Chapter 190 Wonderful

"Is Your Excellency satisfied?" Liu Fang smiled at Yan Nange, though he could tell Yan Nange was satisfied.
"Very good," Yan Nange replied with a smile.
"Your Excellency, these ten girls were selected last night from hundreds of volunteers. They will be your maids from now on. They will also live here. There's also a female steward; she hasn't arrived yet, but she'll probably be here tonight." Liu Fang smiled mysteriously, leaving Yan Nange puzzled.
"These twenty young men are also elites selected from the army last night. They are all very clever, and their loyalty goes without saying. Everyone in Tai Xuan Manor is absolutely loyal to Your Excellency." Liu Fang spoke solemnly. Yan Nange believed him.
"Your subordinates greet Your Excellency!" The thirty young men and women bowed in unison. Since everyone in Tai Xuan Manor was a member of the Xiaoyao Sect, addressing each other as "your subordinates" was perfectly natural.
"Everyone has worked hard from now on. Young men, let's stop using this kneeling ceremony. I've decided to abolish it starting today. We must all stand tall and accomplish great things, no matter who or what we're facing! From now on, let's not be too formal. We're about the same age, so if you don't mind, just call me 'Big Brother.'" Yan Nange said in a deep, resonant voice.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Everyone said yes, and everyone still called him Your Excellency. Although Yan Nange seemed very approachable, everyone's respect for him outweighed any other factors.
Yan Nange knew this wasn't something that could be done overnight; they would get to know each other slowly.
"Mr. Liu, please inform everyone in the manor that the kneeling ceremony is no longer necessary. We'll just use the usual etiquette. There's no need for such a grand ceremony. What we need is true unity and a shared goal. We don't need superficial things. Besides, we're all equal, just in different positions." Yan Nange said with a smile to the stunned Liu Fang. He knew his words were somewhat shocking, but this was his true thought.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will make sure everyone knows of your benevolent intentions before you return." Liu Fang was increasingly unable to understand this Your Majesty. His thoughts were unlike anything he had ever heard of, yet they also made him ponder deeply. He truly couldn't help but admire this young Your Majesty.
"Come, Xianxian. Let your brother carry you out of the car." Yan Nange opened his arms, waiting for the beauty to embrace him.
"Brother, you're so kind." Xianlan kissed Yan Nange's face, put on her veil, and was lifted up by Yan Nange. She wasn't wearing shoes, so Yan Nange had to carry her. Actually, both of them had a desire to be close to each other, and this was exactly what they wanted. Xianlan wrapped herself up tightly in her cloak; she only wanted her husband to appreciate her beauty, and no one else was allowed to see her.
"This is my wife; she's a little delicate." Yan Nange looked at the astonished crowd, except for Ouyang Lanye, and smiled gently. He walked towards the villa.
"..."
"..."
The crowd realized what was happening, and several young girls hurriedly followed, opening the door and leading the way for Yan Nange.
"The mistress is so beautiful. I wonder how beautiful she is when she takes off her veil. She's so lucky," the girls murmured, admiring and envious, before entering the villa.
The young men had never seen such an extraordinary beauty. However, they didn't dare to think too much about it, because it was the mistress. Everyone consciously returned to their assigned areas.
Liu Fang was also astonished by the sudden appearance of the mistress's beauty. Although he couldn't see her face, he could still sense her stunning beauty. "I admire her! She went to the market and not only bought so many rough men, but also brought back a beautiful wife. The Lord is indeed extraordinary." Liu Fang sighed and went to convey Yan Nange's orders. He didn't need to worry about moving; there were plenty of young men here. He didn't want to nag anyone.
The villa was large, with many rooms; it could probably accommodate hundreds of people. Yan Nange, carrying Xianlan, entered a room on the second floor, led by two pretty and cute girls. The two girls tactfully closed the door and left. The spacious living room was carpeted with thick rugs, and the decor was simple and elegant, mostly in light colors. It looked bright and pure. Yan Nange kicked off his shoes in the entrance hall and stepped onto the soft beige carpet in his white socks.
The two sat on a genuine leather sofa, a type of sofa that had been introduced from the Fengyun Continent in recent years. Yan Nange had seen it in a furniture store before; it was expensive, and the people of Anguo probably weren't used to such bulky things, preferring chairs and couches. However, Yan Nange really liked the sofa; it was so comfortable. Leaning against the sofa and holding a beautiful woman was definitely a heavenly experience.
"Xianxian, do you like it?" Yan Nange looked at the amazed little beauty in his arms and removed her veil. Xianlan obediently let him remove it; in fact, she was going to do the same thing—they were truly in sync.
"I like it. It's so beautiful here. The whole house is so big; Xianxian has never seen such a beautiful house before," Xianlan murmured, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a dreamlike light as she looked at Yan Nange.
"This will be our home from now on, and it will belong to our precious Xianxian. It's all yours, including me." Yan Nange smiled as he spoke sweet words to the beauty in his arms, and it was indeed the truth.
"Brother... Brother, you're so good to Xianxian! Xianxian is yours too... Now she is..." Xianlan's voice grew softer and her face redder, her eyes gazing at Yan Nange with watery eyes, clearly a captivating sight, ready to be plucked.
"Little vixen, watch me devour you." Yan Nange, feigning a charming demeanor, lewdly kissed Xianlan's bright red lips. Xianlan
closed her beautiful eyes, their lips and tongues passionately entwined.
After a long while, they separated, Xianlan panting softly as she nestled in Yan Nange's arms, her skin a flushed pink with excitement. If Yan Nange hadn't stopped, she probably wouldn't have been able to control herself. Even now, her beautiful eyes were still watery and somewhat hazy as she looked at Yan Nange, and Yan Nange could see the boundless passion contained within them. Yan Nange hadn't expected Xianlan to be so indulgent, already preparing for him. What a silly little girl; once she falls for you, she wants to give you everything. But Yan Nange cherished this adorable little beauty even more. Xianlan and Xiangxiang were completely different types, giving Yan Nange a new perspective.
"Who taught my precious Xianxian? You're absolutely irresistible!" Yan Nange teased Xianlan with a smile. "I'm not
irresistible! Xianxian just likes brother!" Xianlan said sweetly.
"Tell brother who taught my darling to be so charming, driving brother crazy!" Yan Nange couldn't help but bite Xianlan's little hand. (

Yan Nange ultimately controlled himself. Firstly, he had to move that afternoon, and secondly, he didn't want her yet. Things had moved too quickly; he should wait a few more days. This intimate relationship was warm enough; it didn't necessarily have to be *that*.
After lulling Xianlan to sleep and tucking her in, Yan Nange kissed her beautiful little face. Xianlan was exhausted; she hadn't had a proper night's sleep in a long time. Now, she slept soundly with a sweet smile, and Yan Nange felt incredibly happy. This was even more enjoyable for Yan Nange than being intimate with her. Seeing his beloved woman sleeping peacefully and contentedly because of his presence was undoubtedly the most vivid praise he could receive. Yan Nange quietly left the spacious bedroom and walked downstairs with a smile.
"What's your name?" Yan Nange saw a beautiful and pure-looking girl standing at the top of the stairs, probably waiting for his orders.
"This subordinate is Qiu Meier," the girl said generously, her beautiful eyes with long, curled eyelashes looking serenely at Yan Nange.
"A beautiful name, just like the person. I'll call you Mei'er, you can call me Big Brother or Brother Yan, it's fine. Where are the others?" Yan Nange noticed that only Mei'er was there.
"They've gone to prepare lunch and clean the rooms. Then Mei'er will call you Brother, since Mei'er doesn't have a brother." Mei'er's expression was still so serene, making Yan Nange feel very comfortable. Mei'er's voice was also very pleasant, clear and pure, reminiscent of a clear stream flowing. Yan Nange felt that Mei'er was very special. Not only was she not shy or flustered like ordinary women when talking to him, but she was always so serene and at ease, making Yan Nange feel that her world was always peaceful and beautiful, and all the noise and chaos could not affect her. Yan Nange liked the feeling of being relaxed and natural, and the feeling of talking to Mei'er was very relaxed and natural.
Mei'er must not be an ordinary girl. He should have more opportunities to chat with her in the future. He had never met a girl who made him feel so peaceful. Lingxi was ethereal, yet when she was with him, she possessed a captivating charm that made him want only to cherish her. Otherwise, Lingxi must have been this kind of woman. It was a pity she wasn't by his side. Yan Nange felt a pang of sorrow in his heart;
he truly missed Lingxi and Xiangxiang. "I won't have lunch here. Mei'er, you'll stay with Xianxian from now on. She's asleep now. If she wakes up, talk to her and help her relax. Okay?" Yan Nange said gently. He felt very peaceful when he was with Mei'er. It wasn't the same as being calm.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll protect sister-in-law. Are you leaving the city?" Mei'er asked, her voice serene.
"Brother is going back to Mingyue City to move. I'll be moving here this afternoon," Yan Nange said with a smile.
"Then brother should call a few more guards."
"No need. It's not really moving; I only need to take the essentials. The rest can be left there for emergencies. Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mei'er. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back." Yan Nange knew that girls liked snacks and treats.
"Thank you, brother. Have a safe journey." Mei'er smiled, a sweet smile.
Yan Nange smiled and walked out of the villa.
Yan Nange and Ouyang Lanye used their lightness skills to leave Tai Xuan Manor. Yan Nange found the defenses here very tight, with visible sentries and hidden stakeouts forming a complete protective line. If it weren't for his skills, he believed he wouldn't have been able to get in. Yan Nange had even more respect for the two leaders, Li Tenglong and Zhang Yuehu; they were indeed people with real skills.
Using their lightness skills, they were many times faster than a carriage. Under Yan Nange's deliberate guidance, Ouyang Lanye also grasped some of the subtleties of breathing and movement. Before they knew it, Mingyue City was in sight.
Yan Nange pulled Ouyang Lanye along, and they flew over the high city walls like a gentle breeze. When they were almost home, the two found a secluded place to stop and resumed walking. They still needed to buy three large carriages to transport Mengmou Qianqian and the others, as well as some necessary items.
Not far from their home was a carriage shop, and Yan Nange and Ouyang Lanye bought three large carriages, the kind that could carry more than a dozen people.
Ouyang Lanye drove one, and Yan Nange drove two—the reins of the last carriage were tied to the back. The two drove the carriages into the wide alley.
After tying the horses up, they pushed their way in. To be honest, the high wall was not something an ordinary person could climb over. Ouyang Lanye always needed Yan Nange to pull him across. This was also why Yan Nange bought this place—it was very safe.
The weather was particularly nice today, and several girls were basking in the sun, drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard. Mengmou and the other two beauties had also gotten up. The girls were laughing and chatting happily, their clear, sweet laughter ringing out from time to time.
Seeing their happy and harmonious appearance, Yan Nange couldn't help but smile. The scene was so warm and happy that Yan Nange didn't want to disturb them.
Qianqian's skill was the highest among them—she was the only one who knew some martial arts. Hearing Yan Nange and Ouyang Lanye's footsteps, she smiled sweetly at Yan Nange and ran to throw herself into his arms. This time, she beat Rou'er to it, startling the other women. They then realized that Yan Nange and Ouyang Lanye had returned. They all knew that Yan Nange and Ouyang Lanye had become sworn brothers, and in fact, they all liked their little brother Ouyang Lanye very much—the kind of affection older sisters have for younger brothers. He was still a minor!
After embracing for a while, Yan Nange and Lanye returned to the group of women, and Qianqian sat on Yan Nange's lap.
Yan Nange drank a few sips of tea poured by Xiaoyin, held Qianqian's small hand, and sighed contentedly. Looking at the women still chatting, and then at the beautiful woman in his arms, Yan Nange felt only one word: happiness! There was nothing he could do; how could he be so happy? It was fate's arrangement; no one could change it.
After sitting for a while, Xiaoyin and Xiaomeng got up to prepare lunch. The girls continued chatting.
"I have some good news for you all: we're moving! Our new home is dozens of times bigger than this one, and it's beautiful and safe. There are streams, lawns, flowers, and green trees—it's breathtaking. Do you want to move?" Yan Nange smiled as he watched the girls' expressions change from surprise to joy.
"That's great! Is it really as beautiful as you say, brother?" Rou'er asked excitedly.
"You'll see when you get there. I bet you'll love it. And, hehe, there'll be a beautiful woman and a group of pretty girls with you there—it'll be very lively." Yan Nange was still a little guilty as he said this. He had revealed his wife too quickly; he could hardly accept it himself, let alone Mengmou and Qianqian. But he had to tell them in advance, otherwise the surprise of moving to a new home would turn into resentment.

"Brother, aren't you moving too fast? Why are you bringing them home in such large groups?" Mengmou complained.
Rou'er and Qianqian also looked at Yan Nange with resentment, and Lan Yu's expression also held a hint of resentment.
"Hmm!" Yan Nange cleared his throat awkwardly. It seemed this misunderstanding was quite serious, and he needed to explain properly.
At this moment, the expression on Yan Nange's handsome face was classic, making people laugh.
Sure enough, the women chuckled at his extremely embarrassed expression, then quickly turned cold again. Several pairs of beautiful eyes stared at Yan Nange with resentment, silently accusing him of his misdeeds.
"Hmm! My wives, you've misunderstood. Only one beautiful woman is mine, and the rest of the beauties are my subordinates and maids. Not a group, but just one." Yan Nange looked at them pitifully.
The three women's expressions softened somewhat, while Lan Yu's face flushed red from Yan Nange's address of her as "my wives." Ouyang Lanye, the eavesdropper, had already slipped away.
"It's like this. Her name is Xian Lan. I met her today at the slave market; she was being auctioned off. I felt sorry for her and bought her, intending to give her freedom. But on my way back to Tai Xuan Manor, I discovered she has a constitution that leads to early death. If she can't mate with a man with a similar constitution, she won't live past twenty-one. I need to save her as quickly as possible; after this year, she'll be eighteen, and I won't be able to help her. So, to save her life, I decided to take her in. That's it." Yan Nange was no longer the imposing figure he once was; he was now feigning pitifulness, all to gain the forgiveness of his three beloved beauties.
Sweeping the world is easy, sweeping a house is difficult! Because here, force is out of the question; only small schemes can be used. Using grand schemes would escalate small mistakes into major conflicts. Being a man is easy, being a passionate man is not!
"Alright, I know my brother is a good boy. Let's not scare him anymore." Qianqian kissed Yan Nange's face and smiled at the two girls.
Mengmou and Rou'er's faces immediately lit up with smiles, as if their previous resentful expressions had vanished completely. Lan Yu covered her mouth and giggled incessantly. Yan Nange glanced at the three of them, then at Qianqian's smiling gaze, and suddenly realized it was a conspiracy; he had been tricked. However, this also put him at ease. He should have known they wouldn't object, but he couldn't deny his own feelings. Who would want their husband shared by so many people? Yan Nange knew he had to treat them even better in the future, otherwise, the resentful situation from before might truly recur.
"My three ladies, I will definitely pay attention to this in the future, please rest assured. Also, each of you holds an unbreakable place in my heart, so you must know that your brother will only love you more and more, and treat you well. I will definitely make you happy forever," Yan Nange said solemnly and affectionately, looking deeply into the eyes of the three women.
"Brother, you're so good!" the three beauties exclaimed, moved, hugging Yan Nange tightly and showering him with passionate kisses. Upon seeing the passionate scene, Ouyang Lanyu hurriedly ran away, wondering what would happen next!
After the four finished their intimacy, they began packing their belongings. They decided not to move the furniture, as there was already plenty in the Lord's mansion, and there was no place to put it. They decided to take only clothes, bedding, the leather suitcases brought back by Jiuyou, and the things Yan Nange had brought back from the Ice and Fire Cave. This was quite a lot; it could probably fill two carriages.
Yan Nange also had an important matter to attend to: returning to the old house to retrieve the "Gaze of Concentration" gems, the mysterious gemstone pillar, and some black stone ore. These were priceless treasures; even a small portion would be enough to astound the entire Golden Stone Continent and even the Wind and Cloud Continent, and could be exchanged for countless astonishing fortunes. Yan Nange wanted to ensure they were in a safe place. They
quickly returned to the old house; it had been almost a year since they last came back. Time flew by, and so much had changed. A year ago, he was just a slave, but now he possessed divine skills, profound knowledge, a harem of beautiful wives, and a vast retinue of subordinates, having built his own power. One has to admit, fate is unpredictable! Heh heh! But he enjoyed this kind of twist of fate; let it come even more fiercely!
Yan Nange took out the treasure from the cellar, wrapped it in a large bundle he had prepared, looked around the house, locked the door, and left.
Navigating the alleys and lanes, Yan Nange quickly returned home. Everyone had already packed their things and was preparing to load them onto the cart after lunch.
They ate lunch happily, the women constantly asking about their new home. After answering a few questions, Yan Nange told them to see for themselves when they arrived, saying that telling them everything would be boring. The women all gave him a coquettish snort. They then started asking Lan Ye, who, of course, evaded the question, which only fueled their curiosity. They couldn't wait to fly over and see just how beautiful their new home was. This was exactly the effect Yan Nange wanted.
After finishing their meal, they started loading things onto the carriages. Yan Nange and Lan Ye were naturally the main load-bearers, taking care of the large and medium-sized items, while the women carried the lighter and smaller ones. About an hour later, everything that needed to be moved was on the carriages. The group looked around again and
, finding nothing else to take, locked the gate and the courtyard. Although they liked this place very much, it wasn't very free. They hadn't even left the courtyard, fearing something might happen because it was so beautiful. Moving to their new home would be different. Yan Nange had told them it was incredibly beautiful, very large, and extremely safe, where they could travel freely. Naturally, they completely disregarded this place, wanting only to go to their new home to relax and unwind.
Freedom, truly, is irreplaceable.
Yan Nange's two carriages led the way, with Lan Ye's carriage following behind, as they leisurely exited the west gate of Mingyue City. Before leaving the city, Yan Nange bought a lot of snacks and fruits. The six girls all loved snacks, and Yan Nange had promised Mei'er to bring them some.
Because everything had been peaceful, no one questioned them when they left the city.
Inside the carriage, the six girls chattered incessantly like little birds, overjoyed at the occasional glimpses of green outside. Xue'er and Shuang'er, however, were also tormented by their happiness, letting out loud "howls." Unfortunately, their protests were drowned out by their joyful laughter and received no attention.

Chapter 193 Happiness
: 10-21 10:18:24 Words: 2955

Yan Nange drove the carriage, a job he had just learned and found quite interesting. Lan Ye, on the other hand, was an expert; he had already mastered the task on the way back to Tai Xuan Manor from the slave market. It's true what they say, smart people are smart; they learn and do things better than others.
Listening to the bursts of happy laughter and delighted sighs from the six women in the carriage, Yan Nange knew that the past few months had truly been difficult for them. People need freedom, and young women like them especially need the air of freedom and the joy of adventure; otherwise, they would eventually succumb.
Love is important, but freedom cannot be replaced by love. Yan Nange was delighted that they would soon have a free life, allowing them to fly freely like birds and leap happily like deer. Tai Xuan Manor was not the whole world, but it was enough for them to roam freely.
"Giddy up!" Yan Nange happily cracked the whip, and the horse began to trot. The six women cheered from inside the carriage.
Ouyang Lanye also smiled and cracked the whip, making the horse run, eliciting another round of cheers from the six women. The clear, melodious laughter, like the tinkling of silver bells, echoed through the vast mountains and fields, startling countless birds into flight towards the azure sky.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air as the two wheels rolled forward, the three-horse carriage swaying slightly—a truly romantic journey.
As soon as Yan Nange's carriage arrived, the city guards opened the city gates and stood on both sides to welcome him.
"Congratulations on your new home, Your Excellency!" the soldiers shouted in unison as Yan Nange's carriage reached the city gate.
"Brothers, you've all worked hard. Thank you for your blessings! I'll treat you all to drinks after the changing of the guard. Haha!" Yan Nange got out of the carriage, leading his horse as he walked, laughing heartily as he spoke.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" the soldiers bowed in thanks, no longer kneeling as before.
"Haha!" Yan Nange laughed as he got into the carriage. Seeing the young soldiers and the vast estate, he could only laugh heartily.
"Brother! Is this estate really ours?" Qianqian lifted the curtain and looked at the incredibly vast estate with surprise, finding it hard to believe that such a large estate existed.
"You could say this place is under my control, but it belongs to everyone. Haha!" Yan Nange said with a laugh. This place could indeed be considered his, but it also belonged to everyone collectively. Each person was a master of this manor; they had built it up to its current state through years of hard work and wisdom. He wouldn't take it all for personal gain. However, absolute control remained in his hands.
"Great, sisters! This is our home from now on! It's wonderful!" Qianqian exclaimed happily, shrinking back into the carriage.
The women erupted in wild cheers, their joyful shouts and laughter echoing across the field. Yan Nange had never seen them so happy before. He knew how right it was to come here. Because of this decision, their lives would never be the same again, they would step onto a broader stage of life, and their lives would become more exciting.
Upon entering Tongtian Fortress, soldiers opened the city gates and lined up to welcome them. It seemed they already knew Yan Nange had moved. Each soldier looked overjoyed. However, none of them asked to drive the carriage for Yan Nange, because this was against discipline and no one could violate it; otherwise, they would be punished according to military law.
Yan Nange still invited them to drink after their shift change. He knew there was a large tavern in the fortress, enough to entertain these dozens of people. He planned to treat the soldiers to drinks there that evening to build rapport. He needed to gradually get to know everyone better and communicate with them more effectively. As a leader, one must maintain a balance between mystery and approachability; striking the right balance is key to success.
Amidst the exclamations and cheers of the six women in the carriage, Yan Nange and his group crossed the beautiful square and sped along the main road towards the Lord's Mansion.
After traversing the wide stone path leading directly to the mansion, they reached a high red wall and two large, open vermilion gates. Beyond the wall stretched vast green fields, and further on, forests and mountains. It was truly a picturesque place.
"Congratulations on your new home, Lord!" two guards, already waiting there, called out in unison as Yan Nange arrived at the gate.
"You two have worked hard. I'll add some dishes for you tonight. Hehe!" Yan Nange said with a smile to the two young men. They were relatively young, and the security of the entire Lord's Mansion depended on them, unlike the city guards outside who were numerous. Besides, Yan Nange invited them to drink only to create a lively atmosphere and deepen their conversation; he wouldn't be foolish enough to drink them under the table.
Drinking is the easiest way to make mistakes, but it's also a good way to communicate. This was Yan Nange's summary of history. Yan Nange liked to summarize history; the valuable lessons left by history were powerful guides for today, but they had to be applied flexibly.
Inside the inner courtyard, two soldiers were waiting. Yan Nange repeated his old words. The two men happily went to the inner courtyard.
The guards of the Lord's Mansion were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. Yan Nange later learned that Liu Fang and the others had set this rule after learning that Yan Nange had a family and that the inner courtyard was full of young and beautiful girls.
This was to prevent them from getting into fights over love. Once such a problem arose, the consequences would be unpredictable. They were there to protect the Lord's mansion, not to indulge in pleasure. So Yan Nange was puzzled that the guards hadn't offered to help him move his things, assuming it was their rule.
After setting this rule, Liu Fang and the others wondered what to do with heavy loads. Then they thought the Lord wouldn't be carrying anything too heavy, and besides, the ten young girls were all skilled in martial arts; moving things shouldn't be a problem. So they didn't bother Yan Nange anymore.
It was quite a strange thing—a leader with thousands of subordinates moving things himself. But this also showed the difference between Tai Xuan Manor and the outside world. Its system wasn't corrupt, it didn't focus on appearances, and it emphasized practical substance. There was no sycophancy; everyone adhered to their duties. This was definitely a good thing for an army, a good thing for a gang, and quite rare indeed.
Yan Nange was pleased that everyone stopped kneeling before him and stayed at their posts. He liked this kind of team. Tai Xuan Manor was truly a treasure left to him by his master, and the Xiaoyao disciples were an invaluable source of strength. This would be an incredibly powerful boost to his future career. Yan Nange secretly thanked his master, but also missed him, wondering where he had gone. (

, 10-21 10:18:25, 3333 words)

Eleven beautiful girls stood in front of the villa to greet Yan Nange—no, it should be twelve, with a cute little girl standing beside them. It turned out to be Xiao Jiaojiao, the little beauty. Jiaojiao's little hand was holding the hand of a graceful girl in white, looking very intimate. Who was this beauty? Yan Nange wondered to himself as he alighted from the carriage.
"Congratulations on your housewarming, Your Excellency!" the women exclaimed in unison.
"Everyone..."
"Brother!" A sweet, childish voice interrupted Yan Nange's words, and a pair of small arms hugged his legs.
"My darling Jiaojiao, don't cry, or you won't be pretty anymore. Big brother will give you something delicious to eat later!" Yan Nange picked up Jiaojiao and gently coaxed her. The little beauty looked at him with teary eyes, perhaps protesting Yan Nange's indifference.
"Wow! What a pretty little sister!" Mengmou and the others got out of the car, excitedly surrounding Yan Nange to see Jiaojiao, this adorable little girl.
Jiaojiao, suddenly seeing so many beautiful older sisters like her mother, widened her beautiful, teary eyes in surprise, her mouth forming a surprised circle.
"So cute!" Qianqian and the others exclaimed happily, reaching out to touch Jiaojiao's pretty little face and cute little hands.
This time, Jiaojiao didn't stop others from touching her as usual, but looked at the three beautiful older sisters with amazement. She had never seen so many beautiful older sisters before.
The welcoming girls, Xiaoyin, Xiaomeng, and Lanyu all spontaneously helped Ouyang Lanye carry his things.
Yan Nange saw the beautiful girl holding Jiao Jiao's small hand directing the maids as they moved things. The maids obeyed her commands obediently, and Yan Nange's calm and composed demeanor, with its sparkling eyes, truly gave her an air of authority. Yan Nange guessed this girl was her steward. She just didn't know the relationship between her and Jiao Jiao.
Yan Nange was very interested in this woman because of her leadership qualities.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the items have been moved and put away. Is there anything else Your Majesty requires?" the girl in white asked Yan Nange. Her expression was calm and composed, her beautiful eyes shimmering with intelligence. What an elegant and refined woman! Yan Nange was certain she was intelligent; it was evident in her eyes and her demeanor.
"Nothing else. Everyone has worked hard," Yan Nange said with a smile.
"This is what I should do. I am Xiao Ruo, and from now on I will be the steward of the Lord's Mansion. If the Lord has any instructions or requests, please tell me, and I will certainly handle them for you." Xiao Ruo remained calm, but Yan Nange noticed a fleeting hint of melancholy in her eyes.
Yan Nange had already met two extraordinary women that day: Qiu Meier and this Xiao Ruo. Both gave her a sense of security. Could this be fate and the arrangement of heaven? What kind of story would unfold between her and them? Yan Nange couldn't help but have some wild thoughts. She should try to get to know them better; they possessed something she lacked, and Xiao Ruo seemed to have a story to tell.
"Mommy, why are you being so polite with brother?" Jiao Jiao looked at Xiao Ruo and Yan Nange curiously, asking in her childish voice. This question was quite beyond her years.
Yan Nange's heart skipped a beat; something felt wrong. She felt a pang of disappointment; this girl was already taken. However, his expression only changed briefly before returning to normal. There are probably countless beautiful women in the world; not every woman needs to revolve around you. Beautiful things are best admired from afar; must you possess them to appreciate their beauty? Perhaps possessing them would mean losing that beauty altogether.
"Jiaojiao, you'll have to ask your mother. Your brother didn't ask her to be so polite." Yan Nange smiled, looking at the adorable little beauty in his arms. Perhaps only a woman like him could have such a clever and adorable child.
"..." Xiao Ruo didn't speak, only her expression dimmed slightly before returning to normal. Xiao Ruo was a clever and intelligent woman. She had actually seen Yan Nange's disappointment when Jiaojiao called her "mother," and also the admiring look in his eyes when he first saw her. But she didn't want to respond, nor did she know how. Her heart had closed itself off since Jiaojiao came into her life. Since this was fate, she accepted it. She believed that no man in this world would ever open her heart again.
Xiao Ruo had always been reluctant to interact with the outside world, despite her ideals and wisdom; she was a renowned "wise woman" in Tai Xuan Manor. She kept herself hidden away in her courtyard, pouring all her wisdom and ideals into Jiao Jiao, making her happy her only wish.
Unfortunately, the absence of a father figure in her family still affected Jiao Jiao's development. Jiao Jiao was too clever and too precocious; a three-year-old child possessed wisdom comparable to an adult. Although she didn't always show it, always appearing mischievous and cheerful, Xiao Ruo sensed her sensitivity and precociousness from the melancholy in her eyes. Perhaps she felt different from others. Jiao Jiao was
so much like herself as a child, but she lacked her childhood cheerfulness. Jiao Jiao wasn't very talkative, although her words were endearing, and she wouldn't let anyone but Xiao Ruo hold her. She rarely cried and didn't laugh much either; she had always been like this. If it weren't for her bright, expressive eyes, people would definitely mistake her for a child with a disability. Later, she simply became mischievous. Xiao Ruo was very worried about this, but didn't know what to do.
But when Jiaojiao came home last night, she seemed very happy. Xiao Ruo rarely saw her daughter so cheerful, so she asked her what had made her so happy. Jiaojiao happily told her that she had met an older brother who was very kind to her, and so on. Xiao Ruo had never seen her daughter so radiant before, nor had she ever seen her so attached to anyone. Because Xiao Ruo rarely went out, she didn't know about the gathering; Jiaojiao had gone out with her aunt.
Xiao Ruo then went to her brother's place. Xiao Song lived very close to her. Their parents had passed away early, and her brother had raised her. Of course, everyone there was kind, and she had never suffered much hardship. She and her brother and sister-in-law had always had a very good relationship. When she arrived, Xiao Song was just about
to leave; it turned out he was going to select some people for the Lord's Mansion. Before Xiao Ruo even asked, Xiao Song knew what she meant; in fact, he had been waiting for her to come. For so many years, his sister had raised Jiaojiao alone. Although she hadn't suffered much materially, how could he, as her brother, not know how much she had suffered in her heart? However, his younger sister didn't want to find a husband and rarely interacted with people. Even Jiao Jiao was different from other children, and he was worried that this couldn't continue.
Today, seeing how much Jiao Jiao liked the Lord, and how much the Lord doted on her, and knowing that the Lord was selecting some staff for the manor, he thought of sending his sister. Perhaps this would be a turning point for her. His wife agreed, but they knew their sister was stubborn and didn't know how to approach her. Just then, she arrived.
Xiao Ruo, after hearing her brother's opinion, also felt it was good for Jiao Jiao. So she agreed to participate in the selection of the steward. Xiao Song immediately said it wasn't necessary; she could take the position directly. Everyone in Taixuan Manor knew about his sister's talent and ability. If it weren't for her self-isolation because of Jiao Jiao, she would have already obtained an important position in the manor. Even now, several managers often regretted that Xiao Ruo wasn't out working.
So today, Xiao Ruo came here. From now on, she would live here and begin her new life.

"Sister Xiao, I think you should call him Brother Yan from now on. But Jiaojiao, you can't call him brother anymore, you should call him uncle, otherwise the generations will be messed up. Hehe!" Mengmou was the oldest among them, and she could see the loneliness, composure, and wisdom in Xiao Ruo's eyes. As a woman, she was certain that this woman had a not-so-pleasant story. Besides, she was definitely single, based on her intuition, and also because she would be living here in the future. If she had a husband, what wife would leave him at home like this?
Mengmou had experienced loneliness herself, so she understood Xiao Ruo's thoughts. She sympathized with her and admired her calm and composed demeanor. She also hoped that her husband could have such a wife, because they lacked someone who could help him. So Mengmou spoke up to create an opportunity.
"Why? Mom calls my brother 'brother,' so can't Jiao Jiao call him 'brother' too? What's the difference? Sometimes I even call Mom 'sister'!" Jiao Jiao asked innocently. She really didn't understand this question.
Xiao Ruo blushed at Jiao Jiao's words. She was only fourteen when Jiao Jiao was born, so she was only seventeen this year. That's why Jiao Jiao sometimes called Xiao Ruo "sister" randomly when she was happy. Xiao Ruo couldn't help but let her be, because people would believe they were sisters, since Xiao Ruo was still quite young. However, the fact that Jiao Jiao called her "sister" was a secret, and no one knew. She didn't expect Jiao Jiao to say it in front of all five of them. Xiao Ruo was naturally a little embarrassed and shy.
"Jiao Jiao is right. We can call him whatever we want. Ruo, you can call him 'brother' from now on." Qianqian was even more efficient and got it straight to the point.
"Yes! Ruo, you can call us 'sister' and him 'brother' from now on. Anyway, we're family from now on." Rou'er got it straight to the point, almost saying it outright.
Actually, all three women liked Xiao Ruo, probably because of her elegant and refined temperament. None of them possessed such a woman, so they felt they should find a wife like her for their brother and a sister like her for themselves. Moreover, they could all see that Xiao Ruo was definitely a capable homemaker, something they weren't very good at. She could help her husband, and they hoped Yan Nange could focus less on the home. Meng Mou and the other two women's judgment was just as accurate as Yan Nange's.
Yan Nange looked at his three wives with a puzzled expression. Were they helping him find a wife? Weren't they afraid that the husband would come after him in a few days? Yan Nange smiled wryly. He didn't have any so-called female intuition, and he didn't want to pursue a married woman. This wasn't a matter of courage or disdain, but a matter of principle and morality. He might be a womanizer, but he hadn't stooped to seducing someone's wife.
"This..." Xiao Ruo's face was still red. After being spoken to by the three beauties, she didn't know what to do. She wasn't the type to be coy, but she was still embarrassed, after all, she had never encountered such a situation before.
"Alright, alright. Stop joking. It wouldn't be good if Jiaojiao's father heard about this," Yan Nange said, trying to ease Xiao Ruo's predicament. His intentions were good, but he shouldn't have touched on such a sore spot.
Xiao Ruo's face suddenly turned deathly pale. Even with her usual composure, she couldn't remain calm about this. She hadn't expected that after all these years, reopening the wound would still cause such pain.
"Master, I'll go see if they've prepared dinner," Xiao Ruo said softly, turning and leaving. A tear fell onto the red ground. Only she saw the tear.
"Silly brother, what nonsense are you talking about!" Meng Mou glared at Yan Nange and chased after Xiao Ruo. She hadn't been wrong after all.
"Hey! Why is brother acting so silly today?" Qianqian and Rou'er sighed and followed Meng Mou into the villa. Only a bewildered Yan Nange remained, staring blankly at them. How could he have been wrong?
"Brother! You're mistaken. Jiaojiao doesn't have a father, only a sister and a mother!" Jiaojiao said earnestly to Yan Nange in her childish voice, then hugged him, pressing her little face against his.
Yan Nange knew he had indeed made a grave mistake this time. He also sensed that Jiaojiao was unhappy when she said that, unsure whether it was because he had said the wrong thing or because she only had a mother and no father.
Yan Nange didn't say anything to Jiaojiao, but simply patted her gently with his large hand before walking into the villa. The sun was already setting, and the fiery red sky was ablaze with color.
Yan Nange invited the soldiers he had promised to treat them to drinks to the Tongtian Restaurant in Tongtian Fortress. He ordered food and wine, drank with them for a few minutes, and offered words of encouragement, which stirred up the crowd. Yan Nange told them not to drink too much, then paid the bill and left. The soldiers watched Yan Nange disappear before marveling at their lord's generosity and approachability and continuing to eat and drink. They naturally wouldn't drink too much; it was a decades-old custom in the manor to only drink until they were seven-tenths drunk. Yan Nange was unaware of this custom; after all, he knew very little about the place and had only been there a short time.
When Yan Nange returned to the lord's manor, it was just getting dark. He first went to the outer courtyard kitchen to have extra dishes prepared for the guards, then chatted with a few guards, offering them some encouragement, before returning to the inner courtyard. A
sumptuous dinner had just been prepared at the lord's manor. Yan Nange hadn't eaten much, only had a few sips of wine, so it was perfect for a delicious meal.
The lord's manor was brightly lit. Xianlan woke up sometime earlier and was happily chatting with Jiaojiao and Mengmou in the hall, their clear, sweet laughter ringing out from time to time. Xiao Ruo was also sitting beside her, whispering with Qianqian, the two exchanging knowing smiles.
The beautiful maids began bringing dishes to the large dining table, which was soon overflowing with food.
At dinner, more than ten beauties, along with Yan Nange, ate together, filling the large table to capacity—a lively scene indeed.
Yan Nange's subordinates and maids were generally quite pampered at home, and besides, Yan Nange and Mengmou weren't used to eating separately; this lively atmosphere made the meal more enjoyable.
"Come, today is our housewarming celebration, and also our first meal together with all of you beautiful ladies. Meeting you is a great blessing, and we must cherish it. From now on, we are family, so please don't be shy. I hope everyone is happy and joyful. For happiness and joy, for a bright future, let's drink to this!" Yan Nange said with a smile. He didn't stand up, but his warm words made everyone feel comfortable and touched. Everyone raised their glasses, even Xiao Jiaojiao held a glass of freshly squeezed juice, and everyone drank it down. Then they cheered softly.
"Ladies and ladies, do you have anything to say?" Yan Nange smiled at the table of beauties, and everyone smiled and shook their heads.
"Then let's begin!" Yan Nange said excitedly, picking up his chopsticks. His expression at that moment was like that of a big boy, which made the women smile. This was quite different from his legendary imposing image. However, this only stirred their maternal instincts. A remarkable man willing to show his childlike side to a woman was a sign of his immense trust and admiration for her. If the female subordinates' initial feelings towards Yan Nange were one of admiration and adoration, now they felt an added layer of pampering and care. This kind of loyalty was the most reliable, because they had come to regard Yan Nange as family. (

Chapter 195: Sudden Enlightenment
, 10-21 10:18:26, 2786 words)

The dinner was lively and enjoyable; none of them had ever eaten with so many people before, and they all found it novel and interesting. Xian Lan and Xiao Ruo, in particular, were extremely happy.
After dinner, the women chatted for a while, while Yan Nange returned to her room alone. She took out the treasures from her large leather trunk and examined them. Under the brilliant lights, the gemstones and gemstone pillars shone with captivating light. Yan Nange looked at them for a while but still couldn't discern the origin of the gemstone pillar. She searched through her memories of books about gemstones, minerals, and legends, but found nothing similar to it, let alone identical. Yan Nange shook her head and put the trunk under the bed.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Yan Nange cultivated his leisurely Qi, a practice he hadn't done properly for several days. He then channeled his spiritual sense to his spiritual abode and saw Leng Xiaozhao meditating with her eyes closed. Xiaozhao, whom he hadn't seen for months, was even more radiant, her beauty more ethereal than before, inspiring awe. A small red lotus flower adorned her fair forehead, gleaming brightly. Yan Nange was certain that Xiaozhao's "Heavenly Fragrance Soul Condensation" had broken through to the sixth level; her aura had improved dramatically since their last meeting.
Yan Nange didn't disturb her, instead extending his spiritual sense to its maximum extent. Everything within a five-mile radius was now clearly visible, though his spiritual sense's range was only half that of his leisurely Qi cultivation. Nevertheless, his power was still increasing.
Yan Nange used his spiritual sense to survey the area around the outer city. Nothing unusual was observed; ten guards patrolled vigilantly between the inner and outer city walls. The remaining guards and internal staff had already retired for the night. Downstairs, a dozen or so beautiful women were chatting in several groups, their laughter punctuated by bursts of cheerful chatter. Little Jiaojiao, Xue'er, and Shuang'er played together, and the two puppies seemed to have taken a liking to her as well, happily chasing and playing with her.
Yan Nange withdrew his divine sense and focused on cultivating. His leisurely aura was still that red-gold color, only more powerful.
"Brother, brother!" It was Xiao Zhao calling out. Yan Nange's divine sense entered his spiritual palace. Now, he was no longer afraid of being distracted while cultivating, a progress he himself hadn't even noticed. In fact, it was somewhat astonishing, because no martial arts master would be unafraid of being disturbed while cultivating, except for him. This alone showed that he was about to reach a height that was difficult for his predecessors to reach.
"Xiao Zhao, your skill has improved again. What level of 'Heavenly Fragrance Soul Condensation' have you reached?" Yan Nange "looked" at the closed-eyed Xiao Zhao with a pilgrimage-like heart. Although her eyes were closed, Yan Nange felt that she was staring at him, a very unique feeling.
"Brother, Xiao Zhao has comprehended the final level, reaching the ninth level, 'Crimson Lotus Heavenly Soul.' I have already cultivated the Heavenly Soul Body. As long as you continue to improve your power in time, I can cultivate the 'True Soul' Body and reshape my body." Xiao Zhao closed her eyes, her expression devoid of joy or sorrow, as if she were talking about someone else's affairs, unrelated to herself.
"Congratulations, Xiao Zhao. I will also work hard to help you achieve a new life as soon as possible." Yan Nange was happy for Xiao Zhao's progress, but at the same time, he felt a sense of loss. He felt that Xiao Zhao was truly drifting further and further away from him.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhao opened her beautiful eyes and "looked" at Yan Nange, her radiant eyes filled with a deep affection like the sea. "Silly brother, foolish brother, bad brother, how can you have so little faith in Xiao Zhao? Xiao Zhao will always be your Xiao Zhao. She would never leave you. Don't you know that your yang energy is in Xiao Zhao's soul? The moment Xiao Zhao entered your body, she was destined to be yours. Her soul is yours, her heart is yours, and her future body will be yours, yours alone. This is inevitable, it's destined. And Xiao Zhao has truly fallen in love with you. Can't you feel her incredibly deep love? Xiao Zhao would do anything for you, as long as you're happy." Xiao Zhao spoke softly, her previous holy and unapproachable expression gone. As she spoke, tears streamed down her beautiful face, because of Yan Nange's disregard for her deep affection, and because of Yan Nange's disappointment.
Do souls have tears? The answer is yes.
Yan Nange suddenly felt an incredibly deep longing and tenderness envelop his consciousness, filling his body—what a profound and awe-inspiring affection it was. It turned out that Xiao Zhao wasn't just joking; she had truly merged him into her very soul. She possessed the deep love of a lover and the tender affection of a mother. Yan Nange felt her intense love, her willingness to sacrifice everything for him, not even for personal gain, but simply to make him happy.
"Zhao'er, brother understands. Brother will cherish you dearly from now on, making my Zhao'er an incomparably happy and blessed little goddess." Yan Nange was moved to tears. This emotion was different from the emotion conveyed through words; it was a direct feeling from the heart, a complete and utter emotion. Only then did Yan Nange realize that he not only pitied her but also deeply loved her, though he hadn't noticed it or been awakened to it. Now, this feeling of liking, or rather, love, had erupted, and it was incredibly profound. Yan Nange enveloped Rou'er with his divine sense, giving her all his boundless emotion, love, and tenderness. Xiao Zhao finally understood that her brother also deeply loved her, though she herself had never known it.
The two entwined themselves in this unique and unprecedented way, for the sake of their deep affection.
Sometimes, the person you pay the most attention to isn't necessarily the one you love most; rather, the person hidden deep in the corner of your heart might be the one you deeply love. Many times we are unaware of this, thus missing out on many potentially beautiful loves. When one day, one event makes you understand, the wheel of time has ruthlessly crushed your destiny, leaving no possibility of regaining it. Love is the most unpredictable thing. When we make a choice, we need to carefully examine it: Is it really him (or her)? If it really is him (or her), why hide another person so deeply in your heart, so afraid that others will know, as if afraid that someone will steal your treasure?
The merging of souls elevates love to a height that is difficult to reach in ordinary times. Yan Nange and Xiao Zhao both felt a sweet thrill they had never experienced before. What a beautiful and wondrous feeling it was! It made them feel as if they were floating in the clouds, lost in the mist, bathed in warm sunshine, embracing the vast earth. What is love?
What is love? At this moment, Yan Nange and Xiao Zhao were speechless. Love was so vibrant, dazzling, gentle, and tender, yet also profound and enduring.
What is love? Yan Nange and Xiao Zhao suddenly thought of this question, and then they burst into laughter, a laughter as bright as the sun in the sky, as gentle as spring rain on a street, as time passing, as enigmatic as the world's mysteries.
It was in this laughter that they had an epiphany about love.

Chapter 196 Night Line:

What is an epiphany? Perhaps it's difficult to define precisely. In short, gazing at the night outside the crystal window, Yan Nange suddenly felt an unprecedented ease and joy, devoid of the lingering worries about love and responsibility, only genuine ease and deep affection.
How was Yan Nange different now from the Yan Nange of the past? This question wasn't easy to answer, but it was indeed different. It was different in spirit, in temperament, and perhaps even in body.
"Brother. What are you looking at?" A delicate, curious voice came from behind.
Yan Nange turned around, smiling at the little beauty with bright, sparkling eyes on the carpet. She reached out and hugged her. "Jiaojiao, look, there are so many stars outside!" Yan Nange smiled, pointing to the twinkling stars in the sky.
"Yes, yes, they're so beautiful! Jiaojiao loves looking at the stars, and so does Mommy. She takes Jiaojiao to sit on the balcony and watch the stars. Mommy says that every star in the sky represents a person." Jiaojiao blinked her dreamy, misty eyes, looking at the night sky, then turned back to look at Yan Nange.
"Does Jiaojiao know which star represents Mommy and Jiaojiao?" Yan Nange smiled at the adorable little girl, her heart overflowing with tenderness.
"Mommy says the brightest one is Jiaojiao, and the one right next to it is Mommy, but Jiaojiao doesn't know which two stars are actually Mommy and me." Jiaojiao looked at the vast sea of stars in the night sky with a puzzled expression.
"That one is Jiaojiao, the one next to it is Mom, and those around Mom and Jiaojiao are her brothers and sisters. Jiaojiao, do you remember?" Yan Nange pointed to a blue-glowing star and some surrounding stars in the sky. Yan Nange knew that this was indeed the brightest star in the sky; it was called the Wishing Star, and the constellation formed by the Wishing Star and the surrounding stars was the Blessing Constellation, also known as the Happiness Constellation. Legend has it that if you make a wish upon this Wishing Star, within seven days you will see the entire constellation suddenly shine brightly, and your wish will come true. Yan Nange didn't really believe it, but he was also trying to bring good luck to Jiaojiao and everyone else. He did believe it to some extent.
"Yes! Jiaojiao remembers. But brother, why isn't the brightest one your brother and Mom, or your sisters? Why does it have to be Jiaojiao?" Jiaojiao asked, her little hands cupping Yan Nange's face, her eyes full of confusion.
The feeling of Yan Nange's face being cradled in Jiao Jiao's soft little hands was pure bliss. A deep sense of happiness made Yan Nange let out a contented sigh.
Smiling, Yan Nange gently stroked Jiao Jiao's soft, dark hair with one hand. "Jiao Jiao," he said, "why? Because in the eyes of your brother, mother, and sister, Jiao Jiao is the most precious treasure. Nothing is more precious than you. Everyone loves Jiao Jiao, everyone likes Jiao Jiao, so you are our center, you are the brightest star. We surround you to protect you, to make our little beauty Jiao Jiao happy and healthy, and to help her grow into a beautiful young woman." Yan Nange's eyes shone with love and care. Now, as a father of two unborn children, he understood the feelings of parents. Looking at Jiao Jiao, he felt like a father, a brother, and a friend. His words came from the heart. Although he hadn't spent much time with Jiao Jiao, he truly considered her his own daughter.
"Brother, will you be Jiaojiao's dad?" Jiaojiao suddenly asked seriously, her earnest expression far beyond what a three-year-old should have.
"Why does Jiaojiao ask that?" Yan Nange asked with a smile, but he also became serious, because he could tell Jiaojiao was being earnest. Children's words shouldn't all be taken as jokes.
"Because brother is very good. He's good to Jiaojiao, and he'll be good to mom. If brother becomes dad, mom won't have to pretend to be happy with Jiaojiao anymore, she can be genuinely happy. Jiaojiao won't have to pretend to be happy either, she can be truly happy too," Jiaojiao said, blinking her big eyes.
Yan Nange couldn't believe what Jiaojiao was saying. It shocked him. What had made her understand facts that even some adults might overlook at such a young age? What had made her learn to pretend at such a young age? This was simply a cruel blow to a child's heart. Seeing the faint sadness hidden in Jiaojiao's eyes, which should have been innocent, Yan Nange couldn't help but feel shocked and heartbroken.
Yan Nange didn't speak, but simply held Jiaojiao tightly. Jiaojiao also held Yan Nange tightly. In that moment, Yan Nange and Jiaojiao experienced the love between father and daughter, the understanding of friends, and immense warmth and emotion.
After a long while ,
Yan Nange asked, "Jiaojiao, why did you think of these things?" He wanted to help her resolve her inner conflict to prevent any lingering trauma.
"Jiaojiao doesn't know either. Maybe it's like what the adults say, that I'm precocious. I see other children carefree, they seem to think of nothing else, only playing, eating, and being spoiled by their parents. But Jiaojiao is different. When Jiaojiao was two years old, she understood her mother's sadness and realized her difference, not only because she was smarter than others, but also because she didn't have a father like other children, she only had a mother. Jiaojiao thinks that her mother's unhappiness might also stem from these two reasons. So Jiaojiao still likes to act like a naughty child and never asks why she doesn't have a father, because she's afraid of hurting her mother. Her mother is also very young. She sees many older girls still being spoiled by their parents like Jiaojiao, but her mother already has to take care of Jiaojiao and also paint and embroider to support both of them. Her mother is also very strong, and she doesn't want her uncle to help us. Jiaojiao thinks her mother is so tired!" Jiaojiao gazed into the void, speaking softly. Yan Nange felt a tightness in her heart. What kind of daughter and mother was this?
Hearing such words from such a young child was already heartbreaking for Yan Nange, and seeing the adult expression on Jiao Jiao's innocent face made his nose sting, and tears almost welled up in his eyes. Yan Nange wouldn't even flinch in the face of a massive army, but seeing this little girl burdened with such worries, he couldn't control his heartache. Really... sigh!
"Jiao Jiao, don't do this again, okay? Your brother will make you and Mom happy, and I'll take care of you and Mom for the rest of your lives. From now on, you should play happily like a child, and not think about things that adults should worry about, okay? If you think about adult things, what will adults do?" Yan Nange took a deep breath, suppressing his tears, and smiled at Jiao Jiao.
"Brother, so you've agreed to be Jiao Jiao's father, right?" Jiao Jiao hadn't forgotten about it.
"This requires your mother's approval!" Yan Nange had already decided to make Xiao Ruo his wife.
"Mom will definitely agree." Jiao Jiao smiled slyly, her eyes full of scheming. Yan Nange felt a chill run down his spine. It seems that wisdom truly doesn't come with age, and appearances can be deceiving. Anyone who thinks Jiao Jiao is just a little girl is absolutely wrong and will definitely be deeply impressed.
"Brother, will you be Jiao Jiao's father when you grow up, and then Jiao Jiao will be your husband?" After thinking for a while, Jiao Jiao still asked Yan Nange this difficult question.
Yan Nange's vision went black...

(Chapter 197 Warmth
: 10-21 10:18:28, Words: 1604)

Yan Nange was almost stunned by Jiao Jiao's words. She actually said that he should be her father first, and then she could be her husband when she grew up. Only a child would have such an absurd and ridiculous idea. Jiaojiao was still just a child, Yan Nange thought with a wry smile.
After a while, Xiao Ruo carried Jiaojiao back to bed. Xiao Ruo was still a little awkward when she saw Yan Nange, but she wasn't too distant anymore, probably because she was already familiar with Qianqian and Mengmou, and had come to accept him more.
Yan Nange was wondering how everyone would rest tonight; he didn't know which room Mengmou and the others were staying in. Just then, Xianlan was pushed in by Rou'er, Qianqian, and Mengmou, who were laughing.
"Brother, you have to take good care of Xianlan! Otherwise, we'll settle the score with you!" After saying that, Qianqian and the others ran out of the room, closing the door tightly behind them.
Xianlan sat on the large bed, her pretty face flushed pink, perhaps from the alcohol. Already alluring, she was now even more captivating, especially when she occasionally glanced at Yan Nange. Her beautiful eyes shimmered, as if they might overflow with tears at any moment, rising and falling gracefully with her rapid breathing, drawing the viewer's gaze and making them want to tear her veil to reveal her stunningly beautiful body. Yan Nange's desire was instantly aroused by Xianlan.
He knelt on one knee, like a prince proposing. He gently cupped Xianlan's exquisite face in his hands, gazing at her. Suddenly, Xianlan embraced Yan Nange's head, offering him a fiery kiss. Instantly, the room filled with the warmth of spring. Their
lips parted.
"Brother, wait a moment. Xianxian needs to take a bath first; I sweated a little while playing," Xianlan said shyly, panting, grabbing Yan Nange's hand as he tried to carry her to the bed.
"Alright. Then brother will give Xianxian a bath." Yan Nange chuckled mischievously, picking up the shy Xianlan and carrying her into the bathroom. Yan Nange had already seen this bathroom when he entered; it was like the one in Kaitian Fortress, where water could be turned on at any time. He had tested the water and it seemed to be hot spring water. The bathroom was large, with a simply polished beige stone floor that felt warm and comfortable under bare feet. The bathtub was carved from a single piece of crystal-clear white jade, rectangular in shape, large enough for four people to lie down. The outer edges were exquisitely carved and even inlaid with several beautiful stones. This bathtub was truly luxurious and precious. When Yan Nange first saw it, he guessed that moving this enormous thing in must have taken a lot of effort, but it must be very comfortable to enjoy.
While he was turning on the water, Yan Nange had already undressed Xianlan completely, and he himself quickly undressed as well. The water was full, and Yan Nange turned off the tap. Holding Bi's breathtakingly beautiful, crystalline body, he lay down in the bath.
Xianlan nestled shyly in Yan Nange's arms, her small hands gently splashing water to hide her unease. She had never imagined bathing with a man, especially in such a shameful and intimate position.
But had she perhaps dreamt of being with this man she loved so dearly in the dead of night, only then, his face was still blurry, and she hadn't seen him clearly? Perhaps, during a quiet afternoon nap, she had glimpsed his figure, only not with this closeness, this tenderness?
Many things were too much to think about, too painful to consider; she only wanted to nestle in his arms, letting him cherish and pamper her. To enjoy this moment of sweetness and warmth, love and passion, was the greatest happiness.
Xianlan's breathtaking beauty was intoxicating.
In this fragrant pool of water, Yan Nange and Xianlan were about to begin their married life.

Chapter 198 Deep Affection
: 10-21 10:18:28 Word Count: 1812

Although Xianlan was afraid, she bravely accepted him, her eyes brimming with tears.
It was Xianlan who insisted on performing this ritual; she felt it was an essential and important one. Although she had never experienced it herself, this tradition had somehow left an impression on her mind. Therefore, she wasn't ignorant about matters between men and women; in fact, she knew quite a bit, only she had never experienced love.
"Baby, if you're scared, don't do this. We can do it later." Although Yan Nange was currently in the throes of intense desire, he wouldn't ignore Xianlan's feelings. As her first time, he wanted to leave her with a beautiful impression, not something she would regret.
"Brother, can you be a little more affectionate towards Xianxian? That way, Xianxian's attention will be distracted, and it might be better," Xianlan said shyly.
Yan Nange had wanted to do this for a long time, and now that Xianlan had said so, he used all the methods he had learned from books. This way, performing the most important ritual for the girl wouldn't be so terrifying.
Yan Nange kissed Xianlan again, the faint fragrance emanating from her dark blue hair like her gentle hand caressing his heart. An indescribable gratitude and fluttering of emotions washed over Yan Nange's heart like a tide. To live is
sweet, to die is tender! Between life and death lies a love that lasts a lifetime.
Yan Nange gently moved and sat up, holding Xianlan tightly in his arms. He circulated his inner energy, silently reciting the dual cultivation incantation, and began their dual cultivation. Xianlan's body was too weak; she could only experience her first time during dual cultivation, otherwise she certainly wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Finally, the two were deeply united.
Xianlan straddled the man's penis, sobbing; it really hurt!
Yan Nange's leisurely Qi had completed thirty-six cycles. A warm current flowed from the tip of Yan Nange's tongue to Xian Lan's smooth, fragrant tongue, then, guided by Yan Nange, circulated throughout her body, returning to Yan Nange's body from the point of their union after thirty-six cycles.
After the first return, Xian Lan felt no pain, but instead felt incredibly blissful, wanting Yan Nange to cherish her now.
Yan Nange saw the shimmering tears in Xian Lan's open, beautiful eyes, so he gently moved his hands around her incredibly slender waist.
But Xian Lan didn't close her shimmering eyes again; instead, she gazed deeply and shyly into Yan Nange's radiant eyes. She loved looking at the man who brought her happiness and joy; he was her husband. Even now, he showed no trace of lewdness or lewdness, but was even more handsome and charming than usual. She wished she could be pampered by him like this forever—what a bliss that would be!
Xianlan held Yan Nange tightly, gently stroking his strong, muscular back. At that moment, she longed to merge herself into his body, to be one with him.
Yan Nange's serene energy flowed between their bodies, mingled with the harmonious energy of dual cultivation.
Xianlan let out a long, muffled groan, her limbs tightening around Yan Nange, her entire body trembling violently, creating ripples in the water. Yan Nange felt Xianlan gripping him tightly, only releasing her after a long while, and then the cycle continued.
Finally, her body softened, but the trembling intensified.
Yan Nange knew that Xianlan had reached a state of boundless joy. He treated her gently, allowing her to enjoy this state even more comfortably and blissfully.
The moment a girl is happiest is also the moment a man is happiest and proudest.
The constantly flowing true energy absorbed their essence into each other's bodies, transforming it into nourishing true energy.
