Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Meeting the Parents 2_1

All members of the Dugu family rose to their feet.

They looked at Dugu Zixi, holding hands with Shen Tianxing, who descended the stairs enveloped in a celestial aura and unspeakably refined beauty, with curiosity and respect. Their faces broke into excited and delighted smiles, and they welcomed Shen Tianxing with the warmest attitude.

As the elders of the Dugu family, the patriarch and the matriarch happily stepped forward on behalf of everyone to greet Shen Tianxing, "Welcome, Little Fairy, to our home as a guest!"

The Dugu matriarch was exceptionally pleased as she looked at Shen Tianxing, brimming with spiritual energy.

She was happy that her grandson had found such a beautiful and capable young girlfriend and naturally was very enthusiastic toward Shen Tianxing, "Welcome, Little Fairy, come sit here!"

Dugu Zixi quickly introduced Shen Tianxing, "Xingxing, these are my grandfather and grandmother, and those two are my father and mother."

Then, he introduced Shen Tianxing to his grandfather, grandmother, and his parents, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, this is Little Fairy, her formal name is Shen Tianxing, from Suzhou."

Shen Tianxing gave the patriarch, the matriarch, Dugu Jun’an, Ye Ningning a look each, then bowed slightly with a smile and said, "Greetings to all the elders! Tianxing is grateful for the warm welcome from the patriarch and everyone here."

The Dugu matriarch replied with a smile, "Little Fairy, no need to be so polite, come over and sit down."

The Dugu matriarch kindly stepped forward to take Shen Tianxing’s hand, and she did not refuse the old lady’s goodwill, allowing herself to be led to the sofa to sit down.

Seeing that everyone in the Dugu family called her "Little Fairy," she quickly took the chance to respond to the matriarch’s words, and said to them, "Matriarch, please don’t call me Little Fairy anymore, it seems so distant. Just call me Tianxing, is that alright?"

The Dugu matriarch, delighted that Shen Tianxing wished to be close to them, responded with a laugh, "Alright, alright, then I won’t be polite in the future and will directly call you Tianxing."

Once everyone had taken their seats, Shen Tianxing took out the gifts she had prepared for the Dugu patriarch and the others from her bag and said with a smile, "These are some modest gifts I’ve prepared for you all. Please kindly accept them."

Dugu Zixi, who sat beside her, quickly took them from her.

He then took out the Protective Jade Pendants from inside, and personally hung them around the necks of his family’s patriarch, matriarch, father, and mother.

After he had put them on for them, Dugu Zixi solemnly said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, these are Protective Jade Pendants, truly priceless treasures that money can’t buy. Wearing them not only will keep you in good health, warding off all illnesses, but they also provide a defense so strong that not even bullets can penetrate. Please never take them off, and don’t give them away to anyone else, understand?"

When the Dugu patriarch and the others heard of the amazing efficacies of the Protective Jade Pendants, they were all deeply moved and looked at Shen Tianxing with gratitude, thanking her in unison.

The Dugu patriarch said excitedly, "Little Fairy, this gift is too precious! How could we ever reciprocate?"

The Dugu matriarch also held Shen Tianxing’s hand tightly, moved, "Little Fairy, this gift is really too valuable! How can we ever thank you enough?"

Shen Tianxing playfully pointed at Dugu Zixi and said with a laugh, "Patriarch, Matriarch, you don’t have to stand on ceremony. Zixi is the best recompense you could give me."

Hearing this, both the matriarch and Ye Ningning laughed heartily as a couple.

The Dugu patriarch laughed even louder and said, "Hahaha, that’s a good recompense! From now on, our Zixi will be given to you! Just pack him up and take him home!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing the old master’s wishful joke, hoping for Dugu Zixi to be with Shen Tianxing for a lifetime.

Dugu Zixi feigned displeasure and said, "Grandpa, how could you do this? Just for such a small benefit, you’ve sold me out?"

Old Master Dugu glared at him, "What do you mean by ’a small benefit’? Your life was saved by the Little Fairy. There’s an old saying, ’A life saved should be repaid with one’s own life in return.’ Understand?"

Upon hearing the phrase ’repaid with one’s own life in return,’ Dugu Zixi’s handsome face instantly turned red with embarrassment, "Grandpa, please stop joking around!"

But the Old Master Dugu did not let him off the hook and continued to tease him, "Oh, look at you blushing! Hahaha, it’s indeed rare to see this side of you, my boy!"

Shen Tianxing and the rest of the Dugu Family, watching this grandparent and grandchild bantering back and forth, laughed uncontrollably as well.

Dugu Zixi quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa, Grandma, here are some Nourishing Pills and Beauty Retaining Pills, also gifts from Tianxing. If you take one Nourishing Pill each year, I guarantee you’ll stay in good health. Grandma and Mom can have a Beauty Retaining Pill, and you’ll look at least ten years younger."

The Old Master Dugu, the Old Madam, Dugu Jun’an, and Ye Ningning, upon seeing that Shen Tianxing had prepared not only the Protective Jade Pendant but also these Spirit Pills, were overwhelmed with emotion.

They all knew well that these items were stuff of legends and had long been lost to the world.

Yet Shen Tianxing had generously provided something for each member of their family, making them feel somewhat embarrassed to accept such generous gifts.

Dugu Zixi understood the complex emotions of gratitude in his family’s hearts. Little Xingxing’s gifts were indeed too valuable, and even though they were a leading affluent household, they felt they had nothing of equivalent value to offer in return for Shen Tianxing’s profound affection and kindness.

He cleverly shifted the conversation as well, "Mom, is our meal ready yet? Xingxing and I haven’t eaten, and we’re both hungry. Let’s start the meal. We can chat more after we’ve eaten!"

Ye Ningning caught her son’s cue and immediately smiled, "That’s right, that’s right, I almost forgot. The meal is ready. Tianxing, let’s sit down and eat."

Shen Tianxing gave Ye Ningning a sweet smile, "Thank you, Auntie."

Ye Ningning chuckled, "What’s there to thank for? Come back home with Zixi whenever you have time, and I’ll cook something delicious for you."

Facing Ye Ningning’s friendly overtures, Shen Tianxing graciously accepted, smiling and saying, "Sure."

Seeing Shen Tianxing’s amiable nature, and realizing that she was not aloof and unapproachable like other recluses, the Dugu Family felt both surprised and delighted.

While they admired Shen Tianxing’s formidable abilities, had her temperament been arrogant and difficult like that of a typical recluse, they would have preferred to revere her from a distance rather than have her as a daughter-in-law in the Dugu Family.

Fortunately, Shen Tianxing’s temperament turned out to be unexpectedly amiable.

As a result, the prospect of marriage between their Zixi and Tianxing became something they genuinely looked forward to, hoping the young couple would soon find happiness together.

For this reason, everyone in the Dugu Family was pleased.

The Old Master Dugu seized the moment to say with a laugh, "Zixi, go get my bottle of national wine that I’ve cherished for twenty years. Today, as we’re in such high spirits, I want to have a few extra glasses with your dad."
