Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday-Chapter 413: Her eggs.
"The best part of the prank was when we convinced you to write a letter of apology to the Bobcat." Rose brought up another thing that they had mostly forgotten.
Muyang chuckled strongly reaching for his phone. He would never forget the letter because after it was written, he graded it and made comments in shaky unreadable writing, pretending that the Bobcat had responded.
At dinner, Jun Yi had tried hard to convince everyone that the Bobcat had replied to her letter. Naturally, nobody believed her because a Bobcat could neither read nor write.
"I was the one that replied as the Bobcat." Muyang admitted.
This time, Jun Yi laughed along with everyone. It was the kind of laughter that came from shared history and fond memories that would never die.
Jun Jie had been recording all the happy laughter and he sent the video and pictures to his mother along with the words, "If you don’t come soon your daughters will convince your husband to join them in a prank that might have international consequences."
He said this because it had happened once, when they were children. They had escorted the Emperor to France for a diplomatic tour. Muyang and the girls went out for a break during one very long conference and they ended up dyeing a snow white chicken pink.
It turned out to be the mascot for the French royal family!
The prank was not appreciated.
He was worried the waterfall would turn blue or green if his father and sisters continued chuckling and sniggering like a group that was in the midst of conspiring.

Back at home, Chi Lian briefly looked at the message and switched off her phone. It was not the time to call her husband and ask him what he was laughing about with their daughters.
She had not yet made it to Australia because she was on a mission. Chi Lian had been on many missions and seen many weird things in the world but there were those that would always stand out in her mind and Jingling Island was one.
Mingzhe was the one that put the facts together gathering details from the information found on the ring Mei Mei had stolen. He had even narrowed down the location of what seemed to be an unregistered biotech facility hidden on an isolated island in the South sea.
He put together a team of Imperial soldiers and she put together a team of royal agents. As they barely knew what to expect, they had packed a lot of guns and all the fire power they could think of.
Altogether, there were one hundred and two elite agents and soldiers going for the mission. They dressed in camouflage and covered their faces with masks. They had just landed on the island when she saw the message.
"Is everything good?" Spider asked her.
She nodded. "Alright," She spoke into a tiny microphone near her mouth. "All the security on the island has been disabled so we can move forward. However, if you see any four legged creatures, no petting or kissing."
The island looked innocent, lush and beautiful but it was dangerous.
"Not even if it’s cute?" Someone asked.
"Especially if it is cute. In fact, shoot thrice if it is cute." She answered.
Spider smirked. Cute things were always traps and his boss knew this all too well.
A small red fox came out of the forest, jumped on Chi Lian’s back and settled in the open bag on her back. Its head took up position on her shoulder and it made a few sounds.
"There is a hatch in the sand ten feet away, we will breach through it."
She led the way and the others followed, moving stealthily as they made their way closer to the cliffs. Chi Lian found the hatch and broke it open. It was rusted on the outside, and even more on the inside. A sign that nobody had used it in a very long time.
Inside, the smell of metal was heavy and the air was cold. Darkness covered everything and they switched to night vision goggles.
"No lights." Chi Lian whispered into the microphone.
Even though the elite men and women knew this, she still reminded them in case someone decided to do something stupid.
They walked for twelve minutes and slowed down when they saw a door. Some came to a stop but Chi Lian did not. She pushed the door open and fired her gun once. No sound was made, not even when the person she shot fell to the ground.
Spider pushed ahead of her and then more agents poured in, two or three at a time.
"Is that a lizard with horns?" Spider asked, peering at the monstrosity in the what was clearly an enclosure and not a lab.
Chi Lian threw out gas canisters and smoke rose in the air.
"We are not here to waste time figuring out what is what around here. Our job is to get my eggs." She whispered to him.
"You mean arrest the workers here and destroy what is Sword Island 2.0." Spider raised his brows.
"I said what I said." Chi Lian replied, unloading her gun in the body of the lizard until its head separated from the rest of its body.
Somewhere close, the imperial soldiers were doing the same thing she was doing with every abnormal creature they came across.
Chi Lian and Spider separated from the rest of the group, searching for the central vault where T4 was certain the eggs were being held. Their hands did not stop firing and releasing gas wherever they passed. It was the kind of gas that would knock out anything for thirty six hours.
She blew the vault doors open and it made a loud bang.
"Thank you C4." T4 laughed. He was a proud father that had stolen a lot of explosives from his son.
Chi Lian rushed inside the vault. There were many other things within. Things in cages, things glass chambers and things in deposit boxes. None of them caught her eye, only three enormous eggs that were sitting in what looked like a nest of mixed colored grass.
"My eggs." She whispered.
"You that they will never hatch, right?" Spider asked her.
Chi Lian rubbed her hands and then she waved them and the eggs disappeared. "Maybe not today or in my lifetime but I have faith that someday perhaps, something extraordinary will happen. I will pass them on to a worthy heir when I am dying someday. Think of it as generational wealth."
"Or a generational curse." Spider countered with a shrug.
