Volume 2 Chapter 53: Manju Shahua

  Under the operation of the heart method, the spiritual energy in the space all gathered towards Yun Qingran. The cinnabar on her forehead, which was originally faint and obscure, slowly turned blood red, as if it would drip down at any moment. The cinnabar gradually grew larger, growing into a small flower bud. As the operation of the heart method accelerated, the flower bud opened petal by petal, and a charming peony-like flower bloomed on her forehead, its red color seeming to burn like flames.

  Ye Ningxuan's gaze was fixed on Yun Qingran, and when changes began to appear on her forehead, he couldn't even bear to blink. As he watched her transform from an otherworldly immortal to a bewitching beauty, her unique and captivating aura had the same effect as a nation-toppling, city-collapsing charm that entranced people's hearts.

  The cloud felt that the bottleneck was loosening under the impact, and a slight crack appeared. Feeling almost done, she mobilized her spiritual power to rush towards the crack, and with a crash, like shattering glass, she only felt her body relax, and the fatigue from impacting the bottle neck had completely disappeared.

  As soon as she opened her eyes, Yun Qingran saw a pair of concerned eyes. Ye Ningxuan was also sitting cross-legged in front of Yun Qingran at this time, staring at her without blinking, watching the moment she opened her eyes.

  "I've made a breakthrough, I'll go take a bath first." After saying that, Yun Qingran jumped up from the bed and rushed towards the bathroom.

  This was Yun Qingran's first time in Chen Jie's space. From the bottom up, the entire small villa had a similar layout to Yun Qingran's, but with more of his ruggedness and less elegance. The rooftop garden only had a few orchids, the rest were green lawns. A white jade stone table was in the center, and in the corner, a double-person bamboo woven rocking chair stood quietly.

  Looking out from the rooftop, the entire space is much larger than the clouds, and the whole villa is on the middle of the mountain. Behind it is a lush forest, at the foot of the mountain is a huge blue lake, with green willows swaying along the shore, reflected in the clear lake water. Next to the villa is a small stream flowing down from the top of the mountain, pouring into the lake, and on the other side of the lake, a gentle stream flows slowly, where colorful fish can be seen swimming.

  "What's this place called?" Yun Qingran asked, gazing at the fish playing in the distance.

  Yening Xuan bent down, embracing Yun Qing in his arms, and replied in a muffled tone: "Si Yun Ju." In those past days, he was either cultivating or standing on the rooftop, imagining her running around here, playing here, and watching the sunrise and sunset with him.

  Yun Qingran patted Ye Ningxuan's back with a gentle smile, and they just quietly hugged each other, enjoying the peaceful and beautiful time. After a while, Ye Ningxuan finally let go of Yun Qingran, but he held her hand tightly: "Let's go, I'll take you to see other places." He then took Yun Qingran to the central jade stone platform.

  Looking at the completely identical platform, if Ye Ningxuan wasn't by her side right now, she would have thought she had returned to her own Xingjie. Following the doors around her one by one, except for the name on one of the doors being different, all the other doors were exactly the same in both name and order. Yun Qingran also roughly followed Ye Ningxuan's gaze, and when she saw Bai Shou Lin, Yun Qingran suddenly remembered Qiuqiu.

  "Do you have a contract beast?" Yun Qingran asked.

  Ye Ning Xuan looked at Yun Qing Ran strangely: "No. Chen said that my current strength is not enough, the divine beasts here are very strong. Have you already made a contract?"

  "En." Yun nodded lightly: "At that time, the egg was in the light pillar in the middle of this place. Xing made a contract with me. When it was just born, it said it was a super divine beast, but it was too young and didn't have any memory inheritance, so it didn't know what it was either. However, as a pet, it's not bad, it looks very cute."

  "That's not bad, there's a little something that will make you happy." Ye Ningxuan said with a smile. Seeing Yun Qingran glare at him with an unhappy expression, he laughed even harder, his charming fox eyes narrowing into a seductive arc, and his ambiguous expression said: "Let's go, we're going out. It's so late, it's time to sleep."

  Staring blankly at the clouds outside Ye Ningxuan's window, Yun Qing suddenly came to her senses with his next words, her cheeks slightly flushed as she thought to herself: This guy seems even more demonic than before. His usual elegant and calm demeanor had all become a facade in front of her, turning into a rascal instead. She was only 15 years old now, but she wasn't afraid of being called a pedophile.

  "What are you doing?" As soon as the two of them came out, Ye Ningxuan quickly snuggled into Yun Qingran's quilt.

  "Sleepy!" Ye Ningxuan smiled brightly, her white fingers beckoning Yun Qingran with a gentle hook, her eyes fluttering, her voice enchantingly seductive: "Come sleep quickly, we still have to go out tomorrow!"

  Yun Qingran's mouth twitched slightly, was this the legendary seduction?

  "Who taught you to speak like that?" Yun Qingran's face turned black as he rushed up and grabbed Ye Ningxuan's collar. This demon is getting more and more demonic, how come I've never seen him behave so shamelessly before?

  Yening Xuan stretched out his long arm and scooped up the cloud that had been automatically sent over, holding it tightly in his arms. He laughed like a sly fox, no, a fox spirit, and took a big bite of her face, smiling smugly: "This is all self-taught, if I didn't do this, how would you have automatically delivered yourself to my doorstep?"

  Yun Qingran's anger was triggered, and she bit down hard on his collarbone.

  "Goodnight, sleep tight." Ye Ningxuan gently patted Yun Qingran's back and closed his eyes to sleep in each other's arms.

  In the morning, when the two of them woke up, it was almost ten o'clock. Ye Ningxuan returned to his room to wash up, and Yun Qingran quickly washed up and changed her clothes. As soon as she went out, she saw Ye Ningxuan leaning against the door waiting for her.

  "Let's go." He naturally took Cloud Light's hand and they walked downstairs together.

  Downstairs, Chen Cheng was reading the newspaper on the sofa, while Yun Xi brought out breakfast and put it on the table. After dinner last night, Old Man Yun and Old Lady Yun went back home, so now there were only four of them in the house.

  "Good morning, Uncle and Aunt!" After walking down the last step of the stairs and standing still, Ye Ningxuan finally greeted them.

  Chen Chen smiled slyly and pointed at the clock on the wall: "It's late, if you get up any later, it'll be time for lunch."

  "Look at how you're talking, kid. It's okay to sleep in occasionally." Yun Xi gave Chen Chen a glance, "Xiao Xuan, Ran Ran, come and have breakfast quickly, we'll leave after eating."

  Yun Qingran smiled secretly and pinched the small white hand heavily, then immediately restrained her smile and looked at Yun Xi and Chen Chen with a serious face: "Good morning, Dad and Mom."

  Ye Ningxuan smiled slightly, her smile different from the enchanting one last night, carrying a warm feeling like spring breeze. She pulled Yun Qingran to sit down beside her, and with practiced movements, she first poured a bowl of soy milk for her, then selected several pastries that Yun Qingran liked and placed them on a small plate in front of her. Only after serving Yun Xi and Chen Chen did she serve herself.

  Yun Xi and Chen Chen looked at Ye Ning Xuan's movements, smiled in agreement, what a sensible and polite child.

  Before departure, Yun Xi called Shen Qin first, then Chen Chen drove to send the three to the agreed meeting point, and then went to work. Soon, Shen Qin and Ye Qingyu arrived. As soon as Ye Qingyu saw Yun Qinger, she rushed towards her, but missed due to Ye Ningxuan's quick reaction.

  "Welcome, is Miss Yun here to pick up her car?" A salesperson saw several people from afar and enthusiastically came forward. Looking at the few who were dressed exceptionally well, perhaps they were a few more big clients. Even if not, among them was Yun Xi's weight which was sufficient enough, she had already bought two cars before, first building good relations, maybe in the future she would come to buy again or introduce friends to come too.

  Yun Xi nodded: "Yes! But we still need to look at other cars, maybe we'll buy two."

  As soon as she heard this, the salesperson's professional smile almost couldn't be maintained: "Then you take a look around first, I'll go and get someone to bring your car out." After finishing speaking, she hastily left, if not she feared that in front of them she would burst out laughing. She remembered that Yun Xi had bought cars here twice before, each time one of the most expensive ones, presumably this time wouldn't be an exception either. In that case, her commission for this month wouldn't be small either.

  Ren Yunxi and the other two watched as Ye Ningxuan led Yun Qingran to a resting place prepared for clients. The cars here were considered beautiful by today's standards, but for the two of them, they were ugly beyond words, not to mention their interior configurations and performance. Both of them used to be street racing enthusiasts, often sneaking into underground racing tracks together, so they knew a lot about cars.

  Yun Qingran looked at Ye Ningxuan with a smile that was not quite a smile, using her eyes to signal him to look sideways. Ye Ningxuan couldn't help but laugh and gently tapped Yun Qingran's head. With his current abilities, he could naturally sense that someone was staring at him.

  "Please have some water, both of you." At this time, the most beautiful salesgirl was pushed by everyone to walk over with a tray, put the water cups in front of the two, and blushed, smiling: "May I ask what's your name, sir?"

  Ye Ningxuan's smile disappeared as the salesperson approached, reverting to his usual expressionless face. He didn't even give the salesperson a condescending glance. Yun Qingran stood by, secretly amused in her heart, watching the salesperson's facial expressions change from initial shyness to forced smiles. People of this era are still quite simple-minded.

  The shop assistant, ignored by Ye Ningxuan for a while, finally couldn't stand it and awkwardly escaped. Only then did Ye Ningxuan bring up a hint of smile, with a few parts of grievance, looking at Yun Qingran with a bright and melancholic gaze:

  "Bad girl, you're watching your future husband being flirted with and you don't even come to protect me."

  His mouth twitched again, and he lowered his head to sip from the water cup in a disguised manner. It seemed that he was getting more and more fond of being coquettish, which was what they called Peter Pan syndrome. However, she didn't know that her own personality had also undergone great changes; without any mental burdens, her true nature would unknowingly reveal itself when facing people she trusted.

  "Hey, stinky kid! Come check out this car!" Night Clear shouted from afar.

  Ye Ningxuan gathered up the expression on his face and pulled Yun Qingran along as he walked over.

  Sweat! Yun Qingran saw the car next to Ye Qingyu with a glance, and it was unbelievable that such a delicate beauty liked such a rugged off-road vehicle, making her deeply feel once again that people can't be judged by their appearance. Originally, she was still standing between the two cars, and Yun Qingran thought she would choose the sports car next to her.
