Chapter 1837 A Grand Family Reunion
"Sister, sister!" Over here, Long Ze had already arrived at Ruan Yu's door.
Ruan Yu thought no one would come looking for her so late, so she went into her spatial dimension to refine medicine.
Hearing the commotion outside, she finished refining a batch of pills and left through the space.
"Long Ze, what brings you here?" As soon as she opened the door, she saw Long Ze looking at her with teary eyes.
Ruan Yu felt goosebumps rising all over her body.
What's going on here?
"Little sister, this is for you." Long Ze walked into the room naturally, went to the table, and took out one treasure after another from his spatial ring.
"Here, this is for you too."
"And this one, it has the effect of warming and nourishing the body, it couldn't be more suitable for you."
Ruan Yu: "?"
What did he hear? Why is his attitude so much better all of a sudden?
Although things were fine before.
"I don't need it..." Before Ruan Yu could finish refusing, Long Ze interrupted her, seeing the magical artifacts piled up like a small mountain on the table.
"What don't you need? You use it!"
"For so many years, I never knew I had a younger sister. You have no idea how much I've wanted one." Long Ze chuckled foolishly. "Little sister, I didn't know you existed before, but now that I do, I'll definitely treat you even better."
"Don't refuse. It's only natural for a brother to give something to his sister."
Ruan Yu felt ashamed.
But she's not his sister!
The master is really something, why would he tell such a lie out of the blue?
"Hurry up and accept it, I won't be able to sleep if you don't," Long Ze urged.
Ruan Yu had no choice but to accept it, but she was too embarrassed to take Long Ze's things for nothing. After thinking for a moment, she took out two bottles of pills and stuffed them into Long Ze's hands.
These two bottles of pills are so potent that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they have the power to bring the dead back to life. As long as a person has a breath left, they can revive them.
Long Ze was unaware of the effects of the elixir, and simply took it as a token of Ruan Yu's goodwill.
Holding it in his hands with obvious affection, he asked, "Little sister, are you an alchemist?"
"Ah."
"Wow! You're amazing!" Long Ze praised sincerely.
Alchemists must possess both fire and wood attributes, while he only has a single metal attribute.
Ruan Yu twitched her lips. He praised her for being amazing without even checking the grade of the pill? Seriously? Long Ze probably had a bias towards her because of their "sister" relationship.
“Little sister, your parents said you were born with poor health, so they sent you away to be raised in a warm environment. It’s been hundreds of years since then, and they’ve only just brought you back. Are you… unhappy?” Long Ze asked cautiously.
He actually wanted to ask whether Ruan Yu resented her parents.
Ruan Yu raised an eyebrow. "The head of the Long family and Madam Long are also conspiring to deceive Long Ze?"
"I won't be unhappy." She's not really a descendant of the Long family.
Why should we talk about being happy or unhappy?
Long Ze assumed Ruan Yu was forcing a smile. "Sister, you've suffered all these years. Now that you're back home, Father, Mother, Grandfather, and I will love you unconditionally."
"Alright, it's getting late, you should get some rest."
Long Ze glanced at the deep night outside the window, then turned to say goodbye: "I'll take you to get acquainted with the Long family tomorrow."
Ruan Yu escorted him to the door, watching his figure disappear into the moonlight, before softly saying, "Long Ze has left; it's time for the two of you to show yourselves."
In the shadows, the head of the Long family and his wife were stunned for a moment before revealing themselves.
"What a perceptive little girl!" The Dragon Clan Head's admiring gaze fell on Ruan Yu.
Madam Long stared blankly at Ruan Yu's almost perfect face.
Long Ze arrived a while before the two of them came. Separated by a room, even with the door open, they couldn't see the scene inside very clearly.
Now that they have seen Ruan Yu's appearance clearly, the two of them feel that describing her as a "celestial being" is not an exaggeration.
“Patriarch Long, Madam Long.” Ruan Yu had only sensed that the aura of these two people was somewhat similar to that of Long Ze, so she assumed they must be Long Ze’s parents.
Seeing them in person now makes me even more certain of my answer.
Long Ze looks so much like the two of them! His face shape, mouth, and nose are like they were made from the same mold as the head of the Long family, and his eyebrows and eyes are like Madam Long's, gentle yet heroic.
For some reason, the two men were very fond of the little girl they had just met: "Father said you are our child, so from this moment on, we will treat you like our own daughter."
Madam Long presented Ruan Yu with the gift she had prepared for their first meeting.
Knowing she couldn't refuse, Ruan Yu readily accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you, Patriarch Long, Madam Long."
"Should we still call them Patriarch Long and Madam Long?" Madam Long asked with a playful smile.
"...Father, Mother." Ruan Yu blushed.
After calling out those two names, her face burned even hotter.
"Hey!"
"Oh! My dear daughter!" Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately beamed with joy.
Especially the head of the Long family, whose eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, said, "I'm a man with a daughter now!"
Madam Long nudged the head of the Long family lightly with her elbow.
The latter realized what was happening and took out the Secret Realm Feather from her spatial ring: "Yu'er, your grandfather asked us to bring this to you."
“This…” Ruan Yu did not immediately take it.
She already knew the importance of the Feather of the Mystic Realm from the four elders. Although her master had two Feathers of the Mystic Realm, she really shouldn't have taken something so important.
"Take it, Yu'er. You are also a member of the Long family." Madam Long seemed to have seen through Ruan Yu's thoughts.
He shoved the Feather of the Secret Realm into her hand.
Yes, she's also a member of the Long family. Her master and his family have been so good to her; even if she goes to the Blood Sea Secret Realm and finds a great opportunity there, she won't keep it all to herself.
With that in mind, Ruan Yu accepted it without any qualms.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with his new parents, and once the three of them were sufficiently familiar with each other, the head of the Long family and his wife reluctantly departed. "Yu'er, Mother will come to see you again tomorrow."
As she was leaving, Madam Long held onto Ruan Yu's hand tightly.
She really adored this girl; she was beautiful and had a lovely voice...
"Okay, Mother, go back and rest now."
Ruan Yu coaxed him for a while and finally got him to leave.
"Hmph." Huo Yun emerged from the space, arms crossed, puffing out his cheeks in anger.
"In one day, you gained four grandfathers, a pair of parents, and an older brother. You're something else."
Ruan Yu: "Are you jealous?"
Huo Yun was filled with questions: "???"
"What am I jealous of? I'm worried about you! I'm afraid you'll be deceived!"
They blindly claimed kinship without even conducting any investigation.
Ruan Yu smiled and said, "It's good that I don't lie to others." Besides, she had received so many valuable gifts, so if anyone should suffer a loss, it should be someone else.
"..." Huo Yun fell silent, as if it were indeed the case.
His worries were unnecessary.
Huo Yun was sulking because she was angry with Ruan Yu. For Long Mingyu's sake, she had actually locked herself in her spatial dimension! All she did was insult Long Mingyu!
They didn't know his identity before, so what's wrong with him swearing? Besides, it was Long Mingyu who played them first.
