The Legend of Divine Destiny
LTI 32 - Jia Huaran And Ling Qiuyu

“Mr Princess is not money or position that can be given for free. Besides Uncle Song, Aunt Ran. I as an orphan remind this..” Shen Lao looked at Yao Ran who was laughing softly, “Especially the Princess. Listen to this story..”

After all Shen Lao was a descendant of nobility. He was well educated by his parents. Shen Lao was reminiscent of Jia Song and Yao Ran, especially towards Jia Huaran.

“As long as your parents are alive, then prioritize your parents, rather than feeling a moment in someone. Parents have cared for you since childhood and raised you lovingly.”.

Shen Lao looked at the faces of Jia Song and Yao Ran who looked so happy to hear the short story. Shen Lao only wished they could know what he meant, especially Jia Huaran.

“Actually I see your future is bright, Lao. If I leave Huahua to you, I will feel calm.” Jia Song could see Shen Lao's talent, if this young man had potential he had never seen before.

Shen Lao looked at Jia Huaran who blushed in embarrassment. He hoped that this girl would be able to accept her condition which was revealed by the Nine Deaths Curse.

“Dad, for this problem let me solve with Lao.” Jia Huaran spoke up and looked at Shen Lao for meaning.

Jia Huaran's gaze was so seductive. This girl could actually anesthetize a man in an instant, Shen Lao let out a long sigh and closed his eyes for a moment.

“LoDown, this is a gift from me and hope you can rebuild the Shen Family.”.

Jia Song gave the land that was in the Nine Sacred Valley to Shen Lao. Arguably this was Jia Song's move to return the property rights of the Shen Family and the Ling Family to Shen Lao.

“Listen to my little story Uncle Song..”

“Oh, what is it?”

Shen Lao said he wanted to revive the Shen Family. In addition he also shared his ambition of wanting to eliminate the black flow in the Jia Empire.

Jia Song and Yao Ran heard a long story from Shen Lao. As Shen Lao told of himself being exposed to the Nine Death Curse, the faces of Jia Song and Yao Ran looked incredulous.

The one who was most shocked was Jia Huaran. How could Shen Lao only survive to the age of twenty if this young man did not find nine women who would sincerely love him.

“Try me to check it..” Yao Ran stood up and examined Shen Lao's palm which contained a curse mark.

Yao Ran's face paled, “This is not even an antidote. But how could you possibly find nine women... Nope, no. I just saw this condition for the first time.”

Yao Ran held his head and conversed with Jia Song. While Jia Huaran was staring at Shen Lao deeply, he knew this young man was not lying. He also doesn't want to lie about his feelings.

“Dad, Mother. I want to live with Lao. He was the first man I knew and spoke to me like a friend. I honestly fell for her when she met me at the Peach Flower Restaurant.” Jia Huaran expressed all his feelings in front of his parents.

Shen Lao was shocked to hear that. Then he opened his palm and saw three signs the curse had disappeared. At that moment he realized that Jia Huaran really loved him sincerely.

“This is the first time it happened. As a healer, I didn't expect there to be a curse like this.” Yao Ran took another look at Shen Lao's changing curse, “LoMore, see for yourself. Huahua sincerely loves you. Protect your woman, because your future mother-in-law is also a woman. And your mother too. Don't make them hurt let alone leave them.”

“Aunt Ran, I will remember your advice.”

Jia Song was at a loss for words. He massaged his forehead for a long time before looking carefully at Shen Lao and Jia Huaran.

“I once made Huahua suffer. If I had known Zhong Chan who poisoned my wife, I would not have had to match this child with that person.” Jia Song still massaged his forehead and let out a long sigh.

“I entrust Huahua to you, Lao. As a man, you should never hurt his feelings. If my son is hurt for what you did, then I as your future father-in-law will scold you!”

“Dad, Mother. If you both agree to this relationship. I want to support the path Lao took. I'm sure Lao won't be involved in government affairs. Do Father and Mother not mind if I don't stay in the palace with you guys?” Jia Huaran understood the meaning of Shen Lao's story. He did not want to make his parents worry, let alone hurt their expectations.

“Huahua, it's your first time talking about a man to your parents. Actually, it's hard for me to let you go, let alone LaoMaster, not only will I take care of you. If you're confident in your decision to live with Lao Sider, Mom and Dad will support you. But if otherwise, then we also accept you. After all you are our little angel who has grown up.” Jia Song spoke at length in response to Jia Huaran's words.

Jia Huaran looked at Shen Lao long ago. Before the end, he was convinced of his decision.

“Dad, Mother. I received Lao and all the conditions he experienced” After Jia Huaran said so, Jia Song and Yao Ran looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Lao and Jia Huaran stared at each other. Before long they were with Jia Song and Yao Ran talking like a family. A short while later, Shen Lao put in the hundred million pieces of gold that Jia Song had given him.

The faces of Jia Song and Yao Ran could not believe seeing Shen Lao's money as more than the finances in the palace.

“If it's like this, I don't need to worry.” Yao Ran laughed softly and covered his mouth using his palm.

Before long Shen Lao and Jia Song chatted with each other before Shen Lao finally asked for permission to return to the Nine Treasures Phoenix.

“Mr Princess, are you willing to live with me? I am not a good man. The Princess knows for herself right?”

Jia Song and Yao Ran made room for her son to talk to Shen Lao.

“Call me Hua.” Jia Huaran looked at Shen Lao sharply.

“Hua dari, can you accept my condition?” Shen Lao walked slowly with Jia Huaran.

Shen Lao closed his eyes. Jia Huaran pinched and peeked at Shen Lao's left cheek.

“I will accept you as you are. I accept your condition and I will support all your ambitions and dreams.” Jia Huaran flushed his face after tucking Shen Lao's cheek. Shen Lao lightly touched Jia Huaran's cheek.

“Lao, tomorrow I go to the Nine Treasures Phoenix. I want to help Brother Qiuqiu there.” Jia Huaran directly returned to the palace after saying so.

Shen Lao stared at Jia Huaran's back which was moving away. Then he returned to the Nine Phoenix Treasures.

In the afternoon, Shen Lao noticed the blankets in his room had been replaced with new ones. He immediately searched for Ling Qiuyu's whereabouts.

This girl was able to walk, and woke up when it was late afternoon. Now he's cooking something for dinner.

Shen Lao hugged Ling Qiuyu's waist from behind and whispered fondly, “Harumnya, you are cooking for dinner?”

Shen Lao looked at Ling Qiuyu's face before giving a small bite in her ear. While his hands hugged tightly Ling Qiuyu.

Ling Qiuyu blushed in embarrassment as Shen Lao hugged his body, “Young Master Shen, not now.” Ling Qiuyu hissed as Shen Lao's hand groped his stomach.

“Qiuyu, say my name..” Shen Lao looked at Ling Qiuyu's neck covered in cloth. This girl wanted to hide the red marks that filled her neck.

“Let my parents see..” Ling Qiuyu reprimanded Shen Lao.

“This locket makes you even more beautiful.” Shen Lao held the Fertility Goddess Pendant before his hand held a ring that coiled around Ling Qiuyu's ring finger.

“There's something I want to talk to your parents about after dinner.” Reply Shen Lao while letting go of his embrace.

“Lao, I will never leave you. My parents will definitely approve of our relationship.” Ling Qiuyu wiped his sweat and looked at Shen Lao.

“Qiuqiu, what are you cooking?” Suddenly Ling Xie came. He saw Shen Lao washing the dishes and his daughter was cooking.

“Looks like mom interrupting..” Ling Xie smiled happily and left when he saw Ling Qiuyu's red face go out.

“Let me help..” Shen Lao took out a bowl filled with warm soup.

“Good..”.

Shen Lao and Ling Qiuyu prepared the dishes at their special dining table the four of them ate together.

“You two are getting closer..” Ling Han came over to say hello after a day of napping. Before long Ling Xie also came over to the dining table. Then they started eating dinner together.

After dinner, Ling Qiuyu looked at her parents. Before long Shen Lao spoke to Ling Han and Ling Xie to explain the condition of his body. He told her everything about the Nine Death Curse and what happened to him and Ling Qiuyu.

After hearing Shen Lao's story, Ling Han and Ling Xie could guess. But he did not expect Shen Lao to have a curse that made both of them difficult to believe.

“Qiuqiu, are you sure of this decision?” Ling Xie asked to make sure that his son did not regret his decision and deeds.

“Mother, Father. I love Lao as he is and accept his condition.” Ling Qiuyu answered Ling Xie's words with what was in her mind.

“Mother understands. You can finally feel in love. At first I was worried, but everything was fine..” Ling Xie then looked at Shen Lao, “Please take good care of Qiuqiu. Even though she is older than you, she is a woman. Make sure you never get him hurt.”

“I promise will give you the best for Qiuyu.”

Ling Xie and Ling Han were happy to see her grown daughter fall in love with Shen Lao.

“Loves, no small advice from your future father-in-law.” Ling Han looked at Shen Lao seriously, “If your story is true. I won't forgive you for leaving my son. You're too obsessed with revenge. Remember, from now on you have my son waiting for you to come home. Don't make him scared let alone suffer.”

“I'll remember Uncle Han's advice.” Shen Lao replied with determination.

After dinner together. Shen Lao and Ling Qiuyu climbed the stairs. The two headed towards the ninth floor together.

“Qiuyu, thanks. I am grateful to have met you. Even though I am younger than you, but I will make you happy.” Shen Lao clasped Ling Qiuyu's body from behind and inhaled the fragrant smell of brownish-black hair.

“You got my parents' blessing, Lao. I'm also happy that you came when I felt desperate.” Ling Qiuyu opened the door of her room.

“This room..” Shen Lao stopped stepping. But his hand was held by Ling Qiuyu.

“Tonight I want to sleep in my room..” Ling Qiuyu smiled gently and looked warmly at Shen Lao.

Seeing that gentle smile and warm gaze, Shen Lao directly carried Ling Qiuyu's body and kissed her cheek, then locked the door of this girl's room.
