Soul Fusion (2)

Although Ye Lang had successfully reincarnated and found a family that fulfilled his "dying wish," his memories had not been fully unlocked, and a part of his soul seemed to have been sealed, making his reincarnation incomplete.

Perhaps this was a price of reincarnation, like in legends, forgetting everything after drinking the Meng Po soup, starting anew.

Without a fortunate encounter, this situation might have lasted a lifetime, his soul never fully restored even at the moment of death. However, fortunately, the Thirteenth Young Master was struck by lightning this time, causing his separated soul to merge once more.

The current Thirteenth Young Master was Ye Lang. He would possess the memories of his original life, and also those of his current life, as these were experiences he had personally lived through, not inherited memories, but his own true experiences.

He wasn't a soul-snatcher; he was reincarnated. He clearly felt the emotions between himself, Tiger Girl, Ye Lanyu, and Long Anqi – feelings he could never forget in this life. This wasn't like watching a story.

This now explained the Thirteenth Young Master's peculiar condition: why his intellectual development had always lagged, yet his brain function was extraordinary. It was precisely because of this missing piece of his soul.

Now that his soul was complete, he would no longer be the simpleton he once was. He would be a normal person, moreover, one with the experiences of two lifetimes. He would have an advantage over others, seeing things with greater clarity.

"Sister, you've gotten smarter too," Ye Lang said with a light smile.

"Of course, your sister is exceptionally intelligent and gifted... Wait, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I was stupid before?" Ye Lanyu, who had been proudly boasting, suddenly noticed the smile on Tiger Girl's face and immediately understood Ye Lang's implication.

"No, how could I? How could I say that my exceptionally intelligent sister was..." Ye Lang shook his head, denying it and putting on a foolish act. He had used this act for over a decade and was very skilled at it.

"You... I suspect you were faking it when you acted foolish for me," Ye Lanyu said, hitting Ye Lang lightly. "But I like you this way! I like it when you're silly." With that, she hugged Ye Lang, pressing her small face tightly against his.

"Mmm, I think you were cuter before too," Seventh Princess chimed in.

"It's all the same. No matter what you're like, Mom loves you," Long Anqi said with a smile. A mother wouldn't mind if her son was a genius or an idiot.

"Uh..." Ye Lang was now genuinely taken aback. "Then how about this, I'll just pretend to be foolish from now on, and you all forget what just happened."

If they wanted him to be foolish, he would act foolish for them. Then they would see who couldn't handle it.

Actually, pretending to be foolish was quite fun. Ye Lang had even considered continuing to play dumb before. But he felt it was pointless to let people treat him like an idiot for no reason. Even if he were to pretend, he would at most pretend to be normal, not an imbecile.

Besides, he didn't want to deceive any of the four women present. He didn't want to pretend in front of them. Of course, some secrets could be kept; everyone had their own secrets.

"Then there's no need. Why would you act like an idiot for no reason? I don't expect you to be a genius; I just want you to live a normal life," Long Anqi said gently, her words carrying a touch of warmth.

"Genius, that word seems unrelated to me. A normal person..." Ye Lang's eyes revealed a sense of emotion. In his previous life, he had remained ordinary until the end. In this life, even wanting to be ordinary would be difficult.

At this moment, Ye Lang suddenly had a strange realization. Perhaps being an ordinary person might be better, but that was impossible for him now.

Given the Ye Family's influence, even a member with ordinary talent and status could not be truly ordinary. Moreover, he seemed to be the grandson of the current family head, a part of the Ye Family's core.

Why overthink things? Status was status; it couldn't lock him in. He could still do whatever he wanted.

Ye Lang shook his head, dismissing his chaotic thoughts. Then he declared his primary goal for the future, a goal that would see him defeat all four women present, leaving them utterly helpless against him.

"From now on, I want to be a prodigal son who squanders his fortune!!"

In the end, he still wanted to be a spendthrift, to continue down the path of extravagance and even elevate it, bringing glory to his ancestors...

Bringing glory to his ancestors – only he would think that such wasteful behavior could bring honor. Normally, such actions would make the Ye family ancestors jump out of their graves in anger.

However, his extravagance was sometimes amusing, with unexpected results, which also made him feel quite depressed.

Take the people present, for example. Tiger Girl was the result of one of his extravagant acts, perhaps the most profitable one in his countless acts of squandering.

"Tiger Girl, from today onwards, we'll sleep together again at night, until..." Ye Lang dropped a bombshell, stunning the four women present. He seemed to have more to say, but no one paid much attention at that moment.

Not long after, the four women seemed to understand what he had left unsaid...

"You little rascal, you've indeed gotten smarter, knowing to sleep hugging your Tiger Girl." Long Anqi naturally didn't mind. After all, Tiger Girl was Ye Lang's female slave, and this was considered a relatively normal phenomenon.

"You just want to hug Taiya and don't want me, your sister, huh!" Ye Lanyu was a little jealous, but she wouldn't stop it, a playful smile on her face.

"Ye Lang, how dare you want another woman to sleep with you in front of me? We're getting a divorce!!" This was Seventh Princess's angry outburst, but everyone knew it was feigned.

"Divorce? We're not even married yet," Ye Lang corrected.

"Marriage is just a matter of time," Seventh Princess said with a smile.

"Then suit yourself. Divorce if you want," Ye Lang said fearlessly.

"You... Hmph..." Seventh Princess was exasperated.

As for Tiger Girl's response to this, there were only two words:

"Okay!"

He was only thirteen years old, so sleeping together wasn't a big issue. But would someone think that way? Was he really just asking Tiger Girl to sleep beside him, or did he have other intentions?

Or perhaps, he belonged to the group with special preferences? After all, his mind was that of an adult, so theoretically, he should.

The answer to these questions was that, in fact, for a period of time afterward, although Ye Lang slept with Tiger Girl every night, he only held her, without any other actions. Of course, natural physiological reactions didn't count.
