Then he activated his Wind Control Technique and returned.

Upon arriving at the villa, they saw Xue Qiaoqiao standing at the door, and she rushed over as soon as she saw Gu Yan.

"Brother Yan, I'm giving you a big gift today. Also, from now on, when you see my dad, you can just call him Uncle Xue or Uncle Hai." Xue Qiaoqiao said, hugging Gu Yan's arm and blushing.

Gu Yan gave her a meaningful look, patted her pert bottom, and said, "I understand."

Then the two walked into the villa and greeted Xue Hai warmly as "Uncle Hai" upon seeing him.

"Haha, Xiao Gu, no need to be so polite. Come in and sit down. Uncle has something to tell you," Xue Hai said with a loud laugh.

Then Xue Qiaoqiao hugged Gu Yan's arm and walked in with Xiao Mengya.

"Xiao Gu, your uncle knows about you and Qiao Qiao. What do you think of her?" Xue Hai asked.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely treat Qiaoqiao well in the future," Gu Yan said without hesitation.

Xiao Mengya was stunned for a moment. Are you sure you didn't answer wrong?

Xue Qiaoqiao blushed and twisted her tongue, asking in ancient language, "So, you've come to me?"

...

"Okay, that's enough." Xue Hai said, then picked up a document.

"This document is Qiaoqiao's dowry. No matter how many women you have, you can't forget Qiaoqiao, understand?" Xue Hai said with a serious expression.

Gu Yan pulled out a pen from somewhere, signed his name, and even forced out a handprint before pressing it on.

Then he said, "Uncle, don't worry, I won't abandon Qiaoqiao, I will definitely give her happiness."

Xiao Mengya slightly raised her head; this way of eating... is truly very ancient.

Then the family ate their meal in a peaceful atmosphere. Xue Qiaoqiao sat next to Gu Yan, constantly serving him food, displaying the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Gu Yan thought to himself, "I must treat Qiaoqiao well in the future."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Gu Yan called Xiao Mengya to his side.

Xiao Mengya said warily, keeping a step's distance, "You can't stay here, Qiaoqiao is still here."

Gu Yan glanced at her black stockings and business attire. Wait, he had completely forgotten to notice her black stockings.

cough cough…

"I called you here to give you something," Gu Yan said.

Then he took out the imperial green jade that was mixed with spiritual energy and medicinal liquid.

Another stream of water flowed down, and Gu Yan used his divine sense to envelop the water and brought it to Xiao Mengya's lips.

Xiao Mengya was shocked by his action, and before she could speak, water was poured into her mouth.

She choked and kept coughing.

After a few seconds, Gu Yan looked at Xiao Mengya, who was not coughing, and said, "Did you notice anything special about the water just now?"

Xiao Mengya gave him a resentful look, then said, "It's very warm and soothing, just like soaking in a hot spring."

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Here you go. Any water that comes into contact with this will turn into the same liquid you just drank. However, it's a consumable item and you'll need to replenish it occasionally."

Drinking it regularly will definitely improve your health and prolong your life.

Xiao Mengya looked at him in surprise, then said, "I'll have it tested later. If it really has miraculous effects, then it'll be a real treasure trove."

Then the two of them went outside. What if Xue Qiaoqiao saw them after a while?

Xue Qiaoqiao saw the two people coming out and immediately went over. She looked at Xiao Mengya, whose face was flushed and who was holding a large jade in her arms. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Mengya suddenly said, "Qiaoqiao, come out with me for a bit. This thing needs to be tested."

"Oh, okay, Sister Mengya, is there anything different about this one?" Xue Qiaoqiao asked, looking at the piece of imperial green jade.

Although imperial green is very rare, she is not a woman who knows nothing about it.

"If it really has the effect that your brother Yan described, the value of the Xue Group could increase more than tenfold in the future," Xiao Mengya said with a smile.

Xue Qiaoqiao's eyes widened.

Then Xiao Mengya didn't give her a chance to speak and pulled her out.

Gu Yan watched this scene and thought to himself, "Xiao Mengya is indeed extraordinary."

Taking her in wouldn't do him any harm; she's capable and can help him resolve these kinds of situations.

Then he started to turn around, but he didn't see Old Zhou at all.

be lazy?

Then he walked to the quiet room and saw Old Zhou exhaling inside. He simply yanked the door down.

Old Zhou was so frightened that his blood boiled. When he saw that it was Gu Yan, he quickly ran over.

"Senior, what can I do for you?" Old Zhou asked.

"Didn't I tell you to protect them? Why are you just lounging around here?" Gu Yan asked.

"Senior, I heard it was you who was coming. The two young ladies are not in any danger, so I won't disturb you any longer." Old Zhou looked at this man with lingering fear, thinking to himself that he could no longer stay in this room.

"Oh, then I misunderstood you. You can stay here." After saying that, Gu Yan tossed him a Qi Nourishing Pill and three Body Tempering Pills, and then rode away on the wind.

This time I went to his warehouse, since it was a large and enclosed space.

He took out the bundle of spines and cut each one into three sections, intending to forge them into swords for them to use.

Then he drank a large gulp of the medicinal liquid, ate a Qi-nourishing pill, and recovered somewhat.

With a loud bang.

Gu Yan then started burning a section of cylindrical material, which sizzled and gradually thinned, as Gu Yan focused his divine sense on tempering the blade.

A dozen minutes later, a white bone sword with an extremely thin blade appeared in his hand.

Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction, then swallowed a Qi-Nourishing Pill to restore his energy.
