Chapter 246 Family Union
246 Family Union
Xiao Lan couldn't stop laughing when Shen Yu told everyone how he had thought Ying Yue was a kind and innocent person initially, that she was being hunted by bad guys.
Even Song Junwan, who was usually reserved, was laughing loudly. She pointed at Ying Yue and asked, trying to control her laughter.
"Master, out of everyone, you thought she's a kind and innocent Soul?"
Ying Yue harrumphed and looked away, though she was happy inside. She just didn't want to show it.
Shen Yu shrugged and said.
"You should have seen her back then. Seriously, I've misunderstood you lot just like you did. I even thought Ming'er was very innocent."
Hearing that, Song Junwan stopped laughing and turned to look at her younger sister whose face instantly turned bright red. The older sister looked at her up and down and said.
"I have to say, Master, you have some eye sickness. There's no way she is innocent. She literally cuts people in half without thinking twice."
"Hey!"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Lan Ming fell silent and looked away, refusing to answer. She was just happy that her Master wanted to spoil her because she was innocent. Yup, she definitely was.
As the most recent member of the family, Li Xiaojing just listened to everything and never for once did her smile leave her face. Only now she realized why Shen Yu wanted her to meet his family.
This was addictive and she was sure if she stayed for some time, she wouldn't be able to live without them. It was a new side to her life and she was enjoying it.
'What a lovely group of people they are.'
Xiao Lan cleared her throat and said.
"Alright, my turn. So, basically, for me Master was a Primordial entity surpassing even Divine Realm. It isn't false in a way but I still find it funny."
Song Junwan chuckled softly and asked.
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
Shaking her head, Xiao Lan replied when she remembered her first meeting with Shen Yu.
"It's because I almost died the first time I met him. I was doubtful, so I checked him with my Divine Soul, and just a single glance almost erased my soul from existence." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Me? What?"
[It's because of your unique Soul, Master. She tried to probe you and got backlash. Good thing she withdrew quickly, otherwise she would have died right there and then.]
Xiao Lan nodded and said.
"Yes, Master. I think it's related to that system you have and maybe she protected you. That reminds me, we would like to welcome our new sister so where is she?"
Smiling, Shen Yu asked mentally.
'Are you ready?'
[Somewhat.]
He chuckled as this was the first time he found her nervous, as Nancy was always straightforward. Even while talking about Outer Gods, she wasn't this nervous or scared.
Waving his hand, he opened a portal to the system space as a circular gap in space formed beside him. A beautiful young woman walked out of it, her gaze passing to everyone present around the table. She hadn't changed her appearance but Shen Yu still felt a tug at his heart looking at her.
While he was looking at her, others also began to assess their new sister.
She was an elegant woman with flowing chestnut hair swept back into a relaxed bun, with a few loose strands softly framing her face. Her eyes were mesmerizing, emerald in hue, and appeared to glimmer gently under the ambient light.
Her demeanor was serene and self-assured, with a broad grin gracing her lips. She donned a light blue blouse with the upper buttons unbuttoned, revealing a hint of her neckline and a delicate pendant featuring a sapphire resting against her collarbone.
The blouse was cinched into a pleated skirt, and she also wore a casually draped scarf around her neck, giving her the appearance of a young woman poised to embark on her first day at college.
Shen Yu could only shake his head in defeat, as he knew she wanted to continue their roleplay of teacher and student. Well, who was he to deny since he liked it too.
Nancy looked at everyone and bowed lightly.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Nancy and a new addition to family."
Everyone listened to her carefully, and waited for the answer. After all, she was the one who made Shen Yu that strong, so it meant she was even more powerful. They couldn't even comprehend the realm she had attained.

"Nancy...what an odd name."
Xiao Lan muttered, though she quickly stood and went towards Nancy. Stopping before her, she began to look at her up and down, then said.
"I still can't believe you actually destroyed my soul in a single glance. How powerful are you even?"
Everyone listened to her carefully, and waited for the answer. After all, she was the one who made Shen Yu that strong, so it meant she was even more powerful. They couldn't even comprehend the realm she had attained.
Nancy smiled and replied.
"I'm not sure about my power level, but I can erase your Divine Realm with a single thought."
Everyone felt a chill and began to look at her in new light. How could such a young beautiful lady be so powerful? She looked so harmless.
Turning towards Shen Yu, Nancy continued.
"As for destroying your soul, it wasn't me, really. You see, Master has a unique origin and because of it, a unique Soul. Even I wouldn't dare to touch his Soul without his permission."
Xiao Lan blinked and then asked the question everyone had in their mind.
"But Master came from a mortal world, right? So how is that possible?"
Nancy shook her head and said.
"There are a lot of things we can't tell you because it will just put everyone in danger. So, I hope you don't ask these questions."
Shen Yu stood up and came towards them as he said.
"She's right. I had decided to share everything and be open to you. Unfortunately, there are things I can't share even if I want to. For example, her origin."
After lingering for a while, Xiao Lan shrugged and said.
"It's fine, Master. I understand the dangers of the top as I've personally witnessed some of the most horrifying things. One of my friends died just because she said a certain someone's name. And that someone was living very far away. It's a crazy world out there."
