"Hmph, all you ever do is go find your Tiger Girl. Is she more important than me?!" Ye Lanyu was jealous again. This always happened whenever this topic came up.

"You are both important!" Ye Lang answered again. One was his older sister, and the other was his childhood playmate who had taken care of him for eight years. Both were very important and incomparable.

No one could answer this question, let alone Ye Lang himself, who couldn't even distinguish between them!

"Forget it, forget it. I know Taiya is very important to you. She has taken care of you for eight years, and she is probably more important than anyone else here. I'm not jealous. This is what she deserves. She has made sacrifices!" Ye Lanyu quickly let it go, just like always.

"What I'm worried about now is whether you might have gone to the wrong place, like Tiger Girl's. That won't do. To be on the safe side, you should have Anna and the others take you there. They're the ones who will take Taiya there!" Ye Lanyu said.

"Yes, I'll go find them. They seem to be here in a few days!" Ye Lang nodded. He was well aware of Anna Mercenary Group's whereabouts because the mercenary group would proactively send him information.

"Speaking of mercenary groups, that Mandy from last time was quite nice. Perhaps we could consider having your Anna recruit her into one?" Ye Lanyu said. And when she said "your Anna," she meant the entire Anna Mercenary Group, not just the group's Regiment Commander Anna.

"Sister Mandy, she won't join. Her hope is to develop her little mercenary group. Although the process will be tough, I believe it will be the most wonderful thing," Ye Lang said.

In life, don't just take shortcuts; the process itself is also worth remembering.

After confirming Ye Lang's identity, Sister Mandy continued her mission, sending people to Fire Dragon City. Of course, the little conflict between the two was also resolved.

Needless to say, Ye Lang wouldn't care about these issues at all, and Sister Mandy also understood that Ye Lang was acting out of concern for Zhen Xiaoyan. She was also very magnanimous and naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

Before parting, the two had a big drinking session. Well, it was Sister Mandy was drinking the most, while Ye Lang, after drinking, simply collapsed to the side and fell asleep...

"That's true. If we were still the Ye Clan as before, we wouldn't have to worry about all these issues, and we wouldn't be so busy working hard for development! But everyone seems very happy!" Ye Lanyu nodded and said with some emotion.

The Ye Clan is now starting a business. Although they already have a lot of assets, in relation to their goals, this is what starting a business is all about!

"Alright, since that's the case, then you'll come with me for a stroll today..." Ye Lanyu pulled Ye Lang along, and Ye Lang could only follow reluctantly, grumbling a little.

"What's there to wander around? There's no market or auction house here... Oh right, we need to build an auction house. How could I forget something so important?" Ye Lang's eyes lit up. His favorite place was the auction house, where he could spend a fortune, no, tens of thousands of dollars.

Wherever he went, the first place he would visit was the auction house, to see what valuable items were inside so that he could splurge as much as he wanted.

However, Ye City, such a small place, doesn't even have an auction house, not even a very small one!

The Ye Clan certainly wouldn't plan an auction house; that's generally a business for merchants, a luxury goods distribution center that naturally emerges after economic development.

Such a place would naturally not be included in the Ye Clan's plans; this is where Ye Lang, that Prodigal Son, comes in!

Go now...

Uh, let's do it tomorrow!

Ye Lang wanted to open one right away, but when he noticed Ye Lanyu's uneasy look, he held back for the time being and accompanied her shopping first.

Hopefully it can be done soon. Ye City is such a lousy place, there aren't many places to visit yet. Well, at least that's what everyone thinks!

This is what Ye Lang doesn't understand. They spent an entire afternoon in what seemed like a place with nothing much to see, and didn't return to the City Lord's Mansion together until evening.

Women are truly amazing beings!

That night, Ye Lang was kept up late by the three girls, and then fell asleep exhausted. On a large bed, there was one man and three women...

Ahem, don't get the wrong idea. It's just that Ye Lanyu was reluctant to leave Ye Lang, which is why she made a fuss for so long and refused to sleep. The Seventh Princess was also a little reluctant to leave, while Zhen Xiaoyan was a little better off.

As for them sleeping together, it's really not a big deal. They sleep fully clothed, so there's no major problem. Everyone knows about their relationship, so it's normal for them to sleep together.

An older sister, a fiancée, and a girlfriend—or rather, a female friend—whose identity has been somewhat ambiguous in the past!

At the moment of parting...

"Sister, Little Seven, Fatty..." Ye Lang looked at the three girls, his expression filled with sorrow and reluctance.

"Don't talk!!" the three girls shouted almost simultaneously, which confused the people on the side. Shouldn't they be hoping to hear this kid speak at this moment?

But who could have known that Ye Lang's words would still leave people speechless!

"Oh, then can I sing?" Ye Lang said, feeling wronged. "I just wanted to say goodbye to you all, and I can't even do that!"

"Okay, you sing, but sing it well, don't sing those messy songs again." Ye Lanyu touched Ye Lang with a hint of heartache, then said with a light laugh.

When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup to ask the heavens!

I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace?

I wish to ride the wind and return home!

I fear even the magnificent palaces and towers!

The higher you climb, the colder it gets; dancing with your shadow in the air, how can it compare to being in the human world?

The moon turns to the red pavilion, shines through the low, ornate windows, illuminating my sleepless night.

There should be no resentment, so why does the moon always seem to be full when we are apart?

People experience sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon waxes and wanes.

Nothing in this world is ever perfect; may all people live long and prosper!

We share the same moon, though we are thousands of miles apart...

Ye Lang's rendition of "Prelude to Water Melody" evoked a sense of parting, and his slightly heroic voice added a unique flavor to the farewell.

People always part ways sometimes, but parting is only for the sake of reuniting one day!

"Indeed, indeed! People experience sorrow and joy, separation and reunion... Nothing in this world is perfect... We can share the beauty of the moon even when we are thousands of miles apart..."

After a long period of intoxication, everyone began to react!

At this moment, Ye Lanyu and the other two girls looked at Ye Lang with teary eyes, seemingly deeply moved!

"Stop crying, you should go now. I want to sing another song." Ye Lang smiled slightly and said to Ye Lanyu.

"Who said I cried, you silly boy? Remember, come find us soon!" Ye Lanyu forced a smile, but her hand unconsciously patted Ye Lang's head.

"I know, you're so long-winded, like an old woman," Ye Lang waved his hand and said.
