Chapter 91 It’s good to be back
Inside the house, Ling Xuemei was sobbing softly, her tears rolling down like beads with a broken string.
Ji Yanting paced non-stop, his brows furrowed. He was also anxious and worried about his daughter’s safety, but he could only force himself to be calm.
“Don’t worry, our daughter is so smart, nothing will happen to her, she will be back soon.” In fact, he himself was not sure, but he knew that he couldn’t panic at this time, otherwise Xuemei would be more worried.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second was a torment for them.
Ji Yanting’s fingers kept tapping on the table, silently praying in his heart that his daughter would return safely. He had sent someone to look for Yaoyao, but two hours had passed and there was still no news.
Hearing the sound of the door opening outside, Ling Xuemei and Ji Yanting's hearts tensed, and they turned their heads at the same time.
Seeing that the person who walked in was Ling Yao, their eyes lit up instantly, and they couldn't wait to rush over.
"Yaoyao, you're back!" Ling Xuemei's voice was a little trembling, and her eyes were full of concern.
"Are you okay?" Ji Yanting looked at Ling Yao with concern.
Ling Yao shook her head gently, "I'm sorry! I made you worry."
She looked at the tears on Ling Xuemei's face that had not yet dried, and her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.
"Why did you come back so late? Did something happen?" Ling Xuemei reached out and held Ling Yao's hand. At this moment, her heart was completely relieved.
Ling Yao hesitated for a moment and briefly recounted what happened.
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ling Xuemei and Ji Yanting's hearts.
"Damn it!" Ji Yanting's face became extremely gloomy, he clenched his fists in anger, walked aside, picked up the phone, and called without hesitation. He wanted to make those traffickers who captured his daughter pay the price!
Ling Xuemei hugged Ling Yao tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to rub her into her body.
Her tears burst out again, dripping on Ling Yao's shoulders, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." As long as her daughter comes back safely, it's better than anything else.
"Mom! I will never let you and dad worry again." Ling Yao hugged Ling Xuemei with a determined light in her eyes.
On the other side, Lu Qingyun had already embarked on the road back to the army. Those traffickers had become a mess because their leader was killed. They all confessed with just a few tricks.
But they didn't know who was behind them. So this mission has to continue to be investigated in depth.
"Captain! Was that my sister-in-law just now?" Deputy Captain Zhang Zhihai looked at Lu Qingyun with a smile. It was the first time he saw the captain looking at a girl so tenderly, but he had to say that his sister-in-law was really beautiful. It made him want to find a target too.
Lu Qingyun nodded. Thinking of Ling Yao, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a little.
"Captain! How did you know my sister-in-law?"
"Captain! When will you invite us to your wedding?"
"Yes, we all want to attend your wedding with my sister-in-law."
"My sister-in-law is so beautiful, Captain, you have to act faster."
Lu Qingyun's eyes flashed with yearning. He also wanted to marry Yaoyao home as soon as possible, but Yaoyao had just agreed to be his partner, so how could she agree to marry him so quickly? It's really worrying.
In the quiet space, Ling Yao concentrated on refining the elixir. Now every day, she would quietly add a pill that she carefully refined to her parents' food.
As time went by, she clearly felt that her parents' mental and physical conditions had improved significantly.
Now, her parents' bodies have gradually recovered and they can bear higher-level pills, so she plans to refine beauty pills and body-building pills for her parents to take.
Xinghuo ran happily beside her, and his eyes looked at the pill furnace from time to time, his eyes full of expectations for the pills.
Time passed quietly, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance gradually wafted out of the pill furnace.
Xinghuo's agile figure ran to the pill furnace as fast as an arrow. He stretched out his pink little tongue and stared at the pill furnace, as if there was some rare treasure hidden there.
Ling Yao gently opened the pill furnace and carefully took out the refined beauty pills. These pills were round and full, crystal clear, and exuded an alluring and rich pill fragrance.
She picked up one of them and put it in her mouth. The pill melted in her mouth, turning into thin liquid medicine, flowing slowly into her throat like a clear spring, bringing an intoxicating sense of pleasure.
Ling Yao felt as if all the pores on her body were open at this moment, and an indescribable sense of comfort surged in her heart. She raised her hand and carefully examined the skin on her hand. She was surprised to find that her skin, which was originally as white as jade, had become more delicate and smooth like mutton fat.
"It's worthy of being a beauty pill. The effect is really amazing."
"Woof! Woof!" Xinghuo barked at Ling Yao a few times, his eyes full of desire. Gouzi wants to eat too.
Ling Yao smiled and touched Xinghuo's dog head, "This is for girls, you can't eat it."
"Woo..." Xinghuo lay on the ground aggrieved.
Ling Yao took out a few ordinary pills and handed them to Xinghuo, "This is for you to eat."
Xinghuo immediately came to life, a pair of blue eyes as bright as gems, "Woof woof woof!" Master is so kind!
Ling Yao smiled and continued to refine the pill. She selected the herbs and carefully controlled the temperature and dosage to ensure that each pill could achieve the best effect. After refining this furnace of pills, she planned to refine some more healing pills and send them to Lu Qingyun.
Thinking of Lu Qingyun, Ling Yao couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips slightly. It had only been a short time since they separated, but she already missed him.
When it was almost dawn, Ling Yao put away the alchemy stove and left the room.
She gently opened the door and walked out of the room. Seeing that her parents' door was still closed, she knew that they were not awake yet. Thinking of last night, her parents waited until very late to go to bed because they were worried about her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Coming to the kitchen, Ling Yao skillfully tied an apron and began to prepare breakfast for her parents.
The fragrance rose from the kitchen, and the sun slowly climbed into the sky, illuminating the whole world. The
golden sunlight passed through the window, and fell on Ling Yao's porcelain-white cheeks like a light gauze, as if she had put on a layer of golden gauze for her, making her whole body exude a charming halo.
Hearing footsteps, Ling Yao turned around and saw Ling Xuemei. She smiled and said, "Mom!"
Ling Xuemei walked into the kitchen and saw the breakfast already prepared on the table. She was a little surprised
. "Why did you get up so early today? Don't you have another day off?" She walked forward and held Ling Yao's hand, looking at her worriedly. "Yaoyao, were you scared yesterday?" Thinking of yesterday, she still felt a little scared. Fortunately, her daughter was fine.
"No, I just want to make breakfast for you guys." Ling Yao coquettishly took Ling Xuemei's hand and pulled her to sit at the table, "Mom, this is the scallion pancake I made, try it and see if it tastes good?"
Ling Xuemei picked up a piece of scallion pancake, took a bite, and the fragrance instantly filled her mouth, "Delicious!"
"If it tastes good, eat more, I'll go call Dad to come over for breakfast." Ling Yao smiled and picked up a piece of scallion pancake, eating while walking outside.
Ling Xuemei smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of doting.
