Chapter C2
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, five years had already passed. These short five years did not seem to have brought about much change to the Lingyun Town, and everything was still the same as before.
At this moment, there were a few children chasing each other in the backyard of the Ling Family. Brother Chen, you're being shameless. You obviously didn't catch me, so how did I lose? " The boy called Brother Chen pouted several times with a dark face. Ai, this Brother Xiao is really too cunning. Just be careful. The trap I had meticulously set was discovered by this little guy.
It turned out that these children were playing with the eagle catching the chick. Before, whenever Little Ling Xiao shouted about wanting to play this game, his brothers would always be able to resist him. Furthermore, every time Little Ling Xiao became a hawk, she would always be able to catch her comrades, and each time was just the right amount of time. At first, the little fellows did not realise it, but in the end, it was Ling Chen who found out. From then on, the little friends were all unwillingly forced to play this game.
"Dad, mom, I'm back, hehe!" Little Ling Xiao snuck into the house. Xiao'er, what are the fun things that have happened today? The beautiful woman who thought she was beautiful walked out, and reached out to hug Little Ling Xiao tightly.
"Mom, I played Eagle Catch Chicken with Brother Chen again today, hee hee." As he looked dotingly at the child in his arms, Liu Mengying's eyes shone with a maternal radiance. Liu Mengying got up and walked into the living room, then went to Ling Zhentian's side and said to him, "Husband, Xiao'er is a small child now, and likes to tease his brothers. In a few years time, we will have our Family Competition.
"Meng'er, with Xiao'er's talent, that is certain, but I do not want Xiao'er to attract too much attention. In these past few years, you also know that many strange things have happened near the Boundless Mountain. I'm afraid that they will make a comeback." "That's true, but I believe my husband has a plan." After saying that, he patted Little Ling Xiao's back with one hand and tidied Little Ling Xiao's clothes with the other. And at this time, Little Ling Xiao was also very obediently not saying anything.
Li family. In the garden at the back of the mountain, there was a little girl who was swinging on the swing. Her bell-like laughter echoed throughout the entire garden. The little girl had a garland of flowers on her head, and it was obvious that she had weaved it in an exquisite manner. Her little ponytail was fluttering in the wind. The two dimples on her jade cheeks were very pretty. She was a real beauty. When she grew up, she would have a devastatingly beautiful woman.
As if tired of playing, the little girl wearing a red dress ran over to a middle-aged man not far away. "Dad, I'm tired of playing today. Are there any other fun things? Every time I play on the swing, it's so boring!" So the middle-aged man was actually the Li Family's Patriarch, Li Yunlong. He bent down to pick up the little girl, scratched her little nose and said, "Haha, little Meng Ru, since young, you have never been out of the country. Tomorrow, I will bring you to Uncle Ling's home, okay? Hearing her father's words, Little Meng Ru became very curious about the Little Demon King.
Although Meng Ru Jr. looked very peaceful, he was already a princess in the Li Family. He might not be that big of a person, but he had a lot of evil ideas and he even called her the Little Demoness.
On the second day, the Ling Residence welcomed a few distinguished guests. It was Li Yunlong who had brought his precious daughter and brother to the Ling Family.
The Ling family and the Li family had always been on good terms. They were very familiar with each other and did not stay for long. The group of people arrived at the Ling family's Guest Hall. The servants had already prepared tea for them.
"Haha, Brother Yun Long, you rarely come to big brother's place these past few years. Today, we brothers will properly drink a few cups. Come, come, brothers, there's no need to be courteous." Ling Zhentian also brought a few people into the living room, then sat down.
"Brother Ling (Patriarch) is too polite!" Li Yunlong and a few of his brothers immediately replied.
"I assume that this young lady is Brother Yun Long's precious daughter. In the blink of an eye, she has grown so big. I remember that she is around the same age as Xiao'er." At this time, Ling Zhentian also noticed the Little Demon Girl.
"Aiya, big brother, don't mention it, that girl is my daughter, it's just that she's rather mischievous, there's no one else around, she's worrying, haha," Li Yunlong also replied.
"Haha, that's great. My Xiao'er is also a little devil. Men, call Xiao'er over." After which, Ling Zhentian instructed.
Not long after, they saw a servant bringing a boy of about five years old with them as they overworked. It was Ling Xiao Jr.
When he entered the living room, Little Ling Xiao immediately discovered the little girl who wasn't very big yet. The moment she saw Little Meng Ru, her heart froze, as if there was a sense of familiarity with her before she smiled towards Little Meng Ru and greeted the people seated in front of her.
When Little Ling Xiao looked at Little Meng Ru, she also felt like her whole body was being electrocuted. Her little face couldn't help but turn slightly red. The two of them had only met for the first time, yet they both felt like they were in a dream.
Ling Zhentian then said to Little Ling Xiao, "Xiao'er, bring Little Meng Ru out for a walk. I'll also chat with you, Uncle Li, and the others."
Waiting until the two little fellows left, Li Yunlong first said, "Brother Ling, you clearly saw what happened just now, could it be that they are really fated?"
Slightly nodding his head, Ling Zhentian laughed and said, "This is their matter, no one can say for sure, but from now on, it will depend on their fate." Ling Zhentian did not make the words sound too dead.
Li Yunlong also knew, so he said to Ling Zhentian, "Big Brother, since it's like this, then let's follow our agreement back then and arrange a baby marriage for them.
Obviously, Ling Zhentian understood what Li Yunlong meant, and since it was a promise between the two, they agreed. Furthermore, Ling Zhentian had also discovered that little Meng Ru was not ordinary, and at her young age, she had already reached the 4th level of the Body Refinement Realm. The pitiful Little Ling Xiao didn't know that his father had decided everything about his marriage just like that. At this moment, he was playing in the garden with Little Meng Ru.
However, it seemed that little Ling Xiao had always been at a disadvantage. His face was dark, and he raised his hands in a very reluctant manner to surrender.
Not long after, the laughter of the two could be heard again. Little Ling Xiao seemed to have won this time, she was especially happy and told Meng Ru to kiss him. At first, Little Meng Ru was unwilling to give up, but later on, she didn't know what Little Ling Xiao had said. With a squelch, she covered her face with her hands and did not dare look at Little Ling Xiao.
Furthermore, she did not see Little Ling Xiao's look of having succeeded in her evil scheme, if not Little Meng Ru would not know what to think.
