Chapter 985 Shen He: The disease is called love
Seeing how luxuriously Ningguang had decorated the Jade Pavilion, Shao Yun couldn't help but exclaim, "Ningguang really spent a fortune on this..."
Ying, holding her daughter "Xi", also expressed her opinion on the luxurious decoration.
"It feels a bit too extravagant... Although a child's hundred-day party is indeed important, this is a bit too showy."
However, Paimon's focus was entirely on food.
She hadn't eaten all day for today's meal, and her mouth was watering with greed. She said, "There should be a lot of delicious food! I can smell the delicious food!"
Shen He stood aside, looking at the grand Hundred Days Banquet in front of him, feeling a little worried.
She was worried that such a lively scene would scare the baby. After all, the child was too young and might not be able to adapt to such noise.
At this moment, Shao Yun's brother-in-law "Kong" began to back down.
After all, he is the prince of the Abyss Cult, and it is inappropriate for him to show up in public like this.
So, he said hesitantly to Shao Yun: "Brother-in-law, why don't I leave? You can take the child to celebrate the hundred-day banquet by yourselves."
When Shao Yun heard his brother-in-law was about to leave, he quickly grabbed him and encouraged him, "What are you afraid of? You're my brother-in-law, my daughter's biological uncle! What's there to be afraid of?"
He patted his eldest brother-in-law on the shoulder and continued, "Today is Xi's hundred-day banquet. What if you, as his uncle, are absent? What's the point of holding this hundred-day banquet then?"
Kong Xin was naturally eager to attend his niece's "hundred-day banquet", but what made him feel a little conflicted was that he just didn't feel used to such a public appearance.
"Well, I'm mainly worried about causing some unnecessary trouble."
Sora sighed softly, then lowered his voice so only the two of them could hear him.
"You should understand my concerns. After all, I am the prince of the Abyss Cult. It would be terrible if Morax caused trouble for me."
When Shao Yun heard that his brother-in-law was worried about being targeted by the God of Rock, he used his sense of humor and said self-deprecatingly, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. The biggest trouble in all of Liyue is right in front of you."
"I'm not even worried about Rock God causing trouble for me, so what are you worried about?"
Kong was amused by Shao Yun's humorous answer, and his mood relaxed a little.
"Haha, you, I finally understand why my sister likes you. You are quite good at talking too." Kong commented with a smile.
At this moment, Xiangling, who was full of energy, saw Shao Yun's family from afar.
Although Xiangling felt a little regretful when she heard that Shao Yun's daughter's hundred-day banquet would be held in Qun Yu Pavilion, after all, she still wanted to be the head chef at her daughter Ying's hundred-day banquet.
But soon, Ningguang sent her an invitation, which instantly made her happy.
He said that he needed help from a chef and specifically asked Xiangling to be responsible for the meals for Shao Yun's family.
It's like when you think there's no way out, suddenly you see another village with willows and flowers.
……
Xiangling walked quickly to the front of Shao Yun's family, with a bright smile on her face, and greeted them warmly:
"Yohoo? Mr. Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng, Shen He, and... who is this?"
Her gaze lingered on each person for a moment, finally landing on Ying's brother "Kong".
Shao Yun knew that this was Xiangling's first time meeting her brother-in-law, so he introduced him openly:
"Come, let me introduce you. This is my uncle! Ying's brother. I think Ying has mentioned him to you before."
Xiangling's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Kong carefully and found that there were indeed some similarities between his eyebrows and Ying's.
She clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Oh! I remember now. Those missing person notices posted all over the streets and alleys are talking about you!"
An awkward smile appeared on Kong's face. He hadn't expected to attract other people's attention so quickly.
He touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "Haha... I'm sorry, I did encounter some problems, but they have been resolved now."
After Xiangling exchanged a few words with Kong, she turned her attention to Ying and Shao Yun and said with a smile:
"No matter what, I still want to congratulate you two on the birth of your daughter!"
After hearing Xiangling's blessing, Ying smiled and said, "Haha, thank you very much."
……
After chatting with Xiangling, Shao Yun and his family dispersed from the venue and wandered around.
Shao Yun and Kong found a place to sit down and chatted while observing the crowds of people coming to the banquet.
On the other side, Ying was holding her child "Xi", followed closely by Paimeng and Shen He, and they were walking together in the Qun Yu Pavilion where the hundred-day banquet was held for the child.
At this moment, Xingqiu, the second son of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, who had arrived early for the banquet, saw Ying.
He walked quickly forward, cupped his hands and congratulated Ying: "Ying, congratulations on the birth of your daughter!"
Xi in Ying's arms suddenly made a babbling sound.
Seeing this, Xingqiu smiled and teased Xi.
When Paimon saw Xingqiu, he greeted him happily, "Xingqiu! Long time no see!"
Xingqiu looked at the enthusiastic Paimeng and replied with a smile, "Hello, Paimeng. It's been a long time since we last met. The last time we met was when we were rebuilding the Jade Pavilion."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Xingqiu curiously asked about Paimeng's recent experiences. Paimeng then talked incessantly about his and Ying's adventure stories, and Xingqiu listened with great interest.
Just when Paimeng and Xingqiu were chatting animatedly, a faint voice suddenly came from behind Paimeng.
"Paimon! Why don't you greet me warmly? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"Ah!" Paimon screamed and turned around quickly, only to see Kurumi standing behind her with a smirk on her face.
"I'm so scared! Walnut, why do you always like to play tricks on people?"
Walnut looked at Paimon who was frightened by her and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, Paimon is still such a coward!"
When Paimon heard Walnut's ridicule, his face turned red with anger. He pouted, put his hands on his hips, and snorted at Walnut to express his dissatisfaction.
Ying, who was holding her daughter, watched this scene and couldn't help but smile and greet Hu Tao, "Hello, Hu Tao, how have you been lately?"
Kurumi turned around, put his hands behind his back, and answered with a playful look.
"I'm so happy! Our guest official 'Zhongli' is finally back from his business trip. I felt quite lonely without him!"
Having said that, Hu Tao subconsciously looked at Zhongli who was about five meters behind her.
Zhongli was seen standing there with a dull look in his eyes, not knowing what he was looking at.
Hu Tao felt a little dissatisfied when she saw Zhongli sleepwalking.
She raised her voice and warned, "Keqing, what are you daydreaming about over there? Come over here!"
Zhongli, upon hearing Hu Tao's cry, snapped out of his trance. He took a leisurely walk to Hu Tao's side and explained apologetically:
"Oh, sorry, Master. I was a little distracted just now..."
Hu Tao looked at Zhongli, who was as stupid as a stick, and said nothing more. She scolded him, "Keqing, what's wrong with you?"
"Since you came back from your business trip, why do I feel like you've become a completely different person?"
Zhongli remained calm upon hearing this, and asked calmly, "Why do you say that, Hall Master? Am I still the same person as before?"
Seeing this, Hu Tao pouted and muttered about Zhongli's changes.
"Logically speaking, Ke Qing, when you see Ying, shouldn't you say a lot of well wishes to her in a very elegant way like you did before?"
When Zhongli heard this, he suddenly understood. He hurriedly bowed and congratulated Ying.
“May your gold be like jade on the mountaintop, which never withers in the frost; like pearls on the edge of the ocean, which become brighter when they encounter waves.”
Hu Tao finally smiled with satisfaction after hearing Zhong Li's flowery blessing. She laughed heartily and said, "Haha, that's more like it!"
"Lord Ningguang has invited us from Wangsheng Hall to attend Mr. Shao Yun's daughter's hundred-day banquet. Please don't embarrass us from Wangsheng Hall."
"Especially don't say anything weird!"
……
When Zhongli heard Hu Tao remind him not to say anything weird, he smiled helplessly and said softly:
"I think I should be the one to say this, my eccentric hall master."
Upon hearing this, Walnut retorted arrogantly, "Hey, hey, hey! Although this hall master may be a little eccentric, I still know what to say and what not to say in this situation!"
"I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid that your rigid way of speaking will spoil the fun of Shao Yun's family."
Zhongli smiled slightly. He naturally knew Hu Tao's character and understood that she was not really ignorant of etiquette, but was just too lively sometimes.
“I understand, I understand…”
Just as Ying and Paimon were chatting with Xingqiu, Hutao and Zhongli, a blue figure suddenly came over.
It turned out to be Shen He's nephew Chongyun. He walked up to Shen He and greeted him politely.
"Auntie!"
When Shen He heard his nephew's voice, he quickly turned around, a happy smile on his face, and responded: "Chongyun? Hello!"
Chongyun looked at his aunt and asked with concern, "Aunt, I went to Aozang Mountain to look for you a while ago. I heard from the Liuyun Immortal Family that you were sick. Are you feeling better now?"
Shen He recalled that because Ying, Paimeng and his goddaughter were kidnapped, the evil spirit in his body went astray and he almost died.
However, she has recovered now, suppressed the restless evil spirit in her body, and is now as good as new!
"Much better, I feel relaxed." Shen He said to Chongyun with a smile.
When Chongyun heard Shen He's words, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Then he curiously asked about the reason why Shen He fell ill.
After all, according to Master Liuyunjiefeng's description at that time, Shen He's condition seemed to be very serious, and he would not live long.
"By the way, how did my aunt get sick? What is the name of the disease?" Chongyun asked with concern.
A gentle smile flashed in Shen He's eyes, and she whispered four words.
"The disease is called love."
Strictly speaking, the reason why Shen He went crazy at that time was because of "love". He watched the person he loved leave him and became furious!
But Chongyun didn't know what Shen He meant by "love", and thought he was going to have an uncle-in-law!
"Ah? 'Love', what does that mean? Auntie, do you have someone you like?"
Shen He stretched out his right index finger, gently placed it in front of his mouth, blinked his left eye contentedly, and said, "Shh, a little secret."
"Anyway, I'm very happy now, aunt."
