"Your master is really good to you," Fang Rushan couldnât help saying after a long moment, as he looked at Fang Yan.
"Of course, my master said I have a strong talent. If I had been trained from a young age, my strength would certainly have been greater than it is now," Fang Yan said proudly.
"Son, this time youâve come back..."
"To take revenge!"
Fang Yanâs expression turned fierce, his eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty cold light, and a terrifying aura surged around him.
"Are you going to kill that Ye Luo?" Fang Rushan asked.
"Killing him would be too boring. I want to strip everything away from him bit by bit, to completely deprive him of everything, so he understands what that feels like,"
"Besides, Iâve looked into the guy; heâs not simple in terms of strength. Even now, killing him wouldnât be easy for me. So Iâve decided to hold back for now, to stay hidden in the dark, and make that bastard lose everything before delivering the fatal blow to vent the hatred in my heart," Fang Yan said, his voice icy cold and his eyes gleaming with a chilling breath, like a venomous snake choosing its prey, sending chills down oneâs spine.
"Good, your father supports you in everything," Fang Rushan nodded.
"Donât worry, father. I promised you, this time Iâm back, and I will make the Fang Family the true ruler of Zhonghai. Even the Shen Family will have to kneel at the feet of our Fang Family," Fang Yan hummed coldly, his eyes flickering with a cold light.
Ye Luo, of course, had no idea that Fang Yan had returned to Zhonghai, nor did he know that in the future, this enemy he had forgotten would cause him great trouble and become one of the few formidable rivals in his life.
Ye Luo and his two companions played in the KTV for more than three hours. Aside from Ye Luo, Yan Ling and Luo Jingxuan were almost drunk, their faces flushed and their eyes dazed, clearly inebriated, while Ye Luo had the arduous task of bringing the two women back to the villa.
Phew!
Having finally helped the two women back to the villa, they lay directly on the sofa, and Ye Luo let out a deep breath.
Looking at the two women, drunk as mud, he revealed a bitter smile and then picked up Luo Jingxuan and took her to her room, tucking her in.
Gazing at Luo Jingxuanâs rosy cheeks, Ye Luoâs eyes flickered, and his fingers couldnât resist gently brushing her face. Soon he shook his head and left the room.
Back in the living room, Yan Ling was still lying on the sofa, her inebriation adding a more radiant luster to her face.
"These irresponsible women, always drinking, never considering my feelings. I get to pay their bills and personally bring them back," Ye Luo sighed. It was the bittersweet pain of happiness, suffering yet joyful.
He picked up Yan Ling and carried her back to the bedroom, tucking her into bed as well. Then Ye Luo went to wash off the smell of alcohol in the bathroom, muttering to himself about how the two women insist on drinking so much despite not handling alcohol well.
It was all thanks to him; with any other man, a monthâs salary wouldnât be enough for two women to spend on drinking in a single night. After his bath, he changed into fresh clothes and sat at the bedside to begin his cultivation.
The cultivation of the Nine Suns True Energy couldnât be delayed even a single day; he had many enemies and the number of people he had to protect was growing. Naturally, he needed to possess even greater strength to protect those he cherished.
Unaware of how time had passed, two hours flew by. Upstairs in the villa, Luo Jingxuanâs head ached a little from the alcohol as she slowly woke up. She got up and went into the bathroom to freshen up. Her mind was somewhat clearer, but she could faintly hear a noise lingering in her ears.
Confused, Luo Jingxuan walked out and headed to Yan Lingâs room, but didnât see her there.
"Where is she?" Luo Jingxuan felt puzzled. Then that distinct sound rose again, weakly, appearing to come from downstairs.
Luo Jingxuan went straight down, and the sound became clearerâit seemed like something was being moved. Her gaze swept over and she discovered the noise was coming from the kitchen.
As Luo Jingxuan approached the kitchen closer, the sound grew clearer. A feeling of astonishment arose within her. Reaching the kitchen doorway, she peeked in stealthily, only to find Ye Luo opening a bag of flour.
By Ye Luoâs side, there was a woman murmuring in a low voice.
She recognized the voiceâit was her good sister Yan Lingâs. They were talking quietly, intimately, not seeming like mere friends but more like a couple.
It appeared that Yan Ling had woken up hungry, and Ye Luo had come to the kitchen to cook noodles for her.
When she arrived at the kitchen, she happened to hear Yan Ling acting coquettishly with Ye Luo, speaking in a tone that was far too demure, entirely unlike Yan Lingâs usual manner.
Luo Jingxuan trembled and her complexion changed completely, becoming extremely unsightly as her eyes flickered continuously.
After hearing Yan Ling and Ye Luo flirt in the kitchen, Luo Jingxuanâs emotions were incredibly mixed. However, she didnât rush in nor did she leave, instead, she just stood by the door.
Listening to the affectionate names Yan Ling called out and Ye Luoâs chuckling responses, Luo Jingxuan was in turmoil. Even though she had never been in a relationship or dated, she could tell that Yan Ling and Ye Luoâs relationship had definitely already progressed to that of boyfriend and girlfriend.
Otherwise, they wouldnât be so close, nor would they have that flirty vibe. But when had Yan Ling and Ye Luo gotten together? She had no idea... At this moment, she couldnât help feeling somewhat lost, even in pain.
Ye Luoâs eyes, however, suddenly widened, his gaze sweeping toward the door. Activating his Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Luo Jingxuan standing there. His face changed, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He glanced at Yan Ling, unsure of what to do.
Seeing that Luo Jingxuan made no move, Ye Luo also didnât alert Yan Ling. They continued their flirtatious banter, not bothering to lower their voices anymore.
Before, they had been worried about waking her up, but now that she was awake and had discovered their relationship, there was no point in hiding it any longer. They could speak openly and freely.
In the end, Luo Jingxuan quietly turned around and returned to her room. Not long after, Ye Luo finished cooking the noodles, which were aromatic and tempting enough to make Yan Lingâs mouth water. Since they were personally made by Ye Luo, they seemed more precious to her than any rare delicacyâafter all, these noodles were filled with his affection, incomparable to soulless food.
After Ye Luo served the noodles and shared this late-night meal with Yan Ling, he returned to his room to sleep.
The next day, when the sun was already high enough to shine on their backsides, Ye Luo slowly woke up. He turned his head and saw Yan Ling, her eyes tightly closed and her eyelashes fluttering.
