Signing the Divine Vassal Contract

At this moment, Luo Rou had finished bathing and was lying in bed.

Looking at Yang Fan, she directly ordered, "Take your medicine, bathe, get into bed, and get to work."

Her attitude was as if she were assigning tasks at work, making Yang Fan roll his eyes.

"Do you know Luo Mingxuan?" Yang Fan suddenly asked.

At the mention of that name, Luo Rou's expression changed slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed through her eyes. "Did he cause you trouble?"

Seeing the change in Luo Rou's expression, Yang Fan inwardly thought, Just as I expected.

He had only just joined the Luo Family and had not even recognized everyone yet. How could he have offended the other man? The only possibility was that his wife had some history with him.

"Not exactly trouble." Yang Fan shook his head.

"Luo Mingxuan's talent is mediocre, but both his parents are First-Order Gods. He was a year below me. Before my Divine Kingdom was damaged, he pursued me, but I rejected him.

"Later, after my accident, Grandpa wanted to give me a larger dowry on account of that past relationship and have us marry so we could have a child.

"But he grew disgusted with the idea. Not only did he demand the core assets of Grandpa's Divine Kingdom as part of the dowry, but he also wanted a clause in the prenuptial agreement stating that he would bear none of the future child-rearing expenses.

"That caused some unpleasantness between our families. He is probably hostile toward you because of that."

Luo Rou did not hide anything. As she looked at Yang Fan now, there was a trace of apology in her eyes.

Hearing this, Yang Fan could not help marveling at how the offspring of powerful families could devour people without even spitting out the bones.

Not only did he shamelessly demand a huge dowry, but he did not even want to raise his own child.

"Who the hell are you? Is your DNA really that valuable?"

No wonder the prenuptial agreement Luo Chengfeng had written for him was so favorable to an outsider like him. So there had been a precedent.

"Don't worry about it. Rest assured, I'll definitely cure you someday." Yang Fan gently kissed her, then went to the bathroom to bathe.

Once he got under the covers, Yang Fan immediately rolled over and pressed himself atop Luo Rou.

"It didn't hurt as much today. Do whatever you want," Luo Rou said softly.

Seeing her look as though she were at his complete disposal, Yang Fan wanted to show off his prowess, but considering her condition, he chose to be gentle.

"Rou'er, I'm planning to have a friend over for breakfast tomorrow," Yang Fan said afterward.

"Mm, sure." Luo Rou waved a hand. She was already too tired to move.

After sending the villa address to Zhang Pang, Yang Fan held Luo Rou and drifted into sleep.

Early the next morning, Sun Rong's voice came from outside the bedroom door.

"Fan'er, Little Zhang is here. The food will be ready soon. Get up when you and Rou'er are awake."

Yang Fan answered, then began getting dressed with Luo Rou.

"Is this friend important? Should I put on makeup?" Luo Rou asked.

Having grown up in a powerful family, Luo Rou cared greatly about etiquette. Although Yang Fan came from an ordinary background, he was now her husband. In front of outsiders, she would still do her best to preserve his dignity.

"He's my best friend, so there's no need to be too formal. Casual clothes are fine. Even though there's a huge gap between our statuses now, relationships between people aren't based solely on benefits. There are always those rowdy friends from your youth who, once you grow up, can still sit at a street stall and eat barbecue together, whether you become a God or a Divine Lifeform," Yang Fan explained.

Luo Rou looked at Yang Fan in surprise. Her opinion of this scumbag who put profit above all else improved by the slightest bit.

In the living room, Zhang Pang was completely at ease, tapping here and inspecting there among the expensive furnishings.

"Brother Yang, you've really made it. Only Gods and their families are qualified to live in Yangcheng Villa. The living environment really is on another level." Zhang Pang's face was full of envy.

The instant he saw Luo Rou standing beside Yang Fan, Zhang Pang hurriedly straightened up and gave a standard military salute. "Hello, Sister-in-law. I'm Brother Yang's little brother. Sorry for intruding. If you ever have any orders, I'll go through fire and water without hesitation."

"H-Hello," Luo Rou said softly.

It was her first time seeing someone like Zhang Pang. His face was full of flattery, yet his eyes were clear, as if he truly would carry out every word he had said.

"Breakfast is ready." Yang Tiexin called out while helping Sun Rong in the kitchen.

He had watched Zhang Pang grow up as well. After moving into their new home, someone from Moonlight Residential Community had come to visit, and the two elders were both delighted.

"I actually wanted to come mooch dinner last night, but Li Shuhao was treating us, so I'd have been a fool not to take advantage," Zhang Pang muttered through a mouthful of food.

"Treating you? Where?" Yang Tiexin casually asked.

"Heavenly... Heavenly Delight Teahouse. Right, the tea there is really good." Zhang Pang lowered his head, thinking he had nearly let it slip.

"You can drink tea for that long? I really don't understand young people these days."

Zhang Pang did not answer. With Luo Rou sitting beside them, he feared that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

Brother Yang was a married man now. Even if Heavenly Fragrance Haven did not involve physical transactions, in some women's eyes, emotional cheating was still cheating.

Yang Fan had married into the family. Zhang Pang wished he could slap himself twice right then. It was all this loose mouth's fault.

Yang Fan took a bite of the Spirit Fruit on the table and asked, "Did you have something you wanted to discuss in the real world?"

Yang Fan knew this best friend well. When Zhang Pang invited him to dinner yesterday, he had already noticed that something was off about his expression.

"My dad told me to build ties with you as soon as possible and become your Subordinate God. I sent you an invitation in the Virtual World, but you were never there. There were too many people during class and at gatherings, and if you rejected me there, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

With Yang Fan opening the topic, Zhang Pang immediately poured out everything on his mind.

Seeing this, Yang Tiexin and Sun Rong quickly stood up and went into the kitchen.

Over the past few days, they had learned through various channels about their son's performance at school. It was only natural that some classmates would want to become his Subordinate Gods.

The Divine Vassal Contract was extremely important. It was best for the older generation not to listen in on matters concerning the younger generation.

"No problem." Yang Fan agreed immediately.

"Really? You agreed just like that? We haven't even signed the contract yet. My dad said that with your talent, you're very likely to become a God in the future. As long as the Divine Kingdom's resource share isn't lower than fifty percent, I can agree to it," Zhang Pang said bluntly.

Before Yang Fan could react, Luo Rou beside him could barely hold it in any longer.

What was wrong with this man? They had not even discussed the Divine Vassal Contract, yet he had already revealed his bottom line.

"Um... are you two really that close? That's not how Divine Vassal Contracts are negotiated," Luo Rou could not help reminding them.

Luo Rou had once had her own Subordinate Gods. They had negotiated seriously in the Virtual World with 360-degree cameras recording every angle, and it took several hours at minimum to finish.

Yet these two were one after another—one casually agreeing right away, the other immediately revealing his bottom line.

Luo Rou felt that rural people negotiated far too wildly. She wanted to go back to the city.

"We're brothers. If my big brother gets meat to eat, how could he deny me even a sip of soup?" Zhang Pang patted his chest, looking as though he did not give a damn.
