After a night of nourishing rain, the air in Bailong Village was tinged with a refreshing coolness. A gentle breeze caressed the skin, making for a very pleasant morning.

Chen Erbao snuck back home along the small path and found Chen Dabao and Fang Yun eating breakfast.

"Er Bao, come eat."

Fang Yun beckoned with her delicate, pale hand.

Chen Erbao sat down at the table, picked up his bowl, and started wolfing down his food.

"Where were you last night?"

"Which young lady's bed did you sleep in this time?"

Chen Dabao and Fang Yun asked at the same time.

Chen Erbao looked embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and said evasively,

"At a friend's house."

Chen Dabao just said, "Oh," and didn't press further.

He knew his little brother always had his own mind, so he never meddled in these matters.

Fang Yun, however, put down her bowl and chopsticks and said seriously,

"Er Bao, I know things fell apart with you and Chen Jiaqi, but you're not getting any younger. You should start paying attention and see if there are any suitable girls out there!"

Chen Erbao didn't say anything to that, just kept his head down and ate.

'Of course I'm not getting married.'

'If I don't get married, I can have countless girlfriends. If I do get married, I'll be tied down for good!'

He knew which option was better for him.

"I think Xiaorui next door is a good choice. We know her family, she's pretty, and she's educated. She's a good match for our Er Bao."

Fang Yun said, talking more to herself.

Chen Erbao thought to himself, 'Xiaorui is already mine, shaped to my liking. Of course she's not getting away.'

'But I can't say that to Fang Yun. If she runs over to the Lin Family to propose marriage, I'll be totally screwed.'

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. My career is just getting started. When I want to find a wife in the future, it'll be a piece of cake!"

Hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and said,

"That's true. Er Bao is handsome, educated, and can make money... Chen Jiaqi's family must be regretting it something fierce. They're not well-liked in the village anymore. To be honest, it's kind of pitiful..."

Chen Erbao pursed his lips.

Chen Qing had completely brought it on himself; he was a total scumbag.

He even tried to sell his own sister to a gangster.

He was lucky I didn't beat him to death.

As for Chen Jiaqi, he had completely let her go.

In truth, if Chen Jiaqi's mother hadn't been giving her bad advice, their two families would have been joined by marriage by now. It was a shame she had no mind of her own and just listened to whatever anyone said.

After breakfast, Chen Erbao went to the backyard and saw that the precious herbs were flourishing more than ever.

The rain last night had been plentiful, and the Spiritual Qi in the air had increased significantly. The effect of the Five-Turn Spirit Gathering Array was obvious; the air in the entire backyard was now filled with the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs.

Several large wolfhounds squatted obediently to the side, their tongues lolling out as they wagged their tails.

"Brother Er Bao!"

A clear, crisp voice called out from the gate.

Chen Erbao looked up to see Lin Rui's pure and beautiful face.

After yesterday's transformation, Lin Rui had completely changed from a young girl into a woman. Looking closely now, he could see a hint of alluring charm in her eyes that wasn't there before, making her even more captivating.

Chen Erbao smiled, stood up, and opened his arms.

Lin Rui glanced around shyly. Seeing no one else, she skipped over to Chen Erbao and they embraced.

Holding her soft, delicate body in his arms, Chen Erbao unconsciously found himself reacting.

"Brother Er Bao, it's still morning..."

Lin Rui naturally knew what was pressing against her lower abdomen, and her face flushed red with embarrassment.

Even though they had bared everything to each other yesterday, she was still easily flustered.

Chen Erbao planted a kiss on Lin Rui's cheek with a SMACK.

"Xiaorui, I bought you several pairs of stockings. They'll arrive in a couple of days. You have to wear them for me then!"

Lin Rui's face was flushed crimson.

"Okay!"

The two chatted for a while when they suddenly heard his sister-in-law's voice, which sounded a little urgent:

"Er Bao, someone's here to see you!"

Chen Erbao and Lin Rui went to the front yard and saw a worried expression on Fang Yun's face.

"Oh, Xiaorui is here too... Er Bao, there are a few men in suits at the gate. They look really fierce and say they're looking for you, that they have something to discuss."

Fang Yun thought they were here to cause trouble again. The last incident with Chen Qing's family had left a lasting fear.

Chen Erbao waved his hand dismissively.

"You two wait here. I'll go take a look."

Lin Rui and Fang Yun nodded obediently and stayed put.

Chen Dabao emerged from the woodshed nearby, a wooden stick in his hand.

"Er Bao, what's the word?"

"Don't worry, Brother Da Bao. I can handle it."

So far, when it came to fighting, he had never been afraid of anyone.

With clothes on or off!

"Oh."

Chen Dabao turned, tossed the stick aside, and went to feed the dogs with the leftovers.

If Chen Erbao said he could handle it, Chen Dabao believed him unconditionally.

Chen Erbao reached the entrance, opened the main gate, and his gaze first fell on the two Bentleys parked outside. Then he looked at the five burly men in suits and sunglasses standing beside the cars.

"You're looking for me?"

He stepped outside and asked, his mind racing to figure out their purpose.

"You're Chen Erbao?"

The brawny man in the lead asked in a booming voice.

Chen Erbao's brow furrowed.

'Why the arrogant tone?'

"I am. And you are?"

"Our young master wants to see you."

After speaking, the brawny man bent down and opened the Bentley's door.

A pale, skinny young man stepped out of the car. He sized up Chen Erbao, a trace of disgust showing in his eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am the son of the Hongyuan City Inspector General. My name is Yan Ye."

"Oh. What do you want?"

Chen Erbao's eyesight was terrifyingly sharp now, so he naturally noticed the disgust in the man's eyes.

Hearing Chen Erbao's simple "Oh," Yan Ye was displeased.

'Back in the city, whoever saw me would have to respectfully call me Young Master Yan. But now, in this remote village, it's like my status has lost its halo!'

'These backwater places are full of unruly peasants!'

Yan Ye thought to himself, but his face was all smiles.

"There is a small matter. Shall we talk in the car?"

He wouldn't deign to discuss business in this kind of crude country house; it would ruin his mood.

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost."

He had already guessed where they were from. They were probably Liu Xian's people.

Once he cultivated the medicinal herbs, the Medicine King Hall would have his back. He couldn't care less about Liu Xian.

Yan Ye's brow furrowed, and the smile vanished from his face.

'This country bumpkin... a three-million-yuan Bentley is something he'll never get to touch in his life. Letting him get in to talk is an act of charity, and he doesn't even know how to speak properly!'

The bodyguards on either side noticed the change in Yan Ye's expression. They stepped forward and said in a low, threatening voice,

"Watch your tone when you speak to our Young Master! Do you have any idea what being the Inspector General's son means?"

Chen Erbao was losing his patience. He looked coldly at Yan Ye.

"Are you fucking nuts? Blocking my gate first thing in the morning and expecting me to get in the car with you? Who the hell do you think you are? Is being the Inspector General's son such a big deal? You got an extra nose? Or an extra dick?"

Yan Ye's face instantly darkened.

"Brat, you have the guts to say that again!"

The bodyguards began to walk toward Chen Erbao, subtly surrounding him.

Chen Erbao let out a cold laugh.

"I said, you're a dick!"
