"Itâs all your fault for wanting it so many times last night, you almost made it impossible for me to get out of bed," Li Wanqin gave Ye Luo a white look, but it only made her even more enchanting.
Ye Luo chuckled. "How could I resist when you were dressed so seductively?"
"Alright, get up, itâs time to go to work," Li Wanqin said, a shy expression on her face as she got up and dressed.
"I think we should buy a house; we canât always come to a hotel," Ye Luo said as he looked at Li Wanqin.
"Thereâs no need. This is pretty good. Even if we had a house, I wouldnât live in it; it would be a waste," said Li Wanqin lightly.
Ye Luoâs eyes gazed at Li Wanqin as he got up to embrace her, saying in a deep voice, "Iâm sorry for making you suffer."
"Itâs okay, since I chose all of this, thereâs nothing to feel aggrieved about. I just hope that there will always be a place for me in your heart, and that you will never let me disappear from it," she said.
Li Wanqin turned around and gently kissed Ye Luo on the lips.
"Donât worry, you will always have a place in my heart, Li Wanqin. You will always be Ye Luoâs woman, and thatâs something nobody can change," Ye Luo declared firmly.
A smile of happiness spread across Li Wanqinâs face.
Soon after, Ye Luo and Li Wanqin left one after the other for Ling Corporation.
Inside Ye Luoâs office, Hei Zi, Hu Zi, and Xue Tu walked in.
"Boss, did you call us here for something?" Hei Zi asked curiously.
"How are things between you and your girlfriend? Her parents arenât giving you a hard time, are they?" Ye Luo asked Hei Zi.
"Not at all. Theyâre now more than eager for me to be with Qianqian. Especially after my mother-in-law found out that youâre the fiancĂ© to the president of Ling Corporation, she couldnât speak highly enough of me. If it wasnât for your help, Iâd probably be single again," said Hei Zi, excited.
"Iâve called you here because thereâs something I want to discuss with you two," Ye Luo said, his gaze fixed on Hei Zi and Hu Zi.
Knowing the seriousness of Ye Luoâs expression, both Hei Zi and Hu Zi sensed that this matter must be important and grew solemn.
"Boss, youâve done so much for us. Just speak, and even if it means climbing mountains or diving into seas of fire, we wonât even frown," they said.
Ye Luo smiled and said, "Donât worry, itâs nothing that dramatic. I just want to know if you two want to become strong, to become a warrior of the Innate Realm like Xue Tu."
After Ye Luo finished speaking, Hei Zi and Hu Zi turned their gazes toward Xue Tu, their eyes showing a trace of fascination.
Hei Zi couldnât help saying, "I suspected that Xue Tu was a warrior of the Innate Realm. Otherwise, my heart wouldnât race every time I see him."
"He is indeed a warrior of the Innate Realm, and heâs even a master of the Innate Middle Stage," Ye Luo said casually.
"Innate Middle Stage?"
Hei Zi was taken aback, and Hu Ziâs eyes revealed a look of longing.
"What Iâm asking is, do you want to become like Xue Tu, a warrior of the Innate Realm, or even stronger?"
"Yes!" Hu Zi said without hesitation, his expression simple and honest, but his eyes flickered with a resolute light.
"Boss, reaching the Innate Realm has always been our goal, but until now, we have only been in the Acquired Realm. I am only at the Late Acquired Level, and Hu Zi, stronger than me, is at the Houtian Peak. To become part of the Innate Realm, who knows how many years it will take," Hei Zi sighed.
Ye Luo smiled from the corner of his mouth; "Donât worry, since Iâve mentioned it, I have a way to immediately turn you into warriors of the Innate Realm. These two elixirs are called Marrow Cleansing Pills, which can help you cleanse your marrow and change your physique, improving your talent in the martial dao."
"After you take them, your bodies will undergo tremendous changes, and these other two pills called Innate Pills will rapidly advance you to the Innate Realm once consumed."
Without further ado, Ye Luo took out four elixirs and handed them to the two men, which were the Marrow Cleansing Pills and the Innate Pills. These elixirs were priceless treasures, whether for common folk or those of the Hidden Sect, yet Ye Luo casually gave them to Hei Zi and Hu Zi.
Upon hearing Ye Luoâs words and looking at the four elixirs, both men had faces filled with shock.
"Do elixirs really exist in this world?" Hei Zi couldnât help exclaiming.
"It seems you know about elixirs," Ye Luo said, turning his gaze to Hei Zi.
"When Hu Zi and I were in the army, our instructor once said that to become powerful in this world, apart from painstaking cultivation, one shortcut is to take miraculous elixirs. But elixirs have not appeared in the secular world for ages, and we didnât really believe it. I never expected them to actually exist."
"Boss, can these two elixirs truly make me an Innate warrior?" Hu Ziâs eyes locked onto Ye Luo as he spoke.
Ye Luo nodded; "When have I ever deceived you? You are all like brothers to me, and I want you to become stronger."
"Next, I will have Xue Tu guide you through some experiences to break through to the Innate Realm. In the future, you can ask Xue Tu any questions about cultivation. I hope you can all become true powerhouses one day."
"Donât worry, boss, we definitely wonât let you down," said Hei Zi with a chuckle.
Ye Luoâs eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sharp glint. What he needed to do now was to cultivate his own experts to the utmost. With the elixirs and Spiritual Medicine from the Mysterious Valley and his Alchemy Technique.
He believed that given enough time, he would certainly be able to nurture a group of true experts. At that time, even the forces of the Hidden Sect would be nothing in front of him.
At the Pearl Cafe, the figure of Ye Luo entered, swiftly scanning the room and heading towards a spot. Ye Luo soon approached a beautiful woman.
This beautiful woman was Shangguan Xiner, the flight attendant heâd met. At that moment, Xiner was drinking a cup of coffee, her countenance serene and demeanor elegant, exuding a unique charm.
"Miss Shangguan!" Ye Luo said softly, and Xinerâs eyes immediately turned towards him.
"Youâre here; please sit down."
"By the way, you donât have to call me Miss Shangguan anymore, just call me Xiner. It feels a bit awkward otherwise," Shangguan Xiner said with a bright smile looking at Ye Luo.
"Isnât that nickname a bit too intimate?" Ye Luoâs expression was somewhat unnatural; using such a name felt as though they were addressing each other as boyfriend and girlfriend.
Shangguan Xinerâs face turned slightly red. If it were any other man, she undoubtedly wouldnât let him call her by her first name. Bai Yandong, her ex-boyfriend, was the only one who addressed her as Xiner, and now Ye Luo was the second.
Even she didnât understand why she would allow Ye Luo, a man sheâd only met three times, to call her by that name.
Inexplicably, she felt very familiar and close to Ye Luo, as if he were her boyfriend. This feeling was strange, and even Xiner herself couldnât figure it out.
