Lin Yi also saw the determination in her eyes, and he understood that it was precisely this kind of Lin Jiaojiao that made him love her so deeply.
"Okay, I'll support you." At worst, I'll do my best to help her while she's undergoing body tempering.
Lin Jiaojiao nodded.
Just then, the voice of the sea god rang out: "How did this sword end up in your hands?"
The two looked in the direction of the sea god at the same time. Lin Jiaojiao asked with some confusion, "Are you talking about this sword?"
At the same time, he took out the Crimson Flame Sword from his hand.
“Yes, this is the Crimson Flame Sword of the Vermilion Bird Ancient God. How did it end up with you?” The Sea God recognized it at a glance.
"Huh? This is the sword of an ancient god?" Lin Yi asked incredulously.
The artifacts of the ancient gods were coveted by countless deities. And yet, this person just gave them to her like that? Moreover, it seems Jiaojiao has already formed a pact with the artifact; otherwise, the artifact wouldn't have treated her this way.
“I’m absolutely certain that I’m right, and only this sword can hurt you and me.” Therefore, the sea god had no intention of reaching out to touch it, but simply stood at a distance.
Lin Yi looked down at his hands again. "Okay, okay, I see."
Lin Jiaojiao then answered the Sea God's question: "This was a gift from the Goddess."
"Goddess? You mean the Phoenix Goddess?" The Sea God was also astonished. The Phoenix Goddess not only didn't hold a grudge, but also gave her such a wonderful magical artifact? Could someone tell him what the goddess was thinking?
“Yes!” Lin Jiaojiao nodded. Her face lit up with a smile whenever Wan Ge was mentioned, as if she were talking about her own older sister.
The sea god looked at his son in disbelief, as if asking what was going on.
Lin Yi shrugged helplessly. How would he know?
Furthermore, Wan Ge's attitude towards him was very cold, but her attitude towards Jiao Jiao was completely different. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Jiao Jiao was the one she was engaged to!
The Sea God didn't know what to say, but seeing how much Lin Jiaojiao liked the sword and that it didn't seem to want to harm her, he said, "In any case, since the goddess has given it to you, you should keep it safe."
After saying this, she turned her gaze to her son: "The goddess has given your wife such a wonderful gift. Go to the treasure vault of the sea tribe and pick out a gift in return for the goddess."
Don't be so insensible! We're all family now. Although the Sea God didn't like Lin Jiaojiao's identity and was furious at first, he couldn't go against his son's wishes.
Since the other party is now his future daughter-in-law, there's no need to treat her like an outsider.
Lin Yi nodded: "I understand."
As the family walked together, Lin Yi thought of his little cousin, so he started chatting with his father.
Adding to what his father had just said, Lin Yi remembered that his sea tribe possessed a treasure that could help a god restore his eyesight. Since Wan Ge had given his fiancée such a wonderful gift, shouldn't he reciprocate by giving her fiancé a gift in return?
Upon hearing that Cang Ci was blind, the Sea God stopped and turned to look at his son, asking in confusion, "Why do you think your uncle's son is blind?"
Just kidding, how could a prince of the divine race be a god with an eye ailment?
Moreover, what rare and precious materials do the sea creatures possess that the gods lack? Even if the gods truly didn't have them, wouldn't they simply ask them for them?
Cang Ci is no longer a child. If something were to happen to him, wouldn't the Heavenly Emperor help him heal?
Even if the Heavenly Emperor couldn't cure him, he's the only one who can communicate with the Heavenly Dao, so he would definitely find a way to make his son better.
Of course, if he really had an eye ailment and the Heavenly Emperor was truly helpless, then he wouldn't be able to use any of their methods.
However, it cannot be ruled out that his eyes are currently incurable.
But the Sea God still felt that Cang Ci didn't seem to have an eye ailment, even though his eyes were indeed covered with white silk. Perhaps there was some secret behind this.
…
"You mean Cang Ci's eyes are alright?" Lin Yi was stunned.
Poseidon nodded: "Anyway, I think it's fine. Even if there's some kind of accident, that thing that even the Heavenly Emperor can't cure won't work."
"Alright then, let's think of something else to send." But the thought that Cang Ci's brother's eyes were alright was something to be happy about.
…
After parting ways with the young female lead, Wan Ge went to Cang Ci's residence. Since waiting for news would take some time, she wanted to spend more time with Cang Ci.
Cang Ci sat down in the pavilion, a plate of delicate pear blossom pastries already placed in front of him.
Cang Ci smiled faintly: "You've come. What are you carrying?"
Wan Ge shook the thing she was holding in her hand: "You mean this? I met the God of Wine when I came here, and he gave me two jugs of wine."
Wan Ge seemed to recall how the other person would pass out after just one drink, and asked again, "Want to give it a try?"
A little wine with pear blossom pastry sounds like a good idea.
Cang Ci had never drunk alcohol before and was somewhat curious about it, so he nodded.
Wan Ge poured sake into the two exquisite cups that the other person had brought out.
Cang Ci took a sip; it was both pungent and sweet, and the taste was strange. He didn't like the taste and preferred tea.
However, he still finished the wine in his glass.
Wan Ge looked at the person who had collapsed in front of her with a faint smile on her face. Sure enough, he passed out after just one drink.
Wan Ge picked him up and carried him slowly toward his bedchamber.
When Wan Ge put the person on the bed, the other person still held her hand tightly.
"Don't go."
Wan Ge looked down at him and reached out to touch his cheek: "I'm not leaving."
Cang Ci grasped her icy hand and pressed it tightly against his face, his tone tinged with grievance: "My head hurts."
"How about I give you a massage?" Wan Ge continued to coax the other person gently in a tender tone.
Cang Ci nodded obediently again.
Wan Ge reached out to massage him, but accidentally knocked off his eyeliner.
It's probably because the other person moved around a bit while they were lying in bed, making it loose.
So Wan Ge fell off with just a light touch.
Wan Ge touched the corner of his eye. His eyelashes were so long, making his whole face look even more handsome. It was just a pity that his eyes were closed at the moment.
Perhaps knowing that she wanted to see him open his eyes, the boy beneath Wan Ge opened his eyes. His golden eyes were exceptionally beautiful; they were incredibly attractive.
The moment she saw his eyes, Wan Ge seemed to lose herself in thought, and unconsciously lowered her head to kiss his lips.
