My Brother-in-Law's Peculiar Ability

Xu Xuanyu's throat bobbed as he looked at the leaf in his palm, then at the Demon God Mother Tree in front of him, deeply moved.

A single leaf could stir the emotions of his friend from a powerful Lineage far away in the Immortal Ruins, while for him, after arriving here, the Demon God Mother Tree was merely a decorative ornamental tree in his brother-in-law's house...

Where did the Demon God Mother Tree's leaves come from?

It was blown in by a strong wind!

"I didn't hear what you said clearly, can you say it again?" Li Feiyu suspected that he had misheard.

Sometimes, it seems, it's quite easy to obtain?

These are leaves from the very top of the Demon God Mother Tree!

"Feiyu, don't ask me anymore. I'll just put it this way: have you ever heard of the phrases 'as easy as turning one's hand' and 'a simple favor'? For the first time now, I understand the true meaning of these two phrases so clearly..."

Hey, just by flipping my palm over, this precious leaf landed right there in my hand...

Li Feiyu became increasingly confused as he listened.

What are you saying?

After going to the Demon Domain, did you start speaking a dialect from another region?

I can't understand a single word!

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Just keep the leaf; my second sister gave it to you, so it's yours now..."

They remained silent all night until the next morning.

Xu Xuanyu woke up from his sleep. Since his cultivation was destroyed, he found that if he didn't sleep for three or four hours a day, he would be very tired the next day.

He glanced at the morning scenery outside the window, then quickly got up, grabbed a broom, and began sweeping the yard.

"Uncle, we're going to the academy. Do you want to come along and have a look around?" Lu Zixuan took Lu Miaomiao's hand, walked out of the house, and looked at Xu Xuanyu with a smile.

Xu Xuanyu really wanted to go and take a look, but since it was his first day here, he had to adapt to life here first, and he also wanted his brother-in-law to see how he had changed.

I can't just wander around aimlessly on the first day; I need to finish the work my brother-in-law gave me first.

"Maybe another day, I still have work to do!"

"Alright, little brother, you go ahead and get busy. Send me a message when you're done, and I'll come back to pick you up," Xu Yunyi said with a smile. She knew that her brother needed to please his brother-in-law before he could settle down here.

"Uh-huh!"

"Uncle, bye-bye! Miaomiao will bring you some delicious snacks later!"

"Haha, Miaomiao is so good! Uncle will wait for you to come back!"

Watching Lu Zixuan and the others disappear through the teleportation, a glint of envy flashed in Xu Xuanyu's eyes.

That's wonderful, it's a pity he can't cultivate anymore.

"Ahem, let's not think about anything else! Let's get back to work!"

He had to take care of the entire yard, not only cleaning, but also feeding the fish in the pond and watering some of the trees.

Furthermore, there are various vegetables and fruits in the backyard, and even a potion field that needs his care.

After getting up, Lu Qing'an went to sit down in front of the stone pavilion, his gaze occasionally falling on Xu Xuanyu's busy figure.

"Let's see if this kid is just putting on a show for me. If he slacks off after a few days, we'll have to teach him a lesson," Lu Qing'an said.

Xue Tianfei said, "I feel he's quite motivated; he probably really wants to stay here for a long time."

Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei. With Xu Xuanyu in the courtyard, he and Xue Tianfei weren't exactly alone together, so it wasn't so awkward.

"Have some tea, I'll brew some for you this time."

"No need, I'll brew it for you. How can I trouble you to brew it! I'll take care of these things from now on!" Xue Tianfei smiled, quickly took the teapot, and brewed tea for Lu Qing'an.

Looking at the hardworking and capable Xue Tianfei, Lu Qing'an had a strange expression.

Is she deliberately cultivating a persona of a virtuous wife and loving mother, or is it genuine?

After he returned here, he was indeed able to see many admirable qualities in Xue Tianfei that he hadn't noticed before.

"Was she always like this? Or did she only change after I left?"

He thought back carefully and realized that Xue Tianfei had seemed to be like this before. However, back then, he had a prejudice against Xue Tianfei Xue Tianfei and always tried to avoid her...

Indeed, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

Looking at Xue Tianfei, whose lips were slightly parted in a sweet smile, as if brewing tea for him was a very happy thing, Lu Qing'an felt a strange emotion welling up in his heart.

My ex-wife doesn't seem to have ever acted this way...

Xu Xuanyu was busy the whole time. At one point, he went back into the house, covered in sweat, to get a towel, which he draped over his shoulder before continuing his work.

He carried the bucket and walked towards the potion garden.

"Looks like he's really working hard." Looking at Xu Xuanyu covered in sweat, Lu Qing'an nodded in satisfaction.

Xue Tianfei smiled and poured tea for Lu Qing'an.

However, Xu Xuanyu went to the potion garden behind the courtyard and soon returned with a shocked expression.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"

Seeing Xu Xuanyu's shocked expression, Lu Qing'an frowned slightly.

What's wrong with this kid?

"What's the big deal?" Lu Qing'an said expressionlessly.

Xu Xuanyu exclaimed with delight, "Brother-in-law! I've made a great discovery!!"

"A major discovery? Come, sit down and chat, and have some tea to quench your thirst." Xue Tianfei poured Xu Xuanyu a cup of tea.

Xu Xuanyu glanced at Xue Tianfei, quickly expressed his gratitude, then sat down. Before speaking, he drank a cup of tea, and after sorting out his thoughts, he recounted his discoveries at the Magic Medicine Garden.

"I've discovered I can hear the potions talking!!"

This sentence confused both Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei.

Can you hear the potion speaking?

What's the meaning.

"Are you out of your mind? Potions have a life of their own, but they're not old enough to be sentient. Those potions over there are just low-level; Old Xiao uses them as seasonings."

"Brother-in-law! I'm telling the truth! As long as I come into contact with a potion, I can talk to it! And I can even know its specific effects, its exact year, basically very specific information!"

Looking at Xu Xuanyu's seemingly honest demeanor, Lu Qing'an thought to himself, "What a strange thing this is."

Could it be that this kid possesses some special ability?

system?

It shouldn't be the system.

If there's a system, this kid's description doesn't match up; he probably has some kind of special ability.

"Brother-in-law, if you don't believe me, test me! I just arrived in the Demon Domain Realm and know nothing about magic potions! After all, the Immortal Ruins are full of spirit medicine, not magic potions. If I can describe the details of magic potions, then I'm not lying."

"Alright, I'll test it for you." Lu Qing'an waved his hand, and dozens of magical herbs flew quickly from the herb field, finally floating in the air in front of them.

"Here, start with this one. What's the name of this potion? How old is it? What are its specific effects?"

Xu Xuanyu took the herb, closed his eyes for a moment, and then quickly said, "Brother-in-law, this herb is called Ghost Honeyed Words Grass, and it's thirty-seven years old! It says its leaves can make stewed meat more fragrant, but eating it raw will cause dizziness... Also, its roots can cure headaches caused by Demonic Qi entering the brain in ordinary mortals!"

Lu Qing'an narrowed his eyes slightly.

What about this one?

"Brother-in-law, this plant is called Illusory Sound Rosemary, and it's fifteen years old! It says its leaves are perfect for marinating meat, but its stems can make you dizzy... Also, its sap can heal skin burned by demonic flames!"

Lu Qing'an gestured for Xu Xuanyu to continue.

This continued until Xu Xuanyu had described all the potions.

"Brother-in-law! Do you think I said anything wrong?" Xu Xuanyu asked excitedly.

If I'm not mistaken, then I must have some special ability.

I'd never encountered potions before; I never imagined I had this ability!

Lu Qing'an looked at Xu Xuanyu quietly and said, "Completely wrong."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanyu, who was still excited, was struck dumb, frozen in place.

Ah?!!!
