Hearing Ye Luo say that, Lin Xiaoyan had an expression of bashful shyness, with a hint of playful annoyance that was quite captivating, making Ye Luo swallow hard several times. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"I was just joking, don’t take it seriously, I’ll go first."

Ye Luo smiled awkwardly, ready to leave.

But just then, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly tiptoed up, lightly pecked Ye Luo’s lips, and quickly pulled away.

Ye Luo was stunned and somewhat dazed...

Lin Xiaoyan, her face covered in embarrassment, said to Ye Luo, "Brother Ye, that was my first kiss, consider it my way of repaying you, bye!"

The next second, Lin Xiaoyan turned and ran into the stairwell, vanishing from sight.

Touching his own lips, Ye Luo was somewhat speechless.

Damn, is Heaven being too good to me...

Sigh, being handsome really draws people in, even beauties throw themselves at me, amazing...

After indulging in self-admiration, Ye Luo drove back to the villa complex.

What Ye Luo hadn’t expected was that the moment he returned to the villa and walked in through the door, a figure rushed up and hugged him tightly.

"Ye Luo, you’re really incredible, you’re simply my hero!"

The figure hugging Ye Luo was Luo Jingxuan, who hadn’t returned all through the previous night. At this moment, her expression was extremely excited as she clung to Ye Luo.

Crap... What’s going on? I got ambushed as soon as I walked through my front door?

What’s with Luo Jingxuan? What great thing happened to make her so happy? Did she win five million, or suddenly grow a few centimeters taller?

"Luo Jingxuan, what’s going on, let go of me first, men and women shouldn’t touch, I’ll sue you for violating me!"

Ye Luo took a deep breath and said to Luo Jingxuan.

Ah!

At that, Jingxuan screamed, quickly let go of Ye Luo, and hurriedly backed away. She had been too excited just now, which was why she couldn’t help but rush up to him. Now, seeing how intimately she and Ye Luo were embracing, she immediately panicked.

But Luo Jingxuan backed away too quickly, lost her footing, and started to fall backward, her face changing color instantly.

Whoosh!

Just then, Ye Luo’s hand shot out, caught one of Luo Jingxuan’s hands, and pulled her towards him. The almost-falling Luo Jingxuan suddenly lunged at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo, with his quick reflexes and agility, naturally caught her with ease. With him there, even if Jingxuan wanted to hit the ground, it would take some skill to do so; otherwise, it would be impossible to escape his clutches.

At this moment, Jingxuan’s eyes were wide as she looked at Ye Luo, filled with disbelief, and she didn’t recover for quite a while.

Just now, I almost fell down, and even I didn’t react in time, but somehow I stood firm on the spot as if time had reversed, which left me deeply astonished. Now I’ve finally realized just how capable Ye Luo is; his reaction ability is terrifying, just like in a movie.

It took quite a while before Luo Jingxuan’s complexion gradually returned to normal, and looking directly at Ye Luo, she said, "Thank you!"

"Huh? Thank me for what? Don’t tell me you’re thanking me for not letting you fall? To be honest, your verbal thanks aren’t very sincere. If you truly want to thank me, then express it differently!"

Ye Luo said playfully, puckering his lips.

"Pfft, what nonsense! Big pervert!"

Luo Jingxuan, well aware of what Ye Luo meant, rolled her eyes at him and said discontentedly, "I’m thanking you for the medicinal recipes you gave me earlier. I’ve already experimented with them, and the effects of these beauty, breast enhancement, and weight loss formulas are all exceptionally good."

"Once they are manufactured and marketed, they will undoubtedly become instantly popular throughout Huaxia and even other countries. At that time, Meiyue Company will be able to completely rise out of this quagmire and even recreate the former glory of the Ye Family enterprise."

The more Luo Jingxuan spoke, the more excited she became, dreaming of Meiyue Company’s grand future.

"So that was it. And here I was thinking it was something else. It’s just a few recipes; no need to get so worked up. I told you, if you really want to thank me, just say it verbally."

Ye Luo pursed his lips and sat down on the sofa. As for how much profit or money, he might have been excited about it in the past, but now he was feeling indifferent—it didn’t excite him as much as gaining fifty years of cultivation strength would.

"You seem quite unfazed. You might not realize it, but once these products made from the recipes are marketed, it will be a huge revolution in the cosmetics industry. At that time, we are talking about an income of several tens of billions."

Luo Jingxuan spoke with a solemn expression. Even with her composure, she found it difficult to remain calm about the forthcoming changes and revenues the recipes would bring, while Ye Luo appeared to be completely unaffected.

"If that’s the case, then go ahead and do it well. Consider this a little something I’ve done for the Ye Family. If you need anything else, you can come to me."

"You also need to put in effort with Ling Qingya. You must win her over, but be cautious of her father, Ling Huatao; he’s not simple. I suspect that the bizarre disappearance of my sister and brother-in-law is related to him. Take the opportunity to help investigate if you can."

"Understood, that guy really isn’t simple."

Ye Luo nodded. Although he had only met Ling Huatao once, his observation told him that the man was extremely cunning, a true old fox.

The following day, in Ye Luo’s room.

At this moment, Ye Luo was sitting crossed-legged on the bed, holding a jade Guanyin statue, the very one containing a large amount of spiritual energy that he had gotten from Situ Luoyun. After a night of absorption and cultivation, the spiritual energy in the jade had been depleted by more than half.

Ye Luo’s Nine Yang True Qi was also steadily improving, with the second meridian of the Nine Yang Meridian system already half cleared. Once the second meridian was fully opened, his strength would double again, allowing him to exert four times the strength of his peers at the same level and with a body rivaling that of having three Dantians.

All of this would grant Ye Luo formidable fighting power even in the Innate Realm, not to mention his other hidden aces. Of course, it would be best not to use these aces if possible. Right now, it seemed that just relying on the Nine Yang True Energy was enough to handle most situations; there would likely be few instances where he’d need to use his final cards.

After freshening up, Ye Luo left his room to find Luo Jingxuan had already prepared breakfast.

"You’re up. Let’s have breakfast."

Luo Jingxuan said, looking at Ye Luo.

"Jingxuan is really a woman of many talents, capable both in the hall and the kitchen. Preparing breakfast every day, you truly are the paragon of a wise and good housekeeper," Ye Luo said with a playful smile as he looked at her.
