But reality was right before him, so at this point, he could only accept it.
Fortunately, he now had the ability to protect Yanyan, and in this life, he was absolutely determined to protect her well.
“By the way, Yanyan, the Xiao Family has completely fallen. Xiao Jue put in quite a bit of effort along the way.” Li Quan thought of this matter and told her about it.
“Xiao Jue only made Xiao Corporation go bankrupt and did nothing else?” Ling Yan found that rather hard to believe.
“That boy sent Xiao Shan and his current wife to prison, and he even arranged for them to be well taken care of there. That boy really knows how to be ruthless.” Thinking about the life Xiao Shan was living now, Li Quan felt extremely satisfied.
He was just glad that the order had not yet completely collapsed. Otherwise, he would have gone over there and killed them himself long ago.
“Uncle Li, how is your Supernatural Ability training going lately?” Every night, Ling Yan would enter the Celestial Realm to practice her Supernatural Ability with Xiao Teng. Her Supernatural Ability had already reached Level Two.
When she leveled up, she was somewhat puzzled. Weren’t the novels supposed to say that Supernatural Abilities could only be upgraded by absorbing crystal cores?
She had not even started absorbing crystal cores yet, so how had her ability already leveled up?
“Big Sister, it’s because you drink Spirit Spring water so often. Spirit Spring water contains energy too. Once you absorb the energy in the Spirit Spring water, your Supernatural Ability naturally improves.” Xiao Teng explained the effects of the Spirit Spring water to her.
That was precisely why, after learning about the effects of Spirit Spring water, she had asked Li Quan about his Supernatural Ability training.
“My Supernatural Ability hasn’t made much progress. That boy keeps coming here, and I can’t practice in front of him, so there hasn’t been any improvement at all.” Li Quan felt depressed whenever he mentioned this.
“Drink this cup of Spirit Spring water tonight. Once you absorb all the energy in it, your Supernatural Ability should level up!” As Ling Yan spoke, a cup of Spirit Spring water appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Li Quan knew just how precious Spirit Spring water was. With a wave of his hand, the cup of Spirit Spring water immediately disappeared into his own space.
“Yanyan, I have to say, this space really is convenient. You can put valuable things inside and never have to worry about someone stealing them!” Li Quan was still fascinated by the space.
“Once people with space abilities appear, we won’t have to hide it anymore,” Ling Yan said.
“No. Even if people with space abilities appear by then, you still cannot reveal your space.” Li Quan knew very well just how valuable the space was.
Although he had heard Yanyan say that spaces were highly sought after at the beginning, they would also bring many dangers. He definitely would not let Yanyan put herself in danger.
“I know. I definitely won’t reveal it.” Seeing the worried expression on his face, Ling Yan promised him.
Only after hearing her promise did Li Quan finally relax.
Meanwhile, at Xiao Jue’s villa, they were also training.
“Boss, why didn’t you go to Miss Ling’s place to train today? Did she kick you out?” Sun Hao came over to Xiao Jue with a mischievous grin.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Jue smiled at him before giving him an over-the-shoulder throw that sent him crashing to the floor.
“If you can’t say anything sensible, then keep your mouth shut. Don’t you know that distance makes the heart grow fonder? If I stick to Big Sister all the time, she’ll get annoyed with me. I have to keep my distance and come close every now and then so that Big Sister will start thinking about me. What would a single man like you know about this?” Xiao Jue looked down at him from above.
“Boss, that’s a personal attack! Don’t you know why I don’t have a girlfriend? Ever since you started the company, when have you ever given me time off? We finally managed to build the company up, only for you to sell it in the end.” When he brought this up, Sun Hao had a whole stomachful of grievances to vent.
“Sun Jian, train with him. I’m going to find Big Sister.” Xiao Jue felt a little guilty after being called out by him.
“Completely heartless when it comes to women.” Sun Hao muttered as he watched Xiao Jue walk away.
“Can’t you give that mouth of yours a rest? Even Boss finds you annoying.” Sun Jian pulled him up from the ground.
“Ah Jian, do you think the apocalypse is really coming? I really hope Boss is just joking with us.” The mischievous expression disappeared from Sun Hao’s face, replaced by seriousness.
“I don’t think this is a joke. I’m sure you’ve already noticed how abnormal the weather has been this year. All we can do now is train our bodies properly. If the apocalypse really comes, we can’t become a burden to Boss.” Although Sun Jian did not want to believe it either, the abnormal weather was right there before them.
There was no way he could continue refusing to believe it.
“Big Sister, I’ll practice boxing with you.” Xiao Jue arrived at Ling Yan’s villa. Seeing that the first floor was empty, he knew that she and Uncle Li must be in the gym.
“You said you had something to do today and wouldn’t come over.” Li Quan stopped what he was doing and looked at him.
“I finished everything. The moment I was done, I came straight here to find Big Sister.” As Xiao Jue spoke, he headed toward Ling Yan.
“Bad man, you’re always trying to steal Big Sister from me.” Xiao Teng became angry the moment he saw Xiao Jue.
Ling Yan helplessly stroked its vine body. These past few days, she had also discovered that Xiao Teng was surprisingly jealous.
Every time Xiao Jue came over, it wanted to rush over and challenge him!
“Big Sister, when should we go out again? If we stay inside for too long without going out, people will start keeping an eye on us.” Xiao Jue came over to her and asked.
“What did you discover?” Ling Yan was certain that he must have noticed something while he was out today. Otherwise, he would not have brought this up.
“There have been quite a few people causing trouble lately. The police are too busy to deal with everything, which has given some people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Recently, I noticed several people sneaking around the villa district. Sun Hao heard that several home burglaries have already happened in the upscale residential complex next door.” Xiao Jue told her everything Sun Hao had found out.
“Uncle Li, go out with Xiao Jue this evening to purchase supplies. Once those people see the two of you leave, they’ll definitely come here to break in. I’ll stay home and deal with them.” Ling Yan also wanted to see whether her martial arts skills had deteriorated recently.
“No, I disagree.” Xiao Jue was the first to reject her plan.
“Big Sister, we still don’t know whether those people have any dangerous weapons. I won’t feel at ease leaving you at home.” Xiao Jue firmly refused to leave her behind.
“Yanyan, you should go purchase supplies with Xiao Jue. I wouldn’t feel at ease leaving you at home either.” After hearing Xiao Jue’s words, Li Quan also disagreed with Ling Yan staying behind.
Ling Yan looked at the two of them and really wanted to tell them that she did not take these few small-time thugs seriously at all.
If they really dared to come, she guaranteed that she could take them down one by one until they were begging for mercy.
“Fine. You two can go out with me this evening.” Seeing the firm expressions on their faces, Ling Yan could only surrender.
At that moment, she thought about how wonderful it had been in that other world to go wherever she wanted without anyone controlling her.
Still, seeing the relief on their faces after they got their way, she had to admit that being looked after like this did not feel too bad either.
When evening came, Ling Yan and the others drove away from the villa. As soon as their car left the villa district, several people emerged from the shadows.
“Boss, the people from this villa are gone. Let’s go inside.” One of the lackeys eagerly wanted to enter the villa.
After all, everyone who lived in villas was wealthy. They had been watching this house for several days, waiting for the right opportunity to make their move.
Now that the occupants had left, wasn’t this the perfect opportunity?
“Monkey, go open the door.” The boss called over a sharp-featured man to open the door.
Li Quan watched the several people on the surveillance cameras and did not know what to say.
Ten minutes had already passed, yet they still had not managed to open even the first door. He was beginning to wonder whether Xiao Jue had deliberately deceived him just to get him to agree to let Yanyan go out with him.
After another five minutes, Li Quan really could not stand watching anymore, so he secretly gave them a hand and opened the main gate himself.
“Boss, the door’s open!” Monkey exclaimed excitedly as he stared at the already open gate.
