193: On the night of parting, Ye An took the initiative to throw himself into his arms!
That night, both of them drank a lot of wine.
However, for them, it was still the same—no matter how much they drank, as long as they didn't want to get drunk, they naturally wouldn't.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two sat in the courtyard, chatting idly.
Ye An asked,
"I haven't asked you yet, where are you from?"
"You came to the Xu Family mine to dig at such a young age; is your family doing alright?"
Leng Yue was stunned by the question.
Then she lowered her head and said,
"My home is in Jia City. My family is doing alright, I suppose!"
Ye An asked curiously,
"Where is Jia City?"
"You don't know?"
Leng Yue was surprised.
Ye An laughed,
"To be honest, I've never left Jianglan City!"
"In my life, I only know three places: White Province City, Jianglan City, and Ye Family Pass!"
"Ah?"
Leng Yue was shocked to hear this.
She clearly couldn't believe that Ye An had never left Jianglan City.
"With your talent, you've only been active in these few cities!"
"If you were to visit more places in the future, your strength would only grow stronger!"
Ye An laughed,
"Perhaps!"
Seeing Leng Yue lower her head, Ye An couldn't help but ask,
"What's wrong? Are you upset that you might not be able to kill me in the future?"
Leng Yue gave Ye An a glare and said,
"You're insane. I'm going to rest! Get me a bucket of hot water!"
"Oh!"
Ye An responded.
To be honest, after getting along these days, Ye An quite liked Leng Yue.
Aside from her fiery temper, she had no other flaws.
Thinking about it, it made sense; she left her home alone at such a young age!
And she was mixed in with a group of grown men in the mine!
If her temper were any better, she'd be bullied to death... A moment later, in the room.
Leng Yue finished washing up and looked at Ye An, who was sitting by her side in a daze. Leng Yue spoke,
"Tonight..."
Ye An snapped back to reality and laughed,
"Don't worry, we can leave tomorrow!"
"Tonight, I won't bother you!"
"You rest, I'm leaving!"
Ye An said, preparing to leave.
However, to his surprise, he had only taken two steps when Leng Yue grabbed his arm.
"Hmm?"
Ye An turned his head, looking at Leng Yue in surprise.
Leng Yue's cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head, saying,
"Tonight... stay!"
Ye An was stunned and asked in surprise,
"I don't think I used... Stealing Fragrance Finger, did I!"
"You're..."
Leng Yue's pretty face turned even redder at his words, and she said indignantly,
"Just stay when I tell you to stay, why so much nonsense!"
After speaking, Leng Yue directly pushed Ye An onto the bed, then blew out the candle nearby!
Perhaps it was because they were about to part, but that night, both of them were a bit wild.
Fortunately, this was in the room!
It wouldn't affect anyone!
Otherwise, the birds in the bamboo forest would suffer again!
... The night passed uneventfully.
The next morning, in the plaza.
Before Ye An and Leng Yue, a vortex floated!
Ye An said,
"Enter this vortex, and you can leave the mine area!"
"Remember, come find me after you're done!"
"I'm at Ye Family Pass, Xinye Manor!"
"Mm!"
Leng Yue nodded, then walked towards the vortex.
Manor Elder looked at this scene and also sighed with emotion,
"The Master was like this back then!"
"Leaving affection everywhere, but no results anywhere!"
"I hope your affection will bear fruit!"
Ye An laughed,
"That's for sure, but I'm not like your Master!"
Manor Elder smiled at his words, then asked,
"Oh, right!"
"You clearly passed the Formation assessment yesterday, why are you only sending her away today!"
"I..."
Ye An was immediately speechless.
Even Leng Yue, who had already entered the vortex, turned her head to look at him.
Leng Yue's pretty face instantly turned red.
Goodness, he passed the test yesterday, so that means...
This guy could have sent her away yesterday!
But he deliberately waited an extra night!
Was it just for...
"You're a pervert too!"
Leng Yue couldn't help but say.
Ye An also said with an embarrassed expression,
"Originally, I wanted to be a pervert!"
"But I didn't expect you to make the first move in the end!"
"This isn't my fault, is it!"
"You! I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Leng Yue said, and without looking back, disappeared into the vortex.
Only her lips were almost curving up to her ears!
... Leng Yue still left.
And Ye An didn't delay either. After Leng Yue left, he also bid farewell to Manor Elder and left Flying Star Manor... Meanwhile, in the mine pit.
Liu Bairan was sitting cross-legged in a secret chamber within a mine pit.
This secret chamber was filled with blood-red jiao bloodstone.
And at this moment, several jiao bloodstones were placed in front of Liu Bairan.
From these jiao bloodstones, faint red threads continuously emanated, then were absorbed into Liu Bairan's body.
And these threads were clearly the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi contained within the jiao bloodstone.
And dozens of such jiao bloodstones were already scattered around.
However, these scattered jiao bloodstones had all lost their blood color.
Clearly, all the essence within them had been absorbed by Liu Bairan.
At a certain moment, Liu Bairan opened her eyes.
And her aura instantly underwent an earth-shattering change.
If her strength before was like a lake, then at this moment, her strength.
It was already like a vast ocean.
"Mahayana Realm, I've finally recovered to the Mahayana Realm!"
"It wasn't in vain to cultivate in seclusion for nearly a month!"
Liu Bairan showed a satisfied expression!
However, just as she was about to further consolidate her strength.
A message suddenly came from her communication stone!
Liu Bairan was also startled upon receiving the message and quickly got up to leave the secret chamber... Inside the mine.
In one of the largest mine pits.
Liu Bairan indeed saw Ye An!
At the same time, Qin Ruyan and Li Han, among others, naturally appeared.
Seeing Ye An return safely, Qin Ruyan immediately threw herself into Ye An's arms.
Unlike Liu Bairan's aloof personality, Qin Ruyan was truly devoted to Ye An.
Li Han, who was nearby, did not speak, but a hint of barely perceptible envy flashed in her eyes.
"Alright, haven't I returned!"
Ye An rubbed Qin Ruyan's head, comforting her.
Liu Bairan, who was nearby, asked,
"Where did you go?"
Ye An laughed,
"It's a long story; I'll tell you all the details later!"
"How are things here?"
Qin Ruyan quickly said,
"We have completely taken control here!"
"The Xu Family doesn't know yet!"
"And we've utilized all available manpower, the mining output this month has been astonishingly large!"
"Every extra day we occupy it means another day of profit!"
Li Han, who was nearby, said,
"It's just that this situation probably won't last much longer!"
"This month, we sent people to contact the Xu Family twice!"
"The Xu Family Head seems to have noticed something and might personally visit the mine soon!"
Ye An smiled at her words.
"No matter!"
"You all pack up; we're preparing to go back!"
"Oh, right, how are Beishan and Blood Rage?"
Ye An asked.
Qin Ruyan quickly said,
"This month, with the cultivation of various resources, their strength has also improved!"
"They have all broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Ye An nodded at her words.
"Very good!"
"Have them lead people to stay here!"
"Then release all the Xu Family miners!"
"Release them?"
Everyone was stunned by the news.
Even Liu Bairan looked bewildered.
"Once they are released, the Xu Family will definitely receive the news!"
"We won't be able to hold onto this mine pit anymore!"
Qin Ruyan quickly said.
Ye An, however, laughed,
"This mine pit will always be here; it can't be held onto forever!"
"But now, whether the Xu Family knows or not, this mine pit belongs to us!"
"Watch closely!"
Ye An finished speaking and slowly raised his hand!
And in the next moment, the entire mine pit began to shake!
The shaking lasted for less than ten seconds!
Soon, someone rushed out of the mine pit, shouting,
"This is bad! The ore vein is gone!"
