A Leisurely Life with a Girl

Chapter 7 A Leisurely Life with a Girl

Since Shen Hanyu returned home, Qin Yi and Shen Junhe have officially entered into a life of retirement. They don't care about the two siblings at all, except for occasionally asking them a few questions when they bump into each other in the backyard. Otherwise, they are nowhere to be seen, having gone off to talk about love.

Shen Hanyu was speechless, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only cultivate while taking care of Shen Liuyu.

The medicinal effects of the thousand-year-old snow lotus are too powerful. Shen Liuyu, who is not even a Soul Master yet, is unable to absorb this energy, so he has not absorbed it for the time being.

But the Shen family has never lacked medicinal herbs, since the family has always been in the medicinal herb business. It would be laughable if they didn't have some stockpiled.

Shen Liuyu didn't seem to have any complaints. He followed Shen Hanyu around all day, calling him "brother" this and "brother" that, showing signs of becoming a tagalong.

Shen Hanyu, who usually has little patience, was surprisingly calm and even seemed to enjoy his sister's presence, not finding it annoying at all.

As for the development trajectory of the original world, it was roughly that after Shen Liuyu broke through to become a Soul Master, he was sent to Tianshui Academy to study, because Shen Junhe did indeed discuss this matter with Shen Hanyu in private.

Shen Hanyu had no objection to his sister going to Tianshui Academy. It was an all-girls academy, so he didn't have to worry about his sister being tricked by that blond guy. Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that the other guy's whole family would still be on their necks.

Moreover, as a formal member of the Tianshui Academy's future team, Shen Liuyu naturally doesn't need to worry about being mistreated. On the contrary, the education she receives and the resources she can enjoy are the best.

………………

Although Shen Liuyu could not consume the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, Shen Hanyu found another treasure—whale glue.

This is just a piece of whale glue that is seven hundred years old, made from the soul beast narwhal, and its market price is probably a few hundred gold soul coins.

In this era, people's use of whale glue was limited to aphrodisiacs and enhancing sexual pleasure. Naturally, they did not know the true uses of whale glue. Although it was rare, at least there were traces of it.

That afternoon, Shen Hanyu led his parents and Shen Liuyu into the dark room of his house.

In the darkroom.

Shen Junhe was using his soul power to refine the whale glue, while Qin Yi sat to the side with some doubt. Shen Liuyu almost couldn't control her saliva as she smelled the strange fragrance emanating from the whale glue as it was being refined.

"Ah Yu, are you sure whale glue works?"

Qin Yi still asked, uneasy.

Shen Hanyu smiled and said:

"Mom, don't worry, would I ever betray my own sister? Whale glue is just as effective as some rare and precious herbs, you'll see soon enough..."

Shen Junhe did not participate in the conversation and continued to focus on refining the whale glue. He was an ice-attribute soul master, and refining whale glue was a bit troublesome. However, there was no fire-attribute soul master in his family whom he could completely trust, so he had to rely on his abundant soul power to slowly grind it down.

Finally, through Shen Junhe's continuous efforts, a lump of jelly-like whale glue, somewhere between liquid and solid, appeared in Shen Junhe's hand.

Shen Hanyu turned to look at Shen Liuyu and said with utmost seriousness:

"Ayu, the taste of whale gelatin is disgusting at first, you have to hold on and not throw up. Trust me, it tastes really good later."

Shen Liuyu nodded repeatedly, her small hands clenched into fists, her eyes filled with determination.

But as soon as she took her first bite of whale gelatin, the resolute look on the little girl's face was almost completely shattered.

If I had to say, my complexion was worse than when I was constipated...

Shen Hanyu, anxiously watching from the side, quickly said:

"Ayu, hang in there, just chew a couple of times and then swallow it."

Shen Liuyu shed two crystal tears, forced herself to chew a few more times, and then surprisingly showed a look of enjoyment, her face full of satisfaction.

Shen Hanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to watch his younger sister switch between disgust and enjoyment for a full half hour.

When the last mouthful of whale jelly was finished, Shen Liuyu suddenly felt hot, as if he had been placed on a steamer.

Shen Hanyu stopped the two elders who were anxious to rush forward and quickly said:

"Mom and Dad, this is normal, please wait a moment."

Shen Junhe and Qin Yi slowly sat back down, their eyes filled with worry.

About an hour later, a fluctuation of soul power emanated from Shen Liuyu, followed by a series of cracking sounds from his bones.

Shen Liuyu, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly opened her eyes and looked at the scene before her with some confusion.

Qin Yi and Shen Junhe immediately surrounded them and said:

"Ayu, how are you feeling?"

Shen Liuyu rubbed her slightly blurry eyes and whispered:

"I feel warm and cozy all over, which is quite comfortable."

"And it seems I've broken through to become a Soul Master."

Qin Yi and Shen Junhe's faces lit up with joy, and then they quickly asked:

"Ayu, is anything bothering you? Don't hide anything, tell Mom and Dad everything."

Shen Liuyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said:

"I'm still a little sleepy, I want to sleep a little longer, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hanyu and the other two exchanged glances, and then all burst out laughing.

Shen Hanyu picked the little girl up in his arms, gently rubbed her cheeks, and said:

"Get a good night's sleep tonight. Tomorrow, your brother will take you to hunt for spirit rings. Then our Ayu will officially become a spirit master."

Shen Liuyu nodded obediently, gently nuzzled Shen Hanyu's chest with her little head, and then slowly closed her eyes.

Qin Yi and Shen Junhe exchanged a glance, remaining silent in tacit agreement, their gazes softening as they watched the brother and sister's departing figures...

………………

The Shen family's medicinal herb business is quite famous in the surrounding area.

Their main business mainly deals in common medicinal herbs produced in the far north and those from the nearby mountains and forests. Due to their excellent geographical location, the Shen family's medicinal herb business has always been very profitable.

Having frequently engaged in this type of business, the Shen family's warehouse naturally accumulated some rather precious medicinal herbs, and even a five-thousand-year-old soul bone, which was placed in the innermost hidden compartment of the warehouse, making it the only soul bone in the entire Shen family.

According to Qin Yi, this soul bone was accidentally "found" by Shen Junhe when he led a team to collect herbs in a nearby soul beast forest a few years ago.

It's impossible to determine which spirit beast it came from, and the spirit bone itself is somewhat damaged, not entirely intact. However, judging from the spirit power fluctuations it emits, it should be a leg bone from a rhinoceros-type spirit beast, belonging to the power-type spirit bone category.

Shen Hanyu had also seen this soul bone, but he really wasn't interested in it. Firstly, the soul bone was too young, and secondly, its quality was just average.

After selecting some medicinal herbs in the warehouse, Shen Hanyu hurriedly left. It has to be said that the long-term storage of medicinal herbs had given the warehouse a smell reminiscent of a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy from his previous life. Whether it smelled good or bad was debatable, but it was certainly somewhat pungent.

Based on his own judgment, Shen Hanyu instructed two maids to help prepare all the medicinal herbs into a medicinal bath. The list of medicinal bath ingredients was sourced from a small market in Tianbing City, and the effects were quite good.

In addition to giving the medicinal bath recipe to his parents and instructing them to let Shen Liuyu soak in it every three days, Shen Hanyu also revealed that he possessed more than one soul bone.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that one day his parents might have a change of heart and give his brother and sister that five-thousand-year-old soul bone to absorb, which would really be a disservice to the children.

Qin Yi and Shen Junhe remained as shocked as ever about this matter, but they didn't inquire too much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and as elders, they could only provide the help they could, and the rest had to be left to themselves.
