Su Binglan was Ye Chen's first woman, and he harbored a special affection for her, so he did not hide anything from her, laying it all out without reservation.
The experiences that Ye Chen spoke of left Su Binglan repeatedly astounded and incredibly incredulous.
The cave dwelling Ye Chen described was simply a magical fantasy world, and Ye Chen, the odd one out, was the protagonist of that world. He had slept with so many girls and obtained so many treasures. In the end, he even clashed with several invincible figures and came out on top—his achievements brought glory to his ancestors and fame to himself!
Ye Chen and Su Binglan talked into the night, and finally fell asleep in each other's arms.
From the deep night to the day, Ye Chen woke up hazily, looked around the room, and then went back to sleep.
The cave dwelling's environment was too harsh, and Ye Chen had been perpetually on edge, never truly relaxing for fear of being stabbed in the back.
However, here he could relax to the fullest, for this place wasn't that blood-soaked land.
"Thud, thud."
While Ye Chen and Su Binglan were lounging in bed, someone knocked on their room door.
Yet, Ye Chen was indifferent and continued to lie in, as Su Binglan was still in her sweet dreams.
"Bang bang!"
As Ye Chen and Su Binglan did not respond, the knocking from outside became more frantic.
"Who do you think that is outside?" Su Binglan spoke in a whisper, eyes still closed, knowing that Ye Chen was also awake.
"It's not Wen Rou!" Ye Chen's eyes remained closed.
"How do you know." Su Binglan scooted closer into Ye Chen's embrace.
"Wen Rou is very gentle; this person knocking on the door is somewhat violent," Ye Chen said as if he were an analyst.
"I know who is knocking on the door," Su Binglan said.
"Hmm?"
"It's Li Yan. I sent her a message last night telling her you were back," Su Binglan said.
"You're wrong, the person outside is Zhang Xinlan," Ye Chen said.
"Impossible!"
Ye Chen and Su Binglan lay embraced, and even though they had already woken up and were discussing who the visitor was, they simply did not feel like opening the door.
"Su Binglan, hand Ye Chen over to me!" Zhang Xinlan's voice came through the door into the room.
"How did you know it was her?" Su Binglan asked in surprise.
"I can sense her aura; everyone's aura is different. The moment she stepped into the villa, I knew who it was," Ye Chen said, now having reached a mystical martial prowess and possessing some peculiar abilities.
"Well, then you go open the door for her," Su Binglan pushed Ye Chen, indicating she did not want to move and suggesting he should be the one to open the door.
"You go open the door," Ye Chen didn't want to move either.
Ye Chen felt somewhat apprehensive in his heart. As soon as he had left the cave dwelling, he went to find Su Binglan and only sent a message to Zhang Xinlan late at night to inform her of his return.
Zhang Xinlan saw the message, rushed over early in the morning, and Ye Chen feared she might have come wielding a kitchen knife.
"I don't want to go," Su Binglan said.
"Then what should we do?"
"Let her hang out there for a while."
"..."
Ye Chen was somewhat apprehensive about Zhang Xinlan, while Su Binglan completely ignored her. As a result, Zhang Xinlan was sadly left hanging outside.
"Ye Chen, are you in there? Come out!"
"Su Binglan, hurry up and open the door and let me see if Ye Chen is inside!"
"The two of you, get out here!"
Su Binglan kicked the door furiously with her foot, but the people inside remained indifferent, and her foot began to hurt from the kicking.
"Zhang Xinlan, you're being very noisy!" Wen Rou, dressed in pajamas, came over.
"Wen Rou, is Ye Chen inside?" Zhang Xinlan asked Wen Rou.
Zhang Xinlan and Su Binglan had dealt with each other quite a bit, and she was very familiar with Wen Rou, so their meeting wasn't the least bit awkward.
"In there," Wen Rou said, yawning and nodding.
"Then why isn't anyone answering the door?" Zhang Xinlan was somewhat suspicious.
"If you were with Ye Chen and Su Binglan went to answer the door, would you let her in?" Wen Rou said.
"..." Zhang Xinlan's face stiffened.
"Bang!" Zhang Xinlan kicked the door with her foot, but she was wearing high heels, which made her stagger and nearly fall over.
"Stop kicking the door. It's fine if you hurt yourself, but what if you break the door?"
"..."
"Here, I have the keys. I'll go open the door for you," Wen Rou said, handing over a set of keys.
"Why didn't you say you had the keys earlier!" Zhang Xinlan said, a bit annoyed.
"I let you into the villa, so I took the keys with me. Isn't that the same as giving them directly to you?" Wen Rou said.
"Thank you," Zhang Xinlan said.
"Don't mention it. The reason I got the keys for you is because I want to see you and Su 'the witch' fight."
Wen Rou rubbed her eyes and smiled at Zhang Xinlan, her expression tinged with anticipation.
"..."
Wen Rou's eagerness to watch the drama made Zhang Xinlan's face turn cold.
You become like those you associate with, and sure enough, there were no good people around Su Binglan!
"Squeak."
Zhang Xinlan, with an expressionless face, used the keys to open the door.
However, when she opened the door wide, Zhang Xinlan was somewhat stunned to see a pile of gold and silver treasures.
"These, these things!" Wen Rou was also stunned, looking at the heap of treasures.
Both Wen Rou and Zhang Xinlan had high standards and recognized the extraordinariness of these treasures: the gold knives, ancient swords, bright pearls, and curios... all were rare and precious items, each one worth a fortune, yet here they were, piled up on the floor.
"I was in this room just yesterday and didn't see any of this. Could all of this have been brought back by Ye Chen?" Wen Rou looked around the room, her face full of disbelief.
"Ye Chen!" Zhang Xinlan said coldly.
Ye Chen and Su Binglan were still lounging in bed, seemingly unaware that someone had broken in.
"Ye Chen, get up for me!" Su Binglan picked up a pillow and threw it at Ye Chen. "After you left that day, you disappeared for a month. Where on earth did you go? I demand a straight answer!"
"You're back and don't come looking for me, but instead, you head straight for Su Binglan's place. Do you still have me in your heart?"
Anger spread across Zhang Xinlan's pretty face. Had she been too harsh previously, causing Ye Chen's feelings for her to wane?
But before Ye Chen disappeared, he had clearly forgiven her.
"..."
Ye Chen had been gone for a month, as if he had vanished off the face of the earth, without a trace of messages.
This left Zhang Xinlan panicked, feeling like each day was a year, almost convinced that Ye Chen didn't want her anymore.
Now that Ye Chen had returned and hadn't come to find her first but instead went straight to Su Binglan's, it nearly drove Zhang Xinlan to the brink.
Tears streamed down Zhang Xinlan's face, which made Ye Chen's heart ache.
"How is Liu Shihua doing now?" Ye Chen asked.
After appeasing Zhang Xinlan, Ye Chen casually mentioned Liu Shihua, wanting to catch up on the famous star's recent circumstances.
Before entering the cave dwelling, Ye Chen would occasionally call Liu Shihua to soothe the frightened star and share some feelings.
However, Ye Chen had been cut off from the world for a month, without contacting anyone, and his thoughts lingered on Liu Shihua.
"Liu Shihua calls me every day. She's living a more carefree life than anyone," Zhang Xinlan said.
"Calling? When did you two get so close?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.
