"Liu Zhaodi, are your eyes made of measuring tape?! I didn't try the clothes on or tell you the size, how could you pick such a perfect dress?" Jiang Yuan, wearing an extremely well-fitting strapless dress, still had no complaints about Liu Zhaodi's taste.
"No, I just picked one randomly! As for why it fits so well, it's probably because you've long been etched into my heart, which is why I know exactly what you should wear!" Liu Zhaodi said elegantly.
"I didn't know you had such good eyesight!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
Liu Zhaodi smiled sweetly, but in her heart she was already complaining. She spent several hours choosing this dress, and she only relied on the vague feeling of holding Jiang Yuan to judge. Do you know how difficult that was?
"I came in a hurry this time and couldn't order in advance. I'll have someone order a few sets for you after the banquet, so you won't have to go through the trouble of choosing!" Liu Zhaodi was very understanding, but she was also a little afraid of trouble.
"I probably won't need it, since I won't have the chance to attend the next banquet anyway!" Jiang Yuansheng coldly refused.
"Jiang Yuan, can't you be happy? You promised to be my boyfriend, and I'm going to give you a bad review if you act like this!" Liu Zhaodi poked Jiang Yuan's waist with her finger.
"We're not there yet!" Jiang Yuan twisted his waist to dodge, then raised his head and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee my performance will be flawless. I won't let your three Divine Bloodstones go to waste!"
Liu Zhaodi's eyes darted around, and she said, seemingly casually, "Why don't we practice it once first?"
"We even need to do a drill for this?!" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly, his lips twitching.
"Of course! First of all, it's that look in your eyes. Can't you look at me with those affectionate eyes? And then there's that gesture. Shouldn't you be a little more intimate? My dad and my aunt think you're my bodyguard!"
Liu Zhaodi started nitpicking, and her tirade made Jiang Yuan feel somewhat ashamed of himself.
"Maybe we should just forget about it. I won't make any more money from these three Divine Bloodstones!" Jiang Yuan was having second thoughts. He could kill people and monsters, but it was a bit much to team up with them to deceive someone's parents.
"No, if you leave now that we've reached the door, everyone will think I, Liu Zhaodi, have been abandoned!" Liu Zhaodi pretended to wipe away tears.
"Second sister, why are you and your husband still standing at the door? Everyone else is already seated!"
The two, who were pulling and tugging at each other, happened to run into Liu Xiuran, who immediately called him "brother-in-law" with honeyed words.
“It’s okay, your brother-in-law is just a little shy, I’m just comforting him!” Liu Zhaodi immediately explained.
"Second sister, I heard you didn't have a boyfriend for a while. You and your husband weren't just acting, were you?" Liu Xiuran suddenly asked.
...
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
"Haha, I was just kidding!" Liu Xiuran laughed out loud. He patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Let me tell you, my second sister never acts with anyone. If she does act, it's the kind of acting that's real!"
"Get out!" Liu Zhaodi kicked him.
"Holy crap! Goodbye, second sister and second brother-in-law!"
When Liu Xiuran saw the sharp heel coming towards his butt, he wished he had two more legs to run away. In the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared.
"Haha!" Liu Zhaodi chuckled awkwardly to ease the embarrassment. "Well, my brother just likes to joke around. He's just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart!"
However, Jiang Yuan's thoughts were not on that at the moment. He looked at Liu Xiuran's departing figure and asked Liu Zhaodi, "Are you interested in having your younger brother join the oath?"
"Him?" Liu Zhaodi seemed surprised that Jiang Yuan would ask such a question.
“Yes, he has the same dual-element mutation as you, except you have mutated soul energy and he has mutated spiritual energy!” Jiang Yuan didn’t want to hold back, so he openly revealed Liu Xiuran’s situation.
“But…” Liu Zhaodi hesitated.
"But what?"
Liu Zhaodi pouted and said, "But why didn't you invite me, but instead invited my brother?"
“Your motives are impure, joining the Oath is a big problem!” Jiang Yuan said bluntly.
"What's wrong with me?" Liu Zhaodi pouted and complained.
After the idea lingered in his mind for a while, Jiang Yuan finally decided to postpone the decision.
"Let's talk about this in a few days. Right now, finishing this scene is more important!" Jiang Yuan also softened his tone and took Liu Zhaodi's arm. "I'll try my best to make sure you get your three pieces of Divine Bloodstone worth it!"
"Thank you, darling!" Liu Zhaodi tiptoed and lightly kissed Jiang Yuan's cheek.
When Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi entered the hall, the tables were already full of people.
"Is this the family banquet you were talking about?" Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw the banquet with more than 20 people in front of him.
"I have a lot of family members!" Liu Zhaodi explained softly to Jiang Yuan, then led him to the seat of honor.
Several members of the Liu family had different expressions as they watched the two behaving intimately.
"Zhao Di, today is your eldest sister's birthday. What are you doing bringing an outsider here?" A heavily made-up woman in the seat of honor stood up and asked with concern.
"Hey Li'er, don't meddle in Zhao Di's affairs!" Liu Hongyuan reached out and pushed the woman down.
“Auntie, if Jiang Yuan is an outsider, then I’m not that close to him either!” Liu Zhaodi said abruptly.
"How dare you speak like that, child!" The heavily made-up woman's expression turned angry, and she could no longer maintain her previous composure.
"I've been talking like this for so many years, and Auntie still hasn't gotten used to it?" Liu Zhaodi didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with being scolded, and her tone remained sharp.
Jiang Yuan overheard their conversation and gleaned some insights. Judging from the seating arrangement at the table, the Liu family members were not all the same, with some being closer than others.
For example, Liu Zhaodi and that heavily made-up woman. The heavily made-up woman sat next to Liu Hongyuan, and Liu Zhaodi called her "Auntie." This heavily made-up woman was most likely Liu Zhaodi's stepmother.
