Chapter 1134: Master, I Can't Leave
The next day.
Fang Ruolan woke up from her dream, smiling as she did so because she had a beautiful dream.
In the dream, she gave birth to a son for Ye Chen and became his first wife, the leader among the women!
So Fang Ruolan woke up smiling because it was a good omen!
Moreover, this wasn't just a dream; it could very well come true!
"Hmm? Where has Ye Chen gone?"
Fang Ruolan stretched lazily, and then her expression changed because the place next to her was empty; Ye Chen had disappeared!
"Hmm? There's a noise outside, could it be Ye Chen?" At this moment, the noise from the yard caught Fang Ruolan's attention.
"Could they have arrived?" Fang Ruolan wondered suspiciously.
Ye Chen's women had moved and were supposed to come today to take them to the new residence.
Ye Chen had disappeared early in the morning, and the noise outside could be those women arriving, with Ye Chen going out to meet them.
Thinking of this, Fang Ruolan hurriedly got up, tidied her appearance, and walked out of the room.
Fang Ruolan knew Ye Chen had many women, but she had never confronted them directly, so she took this first meeting seriously.
Ability determines a person's status, and Fang Ruolan believed she was second to none, so she wanted to outshine everyone and establish her status in the harem!
However, when Fang Ruolan entered the courtyard, the scene she imagined did not appear; there were only two people in the yard, one was Ye Chen and the other was her master!
"Ruolan, you're awake?" Zhu Ziyue smiled as she saw Fang Ruolan. "Ye Chen bought breakfast, I've already set it out, come sit and eat."
"Uh." Fang Ruolan didn't move because she was stunned.
"Silly apprentice, why are you in a daze? Come and eat!" Zhu Ziyue laughed again.
"Master, what, what's wrong with you?" Fang Ruolan was stunned seeing Zhu Ziyue setting the table.
Zhu Ziyue was the master of Miaojiang, someone like an immortal who wouldn't touch mundane tasks, how could she be setting the tables?
Moreover, beings with Saintly Great Power didn't need to eat; they only needed to absorb heavens and earth's vitality. What on earth was Zhu Ziyue doing?
"I left Miaojiang and my mindset changed; I want to experience life." Zhu Ziyue said. "Besides, since I've entered the secular world, I must eat and drink, what's so surprising?"
"But even if you want to experience the world, you shouldn't put yourself through this!"
Ye Chen sat down boldly, waiting to be served by Zhu Ziyue, which left Fang Ruolan disoriented, unable to accept this.
"You slept till dawn, and Ye Chen is a man, if I didn't do it, who would?" Zhu Ziyue countered.
"..." Fang Ruolan was still in a daze, unable to react, as her cold and unparalleled master was serving soy milk and mixing vegetables... It made Fang Ruolan feel like the world was going crazy.
"Ruolan, don't just stand there, come eat!" Ye Chen called out to her.
"Ye Chen, what's happened to my master, why has she changed?" Fang Ruolan whispered as she moved closer to Ye Chen.
"You ask me everything, how would I know?" Ye Chen replied.
Overnight, Zhu Ziyue had changed dramatically, beyond anything Ye Chen could believe.
Moreover, Ye Chen hadn't taken advantage of Zhu Ziyue; they had just exchanged some sweet words and then fallen asleep in each other's arms.
"When did you wake up? How did you get up so early without me noticing?" Fang Ruolan suddenly asked.
"I woke up at dawn, saw you sleeping soundly, didn't want to disturb you, and just went out to buy breakfast!"
Ye Chen and Zhu Ziyue slept till morning, without going back, but can they say that?
So Ye Chen could only lie to hide the truth.
"What's happened to Master for her personality to change so much, like someone different?"
Fang Ruolan didn't doubt Ye Chen, but rather questioned why Zhu Ziyue had changed.
The former Zhu Ziyue was so aloof, like a goddess above, incredibly untouchable.
But now Zhu Ziyue had changed, not only serving soy milk but also mixing vegetables, which Fang Ruolan found hard to accept.
"Your master has gone through major changes; a little change is normal, don't worry!" Zhu Ziyue had changed for him, Ye Chen couldn't confess, so he had to cover it up.
"But my master wouldn't touch mortal tasks, wouldn't handle mundane chores, but now serving soy milk and mixing vegetables… That's too much of a change!" Fang Ruolan still seemed confused.
"How would I know, go ask yourself!" Ye Chen rolled his eyes.
Fang Ruolan wasn't a fool; if she observed carefully, she might find the flaws.
So Ye Chen had to remain calm and not draw Fang Ruolan's suspicion.
"Master is behaving too good, taking the initiative in housework and serving Ye Chen buns, this..."
Zhu Ziyue's gentle and virtuous demeanor aroused suspicion in Fang Ruolan, as if she was on the cusp of discovering something, yet couldn't grasp it.
All in all, Zhu Ziyue's vibe was strange, making Fang Ruolan uneasy and unable to adapt.
"Eat up!"
Zhu Ziyue, after a while, sat down, sipping soy milk with a look of enjoyment.
"..."
Fang Ruolan and Ye Chen exchanged a glance, both with strange expressions; the change in Zhu Ziyue was indeed astonishing!
Moreover, Ye Chen was more surprised than anyone; if not for Fang Ruolan, he would have wanted to ask Zhu Ziyue straight away.
"Ye Chen, can we stay here instead of moving to a new place?" Zhu Ziyue asked.
"You want to stay here?"
Zhu Ziyue's change was so vast that even Ye Chen felt lost, unable to comprehend her intentions.
Now, Zhu Ziyue wanted to stay, catching Ye Chen off guard, questioning what game she was playing.
"I'll stay here!" Zhu Ziyue said. "This little courtyard is nice, peaceful, suits my mood! You all go, I'll stay here alone for some peace!"
Zhu Ziyue spoke earnestly, without a hint of jest, causing Ye Chen to fall silent.
However, Ye Chen quickly reasoned it out, deciding to let Zhu Ziyue remain.
"Ye Chen, I won't leave either!" Fang Ruolan suddenly said. "Master's soul is injured, the wounds are hard to heal, I want to stay and care for her!"
"Pfft!" Ye Chen spat out his drink upon hearing this.
"What's wrong?" Fang Ruolan asked quizzically. She said she wanted to stay and take care of her master; why was Ye Chen so reactive?
"Nothing!" Ye Chen shook his head.
"It's just that, if you stay, I'll miss you!"
Zhu Ziyue was like a big cake, and Ye Chen wanted to take advantage and get a taste.
But if Fang Ruolan stayed here, how could Ye Chen even try?
"No worries!" Fang Ruolan said. "When you miss me, you can come here to see me, I won't go anywhere, just wait for you here!"
"Uh!" Ye Chen looked at Fang Ruolan, feeling a pang in his chest.
"Ruolan, your master has no other worries, so she's willing to live here alone. You and Ye Chen are a couple now, just go with him, don't worry about me!" Zhu Ziyue said.
She also hoped Fang Ruolan would leave, otherwise Ye Chen couldn't easily sneak in, wasn't she supposed to live quietly and alone?
"Master, I cannot leave you!" Fang Ruolan insisted. "If I go, what will you do?"
"..."
