Chapter 181

Upstairs, Jiuyue listened to Su Lin, Xiaoyu, and Xiaowan laughing and chatting downstairs, feeling somewhat envious. She wished she could join their laughter and conversations, but Jiuyue knew it wouldn’t be possible anytime soon. Just as she was about to speak, Su Lin’s phone rang beside her.

Jiuyue picked up the phone and saw it was a call from Su Zhenguo, which startled her, but she felt too embarrassed to call Su Lin up to answer it.

“Su Lin, your phone is ringing.”

Hearing Xiaowan’s reminder, Su Lin smiled, “The phone is upstairs, I’ll go up and get it. Is Xiaoyue in your room?”

Su Lin nodded, “She needs to rest now, so please don’t disturb her. I’ll be right back.” Saying so, he went upstairs.

“Xiaoyue, no need to pretend to be asleep anymore?”

Jiuyue, not noticing Su Lin’s arrival at the doorway, looked annoyed, “Who’s pretending to be asleep? It’s your dad’s call, hurry up and answer it.”

Su Lin nodded and took the call.

“Kid, where are you?”

“Dad, I’m at home. What’s up?”

Hearing Su Lin’s response, Su Zhenguo’s breathing became heavier. He had arranged to meet Su Lin at a teahouse downstairs and had been waiting for an hour without seeing Su Lin, which prompted him to call.

Unbeknownst to Su Lin, he had completely forgotten about his arrangement with Su Zhenguo and felt somewhat embarrassed, “Dad, I’m sorry, there was a bit of an accident, so I came back early.”

“Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that. I’ve been sitting in this teahouse for an hour. You think ‘I’m sorry’ is enough to dismiss me? Do you know how busy I am?”

Jiuyue, sitting nearby, covered her mouth to hide her laughter, enjoying the sight of Su Lin being scolded.

Su Lin glanced at her, and Jiuyue returned a playful grimace, her bright little fangs gleaming adorably.

Su Lin smiled helplessly, “It was really an accident. How about tomorrow? I’ll bring the things over to you. Will you be at the company tomorrow?”

“Yeah, I will be. What kind of good stuff are you planning to bring me this time?”

“Definitely something very good. By the way, dad, where is your company in Donghai?”

Su Zhenguo looked exasperated, “You little rascal, you don’t even know where our family company is?”

“Uh… shouldn’t that be your fault?”

Su Zhenguo fell silent. Su Lin was right; he had indeed been too neglectful of Su Lin. Previously, he was too busy to spend much time with Su Lin, and now Su Lin had grown up and didn’t need him to worry anymore.

But fortunately, their relationship had improved quite a bit, especially Su Lin’s attitude towards him, which had gotten much better.

“Alright, send me the address later, and I’ll stop by tomorrow.”

“Sure, I’ll have my assistant send it to you right away.”

After hanging up, Su Lin looked at Jiuyue, “Amusing, was it?”

Jiuyue looked at Su Lin’s stern gaze, shook her head instinctively, and shrank a bit.

Seeing her reaction, Su Lin laughed, “Why so afraid of me? I won’t eat you. Xiaowan and the others have also come back. Don’t you think it’s time to meet your sisters properly?”

“Ah! No, no, I can’t. I’m not ready.”

“Laughing at me now, are you? Rest assured, Xiaowan and the others are easy to get along with. You got along fine at the treasure pavilion today. That settles it then, I’ll go down and call them up.” Su Lin moved to act.

Jiuyue immediately grabbed Su Lin’s arm, “No, you can’t go.”

“Still laughing at me?” Su Lin said lightly.

Jiuyue shook her head vigorously, “No more laughing.”

“Alright, I’ll let you off this time. But if there’s a next time, see how I deal with you.”

That evening, Jiuyue finally couldn’t resist the hunger and went downstairs to eat. Zhao Yanyan had already gone home, so only Xiaoyu and Xiaowan were downstairs.

Jiuyue got along well with Xiaowan; the two excitedly chatted again. Su Lin, uninterested in their conversation, summoned the system on the sofa.

“System, Xiaoyue is a heroine, why no reward?”

[Host, Jiuyue’s affection level has not yet reached the full value of one hundred. Keep up the effort.].

Su Lin was puzzled, “Xiaoyue knows about the other women, and she didn’t seem to mind much. How could her affection not be full?”

[Host, trust that the system’s algorithms are the most accurate in the universe. There are no mistakes.].

“Alright, let’s do a draw.”

[Ding~! Congratulations, Host, for drawing twenty years of pure internal energy, available for immediate use.]. [Ding~! A rare treasure emerges, congratulations, Host, on obtaining the skill – Vajra Indestructible Technique.].

With the influx of internal energy, Su Lin felt his meridians widen again, successfully breaking through from the early stages of a grandmaster to the later stages.

Su Lin estimated that the twenty years of pure internal energy was equivalent to forty years of normal cultivation, effectively doubling his capacity.

He now felt incredibly powerful, confident that even if a human immortal were to come, he could stand a chance with the Taiyi Divine Needles and Vajra Indestructible Technique.

After digesting the rewards, Su Lin turned to Jiuyue, “It’s getting late, Xiaoyue, shall I take you home?”

“Su Lin, it might not be convenient for Xiaoyue to go back like this,” Xiaowan hesitated a bit.

Given Jiuyue’s condition, it would be obvious to anyone what had happened.

Jiuyue blushed and glared at Su Lin.

“How about this, Xiaoyue, you call home and say you’re staying out for the night?”

Jiuyue hesitated, “I’ve never stayed out overnight before. I don’t know if my grandfather will agree.”

“Just try calling. If he doesn’t agree, we’ll figure it out.”

Jiuyue nodded and took out her phone to call Qin Deshu.

“What did your grandfather say?”

Jiuyue looked at Su Lin oddly, “My grandfather asked if I was with you. I said yes, and he agreed. But…”

“But what?” Su Lin was curious.

“He said you should come over to our house tomorrow.”

“To your house, that manor?”

Jiuyue nodded, “Yes, there.”

“Strange, what does your grandfather want with me going to your house?”

“Su Lin, are you really clueless or pretending? Now that Xiaoyue’s grandfather has allowed her to stay over, it means he’s acknowledged your relationship with Xiaoyue. Inviting you over is obviously to formally meet you and give you a warning,” Xiaowan explained.

Su Lin had an epiphany, “So that’s it.”

“Hmph, sometimes you’re too clever, and other times you’re as dense as a block of wood. I wonder if your intelligence is just an act,” Xiaowan teased.

Su Lin laughed, “I just didn’t think about it that way. Xiaoyue’s grandfather is no ordinary person, so I was naturally a bit worried.”

“Hehe… thinking too much made you dumb.”

Ignoring Xiaowan, Su Lin pondered for a moment, then said, “Then I’ll accompany you to your house tomorrow. What if he tries to break us up?”

Jiuyue scoffed at Su Lin, “I’m already yours, what can be done? Of course, I’ll follow you, but that is if you have the ability that you can take me away with you.”

Su Lin confidently replied, “That’s definitely not a problem. If I decide to take you away, nobody can keep you.”

“Xixi…” Jiuyue gave Su Lin a thumbs up.

Seeing Su Lin’s heroic posture, Xiaowan joked, “Enough with the heroics, go wash the dishes.”

Su Lin looked at the dishes on the table and immediately worried, “Wife…”

“Calling me wife won’t help, this is your punishment, and you’ve agreed to it,” Xiaowan stated plainly.

Jiuyue, somewhat confused, looked at Xiaowan, “Xiaowan, what punishment? Why are you punishing Su Lin? What did he do wrong?”

“That…”

Xiaowan and Xiaoyu looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Su Lin stood up, “I’ll leave you to chat. I’ll go wash the dishes.”

Thinking to himself, a grandmaster in charge of billions, the heir of the Su Corporation, was resigned to washing dishes, Su Lin felt a chill. Especially since Xiaowan and Xiaoyu, out of shyness, wouldn’t let him hire any cleaning staff.

“Ah… being a man is hard.”

Hearing Su Lin’s sigh, Xiaowan and Xiaoyu covered their mouths to stifle their laughter. After he entered the kitchen, the two explained to Jiuyue why Su Lin was being punished.

Jiuyue laughed along, declaring the punishment well-deserved!
