Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Meeting the Parents 3_1

Dugu’s elderly grandmother looked at her husband helplessly and gently reminded him, "Don’t think that you’re still young and can act recklessly. Even if you’re happy, drink less. Your health is what’s most important."

As soon as Dugu’s grandfather heard his wife nagging him again, he quickly waved his hand at her with a face begging for mercy, "I know, I know, my dear, given such a wonderful day, could you please nag me a little less, is that okay?"

Dugu’s grandmother shook her head with a helpless smile and turned to Shen Tianxing, saying with a laugh, "Little Tianxing, look at this old man’s temper. He can’t be criticized at all. Sometimes, I really don’t know what to do with him."

Shen Tianxing chuckled softly, "I actually very much admire the relationship between the old master and the grandmother. To be loving for a lifetime is not easy at all!"

Dugu’s grandfather immediately agreed with a face full of emotion, "Isn’t that the truth! I met her when I was fifteen, then we got married and had children. We’ve been together for fifty whole years now, what kind of storms haven’t we been through? The luckiest thing in my life is marrying this old lady, hahaha..."

Dugu’s grandmother felt touched by her husband’s simple yet life-long affectionate words. She glanced at Shen Tianxing somewhat shyly and teasingly chided her husband, "Look at you, rambling on in front of our guest!"

Dugu’s grandfather disagreed, "What guest? Little Tianxing is family. Oh, are we supposed to hide and hold back even in front of family? That would be a lack of trust, wouldn’t it? Little Tianxing, don’t you think so?"

Shen Tianxing and Dugu Zixi were watching the old couple bicker and couldn’t stop laughing.

Now, hearing the old master roping her in for support, Shen Tianxing quickly chimed in with a smile, "The old master is right, we are family. There shouldn’t be any secrets among us."

They could all tell that Dugu’s grandfather’s words carried a hint of testing Shen Tianxing.

Now, Dugu Zixi and the other members of the Dugu family were delighted to hear Shen Tianxing’s affirmative and accepting response, and they all smiled happily.

Dugu’s grandfather was even more delighted and laughed heartily, directly instructing Dugu Zixi, "Zixi, quickly pour us some drinks. I’m in such a good mood today, I really have to drink a few more glasses with your dad to enjoy it."

Dugu Zixi was still hesitant when Shen Tianxing said with a soft smile, "It’s okay, I’m here to keep an eye on things. Let the old master have a great time today."

On hearing this, Dugu’s grandfather liked Shen Tianxing even better, "You hear that? Tianxing says it’s fine, what else do you have to worry about?"

He felt that this prospective granddaughter-in-law was so to his liking, both in her actions and temperament.

Hearing Shen Tianxing say this, Dugu Zixi no longer hesitated and immediately picked up the bottle of cherished national spirit that his father had taken out from the old master’s collection cabinet, and poured a glass for his grandfather, his dad, and himself.

With the bottle in hand, Dugu Zixi also asked the grandmother, his mother, and Tianxing, "Grandma, mom, Xingxing, would you like some too?"

Dugu’s grandmother said with a smile, "We’ll pass on the liquor. Let’s have some juice instead!"

Dugu Zixi agreed and was about to fetch the juice when he heard Shen Tianxing say, "Xixi, come here, let grandma and auntie also taste the juice I’ve made."

Shen Tianxing directly took out a large bottle of Immortal Peach Juice, weighing about ten jin, from the Lifespace and had Dugu Zixi pour some for the three women.

When the Dugu family saw Shen Tianxing conjuring items out of thin air like that, their eyes all widened in unison.

But then they remembered, she is a Little Fairy after all, so using such spells isn’t surprising.

Just like with Zixi, how she had teleported him away, disappearing from the room, and then they had just appeared here out of nowhere, right?

Members of the Dugu Family felt their hearts growing stronger as they came to accept more and more of the magical and fantastical happenings around them.

Dugu Zixi smiled as he took the Immortal Peach Juice that Shen Tianxing had offered, and said to his grandmother and mother, "Grandma, Mom, this Immortal Peach Juice is made by Xingxing using a secret method. Drinking it regularly can strengthen the body, maintain health, and beautify one’s complexion. Having a glass every day will be very beneficial for your health."

The Dugu Family matriarch and Ye Ningning, upon hearing this, grew even fonder of Shen Tianxing.

The Dugu Family matriarch smiled, her eyes crinkling with joy, "Oh, Little Tianxing is so thoughtful."

She and the old master both held the same thought, feeling that Shen Tianxing, their prospective granddaughter-in-law, was truly to their liking.

She was capable and had a good temperament; truly a rare find!

Ye Ningning also said with eyes full of smiles, "Xingxing, thank you!"

Shen Tianxing smiled faintly, "Grandma, Aunt, you are both too polite."

The Dugu Family patriarch was the first to raise his glass and said to everyone, "Let’s raise our glasses together to welcome Little Tianxing to our home as a guest. We also hope that in the future, Little Tianxing will regard our home as her own and come back often. Now, let’s all drink to this!"

Everyone lifted their glasses in unison...

Shen Tianxing also raised her juice, and with a smile brimming with warmth, said to them, "I also wish the old master and the matriarch good health, and I hope my uncles and aunts have smooth sailing at work and that everything goes well for them, and I wish Zixi’s abilities will continue to soar higher and higher."

"Very good, very good..."

Dugu Zixi laughingly watched the endearing Shen Tianxing and after clinking glasses with the family, he made a point of clinking glasses with her separately, saying to her, "I also wish for Little Xingxing to become more and more beautiful and for her abilities to reach ever greater heights."

Shen Tianxing gave him a glance with a smile, and the two of them, in sync, tilted their heads back and downed their drinks, one his glass of wine and the other her glass of juice.

The Dugu Family matriarch warmly beckoned to Shen Tianxing again, incessantly offering her dishes, "Come on, Little Tianxing, you must try these dishes. These are your aunt’s specialities; before you arrived, she was busy preparing the banquet with Auntie Fu."

Shen Tianxing looked at the regal Ye Ningning sitting across from her with some surprise, "So, Aunt made all these dishes? Then I must eat a bit more."

Shen Tianxing picked up a piece of sweet and sour spare ribs and put it in her mouth.

The taste was perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, whetting one’s appetite.

Shen Tianxing was pleasantly surprised that the lady of this wealthy family could cook, and she wasn’t a person whose fingers never touched spring water, but rather, her culinary skills were excellent.

Shen Tianxing sincerely praised, "Aunt’s cooking skills are truly amazing! Mmm, delicious, very delicious."

Seeing that Shen Tianxing enjoyed eating her cooking, Ye Ningning was also delighted. Like the matriarch, she began to serve her various dishes, "Here, try these too. They’re also quite good."

Shen Tianxing saw her bowl overflowing with food and hurriedly said to the matriarch and Ye Ningning, "Grandma, Aunt, please stop serving for now. Let me finish these first, okay?"

The Dugu Family matriarch laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, just help yourself, no need to be polite. Feel at home, and eat whatever you like."
