"Room.."
"How come no one woke me up"
Shen Li had already woken up while rubbing his still sticky eyes.
"Thankfully it was morning. I'm afraid that mom's gonna scold me"
He got out of bed and took a shower. After that, he went out of the room to eat breakfast.
Upon arriving in the dining room, he did not find a single person there.
"Some, where are they? don't they have breakfast?" Shen Li spoke to himself and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Shen Li decided to go look for her father and mother while touring the residence.
"The sun is also still orange, not too high"
In the end he saw uncle Ru was engrossed in fishing by himself in the pond behind the residence. At a glance a sneaky idea seeped in his mind, and began to show the look of his cunning face.
Shen Li then walked quietly towards Jia Ru who was still focused on her fishing rod while whistling a little. He then made a thread of energy so thin but so strong that he hooked it onto Jia Ru's fishing hook.
Then Jia Ru found that the bait had been eaten by fish and then tried to raise it, it appeared that the arch of the fishing line was quite sharp which signified that the fish was quite large.
"Hahaha, we'll have dinner with the big fish tonight hohoho"
But the unexpected happened, Jia Ru justro found himself dragged around on the surface of the vast pool like a boat because of Shen Li's nosy behavior.
He laughed so heartily at the edge of the pool that his stomach became cramped. Jia Ru who was still being dragged here and there realized that if Shen Li was laughing out loud with satisfaction, he also realized that this was Shen Li's act.
"Shren Lrri!! Drrasar anrrak nrakral" Shouted Jia Ru whose mouth was constantly flooded with incoming pool water.
Jia Ru finally tried to break away from Shen Li's not-so-strong bond. After succeeding, he immediately disappeared and appeared at Shen Li's place.
Yoke!!
Yoke!!
Yoke!!
Shen Li found a crushing blow on his head and face from Jia Ru. The look of his face became ugly which was full of bumps and bruises in his eyes also seen his lips swell like a duck.
"Haha! Satisfied you bad boy! huhh!" Said Jia Ru pleased because she managed to repay Shen Li's arrogance earlier.
"Phamhan is too khejam" said Shen Li not too clearly because of his swollen lips.
"Your bunny! Who started it!" Reply Jia Ru snorted.
The two of them finally laughed together, momentarily forgetting their respective burdens. Shen Li then healed her face that had become ugly because of Jia Ru.
"Hey brat, what are you doing here?" Asked Jia Ru.
"Ehehehe, I'm just looking for mom and dad, but because I found my uncle first my feet automatically turn towards uncle" Shen Li replied without sin.
"Another softening I will make your face a duck, huhh." Jia Ru said as she clenched her hands in front of Shen Li's face.
"Ehehehe, no-no don't do that uncle, did you beat this handsome me?" Shen Li's reply was heartbreaking but laughable to Jia Ru.
"Li'er!!" Jia Ru began to growl holding back her anger from being played with by Shen Li.
"Ehh, not uncle. Ahaha" Shen Li scratched the back of his head like one did not know wrong.
"What are you really here for?" asked Jia Ru.
"I just wanted to ask uncle, did uncle see mom and dad leave?" shen Li.
"They are going to the imperial palace because of the Emperor's invitation" Jia Ru replied.
"Ehh?! early in the morning like this?" Asked Shen Li plainly.
While Jia Ru who heard Shen Li's words became furious and visible veins on her face were visible.
Yoke!
Yoke!
Yoke!
Shen Li again found her face to be ugly from being beaten up by Jia Ru again.
"For your eyes! It's been a bad boy's afternoon!" Said Jia Ru who was still clenching her hands and looked like smoke was still billowing.
While Shen Li was again lying down after being beaten by his uncle again, which he immediately healed him quickly in shock and immediately jumped to his feet.
"Heh?! UHHHH?!! Why didn't anyone wake me?!" Shouted Shen Li while scratching both of his cheeks to his knees.
"You savages don't take me to breakfast" continued Shen Li's gloomy look on his face like a lackey.
"Haha! You alone sleep like a buffalo" Reply Jia Ru mocked Shen Li.
As they were mocking each other, Jia Yu came to the place upon hearing Shen Li's loud cry earlier.
"Shen Li, what's wrong?" Jia Yu asked worriedly.
"Huhuhu Yu'er, I wasn't invited to breakfast" Shen Li said as he spread his arms about to hug Jia Yu. But open Jia Yu who managed to hug but Jia Ru who had put a fierce face he found.
"Ahahaha, no uncle no" Reply Shen Li who slowly loosened his embrace then slightly stepped back while smiling awkwardly.
While Jia Yu who saw Shen Li's behavior only laughed a little.
"Hihihi, Shen Li come with me. I'll cook you some food" said Jia Yu, who took Shen Li by the hand.
While Jia Ru can only put on an ugly face because of the behavior of the two. Shen Li then left but before that he mocked Jia Ru by pulling one of her eyelids and sticking out her tongue, "Wlee!"
"You?! You bad boy! Huh" Jia Ru could only snort in annoyance at Shen Li's taunts then shouted as the two of them almost entered the residence, "You young people don't let go of the absurdity".
After which, Jia Ru shook her head slightly while smiling, "Based on young hahaha" he muttered. He also resumed his delayed fishing event earlier because of Shen Li's actions.
The Dao Imperial Palace
"Patriarch Shen Qi what about my offer?"
"Hahaha, apologize if I sassy His Majesty the Emperor. It is not my utmost to condescend your offer, but it concerns my son, Shen Li, so that I cannot decide" Shen Qi replied to the Emperor.
They were both in a luxurious gazebo in the Imperial Palace. Shen Qi found a return offer that somehow the Emperor offered, but patiently answered him politely.
Shen Qi received an offer of an arranged marriage between Shen Li and the Emperor's daughter. But Shen Qi also thought that Shen Li had chosen Jia Yu to be his future wife, so he could only reason.
Meanwhile Yui Ran Qui also found the same question from the Empress Emperor, who was, but he patiently rejected it subtly and gave a careful answer if Shen Li already had his own future wife.
The Empress was so surprised by Yui Ran Qui's reply, but she could only give up on it considering that she also could not unilaterally decide her daughter's matchmaking.
"If you may know the name of your future son-in-law Yui Ran Qui" asked the Empress.
"Ahaha, is Her Majesty the Empress so anxious to find out? Then I'll tell him. His name is Jia Yu the son of Jia Ru." Yui Ran Qui.
"Jia Clan?, isn't that a large Clan that comes from the Han Empire of the central continent?" the empress murmured her thoughts.
"It turns out that way, all right. By the way when are you going to have their wedding? I hope you invite me later." The Empress asked while teasing Yui Ran Qui.
"Either Empress, I can only wait for Li'er's decision. We will definitely invite the Imperial Family" Yui Ran Qui replied politely.
They finally resumed their conversation until sunset.
The Shen Clan Residence
"Hacuhhhh! Srppm. Why can I sneeze? is anyone talking about me?" muttered Shen Li who was still faithfully waiting for Jia Yu's cooking to mature.
A voice from inside his stomach began to protest for their rights.
"Calm down, my friend, I'm struggling too" Shen Li said as he stroked his belly, who had been protesting for their rights.
"Shen Li, are you sick?" Jia Yu came with a food that smelled so appetizing.
"No Yu'er, I'm just too hungry" Shen Li said.
Jia Yu could only giggle with Shen Li's behavior, she finally sat down next to Shen Li and began to feed her food.
"Shen Li, aaaa.." Said Jia Yu who offered a spoonful of food to feed Shen Li.
Shen Li simply remained silent without opening her mouth in the slightest. He began to puff up his two smooth white cheeks.
"Shen Li let's eat, you said you were hungry" said Jia Yu who also seemed to start puffing her cheeks.
"Is that your call to your future husband?" shen Li's grunts put on a face of pangs.
"Eh?! that?! Emm" Jia Yu's face began to blush in embarrassment at Shen Li's question.
"That's what hmm?" shen Li asked Jia Yu.
"Well, Li Gege" said Jia Yu, whose face grew red.
"Hmm? what's?! I didn't hear." the smiling Shen Li replied triumphantly in his heart.
"Li gege, stop teasing me" Jia Yu said clearly with a smile on Shen Li's face.
"Hihihi, you're getting sweeter when shy like this Yu'er" Shen Li retorted Jia Yu's chin slowly to look at her.
The moment their eyes met, the two fell silent for a while then immediately Jia Yu rubbed Shen Li's face that was getting closer.
"Gege stop and eat quickly" Jia Yu said, switching the conversation to offering food.
"Gege, aaaaa?!! open your mouth" Jia Yu said.
Shen Li simply obeyed the words Jia Yu who was bribing him, it seemed that their affection was so fixed and happy.
"Ehemm, dear/godly young man."
A voice sounded shocking the affection of the two young couple, none other than Jia Ru who was carrying a sizable fish in her hand.
Both of them were shocked and became excited. Jia Yu who was about to feed the food into Shen Li's open mouth actually thrust it towards Shen Li's forehead.
"Ehh?! gege! I'm sorry" Jia Yu immediately cleaned Shen Li's face that was soiled by the food earlier.
While Jia Ru can only chuckle a little when in her heart she was so laughing won because she managed to avenge Shen Li's ignorance earlier.
Shen Li who saw that could only snort in annoyance as his messing moment was deliberately interrupted by Jia Ru.
