Chapter 422 To Change the Void Stone
âMm...â
Mengmeng sat next to them. She stared at them with her big bright eyes for a while and muttered, âMaMa, who is coming?â
âItâs... MaMaâs younger sister. You should call her Aunty,â Zi Yan replied.
âMm, thereâs another aunty.â Mengmeng thought about it while counting on her little fingers. âThere is Aunty Lili, Aunty Ya, Auntyâs mom, Auntyâs dad, Aunty Feifei, and Uncle Feng. There are so many. Another aunty is coming now. Mengmeng canât remember them all!â
âPoof...â Zi Yan laughed out loud.
She sighed with emotion in her heart. When it was only Mengmeng and herself, she only had two friends in San Diego to hang out with occasionally. She didnât have contact with too many people. She was actually a little introverted and timid.
At present, the whole family was reunited and there were more people around Mengmeng. Especially after her father was back, the little girl became more outgoing, which made Zi Yan very happy.
However, there was a small problem. Zhang Han spoiled Mengmeng too much and it was easy for her to develop bad habits. Zi Yan thought she needed to take care of that herself.
Every time she interfered, Mengmeng always pouted her mouth and said, âPaPa said I can do that.â
Every time that happened, Zi Yan would complain a little. âWith the development of time, how could I have become a strict mother in my daughterâs heart?
âItâs all his fault!
âHmph!â
Fortunately, Zi Yan educated her very well before and the girl was still very well-behaved up to now. Otherwise, under the guidance of such an undemanding father, her daughter would have become a wild kid without manners!
Thinking of that, Zi Yan glanced at Zhang Han in anger.
Zhang Han was a bit confused.
âWhatâs wrong with her?â
Then, Zi Yan held Mengmeng in her arms and said, âNot only your aunty, youâll also see your grandfather and grandmother in a few days.â
âOh? Grandfather, Grandfather...â Mengmeng began to think while muttering, âPaPaâs papa is my grandfather. PaPaâs mama is my grandmother. MaMaâs papa is also my grandfather. MaMaâs mama is also my grandmother. Oh, itâs them!â
âRight, theyâre your grandparents,â Zi Yan said with a smile.
âThen, will they like Mengmeng?â
âOf course they will.â
âThen they will buy me potato chips, tomato-flavored potato chips, shrimp chips, biscuits, seaweed...â
When Mengmeng began to talk about various snacks, Zi Yan couldnât help laughing.
Mengmeng remembered all kinds of snacks so clearly. She wondered how many times Zhang Han had secretly given them to her!
Zi Yan rolled her eyes at Zhang Han again.
âUh...â
Zhang Han grinned and said, âIâll make a call.â
While they were speaking, he walked to the tea table, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Lei Tiannanâs number.
âHello, Director Zhang, I heard that youâve gotten a lot of natural precious materials recently. How about the five elements furnace?â Lei Tiannan asked jokingly.
âNot bad,â Zhang Han responded.
Lei Tiannan waited for 10 seconds and got confused.
âNot bad? Is that all?
âWonât he show his gratitude? He has so many treasures. Wonât he give me some?â
âWhy did you call me?â Lei Tiannan asked directly.
âI want to exchange something with you.â
âWhat do you want?â
âA Void Stone!â
âPoof... Zhang Han, thatâs enough!â Lei Tiannan felt a little angry. He said, âThere are only three Heaven-grade treasures in the Treasure House. Iâve already given you one. If you take one more away, the Treasure House would look so shabby, right?â
After that, Lei Tiannan continued to ask, âYouâll exchange something for that? What will you give me?â
âA medicinal pellet.â
âWhat medicinal pellet?â
âThe medicinal pellets can promote a Heaven-stage Master to a Wu Dao Grand Master. Theyâre also Heaven-grade treasures,â Zhang Han said with a smile.
âHiss... Heaven-grade medicinal pellets?â Lei Tiannan raised his eyebrows, saying, âHow many?â
âOne.â
âYou want to exchange one pellet for the whole piece of Void Stone? No, no, no, itâs not enough. At least two.â
âThen Iâll get half of it.â
âDeal! When will you come to take it?â
âTomorrow.â
âThen Iâll wait for you.â
Through a simple conversation, that matter was fixed.
After that, Zhang Han hung up the phone and went to the sofa to sit beside Zi Yan. They watched cartoons with Mengmeng for more than half an hour and it was after 10 oâclock.
Moving her body in Zi Yanâs arms, Mengmeng looked up and asked, âThe cartoon is over. MaMa, how about we go listen to dad tell stories?â
âOkay, letâs go. Weâll go to bed after washing up.â While speaking, Zi Yan carried Mengmeng to the bathroom.
âLetâs go!â Mengmeng stretched out her small arms and waved.
âOh my, you got heavier. I wonât be able to carry you if you grow bigger,â Zi Yan patted her butt and said.
âNot at all. When PaPa carries me, he says Iâm very light,â Mengmeng pouted her small mouth and said.
âThatâs because your PaPa is strong. MaMa is weak.â
âThen you should be stronger, MaMa.â
Zi Yan giggled, saying, âOkay, MaMa will practice more and still carry you later.â
They entered the bathroom while talking.
Looking at their backs, Zhang Han smiled softly.
He planned to get the Void Stone because he wanted to refine the space ring. With the space treasure, it would be much more convenient to bring anything over.
So far, he had seen several people with space treasures.
Protector Leng wore a green thumb-ring before, which was a space treasure. Lei Tiannan, Wang Zhanpeng, and Xiang Qitian from the Mystical Fog Sect all had a space ring respectively. Apparently, the Void Stone wasnât a very rare treasure there.
It was obvious since it could be exchanged for certain points.
Soon, Zi Yan and Mengmeng went out of the bathroom and went to the master bedroom. They put on their pajamas, while Zhang Han took off the jacket.
After they went to bed, Zhang Han continued to tell the story.
After about 20 minutes, the little princess fell asleep.
But Zi Yanâs big eyes were still blinking. She looked spirited.
While grinning at her, Zhang Han went over to the bed and hugged Zi Yan quickly.
âOh no, wait a sec. Thereâs still something,â Zi Yan twisted her body and whispered.
âWhat is it?â Zhang Han asked with a chuckle.
âWait a sec.â
Zi Yanâs big eyes lit up. She bit her lips and took the phone from the other side. After plugging in the headphones, she gave one to Zhang Han and left the other one for herself. Then, she opened a file on the phone and clicked it to play.
The accompaniment began.
It was the accompaniment that they had listened to at noon.
After a few seconds, Zi Yanâs beautiful and sweet voice was heard.
âI close my eyes and breathe next to your heart; At this moment on the earth, there are only us; Your smiling lips always hook my heart; Every second, I want to kiss you; I love you, love you, love you; I want to be with you forever; I like the smell of your coat; I like being in your arms...â
The sweet song interpreted the taste of happiness. Through it, one could fully feel her happiness that was brought by a manâs deep love for her.
Zi Yan felt that Zhang Han was the Prince Charming that God had given her.
He shouldâve become an immortal, but he got reborn.
In the last life, there wasnât her.
But Zhang Han returned.
In the present life, there was her and Mengmeng.
âIsnât he the Prince Charming that God sent to me?â
Zi Yan had a soft heart. The happiness brought by sweet love gave her a lot of inspiration. So, she wrote that song in just two days to express her feelings.
Just like that, the two of them listened to the whole song quietly.
After that, Zhang Han fixed his eyes on Zi Yan, which almost melted Zi Yanâs heart.
âDo you know what the songâs name is?â Zi Yan licked her lips and whispered.
Zhang Han smiled and shook his head slightly.
âItâs called âLoving Youâ.â
Zi Yanâs beautiful eyes blinked. She stared at Zhang Han, whispering, âDo you have anything you want to tell me?â
âI love you too.â Zhang Han smiled slightly.
His heart had become extremely soft. He even thought of quitting cultivation and living a plain life with Zi Yan, Mengmeng, and his family.
It would be enough.
He was just like a king in ancient times who would abandon the whole nation just for the woman he loved.
Their thoughts were quite similar.
Zhang Han was also very moved. He thought since she did that to him, he would certainly not let her down in her whole life.
Not only was Mengmeng his little princess, but she was also his princess.
Zi Yan felt love from Zhang Hanâs gaze, but she still pouted her mouth and snorted, âThatâs too simple.â
âHaha...â
Zhang Han burst into laughter. After thinking for a moment, he stared at Zi Yan and said slowly in a deep voice, as if he was taking an oath, âI returned to this life... to love you.
âI promise Iâll never... let you down.â
âYou passed the test.â Zi Yan smiled.
Zhang Han leaned sideways to press against Zi Yanâs body and asked, âIs there any reward?â
The masculinity made Zi Yan a little dizzy. With a blush appearing on her pretty face, she bit her lower lip and said, âWhat reward do you want?â
âTomorrow, Iâll buy some sexy black...â
âHmph, youâre dreaming. Hmph, annoying. Go to the secondary bedroom.â
â...â
The next day, the sky was clear and bright.
At the Singapore International Airport, three young girls were waiting for a plane.
Among them, two girls had good figures and pretty faces. One of them was about 1.68 meters tall, with yellow hair and an oval face. Her eyes were slanting a bit upwardly, looking very attractive and sexy.
Another girl had long brown curly hair, with long eyelashes and big eyes. Her eyebrows were similar to Zi Yanâs. That was Zi Yanâs younger sister, Zi Shiya.
The other girl wasnât very good-looking. People often said that for a girl, fair skin would cover all her disadvantages and a fat body would destroy all her advantages. That girl was a bit fat. She was about 1.6 meters tall, but her weight... It looked like she was over 70 kg.
âLiu Shasha, we couldâve gone to a celebrity party this evening, but you insisted on going to see your boyfriend. Donât blame me for not taking you there,â Zi Shiya looked at the tall girl next to her and said.
âI have no other choice. Itâll be my boyfriendâs birthday. I have to go there to celebrate it.â Liu Shasha rolled her eyes. Then, she looked at the slightly fat girl and said, âYuwei, youâve always wanted to join a celebrity party. We didnât have the chance this time. Please donât worry about it.â
âOh, itâs all right!â Yuwei smiled naturally. Then, she said, âWe were experiencing that every day recently. I really didnât expect that Shiyaâs family is so rich. Wow, it seems that your courtyard is as big as our university, right? The food was also good. The lobster was so delicious. Itâs awesome.â
A person who was broad-minded tended to grow fat easily. That sentence did make some sense. Seeing that Yuwei didnât care at all, both Zi Shiya and Liu Shasha laughed.
She had hung around with her two friends for a few days and showed them the Zi Clanâs great power, but she wasnât that proud. Her family being rich didnât mean that she was rich. Her pocket money for one year was only more than one million. Yuweiâs family was also very rich. When her dad sent her to school, he drove three Bentleys. However, what she cared about most was food, followed by clothes and other things.
As for Liu Shasha, she wasnât rich, but she wasnât lacking anything because she had a boyfriend who was studying in a university in Hong Kong. It was very close to Shenzhen, so the two of them saw each other every week.
âShasha, you and Yunlei have been together for only two months, and youâre not in the same place. Arenât you worried that heâll have an affair?â Zi Shiya suddenly said.
She had met Liu Shashaâs boyfriend three times and his name was Yunlei. Every time they dated, heâd spend 20 or 30 thousand yuan. He was quite rich, but he was ordinary-looking and 1.7 meters tall.
Zi Shiya felt that Liu Shashaâs boyfriend occasionally looked at her secretly and his looks were abnormal. Therefore, she thought that he was a man who wasnât loyal to love and liked to play the field.
âHe wouldnât. I have a classmate who is in the same department as him at his university and they often see each other. If something is wrong, she would tell me!â Liu Shasha said with a smile, âShiya, donât talk about me. There are also several men who are pursuing you. Donât you like any of them?â
âThatâs right.â Yuwei was interested in this and she said, âThere are two handsome guys. Both the sophomore, whoâs the chairman of the Student Union, and the most good-looking man in our department are wonderful! They look so cute and obedient. If I were you, I wouldâve already dated them.â
âCome on, youâve watched too many Korean dramas. You like that kind of guy.â Zi Shiya curled her lips and said, âI donât like such kind of cute guys. I like masculine men who are very tough or look cold. He wouldnât like to smile at outsiders, just at me.â
As she spoke, Zi Shiya began to laugh.
There was one point that she did not tell them. As a legitimate daughter in the Zi Clan, there was an unwritten rule in the family, which was that her marriage had to be beneficial to the development of her family.
It would be good if the man she fell in love with was from a famous and influential family. But, if he wasnât, that would be very difficult. There were many lessons in the past, so she was afraid to start a relationship.
But she also hoped to have a romantic relationship with a masculine or cold, mature man. She thought that even if her family didnât agree, she could go out and live independently like her sister. That would also be good.
Thinking of that, Zi Shiya said with a smile, âAlthough we couldnât make it to the party, Iâll take you to see my sister. I promise thatâll surprise you a lot!â
âCan your sister surprise us?â Yuwei shook her head again and again, saying, âI donât think so. Only big lobsters can surprise me.â
âCome on, Iâm not joking with you. Itâs true. Iâve contacted her and sheâll come to pick us up when we get off the plane.â Zi Shiya said.
âWho is your sister?â Liu Shasha asked with curiosity.
Zi Shiya hesitated a bit. Then, she stamped her feet lightly and said, âI planned to tell you when we get off the plane. Hmph. Iâll just tell you now. You mustâve heard my sisterâs name because many songs weâve been listening to recently are sung by her.â
âSongs? Her songs? Weâve been listening to her songs? Surnamed Zi...â Liu Shasha said. With her eyes open wide, she covered her mouth with her right hand and said in surprise, âIs it Zi Yan youâre talking about?â
âAh? She is your sister?â Yuwei almost choked on her own saliva.
âOf course.â
Zi Shiyaâs eyes flashed with adoration. She said, âZi Yan is my uncleâs daughter. I often played with her when I was a child. She was very popular five years ago and almost became a movie queen. You must know her, right?â
âRight, of course we know her.â Yuwei nodded her head constantly.
âNow I know why you always looked strange when you listened to her songs recently,â Liu Shasha said, and then she quickly asked, âWhy did she stop working five years ago? Do you know the reason?â
âBecause she went to North America. Working in the entertainment circle was tiring and she needed to learn something there. I went to see her once two years ago and I donât know about other details. She made a comeback a while ago, and what happened? It didnât take long for her to be popular again!â Zi Shiya said proudly.
âItâs time to check in. Letâs go,â Yuwei reminded them.
Then, the three of them boarded the plane.
After sitting in a row, Liu Shasha leaned over to Zi Shiya and whispered, âYour sister is a superstar. Can we take a photo with her later?â
âOf course. Weâre on good terms. She wonât refuse my request!â Zi Shiya nodded while speaking.
âItâs awesome! What a big surprise!â Yuwei said happily, âShasha, letâs not go to meet your boyfriend at noon. How about we go there at night?â
âNo, weâve made a deal. Yunlei has booked the restaurant at noon. His roommates and friends will be there, too. We canât stand them up. There are other activities in the evening,â Liu Shasha shook her head while saying.
âItâs all right. Weâll arrive there at nine oâclock. So, we can rest in my sisterâs place for two hours and then go to the restaurant. In the evening, I guess Shasha will stay with her boyfriend. Yuwei and I will go to my sisterâs place. Letâs meet and go back to school the next day,â Zi Shiya said after thinking about it.
âOkay, letâs play it by ear.â Liu Shasha nodded.
âShiya, I want to take a photo with her and want her autograph. I also want her to sign my clothes. I really like your sister. There is no gossip about her in the entertainment circle. Sheâs as pure as a water lily who lives in silt but is not imbrued...â Yuwei said again and again.
âAll right, youâll get whatever you want,â Zi Shiya giggled and replied.
After more than three hours of flying, the plane landed at the Hong Kong International Airport.
After getting off the plane, Zi Shiya first called Zi Yan. After a few words, she hung up the phone.
âLetâs go. Sheâs at the intersection on the far right of the parking lot.â
After saying that, Zi Shiya took the lead and walked out of the airport.
âOh my, Iâm going to see my idol. Iâm so excited,â Yuwei said with a grin.
âJust look at yourself!â Liu Shasha rolled her eyes to her. Then, she hurriedly asked Zi Shiya, âShiya, does your sister have a good temperament? I heard that she is rather aloof.â
âAloof? Thatâs to outsiders. Donât worry. My sister is very good-tempered,â Zi Shiya said with a smile. She took the lead out of the airport and went all the way to the right.
When they arrived at the end of the road, the three of them kept looking around.
âWhere is she?â Yuwei said while looking around.
âShe said sheâs on the far right. Iâll call her again,â Zi Shiya said with confusion while taking out her mobile phone.
âUh, Shiya, I think thereâs no need to call her. Is that your sister opposite there?â Liu Shasha looked at the front and asked with confusion.
Several people were standing in the front. She faintly felt that the tall woman with sunglasses was Zi Yan. Although she wasnât sure, she knew about the two Rolls-Royce Phantoms at the back. She was very surprised and confused. âWhy is there a man holding a kid next to her?
âIs that not Zi Yan?â
So, Liu Shasha reminded her.
After that, Zi Shiya looked over.
âThatâs my sister!â
But then, she was stunned.
âWhoâs the man whoâs holding a kid next to her?â
Zi Shiya was confused at that moment.
âWhatâs going on?â
