Chapter 24 Persuading Mother-in-law

  Grandma Sun just returned from a big purchase and also doted on Wu Ming, so dinner was made very sumptuous.

  Wu Ming caught a whole afternoon of sparrows and was both tired and hungry. He naturally wolfed down his food, eating with great relish.

  Under his influence, even Sun Bao's and Little Dragon Girl's appetites seemed to have improved a lot.

  Three people are just like a family, and they already have a harmonious scene.

  After dinner, Wu Ming thought about passing on the Nine Yin Manual to Granny Sun and therefore didn't rush to go to Little Dragon Girl's room, instead following Granny Sun to her own room.

  "Hey kiddo, what's wrong? Don't you want to go to your sister Long's place?" Old Lady Sun joked, in her eyes, Wu Ming was just a little kid, naturally she wouldn't think about the precautions between men and women.

  "Wu Ming shook his head and said, 'Mom, it's not that, I have something good to give you.'"

  "What good things?" asked Grandma Sun with a smile.

  "Mom, didn't you say before that you wanted to restore your looks and cultivate a yin-yang ultimate internal skill? Do you know what the most powerful yin-yang internal skill in the martial arts world is, besides the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture?"

  "Need you ask? It's naturally the Nine Yin Manual. Your ancestor once said that the Nine Yin Manual is the most powerful martial art in the world, and whoever can obtain it and cultivate it successfully will be invincible under heaven."

  Wu Ming smiled and said: "Since mom knows about the Nine Yin Scripture, then I'll be straightforward. Actually, what I wanted to teach you is the Nine Yin Scripture."

  The old lady was shocked and quickly asked: "Child, you're not talking nonsense, are you?"

  Wu Ming shook his head and smiled: "Mom, when did the child ever say nonsense? If you don't believe it, then I'll teach you the Nine Yin True Classic inner skill incantation right now..."

  When Wu Ming solemnly recited the incantation, Granny Sun naturally had no more doubts and became increasingly excited. With such an extraordinary internal skill, as long as she practiced hard, she would definitely be able to restore her looks.

  Although Old Lady Sun always said that looks don't matter, she is a woman and was once a good-looking one at that. When she says that her looks are of no consequence, it's just a helpless way of consoling herself.

  "Son's wife was so excited that she hugged Wu Ming tightly: "Child, you are really too good to mom, mom really doesn't know how to thank you."

  "Mom, look at what you're saying. I'm your son, who else would I be good to if not you? By the way, mom, there's something I want to ask of you."

  "Child, speak up," said Grandma Sun with a kind smile, "as long as Mom can do it, I'll definitely help you."

  Wu Ming smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I want to ask Mom to temporarily not tell Long Shixiong about the Nine Yin Scripture."

  "Whatever for, child?" asked Grandma Sun in surprise.

  "Wu Ming said in a low voice, 'Mom, I'd like to ask you something. If there's a choice, would you want Dragon Sister to be as indifferent and cold as she is now, like a walking corpse? Or would you want her to be like a normal girl, with emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness?'"

  "Ah, silly child," said Grandma Sun with a smile, "if there's a choice to be made, of course your mother would want you to be like Dragon Sister, a normal girl."

  "Mom, great! It seems our minds are on the same wavelength."

  Although Grandma Sun was kind and gentle, she wasn't foolish. She naturally guessed Wu Ming's thoughts and smiled, saying: "Child, mom has somewhat understood. Isn't it that you want to change your Dragon sister's personality? But is this feasible? Your Dragon sister's personality isn't something that was formed in a day or two. Moreover, the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture she cultivates is a clear-hearted and desire-less skill. As long as she doesn't disperse her skills, it's almost impossible for her to achieve."

  "Wu Ming smiled faintly and said, 'Mom, don't worry about this. As the old saying goes, with deep skill, even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle. I believe that through my own efforts and your cooperation, we will definitely be able to restore Dragon Sister's youthful vitality at her age.'"

  "Child, this doesn't seem right. This is what your ancestral grandmother entrusted to you, and the successor of the Ancient Tomb Sect must be pure in heart and few in desires. I cannot go against your ancestral grandmother's intentions."

  "Wu Ming said, 'Mother, didn't Ancestor Granny say that men can't enter the ancient tomb? Although I'm still a child now, one day I'll become a real man. Wouldn't that also go against Ancestor Granny's wishes?'"

  The old lady was suddenly speechless, and had no choice but to scold: "Child, your mouth is really sharp, Mom can't even argue with you."

  "Mom, I know my request is a bit excessive. But as the saying goes, rules are dead, people are alive, how can living people be bound by dead rules? If it's a good rule, we'll naturally follow it, but this rule of the ancient tomb sect is clearly not suitable, do we still have to stick to it? Since you and sister have already made an exception for me once before, can't we make another one?"

  "Child, of course mom knows these things and thinks what you said makes sense, but... sigh, don't rush me, let me think about it carefully, okay?"

  Mrs. Sun was originally a kind and enthusiastic person, naturally unwilling to see the cold and frosty appearance of Little Dragon Girl, only that year Lin Chongying had saved her life, she always felt that doing so would be somewhat disloyal and ungrateful, betraying the entrustment of the person who had saved her life.

  However, Grandma Sun immediately thought that the child's words seemed to be right too. She had brought Wu Ming into the ancient tomb, which was against the teachings of her benefactor in the first place. Since she had already gone against it once, what did it matter if she went against it again? As long as the two children were happy and lived happily ever after, that would be her greatest wish. Even if she were to be punished by her benefactor underground in the future, she would be willing to accept it with a clear conscience.

  After thinking about it, Grandma Sun also let go and nodded: "Okay, kid, mom agrees with you, but you're not allowed to be reckless. If there's anything in the future, discuss it with mom more often, got it?"

  When Wu Ming heard that Grandma Sun had agreed, he was extremely excited, and it could also be seen that Grandma Sun's love for him was truly heartfelt.

  Little Dragon Girl was almost raised by Old Mrs. Sun, and winning over Old Mrs. Sun is equivalent to winning over the mother-in-law in modern terms, so Little Dragon Girl will be easily won over afterwards.

  "Mom, don't worry, I respect Shijie very much, and I also know that although she appears to be indifferent on the surface, in her heart she is actually very kind to me."

  "Wow, you've figured it all out! You're such a clever kid, so mature and wise beyond your years. I always feel like you're not like other children."

  I'm no longer a kid, Wu Ming said with a wry smile, "Mom, this is what they call 'poor people's children growing up too early'. It's just life experience that has trained me, can't be helped."

  "Child, mom knows that you've had a tough time these years. From now on, with mom taking care of you and your sister Long caring for you, you will definitely live a very happy life."

  "Mom, of course, I will be very happy, and you and Long Shijie will also be very happy in the future."
