MM Racing Chapter 1070: Very Pleasant Ying
Chapter 1070: Very Pleasant Ying
At night, the Holy Flame Arena and the guest room area of the House of Burnout.
The room allocation for Shao Yun's family was very clear.
Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng, and the little dragon "Potato Pancake" squeezed into a guest room.
Shen He lives in a separate room with Shao Yun and Ying's daughter "Xi".
It is worth mentioning that during dinner, Shao Yun and Ying felt a little guilty when they saw Shen He busying around with the child in his arms.
The child is her own, and Shen He cannot always be left to worry about it alone. That would be too inappropriate. It would make Shen He look like a servant or maid who only takes care of the child, completely failing her identity as a "family member".
So, after dinner, Ying pulled Shao Yun into the room and discussed the matter in a low voice.
"Shall we go help Shen He take care of the baby tonight? She must be tired after walking such a long way with Xi during the day."
Shao Yun immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "I think so too. It's not a good idea to always let her do everything for you. As parents, we should do our part."
He paused, then added a few words about his hidden concerns, his tone carrying a hint of a parent's careful thoughts.
"Besides... this is our own daughter. If we always let Shen He take care of her, it would be troublesome if the child no longer has feelings for us in the future."
When Ying heard this, she couldn't help laughing and reached out to gently pat Shao Yun's arm.
"It's not that exaggerated. It makes us seem like unfit parents... But you're right, we really should spend more time with our daughter."
Paimon, who was floating nearby, came over and said, swinging his short legs, "I can help watch the baby too! I'll sing her a lullaby!"
Xiaolong "Potato Pancake" seemed to understand that the topic was related to the child, and came to the bedside and made a gentle call.
……
Finally, after some discussion, Shao Yun went to help Shen He take care of the children tonight so that she could have a good rest.
As for Paimeng who volunteered, Shao Yun was afraid that she would fall asleep with the baby, and then Shen He would have to tuck Paimeng in, increasing his workload.
So, it was rejected.
……
The night is getting darker.
Shao Yun had just finished taking a shower and wiped his hair casually with a towel. He then walked to the bedside and looked at Ying, who was sitting on the edge of the bed fixing her hair. He asked casually, "What are you talking about?"
"How was your first day of adventure in Nata? Going out with Paimon and Xiaolong to run commissions, weren't you tired?"
Ying, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, raised her head and her eyes sparkled when she heard this. It was obvious that the adventure during the day had put her in a very good mood.
She nodded vigorously, leaned forward slightly, and recounted today's adventure with anticipation.
"Well, that's great! Today, Paimon, Xiaolong, and I have accepted a few requests for sparring from Catherine at the Adventurer's Guild reception desk."
"Although the content is strange, the fighters in Nata are so enthusiastic and take the sparring very seriously. They are much more interesting than the opponents I met in other countries!"
At this point, Ying paused deliberately, raised her eyebrows, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Shao Yun and asked, "In the end, who do you think won?"
Ying's look of waiting to be praised is just like a child who is looking forward to being praised by his parents after receiving a certificate of award.
Shao Yun looked at Ying's expectant expression and couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, then casually complained:
"Even if I use my toes to figure it out, it's clear that you must have won, right? With the level of those ordinary adventurers in Nata, how could they defeat a great adventurer like you?"
When Ying heard Shao Yun's abstract and funny words, she burst out laughing, patted his arm and complained:
"Huh? Why don't you use my insoles to think? Didn't you always use this to talk about things before? Why are you changing your tactics today?"
Shao Yun sat down beside Ying, reached out and touched her soft hair, his fingertips gently brushed across the ends of her hair, and explained:
"Come up with something new, aren't you tired of saying the same word all the time?
……
Afterwards, the two chatted about their adventures during the day.
As they were chatting, Ying, who was sitting next to Shao Yun, suddenly had her eyes light up. She unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands and said in a tone full of curiosity:
"Oh, by the way! When I was adventuring in the wild today, I met a very capable Nata 'Dragon Hunter'! He looks super powerful!"
When Shao Yun heard the word "Dragon Hunter", his fingertips paused and he pursed his lips. The calm green-styled boy 'Kinichi' instantly appeared in his mind and he asked back:
"Dragon Hunter? You mean Kinichi? The one from the Hanging Wood Tribe?"
When Ying heard that Shao Yun had actually guessed it was Kinich, she nodded excitedly, moved closer to Shao Yun, and added in a chattering voice:
"Yes, that's him! He and I were at the 'Ancestral Temple' today, and we experienced the Hanging Man's special tool, the 'hook'! Swinging back and forth from cliff to cliff with that hook was so much fun!"
At this point, Ying seemed to suddenly remember something, wrinkled her nose slightly, and complained with a disgusted tone:
"It's that guy named Aqiao who's following him. He's so noisy! He kept chattering non-stop all the way to the point where my ears are almost callused."
Shao Yun was not surprised by this. After all, he had dealt with A Qiao several times before and was already used to his nagging. He echoed Ying's words:
"I'm not surprised by this. That big yellow lizard is talkative and likes to join in the fun. He's certainly not as cute as our Paimon and Xiaolong..."
"At least when Paimon is arguing, I can still shut her up with snacks."
This made Ying laugh out loud, and she gently pushed Shao Yun.
Then, Ying continued with a tone full of satisfaction:
"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect to encounter so many interesting things within just a few days of arriving in Nata! It feels much more interesting than running commissions elsewhere."
She paused, then recalled the scene of using the grappling hook, and subconsciously said, "The Woodcutter's grappling hook is indeed very useful, but, ah, I can..."
Ying suddenly stopped talking in the middle of her words, pursed her lips tightly together, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
She almost revealed the secret of her ability to possess the souls of the Natalons.
Shao Yun noticed her strangeness and turned his head to look at her in confusion.
"What can you say? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
Ying quickly waved her hands, forcibly changing the subject, and forced a somewhat stiff smile on her face:
"No, nothing! I wanted to say that it's just that Kinich doesn't have time, otherwise I would like to play with the hook a few more times."
"After all, the feeling of swinging back and forth is really fun."
Afterwards, Ying quickly changed the topic to another direction, trying to keep her tone as natural as possible.
"Anyway, this dragon hunter named Kinichi gave me a lot of information about Nata's adventures today. It was really useful!"
In order to make the topic change more natural, she deliberately emphasized her tone and counted on her fingers for Shao Yun to hear.
"For example, Nata has a unique secret source mechanism. He said that although this mechanism is usually dormant, you have to be extra careful when approaching it to avoid being attacked."
"And those lava-like creatures, the Earth Devourers. He said their weakness is actually their fear of fire. We can quickly eliminate them by attacking them with fire. It's much easier than just blindly attacking them with water and lightning."
Then, Ying continued with a smile on her face:
"He also introduced me to many animals unique to Nata, such as the thick-necked pheasant. You have no idea how interesting it is!"
"Its tail, when spread out, looks like a flower, which is very beautiful, but it is also very timid. When it encounters a natural enemy, it likes to stick its head in the soil, thinking that others won't be able to find it. It's like trying to trick a flower, but it's so silly and adorable!"
Finally, Ying praised Kinich's skills without hesitation.
"By the way, Kinich's skills are pretty good too! We'll be staying near the Hanging Woodman from now on, maybe we can even ask him for some advice on adventuring techniques!"
Shao Yun sat aside, quietly listening to Ying chattering about her adventures in Nata. Looking at the expressions on her face that were sometimes excited, sometimes disgusted, and sometimes curious, a gentle smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
He reached out and gently ruffled Ying's hair, thinking to himself: In fact, no matter what Ying encountered or learned today, as long as she can share it so happily and have a good time in Nata, that is enough.
My wife's happiness is more important than anything else.
……
Ying talked about her adventures today until her mouth was dry, her eyelids started to droop, and she felt a little sleepy.
She yawned loudly, rubbed her eyes, and then stopped.
But after a few seconds of silence, Ying's eyes suddenly rolled, and most of her sleepiness was instantly dispelled.
She moved closer to Shao Yun, her nose almost touching his. She raised her eyebrows in a scornful manner and asked, "Honey, I've told you so much about my adventures with Kinich today. Are you jealous?"
Shao Yun was stunned by her sudden action. He blinked and asked in confusion:
"Why would I be jealous? You and Kinich are just completing adventures together and sharing experiences. What's there to be jealous of?"
Seeing his confused look, Ying laughed even more happily.
She deliberately put on an expression that looked like she was asking for a beating, tilted her head, and said with a long smile:
"You're just jealous! You must be feeling uncomfortable and secretly angry because you saw me going on an adventure with this new acquaintance, this skilled Kinich!"
Shao Yun looked at her deliberately teasing him, feeling both angry and amused. He reluctantly reached out and scratched the tip of her nose, saying:
"Hey! What do you take me for? When did I become so petty?"
"Besides, I've already said that I won't interfere with your adventurer work. I'm so happy that you can meet reliable friends and explore new things together. How could I be angry?"
Ying stared at Shao Yun's eyes for a few seconds, and seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending, she realized that her husband really didn't seem to be jealous.
But she didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, her joke just now was a bit sudden, so she stuck out her tongue and explained playfully:
"Hehe, just teasing you. Seeing you so nervous is quite funny! Actually, the reason I communicate with Kiniki more often isn't just for adventure."
"It's mainly because our future ranch is relatively close to the Hanging Wood Tribe. Building good relationships with the people in their tribe will make it easier to get along with them in the future."
She paused, put away her joking expression, and added seriously:
"If there's ever a conflict between you and the Hanging Wood people in the future, Kinich, as a reliable member of the tribe, could help mediate."
"I'm paving the way for our ranch!"
