Under the scrutiny of the father-in-law, please the future mother-in-law directly!
Xiao Fan could feel all sorts of gazes from the crowd: envy, jealousy, astonishment – a myriad of emotions intermingled.
Especially upon seeing the little girl in NanGong XiMeng's arms, countless people were even more dumbfounded.
Amidst these gazes, Xiao Fan felt a hint of unwelcome scrutiny.
He smiled and looked into the distance, as if inadvertently looking up.
He only saw a red-eyed youth silently lower his head.
A Grand Unity Golden Immortal, with incredibly strong Luck.
As expected, at various grand events, the Child of Destiny, though late, always arrived.
"Let's go," NanGong XiMeng said.
"Mm."
However, he wasn't in a hurry; he'd take it slow for now.
Chen Ye silently lowered his head and left; he hadn't expected the Nangong Family's Young Miss to wear a veil.
But it didn't matter.
He saw a little child, and taking her as a hostage would be more convenient.
Just as they reached the main gate, the butler immediately stepped forward and said, "Welcome, Young Miss, back to the manor."
Following that, rows of maids and guards also bowed in salute, uttering words of welcome.
NanGong XiMeng told them to rise and arranged for the Tiandao Sect's accompanying personnel.
But when they saw the White Tiger Star Lord, they were still startled.
"Young Miss, this, this, this is…"
The butler was so shocked he was incoherent. A Chaos Realm tiger demon, is this a Senior from the Tiandao Sect?
Xiao Fan stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, it's just one of my accompanying mounts; it won't harm anyone."
Only then did the butler turn his gaze to Xiao Fan: imposing and dignified in appearance, with a delicate handsomeness amidst his masculinity—a truly magnificent young Prodigy.
A Chaos Realm mount? This Young Master's background is quite significant.
He said, somewhat uncertainly, "Young Miss, is this the son-in-law?"
NanGong XiMeng nodded slightly, leaning on his shoulder, giving an affirmative answer.
The butler immediately said, "Welcome, son-in-law."
Seeing how well he spoke, Xiao Fan didn't hesitate to give him a pile of rare treasures.
For him, the usefulness of treasures was already minimal.
But for the butler, these items were incredibly rare treasures.
Especially the items Xiao Fan gave, imbued with a faint, ethereal sense of Chaos, clearly indicated a profound origin.
The butler beamed with joy, thinking, it seems this son-in-law has a deep family background.
Some sharp-eyed Prodigies seemed to recognize Xiao Fan.
"Isn't he that young man who rampaged through the Battleground Forbidden Land?"
The forces that could come here were either rich or noble, and naturally, there were many who had emerged from the Forbidden Ground.
One stone stirred a thousand ripples; Xiao Fan's identity was discovered.
So it was him.
A peerless Prodigy and an unparalleled divine maiden—it seemed everything was excusable.
Xiao Fan followed NanGong XiMeng's steps and entered the Nangong Family manor.
Not long after entering, a dignified and solemn middle-aged man walked towards them.
Beside him stood an elegant and beautiful woman in a cyan palace dress, bearing a seven-tenths resemblance to NanGong XiMeng.
The middle-aged man looked directly at Xiao Fan with a solemn expression, as if scrutinizing him.
Xiao Fan met his gaze and felt something strange.
Do we have a grudge?
Fortunately, the woman beside him had a gentle gaze; she smiled at Xiao Fan, nodding with some satisfaction.
"Father, Mother."
NanGong XiMeng released Xiao Fan's arm and stepped forward to bow to the two of them.
The middle-aged man looked at NanGong XiMeng with loving eyes and smiled, saying, "You're back."
The beautiful woman in the palace dress took NanGong XiMeng's hand and curiously looked at the little girl in her arms.
"Xi Meng, who is she?"
"Her name is Xiao Fang, isn't she cute?" NanGong XiMeng said.
Xiao Fang was not reserved and smiled at the woman, saying, "Hello."
That tender, sweet laughter made the beautiful woman beam with joy, wanting to hold her.
Damn, so it was the old man.
Xiao Fan instantly understood; no wonder that look was as if he wanted to kill him.
"Uncle, Aunt."
Xiao Fan politely greeted the two of them.
He received only a lukewarm nod from the middle-aged man.
Only the beautiful woman had a better attitude, telling Xiao Fan not to be so polite.
The old man seems a bit difficult to deal with.
Xiao Fan secretly resolved to directly curry favor with his future mother-in-law.
He completely ignored the old man and said to his future mother-in-law, "First meeting, just a small gift, please accept it, Aunt, do not decline."
When visiting his father-in-law's family, Xiao Fan was quite thoughtful.
He took out the gift box he had prepared beforehand and handed it over.
The beautiful woman looked at the exquisite and noble box, somewhat surprised.
What kind of family is this, for the box itself to have a Chaos aura?
Moreover, with her discerning eye, she could naturally tell that this gift box was crafted from extremely rare Chaos Divine Jade.
If the box alone was so precious, what kind of rare items must be inside?
The Nangong Family Head was also slightly surprised. Good lad, trying to win favor with wealth.
But if you don't get my approval, don't even think about taking my daughter away!
NanGong XiMeng said, "Mother, just accept what Xiao Fan gave you. Are you going to make him hold it forever?"
"Alright, that was thoughtful," she said with a smile, accepting it, and her impression of Xiao Fan grew even better.
This young man is also very handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor, showing no signs of nervousness.
He clearly is someone who has seen the world; the younger generation is formidable.
This wasn't all; Xiao Fan continued to take out another supreme treasure.
Actually, it wasn't really a supreme treasure, just that it had a special effect.
"The gift box just now was my meeting gift for both elders."
"This one is something I specifically prepared for you, Aunt; it is absolutely a rare and unique treasure."
With him saying that, the beautiful woman also became interested; this young man was quite well-prepared.
It seems he values my Xi Meng very much.
The Nangong Family Head was completely ignored by Xiao Fan, left to cool off for a bit.
But he couldn't say anything, after all, the other person gave precious treasures upon meeting.
He couldn't possibly accept someone's things and then give them a cold shoulder, could he?
Xiao Fan took out a Tai Xu Time Spirit plant with nine flowers and explained to her:
This flower grows in the time currents of the Chaos Void Realm, absorbing the chaotic time energy from the Void Realm. It sprouts a new leaf every ten million years, and one flower takes a hundred million years to mature.
Its fragrance is refreshing, and it has the miraculous effect of making one radiant.
Even for someone who has lived for countless eons, just swallowing one petal can eliminate the ravages of time and restore the natural beauty of their maiden years.
Love for beauty is a woman's nature.
Although the beautiful woman in the palace dress looked no different from a young girl, time had still left traces of age on her face.
She no longer had the graceful beauty of her maiden years, only memories to cherish.
But now there was a miraculous flower that could allow her to regain that maidenly aura, how could this not excite her?
"Does this flower really have such a miraculous effect?"
She said incredulously, more excited than when she received the gift box.
"Of course, and only Aunt can truly be worthy of this flower."
The beautiful woman in the palace dress was overjoyed by Xiao Fan's praise; this young man was very good with words.
Just a few short sentences caused his future mother-in-law's favorability towards Xiao Fan to skyrocket.
He truly knew best how to please women.
"Butler, why aren't you quickly arranging a separate courtyard for this Young Master?" she instructed her subordinate.
"Madam, it's already being arranged."
"Then hurry up."
"Alright, I'll go urge them now."
The beautiful woman continued, "Xi Meng, take Xiao Fan around and let him familiarize himself with the environment."
"Mm, your daughter understands."
"I'll take Xiao Fang for you two; take your time strolling."
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt."
He then nodded slightly to the Nangong Family Head, making a perfect exit.
Seeing the two walk away, the beautiful woman, who had been smiling cheerfully, instantly changed her expression.
She pointed at the Nangong Family Head and said, "What do you mean by that? You gave him a cold shoulder as soon as he arrived, didn't you?"
"A woman's shortsightedness. I could tell he wasn't a good person; our daughter was definitely deceived."
Xiao Fang, hearing someone speak ill of Xiao Fan, said unhappily, "Daddy is not a bad person."
He wanted to say something else, but before he could open his mouth, he was scolded.
"I think you just find fault with everyone. Stay out of our daughter's marriage."
He said, somewhat lacking confidence, "A woman's softheartedness, you were fooled by just one flower."
"I want to see what he brought. My daughter is not someone who can be easily fooled."
He took the exquisite and beautiful gift box and slowly opened it.
Finally, he said with a look of astonishment, "This is…"
