Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 434 - 221: Hostages, Nuptials Abound, Living City
"Thank you, Mother, for your concern. Jade Lotus and I are doing well. As for having children, Jade Lotus and I feel that it’s too early to have children now. I think about planning for children after Jade Lotus breaks through to Foundation Establishment."
Liuu Meizhen heard this and placed the teacup down lightly.
She said indifferently:
"Is this your idea or Jade Lotus’s suggestion?"
"Mother, it’s the thought of both Jade Lotus and me."
Brother Fan has managed miscellaneous affairs for many years.
At this moment, how could he not sense his mother’s slight anger? But since he is already married, family matters are decided by the couple, so there was no intent to retreat.
Liuu Meizhen seeing this, waved her hand:
"If there’s nothing else, you may go."
"Yes, Mother."
Brother Fan withdrew.
Liuu Meizhen watched as his figure disappeared into the distance, somewhat lost in thought.
Brother Fan has been cultivating the "Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill," and how he will establish his Foundation is an unknown factor. Under Brother Fan’s private resources, Jade Lotus has nearly broken through to the Peak of Qi Refining, and Foundation Establishment is hopeful:
"This child is still too honest."
Liuu Meizhen sighed faintly.
She got up and went to the Back Mountain Water Curtain Cave.
After getting married, Jade Lotus moved away from this place. When Liuu Meizhen arrived, she heard Yaoyao’s excited voice from afar on the second floor of the wooden building, "Mom, when did you come back? Honestly, you didn’t inform me in advance."
Saying this.
She rushed down from the second floor like the wind.
She embraced Liuu Meizhen tightly, just like when she was a child. Liuu Meizhen’s divine sense scanned, and her eyes brightened. Yaoyao had already broken through to the Peak of Qi Refining; Liuu Meizhen said with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, it seems you haven’t been lazy these past two years."
"Mom, I’m not Second Brother, how could I be lazy? Besides, Grandpa Yu keeps an eye on me every day, urging me to quickly break through to the Peak of Qi Refining. Even if I wanted to slack off, Grandpa Yu wouldn’t allow it."
Yaoyao led Liuu Meizhen to the Reception Hall to sit down.
She personally poured a cup of tea for Liuu Meizhen, chattering away like a hundred-spirited bird:
"Mom, I’ve got good news. Second Brother has also broken through to the Peak of Qi Refining. To think every day he eats, sleeps, sleeps, eats, unexpectedly, quietly nearly catching up with me. Humph, is this what Father usually says about playing the pig to eat the tiger? By the way, Second Brother is upstairs, now that you’re back, why is he still sleeping? Second Brother, Second Brother!"
"Stop shouting, your Second Brother has already gone into the mountains with Grandpa Fei."
"Ah, Second Brother doesn’t keep his word; when he emerged from seclusion, he clearly promised to take me with him when he went into the mountains again. Humph, let’s see how I deal with him when he returns."
Yaoyao huffed and puffed angrily. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Liuu Meizhen watched her daughter’s smile reaching her eyes.
At this moment.
At the entrance of the Reception Hall.
Nanny Liuu slowly walked in with Brother Fuu and Brother Qiang.
Brother Fuu and Brother Qiang had already reached the age to study at the Academy, looking as lovely as carved porcelain, though they were twins, they looked completely different.
The two courteously saluted Liuu Meizhen.
The smile in Liuu Meizhen’s eyes diminished significantly. She stood up directly and said:
"I’m going to find Uncle Yu to discuss matters, Yaoyao, prepare the family feast."
"Okay, Mother."
Yaoyao watched her mother’s head disappearing up the second floor and looked at the disappointed faces of Brother Fuu and Brother Qiang, feeling sorry.
Since the birth of the two younger brothers.
Mother hardly ever held them, let alone saw them a few times a year.
But she clearly remembers how, when they were young siblings, Mother used to serve them without rest; she wonders why Mother isn’t affectionate towards the two younger brothers.
Yaoyao stepped forward.
With a hand on each side, she took Brother Fuu and Brother Qiang’s small hands, speaking gently and warmly:
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, come, Third Sister will make your favorite thousand-layer cake."
Speaking of food.
The previously dejected Brother Fuu instantly smiled with narrowed eyes:
"Third Sister’s thousand-layer cake is the best."
"You’re such a little glutton."
Yet Brother Qiang still glanced longingly back at the second floor.
Nanny Liuu sighed deeply seeing this scene.
.....
Second Floor.
Liuu Meizhen entered Grandmaster Yu’s room and saw that the walls were already covered with hand-drawn maps compared to two years ago. Grandmaster Yu, his Qi-Blood was much more vigorous, and the aura he emitted had reached the Foundation Establishment Peak.
Upon seeing Liuu Meizhen entering.
Grandmaster Yu then put down the map he held.
The room was filled with maps.
Not even a place to sit:
"Meizhen, you’ve come back at just the right time. Yaoyao, Miss Qingru, and I have surveyed the territories of Yunshan County and Pingshan County, and the most ideal place to build a city is still Pingshan County’s territory."
"I’ve comprehended the City Construction Map that Changsheng provided."
"I plan to use the original foundation, applying the Seven-Star Quicksand Array principles of Luofeng Mountain. That Mountain Protection Array is said to be only Tier Two High-Grade, but the Seven-Star Quicksand Array draws Star Power from the heavens as the Array Operation Power, a large-scale defense array integrating both offense and defense. Without filling Spirit Stones, it can draw upon the Star Power to operate daily."
"Once the Star Stone is found, I can use this principle, lay down the City Construction Map provided by Changsheng, and extract the scattered spiritual qi from the Tier Three Spirit Vein to nourish the city. Over time, based on the City Construction Map, the city won’t have to worry about the array weakening due to the passage of time. On the contrary, as long as the Star Stone is enriched in the future, the city’s power can be enhanced..."
Grandmaster Yu rarely showed such excitement as he spoke of various insider knowledge about Array Dao.
Liuu Meizhen only understood the gist of it.
Grandmaster Yu added a sentence at the end:
"In short, if this city is constructed according to my idea, it will be like a living being, capable of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth like a cultivator and advancing."
This sentence.
Liuu Meizhen naturally understood.
However.
She was somewhat uneasy and said:
"Uncle Yu, besides the Star Stone you mentioned, are there any other special spiritual materials needed?"
