80: I'm busy with my free time! I'm worried about finding a man.

"So close, yet so far. If you miss it, you truly miss it!"

In her mind, her father's words echoed endlessly.

Ye Xinyan had unknowingly arrived at Ye An's courtyard.

"Sister Xin Yan, why are you here?"

Seeing Ye Xinyan, Ye Ying Er and Ye Tonger hurried over to greet her.

Ye Xinyan then snapped back to reality and quickly said,

"Oh... Young Master Ye said he wanted to help out at the shop!"

"I came to ask him when he plans to go!"

Ye Xinyan casually made up an excuse.

Ye Ying Er and Ye Tonger exchanged glances, then smiled.

"Sister Xin Yan, it seems you don't know yet!"

"My husband can't go today!"

"That's right, my husband just said he would personally act as Protector for Sister Xin Lian today!"

"He won't be going anywhere!"

"Protector?"

Ye Xinyan was stunned, then suddenly remembered something.

"Could it be Xin Lian's Spiritual Root?"

Ye Ying Er nodded.

"My husband doesn't know where he got a Superior Spiritual Root, and he said he wants to repair Sister Xin Lian's Spiritual Root!"

"My husband is so good to Sister Xin Lian!"

Ye Tonger also said enviously,

"That's right!"

"That's a Superior Spiritual Root; anyone with such a Spiritual Root won't be too weak in strength!"

"My husband is incredibly good to Sister Xin Lian!"

"Ye An is righteous; isn't he also very good to you?"

Ye Xinyan said, feeling a little envious in her heart.

Ye Ying Er and Ye Tonger smiled and nodded.

"My husband is indeed very good to us too; he has taught us Formation and Alchemy more than once!"

"It's just that our Spiritual Root is limited, and our intelligence isn't too high!"

"So we've never been able to learn it!"

"That's right, but the more this is the case, the harder we must Cultivate!"

"We can't let down our husband's trust!"

Ye Xinyan felt a pang of discomfort and said,

"Then you two work hard too. Since Ye An has plans today!"

"I'll leave first. I'll also go to the shop and tell Sister Mier in advance!"

With that, Ye Xinyan left first... Meanwhile, inside the room.

Ye An was indeed sitting cross-legged opposite Ye Xinlian.

But at this moment, the two were looking at each other, both somewhat disbelieving the scene before their eyes.

To allow Ye Xinlian to repair her Spiritual Root with peace of mind,

Ye An had indeed said that he would not see anyone today and would personally act as Protector for Ye Xinlian.

But what he didn't expect was that this Spiritual Root repair was so fast!

He had originally thought it might take a whole day, which was why he had announced that he would not see anyone today.

But who would have known that this girl, Ye Xinlian, completed the repair of her damaged Low-Grade Spiritual Root in less than ten minutes after starting!

He didn't know if the Superior Spiritual Root was too powerful for her.

And as her Spiritual Root repair was completed,

At this moment, only that Superior Spiritual Root remained suspended beside her.

From time to time, wisps of Spiritual Root essence floated out from it, then slowly drifted into Ye Xinlian's body.

"Husband, I'm really fine!"

"The Spiritual Root has been repaired, but the time it takes to absorb the Superior Spiritual Root is a bit long!"

"Why don't you go attend to your own matters first!"

Seeing Ye An staring intently at her, Ye Xinlian felt a little embarrassed.

Ye An sighed helplessly.

"Although the Spiritual Root repair is complete, the process of absorbing the Spiritual Root is still very important!"

"It might even allow your Spiritual Root to Breakthrough into the Middle-Grade Spiritual Root level in one go!"

"We can't be careless!"

Although he said so, Ye An was also a bit helpless.

Because this waiting time was indeed too boring.

Unlike Spiritual Root repair, where he could observe and gain experience.

This absorption process was not only boring but also long.

But he couldn't just leave; he wouldn't be at ease.

Yet, just sitting there, he felt sleepy.

"Why not earn some merit points? I'm idle anyway!"

As soon as he thought of this, Ye An suddenly smiled and said,

"Xin Lian, anyway, absorbing the Spiritual Root will still take a lot of time!"

"No one else will disturb us today!"

"Why don't we..."

Looking at Ye An like that, Ye Xinlian's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she shyly said,

"But it's broad daylight; what if someone breaks in? How embarrassing!"

"Husband, why don't we wait until night?"

Ye An was stunned and said,

"Oh, you're shy when no one's around during the day?"

"But at night, with Ying Er and Tonger lying next to you, you're not shy?"

"Husband!"

Ye Xinlian's pretty face grew even redder upon hearing this.

Ye An, however, smiled and said,

"I understand!"

"How about this, husband will take you somewhere!"

"I guarantee once we're there, you won't be shy anymore!"

"Ah? Where?"

Ye Xinlian asked curiously.

Ye An merely smiled, and the next moment, he disappeared from the spot with Ye Xinlian.

When they reappeared, the two had already arrived inside the storage ring...

Inside the storage ring, it was precisely where Qin Ruyan and the others were temporarily residing.

As Ye An and Ye Xinlian appeared, Beishan Blood Rage and Qin Ruyan quickly came forward to greet them.

"What is everyone doing?"

Ye An asked, looking at the three.

"Reporting to Boss, we got a lot of things from ransacking the Chen family earlier!"

"According to Sister Ruyan's arrangements, we are currently sorting them out!"

"We're organizing the unnecessary items to hand over to you for disposal!"

Beishan said.

Ye An nodded upon hearing this and smiled.

"Well done!"

"You all continue! I need to speak with Ruyan about something!"

"Yes!"

Beishan responded, then left with Blood Rage.

Ye An then looked at Ruyan and said,

"Lianer isn't resting well outside, and she's currently improving her Spiritual Root, so I brought her here to rest for a while!"

"You can help me act as Protector for her!"

Qin Ruyan was very clever and instantly understood Ye An's meaning, smiling.

"Husband, rest assured, no one dares to disturb me here!"

"Sister Xin Lian, let's go inside!"

Ye Xinlian clearly didn't know that Qin Ruyan was already Ye An's woman.

She still looked somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Ye An smiled and said,

"Ruyan's background is pitiful, so I took her in!"

"Wife shouldn't mind, right?"

Ye Xinlian smiled and said,

"Husband is a Dragon among men; Xin Lian naturally understands!"

"In the future, I'll also trouble younger sister to take care of husband!"

"What are you saying, elder sister? We're all sisters from the same family; this is what Ruyan should do!"

Watching the two get along harmoniously, Ye An couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, the women in this Cultivation World are understanding and reasonable. If this were in his previous life, they would have probably started fighting by now.

The Cultivation World is good; if you're strong, you can do whatever you want!

While Ye An and Qin Ruyan were acting as Protector for Ye Xinlian,

Ye Xinyan also sent someone to the shop, preparing to inform Ye Mi'er in advance... In the shop.

Ye Mi'er was sitting at a table, staring blankly at the pond outside the window.

The maid beside her, seeing this, also asked worriedly,

"Young Miss, you've been in low spirits since returning from the Main Family yesterday!"

"What exactly happened?"

Ye Mi'er said irritably upon hearing this,

"What happened? What else could have happened!"

"I'm thinking about a man, of course!"

"Ah? Young Miss, you can't just say things like that!"

"What if someone hears you...?"

"So what if they hear? There are so many women in the Ye family; I'm not the only one thinking about a man!"

Ye Mi'er said carelessly,

"I'm almost thirty years old. Although Cultivators have long lifespans, that's still not good enough!"

"After thirty, what can I use to compete with those younger women?"

"I already don't have an advantage in age!"

"I finally met a Ye An and thought he was quite good!"

"But before I could even say two words, Aunt Qin sent me back!"

"How could I not understand Aunt Qin's intentions? She just wants Ye Xinyan to marry Ye An!"

"Why did she send me back? What if Ye An likes me more!"

"It's infuriating!"

As Ye Mi'er was speaking, suddenly, a shop assistant's voice came from outside the door.

"Sister Mier, the Family Head asked me to deliver a message!"

"Young Master Ye An, the Husband who lives with wifes family of the Ye family, will be coming to help out at the shop these next few days!"

"Please be sure to receive him well!"

Hearing this, Ye Mi'er was instantly stunned, then rushed directly to the doorway.

She grabbed the shop assistant's collar and said,

"What did you say?"

"Tell me again!"
