Chapter 995: Choice

For a moment, all the women’s gazes turned towards Luo Ji with curiosity filled in their eyes.

"Don’t tell me this is another woman you’ve picked up during your trip, you really plan on becoming the Emperor, huh?"

Yan Ling looked at Ye Luo and laughed behind her hand.

"What are you talking about? How can you think of me like that? I’m a pure person."

Ye Luo said with a straight face.

"You’re a shameless so-called pure person!"

Yan Ling joked. Especially when she thought about Ye Luo’s past behavior, she couldn’t help but snort disdainfully. This scoundrel actually dared to claim purity, was he not tarnishing the word?

"Alright, no jokes. This Luo Ji is a friend of mine. She’s unfamiliar with this place, so please take good care of her."

Ye Luo spoke up.

"Luo Ji, your hair is so pretty! Is it dyed? And your clothes are so unique! They’re made of feathers, where did you buy them?"

Yan Ling looked at Luo Ji with an astonished expression and asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"I don’t know either; it seems I was born this way."

Luo Ji shook her head as she spoke.

"Okay, Sister Yan, stop prying into these things. Go and arrange a room for Luo Ji."

Ye Luo quickly said while pulling Yan Ling along.

"Alright, I got it, you really care about Luo Ji, don’t you?" Yan Ling said with a smile.

"Now that Yu Ru and the others have stayed in Capital City, do you plan to stay in Zhonghai or in Capital City?"

Ling Qingya looked at Ye Luo and asked.

"I haven’t decided yet, but I think I’ll stay in Capital City in the future. The headquarters of both Ling Corporation and Mei Yue Group can move to Capital City, which should offer better opportunities for growth than Zhonghai."

Ye Luo spoke out.

"I’ll think about it in the future. The focus of Ling Corporation has gradually shifted toward Capital City."

Ling Qingya nodded. Capital City was prosperous with vast opportunities and at the center of power; she naturally knew the benefits. Moving to Capital City had been thoroughly considered, only previously she didn’t have the clout to ensure her company could stand firm there. Now with Ye Luo’s help, she truly could give it a try.

"I also plan to officially settle Mei Yue Company in Capital City and go public there."

Luo Jingxuan spoke up. She also had considerations similar to Ling’s.

"Then that’s perfect. Once both of your companies have settled in Capital City, we can all move there together. I’ll have someone build a large villa for us all to live in, that would be just perfect!"

Ye Luo’s face was filled with a thick smile.

"You’re planning to keep a mountain villa full of beauties, huh?"

Li Wanqin came over and laughed as she looked at Ye Luo.

"What’s wrong with that? Anyway, you all are my friends; I don’t mind supporting you."

Ye Luo said nonchalantly.

Afterward, the women began preparing dinner, and Lin Xiaoyan approached Ye Luo, asking, "Big Brother Ye, do you have any news about my dad?"

"I don’t have any news yet; what’s the matter? Are you worried about Uncle Lin?"

Ye Luo looked at Lin Xiaoyan.

"Ever since my dad said he was going to the Qingyun Sect, it’s been several months with no word from him. I’m very worried. Could something have happened to him?"

Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes were full of concern.

"Don’t worry, Uncle Lin will be fine. I’ll find a way to inquire about Uncle Lin’s situation, so try not to worry too much."

Ye Luo reassured Lin Xiaoyan. With his connections, investigating the status of Qingyun Sect wasn’t difficult, but he feared any complications. If he had to deal with Qingyun Sect himself, that would be rather troublesome.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Brother Ye."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, aware that she was causing Ye Luo trouble. He originally didn’t need to concern himself with these matters; simply helping her father with his treatment was already incredibly kind. But then he continued to help her repeatedly, which made her feel anxious, worried that she was bothering him too much and had no way to repay his kindness.

"We’ve known each other for so long, and we’re even living together; there’s no need to be so formal."

Ye Luo said with a smile, and Lin Xiaoyan’s face turned even redder, like a bright red apple.

"Xiaoyan, what’s wrong with you?"

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyan looked somewhat off, Ye Luo couldn’t help but ask.

"Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just a bit hot, so I’m going to rest in my room."

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head and quickly got up to leave.

Ye Luo was puzzled, "Why are you going to your room? We’re about to eat. Finish your meal before you go rest. You don’t need to diet, and you definitely can’t skip meals!"

Lin Xiaoyan’s face grew even redder, and she gave a faint response before heading off to help with cooking, not daring to look back at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo tilted his head, watching her retreating figure curiously.

"Idiot, she’s getting shy because she likes you."

Ao Long snorted.

"Ao Long, I thought you were a dragon. How come you understand so much about human emotions?"

Ye Luo said somewhat speechlessly.

"Because I’ve seen ten times more women than you have. Your human emotions are just like that. It’s easy for anyone to understand."

"So, Ao Long, you have women, too? Were they female dragons?"

Ye Luo asked curiously.

"Of course, Divine Dragons need women too. Otherwise, the Dragon Clan would go extinct. Naturally, I looked for female dragons, but there are also some among the Dragon Clan who choose partners from other races. However, that’s rare and strictly forbidden by the Dragon Clan’s laws. Anyone found pairing with another species faces severe punishment."

Ao Long said indifferently, proudly adding, "You can’t compare with me. I had several dozen female dragons as my wives."

"I see, no wonder you know so much, Ao Long. You’re quite experienced!"

Ye Luo said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

The dinner was quickly prepared, and although Ye Luo had eaten just over an hour ago, it didn’t stop him from eating more. He loaded up on fuel early in preparation for tonight’s cultivation.

After the meal, the responsibility of washing the dishes fell on Ye Luo.

Once everything was cleaned up, all the women went back to their respective rooms.

Ye Luo proceeded to Ling Qingya’s room, scanning it with his Clairvoyant Eye before opening the door and closing it gently.

"Wife!"

Ye Luo suddenly called out.

"Ye Luo, what brings you here?"

Ling Qingya, who was in the middle of a bath, was startled by Ye Luo’s voice.

"Why wouldn’t I come? The whole villa is mine; I go wherever I want. And you’re my wife, do I need your permission to visit your room?" Ye Luo chuckled, sprawled onto the bed, closed his eyes, and began his cultivation.

Ling Qingya huffed, but couldn’t help the surge of sweetness that rose in her heart.
