"I'm sorry!" Ye Xiao looked at Ryokawa Hemei with some regret.

Ryokawa Hemei said, "To be honest, I'm a bit upset, but it's something that can't be helped. I can only blame myself for not thinking it through when I made the vow, giving you an opportunity. Haven't you thought of a new name for me?"

Ye Xiao listened to Ryokawa Hemei's words and couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, no matter who you are, you'd be upset in such a situation. It wasn't easy for Ryokawa Hemei to accept it so calmly.

Ye Xiao certainly didn't want to dwell on the topic, so when he heard Ryokawa Hemei mention the new name, he immediately said, "How about Liuu Hemei?"

"Liuu Hemei!" Ryokawa Hemei murmured, seeming to think for a moment before saying, "No good."

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiao was a bit puzzled. To him, Liuu Hemei was very close to Ryokawa Hemei's original name.

"Since I'm changing my previous name, I want to discard the old one. If it's similar to before, then it's not really a change." Ryokawa Hemei said.

Ye Xiao looked puzzled. Holding a bowl of medicinal porridge, he gently blew on it and said, "Then what should the name be?"

"Who are you asking?" Ryokawa Hemei immediately gave Ye Xiao a sideways glance.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment, looked at the porridge in his hand, and then at Ryokawa Hemei. "Hemei, from now on, your name will still be Hemei."

"That's not okay!" Ryokawa Hemei said, "That would be a constant reminder of who I used to be."

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "No, because you have a new surname now—Xin, as in 'hardship'. So, you shall be called Xin Hemei, meaning the new Hemei."

"The new... Hemei?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, she was somewhat moved.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, the new Hemei. From now on, you are no longer Ryokawa Hemei. In other words, Ryokawa Hemei died in today's battle, and who exists now is a Yan Country person, Xin Hemei."

Ryokawa Hemei, or rather, she should be called Xin Hemei now.

Xin Hemei nodded slightly at Ye Xiao's words. She was satisfied with this name; Ryokawa Hemei was dead, and now she was reborn as Xin Hemei.

At this moment, she felt a tinge of sadness, as after all, Beihai Country was the place she had lived in, perhaps she would never return or see her relatives from there to avoid suspicion.

Xin Hemei was a stubborn person, and it was this stubbornness that made her oath effective.

Even Ye Xiao found it hard to imagine that Xin Hemei was someone who took vows so seriously.

Ye Xiao gently blew on the medicinal porridge and then carefully fed it to Xin Hemei.

The two of them didn't say anything more, just looked at each other.

Ye Xiao also felt conflicted inside, as he wasn't sure what would happen in the future as a result of this. Of course, he hoped that nothing would happen and that everything would turn out well.

Because Xin Hemei's body was still very weak, after she finished the small bowl of medicinal porridge, Ye Xiao wished her some rest.

After that, Ye Xiao left the room.

Xin Hemei lay alone in the room, staring at the ceiling.

In her urgency, she felt a bit lost. Throughout her life, she had never truly experienced the feeling of family. Because of her extraordinary talent, ever since she became aware, her foster father had subjected her to rigorous training, the kind of high-intensity training that many times almost drove her to the point of wanting to die. But her foster father's whip never ceased, instead pushing her to train over and over again.

That period was the source of Xin Hemei's pain. No matter what, she couldn't understand why her foster father was so harsh on her. It wasn't that she hadn't seen her foster father train others, but only with her it was as if she was an enemy. However, regardless of her foster father's intentions, ultimately, Xin Hemei lived up to expectations. As her potential was continuously stimulated, she became the most outstanding genius in Beihai Country in hundreds of years and was the pride of the Liuchuan family.

Yet, this was also Xin Hemei's first time leaving Beihai Country, as under her foster father's rule, Xin Hemei was absolutely forbidden from leaving Beihai Country unless for an important matter. And this time, it was because the genius Martial Artist Qiushan He had been killed in Beihai Country, and the Mountain Wolf Group suffered significant losses. Xin Hemei repeatedly requested an opportunity to go on trials. But even Xin Hemei herself didn't expect that she would leave never to return. Perhaps once the Liuchuan family learns about this, there will be an uproar.

Of course, as the former Ryokawa Hemei and the current Xin Hemei.

She couldn't care less about that.

She just wanted a family, someone she could rely on, and that vow was also Xin Hemei's heartfelt wish.

Interestingly, many people knew about this vow, as Xin Hemei didn't hide it. And the Liuchuan family didn't worry, because they absolutely did not believe that someone like that would appear anytime soon with Ryokawa Hemei being only twenty-two and having already reached the Earth Rank Middle Stage, which was practically a once-in-a-millennium genius.

It could be said that no one believed Xin Hemei's vow could come true.

But the Liuchuan family never expected that in the noble Yan Country, a boy under twenty appeared, someone whose strength skyrocketed due to continuously obtaining super secret spells, surpassing even the genius Xin Hemei.

This is what people call fate!

If Xin Hemei had appeared here half a month earlier, Ye Xiao would have been at her mercy. However, Ye Xiao was no longer the Ye Xiao he used to be; he consumed the Dragon Blood Strengthening Pills, an earth-shattering pill, thus reaching a breakthrough in strength.

If Xin Hemei knew about this, she would surely be furious.

Xin Hemei didn't know why, but at that moment, she felt extremely relaxed because she knew that no matter how many female confidants that man had, he would definitely risk everything for her if she were ever in danger.

Xin Hemei tilted her head and looked out the window.

Compared to last night's storm, tonight's moonlight was exceptionally bright.

The most interesting thing was that on the night she swore an oath, the moonlight was just as bright, and it was also when she successfully advanced to the Earth Rank. At that time, Xin Hemei made the oath for two reasons: first, because of her loneliness, and second, her desire for true family affection or love.

Of course, what others saw was only her aloofness. At that time, Xin Hemei was like a lonely wolf deprived of companionship.

Things were different now. She had found the man who met her stringent standards.

Xin Hemei knew this was not an easy feat. Perhaps, out of more than six billion people in the world, there was only this one. If she missed him, there might not be another.

"Xin Hemei, you must be happy!" Xin Hemei softly said as she looked at the bright moonlight, then closed her eyes.

Now, let's turn to another story!

Ye Xiao walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Does it taste alright?" Wang Luoxin asked as she looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "It's delicious, she finished it all."

"Didn't she say it was bitter?" Wang Luoxin asked.

"Bitter?" Ye Xiao responded, puzzled, and said, "She didn't. Why? Is it bitter?"

"I forgot to add sugar!" Ye Ziyan apologized with a smile.

Wang Luoxin said, "There's only white sugar here, and white sugar is cooling, so adding sugar isn't actually beneficial."

"Hurry up and eat the noodles, I'm starving," Jiang Miaoke said with a laugh.

With that, everyone began preparing to eat the noodles.

"Where is Zhou Hao?" Ye Xiao noticed someone missing from the room and asked curiously.

"He left, but he just grabbed a little something to eat before he did," Cheng Yun said.

"That's good," Ye Xiao said.

At this point, Ye Ziyan laughed and said, "Do you even need to worry about that? Zhou Hao already has someone to care for him now."

Ye Xiao heard Ye Ziyan's words and glanced at Cheng Yun, then gave an understanding look.

"Ye Ziyan, do you think you'd die if you didn't speak?" Cheng Yun glared at Ye Ziyan.

Ye Ziyan just laughed cheekily, looking completely unconcerned.

Afterward, everyone gathered at the table. The noodles were Jiangmiang noodles, made by Ye Ziyan, Cheng Yun, Xia Mingyue, and Jiang Miaoke, and they tasted fantastic.

Ye Xiao looked at this group of beauties and suddenly realized that his latter half of life would likely be very happy, especially when it came to food.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Ye Ziyan suddenly interrupted Ye Xiao's thoughts.

The others also looked at Ye Xiao.

"Nothing, really," Ye Xiao dodged the question.

"But you just looked at Sister Mingyue, then Sister Luoxin, and then at Miaoke," Ye Ziyan said without any hesitation.

As soon as Ye Ziyan finished her sentence, everyone turned to look at Ye Xiao, clearly wanting to see what the heck Ye Xiao was up to.

Ye Xiao was somewhat speechless. Having such a sister was both a blessing and a curse.

However, it seemed he still needed to smooth things over for himself.

"Oh, I was just thinking about how Fang Jing hasn't appeared all day. I hope nothing happened," Ye Xiao quickly came up with a casual excuse.

"Sister Jinger?" Ye Ziyan, hearing Ye Xiao's words, also curiously looked at Xia Mingyue and said, "Sister Mingyue, my brother's right. Where's Sister Jinger? Why hasn't she been around, and there's been no call either."

Actually, Xia Mingyue had been wondering all day where Fang Jing had gone. Although Fang Jing had texted her saying she went to the Liu family, now it had been such a long time, how could there be no phone call?
