I don't know when it started, but Lin Yuanxi became very obedient and spoke her mind without reservation.

Although Yang Ning has traveled through twelve years, his understanding of the local culture is still not deep enough, and he can only conclude that love has made him blind.

Fortunately, Lin Yuanxi is a traditional woman and wants to save her first time for her wedding night; otherwise, he might have really had to spend the night here.

"Brother, do you really not want to drop out of school?" Leaning against Yang Ning, Lin Yuanxi asked softly, "If you want, you can join Taiheng directly."

"Let's not talk about it then, Tianma Company needs to develop in Seacloud City!" Yang Ning held the girl's little hand. "But I'll come to see you often!"

"Mmm!" Lin Yuanxi nodded happily.

Although Lin Yuanxi was nine years older, she was actually taller than Yang Ning, who was 1.76 meters tall. The two snuggled together for a long time before finally parting with reluctance.

Then Yang Ning rode a crane and left Red Maple Mountain.

"Miss, stop looking! If you keep looking, you'll turn into a statue waiting for your husband!" Xiao Huan waved her hand in front of Lin Yuanxi.

"He gave me another new poem!!" Feeling the lingering warmth of his body, Lin Yuanxi smiled and said proudly.

"What word?" Xiao Huan asked.

"The wispy clouds weave patterns, the shooting stars convey sorrow, and the Milky Way stretches far and wide in secret. A single meeting in the golden autumn breeze and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world."

"Tender feelings flow like water, a beautiful time is like a dream, how can I bear to look back on the road to the Magpie Bridge! If our love is destined to last, why should we care about being together every day and night?" Lin Yuanxi recited softly.

"Beautiful lyrics!" Xiao Huan nodded emphatically.

"You know words too?"

"I've listened to you read it every day, Miss. You should understand it by now!"

"Then tell me, what's so good about it?"

"I don't know what's so good about it, I just know it's good!"

"Hmph, Hu, huh?" Lin Yuanxi suddenly looked up and saw a Myriad Dragon Flag flying in from a distance, with a flamboyant young man in a brocade robe standing on it.

"Yuanxi, let me in!" Lin Tianheng shouted irritably as he stood outside the protective formation of Red Maple Mountain.

"What is it, Fourth Brother?" Lin Yuanxi asked from across the room.

"Huh?" Lin Tianheng sensed something was off. He usually called him "brother," so why was he calling him "fourth brother" today?

He didn't know that the term "brother" would be used specifically to address one's lover during the Yuanxi, but he didn't think much of it; fourth brother it is then.

"I heard that Yang Ning has come? And even entered your sect? What's he doing here?" Lin Tianheng asked.

"Oh, he wanted to start a chamber of commerce and just borrowed some money from me!" Lin Yuanxi said.

"Why did he ask you for money?" Lin Tianheng asked, puzzled. "Do you two know each other?"

"Have you forgotten? A month ago at the Ascension Academy, I offered him a few words of blessing, and he immediately assumed I liked him!" Lin Yuanxi said with feigned sneer.

"Heh, that's how people from small places are. They think someone likes them just because someone smiles at them. They don't even know what kind of people they are!" Lin Tianheng agreed wholeheartedly. He didn't think that his sister, whom even Wang Jue looked down on, would be interested in Yang Ning. However, he couldn't see Lin Yuanxi's face gradually darkening inside the formation.

"By the way, you didn't lend him any money, did you?" Lin Tianheng asked again.

"Why not lend it?" Lin Yuanxi countered. "Although his cultivation is ordinary, he is still quite clever. A little gold and silver can make him work for me, so why not?"

"That's true!" Lin Tianheng nodded, then added, "However, people from small places like this are easy to climb the social ladder once you get attached to them. You can use him, but don't get too close to him. Just leave everything to Xiao Huan. Don't go to see him in person and give him any unrealistic fantasies!"

Xiao Huan, barely suppressing a laugh, retorted, "What unrealistic fantasies? Your little sister's already been hooked!"

"Fourth Brother, I understand!" Lin Yuanxi gritted her teeth in anger, but still managed to maintain a smile.

She knew Lin Tianheng's attitude towards Yang Ning, so she was determined not to expose their relationship. She didn't want to bring danger to her Brother Ning!

However, we can't just let it go like this!

"That's for the best. Since you're alright, I'll be going now!" Lin Tianheng turned to leave, but Lin Yuanxi called him back.

"What's wrong?" Lin Tianheng turned around and found that the formation of Red Maple Mountain had also been activated.

"When Yang Ning came, he gave me a chess set, which is quite fun. Fourth Brother, would you like to play a few rounds with me?" Lin Yuanxi invited.

"Chess? What's that?" Lin Tianheng scratched his head, but since it was his sister's invitation, he might as well come.

After a while, looking at the black pieces that had now formed a continuous line, Lin Tianheng started scratching his head.

No, this Go game doesn't look that difficult, how could I lose so badly?

Yuanxi smiled, "I know you're good at it, but can the Calamity Annihilation Heavenly Origin Steps' be used on the chessboard?"

My Heavenly Spirit-Word Spell is a top-tier auxiliary Divine Ability, making my chess game feel like it's divinely aided!

However, Lin Yuanxi then realized that even using her Divine Ability, she still couldn't defeat Brother Ning.

How can he be so amazing? He can write poems and lyrics that make him famous in Taiheng, invent things that can revitalize a country and cause a sensation in a city, create his own style of painting, and establish his own school of music. He can even carve out his own path in the 300,000 years of luck that Taiheng has used up!

Looking at Lin Tianheng scratching his head in front of him, Lin Yuanxi couldn't help but shake his head again. Apart from family background and cultivation level, his fourth brother was simply useless compared to Brother Ning!

"Isn't this considered fooling an honest person?" On the other side, on the crane, Deep Blue also asked Yang Ning.

"Hmm, how can you say that?!" Yang Ning shook his head. "I've always treated her with sincerity. What word of hers have I ever lied to?"

At most, some of the truth was not told.

"Hmm," Deep Blue remained silent.

"Besides, I really like her!!" Yang Ning said earnestly.

The saying "a woman pursuing a man is as easy as piercing a thin veil" applies here.

"Don't rush!"

"Why would I be in a hurry? You're the one who slandered me first! I'm young, and she doesn't have a boyfriend. Is there a problem with us dating?"

"No problem, I was just asking!"

"Asking won't work either. How do rumors originate? Don't they start with ambiguous questions?"

"Sigh!" Yang Ning rolled over and lay on the crane, looking at the star-filled sky.

Deep Blue is myself.

Deep Blue's doubts mean that he has questioned his own decision.

But Yang Ning is only in his second life as a human, and his age in both lives adds up to less than 40. He's still a sunny and cheerful young man!

How can you possibly choose the right option every time?

The only option left is to make a choice and then move forward steadfastly.

At most, it just means having a few more backup plans!

"Ding-dong!" A sharp sound suddenly rang out from the Deep Blue, Yang Ning immediately perked up.

This notification sound is unusual; it's a special sound that only plays when several high-sequence tasks set by Yang Ning are completed.

The last two times it rang out were when the Purple Gold Coiling Dragon Body and the Crimson Dragon Crimson Cloud Strength reached the Great Perfection of the Body Refinement Realm.

"What is it? Have you also mastered the White Dragon Swallowing Absorption Technique?" Yang Ning asked.

"Even better news!" Deep Blue's voice was tinged with excitement. "The Bacteriophage Robot have discovered Uranium Mine in the southern part of the continent belonging to the Yingzhou Loose Immortal Alliance!"

"Holy crap!"
