The room was filled with despair.
The noise inside the house stopped as soon as dawn broke.
The man's clear, pleasant voice murmured softly, "You've been gone for more than half a year, have you missed me?"
His large hand rested on her smooth back, conveying a warm and gentle strength.
As the fatigue of the night gradually dissipated, Chen Yunyun felt refreshed and invigorated. She thought, rather inappropriately, "No wonder the male and female protagonists in novels like to cultivate together."
Seeing that she didn't answer, Rong Yan bit her shoulder.
"hiss--"
"It's scraped, are you a dog?"
The man didn't answer, but instead twirled his fingers around the ends of her soft hair, a faint smile playing on his thin lips.
Chen Yunyun pulled her hair and turned her back to Rong Yan angrily.
After Rong Yan satisfied his temper, he was exceptionally tolerant of her little tantrums. With a long arm, he wrapped Chen Yunyun in his sandalwood-scented embrace once again.
"It's dawn, let's rest for a while."
That scoundrel of a man knows how to rest?
He was so energetic playing cards last night, I thought he was going to play for three days and three nights, which scared Chen Yunyun so much that she quickly surrendered.
The man seemed to have read her mind. "Can't sleep? Then let's continue."
"Hey—wait a minute!"
Of course, refusal was ineffective. The dragon, who only ate meat once every ten thousand years, had been restraining himself out of consideration for her body.
Now that he had the opportunity, Rong Yan naturally wouldn't let it slip by.
It was another drowsy day; Chen Yunyun barely left the house...
"I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted." Chen Yunyun lay on the bed, feeling utterly hopeless.
"The kids have a holiday today, so don't do anything reckless."
After Rong Yan finished dressing, he answered irrelevantly, "Are you hungry?"
Chen Yunyun blinked, too weak to move at all. "Hungry."
Rong Yan left the house in high spirits, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
Chen Yunyun fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. In her hazy state, a thought flashed through her mind: Rong Yan had never cooked before, so would the food he made be edible?
As it turns out, Rong Yan can indeed cook.
only……
The three children, one adult and three children, stared at the strange things on the table, unsure of where to start eating.
Chen Yunyun pointed to the small, bright red fruit at the very edge, "What's this?"
"Vermilion Bird Fruit".
Uh, what a fantastical name, I've never heard of it before.
"Is this edible?"
Rong Yan answered succinctly with just two words, "I can eat it."
The three children and one adult dared not touch the food; it looked like something out of a poisonous mushroom from Yunnan.
It wasn't until Rong Yan explained, "It's a mushroom comparable to a thousand-year-old lingzhi mushroom," that things became clear.
Wow, this is how you replenish nutrients?
Chen Yunyun is not in good health, so she needs to eat more to replenish her body.
Without waiting for Rong Yan to say anything, she stuffed four or five pieces into her mouth.
It tastes sweet and sour, and it's actually quite delicious.
Fearing the children wouldn't like the food, Chen Yunyun went to the kitchen and cooked a few more bowls of pork rib noodles with minced meat sauce.
The two older children were unusually quiet today.
Only Xu Jingsheng ate his meal noisily, like a little pig.
After the meal, Rong Yan took out several neat stacks of RMB and placed them on the table.
Chen Yunyun's eyes widened. It was a banknote! A banknote with a face value of one hundred!
With ochre as the background color, the paper depicts a fleet of sailboats sailing on the water, creating a vivid image.
This pile must be worth tens of thousands. Where did Rong Yan get the money?
"It was stolen."
Chen Yunyun: ?
Robbing money is illegal, so he wouldn't go and rob a bank, would he?!
"I stole it from Rong Yu."
Rong Yu is Rong Yan's younger brother.
Chen Yunyun thought about the man's clothes; they were indeed quite expensive.
"He swindled and cheated people in the port city, and he actually made a fortune from it."
Rong Yan then explained everything in detail. He left because he had sensed the abnormal movement of the seal, and by the time he arrived, Rong Yu had already broken free.
He chased Rong Yu all the way to Hong Kong, only to find that Rong Yu was there indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, and was a con artist targeting wealthy people.
"A lie?"
Rong Yu must have some ability; he wouldn't rely entirely on making things up.
“The spiritual energy is scarce now, so he can’t cultivate. He uses spiritual power sparingly, so most of the time he’s just lying. Even if he really encounters something big, he has a bunch of magical artifacts on him, so he can handle it.”
So, this kid really did make a name for himself over there.
The two fought in Hong Kong, and it was Rong Yu who used dirty tricks to make him lose consciousness.
Actually, he wasn't unconscious. What Rong Yu left behind were magical artifacts and spiritual weapons that had been stored for tens of thousands of years.
Inside was a Yin-Yang mirror, which his biological mother had left specifically to deal with him, thus plunging him into a hazy illusion.
In the outside world, he only slept for half a year, but in reality, he stayed in the illusion for a full hundred years.
In the illusion, history repeats itself over and over again.
His own mother, wielding a soul-capturing whip, beat him until his skin was torn and bleeding.
It was also his own mother who pulled out his dragon tendons and cut off his dragon horns.
The ocean abyss was endless and pitch black. Only one incredibly stupid golden koi carp...
Thinking of this, Rong Yan came back to his senses and met Chen Yunyun's clear and bright eyes.
His cool and aloof features, like snow melting in early spring, were tinged with warmth, leaving Chen Yunyun somewhat bewildered.
