Chapter 545 Not a trace of spiritual energy
Zhao Haoxuan's ears seemed to be equipped with radar. When he heard that Wang Jing's family had finally turned their attention to them, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately jumped up from the sofa.
"Your son-in-law greets your aunt and uncle!"
He stood upright, his hands pressed tightly against the seams of his trousers, a respectful and enthusiastic smile on his face, and bowed deeply.
Wang Jing stared at Zhao Haoxuan for a long time, her eyes full of doubt.
Turning to look at Wang Xinyao, his brows furrowed slightly: "He is..."
Wang Xinyao reached out and affectionately took Zhao Haoxuan's arm, her face beaming with joy.
"Auntie, look at my memory, I forgot to formally introduce you!"
This is my husband, Zhao Haoxuan. These two people next to him are his great-uncle and great-aunt; they are my most beloved elders!
After saying that, she immediately turned to look at Zhao Shun and Madam Yu, speaking in a coquettish tone.
"Grandpa, Grandma, this is my aunt, uncle, and... and my mom~"
Zhao Shun and Madam Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing the satisfaction in each other's eyes, and quickly stepped forward with smiles.
Zhao Shun clasped his hands together in a respectful gesture.
Madam Yu nodded in greeting, her tone incredibly warm.
"Hello, aunt and uncle, hello, mother-in-law!"
I've heard Yao'er mention you all before, and seeing you today, you're all indeed very kind people!
Gong Li stood up from the sofa, her eyes sweeping over the faces of the group, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
I'm happy that my daughter has found a good husband, but I also have mixed feelings about how she was listed last when my daughter introduced her.
But she quickly composed herself, forcing a slightly stiff smile and speaking gently.
"Hello... I can finally put my mind at ease now that Yao'er has found a reliable home."
With revenge achieved and family reunited, this should have been a day of great joy for everyone.
Wang Xinyao unconsciously looked out the window, where the shadows of the trees swayed. She suddenly remembered that she would be suppressing the soul of "Scorpion" in four days.
The heavy responsibility weighed on my heart like a boulder, and my earlier joy instantly vanished.
A thin layer of sweat seeped from my back, and my fingertips felt slightly cool.
There was also a vague, inexplicable unease, like a needle prick, so quick it was almost an illusion.
Zhao Haoxuan keenly noticed the slight stiffness in her arm and the darkness in her eyes.
He subtly took half a step forward, his warm hand gently covering the back of her cool hand, and leaned close to whisper in her ear:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what happens, I'll take care of it."
The tension in Wang Xinyao's heart eased slightly.
My aunt's villa is really spacious and bright, with three floors and a garden, and seven or eight guest rooms, which are spacious and comfortable.
Wang Xinyao thought to herself, there are still four days before the soul is suppressed, so why not stay here and spend some quality time with her aunt whom she hasn't seen in a long time?
"Okay, Auntie, we'll stay here tonight and have a good chat with you!"
Luo Xiaoyu had no intention of leaving. After going through so much, she cherished her lost lover even more and wanted to stick to Li Bin and never leave him.
Seeing how clingy she was, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but tease her, "Xiaoyu, if you don't go home tonight, won't your mother be chasing after you and yelling at you?"
Luo Xiaoyu's smile faded, and she pouted helplessly, her tone full of relief.
"Don't worry, cousin, she won't dare to do it again!"
Ever since that bastard Liu Xiaogui was arrested, the police have recovered all the 500,000 yuan in dowry she had received, scaring her half to death.
They took my brother and fled back to their rural hometown overnight. Before leaving, they held my hand and gave me countless instructions.
I'm determined to snag Li Bin, this golden bachelor, no matter what! I can't let him slip away!
At this point, she took a deep breath, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her dress.
With a mixture of trepidation and anticipation in her eyes, she slowly looked at Li Bin.
Wang Jing and Li Mohua, who were standing to the side, also spoke with slightly trembling voices.
"Li Bin, Uncle and Aunt, I know that what my mother did made you suffer..."
"With a mother like this, I wonder if you would still be willing to accept me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Bin strode forward, grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly, and looked at her with determination and deep affection.
"Xiaoyu, are you stupid? I love you for who you are, not your mother!"
"Let's put the past behind us. If you're willing, we'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"
"Bin'er! What nonsense are you spouting!" Wang Jing suddenly raised her voice and scolded.
Luo Xiaoyu trembled in fright, her eyes instantly turning red. She quickly raised her chin and bit her lip hard to stop the tears from falling.
Oh no, her aunt still dislikes her family.
But the next second, the anger on Wang Jing's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a smile.
She strode forward, grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's other hand, her grip gentle yet firm.
"Silly boy, such a good girl, just getting a marriage certificate isn't enough."
We need to have a big, grand wedding so everyone knows you're the daughter-in-law of the Li family!
She patted Luo Xiaoyu's hand, her tone exceptionally sincere.
"We're overjoyed that you and Bin'er are truly in love, how could we possibly look down on your family?"
Our family can afford the bride price your mother wants!
If you don't like going back to your parents' home in the future, then go back less often.
This will always be your home, and you will always be the most beloved daughter-in-law in the Li family!
Li Mohua nodded repeatedly, her smile gentle: "That's right, don't think about anything else, we're family from now on!"
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt... I will definitely live a good life with Li Bin!"
Luo Xiaoyu could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.
It turns out that her aunt wasn't looking down on her; she actually wanted to give her a grand wedding!
"Still calling us uncle and aunt?" Wang Jing deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be angry: "Yao'er has changed how she addresses us, are you trying to disown us?"
"Dad, Mom! Brother, Sister-in-law!" Luo Xiaoyu's cheeks flushed red.
Then she changed how she addressed everyone present.
Everyone was amused by her shy appearance, and their faces were full of gratified smiles, creating a warm and lively atmosphere in the living room.
That night, everyone in the villa was fast asleep, and moonlight shone through the clouds onto the roof.
Chen Qingfeng, Zhao Haoxuan, Zhao Shun, Yu Niangzi, and Wang Xinyao tiptoed to the roof, the tiles beneath their feet slightly cool from the night dew.
Zhao Shun spoke first, his voice low: "Yao'er, you called us here in the middle of the night, is it something important?"
The smile on Wang Xinyao's face had vanished, and her expression was as heavy as if weighed down by lead.
She raised her hand to rub her temples, her tone heavy: "Grandpa Emperor, Grandma..."
Since you intend to stay on Earth, there's something I must make clear to you.
This place is different from our previous little world. Back then, most people died from starvation, freezing, or even minor illnesses like colds.
Although this place boasts abundant food, advanced technology, and state-of-the-art medicine, it is a vast world devoid of even a trace of spiritual energy!
"No spiritual energy?"
Zhao Shun and Yu Niangzi subconsciously tried to sense the energy in the air, then both clenched their fists in disappointment.
If they stayed on Earth, although material things and life would be more convenient, it would also mean that their cultivation would stop there.
Their expressions instantly turned serious.
Wang Xinyao paused, her throat tightening slightly, and reached for her phone.
His fingers flew across the photo album, and he pulled out an old photo and handed it to everyone.
"Look, this is my former aunt! Wasn't she plump and elegant? But now she..."
As she said this, a tear fell onto the back of her hand, its chill piercing.
"In less than two years, cancer ravaged her beyond recognition!"
This is all thanks to my aunt's wealthy family and my uncle's top-tier provincial hospital; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to wait for me to come back.
Those from impoverished families who get cancer rarely live more than three months; some don't even have the chance for treatment!
"So short?" Zhao Haoxuan's face was full of disbelief.
In the world of cultivation, even if one is seriously injured, one can slowly recover by absorbing some spiritual energy.
How come people here die so quickly after getting sick?
Everyone else frowned and fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere on the rooftop instantly became oppressive.
