Chapter 450: Chapter 448: Is there such a comparison? _1
The dinner was held in the courtyard, with the stone table laden with delicious dishes.
The Pickled Cabbage Fish was especially tasty, Wang Meng and Shitou were eating rapidly, taking a piece of fish and rapidly placing it in their mouths. Before they could swallow, their chopsticks were already reaching for more.
Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou, having traveled abroad and with the bindings of noble etiquette absent, abandoned the graceful demeanor of well-bred young masters and ate heartily.
From time to time their chopsticks clashed with Wang Meng’s and Shitou’s in a race to grab the food, depending on whose movements were faster.
Lin Qingluo and the Little Prince ate their food, not involving themselves in the chopsticks battle waged by the brothers, happily watching from the sidelines.
Lady Feng was delighted to have some young and energetic guests at home. Holding her rice bowl, she was smiling throughout the meal, her mood uplifted and her complexion greatly improved.
Feng Liu was fond of cute pets and loved nothing more than a silly and adorable one.
Baoya, without a doubt, garnered her special attention, getting chased around the courtyard and being occasionally caught for a thorough petting.
Baoya was resigned to seeing its wish for a peaceful dinner dashed. It looked pitifully at its young master.
With a hopeful and flattering expression, it wished for the Little Prince to rescue it sooner from the clutches of its captor.
Witnessing Baoya’s disingenuous pretense of sorrow, Lin Qingluo found it amusing and even doubted if it had really become enlightened, with its life as a leopard being changed by the Spirit Pill.
The Little Prince, after finishing his meal and tidying himself up, hopped down from the chair in search of Baoya.
Seeing the Little Prince finally remembering him, Baoya felt a sense of bittersweet victory, crying out in varying tones, successfully drawing everyone’s attention.
Everyone in the courtyard was amused by Baoya’s adorable antics.
Feng Yi watched her older sister who didn’t care about her image, laughing till she bent over, and helplessly massaged his temples.
“Feng Yi, let’s have an archery competition after dinner. We’ll see who can shoot farther,”
after downing five steamed buns, Wang Meng was feeling spirited and challenged Feng Yi, playing to his strength.
“Let’s see who can run faster.”
Not to be outdone, Shitou also chimed in.
Can you two have some dignity?
Is that how you compete?
Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou gave them a sidelong glance, their expressions filled with contempt.
“Fine, let’s compete!”
Feng Yi couldn’t stand the provocation, he put his chopsticks down on the stone table and stood up immediately.
“Hehe, the young chap is feisty, I like that.”
Lin Jinzhou, enjoying the spectacle, also stood up, intending to watch from the sidelines.
“Who are you calling a young chap? I’m already twelve.”
Feng Yi protested, puffing out his cheeks.
“Hehe.”
Lin Jinzhou clapped his hands, his smile was teasing: “Ohh, you’re twelve, impressive.”
“Humph!”
Feng Yi, once again provoked, turned bright red. Carrying his quiver, he huffed and stormed out of the courtyard.
“Hehe, the youngster has a temper. He actually got mad.”
Lin Jinzhou squinted with amusement, He waved and strode out of the yard: “Let’s go guys, let them witness the might of our Lin Clan’s unique skill.”
“Right on, let’s go.”
Wang Meng and Shitou answered in unison, rubbing their hands together in anticipation and dashed off.
“Brother Xu, let’s also go see the show.”
Lin Qingluo was interested in the Soul-Stealing Arrow, she put down her chopsticks and stood up, smiling from ear to ear.
“Sure.”
Lin Jinxu naturally was accomodating to his little sister, nodding while smiling.
“Sister, I want to go too.”
The Little Prince ran after them, clutching Baoya, and stuck to his sister’s side.
“Let’s go, let’s all go together and watch.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes crinkled in a smile, she held the Little Prince’s hand, and the trio left the courtyard together.
