Chapter 128 Promise

"Don't talk nonsense. Is Professor McGonagall pretty?" Chen Bin asked back.

Who would have thought that Yisha would be out of character, with shining eyes, and said: "You are really right. Professor McGonagall was super beautiful when she was young. As long as you look at the graduation photos of old students, you will definitely not deny it."

Chen Bin was petrified. Could it be that magic can really beautify? Can magic be applied to the face to improve appearance? Then would the dinosaur female students of Hogwarts be uglier without magic?

"I would rather believe that Kate's original name is the same as the Attorney General in the previous life." Chen Bin yawned and said.

"Don't believe what mom said?" Yisha put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "Wait, I will study anti-aging cream and slimming lotion to show you. Magic can really beautify!"

"Okay, okay, you have big breasts and you are right, let's go!" Chen Bin almost picked a booger and smeared it on her face. Is it really that easy to invent a potion?

Don't think too much, as a full-time wife who lives a life of idleness and waits for death, she is likely to waste a lot of gold galleons on this boring invention.

After a few insults, Isha took his son to stroll around the monk street in the provincial capital for a while, and then Apparated back to the woods outside the old house.

It was past dinner time when the two returned to the old house. Catalina heated up some food and ate with them.

After taking a bath, Chen Bin went to Catalina's room, intending to talk to her about their problems.

However, she was not in the bedroom.

Chen Bin searched the hall, garden and kitchen, and finally found Catalina in his bedroom. She had prepared warm water to wash Chen Bin's feet.

Chen Bin closed the door and sat on the quaint rosewood chair. "Kate, come and sit here."

"What's the matter?" She sat down on the chair next to Chen Bin obediently, and her mind was instantly filled with random thoughts, especially the erotic picture album given to her by the eighth aunt.

"Do you know that Isabel doesn't like living here?" Chen Bin asked with a smile.

Catalina was brought back to her senses by the sudden question, and pretended to be puzzled and said, "No, I think my mother likes it here."

Chen Bin laughed dumbly, he didn't expect that she even called her mother, and she knew how to defend Yisha.

Seeing Chen Bin smiling without saying anything, Catalina also felt that what she said just now was a bit untenable, so she added: "Maybe she doesn't like the weather in eastern Guangdong?"

"Puff!" Chen Bin laughed very unkindly, and then said: "Don't cover for her, the old man has long seen that she doesn't like too many broken rules here, it's just like the pastoral life of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention Yisha, a Westerner, I would go crazy if I lived here for a year."

Catalina smiled in agreement, but didn't say anything.

Seeing her saying so, Chen Bin got straight to the point.

"Don't listen to Aunt Eighth's nonsense. She was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and we are from modern society. Our thinking is completely different. Tell them frankly that we don't like ancient rituals either. They won't force you to do anything. It's just that Yisha is too proud to explain it clearly."

"No, I think this is good..." Kate wanted to defend them, but Chen Bin interrupted her.

"Look at this plate. This is the work of an ancient maid. I'm marrying a wife, not a servant. Also, soaking feet before bed is not popular here, and it's summer vacation now! Aunt Eighth married here from the northeast, so she brought many customs from there. Uncle Eighth has tolerated her for decades and dared not let her change. So, don't just look at the surface when looking at things. Now it's the Republic period, and the monks also follow the government's policy and don't favor boys over girls. The patriarch of our Chen family, that is, our old man, does not interfere with the clan members following traditions, but also does not force others to follow outdated traditions. So, don't suppress your nature anymore. I like the original Catalina."

"But if you like to follow traditions, I like to do it, without forcing..."

"What about the tradition of having three wives and four concubines? Do you want to follow it?"

When Chen Bin said this, Catalina's face turned cold. She took a few deep breaths and then smiled, "If my husband wants to take a concubine, I will have no choice but to obey..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly made a scissor hand gesture towards Chen Bin's belt, pretending to say viciously, "I will only obey my heart and snap you off!"

Chen Bin instinctively shrank, covering his lower body and said, "My wife, have you decided not to follow tradition?"

"No." Katerina finally returned to her original liveliness and said easily, "But it's also good to learn traditional culture from them. These days I have learned a lot of Cantonese dishes, and I have also learned a lot of needlework and housework..."

The two finally returned to their original feelings as lovers and talked easily for a long time.

"Kate, I think it's time to tell you my secrets, but these secrets also involve important actions in the monk world, so you need to swear an unbreakable oath, otherwise I can't explain to the administration."

Kate thought about it and nodded.

The two walked to Yisha's room and asked her to be a witness before returning to Chen Bin's bedroom.

After returning, Chen Bin and Kate looked at each other awkwardly for a while, and then laughed together.

Yisha didn't open the door for a long time just now, pretending to be asleep.

However, Chen Bin guessed what they were doing, so he knocked on the door vigorously, pretending to be anxious, and said: "Dad, Mom, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? I will go find the old man and all the uncles to come and check your pulse."

The door opened instantly, and Yisha inside made a cannibalistic expression, wanting to strangle his son to death with his own hands.

When Chen Bin and Chen Bin left, Chen Weiguo's pants were obviously worn backwards, and Isabel was covering her chest the whole time.

The two laughed for a long time, and then Chen Bin told everything about him.

Of course, he still modified the experience of soul traveling and changed it into a prophetic dream of the Naama family. As for Caitlina, just let her think of it. Anyway, Chen Bin insisted that every Nama tribe member would receive this kind of message the moment they were born.

They chatted until almost dawn, and finally told the whole story, including the three high-mob families, the "Harry Potter" novel series, what good things Isha had done, what he and Lao Deng had done, and what he had done. What plans did he have with the monks, what bad things did old Dubrovsky do, etc. As for his cooperation with secular officials, it can only be described in one or two sentences, because this is a top secret related to accelerating his rise. The details really require authorization, and even Yisha and Chen Weiguo cannot know.

Chen Bin finally concluded: "So, I want to postpone the wedding until the year after Harry graduates. We will be considered real adults then, but now our marriage certificate is valid. Is this okay?"

Katerina finally understood why the Naama family had risen so rapidly, and why Chen Bin was, in most cases, more mature than his peers, and even more mature and wise than many professors. It turns out that he has an additional thirty-six years of experience.

"Hmph, there is a trap in your words." Caitlina pretended to be angry: "According to the story you told, Harry and Ron went directly to the Auror office without graduating, while Hermione continued to study in seventh grade in the coming year. Course. Will you never hold the wedding until Harry finishes seventh grade?"

"Well, you know that's not what I meant." Chen Bin was speechless.

"Okay, I agree with you." Katerina kissed Chen Bin and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Well, wait, this is for you to read, keep it carefully." Chen Bin also handed her a set of seven volumes of prophecy stories. "The content is for reference only. Isha wrote most of it, and I completed the rest with the help of the Philosopher's Stone. There may be about 10% discrepancy or omission from the original work. I can't remember that much content."

Katerina kissed Chen Bin again, and then happily returned to her bedroom. Chen Bin proved with his actions that she was his woman, and even shared all his secrets with her. All this convinced her more than any promise.

In the next week, Katerina followed the eighth aunt as usual to learn how to be a "qualified" Chinese daughter-in-law. However, she informed the elders that she planned to postpone the wedding until after she was 18 years old. Unexpectedly, they accepted it with understanding.

Chen Bin relied on the multiplication of the Philosopher's Stone and practiced with his master to the point where he no longer needed to practice. Unless his energy and body both broke through, he would not be able to master the next stage of moves.

Therefore, Chen Weiguo and Yisha also returned to London, while Chen Bin and Katerina went to the next village to visit Li Xiuhui. Chen Bin revealed to Katerina that she was the mother in the dream and is now his godmother.

Chen Bin and Li Xiuhui had already agreed on this explanation. When Katerina saw her, she sweetly called out: "Mom, my daughter is here to see you."

When Li Xiuhui heard this call, she was so sweet that she shed tears. The two of them were so frightened that they coaxed each other for a long time.

Then, the three of them traveled together for another week.

Catalina has promised Li Xiuhui not to reveal her existence to Isabel, and then gets a blood-spelled version of Occlumency. Unless someone can break the blood curse of the Naama family, hundreds of times the magic power will not be able to invade the learner's brain.

The last stop for the three of them was to visit the Enchanting Park in Wan City, where the factory and laboratory are located.

The periphery of the park has been blessed with an exorcism spell, and many plants have been planted in the green area, as well as rockeries and flowing water. It is a completely retro-style Chinese garden.

There were many open and hidden sentries in the garden. Most of the sentries were wearing Hanfu and holding wooden swords. They ignored the three visitors who brought their registration certificates.

Viewed from a distance, the original iron factory building has been transformed into a traditional Chinese house, and its appearance is slightly uncoordinated in proportion. After all, a real ancient building is an ultra-wide space that does not require a factory building.

As the liaison officer of the Naama family in China, Farley had long been standing outside the gate of the house, waiting for the arrival of the three people.

She took the three of them to visit the workshop and laboratory, using poor Mandarin to introduce the whole process.

The workshop has been greatly changed. Many people wearing short-term clothing are skillfully assembling. A large number of modern machines that even Chen Bin cannot understand are operating at full capacity, producing many of the latest weapons, armors and auxiliary items.
