When Ye Wanwan could hardly bear it any longer, Lian Zixin finally got up and left.
However, before departing, she continued to remind Ye Wanwan to take care of herself and not overexert.
As soon as Lian Zixin exited the room, the smile on Ye Wanwan’s face vanished instantly, replaced by an air of indifference. Normally, she might have been in the mood to deal with her aunt, but at the moment, she was in no such disposition.
If it hadn’t been for her mother, she vvouldn’t even have allowed this so-called auntie into her room. Clearly, she thought she had made her stance very clear and had no desire to get closer to this aunt. However, the other party acted as if she hadn’t noticed anything, remaining consistently affectionate.
At times, Ye Wanwan wondered if her auntie’s kindness was for the benefit of her children. But in her presence, her aunt rarely mentioned her own offspring.
Therefore, she couldn’t comprehend what her aunt was scheming.
On the other hand, after Lian Zixin left the courtyard, she once again met Lian Mengzhu, carrying a load of items before heading home.
Within the Huangfu family, Ye Lengan and Huangfu Ruiling hadn’t gone outside for several days.
Initially, they planned to spend a day fusing the fragments of the Shennong Cauldron back into its main body. However, things didn’t proceed as smoothly as expected.
It was unclear whether it was because the fragment had been separated from the main body for too long or because the main body had already acknowledged its master, but it unexpectedly rejected the fragment. This complication made the entire fusion process less smooth. Fortunately, Huangfu Ruilings extensive experience in alchemy allowed them to complete the fusion, just taking much longer than antic.i.p.ated.
With a delicate small medicinal cauldron in hand, Ye Lengan wore a smile on her face.
The small cauldron in her hand no longer bore a dusty appearance. Its body was now ink-black, standing on three legs with two ears emerging from the cauldron’s mouth. The pitch-black walls were adorned with depictions of various ancient and mystical creatures -strange three-legged birds, robust and twining ancient vines, and mysteriously blossoming magical flowers. The small cauldron’s body encompa.s.sed myriad elements, suggesting an eternal, inexhaustible essence.
Even before revealing its true form, the cauldron emitted an ancient and mysterious aura. However, if others were to see it, they wouldn’t recognize it as the Shennong Cauldron. The current appearance differed vastly from its auction presentation. Even alchemists like Ye Hongxuan wouldn’t be able to identify it.
With a turn of her hand, Ye Lengan made the Shennong Cauldron vanish.
Stepping forward happily, she took Huangfu Ruilings hand, smiling. “Let’s go, I’m treating you to a meal!”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but chuckle. He extended his hand, tapping Ye Leng’an’s nose. “Oh, do you have any Spirit Coins on you?”
A single remark left Ye Lengan momentarily stunned. However, she quickly regained composure, maintaining her smiling demeanor. “l only said I’m treating, not that I’ll pay the bill! Besides, as my fiancé, are you going to let your future wife pay?”
“Alright,” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head with amus.e.m.e.nt, his eyes filled with tenderness. “I’ll follow your lead.”
Hand in hand, the two headed out.
Yet, in the corridor, they encountered a familiar face, though recognition was one- sided. Huangfu Ruixiang was accompanying a disciple of the Huangfu family. While not his first time in the Hidden World’s Huangfu family, in the past, he mostly stayed in the outer sect and rarely ventured into the main family.
Nevertheless, each time he entered the main family, he couldn’t help but marvel. Unlike the mortal world, everyone here was a formidable figure. Moreover, in this realm, as long as one was powerful enough, lifespan could be continuously extended.
No one wanted to leave the Hidden World, and he was no exception. However, he was well aware of his own strength and knew it would likely be challenging. Yet, even so, he remained determined to strive and perform well in the upcoming Family Compet.i.tion. Only then might he be recognized by the family and allowed to stay..
