Three Years Passed Quietly—Please Bookmark and Follow

Inside the tiny room stood four burly men surrounding Yu Xiaogang, who was tightly bound to the bed.

After enduring a full three and a half years of torment, he had long since lost all hope for his future.

He did not even know how long it had been since he had last gotten out of bed and walked around.

"Big Brother, I think today is our last day on the job."

"Hm? Is it the last day?"

"To be precise, we have two hours left."

"Uh..."

"Third, Fourth, stop fucking resting! Get ready for one final assault!"

"Yes!!"

"Mission guaranteed!"

"Absolutely!"

As Yu Xiaogang watched the four dark, muscular men surround him so tightly that not even water could pass through, a provocative look appeared on his face.

What storms had Yu Xiaogang not weathered over these past three years?

He... Mmph, mmph.

Elsewhere, in Tang Yuehua's bedroom at Moonlight Pavilion.

Fu Ye had already gotten out of bed. He and Yuehua were practically an old married couple by now.

As for how they had slept together for three years without having children, Fu Ye had explained it to them all.

He was still young and did not want children yet, so he had used a few little tricks.

A Wu said she did not mind, Ah Yin said she did not care, and Yuehua said that as long as Fu Ye continued to love her, that was enough.

Fu Ye could only think, With wives like these, what more could a husband ask for?

After eating the Immortal Herb Fu Ye had given her, the Purple Jade Skysoaring Grass, A Wu's martial soul had changed from a Soft Bone Rabbit into a Phantom Demon Rabbit. She was now a powerful level seventy-three Spirit Sage.

Ah Yin's cultivation was somewhat higher than A Wu's. She had now reached level seventy-nine, just one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo.

Yuehua had no classes today, so Fu Ye had kept her company until dawn. Perhaps because of her accumulated foundation finally erupting, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds over these three years. She was now close to becoming a High-Level Soul King!

Over the past three years, Fu Ye had been running between two places: Tang Yuehua on one side, and Ah Yin and A Wu on the other.

He had not visited Gathering Fragrance Pavilion very often.

As expected, Chen Xin had successfully absorbed a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring as his ninth spirit ring. It was even an extraordinary 150,000-year spirit ring!

After Ning Fengzhi, that Old Fox, learned that Fu Ye had another God-bestowed Spirit Ring, he tried every possible way to buy it. In the end, Fu Ye only gave him one after Ning Fengzhi agreed to help expand Gathering Fragrance Pavilion's business.

That God-bestowed Spirit Ring was then given to Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

Because his martial soul was a Bone Dragon, his physique was even stronger than Chen Xin's. When absorbing his ninth spirit ring, he had directly absorbed an extraordinary 170,000-year spirit ring.

Because of this, Ning Fengzhi, that Old Fox, had invited Fu Ye to dine at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect more than once, but Fu Ye had turned him down every time.

After all, in Fu Ye's mind, Ning Fengzhi was the very image of an Old Fox. One careless move, and he might be schemed against by the man.

Still, he was quite capable when it came to making money. Letting him help manage Gathering Fragrance Pavilion was perfectly fine.

Over three years, Gathering Fragrance Pavilion's territory had expanded by more than double. Ning Fengzhi truly deserved to be called an Old Fox. He had told Fu Ye about Gathering Fragrance Pavilion's future development plans: he intended to use Heaven Dou Imperial City as the center and spread outward to the surrounding smaller kingdoms.

Of course, for now, he had only finished decorating the main branch in the imperial city. Opening branches elsewhere had not yet been put into action.

After leaving Moonlight Pavilion, one could spot a particularly eye-catching building from far away. That was Gathering Fragrance Pavilion.

Gathering Fragrance Pavilion was now more than three times its original size. With its expanded scale, it naturally had far more staff as well.

However, the rules remained unchanged. The front hall received ten percent of the dividends, while the kitchen received twenty percent.

Heaven Dou Imperial City, Gathering Fragrance Pavilion.

Although it had not opened for business yet, the employees on duty had arrived early to clean and tidy the place.

Among them, a red-haired girl was methodically directing the employees in their various tasks. That was Liu Erlong, who had come here to work three years ago.

Thanks to her outstanding abilities, she had now become the deputy manager of the front hall. Though she was only nineteen, she already had the air of a formidable career woman.

Her strength had also advanced further. She had reached level forty-nine, a High-Level Soul Grandmaster, just one step away from becoming a Soul King.

"Oh, Manager Erlong, keeping busy?"

As he approached, Fu Ye greeted her warmly.

"Huh? Big Brother Fu Ye, you're here!"

When Liu Erlong saw Fu Ye arrive, her beautiful eyes practically sparkled with little stars.

"Yeah, nothing much has been going on lately, so I came by to see how things at the restaurant have been."

As he spoke, Fu Ye habitually rubbed Liu Erlong's head.

Liu Erlong's current Favorability: 93%; secret crush hidden in her heart

"Hehe, Big Brother Fu Ye, what do you want to eat? I'll get those uncles in the kitchen to make it for you."

Seeing their deputy manager Liu Erlong reveal such a girlish side before Fu Ye—the handsome, powerful, and wealthy owner—they all wore indulgent smiles off to the side.

Anyone could tell that she liked Boss Fu Ye. Only she herself thought she had hidden it well.

"Mm, have the master chefs inside prepare these for me."

Fu Ye handed her a bag. The contents did not seem particularly heavy.

"Yes! Mission guaranteed!"

With that, she hurried toward the kitchen, while Fu Ye simply found a spacious spot to sit down and wait quietly.

He also liked Liu Erlong's carefree personality. Over these three years, though, every time he came, he would tease this mischievous little girl.

She had lived up to expectations and become deputy manager, while the manager was still Xiao Lan from three years ago. After all, Xiao Lan was more capable.

Before long, Liu Erlong arrived at Fu Ye's table with Xiao Li Zi carrying a tray.

Fish oil from a 3,000-year Bluefin Tuna, three deep-sea Red Jade Shrimp, and two small pieces of blanched Thousand-Year Spiritual Bamboo Shoot.

The meal was very light, a breakfast Fu Ye had carefully selected.

After setting down the tray, Xiao Li Zi tactfully left. After all, he worked under Liu Erlong now, so he naturally knew what his boss was thinking.

His response to that was: This is way too awesome!

"Big Brother Fu Ye, your food is here."

There were only three small dishes in total, but the plate of crystal-clear fish oil, resembling jelly, was the most eye-catching.

After setting down the food, Liu Erlong turned to continue working, but Fu Ye called out to stop her.

"Eat half of this Thousand-Year Bluefin Tuna fish oil. Have one of the Red Jade Shrimp too."

Liu Erlong's Soul Power had already reached the peak of level forty-nine. After eating these, she should be able to break through.

"Ah? That wouldn't be right."

"It's fine. Eat. You haven't had breakfast either, have you?"

"Thank you, Big Brother Fu Ye!" (She instantly sat down across from Fu Ye.)
