Chapter 95: Bracing Himself to Meet the Parents Flying Pig Web

  Su Mengxi's head was big after hearing these names, she had indeed read about the Xian Xia genre, but what she read were all plot stories, and the methods and uses of alchemy were just glanced over, and she couldn't remember them at all. It was precisely so that Su Mengxi hurriedly interrupted Li Yi's words, saying: "You'd better tell me, what are the uses of these elixirs?"

  "After taking the Great Supplement Pill, one's body becomes as strong as an ox and their strength becomes boundless." Li Yi said slowly.

  Su Mengxi rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't that a Power Pill?"

  "Da Bu Wan has the power of Da Li Wan, buying one pill has two effects, isn't it a good deal?" Li Yi's tone changed and he continued to introduce, "Zhu Yan Dan, as its name suggests, after taking it, you can forever maintain your youth, and your appearance will always stay at the moment when you took it. This is a must-have medicine for beautiful women traveling."

  Wow!!!

  Su Mengxi's eyes widened in surprise and delight: "Really? There is such a pill? You're not just trying to make me happy, are you deceiving me?"

  "Uh...do I need to deceive you?" Li Yi said with a bitter smile, "You didn't believe me when I said I was a cultivator before, but now you do, don't you?"

  Su Mengxi thought for a moment and chuckled: "When can you refine a Rejuvenating Pellet for me?"

  "This, I have no place to refine now! First, there is no alchemy room, second, there is no medicine cauldron, and third, there are no alchemy materials." Li Yi said gloomily, what he didn't say was that for now, it's just theory, can't put into practice.

  "Refining elixirs doesn't require a medicine cauldron and medicinal materials?" Su Mengxi said, "Don't worry about the medicine cauldron, I'll help you buy one at the antique market later."

  Li Yi let out a bitter laugh and said, "What you said is true, but there's one more thing I don't have - I haven't cultivated the Dan Fire."

  "Golden Elixir fire?" Su Mengxi said disappointedly, "It seems that my Rejuvenating Pellet has gone to waste."

  "No dan fire, we can use gas! The effect should be similar!" Li Yi thought and said.

  Su Mengxi was stunned and exclaimed: "Can flammable gas also be used for alchemy?"

  "I don't know if I can replace Dan Huo either." Li Yi was uncertain, after all, this was his first time refining a pill.

  "A dead horse is a doctor for a live horse! Hopefully, it can be done." Su Mengxi chatted with Li Yi about alchemy again and finally lost interest, saying that he couldn't do it, no matter how hard he tried.

  The eleven long holidays had seven days, Li Yi temporarily didn't need to go home, and stayed at Su Mengxi's house for these few days.

  On the third day in the afternoon, Li Yi received a call. He took a glance at the unfamiliar number and said, "Hello, who is this?"

  "Li Yi, it's me. I'm Wang Shanshan. Where are you?" came the voice of Wang Shanshan from the other end of the phone. Her voice was not loud, but very urgent.

  "Shanshan, how did you know my number?" Li Yi was surprised, he didn't seem to have told Wang Shanshan his number!

  "Xiao Fei told me that she didn't see your phone?" Wang Shanshan said, "At that time, she remembered the number and told me to call this phone if I had something to find you."

  Li Yi nodded vaguely and said, "What's up so early? Is there something on your mind?" After speaking, he took a sip of millet porridge.

  On the other end of the phone, Wang Shanshan said something that Li Yi never thought he would hear in his dreams.

  "My parents want to meet you..."

  "Ahh!!!"

  Li Yi spat out the millet porridge in his mouth, took a deep breath of cool air and said: "Shanshan, what did you just say? Your parents want to see me?"

  "Hmm! They are in the store right now, when is it convenient for you to come over?" Wang Shanshan asked.

  Li Yi was taken aback and asked: "Have your parents returned?"

  "They came back last night, and this morning when they were talking to Zhang Xiaoliang, they inadvertently found out about us, so they want to take a look at you." Wang Shanshan said in a low voice, "My parents seem to think that you are a bad boy who mixes with the world, and they oppose our being together. If you come, you'd better behave yourself."

  "Alright! I'll go over later." Li Yi thought for a moment and still decided to go see Wang Shanshan's parents.

  After hanging up the phone, Su Mengxi looked at him with a tilted head and smiled: "What's wrong that scared you like this?"

  "This is serious." Li Yi said gloomily, "It's not easy to solve!"

  "What's unsolvable about it? You handled the director in Yunnan Province, can't you handle this small matter?" Su Mengxi smiled and took a sip of millet porridge.

  "You also know what's going on over there?" Li Yi didn't hide it and said truthfully, "Wang Shanshan's parents want to see me."

  "What?" Su Mengxi was also startled, but she didn't spit out the porridge in her mouth. She chuckled and said, "Good thing! Anyway, they're going to be my future in-laws, might as well meet them sooner or later."

  "It's easy for you to say! I'm still a student!" Li Yi said with a headache, "If we go see your parents, I don't know if you'll be able to smile."

  "I also wanted to bring my parents to meet you! But with your current abilities, even if they met you, I'm afraid they won't agree to our relationship." Su Mengxi sighed and changed the subject, "Let's go buy some clothes for you later! You're my man, no matter how others look at you, in my eyes, you're the best."

  Li Yi was deeply moved by these words and immediately hugged Su Mengxi in his arms.

  Su Mengxi leaned into Li Yi's arms, resting her head on his chest and said: "Alright, stop being affectionate here, let's think about how to solve this matter instead!"

  "When the enemy comes, we'll defend; when the flood comes, we'll dam it. I'm going all out today." Li Yi had no experience and didn't even know how to win over Wang Shanshan's parents.

  "I'll tell you a secret, first ask Wang Shanshan who has the final say in their family, as long as we can take down the opponent, everything will be easy to handle." Su Mengxi bought a new casual outfit for Li Yi, and indeed, clothes make the man, Buddha relies on gold. This saying is not wrong at all, after Li Yi put it on, he looked much more handsome.

  The car stopped on the street outside the campus, Su Mengxi saw him off and said, "I'll go back first, if anything happens, remember to call me."

  "Uh-huh! When I'm done with work, remember to come pick me up." Li Yi bid farewell to Su Mengxi and reluctantly headed towards Wang Shanshan's store.

  When he arrived at the storefront, Li Yi only discovered that the store had not opened yet. Tens of meters away, in front of another storefront, Zhang Xiaoliang and others were sitting on the steps smoking, with cigarette butts all over the ground. Seeing Li Yi approaching, everyone hastily threw down their cigarettes and quickly ran over. Zhang Xiaoliang's first words were an apology: "Yi Ge, sorry, I said something wrong yesterday."

  "Hum! You still have the nerve to come see me, how are you going to resolve this?" Zhang Xiaoliang said.

  "I've never met the mother-in-law either!" Zhang Xiaoliang said with a drooping head, "Otherwise, I'll bring a few brothers in and ask them if they're willing to marry their daughter to you."

  "Get out!!!"

  Li Yi glared at him and said in a bad temper: "We are not gangsters now, even if we want to get his daughter, we can't use such means."

  "Brother Yi, we have no other choice, this is the result of our discussion!" Zhang Xiaoliang said.

  Li Yi knew that asking them would not yield a good solution, so he didn't ask. Instead, he said: "I'm asking you, when you saw his parents yesterday, who had the final say?"

  "Does what I say count?" Zhang Xiaoliang was stunned, seemingly unable to grasp the meaning behind the words.

  "It's just who is in charge."

  "Oh! This one! It seems like Wang Shanshan's mother is in charge at home, when she speaks, even Wang Shanshan's father doesn't dare to make a sound." Zhang Xiaoliang said.

  Li Yi nodded slightly, mentally calculating, and said: "You wait here, if there's any situation I'll send you a text message, do as I say."

  "Brother Yi, we are waiting for your orders at any time." Zhang Xiaoliang said with a pat on his chest.

  Li Yi tidied up his clothes and strode towards the shop front. Just as he reached the door, he saw Wang Shanshan poking her head out to look around.

  Seeing Li Yi walking over, Wang Shanshan quickly put on her clothes and grabbed Li Yi's hand, saying: "Li Yi, do you remember what I said to you on the phone just now?"

  Li Yi was about to respond when a middle-aged woman walked out of the store and coughed lightly, saying: "Shanshan, is this the Li Yi you were talking about?"

  "It's him, mom." Wang Shanshan quickly let go of his hand and gave Li Yi a look before introducing, "Li Yi, this is my mom!"

  "Auntie, I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. I'll go buy some now." Li Yi regretted it, how could he have forgotten to buy something on his way here?

  Thinking about it, I guess it's because I haven't encountered this kind of situation often enough and don't have experience, which is why I ended up at a disadvantage.

  King Shanshan's mother looked about 40 years old, dressed in a fairly stylish outfit, wearing a black leather trench coat that appeared to be high-quality from the fabric. From her face, one could vaguely see her youthful appearance, and her looks were somewhat similar to King Shanshan's, indicating that she was also a great beauty when young.

  "Alright, if I didn't bring it then I just didn't! Let's go inside and talk!" Zhang Guilian waved her hand and walked into the store first.

  Li Yi and Wang Shanshan exchanged a glance, neither knowing what to do. The two of them seemed like children who had done something wrong, and could only steel themselves to enter the room. Upon arriving at the living room on the second floor, Old Wang and a man wearing a jacket were sitting together, speaking in hushed tones and occasionally bursting out laughing.

  Seeing Li Yi come in, Old Wang said: "Li Yi, you're here!"

  "Grandpa Wang, how's your body?" Li Yi had told Grandpa Wang before he left that he would be going to another province and wouldn't be able to come back for a while, so he gave him a massage several hours in advance to make sure he wouldn't have an attack.

  Old Wang smiled slightly and waved his hand: "My leg is nothing serious, pressing a few more times should be able to cure it completely."

  "Uncle, hello, I'm Li Yi." Li Yi wanted to shake hands like adults do when they meet, but seeing the serious expression on his uncle's face, he didn't know whether to extend his hand or not.

  "Am I that old?" Wang Dazhu, Wang Xinxin's father, turned to him with a kind face and said with a smile, "First of all, thank you for massaging my back. However, this doesn't mean I'm willing to marry my daughter off to you. I also know about what's going on between you and my daughter. You two are so young, do you think it's suitable for you to be in love?"

  "El... no, tío, en realidad nosotros tampoco estamos hablando de amor." Las palabras de Li Yi fueron interrumpidas por la madre de Wang Shanshan antes de que pudiera terminar.

  Zhang Guilian let out a cold snort and glared at Li Yi, saying sternly: "So you're saying that all you want to do is toy with my daughter's emotions?"

  "Auntie, you misunderstood me." Li Yi was really too nervous, he regretted saying that as soon as the words left his mouth.

  "Hum! You call him uncle, but you call me auntie. Am I older than him?" Zhang Guilian's face looked very unpleasant, and her first impression of Li Yi was very bad.

  "Auntie, I didn't mean it that way. What I meant to say is that Shanshan and I aren't really dating in the true sense of the word. We both have a good impression of each other and are just treating each other as very good friends for now." Li Yi organized his thoughts and said slowly, "Besides, we're not even at the age where we should be talking about marriage yet, so it's still too early to say anything about that."

  Upon hearing this, Wang Dazhu nodded in agreement, wanting to say something but didn't have a chance to open his mouth.

  Zhang Guilian suddenly became displeased, her face sank, and she questioned: "You don't want to marry my daughter, what are you talking about love with her? Is my daughter's youth going to be wasted on you?"
