Chapter 395: Ye Ye Xiaoying's Demand for Accountability
"Husband, wake up, you're crushing my chest, I can't breathe!"
Early the next morning, Lin Fan was shaken awake by Li Li Qingluo. Lin Fan had been pressing against Li Li Qingluo's chest all night, and she was nearly suffocating.
"Sorry, Li Qingluo, it's just so comfortable to use that as a pillow!"
Lin Fan scratched his head in embarrassment, then looked around and found that Huang Rong and the others were already up, curiously admiring the various exotic creatures in the aquarium.
"Alright, let's go back to the palace to wash up and have breakfast!"
Lin Fan clapped his hands to draw the women's attention.
"We need to bathe too, we feel all sticky!"
The women said in unison.
"Then let's bathe first!"
Lin Fan waved his hand and led the women to the waterfall behind the palace. They all had deep internal energy to protect their bodies; they could even bathe in the cold pool at the top of the mountain, so this ordinary spring water had no effect on them.
The women didn't act coy; they took off their clothes and jumped in, playing and splashing around.
Lin Fan sat on a giant rock on the shore, watching with interest, comparing who had the slimmest waist, the firmest chest, and the smoothest skin.
Suddenly, he thought that he looked a bit like Zhu Bajie peeking at the Spider Spirits bathing.
"Husband, stop watching and come down to wash too!"
Lin Lin Chaoying called out to Lin Fan, who was dazed on the shore.
"Coming, my dear!"
Lin Fan took a running start, spun 1080 degrees in the air, and plunged into the pool. He saw a high-definition, uncensored 8K view; every frame was comparable to the most beautiful sight in the world. The pleasure of it is beyond words.
"Mother, where did you go last night?"
When Lin Fan brought the women back to the main hall, Xiaozhao immediately ran over, hugged Dai Dai Qisi's leg, and asked.
"Mother had things to attend to last night. Was Xiaozhao a good girl?"
"Xiaozhao was very good. After you left, I went back to my room to sleep."
"Mm, well done!"
Dai Dai Qisi interacted with Xiaozhao; the mother and daughter were very close.
In the original story, to escape the pursuit of the Persian Ming Cult, Dai Dai Qisi had no choice but to disguise herself as Granny Golden Flower, and Xiaozhao had to be sent to the Ming Cult as a servant, hoping she could act as a mole to obtain the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth. Their relationship was far more distant than it is now.
"Caidie, Hongyu, is breakfast ready?"
Lin Fan turned to ask the maids of the Purple Orchid Pavilion.
"Young Master, Hua Yunu said they are responsible for breakfast today!"
"Yes, Young Master, we have already prepared the morning meal. Shall we serve it now?"
Hua Yunu walked over to ask Lin Fan. Seeing him nod, she immediately led the women to start serving the dishes.
"Everyone must be hungry, eat up!"
Seeing the women not picking up their chopsticks, just staring at him in unison, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile and say.
Only then did the women start eating. Fortunately, Lin Fan had moved the entire Moving Flower Palace inside, adding seventy-two maids; otherwise, the eighteen maids from the Purple Orchid Pavilion would have been exhausted trying to cook for over eighty people.
It was also fortunate that Huang Rong had renovated the kitchen so it could accommodate dozens of people cooking at once; otherwise, even with more people, not having enough stoves would have been useless.
However, Lin Fan still planned to teach them how to use modern kitchenware in the evening—rice cookers, gas stoves, pressure cookers—all of which could be arranged to make things much more convenient in the future.
"Qingfeng, Xu Weixiong, Xu Zhihu, you three come with me. Today I'll take you home to visit."
"Alright!"
After the meal, Lin Fan said this to Xu Xu Weixiong, Xu Xu Zhihu, and Huishan Xuan Yuan Qingfeng, and the three women nodded and went to change their clothes.
As for Li Li Hanyi and the others, they didn't need Lin Fan to tell them; they had already changed, as they hadn't left Snow Moon City yet.
Then, Lin Fan took his seven women out of the small world and returned to Snow Moon City.
"Lin Fan, you guys actually snuck away yesterday, leaving me alone to deal with the guests?"
Not long after they appeared, Lin Sikong Changfeng ran over angrily.
"Oh, Dad, those who can do more should work more! Besides, last night was your daughter's wedding night, how could I waste time socializing with guests!"
Lin Sikong Lin Sikong Qianluo immediately grabbed Lin Sikong Changfeng's arm and acted spoiled.
"You, you... once you get married, you don't even know who you're siding with anymore. I've raised you for nothing."
Lin Sikong Changfeng shook his head helplessly; it really is true that a daughter grown up is like water spilled.
"Dad, look at what you're saying. Before I was married, my heart was already with Brother Lin; it's not like it changed only after I got married!"
Lin Sikong Lin Sikong Qianluo said nonchalantly.
"You, you... forget it. Now that you have a place to belong, Dad can rest easy. However, Grand General Ye Ye Xiaoying has arrived and is waiting to see Lin Fan and Ye Ye Ruoyi. You should go to the reception hall to meet him!"
As he spoke, Lin Sikong Changfeng gave Lin Fan a gloating look. That's what you get for flirting everywhere—now the father has come knocking on your door, right?
"My father is here? Then I'll go take a look!"
Ye Ye Ruoyi's expression shifted, and she ran toward the reception hall impatiently.
"In that case, I'll go take a look too!"
Lin Fan rubbed his nose. He had tricked Ye Ye Ruoyi away and even married her, yet he hadn't even met her father. Now that he had come to demand an explanation, it was truly a bit awkward.
But no matter how awkward, this matter had to be faced; it was the responsibility a man should have.
After saying this, Lin Fan followed Ye Ye Ruoyi toward the reception hall. With one step, he landed right behind Ye Ye Ruoyi, who had run quite far ahead.
"Father!"
Ye Ye Ruoyi arrived at the reception hall and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a dignified expression sitting upright in a chair, so she called out loudly.
"Ye Ruoyi, you're here! Hmph!"
Ye Ye Xiaoying saw Ye Ye Ruoyi and greeted her with a beaming smile.
But when he noticed the young master following behind her—though he didn't recognize him, he didn't need to think to know it was the Young Master of Heavenly Secrets, Lin Fan, who had stolen his daughter—he immediately lost his pleasant expression and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"What's wrong, Father? This is my chosen husband, why are you giving him such a look!"
Ye Ye Ruoyi was initially confused as to why her father's attitude had changed so drastically, but when she followed his gaze and saw Lin Fan behind her, she suddenly realized and then pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Your chosen husband? You're satisfied, but why am I so unhappy? I told you to recuperate in Snow Moon City, and not only did you run off with him, but you also married him last night without even notifying me, your old father! If I hadn't come today, wouldn't I have been completely left out of the loop?"
Ye Ye Xiaoying glared at Lin Fan with dissatisfaction, and Lin Fan smiled helplessly.
"That wouldn't have happened, Father. We were planning to visit you today anyway. Besides, my illness has already been cured by my husband; I'm healthier than ever now!"
"Really? Then did you marry him out of gratitude for saving your life? How foolish, Ye Ruoyi! We could have compensated him with other things; you didn't have to sacrifice yourself!"
Ye Ye Xiaoying was overjoyed to hear that his daughter's health had recovered. Ye Ye Ruoyi's congenital heart defect was incurable, and she could have passed away at any moment. He had exhausted all his resources and found no way to treat it, so he hadn't expected her to be fully recovered.
