Chapter 1067: Shen He, the Wife's Contentment
Shao Yun looked at Xitlal's eyes that were flashing with the "gossip spirit", and then he realized belatedly that the "mother and daughter" he had just blurted out had indeed caused her to misunderstand.
He quickly waved his hands, explaining with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I admit that what I said just now might have been a little misleading... But, Ying is my only wife, and Shen He is my child's godmother!"
He paused, looking at Xitlari's still curious expression, and added, "The specific circumstances are a long story, involving a lot of past events."
"But for now, all you need to know is that Shenhe is my family."
When Xitlari heard that Shao Yun's daughter had a godmother "Shen He" who would come to live with them in Nata, the excitement on her face instantly faded. She curled her lips, feeling very disappointed.
"Oh, I see. I thought it was like one of those Yaedou light novels, where a brave warrior wins the hearts of a princess and her fellow female knights, and then there's the 'clam pregnant with twin pearls' plot."
When Shao Yun heard this, he froze in place as if he had been struck by the lightning of the third generation Thunder God 'Yao Shenzi'.
He stared at Xitlal and was speechless for a long time.
No, why is it a light novel again? The cultural influence of Inazuma's light novels is too much, it's even seeping into Nata!
"You should read less light novels!" Shao Yun held his forehead, feeling helpless.
"I'm speechless. This kind of plot can only be seen in novels..." He really couldn't think of how to complain.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun felt it was not enough and began to talk about it like he was listing his own treasures.
"Some people use light novels as a source of intelligence; others treat stories in novels as history, and now you're using light novels to speculate about my family relationships."
"I seriously doubt that Yae Miko wants to unify Teyvat with light novels!"
(Yaejinko: Cultural victory, boy!)
The more Shao Yun talked, the more outrageous it seemed. He couldn't help but mutter, "No, I can't let my daughter read so many light novels in the future. Otherwise, who knows what she'll become."
Finally, Shao Yun's thoughts drifted to his daughter, and he began to think about the future education of his child.
He frowned and muttered quietly, "We need to pay more attention to the child's education from now on. Should we leave him to Yuan Shang? Or would it be better to let the elders of the Xuanmu tribe teach him nearby?"
"The people of the Hanging Wood Tribe can teach children many practical survival skills..."
"Yuan is well-educated and can broaden the child's horizons! He won't be illiterate like me..."
……
The system sensed what Shao Yun was thinking and popped up a prompt box to complain:
[Your child is still breastfeeding! You should start thinking about letting him go to school.]
[No wonder Katsina looked at you like a bad guy just now. You are really bad to the core.]
……
At this moment, after listening to Shao Yun's complaints about her bringing the light novel plot into real life, Xitelali stuck out her tongue, a proud expression on her face, and said:
"Lululu, you're so manly and have a face that's so attractive to girls. Otherwise, why would I have so many associations?"
Then, Xitlari seemed to remember something, and suddenly lowered her voice, moved closer to Shao Yun, and brought up the old matter:
"Besides, even Mavica has fallen in love with you. This is obvious to all. The Holy Night Journey weaving that the Night God gave you has Mavica's name on it! This proves that she must be very important to you!"
When Shao Yun heard what Xitlalli said, his head buzzed, and he instantly recalled the contents of the embarrassing confession letter that Mavica had burned to ashes. He waved his hand awkwardly and said impatiently:
"Go away, stop talking nonsense here. Is there something wrong? If not, leave immediately, or I'll take you to the construction site as a laborer and let you experience what it's like to dig foundations!"
When Xitlalli heard that Shao Yun wanted to make her a "coolie", she immediately took a half step back cautiously, looked at Shao Yun suspiciously, and muttered softly:
"Hey? You really want to use me as a laborer! I'm here to visit you, not to work."
She looked Shao Yun up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Besides, aren't you close to Mavica? She's done so much for you, and you treat me, her friend, like this?"
Shao Yun was speechless after being asked this question. He could only sigh helplessly, thinking to himself that this Xitlari was really talking about things that were not related to the topic and kept saying things that embarrassed him.
……
Now Shao Yun really didn't want to talk about his relationship with Mavica in detail. This topic would only make him more embarrassed.
He quickly changed direction and asked with a frown, "What else do you want to do now? If you don't have anything, just leave quickly and don't cause trouble here..."
Xitlari folded her hands behind her back and swayed slightly, revealing the boredom typical of young girls. She glanced left at the busy construction site, then right at the Hanging Woodman tribe built on the cliff in the distance. Then she suddenly turned her head, winked playfully at Shao Yun, and said,
"Since you can't see your wife, and I see you're bored, why don't you play a game of Seven Sages Summons with me?"
When Shao Yun heard that Xitlari wanted him to play Seven Saints Summons with her, his head buzzed and he instantly recalled the bad experience he had when he played with her before.
"You should go play with my wife. She's much better at this game than I am..."
Shao Yun subconsciously refused and started to mutter to himself again.
"How about teaching Xitlalli to play Texas Hold'em, or maybe Blackjack? Those seem pretty interesting, and more suitable for me than the Seven Summonings... Forget it, let's not do that. What if she gets interested again and pesters me to play?"
……
Just when Shao Yun was debating whether to accompany Xitrali to fight the Seven Holy Summons to kill time, suddenly, a white-haired female figure holding a swaddling baby appeared on the sand not far away, and was slowly walking towards the construction site of the ranch.
The figure appeared particularly clear in the sunlight, and the long silver-white hair fluttered gently with the steps. Shao Yun looked closely and saw that this was Shen He.
Moreover, she was now wearing the "ranch girl outfit" that Qianzhi had specially prepared for her.
The white long skirt fell to her ankles, and the hem swayed gently as she moved. The wheat ear pattern embroidered on it shone with a delicate luster in the sunlight, exuding the scent of the fields.
The corset at the waist just holds the fluffy skirt in place, outlining her slender waist. She wears a light beige open-necked jacket over it, making her look both comfortable and neat.
However, Shen He did not wear the exquisite jewelry prepared by Qianzhi. She probably thought those things were too complicated and did not suit her simple personality.
Shen He walked slowly, holding the child in his arms, to the construction site. His eyes paused for a moment on the busy scene, then turned to Shao Yun and said softly, "Mr. Shao Yun."
Shao Yun looked at Shen He carrying the child and came here with a bit of surprise on his face. He asked curiously, "Shen He? Why are you here? Aren't you resting in the House of Burnout?"
Shen He lowered his head and glanced at the goddaughter in his arms, his eyes were very gentle, and he said softly:
"Bring the kids out for a walk. This morning, Ying and Paimon told me that this is where we'll be living in the future, so I thought I'd take a look and get familiar with the environment."
Shao Yun nodded and understood instantly.
Indeed, I got home too late last night and didn’t have time to talk to Shen He in detail.
She must have been looking forward to seeing it with her own eyes for a long time. After all, this is where they will live for a long time, so it is always good to get familiar with it sooner.
"By the way, have you changed into new clothes?" Shao Yun's eyes swept over Shen He and suddenly shifted the topic to the "ranch girl suit" she was currently wearing.
At this moment, Shen He is wearing this "ranch girl outfit", with the baby in her arms, she exudes a strong "wife feeling", gentle and quiet.
If someone who doesn't know the situation takes a quick glance, they would probably think that Shao Yun and Shen He are a loving couple.
Shen He saw Shao Yun's attention was on her new clothes, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said shyly:
"Well, Ying asked me to try it on before she went out. She said that I should get used to life in Nata." She twisted her body a little embarrassedly as she spoke.
Shao Yun nodded, no longer paying too much attention to Shen He's clothes, but instead turned his gaze to his daughter "Xi" in Shen He's arms, and his tone became gentle.
"My precious daughter, have you been good today?"
Xi, who was held in Shen He's arms, seemed to understand what her father said. She opened her crystal blue eyes, clenched her little fists and stuffed the food into her mouth. While eating, she looked at Shao Yun with a smile. She looked very cute.
At this time, Xitlari, who was standing by, looked at Shen He, who was holding the child, and asked curiously, "Shao Yun, is this lady the godmother of your child?"
Shen He, holding his goddaughter, looked at Xitlalli, tilted his head slightly, and greeted politely, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Sitrali coughed lightly twice, straightened her back, and introduced herself with a bit of pride:
"Ahem, little sister, I'm the great shaman 'Sitrali' of 'Smoke Master', also known as the Obsidian Grandma. I'm quite famous in the land of Nata."
Shen He looked Xitrali up and down, his gaze lingering on her somewhat childish face for a moment, and he felt very strange about calling her "Grandma".
The Xitrali in front of me clearly looks like a young girl, with bright eyes and lively expression. Why would she call herself "Grandma"?
Shen He frowned slightly and wondered in his heart, could this be a special address habit on Nata's side?
Just when Shen He was still confused about Xitlalli's self-proclaimed name, Xitlalli had already walked up to Shen He and looked curiously at the child in her arms, who was Shao Yun and Ying's daughter.
"This is your daughter!" Sitrali looked at the little one in the cradle with sparkling eyes. "She looks so cute, this little thing."
"Looking at the size, she must be four months old, right?" She couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration as she spoke.
Shao Yun stood aside and saw Xitlari praising her daughter like this. As the child's biological father, he felt so happy in his heart that a proud smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Yes, she's four months old, but she's still at the milk-drinking age."
Sitrali stretched out her finger, gently touched the little girl's cheek, and teased her for a while.
The little guy didn't seem to be shy either. He was tickled to the point of babbling and even kicked his arms and legs a few times.
After playing for a while, Xitlari stood up and said to Shao Yun and Shen He, "Look, it's windy under the sun. Don't let the children get caught in the wind."
"My home is not far away. Why don't you come over to my house, have some juice and take a break?"
She said this sincerely, saying it was for the sake of the child.
Since they were bored anyway, Shao Yun and Shen He agreed to Xitlalli's suggestion...
