Chapter 683 - 4: Tang Language’s Grandmother_3
Chen Lusi was silent.
Tang Language suddenly turned her head, her face red as she mumbled a few excuses, then suggested, "Maybe we should just go back..."
"..."
Chen Lusi looked at her flushed cheeks, remained silent for a while, and then sighed. He walked over to her and extended his hand: "I can’t understand those sighs of your kind, and even if your clansmen really said that, I should be the one nervous, not you."
Tang Language slightly raised her head and looked at Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi added, "Let me do the talking, don’t worry."
Only then did Tang Language extend her fair little hand and gently hold Chen Lusi’s hand.
Chen Lusi pulled her up and casually dusted off the dirt from her skirt.
Tang Language suddenly whispered, "My grandmother likes handsome men, especially humble handsome men."
Chen Lusi helplessly said, "Why are you saying all this? Do you really think I’m here for a blind date? And by saying this, aren’t you making your clansmen misunderstand even more?"
"Oh right."
Tang Language suddenly looked enlightened upon hearing this, but then quickly changed her tone sharply, "But if I don’t talk, I get nervous..."
"..."
Chen Lusi shook his head, not wanting to bother with her anymore, and took the lead, going up on his own.
Tang Language was momentarily stunned but quickly followed.
Chen Lusi stepped onto the platform near the mountain top.
Not far away.
A stone chamber with a very rustic style was standing... or maybe calling it a cave would be more appropriate.
He took a look and then directly walked forward, stepping into the cave.
"Well... he really is a handsome man."
Just as Chen Lusi walked in, a charming and sultry voice rang out.
After a brief change in light and shadow.
The scene inside the cave came into view.
Chen Lusi looked over and was momentarily stunned.
In the center of the cave was... a sofa.
And a woman draped in pure white gauze, dragging a mist-like skirt, was lying on the sofa. She looked just a few years older than Tang Language, possessing all the advantages of a mature woman, enchanting and full of charm, every move exuding a unique elegance of mature femininity.
She held a cell phone and was looking sideways at Chen Lusi.
Besides her on the sofa... there were also more than ten fluffy foxes.
But their fur was not as pure as Tang Language’s original form, with all kinds of colors, mostly red and yellow.
They were also watching Chen Lusi, their fox ears twitching, tails swaying, with curious red eyes.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Chen Lusi paused his steps, then couldn’t help but turn his head to ask, "Is this your..."
"Grandmother."
Before Chen Lusi could ask.
Tang Language came to his side and then shouted at the mature woman on the sofa.
Chen Lusi: "..."
He finally understood.
Why Ji Xin said no matter what the other party looks like, remember that she’s nearly a two-thousand-year-old fox.
... Two thousand years old???
... Tang Language’s grandmother???
She looked... younger than Tang Language’s mom.
And moreover... what’s with the sofa?
"..."
The mature woman glanced at Tang Language, whose cheeks still had a bit of red, nodded her head, then slowly put down her phone, sat up from the sofa, raised her voluptuous leg under the mist-like skirt, and crossed it over the other leg, looking up and down at Chen Lusi: "You are Chen Lusi?"
Chen Lusi came back to his senses, exhaled, suppressing unnecessary thoughts: "Yes, hello."
The mature woman slowly nodded, then again looked Chen Lusi up and down, softly said, "Hmm... within the top twenty."
"?"
Chen Lusi looked puzzled upon hearing that.
"Among the handsome men I’ve seen, you can rank within the top twenty."
The mature woman’s face showed a charming smile: "Mainly because your long hair adds points, after all, so many years of aesthetic can’t be easily changed, I still don’t understand why modern men like you want to look like monks, though it’s a bit better than the braids of the Qing Dynasty... but I’m not used to it.
Xia Yue got points deducted because of this... ranking only within the top fifty."
"..."
Chen Lusi was silent, understanding why Ji Xin said the entire clan of Tang Language is unreliable.
"Of course, you also got points deducted; had you come alone, I might have put you in the top ten."
The mature woman glanced at Chen Lusi’s shadow and continued: "Now that you’ve brought one, two, three... a total of four ’people’ with you, there’s no way."
Hearing this.
Tang Language looked around like a dumb deer and then strangely said, "Where are the people?"
Chen Lusi’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the mature woman in front of him.
This was the first time... someone noticed Lan.
He thought for a moment and asked, "You can see them?"
"I can."
The mature woman smiled charmingly again: "The little girl is quite cute, but seems not to like to engage."
"Then do you know...?"
Chen Lusi paused here, organized his words, "Then do you know what they’re all about?"
"Hmm..."
The mature woman elongated the tone, pondered for a moment, didn’t rush to answer but instead introduced herself suddenly, "I am Tu."
"...Tu?"
"Yes."
The mature woman... the mature woman who called herself Tu lightly swayed her voluptuous legs under the skirt, causing the skirt to flutter slightly: "Let me first ask, what’s your purpose of this visit?"
"To figure out what exactly my Authority Ability is all about."
Chen Lusi, although he didn’t understand why she changed the topic, still followed along with her words, replied: "And to persuade you to let Tang Language stay at the Celestial Strategy Mansion."
"The former, I cannot give you an answer."
Upon hearing this, Tu gently shook her head: "Though I can see them, and vaguely feel familiar, but what exactly they are, I cannot provide answers."
Chen Lusi slightly frowned: "Why not?"
"Because I am timid and inexperienced."
"..."
"Don’t find it odd."
Tu was gently swaying her legs, explaining: "I am known for being timid, and to live this long is entirely because of my cowardice, the aura of Yellow Springs pervades those four in your shadow, now facing you makes me feel scared.
So do you think someone as timid as I? Would take the initiative to participate in any major events? Could know about any major events?
Absolutely impossible.
So, I can only tell you a story... a story whose authenticity is unknown, which my mother told me.
I have also told Xia Yue this story.
About your matter, he once asked me, and I also told him this story."
Chen Lusi: "..."
"Legend has it, after Qin’s Conquest of the Six Kingdoms, the Yellow Springs which originally had numerous tributaries in the Xia Dynasty, only had one main flow left, and the other Yellow Spring Residual Veins were all abandoned.
As for where the abandoned Yellow Spring Residual Veins went, there are two theories.
The first theory is, they were buried along, currently located at Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.
The second theory is, after Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s death, the Western Han was established, and the Yellow Spring Residual Veins were transferred to the Nanyue Kingdom, which divided Lingnan, and then kept wandering within the country... and each time they reappeared, they would stir up a bloody storm."
Having said this.
Tu looked at Chen Lusi, lightly asked: "Hmm, which theory do you believe in?"
"You mean..."
Chen Lusi looked down at his shadow: "My Authority Ability is... that Yellow Spring Residual Veins?"
"No, as I said, it is just a story."
Tu shook her head: "For verification, you should go to Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum... asking me is useless, as I said, I am timid, inexperienced, cannot provide answers."
"..."
Chen Lusi remained silent, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"As for the second matter."
Tu stopped swaying her legs and looked at the bewildered Tang Language, who seemed to not understand: "You want Tang Language to stay at the Celestial Strategy Mansion, no problem, but I have one condition."
"What?"
Chen Lusi raised his head.
Tang Language also looked at her grandmother with great anticipation.
"Marry Tang Language."
Tu looked at Chen Lusi, her pale red enchanting eyes reflecting Chen Lusi’s figure: "Although she is a bit dumb, she should be a good wife."
Chen Lusi was somewhat astonished: "?"
Tang Language was taken aback, then subconsciously said, "Okay, okay."
"?"
Chen Lusi slowly turned back to look at Tang Language.
Tang Language was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, her face flushed red: "No, that’s wrong, it’s not good!!!"
