law, "My dear daughters-in-law, this is the Long Family’s tradition. Regarding love, we are steadfast and unchanging, comparable to the legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. I believe my grandson is the same kind of man."
Lin Yingying couldn’t hold back her laughter; she really couldn’t stand this old man.
So old and yet so unserious, a completely different character from her own grandfather.
Wang Xiaoya lifted her cup, speaking earnestly to Long Santai, "Grandpa, I meant to visit you sooner, but due to unexpected circumstances, it’s only now that I’m officially meeting you. It’s my fault, so I’d like to offer a toast to you."
As she spoke, she lifted her glass and drank it down.
Long Santai laughed happily, "All is well now, let’s not bring up the past again. Grandpa doesn’t blame you, in fact, it’s grandpa who should apologize. If not for grandpa’s interference, Long Fei wouldn’t have left you in the first place."
He felt guilty toward Wang Xiaoya. Back then, eager for a great-grandchild, he firmly decided that Long Fei should marry Lin Yingying.
Mostly because Lin Yingying was eloquent, which he liked.
Now, seeing the gentle and amiable Wang Xiaoya, he finally understood why his grandson couldn’t let go of this granddaughter-in-law.
Long Santai told them to sit first, then rummaged around the house, and came out holding two Brocade Boxes.
Upon seeing them, Long Fei realized that these Brocade Boxes were made of fine wood that had aged over the years, and they were even emitting bursts of rich Wood Elemental Power.
This old fellow, actually hiding so many good things behind his grandchild’s back?
Long Santai placed them on the table, smiling and saying, "Yingying, Little Ya. In fact, grandpa has heard about your situation from Long Fei a long time ago. Before, when this issue couldn’t be resolved, grandpa felt uneasy about giving you family treasures. One for each, the other might feel slighted. But now that the problem is solved, it’s time for grandpa to pass on the family heirlooms to you."
He opened the boxes and revealed two identical golden bracelets.
They were engraved with phoenix patterns and archaic script, and at first glance, they were clearly extraordinary, definitely not from this world.
He separated the two, gave one to Lin Yingying and another to Wang Xiaoya, and explained, "These are truly ancient treasures from the Old Long Family, named the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets. There are a total of ten, one dragon and nine phoenixes. I am keeping the dragon patterned one for Long Fei. The nine phoenix bracelets were lost, leaving only these two, which are perfect, one for each of you. As for how to use them, grandpa is not sure, but they’re certainly extraordinary."
Long Fei felt secretly frustrated, thinking the old man was too cunning.
Having lived in poverty for so many years, just selling a few of the ancestral heirlooms, he could have been a second-generation rich boy.
Would he have had to pick up trash in the city if they had been used?
Lin Yingying and Wang Xiaoya excitedly picked them up and slipped them on their wrists, where the bracelets automatically adjusted in size.
A Mysterious Light flashed, and after enlarging to fit onto their wrists, they immediately shrank to a snug fit.
Lin Yingying came back to her senses and the more she thought about it, the less it made sense.
One dragon and nine phoenixes, but with the dragon pattern still in play, there being just two phoenixes left seemed too implausible.
Asserting the authority of the head wife, she reached out to the old man, "Grandpa, I have an objection. Your story’s got too much water in it. These bracelets have an innate attraction, they couldn’t be lost so easily. Hand over the remaining seven to me; in our family, only two phoenixes are allowed, having nine is impossible."
Wang Xiaoya pressed her lips tightly, finding sudden joy in being the second child, hiding behind Lin Yingying felt rather wonderful.
Long Santai slapped his lips, realizing he had misspoken, it would have been great to say "one dragon with two phoenixes", but he accidentally exposed the family’s wealth.
He thought to himself that this daughter-in-law was really sharp-witted, nothing could be kept from her.
He stretched out two fingers and said, "Ah, Grandpa just remembered, there are two more bracelets, I’ll give them to you for your wedding."
Lin Yingying chuckled and said, "I don’t believe it, if you’re going to give them, then give seven. Otherwise, I might not give birth to the Long Family’s grandson."
"What?"
Elder Long’s eyes widened suddenly.
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya were stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Yingying in surprise.
Lin Yingying looked at them with a smile and said, "What’s with that look?"
Elder Long swallowed hard and asked in astonishment, "My granddaughter-in-law, did you just say you’re pregnant?"
"Yes!"
Lin Yingying was calm, with a serious expression on her face.
"Aiyo, oh my goodness, blessings from the ancestors, I knew my eyelids have been twitching these past days, it turns out my Old Long Family is having a descendant!"
The old man slapped his thigh, ecstatic beyond words.
It wasn’t just about Lin Yingying wanting bracelets, even if it were a matter of life and death, the old man would have given anything!
He hurried into the house and rummaged through, bringing out all eight remaining boxes.
As for Long Fei’s Dragon Pattern Bracelet, he wasn’t given that; all were handed over to Lin Yingying, "Yingying, no more words needed. This is all our family has, it’s all yours now. Take good care of my great-grandson, and whatever you want Grandpa to do in the future, I’ll do."
Lin Yingying and Wang Xiaoya smiled at each other, opening the boxes one by one, their eyes gleaming with greed.
Long Fei kept giving his grandfather suggestive looks, thinking to himself, Old Man, can’t you be a little more shrewd?
What if this granddaughter-in-law is deceiving you, wouldn’t your joy be in vain?
He approached and reached out, taking Lin Yingying’s wrist to take her pulse, wanting to confirm.
Long Santai’s eyes widened, and he suddenly calmed down, realizing he had made a mistake, he should have verified the truth first!
Anxiously, he asked Long Fei, "How is it?"
Long Fei coughed twice, wiping away cold sweat, and hesitantly said, "It seems like she’s pregnant."
"What do you mean ’seems’?"
The old man, anxious, had Lin Yingying extend her hand so he could take her pulse himself.
He had taken a lot of tonics from Long Fei, and had condensed a Dantian, no longer being an ordinary person.
A stream of Essential Qi entered through Lin Yingying’s wrist, reaching straight for her Dantian.
Inside was murky Chaos Qi, it seemed as if life was throbbing, but it was inscrutable.
Lin Yingying said with a smile, "Did you verify it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?"
Long Santai raised an eyebrow and said, "It indeed seems like there’s a pregnancy, but why does it seem a little different from a normal person?"
Long Fei frowned and said, "Wrapped in Chaos Qi, this kid is extraordinary, isn’t he?"
Since he and Lin Yingying had different bloodlines, if it was indeed a pregnancy, the child born would certainly not be ordinary.
Elder Long released her hand, excitedly said, "She is pregnant, I can confirm it. Otherwise, there’s no way a fetal heartbeat would appear in the Dantian. Our family is really blessed with double happiness today, Grandpa must get completely drunk to celebrate."
He was sure, Lin Yingying was pregnant.
However, the child was strange, wrapped in a layer of Chaos Qi, impenetrable to both spiritual power and Essential Qi.
