Chapter 392 Giving Gifts
……
The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone in the Yun family looked at Mo Lintian in silence, thinking that this boy was a little arrogant.
"Hey! You kid..."
Yun Yijing laughed in anger. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to have a good talk with Mo Lintian, but Su Qingning suddenly patted Mo Lintian's arm soothingly and said, "Lintian, don't be nervous. Third uncle is just joking with you! Cousins are close relatives and can't be together. Otherwise, they will give birth to deformed children."
“???” Everyone in the Yun family looked confused.
"Cousin, what is a deformed child?" Yun Yulin asked without hesitation.
"To put it simply, it's a child with abnormal development."
After Su Qingning finished her explanation, she was afraid that everyone might not understand, so she very considerately gave a few examples.
"There are many kinds of deformed children. Some have two heads, some have four arms, and some never grow tall..."
With every word Su Qingning said, the eyes of the Yun family members widened a little. In the end, they all looked stunned and astonished.
"So..." Yun Yulin suddenly remembered something and said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "The young master of the Liu family was born with a disability. Is it because his parents are close?"
Su Qingning had never met the young master of the Liu family, but from what Yun Yulin had just said, she could probably guess the reason why he was unable to walk.
"From what you said, cousin, Mr. Liu's parents are close relatives, so he is likely suffering from rickets."
"Chondrodystrophy?"
"Yes." Su Qingning nodded and explained, "Chondrodystrophy, also known as rickets in children, is a condition where bones grow slowly and the leg bones are not fully developed, making it impossible to walk normally."
"Yes, yes, that's right." After listening to Su Qingning's explanation, Yun Yulin nodded repeatedly and said, "Liu Nanjiang couldn't walk until he was three years old. After the doctor examined him, he said that his legs were weak and frail, and he was afraid that he would never be able to stand up again."
"That should be rickets." Su Qingning said affirmatively.
"Alas! Liu Nanjiang is also pitiful." Yun Yulin sighed, a hint of sympathy in his tone, "Originally, it was pitiful enough that he couldn't walk, but the Liu family mocked him, saying that he had done too many evil things in his previous life, so the heavens punished him to be a cripple in this life."
"But, after listening to you today, cousin, I realized that Liu Nanjiang was truly wronged. It was clearly because their parents were close relatives that he got this disease, and yet, his parents still despise him. He's truly miserable."
Yun Yulin shook his head and sighed, "So! In order to avoid harming future generations, it's best not to marry cousins."
After learning the new knowledge, everyone in the Yun family nodded in agreement. At the same time, they were also very grateful that there had never been a case of close-kin marriage in their Yun family. Otherwise, what would they do if a deformed child with two heads and four hands appeared?
"Third cousin, do you have a good relationship with that Mr. Liu?" Su Qingning asked curiously.
Yun Yulin thought for a moment and replied, "Not bad! Liu Nanjiang is a good person, unlike the other people in the Liu family."
"That's it..."
Su Qingning thought for a while and thought that maybe she could help Liu Nanjiang for the sake of her third cousin. After all, rickets is not an incurable disease.
However, whether or not to help Liu Nanjiang with his treatment would have to wait until she met him. Right now, she had to take care of the Yun family first.
Thinking of this, Su Qingning patted Mo Lintian's arm, signaling him to let her go. Then, she turned around and looked at Yun Jizhou and said, "Grandpa, I prepared a gift for you."
As Su Qingning spoke, she raised her hand and waved, and a tall man with silver hair and silver eyes wearing a white leopard print robe appeared in the hall.
"Grandpa, I heard you're an ice summoner. This is a seven-star ice-attributed snow leopard, a super beast at the Saint level. It's a gift from me to you. I hope you don't mind."
This snow leopard was one of the magical beasts rescued from the Tiandao Sect. At first, it was just a nine-star holy beast, but after practicing in Su Qingning's space for a period of time, it broke through to a divine beast.
Originally, the snow leopard would not break through to the super beast so quickly, but after Su Qingning passed through twelve heavenly thunders and broke through to the saint realm some time ago, the spiritual energy in the space changed, and all the magical beasts broke through as well.
Although a super beast in the Saint Realm is nothing to a Saint Realm powerhouse like Yun Jizhou, what is important is that this is Su Qingning's intention.
Moreover, they already knew that Su Qingning came from the Demonic Martial Continent. It was surprising enough that she could own a super beast at the Saint level. What's more, she directly gave this super beast to Yun Jizhou as a gift.
How can one not be surprised by such a grand gesture?
"Grandpa, you haven't been cured of the poison yet. If you sign a contract with the contracted beast, it will affect the cultivation of the contracted beast. It's better to wait for Xiaoyu to help you cure the poison before signing the contract!" Su Qingning said.
"Okay, okay." Yun Jizhou nodded happily, "I'll listen to Xiao Ning'er."
Yun Jizhou's current cultivation level has regressed from the ninth level of Saint Venerable to the fifth level of Saint Venerable, and his contracted beast's cultivation level has also regressed because the Soul-Devouring Gu absorbs spiritual energy through the contract relationship; therefore, whether for himself or for his contracted beast, he must get rid of the Gu.
"Grandpa, I also have a gift for you." Su Qingyu on the side suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yun Jizhou immediately turned around and looked at Su Qingyu with a smile, "Oh? Xiaoyu also prepared a gift? Let grandpa see it quickly, what is it?"
Su Qingyu took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Yun Jizhou, then said proudly, "Grandpa, this is a poison I developed myself. Anyone who is poisoned by this will be like being tortured to death by a thousand cuts, with flesh and blood falling off piece by piece."
"Grandpa, when we find the person who cast the curse, we'll cut him into pieces, okay?"
Su Qingyu asked expectantly. At this moment, he had no idea how much of an impact his words had caused to everyone in the Yun family. Yun Jizhou was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold the porcelain bottle in his hand.
"Haha...of course!" Yun Jizhou laughed twice with a stiff expression. He didn't even notice that his voice was trembling. "Xiao Yu's idea is very good. Let's do as you say."
"I think this is a good idea, too." Su Qingyu nodded, and then he suddenly said, "Grandpa, if you think this punishment isn't harsh enough, I have other poisons, like pierced intestines, excruciating heartache, and a beautiful face. But you, my father-in-law, can't..."
Listening to Su Qingyu spitting out the names of the poisons one by one, Yun Jizhou's heart trembled. At this time, he finally realized one thing: he had made a mistake.
What a well-behaved and lovely grandson! He is clearly a poisonous thorn!
