Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 92 Su Rou's Shyness

The night passed without incident, and the next morning dawned.

After the rain, a mist enveloped Gusu City; perhaps because the heavy downpour from the previous night had washed away the dust in the air, making the atmosphere in the city much fresher.

Ye Ling had awakened early and was now sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating with his eyes closed.

Even though he had reached the legendary Imperial Dao realm, relentless cultivation no longer served much purpose for him.

However, years of cultivation habit meant that even after Ye Ling entered the Imperial Dao realm, he couldn't break this routine.

Waking from sleep at the first glimpse of dawn on the eastern horizon and then beginning a day of cultivation had been Ye Ling's daily rhythm for many years.

True Qi ebbed in and out of Ye Ling's mouth, a mysterious aura wrapping around him, giving off an intrepid aura that discouraged others from making a sound and disturbing the man before them.

"Brother Ye, are you awake?"

Before long, Su Rou's voice came from outside.

Ye Ling slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "I am awake!"

With that, he got up and opened the door.

Seeing Ye Ling dressed and ready for the day, Su Rou revealed a smile and said softly, "Brother Ye, I've prepared breakfast for you. It's on the table downstairs!"

"Hmm, I'll be right down."

Ye Ling replied with a nod and a smile.

Seemingly feeling a bit shy alone with Ye Ling, Su Rou turned and hurried downstairs.

Watching her retreat, a rich smile curved Ye Ling's lips.

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Ye Ling strode downstairs.

Ye Jiu and several others were still cultivating in a corner of the hall, like ascetic monks.

Noticing Ye Ling's arrival, Ye Jiu and the others immediately woke from their cultivation and stood up respectfully calling out, "My lord!"

"Hmm, you've all worked hard during this time." Ye Ling nodded slightly.

Su Rou, standing to the side, spoke softly, "I've made breakfast for everyone... if you don't mind, let's eat together?"

At these words, Ye Jiu and the others' eyes instantly shone with brilliance.

Their excited expressions were almost comparable to that of an ordinary person who just won a five-million-dollar jackpot.

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law!"

"Although I haven't tasted the breakfast made by sister-in-law yet, just the smell wafting over has me drooling already!" Chen Dao said heartily.

The others shook their heads in agreement, busily praising Su Rou's culinary skills as undoubtedly exceptional.

They might not have Chen Dao's way with words, but they too conveyed their thoughts clearly.

Seeing the excitement on their faces, Su Rou's cheeks flushed slightly, a look of embarrassment on her face.

She had only made a pot of plain congee and some side dishes, yet these people spoke of it as if it were a supreme delicacy...

"Alright, sit down and eat."

Ye Ling, noticing Su Rou's discomfort, immediately spoke up.

Upon Ye Ling's invitation, Ye Jiu and the others didn't dare to chatter any longer and promptly took their seats at the table, sitting upright as if they were schoolchildren being watched by their parents during a meal!

Su Rou went to the kitchen to bring out the pot of congee, then took several bowls and served a bowl for each person.

Ye Jiu and the others, ravenous as if reborn from starved spirits, didn't care about the steaming hot congee in their hands and just drank it down!

Their eagerness was such that you would think what they held was not bowls of hot congee but rather bowls of cooled plain water.

They hadn't even touched the side dishes on the table before the bowls of congee were completely drained.

"This... should I go cook another pot for you?"

Su Rou was also startled by the ravenous way the others were eating, and as she looked at the empty pot in her hands, she spoke up.

Ye Jiu and the others hurriedly waved their hands, saying they were already full.

It was a joke, after all; Su Rou was their lord's fiancée!

To cook a pot of plain porridge for them was already an honor, how could they dare to ask for a second?

"Don't mind them, they're just a bunch of starving ghosts reincarnated."

Ye Ling glanced at them and said with a light laugh.

Looking embarrassed, Ye Jiu and the others scratched their heads, then stood up, said a word to Ye Ling, and left the villa!

They were determined not to be the third wheel, a conviction they all shared!

"Ye Big Brother, was the plain porridge I cooked really that delicious?"

Su Rou looked at Ye Ling, asking hesitantly.

Ye Ling nodded with a smile and replied, "Of course, it tastes much better than what those so-called chefs prepare outside!"

"Really? If Ye Big Brother likes it, shall I make it for you every day?"

Su Rou blinked her watery eyes and said with a smile.

Ye Ling nodded slightly, then his expression became serious and he said, "Rou'er, after today, I will be heading to the Southern Border."

"Do you want to come with me?"

At those words, Su Rou's expression changed, and after a moment of silence, her cheeks flushed a light red as she whispered softly, "Do you wish for me to go, Ye Big Brother...?"

"Hmm? Of course, I wish for you to come with me!"

Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

Su Rou's face grew even redder as she kept her head down and dared not look at Ye Ling, murmuring in a low voice, "Since Ye Big Brother wishes for me to come, then I will follow Ye Big Brother..."

"The preliminary work at the foundation has already been taken care of, and with Family Head Hu presiding over the foundation, there shouldn't be any accidents..."

Perhaps to ease Ye Ling's worries, Su Rou added that explanation.

Seeing the flush that had spread to her neck, Ye Ling's smile deepened.

A foundation was just a foundation after all; even though the assets of several major families combined was a terrifying sum, Ye Ling didn't have his heart set on the money.

To him, money was merely a number.

As the Northern Liao King, the ruler who defended Northern Liao, why would he care about such a thing as money?

The breakfast ended quickly, and Su Rou had not dared to look at Ye Ling from start to finish.

After Ye Ling had finished eating, she immediately began to tidy up the dishes on the table.

Watching Su Rou's busy figure in the kitchen, Ye Ling shook his head with a smile, got up, and left the villa!

Ye Jiu and the others were standing in the courtyard, their gazes drifting skyward, all pretending to be oblivious to the situation inside the villa!

"Ye Jiu, He Feng, you two stay at the villa to protect Su Rou."

"The rest of you, come with me to Ba Tang; before we leave Gusu City, we should settle the affairs there."

"It's time to see what the so-called Qiankun War King is made of!"

Ye Ling looked towards Ye Jiu and the others and spoke plainly.

Hearing this, Ye Jiu and the others immediately turned solemn, withdrew their gazes, and turned to look at Ye Ling!

"Yes, my lord!"

Chen Dao and the others responded at once.

Ye Jiu and He Feng also patted their chests and assured him, "Don't worry, my lord, as long as we live, your wife will not encounter any trouble!"
