Sun Yujiao was no longer hesitant and immediately said with a smile, “Then Sister-in-law would like to thank the thirteenth brother on behalf of the child in my belly.”

After saying that, she took the brocade box, didn’t even bother to look at it, and quickly stored it away in her Storage Pouch before beckoning Zhou Chun to sit down with her.

To entertain his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who rarely visited their home, Zhou Zhengyong had indeed gone to great lengths.

On the dining table, many of the ingredients were of the kind that contained pure Spiritual Power, the equivalent of Spiritual Object-grade materials, typically only used by the Zhou Family during certain banquets.

Consuming this meal might only have a slight effect on an individual’s Cultivation Level, but the taste and quality were certainly beyond reproach.

Zhou Chun could tell that although Sun Lianzhong had repeatedly complained about his son-in-law wastefully spending money before eating, he was clearly very happy and in high spirits during the meal.

After the few of them had finished the dishes on the table, Zhou Zhengyong brought out a pot of Spiritual Tea as if presenting a treasure.

He poured two cups of light green tea with a rich fragrance and respectfully held up the cups to Sun Lianzhong and his wife, saying, “Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please try our Zhou Family’s special Honey Flower Tea. This is a Spiritual Tea that is nearly extinct in our family. I’ve gone through a lot of trouble to get a bead of it from one of our Elders to offer as a token of respect to you both!”

Attracted by the tea’s aromatic fragrance, Sun Lianzhong and his wife immediately turned their gaze toward Zhou Zhengyong upon hearing his words, their eyes brimming with satisfaction and pride.

They were clearly very pleased with the filial piety of their son-in-law.

“Hehehe, then we won’t stand on ceremony.”

With a chuckle, Sun Lianzhong promptly took a sip of the tea.

He then closed his eyes slightly, revealing an extremely contented expression.

After savoring for a good while, he finally opened his eyes, full of satisfaction, and praised, “Good tea! Indeed, a good tea!”

Unable to resist, he took another sip.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong also showed a happy smile on his face.

He then grabbed another teacup, poured a cup, and passed it to Zhou Chun, saying, “Thirteenth brother, have a cup too, you probably haven’t tasted Honey Flower Tea in a long while, have you?”

“This tea fragrance…”

Zhou Chun stared blankly at the teacup Zhou Zhengyong was handing him, not reaching out to take it, as if he had suddenly thought of something and closed his eyes in contemplation.

This reaction left Zhou Zhengyong completely puzzled, and he immediately asked, “Thirteenth brother, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the tea?”

“No, it’s not that there’s anything wrong with the tea, it’s just that I suddenly remembered something related to Honey Flower Tea.”

Zhou Chun opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, then took the cup from Zhou Zhengyong’s hand and gently sipped it.

Indeed, it was a good tea!

This was Zhou Chun’s first taste of “Honey Flower Tea” since coming to this world, and its flavor was indeed exceptional, surpassing the several kinds of Spiritual Tea he had tried before, and the effects were no different.

But now was not the time to appreciate the tea.

Zhou Chun only allowed himself a brief moment to enjoy the taste before he looked earnestly at Zhou Zhengyong and asked, “Brother Yong, where did you get this Honey Flower Tea from? I remember that after our family branches separated, our clan shouldn’t have any left, right?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengyong sighed softly and said, “Indeed, without the Jade Spirit Bees and the Qingning Tea Trees, our Zhou Family is truly unable to produce Honey Flower Tea anymore. Nowadays, only a very few of the elder family members still have a small stock left, and they are too reluctant to drink it!”

As he continued, he was not embarrassed to reveal his shortage, “Today’s bead of Honey Flower Tea, I had to rely on the face of my father, who passed away many years ago, and I had to persuade Uncle Nine for a long time, using the unborn child in Yujiao’s belly to appeal to his emotion.”

“You child… really thoughtful!!”

Having heard Zhou Zhengyong’s words, Sun Lianzhong was visibly moved and looked at his son-in-law with eyes full of affection.

However, Zhou Chun did not dwell on that subject. After hearing Zhou Zhengyong’s response, he immediately showed a thoughtful look and muttered to himself, “In that case, even for an elder like Uncle Nine, he wouldn’t have regular access to a Spiritual Object like Honey Flower Tea anymore!”

“How could it be possible to drink it regularly!”

With a sigh, Zhou Zhengyong shook his head repeatedly, “Not just Uncle Nine, I guess even the Clan Leader and the Supreme Elder wouldn’t have the opportunity to frequently drink Honey Flower Tea anymore. They probably only get it out to entertain important guests or savour a little on their own birthdays nowadays!”

“Is that so?”

Zhou Chun murmured softly to himself, then suddenly raised his head and gave Zhou Zhengyong a bow, “Brother Yong, I apologize, but I have urgent matters and must meet with the Clan Leader immediately, so I must excuse myself.”

After speaking, he also bowed to Sun Lianzhong and his wife, “Uncle Sun, Aunt Lin, please take your time, I must take my leave first.”

Without giving Zhou Zhengyong a chance to ask for reasons or to detain him, Zhou Chun swiftly left the house under the astonished and skeptical gaze of Zhou Zhengyong and his family.

After staring at Zhou Chun’s departing figure in a daze for a while, Zhou Zhengyong finally regained his senses and quickly explained to Sun Lianzhong and his wife, “Father-in-law, please forgive him, the thirteenth brother has always been steady and well-mannered, very mindful of etiquette. He must have really encountered something urgent, and it was not his intention to disregard your presence!”

Upon hearing this, Sun Lianzhong immediately waved his hand and said, “Zhengyong, there’s no need for more words. We all watched what just happened, Nephew Zhengchun surely has some important business to attend to, we shouldn’t disturb him further.”
