The old patriarch of Huanglong took a sip of tea, raised an eyebrow, and exclaimed, "This tea must come from ancient trees that are over a thousand years old. Its life energy is far superior to that of ordinary tea. Just one cup is enough to greatly benefit any cultivator below the level of a god and help them advance to the next level. It is truly a fine product."
Upon hearing this, Linafei smiled radiantly and said softly, "The old patriarch has a discerning eye. This tea indeed originates from an ancient tea tree that is about ten thousand years old. It is of great benefit to beings below the God-King level, while for us beings of higher realms, it is more of a delightful experience that leaves a lingering fragrance on our lips and teeth."
Upon hearing this, the old clan chief nodded repeatedly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes: "Indeed, this is the finest tea I have ever tasted. The tea tree is nearly ten thousand years old, even older than me. This natural wonder is truly rare. Every sip of tea is like savoring the sedimentation of history, leaving one with endless aftertaste."
As they talked, a faint aroma of tea filled the reception room. Accompanied by relaxed and pleasant conversation, the distance between the two clans seemed to be quietly shortened over the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The old patriarch's praise was not only an affirmation of the tea, but also an acknowledgment of Linafil and the hospitality shown by the Heart of the Divine Island.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the atmosphere in the reception room immediately eased and became pleasant and harmonious.
......
Chen Ping stepped into the embrace of the giant valley and tiptoed towards the unexpectedly spacious tree hollow. Inside, Ao Yunyu, Licia, and Aili were curled up together, immersed in a sweet dream. A helpless yet indulgent smile played on his lips as he murmured, "It's truly unexpected that these three little ones can sleep so soundly here."
The tree hollow was just the right size to accommodate Chen Ping's figure. He bent down and slowly stepped inside, trying not to disturb the resting children. When he reached the three sleeping little ones, Chen Ping slowly squatted down, his gaze lingering gently on their sleeping faces. Then he gently patted their little cheeks, trying to gently wake them up in this way.
"Slap! Slap!" The crisp and gentle slapping sound echoed in the tree hole. The three little ones seemed to be disturbed, and they frowned in unison. Their little hands instinctively rubbed the places where they were hit, and they mumbled a few complaints indistinctly. They looked both cute and endearing.
Chen Ping leaned closer to his ear, trying to catch their indistinct babbling, but could only hear a few mumbled words in their sleep. The content was indistinguishable, but their childish protest made Chen Ping chuckle.
He waited patiently until they groggily opened their eyes and vaguely saw Chen Ping's figure. They were stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with a surprised smile, as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness of being disturbed earlier.
Ao Yunyu was the first to wake up, rubbing her eyes and asking, "Brother Chen Ping? What brings you here?" Licia and Aili also woke up one after another, their eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. Clearly, they were very surprised and delighted by Chen Ping's sudden appearance.
Chen Ping replied with a smile, "Guess?"
Seeing the three of them looking dazed, Chen Ping chuckled again, "You guys, instead of going back to sleep, why did you find a tree hole to sleep in? Or is it that the soft bed isn't comfortable?"
Lycia muttered, "It must be more comfortable to sleep in a big bed, Brother Chen Ping, you're so silly."
Hehe~*2
Ao Yunyu and Ai Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then Licia, who was unaware of what was going on, was also infected by the laughter and started laughing too.
Chen Ping rolled his eyes helplessly, then laughed and said, "Alright, come out, I'll take you to wash up."
Lycia playfully stuck out her tongue, then pulled Ao Yunyu and Ai Li along. The three of them laughed and joked as they passed through the portal Chen Ping had opened, instantly returning to the comfortable villa. As soon as they entered, Lycia naturally led the way towards the bathroom, clearly knowing everything about the place.
However, after jogging for a while, Licia suddenly stopped, a look of realization appearing on her face—she realized that there were no toiletries for Ao Yunyu in the bathroom.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot!" Lycia patted her head in self-reproach, then turned around and waved to Ao Yunyu and Aili, "Wait here for me, I'll be right back."
After saying that, she took off running towards the warehouse area with her short legs. Her hurried little figure showed a serious attitude, which made people smile.
Ao Yunyu and Aili exchanged a smile and patiently stood there waiting. Aili whispered to Ao Yunyu, "Licia is always so sudden. Let's wait here for a bit."
Ao Yunyu nodded in agreement, a warm feeling welling up inside her. In such a loving and caring environment, even as a newcomer, she felt the warmth of home.
A short while later, Lycia returned, panting, carrying a brand-new set of toiletries, including a toothbrush, a towel, and even a bottle of children's toothpaste, which had obviously been carefully selected.
She handed the item to Ao Yunyu, smiling, and said, "Look, I found it! Now let's go wash up together and then have breakfast!"
The three little ones held hands and set off again on the way to the bathroom, the air filled with joy and anticipation.
......
Chen Ping, watching everything, nodded indulgently, then took out the island mirror and connected it to Linafil.
The call was connected very quickly.
Seeing Linafiel appear in the island mirror, Chen Ping smiled and said, "Linafiel, hand the island mirror to the old clan chief."
Linafei nodded upon hearing this, then looked at the old clan chief Huanglong and said with a smile, "Old clan chief, our island lord is looking for you."
The old patriarch of Huanglong took the island mirror and said in surprise, "Island mirror? So this is a private island? Hmm, it's been a long time since I've seen a private island. The people I know have all transformed into divine kingdoms. After all, transforming into a divine kingdom can greatly increase strength, but very few people would leave their islands behind."
Looking at Chen Ping in the island mirror, he laughed and said, "Little guy, what do you want with me? Didn't you go to see the little clan leader?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping laughed and said, "We found them a long time ago, but they are washing up now. I need to prepare breakfast for them, which will take quite a while. If you are bored, you can have Linafiel take you around the Heart of the Divine Island."
As Chen Ping spoke, he walked towards the bathroom. Looking at the three little ones who were washing up, he turned the mirror towards them so that the Huanglong clan chief could see Ao Yunyu.
Looking through the island mirror at the three little ones happily washing up in the bathroom, Elder Huanglong felt somewhat dazed.
It's been a long time since I've seen Ao Yunyu with such a happy smile.
