Chapter 91: It’s Good You’re Back

Inside the house, Ling Xuemei was sobbing softly.

 Her tears flowed like a broken string of pearls.

Ji Yanting paced back and forth, his brow furrowed. He was also anxious and worried about his daughter’s safety, but he could only pretend to be calm.

“Don’t worry. Our daughter is so smart. She’ll be fine. She’ll be back soon.”

He didn’t actually have any confidence, but he knew he couldn’t lose his composure at this time. Otherwise, Xuemei would be even more worried.

Time passed by minute by minute. Every second was torture for them.

Ji Yanting’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. He silently prayed that his daughter would return safely.

 He had sent people to find Yaoyao, but two hours had passed, and there was still no news.

When they heard the sound of the door opening outside, Ling Xuemei and Ji Yanting’s hearts tightened.

They turned their heads towards the door in unison.

When they saw Ling Yao walking in, their eyes lit up instantly. They rushed towards her eagerly.

“Yaoyao, you’re back!” Ling Xuemei’s voice trembled, her eyes filled with concern.

“Are you okay?” Ji Yanting looked at Ling Yao with concern.

Ling Yao shook her head gently, “I’m sorry! I worried you.”

She looked at the tear stains that hadn’t dried on Ling Xuemei’s face, and her heart was filled with guilt and self-reproach.

“Why did you come back so late? Did something happen?” Ling Xuemei reached out and took Ling Yao’s hand.

At this moment, her heart finally settled.

Ling Yao hesitated for a moment and briefly recounted what had happened.

Every word was like a heavy hammer, pounding on Ling Xuemei and Ji Yanting’s hearts.

“Damn it!” Ji Yanting’s face turned extremely gloomy. He angrily clenched his fists, walked over to the phone, and dialed without hesitation.

 He would make those human traffickers who kidnapped his daughter pay!

Ling Xuemei hugged Ling Yao tightly, as if she wanted to rub her into her body.

Her tears flowed again, dripping onto Ling Yao’s shoulders, “It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back…”

 As long as her daughter returned safely, everything else was fine.

“Mom! I’ll never let you and Dad worry anymore.” Ling Yao hugged Ling Xuemei back, her eyes shining with determination.

On the other side, Lu Qingyun had already set off for the army. The human traffickers, with their leader killed, had become a scattered force.

With a little effort, they all confessed.

But they didn’t know who was behind them. So, the mission had to be investigated further.

“Captain! That was my sister-in-law, right?” Deputy Captain Zhang Zhihai smiled at Lu Qingyun.

This was the first time he had seen the Captain look at a girl so tenderly.

 But he had to admit, the sister-in-law was really beautiful. It made him want to find a girlfriend too.

Lu Qingyun nodded. Thinking of Ling Yao, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“Captain! How did you meet my sister-in-law?”

“Captain! When are you going to treat us to a wedding feast?”

“Yeah, we all want to drink to you and my sister-in-law’s happiness.”

“Sister-in-law is so beautiful. You have to hurry up, Captain.”

A hint of longing flashed in Lu Qingyun’s eyes. He also wanted to marry Yaoyao home quickly, but she had only just agreed to be his girlfriend.

How could she agree to marry him so soon? It was really a worry.

In the quiet space, Ling Yao focused on refining pills.

Now, every day, she would secretly add a carefully refined health pill to her parents’ food.

As time passed, she could clearly feel that her parents’ mental and physical condition had significantly improved.

Now, her parents’ bodies had gradually recovered and could withstand higher-level pills.

 So, she planned to refine beauty pills and health pills and give them to her parents separately.

Xinghuo ran happily beside her, his eyes occasionally glancing at the alchemy furnace, filled with anticipation for the pills.

Time flowed quietly. A refreshing medicinal fragrance gradually wafted from the alchemy furnace.

Xinghuo’s agile figure flew like an arrow to the side of the alchemy furnace.

He stuck out his pink tongue, his eyes fixed on the furnace, as if it contained some rare treasure.

Ling Yao gently opened the alchemy furnace and carefully took out the refined beauty pills.

These pills were round and full, crystal clear, and emitted a tempting and rich medicinal fragrance.

She picked up one and put it in her mouth. The pill melted instantly, turning into strands of medicinal liquid that flowed slowly down her throat like a clear spring, bringing a sense of intoxicating pleasure.

Ling Yao felt as if every pore on her body had opened at that moment. An indescribable sense of comfort surged through her.

 She raised her hand and carefully examined the skin on her hand.

She was surprised to find that her already fair and jade-like skin had become even more delicate, as smooth as sheep fat.

“It’s truly amazing. The beauty pill really works.”

“Woof! Woof!” Xinghuo barked at Ling Yao, his eyes full of longing. The dog wanted to eat too.

Ling Yao smiled and rubbed Xinghuo’s head, “This is for girls. You can’t eat it.”

“Woof…” Xinghuo whimpered and lay down on the ground.

Ling Yao took out a few ordinary pills and handed them to Xinghuo, “This is for you.”

Xinghuo immediately perked up. His blue eyes sparkled like gems, “Woof woof woof!” The owner is so kind!

Ling Yao smiled and continued refining pills. She selected the herbs carefully and controlled the heat and dosage, ensuring that every pill reached its optimal effect.

After refining this batch of pills, she planned to refine some healing pills and send them to Lu Qingyun.

Thinking of Lu Qingyun, Ling Yao couldn’t help but smile faintly. They had only been apart for a short time, but she missed him already.

As dawn approached, Ling Yao put away the alchemy furnace and exited the space.

She gently pulled open the bedroom door and stepped out.

 Seeing that her parents’ bedroom door was still closed, she knew they hadn’t woken up yet.

 Thinking back to last night, her parents had stayed up late worrying about her, a wave of warmth washed over her.

She went to the kitchen and skillfully tied on an apron, preparing breakfast for her parents.

The kitchen was filled with a fragrant aroma. The sun slowly climbed into the sky, illuminating the world.

Golden sunlight streamed through the window, falling on Ling Yao’s face like a veil, as white as porcelain.

 It was as if she were draped in a golden robe, making her radiate a captivating aura.

Hearing footsteps, Ling Yao turned and saw Ling Xuemei. She smiled, “Mom!”

Ling Xuemei walked into the kitchen and was surprised to see the breakfast already prepared,

 “Why did you get up so early today? Don’t you have another day off?”

She walked over and took Ling Yao’s hand, looking at her with worry, “Yaoyao, were you scared yesterday?”

Thinking back to yesterday, she still felt a little uneasy. It was good that her daughter was okay.

“No, I just wanted to make breakfast and eat with you.” Ling Yao acted cutely and held Ling Xuemei’s arm, pulling her to the table and sitting down.

 “Mom, this is the scallion pancake I made. Try it and see if it’s delicious.”

Ling Xuemei picked up a scallion pancake and took a bite. The fragrance instantly filled her mouth, “Delicious!”

“If you like it, eat more. I’ll go get Dad to come eat breakfast.” Ling Yao smiled, picked up a scallion pancake, and walked out, eating as she went.

Ling Xuemei shook her head with a smile, her eyes filled with indulgence.
