Chapter 470 The Happiness of Having Her

A long and fulfilling day finally passed.

By the time Yun Chen went to bed holding the Taiping Sword and the Yinyue Sword, it was already late at night and almost dawn.

On this day, they transferred the confiscated property in front of the Silijian and robbed Wang Qing's family's convoy in an extremely immoral manner.

Yun Chen had never been a "bad guy" who broke the law. After playing around with Yan Shijiu for a whole day, she felt inexplicably relieved. Now she was tossing and turning in bed excitedly, unable to calm down.

Guessing that they couldn't sleep, she simply got up and went to the yard to wake up the Wolf-Slaying Colt and the Cloud-Swallowing Beast who were sleeping soundly, then took out Taiping and Yinyue and performed sword dancing for the horses.

She held two swords in her hands, dancing with concentration and devotion. Sometimes her movements were as smooth as flowing water, with the sword tips shining like the moon, and sometimes she thrust hard and spun around, making the swords ring softly.

The moonlight made the ground silvery white, and also cast a clear and lively light like water into her eyes.

When she stopped her sword, panting, Yan Shijiu had come over at some point and was leaning against the pillar in the corridor, with a smile on his face, looking almost obsessed.

"Why don't you sleep?" Yun Chen asked.

This voice brought Yan Shijiu back to his senses. He stood up straight, frowned, and was surprised to find that the moment he watched Yun Chen dancing with the sword was one of the few times in his life when he was fully focused.

He used to be the prince of Dongyan and the great salt merchant Yan Shijiu. Now he is the emperor of Dongyan, Yan Xing, and the male favorite of Nanli Jun...

His many identities and secrets made him always keep his eyes and ears open. Even though he was guarded by secret guards day and night, and there were even more than 200 secret guards in the Yan Mansion, who were everywhere, he still didn't dare to relax for a moment.

But just now, he was so fascinated by Yun Chen's sword dance that he was rarely mesmerized.

The feeling of complete peace of mind and body made him feel particularly fresh.

He walked towards Yun Chen with calm and steady steps. Just then, a gust of wind came, bringing the slightly sweet and warm scent of Yun Chen's body into his nose, making his heart suddenly beat violently.

Yun Chen only wore an outer shirt over her pajamas. The collar was not high, and her thin and protruding collarbone could be clearly seen. There were thin beads of sweat on it, which were as white as pearls.

Her hair was still tied into the simplest and cleanest bun as before. The fluffy hair on her temples was wet with sweat and stuck to her porcelain-white cheeks.

Her red lips were slightly open, she was breathing softly, and her chest was rising and falling slightly.

Yan Shijiu almost didn't dare to look at him anymore. He avoided his gaze and tried to calm down his increasingly hot feeling.

It was only the second day that Yun Chen entered the Yan Mansion, and he couldn't scare her.

But he has seen all kinds of Yun Chen over the years, so why is he still easily seduced?

It's only the second day, is it so hard?

Yan Shijiu couldn't help but sigh.

Yun Chen thought about it and thought that he was robbing Wang Qing today, so he said with gratitude and guilt:

"Are you so worried you can't sleep? What you bought for three hundred thousand taels of gold has gone down the drain. Wang Qing and the others have suffered such a huge loss. They will definitely report it to the authorities. I'm afraid it will not end well for you."

"Not really." Yan Shijiu chuckled, her playful spirit rising again. "Is your husband so incompetent? The reason we chose the grove outside Jingdu City tonight is precisely because beyond the grove, it no longer belongs to Jingdu City, but to the neighboring Duzhong City. If Wang Qing reports to the authorities, he must go to Duzhong City. I know the place well and I guarantee I can cover it up."

"Are you familiar with it?" Yun Chen asked.

Yan Shijiu said confidently, "Yes, the emperor gave me Duzhong City last year, and the governor is none other than your husband—oh, and guess who the auctioneer for tonight's auction is?"

"It's yours too?" Yun Chen's eyes widened, connecting all the events of tonight together. After thinking for a long time, he said with sincere admiration:

"Amazing, truly amazing! You've taken the money, looted the things, and even asked someone to report it to the police, but it's no use. You're the best at taking everything! So, you've already arranged everything, and whoever bids for my sword and horse tonight will be in big trouble with you? Then why did you let me bid, making me think it was impossible?"

Yan Shijiu smiled evilly, hooked his finger at Yun Chen, motioning her to come closer, and then said to her ear with a smile, word by word:

"I like seeing you angry. You look so pretty when you're angry. Is that an acceptable excuse?"

After saying that, Yan Shijiu couldn't control himself any longer and lowered his head to peck her on the temple.

By the time Yun Chen reacted, Yan Shijiu had obviously realized he was going to be beaten, and had already run faster than a rabbit. His voice could be heard from afar, and he laughed loudly:

"Wow! I finally succeeded once, I'm so happy! Good lady, good lady, this is the reward for all the hard work today——"

Yun Chen rubbed his temples vigorously with his hands until his face almost turned red. He was so angry that he kept stamping his feet and cursing "face-hungry bitch", but did not chase after her.

That night, in the familiar surroundings, listening to the occasional clatter of horses' hooves, and holding Taiping and Yinyue in his arms, Yun Chen fell into a deep, dreamless sleep after a long time.

In the study over there, Yan Shijiu tossed and turned. He got up in the middle of the night to change his pants twice and did 200 push-ups. He wished Wan Chen would pour a bucket of ice water on him to relieve his anger.

In the end, there was really no other way, so Yan Shijiu lay in the snow for a quarter of an hour in a thin layer of pajamas before he finally felt his desire subside.

He lay on the cool, soft snow, looking at the clear blue sky. The stars twinkled like gems, and the moon was hazy and pure, just like Yun Chen's eyes when he dozed off.

"Wan Chen, you said that if I also took back the Hidden Moon Sword, when I unify the Three Kingdoms, ascend the throne as emperor, and enthrone Yun Chen as empress, Huo Gan Nian will feel my appreciation and sincerely bless Yun Chen and me, right?"

Wan Chen was silent for a long time, swallowed hard, and replied:

"meeting."

But what I was thinking was:

"Your Majesty, are you mistaken? The four most irreconcilable hatreds in life are the hatred of killing one's father, the hatred of stealing one's wife, the hatred of exterminating one's family, and the hatred of losing one's country. You are almost at the end of all four hatreds, and you still expect Huo Gannian to bless you? Hmm? With what blessing? With life? It's not certain whose life it is."

Wan Chen really wanted to persuade Yan Shijiu again that killing Huo Gannian was the safest option, but he knew very well how stubborn Yan Shijiu was.

Unifying the Three Kingdoms, making Yun Chen love him, and making Huo Gan Nian submit to him, all of these are Yan Shijiu's obsessions.

Maybe, people are just like this, always chasing after things that don’t belong to them and are particularly difficult to obtain.

Wan Chen thought so. Yan Shijiu suddenly asked again:

"Is everything about the Forbidden God Mountain ready?"

"Everything is ready. You and your wife can come over at any time." Wan Chen said.

Yan Shijiu shook his head. "No rush. We got married yesterday, and today is only the second day. Let's wait until she's more familiar with the situation, more settled, and no longer feels uneasy or unfamiliar. Then we can go. 'Destroying the Will' is easy, we can just do it a few more times. 'Reshaping Yun Chen' is difficult, and we must not be careless."

Wan Chen didn't respond. Yan Shijiu let out a long sigh, curling his lips. The moonlight illuminated his handsome young face, making it look as deep and cold as a sculpture.

"Wan Chen, you will soon witness with your own eyes how she willingly loves me, trusts me, and relies on me. When the day comes that I truly possess her—"

Yan Shijiu paused as he spoke, as if he suddenly didn't know what promise to make.

What kind of expensive gift would be worthy of the happiness of having Yun Chen?

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Wan Chen saved his face at the right moment and said:

"On that day, you can just give me a monthly salary increase."

Yan Shijiu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, startling the birds in the nearby trees so much that they flapped their wings and flew away.
