Helpless, Ye Xingchen silenced and locked his phone, ignoring her completely.
But the photos he had just taken made him feel unbearably hot and restless, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. So he opened the door and ran to Si Qianyu's room.
This house was the place he found for Si Qianyu to stay in. Si Qianyu was not feeling well today, so she slept in a separate room from him.
"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you it's not convenient to cultivate together today?" Si Qianyu, wrapped in the blanket, looked at Ye Xingchen with a puzzled expression.
"I can't sleep." Ye Xingchen looked at her exposed skin, his mouth dry.
"Come here." Si Qianyu lifted the blanket, and Ye Xingchen dove in.
"What triggered you? Why are you so agitated?" Si Qianyu asked.
"No, I just miss you," Ye Xingchen said with a wry smile.
"That won't work either, it's not convenient today. But if you say something nice, I can help you out." Si Qianyu thought for a moment.
"My beloved concubine, I'm entrusting her to you." Ye Xingchen said, suppressing his anger.
Si Qianyu finally smiled broadly. She lay on top of Ye Xingchen, gently kissing his skin, her kisses moving downwards...
The next day, Ye Xingchen was invited to the Tang family's residence, and he brought Si Qianyu along.
They stayed at the Tang family home for lunch, and then Old Master Tang, on a whim, played chess with Ye Xingchen in the pavilion, while Tang Jin volunteered to show Si Qianyu around the Tang family home.
That night, in a moment of crisis, Si Qianyu fell from the sky and became Tang Jin's goddess.
However, if he were to use ordinary methods to pursue Si Qianyu, he would probably end up with a bloody head.
Ye Xingchen and Old Tang were playing chess, while Tang Yixue was brewing tea on the side.
"Xiao Ye, your chess skills are quite good." Old Tang said with a smile, "I think it's easy for you to beat me, but you can play against me evenly and without any weaknesses."
"Not at all, it's Master Tang who's a step ahead; I'm just trying my best to catch up," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"You're too modest. It's a good thing for young people to be modest." Old Tang slowly put down the chess piece in his hand and said helplessly, "I'm not playing anymore. I know your skill level is far superior to mine."
"Is there anything you need, Mr. Tang?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
"You're a smart man indeed; there's no need to be so explicit." Old Tang smiled slightly and said, "Little Ye, what do you think of the underworld in Yanjing right now?"
"Without Li Jincheng, the balance among the four cities is disrupted." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "We need to select a suitable candidate as soon as possible."
"Yes, Chen Hu is currently in charge of the eastern part of the city, and the other two are really uneasy." Old Tang sighed and said, "Now they come to my place every day to recommend people who are on good terms with them."
"Does Old Tang have a suitable candidate in mind?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Not for now." Old Tang shook his head: "Back then, my Tang family ancestors made contributions to the country, which is why the Tang family is where it is today."
"If those people in the underworld are not restrained, they will grow wildly and eventually cause great disaster. Over the years, our Tang family has tried its best to restrain the underworld forces, which is why we have come this far, as if walking on thin ice. If we lose the balance, it will be very difficult to restore the current situation."
"If the old man doesn't have a suitable candidate, why not let Miss Tang give it a try?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Me?" Tang Yixue shook her head: "I'm a girl, I'm not suited for fighting and killing."
"And what about your younger brother?" Ye Xingchen said calmly, "He's a boy."
“He’s even more unreliable, spending his days indulging in pleasure.” Old Tang shook his head and gave a wry smile: “Actually, I was thinking of having Mr. Ye take over the management of Dongcheng.”
"I'm afraid I can't do it." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "I'm tied up with many things, and I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Elder Tang."
"What should we do then?" Old Tang slowly stood up: "It's not that Chen Hu can't take over, but after all, he also holds the title of the West City. If he has too much power, it will disrupt the balance. Moreover, the two people in the South and North of the city have always been dissatisfied, so it's difficult to handle."
“Grandpa, if all else fails, let Tang Jin give it a try,” Tang Yixue suddenly said. “He may be unreliable, but he is the only male heir in the Tang family and should shoulder some responsibility.”
"Alright," Old Tang nodded.
Just then, a pig-like scream came from afar; it was Tang Jin's voice.
"What's wrong?" Everyone was taken aback.
Knowing what had happened, Ye Xingchen stood up and rushed towards the direction where Tang Jin was screaming.
When they arrived, they found Tang Jin lying on the ground, his whole body convulsing, while Si Qianyu stood to the side, her expression icy.
"What happened?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“He’s dishonest.” Si Qianyu glanced at Tang Jin.
Originally, Tang Jin was taking Si Qianyu around to see the Tang family's manor.
However, this guy was very arrogant and his tone was quite provocative. Si Qianyu was a guest at his house and it was inconvenient for her to make a scene, but this guy finally became so bold that he actually tried to reach out and grab Si Qianyu's hand.
As expected, this guy was hit by Si Qianyu's Ice Soul Silver Flower hidden weapon. Although it wasn't a fatal blow, the ice flower was embedded in his body. The poison dissipated, and he probably wouldn't be satisfied until he was in pain for three days and three nights.
"Goddess, please spare me this time, ah..." Tang Jin felt as if a million poisonous insects were gnawing at his body, and he was in so much pain that tears almost fell from his eyes.
"You deserve it." Ye Xingchen glared at this guy. Whose woman do you dare to touch? Who do you dare to mess with?
"Ye Xingchen, what does this have to do with you?" Tang Jin roared. "Why are you everywhere?"
"If I weren't always around, would you still be standing here arguing with me?" Ye Xingchen glanced at the guy with disdain. He put his arm around Si Qianyu's slender waist and said, "Look carefully, this is my woman. Don't try anything funny in the future, or you'll regret it."
"Ye Xingchen, you, you let go of my goddess!" Tang Jin was furious. There weren't many people he considered goddesses, but now his goddess was being held by someone's waist?
This was worse than death for him. He couldn't say anything else, but when it came to women, no one had ever dared to openly oppose him like this.
"Are you even fully grown yet? Already acting like a jealous lover?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him, then said to Tang Yixue, who had rushed over, "I think your brother should get some training. You might as well give my suggestion a try."
"Okay, I'll think about it seriously." Tang Yixue glanced at Tang Jin, her face full of helplessness.
"Let's go." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, took Si Qianyu's hand, walked out, and then drove away.
"It's best to warn that kid that if he does it again, I really won't be so polite," said Si Qianyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Ha, he's just a kid, don't take it too seriously." Ye Xingchen laughed. "But he's been taught a lesson, so he should stay away from you in the future."
"I hope so," Si Qianyu said, looking straight ahead.
Suddenly, her gaze fell upon a middle-aged couple with slightly graying hair who caught her attention.
