Volume 1, Chapter 49: Immortal Treasures and the Xu Sisters!

Faced with Xu Miaoyun’s astonishment, Zhu Di wore a slightly proud expression on his face.

"Ah-Yun, what do you think? I can even make the wind blow stronger."

"Really?" Xu Miaoyun’s eyes lit up instantly.

Under Xu Miaoyun’s curious gaze, Zhu Di reached out and pressed the subsequent gear buttons as well.

As the fan’s speed gradually increased, the airflow grew stronger, instantly disheveling Xu Miaoyun’s previously neat hair.

For a moment, Xu Miaoyun stared with wide eyes, filled with utter disbelief.

"Without borrowing any external force, it can not only generate wind, but also control its strength?"

"Could this... could this truly be a divine treasure of an immortal?"

At first, Xu Miaoyun had harbored doubts about the existence of Jiang Lin, this person from future generations, suspecting him to be a grand charlatan.

Now, having witnessed such a miraculous artifact as the electric fan, it was hard for her not to believe.

"My husband, thank you~" Xu Miaoyun snuggled into Zhu Di’s arms, her tone sweet.

Zhu Di relished the soft warmth in his arms, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.

"Oh right, my dear wife, Jiang Lin also brought back some fine goods for you."

"What are they?" Xu Miaoyun’s eyes flickered with expectant brilliance.

Zhu Di took out the nutritional supplements Jiang Lin had given him: "These are nutritional products from future generations handed to me by Jiang Lin."

"According to him, pregnant women in future generations all consume these."

He did not dare to mention anything to Xu Miaoyun about their son, Zhu Gaozhi.

After all, Xu Miaoyun was currently with child.

If she were to learn of such ominous news and consequently suffer from emotional distress affecting her pregnancy, things would become rather difficult to handle.

Besides, as long as Xu Miaoyun took Jiang Lin’s supplements as instructed, there was a high probability that nothing would happen to Zhu Gaozhi.

Thus, Zhu Di would keep this matter buried deep within his belly, and aside from His Majesty, the Crown Prince, his younger sister, and Jiang Lin, not a sixth person would ever know.

Zhu Di relayed all the instructions regarding the supplements to Xu Miaoyun.

"You must take them properly, and I will supervise you as well, ensuring that both you and the child remain healthy."

"When the child grows a bit larger, I will take you to see Jiang Lin. He said he can run a set of examinations for you to check on the baby's condition."

"Wow~ Are people from future generations truly this remarkable?" Xu Miaoyun accepted the supplements pleasantly, while her stomach emitted a soft rumble.

"Husband, I am hungry..."

"As it happens, Jiang Lin prepared a delicacy named crayfish."

"It is exceptionally delicious, and I brought some back. Would you like to try some?"

Xu Miaoyun unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Facing her wide-eyed, eager expression, Zhu Di chuckled.

"Wait a moment, I will have the kitchen heat up the crayfish."

Just as those words fell, a lively, youthful girl’s voice rang out from outside: "Older sister, brother-in-law, I have arrived!"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun turned their heads toward the doorway, only to see a lively and eccentric young girl skipping into the room, full of vibrant energy.

She was Xu Miaoqing, the second daughter of Duke of Wei Xu Da, and Xu Miaoyun’s younger sister.

Both sisters had inherited the stunning beauty of Lady Xu Da, possessing breathtaking appearances.

Compared to Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoqing possessed an extra touch of girlish playfulness and cuteness.

Her face was fair, and beneath long eyelashes rested a pair of exceptionally gorgeous large eyes, complete with an adorable upturned nose and cherry lips that looked cute enough to melt one's heart.

The entire person was as exquisite as a porcelain doll!

Seeing Xu Miaoqing appear, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were somewhat puzzled.

"Miaoqing, why are you here?"

"Oh, today His Majesty suddenly summoned my father into the palace for a meal, saying he had found a particularly delicious delicacy, and that the two brothers hadn't sat down together for a drink in a long time."

"Father brought me along with my older and younger brothers into the palace."

"His Majesty told me to come and fetch my older sister and brother-in-law as well."

"Right, His Majesty also said to bring that crayfish thing along with you."

"In that case, let us set off."

Shortly after, the three of them departed together, with Xu Miaoyun and Xu Miaoqing walking closely side by side.

Xu Miaoqing asked with burning curiosity: "Sister, what on earth is this crayfish that His Majesty spoke of?"

"I am not entirely clear either; it seems to be a delicacy His Majesty discovered out in the world."

"According to your brother-in-law, this thing was obtained from someone who claims to be from future generations. I have never tasted it before, so I have no idea what it tastes like."

Xu Miaoyun answered, only half-understanding it herself.

"Well, you can taste it together in a moment and find out for yourself."

"What is a person from future generations?" Xu Miaoqing asked, her face full of question marks.

Xu Miaoyun explained vaguely: "Well... your brother-in-law said that this person from future generations is a time-traveler who arrived in the Great Ming from over six hundred years in the future."

"As for anything else, I am not entirely certain either."

Xu Miaoqing’s face instantly filled with question marks.

That expression seemed to say: Are you pulling my leg?

"Sister, do you think brother-in-law might have encountered a traveling swindler?"

"Brother-in-law believes such absurd nonsense—isn't that a bit foolish?"

"Hush..." Xu Miaoyun hurriedly covered Xu Miaoqing’s mouth with her hand, a trace of tension on her face.

"You... do not speak nonsense. This person from future generations was not only seen by your brother-in-law; even His Majesty, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess have all met him."

"What?!" Xu Miaoqing’s eyes were filled with wonder, as if she had heard something of earth-shattering importance.

How could that be?

In Xu Miaoqing’s understanding, how could His Majesty, the Empress, and the Crown Prince ever believe such a clumsy lie?

Before Xu Miaoqing could recover her wits, Xu Miaoyun produced the small electric fan and said with a smile:

"Miaoqing, you must not disbelieve it. Look at this thing called a small fan; it is indeed an item from future generations."

"This electric fan is exceptionally magical. Not only can it blow wind, but it can also adjust the wind's strength. It feels just like a divine treasure belonging to an immortal in storybooks."

"Really or fake?" Xu Miaoqing wore a skeptical expression.

She looked up and down at this object called the small fan.

Its shape was bizarre, and the material was also peculiar—in short, it was something she had never laid eyes on before.

Xu Miaoyun gave a gentle smile: "Hahahaha, let me demonstrate it for you."

When Zhu Di had demonstrated it to her earlier, she had already learned how to operate it, finding it extremely simple—one only needed to press the button on top.

As Xu Miaoyun pressed the button, the fan immediately whirred to life.

Feeling the breeze generated by the small fan, Xu Miaoqing widened her eyes in shock.

Having completely disbelieved it just moments ago, she now had no choice but to believe it, for the reality was laid bare right before her eyes.

The small fan in her older sister's hand could genuinely and truly blow wind.

What was going on here?

Could it be that the Great Ming truly harbored a person from future generations who had arrived from over six hundred years later?

Otherwise, where on earth could this small fan have come from? It completely transcended Xu Miaoqing’s comprehension...
