Chapter 348: Acting as a Pig to Eat the Tiger (6)

“Ling Yun, I have to admit that your Night-Luminescent Pearl is really a rare treasure. However, this is still a Night-Luminescent Pearl, and you did say that my ginseng isn’t…”

After being dazed and shocked for half a day, Hu Shaobai finally came back to his senses. His expression looked incredibly ugly, and his face was so red that it was starting to turn purple. However, since things had reached this state, he was no longer willing to admit defeat.

At this moment, the way everyone looked at Hu Shaobai was no longer the same as before. They started changing sides, and they weren’t holding back in trying to support Ling Yun.

“How are you not admitting defeat even after this? He took out Night-Luminescent Pearls, and even though one of them might not be comparable to your nine-hundred-year-old ginseng, he took out eighteen of them. All of them are the same logan-size, so isn’t it obvious that his gift is greater than your ginseng?”

“Just admit defeat, you don’t have to force yourself. Sigh, the young people these days…”

Everyone started commenting, but contrary to before, all of the words were in support of Ling Yun.

Ling Yun glanced at Hu Shaobai before smiling. “I’m not done with the gifts yet. Why are you rushing? That is merely the appetizer!”

“nine-hundred-year-old ginseng, eh? Come, let me show you what a ginseng king is!”

The moment Ling Yun said that, he reached into his black plastic bag once more. He grabbed a massive ginseng as he waved it around in the air!

The spiritual energy permeated the whole place! Of course, only Ling Yun and Miracle Doctor Xue, who had reached the Xiantian Realm, could feel that.

“What! God! What… What a big ginseng!”

“How is this possible? How can there be such a huge ginseng? This… This is simply…”

This time, it was the men in the living room who were shouting frantically over this. They were all going crazy over it!

What Ling Yun brought out was like a newborn infant, but it was more like a shrunken old man with a white beard. The eyes and nose were all complete, and the beard was long and beautiful. Anyone would fall in love at the sight of this!

“Oh god, it has to be at least three to four kilograms, right? How did it grow so huge?”

“Ling Yun, hurry up and put it down! Don’t break it by swinging it around!”

Some people were so excited when they saw this massive ginseng that they grew worried. They were worried that Ling Yun would drop the ginseng or break it.

Miracle Doctor Xue no longer bothered about anything else as he was in complete shock. His body wavered a little as he darted right to the front of Ling Yun. He immediately grabbed the ginseng that was at least two thousand years old!

“Make way, make way! Hurry up, you’re all blocking my way!” The spirited and hearty old men could no longer care about their statuses as they rushed forward too.

All the other old men were struggling to squeeze through the crowd so that they could have a closer look at the ginseng in Miracle Doctor Xue’s hands. This was a ginseng that was truly in a human shape!

“This has to be at least two thousand five hundred years old. The human shape is out, and it looks like it can even run…”

“Ling Yun, this… where did you find it?” Miracle Doctor Xue’s eyes were sparkling, and his entire body was trembling with excitement. This was beyond his wildest dreams!

“Old Xue, hold the ginseng properly! If this ginseng king drops one tassel, I’m going to fight you for the rest of my life!”

The spirited old man saw how much Miracle Doctor Xue was trembling and cried out anxiously. He extended his arm cautiously to support the ginseng as he scolded Miracle Doctor Xue.

Ling Yun chuckled as he took out an even older ginseng king from the black plastic bag. He handed it to the spirited old man and said, “This grandpa, don’t be anxious! There is one more here!”

This one was even bigger, heavier, and it looked even clearer than the previous one. It was basically no different from a real old man!

“Oh my god, there is one more! Two! Two ginseng kings!”

The spirited old man almost fell forward from holding the ginseng in front of him. Fortunately, he still practiced his Tai Chi throughout the years, so he managed to regain his balance very quickly. As he stared at the ginseng in front of him, his eyeballs almost popped out!

He wasn’t the only one, because the eyeballs of everyone in the living room, including the previously fuming Hu Shaobai, almost flew out!

Two ginseng kings just like that? How was that possible? Hu Shaobai was about to go crazy at that moment. He was the young valley master of Miracle Physician Valley, so he was naturally an extraordinarily knowledgeable and experienced young man. One look and he knew that this was indeed a ginseng king of over three thousand years old!

Hu Shaobai knew that he was doomed this time around. Not just doomed, he would be doomed all the way back to his mother’s house!

He had indeed lost convincingly, and there wasn’t even a single shred of doubt.

At this moment, some people were fighting to stare at the two ginseng kings. However, more people had shifted their gaze away from the ginseng kings and back onto Ling Yun.

From the very beginning, everyone was guessing how impressive this young man had to be to deserve the admiration of Miracle Doctor Xue and Xue Meining.

After seeing him, they realized that he merely looked slightly better than other people. Other than that, he wasn’t from a renowned family, wore sloppy clothes, had no etiquette and appearance while eating, and spoke with no logic or common sense. At that moment, everyone was disappointed and looked down on him.

Currently, nobody dared to look down on Ling Yun anymore. On the contrary, everyone looked at him and treated him like a treasure. If they were to take a vote, it would be a unanimous outcome that the most precious thing in the room wasn’t the eighteen Night-Luminescent Pearls or the two ginseng kings. Instead, it would be the young man bringing all these items out!

Oh god, how much did all of them cost? Alright, they were basically priceless treasures that even money couldn’t buy!

Shock would be an understatement to describe how Xue Chengye and Zhang Manyun were currently feeling. Or rather, they didn’t have enough brain capacity to comprehend everything. Never in their wildest dreams would they expect their daughter to constantly remind them to make this a grand party because her boyfriend was attending. They never took it to heart, but this…

They suddenly realized how wrong they were, incredibly wrong!

What about Xue Meining? At this very moment, Xue Meining had fallen into Ling Yun’s arms with the Night-Luminescent Pearls clasped tightly in her hands. She was no longer able to stand from this happiness and glory attack. The items Ling Yun brought could no longer be considered birthday presents. Everything he brought for her would be able to move any girl to tears, let alone so many of them!

“Ling Yun, you went away for such a long time just to find Ning Er these birthday presents? This… This birthday gift is way too big…”

Miracle Doctor Xue finally shifted his gaze away from the ginseng king and back to Ling Yun. His lips were dry as he looked at Ling Yun with great astonishment!

He told him that this was his first time seeing such a huge ginseng king!

Ling Yun laughed as he reached his hands into the black plastic bag once more. Everyone saw that and took in a deep breath of cold air together!

Who knew what he was going to bring out next.

This time, Ling Yun took out a two-thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed. This wasn’t something that everyone recognized, so they were all staring at him patiently. They were waiting for him to explain what it was.

Miracle Doctor Xue was no longer able to conceal his happiness and amazement when he saw what Ling Yun brought out. He grabbed the ginseng king in one hand while using the other hand to take the Chinese Knotweed. He muttered to himself, “This is a two-thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed! If you take one bite out of this, even the white hair of an old man can turn black instantly. It is able to cure every illness and make one live longer. You, how did you even get your hands on this?”

Just like that, everyone in the room erupted!

Ling Yun held onto Ning Er as he said, “Grandpa Xue, I’ve been indebted to your care over this period of time. I’ve always wanted to find a way to repay you, yet I couldn’t find anything suitable. This isn’t for Ning Er, it’s for you. Please do accept it…”

Ling Yun’s sentence was enough to earn the admiration and respect of every shocked person in the room. Ling Yun’s words were beautiful, but his actions were even more magnificent! Nothing but admiration for this young man!

While others racked their brains to bring a birthday gift to win Xue Meining’s heart, Ling Yun didn’t only bring so many unbelievable items for Xue Meining. Additionally, he even prepared an extremely suitable gift for Miracle Doctor Xue. This was incredibly thoughtful on Ling Yun’s part, which displayed his filial piety!

At this moment, everyone was numbed from the numerous shocking things they witnessed in such a short period of time. If they were to continue being so excited, nobody’s heart would be able to take it.

Xue Chengye and Zhang Manyun had already put the Night-Luminescent Pearls away as they looked at how Ling Yun was holding their precious daughter. No matter how they looked at him, he was incredibly pleasing to the eye and heart.

If Ling Yun mentioned entering the bridal room with Ning Er now, as long as Ning Er agreed, the two of them would push them into the room!

Why would Ning Er not be willing? Of course, Ling Yun felt no need to request for something as boring as this.

If it wasn’t because of the negative pressure from Hu Shaobai, Long Tianyu, and the other young men, he hadn’t even planned to do this. There was a saying that, by revealing your wealth, thieves would start planning to rob or never stop thinking about it. He merely wanted to hand these items to Miracle Doctor Xue and Xue Meining when they were alone.

Miracle Doctor Xue laughed out loud happily when he heard this. “I can’t even use such a huge Chinese Knotweed. Moreover, this is more suitable for a woman to use!”

As Miracle Doctor Xue said that, he gave Ling Yun the eyes. Ling Yun knew that Miracle Doctor Xue was trying to get him to curry favor with Ning Er’s mother.

Ling Yun was well prepared, so he took out yet another massive Chinese Knotweed and handed it to Zhang Manyun respectfully. He smiled sweetly at Zhang Manyun as he said, “Auntie, this is to show my filial respect for you!”

“What? I have one too! This… This kid is really…”

Zhang Manyun was speechless on the spot!

To be honest, giving anything to anyone of the Xue Family was the same to them. However, doing it in front of so many people had a multiplier effect. This gave Zhang Manyun a feeling of superiority and sense that she mattered! This was naturally going to make her exceedingly elated!

Where else could one find a blessed mother like this? On the contrary, where on earth can she find a filial son-in-law like this?

Almost impossible!

“Brother Ling Yun, you’ve given me too many presents today. I don’t dare…”

Xue Meining was still lying in Ling Yun’s embrace as she lifted her adorable face to speak to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun smiled and laughed. “Ning Er, didn’t you say that you would like everything as long as it’s from me?”

Thunderous applause could be heard from the living room, and it was wave after wave of applause. It was basically a frantic tsunami of applause!
