It was already past 2 PM when Liu Xiaoyuan returned to Murong Yuyan's residence. Seeing that he was so late, Murong Yuyan couldn't help but ask, "Liu Xiaoyuan, didn't you say you were going out for a bit? Why did it take you so long?"
Faced with Murong Yuyan's questioning, Liu Xiaoyuan could only say, "Plans are subject to change. Who knew things would get so complicated, so I came back a little late."
Fang Chengbai said with a grin, "Cousin, you need to give your husband some space. Men need space. If you're too controlling, it will backfire."
Murong Yuyan and her cousin hadn't eaten yet, saying they were waiting for Liu Xiaoyuan. Liu Xiaoyuan assumed Murong Yuyan had already prepared the meal, but it turned out she couldn't cook at all and said they'd eat out.
Fang Chengbai is a lazy bum. Liu Xiaoyuan discovered this after a day of contact. He doesn't have a job and came to see Murong Yuyan because he wanted to get some benefits from her.
But Murong Yuyan was very good to her cousin, almost doting on him. She would agree to whatever Fang Chengbai asked for.
According to Murong Yuyan, before she debuted, her family was poor, and she was very grateful for the help from Fang Chengbai's family.
Liu Xiaoyuan did not object to Murong Yuyan's actions, but he felt that they couldn't let Fang Chengbai have his way too much.
However, this was Murong Yuyan's family matter, and Liu Xiaoyuan shouldn't interfere.
That night, Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to stay at a hotel because Fang Chengbai was at Murong Yuyan's house. Although Murong Yuyan's house was big, there was only one bed. Where would he and Fang Chengbai sleep?
"Brother-in-law, what are you going back for? I can sleep on the sofa!" Fang Chengbai said with a grin, pulling on Liu Xiaoyuan's arm.
Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "If you're sleeping on the sofa, where am I supposed to sleep?"
Fang Chengbai looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with a grin and said, "Brother-in-law, are you kidding me? Where do you sleep? Of course, it's my cousin's room. We're all men, so don't pretend to be innocent in front of me."
I'm not pretending to be innocent at all. I have absolutely no relationship with your cousin. At most, we just held hands.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'm a very heavy sleeper. I won't wake up even if there's thunder," Fang Chengbai said with a smile.
Shao Yitian immediately understood what this guy meant and wanted to kick him. It turned out that this guy was a sleazy fellow.
"Your cousin and I are completely innocent, so don't talk nonsense," Liu Xiaoyuan said to Fang Chengbai.
Fang Chengbai said, "Brother-in-law, since you are still innocent, you should seize the opportunity even more. This opportunity is fleeting, so cherish it. I'm here tonight, and I can create an opportunity for you. Look, the sofa is only so big. If I sleep on the sofa, you won't have room. My cousin will definitely not bear to see you sleeping on the floor, and she will definitely let you sleep on the bed. Then you will have succeeded."
"Screw you, I'm not successful!" Liu Xiaoyuan thought Fang Chengbai was just asking for trouble, with no idea what he was thinking about all day long.
Over the past two days, Liu Xiaoyuan has been staying with Murong Yuyan. Murong Yuyan's little hands are getting colder and colder each day, which makes Liu Xiaoyuan more and more worried.
However, Murong Yuyan was completely unaware of the changes in her body, which was for the best, at least she lived happily every day.
That evening, Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at the small hill in the western suburbs. When he arrived, there were already seven or eight cultivators there.
When these cultivators saw Liu Xiaoyuan arrive, they all glanced at him but remained silent, and no one came forward to greet him.
These people didn't greet him, so Liu Xiaoyuan didn't go up to talk to them. Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at these cultivators; there were cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining and cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.
After waiting for a while, another cultivator flew over. This cultivator was a fat man and also a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. After arriving, the fat man greeted everyone and introduced himself.
As a result, the cultivators ignored the fat man, but the fat man, being thick-skinned, didn't mind.
Finally, the fat man walked up to Liu Xiaoyuan and said with a smile, "Brother, hello there, my name is Jia Youdao."
Since the other person had taken the initiative to greet him, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't very well give them a cold look, so he smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Xiaoyuan."
When Jia Youdao saw that Liu Xiaoyuan was not as aloof as the other cultivators, he immediately started chatting with Liu Xiaoyuan with a smile.
“Brother, I heard there are some good things in this tomb. If we join forces, we can get them. What do you think?” Jia Youdao said with a smile. “Look, there are Foundation Establishment cultivators over there. If we don’t join forces, we can forget about getting anything.”
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the cultivators over there. Indeed, as Jia Youdao had said, if the Qi Refining stage cultivators didn't join forces, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would probably snatch everything away.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan is not an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator. Liu Xiaoyuan has a god-level invincible system. When he summons a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he can still dominate the battlefield.
Therefore, when asked about the collaboration proposed by Jia Youdao, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "I prefer to be alone."
Jia Youdao persisted, continuing to work on Liu Xiaoyuan's mindset, saying, "Brother, your thinking is dangerous. No matter how strong an individual is, it can't compare to the strength of a team."
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Jia Youdao and asked, "You're a teacher, right? And you teach political ideology, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Youdao looked at Liu Xiaoyuan in surprise and said, "Brother, how did you know? Do you have a relative who studied under me?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I guessed that none of my relatives have studied here."
Upon hearing this, Jia Youdao said, "Brother, your ability to guess so accurately is quite impressive. Brother, consider my suggestion again. Let's join forces; that way, we can unleash our full fighting power."
"There's a song that goes, 'Unity is strength,' so we must unite."
Hearing Jia Youdao babbling on and on, Liu Xiaoyuan felt like his ears were about to fall off. This Jia Youdao was too talkative; Liu Xiaoyuan was truly impressed by him.
"Teacher Jia, let's talk about it when we get there, okay?" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Jia Youdao said, "That's true. The tomb hasn't been opened yet, so it's too early to say anything. Let's wait until we're inside."
"By the way, brother, how did you get this news?" Jia Youdao asked with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I got this news from someone else. What about you?"
Jia Youdao said, "I also heard this news from someone else, but didn't you have any doubts?"
