?Mobile reading Qin's household: a variety of herbs were arranged on the living room's makeshift table, filling the house with a unique fragrance. Three people sat happily on the sofa drinking coffee. Xiao Ding, placed at the corner of the coffee table, eventually yielded to Qin Da Shao's overwhelming authority and safely transported them all out of the world within the vessel. "This truly is a treasure," Mei Hui said, holding the small Ding fondly. "It's also a creature that's timid and easily intimidated—never again will we channel any spiritual energy into it," Qin Feng remarked with a sniff. Whee-whee... Xiao Ding immediately expressed its displeasure, giving Qin Da Shao a withering look and fiercely declaring, "If you dare to show any more resistance, I'll toss you right into the toilet!" Immediately, it grew quiet. Indeed, there seemed to be an innate fear of toilets in this creature. Ding-dong… the doorbell rings. Mei Hui sets down the small steamer and says, "It must be my stepfather coming. I'll go open the door. You, Xiao Feng, just take care of it—otherwise I'll have to explain things to him later!" Well, he produces the naga bracelet hanging around his neck and says to the steamer, "Come on in, be a good little one!" The steamer is reluctant, but still flies gracefully into the bracelet. Hou Bao looks utterly exhausted. As soon as he enters, his first question is, "What are you all doing up this late at night, calling me over? Is there something important?" His precious daughter gestures toward the pile of herbs and says, "I'd like you to study the effects of these medicinal plants." "Medicinal herbs? What's there to study? Just flip through the ancient texts and you're done..." Hou the elder says, and then stops mid-sentence, because in his gaze, there stands exactly that plant—Xuan Shen. He walked over with a look of sheer disbelief, holding the Xuan Sheng in his hands, carefully examining it while gasping, "This... this... this is Xuan Sheng, a herb that has gone extinct for over a thousand years! Incredible! And this—this should be Xue Zi Teng. Heaven's sake! This one is Wan Ling, a herb that vanished even in ancient times! These are all plants that have long since disappeared!" Mei Hui was right—the old man indeed knew quite a few herb names. Yet Qin Feng couldn't understand: if all these herbs had gone extinct, why was he studying them? Was it for the sake of a remarkable encounter, or for the purpose of making it through the transition to another era? It's said that many people who've watched or experienced the "time-travel" genre often go on to study the principles of gunpowder, steam engines, and beyond, imagining one day they themselves might travel back to ancient times and use these technologies to build an empire and win over a group of beautiful wives. "Where did you get these?" asked Hou Bao, full of excitement. Qin Da lightly shrugged and said, "You just don't need to worry about that—focus solely on thoroughly studying the pharmacological properties of these herbs. I'll supply you with a large quantity when the time comes, for your drug formulation. How does that sound?" Who would have thought your precious daughter wouldn't want you to know? That's all to blame for Mei Hui. It wasn't late yet, and what came next was naturally the program Qin Dashi loved most every day—taking turns making love with the two women, then sharing a big quilt in bed. Lin Caiwei was known as a poised, ice-cold beauty—smiling cheerfully in the morning was entirely out of character. As the old saying goes, when things are unusual, something strange is usually at play. He had to ensure his own safety, so he decided to be more cautious. Only after Lin Caiwei saw him sit down carefully did she speak: "Here's the thing—my family has come to visit, and they'd like to meet you. Will you be able to make it?" "What? To meet my parents?" He stared at her, nearly shouting the words, so clearly that every student in the room heard it. A wave of eyes turned their way, making the two of them the center of attention. The gazes ranged from curious to teasing, from confirming to outright indignant. "What are you doing, shouting like that?" Lin Caiwei blushed furiously, waving her fists at him several times. Qin, the young lord, chuckled: "Sorry—I was so excited. My family has come to meet you, right? But how can they expect to meet me when we don't even know each other well?" Lin Meiyuan is a woman who values her reputation—she certainly wouldn’t say outright that the people at home have taken a fancy to the things in her hands, and thus have been eyeing her. After receiving a call from her granddaughter last night, the head of the Lin family decided to make the trip to Pingdu City right away and departed immediately. By this morning, she had already checked into a hotel just a short distance from Pingda University. “Shall we actually meet the family?” Lin Meiyuan began to pout, showing her girlish side. It was the first time that her group of classmates had ever seen the reserved, ice-cold beauty act so tender—everyone was taken aback by her softness. “It’s rather sudden, isn’t it? We haven’t really reached that stage yet,” Qin Feng deliberately pretended to be clueless, even teasing her. “What nonsense! You’re just being stubborn,” Lin Meiyuan shot him a look, sighing, “My face is already ruined by you. Is this still going to be interesting? If you’re a man, just give me a clear answer—shall we meet, or not?” He paused for a moment, smiled and said, "Of course I'll meet you—your elders are my elders. As for the time and place, it's up to you. But this time, let me be clear from the start: I won't be paying anything anymore!" Lin Caivēi was initially delighted, then pouted, saying, "You just want to pay, and never get a chance. I've already warned you in advance—the one who's going to meet you is an old man, rigid and grumpy, my nominal grandfather!"
