“Oh, just some wild tea from the mountain. We would you’d enjoy
it!”
“Oh, you can tell it’s great tea just from its smell!” He knew the
Cheng’s wasn’t an ordinary family and tried to suppress his surprise.
Cheng Biyuan smiled and drank silently. Cheng Xiao Xiao still had
the book in her hands, only she knew whether she had looked up.
Soon as he had a sip of the tea, Ko Yang’s face froze from shock.
This is mythical water.
Mythical animals, mythical water, where were they getting all
these?
What was the background of this family?
A million possibilities flashed through his head and he couldn’t
help but glanced at the father and daughter in front of him. Shaking the cup in
his hand, he asked, “Mr. Cheng, pardon me, but may I ask where this water came
from?”
“Oh, this is from the well behind our house!” Cheng Biyuan had an
idea why he asked, but he had no intention to lie either.
“Water from the well?” Ko Yang was delighted and couldn’t refrain
himself, “Mr. Cheng, may I please have a tour?”
“Oh…” Cheng Biyuan stood up, “Sure, this way please, Mr. Ko…”
“I appreciate your hospitality!”
Replying with a smile, Ko Yang stood up. While he was turning
around, he cast Cheng Xiao Xiao another glance. He couldn’t explain why he had
the urge to see her reaction.
After they have walked out of the yard, Mrs. Cheng came out from
the kitchen and asked with a worried look, “Xiao Xiao, you think it will be
okay?”
“Mom, since we couldn’t hide it any more we might as well let them
know what we want them to know. I think it will be alright.” Answered Cheng
Xiao Xiao confidently.
“Mom, big sister, who are these people and why did they bring us
gifts?”
“Mom, can we open these gifts and see what they are?”
“I’m sure there are delicious food inside! Mom, open and show us!”
The little ones who were sent inside the house came running out
and saw all the gifts on top of the table and were eager to wrap everything.
“Behave! These belong to our guests, don’t touch them!” scolded
Mrs. Cheng. The little ones quiet down obediently.
Looking at their little faces, Cheng Xiao Xiao laughed, “Zheng
Bin, Lan Lan, you’ve got to at least wait till the guests have left before
opening up the presents, right? The guests haven’t left yet!”
All the little ones laughed at her words. Mrs. Cheng shook her
head helplessly and said, “Go into the bamboo forest in the back and bring home
some bamboo shells to burn. Stop hovering over here, make us look bad!”
“Okay, mom, we will head out right away!”
Following Cheng Zheng Yuan’s lead, the three young ones ran out
again. Cheng Xiao Xiao put the book down and said, “Mom, I think they might
stay for lunch, let’s start preparing!”
“You think so?”
“Yes, I think so. He’ll stay!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao was right, after Ko Yang had a tour of the entire
Cheng’s set up outside and in, it was around lunch time, and, sure enough, he
was staying for lunch.
The delicacies at the Cheng’s shocked him all over again. He
noticed that every dish at the Cheng’s exuded spiritualness, how could he not
be?
After lunch, Ko Yang, who came to purchase mythical animals didn’t
buy anything. He left the gifts and left in a hurry with the two servants.
His actions were confusing to Mrs. Cheng, but Cheng Biyuan and
Cheng Xiao Xiao had an idea of what was going on.

Translator’s rambling:
Okay, there better be a reason to her madness. Otherwise they
shouldn’t have given them the spiritual water or keeping them for lunch!
GRRRRRrrr.

You posted the chapter contents twice. I'm expecting there is some reason for their behaviour, probably tied to why he just left again. Maybe make him in awe of them so he's afraid to make them angry?
ReplyDelete"We would you’d enjoy it!”" -> thought
It's bothersome to me that they call it tea and say it smells nice, and then it's literally water. It was the same in the first part of the chapter.
Well they can really hide at all that and bee asked many questions that are hard to answer, so I think is smart to show a little of the things they have, so there are ni many questions and is more easy to control the situation
