Chapter 142 - Change of Tide (1)
“When did I become a daughter-in-law of the Ye family?” Leng Ruoxue had a mocking expression on her face. Her eyes were deep, and she looked at the furious Ye Ming indifferently. What kind of person is he! He turned hostile immediately when he didn’t achieve his goal.
“You will marry into the Ye family sooner or later. Aren’t you a daughter-in-law of the Ye family?” Ye Ming asked in return with a stern face.
“Who said I’m marrying into the Ye family? I’m not marrying into any family,” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.
“…”
“He’s the one marrying in,” Leng Ruoxue said domineeringly while pointing at Freak.
“Xue’er!” Freak looked at Leng Ruoxue lovingly, his eyes saying ‘When will you marry me?’
“Y-you… Do you think this is what a woman should say?” Ye Ming was so angry that he almost fainted.
“Patriarch, I’ve already told you that our Ye family can’t afford to marry Leng Ruoxue.” Ming Fen added oil to the fire and mocked him. He deserves it. Ye Ming used his identity as the patriarch to force us to apologize. In the end, it was all for naught. Haha… Ming Fen laughed hysterically in her head.
“Shut up!” Ye Ming scolded with a dark face. This woman clearly wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
“Patriarch Ye is also considered a powerhouse, so of course you look down on women. But…” Leng Ruoxue looked at Ming Fen, who was causing trouble, and stopped speaking.
“But what?”
“But you shouldn’t be too fond of women. You might regret it in the future!” Leng Ruoxue reminded him out of goodwill.
“Hmph! I have never believed that a woman would dare to ride on my head!” Ye Ming said coldly. Then he flicked his sleeves and left.
Ye Tao and his wife left quickly after him. Before leaving, Ming Fen glared at Ye Chen fiercely.
“So rude,” Leng Ruoxue murmured with some displeasure.
“It’s good that Ye Ming didn’t die of anger. Do you still want him to be polite?” Leng Qingtian said speechlessly.
“Xue’er, we’ve offended the Ye family this time. You have to be careful!” Leng Qingtian said worriedly.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll be careful.
“Grandpa, the Ye family already knows that I have spots in my hand. I believe other families will come knocking on my door soon. If anyone looks for me, just tell them that I’m in seclusion and that I’ve given the spots away,” Leng Ruoxue said after thinking about it. In fact, she still had a few spots in her hand after giving them to her grandfather and brother, but she planned to keep them as backup.
“Okay.” Leng Qingtian nodded.
After Leng Ruoxue and Freak left the living room, they went to look for Feng Da, said a few words to him, and then left.
“Freak, I’m going into seclusion tomorrow. Don’t disturb me unless it’s something particularly important!” Leng Ruoxue said to Freak from the entrance of the Listening Snow Pavilion.
“Alright.” Freak looked at Leng Ruoxue bitterly. Boohoo…
Leng Ruoxue returned to her room and entered the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.
“Girl, you’re here.” The butterfly Leng Ruoxue threw into the Heaven and Earth Bracelet flew over and stopped in front of her.
“Big Sister!” Little Fengfeng and Blaze also ran over and climbed directly onto Leng Ruoxue.
“You’re all so big now. How can Big Sister carry all of you at once!” Leng Ruoxue laughed. Since they were locked up to cultivate obediently, these little fellows had advanced to level one holy beast. Their small bodies had grown quite big, and they were as strong as a small mountain. She couldn’t carry them like before.
“Girl!” The ignored butterfly was unhappy and glared at Leng Ruoxue.
“Go and play by yourself. There are so many flowers and trees over there. That’s enough pollen for you to collect,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
“Collect pollen? I don’t collect pollen. I am a sprite! A sprite!” The butterfly roared furiously. It was very angry, and the consequences were serious. This girl actually compared me to those low-level creatures. She is really too much. The butterfly found it intolerable!
“Don’t collect pollen? You can collect honey then. Go quickly!” Leng Ruoxue said in realization.
“I won’t collect honey either!” The butterfly wilted and squatted in a corner to draw circles.
“Qing Jue, I’m going to cultivate. Call me if anyone outside is looking for me,” Leng Ruoxue said to Qing Jue, who was not far away.
“Okay, Big Sister.”
Leng Ruoxue then entered the purple bamboo house.
…
The garden of the general’s mansion was blooming with flowers of all colors.
“Hey, what’s wrong with Ye Chen?” Feng Moran, who came from the Feng family residence, patted Feng Da in puzzlement. Why does this fellow look listless and ignoring others?
“Miss went into seclusion, so Deputy Leader Ye became this way,” Feng Da explained weakly. Recently, Deputy Leader Ye had been sitting alone in the garden in a daze.
“Xue’er went into seclusion?” Feng Moran said in surprise. No wonder he didn’t see her. But why did she go into seclusion so quickly?
“Probably annoyed by the visitors,” Feng Da guessed. There were always people coming to see their young lady every day ever since they returned from Lunar Capital. Alas!
“Yeah, Xue’er is indeed afraid of trouble,” Feng Moran said understandingly. He more or less understood her temper after being with her for so long.
“Oh right, Deputy Leader Feng, Miss asked me to help her buy a shop. Can you accompany me to discuss it?”
“What for?” Feng Moran was puzzled. Does Xue’er want to do business?
“Miss wants to open a restaurant,” Feng Da explained. He had already seen the location, but he hadn’t managed to negotiate the price down.
“Does Xue’er have time to manage it?” Restaurants were very troublesome, so Feng Moran was really curious.
“There’s us!” Feng Da said with a grin.
“Oh.” Feng Moran nodded. He really couldn’t understand why Xue’er wanted to open a restaurant. She wasn’t short of money.
“Deputy Leader Feng, let’s go!”
“Okay!”
After they left, Ye Chen sat alone in the garden, looking up at the sky.
…
Leng Ruoxue cultivated day and night in the purple bamboo house, and she accelerated time by 100 times. Unfortunately, her strength was far inferior to her master’s. Otherwise, her strength would absolutely rise to a higher level if she accelerated time by 10,000 or even 1,000,000 times.
