The man being kept by the financial queen is Ye Yunshen?
How could that be possible?
Even if the financial queen was a dominant figure in the business world, in the end, she was still a woman—and women had needs. That much was understandable. But Xia Anran still couldn’t imagine Ye Yunshen being involved with someone of the financial queen’s status. Their worlds were completely different—like heaven and earth.
“Dad, could you have misheard?” Xia Anran asked, her expression odd.
Xia Taishan shook his head. “No way I misheard. That voice definitely sounded like Ye Yunshen.”
Then, noticing the strange look on Xia Anran’s face, he suddenly burst out laughing. “Daughter, you’re not seriously thinking the man hidden in the financial queen’s home is Ye Yunshen, right? You’re overthinking it! There are tons of people out there with similar voices! Doesn’t Ye Yunshen sound a lot like Awen?”
“Yeah, true.” Xia Anran immediately relaxed. She had overreacted. Hearing Ye Yunshen’s name had just caught her off guard. It wasn’t strange at all for someone to have a similar voice—Ye Yunshen’s voice was naturally magnetic, just like Awen’s.
Back in her room, she told Shen Qingqiu and the others about the incident. They were all shocked, especially Shen Qingqiu, who got excited over the phone. “Anran! Since your family has made a connection with Queen Xiao, can you help introduce me? I want to meet her!”
That was her ultimate life goal. Just seeing Queen Xiao once would be like a dream come true. Even one piece of advice from her would be incredibly valuable.
“Please!” Shen Qingqiu pleaded earnestly.
“I’ll have to ask my dad!” Xia Anran replied.
“The Shen Family heiress wants to meet Queen Xiao?” Xia Taishan frowned deeply. Logically, he should refuse. People of that status didn’t like being surrounded by irrelevant visitors. He had just visited her and was already risking leaving a bad impression by showing off.
But the Shen Family had always been close to theirs. It was hard to say no.
“How about this? Last time, Queen Xiao didn’t let me in because someone was at home. I’ll visit again soon, and you can come with me then.”
Xia Taishan assumed that Xiao Jinglan hadn’t invited him in because there was a man inside her home.
“Great! Thank you so much, Uncle Xia!” Shen Qingqiu was overjoyed.
She had no idea that with Ye Yunshen’s connection, she could’ve met Xiao Jinglan directly—there was no need to jump through hoops.
“By the way, Sister Qingqiu, do you know the big news happening in Sucheng recently?” Lin Ruoxi was fiddling with her phone. “A miracle doctor brought the Southern Frontier Dragon King back from the dead!” This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
“Shhh…” At those words, Cheng Zewen’s heart stirred.
“Of course I know,” Shen Qingqiu nodded. “I was even thinking about trying to invite that miracle doctor to treat Awen!”
“Right, I heard the Dragon King had already died, but the doctor forcibly brought him back. Just imagine how skilled that doctor must be!” Lin Ruoxi was stunned.
Her family came from a long line of medical practitioners, so she understood better than anyone how difficult it was to revive the dead. It required perfect alignment of timing, environment, and people.
“If he can revive the dead, then Awen’s illness would be no problem at all!” Shen Qingqiu grew more and more excited. Even Cheng Zewen’s eyes gleamed with hope. If that miracle doctor could treat him, his chances of survival would increase greatly. That would make Ye Yunshen’s value much smaller. Even if Ye Yunshen died, the three girls wouldn’t care anymore.
But what Cheng Zewen didn’t know was—besides him, another group also wanted Ye Yunshen dead.
In a villa on the outskirts of Sucheng, a sharply dressed man radiated a dark, cold aura.
“It’s confirmed. A man named Ye Yunshen saved the Dragon King,” a subordinate reported behind him.
“Good. You’re dismissed.” After sending the subordinate away, four men in black appeared silently behind him, as if materializing out of thin air. They made no sound, as cold as ice.
The man in the suit ordered, “Kill Ye Yunshen. He cannot be allowed to treat Xiao Kuanglong.”
The four men didn’t speak. They simply vanished with a whoosh—as if they’d never been there.
Ye Yunshen had no idea that great danger was closing in on him step by step.
At that moment, he was still at Xiao Jinglan’s home.
After a full day of cultivation, he had completely refined the Dragon Blood Ginseng’s medicinal power. His strength had grown tremendously!
Ye Yunshen could clearly feel that his body was stronger, and his blood surged like a great river. Power coursed through every inch of him. A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes—this was just the beginning. If he mastered it fully… he couldn’t even imagine how powerful he’d become.
After finishing his cultivation, Ye Yunshen prepared to leave.
“Huh? Leaving so soon?” Xiao Jinglan’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
“It’s already late. Why not stay the night and leave tomorrow?” She glanced at the darkness outside, trying to persuade him.
“No,” Ye Yunshen smiled and declined politely. “Sister Jinglan, not just for you, but for Dragon King Xiao’s illness as well, it’ll still take some time before treatment can continue. For now, I’ll focus on recovery and preparation.”
This recent improvement was only in physical strength. His medical skills and mystic arts still needed refining.
After sending Ye Yunshen off, Xiao Jinglan reluctantly returned home. She passed Ye Yunshen’s message along to the old Dragon King.
The Dragon King laughed heartily and said to Xiao Zhan and Long Li beside him, “You heard him, didn’t you? Little Ye said he can cure me—I’m not dying yet!”
“Yes, yes! Mr. Ye is the great benefactor of our Seven Armies!” Long Li echoed with a smile.
To the Seven Armies, the Dragon King was a special existence. And Mr. Ye had saved his life. That made Ye Yunshen the great benefactor not just of the Seven Armies, but of the entire military world of Longguo!
“Then, Dragon King, could you ask Mr. Ye if he’s willing to serve as the chief military doctor of Dragon Breath…” Just as Long Li was about to make the request, a loud, excited voice interrupted.
“Godfather! I’m so happy to see you’re alright!”
Two towering figures walked in—each giving off a crushing presence like towering mountains.
Seeing them, Long Li and Xiao Zhan’s faces changed.
“Han Xiao? Tiger? Why are you here? Isn’t the Southern Frontier supposed to be guarded?”
Not all Seven Armies had been present when the Dragon King fell ill. Long Li and Xiao Zhan had only come because they were stationed nearby. But now, even the Tiger Battalion and Wolf Fang Battalion, who guarded the Southern Frontier, had arrived.
Han Xiao, commander of the Wolf Fang Battalion, smiled. “If godfather’s in trouble, how could we not come?”
“Exactly! The Southern Frontier is stable now. No rats would dare step across the border!” Commander of the Tiger Battalion, Chen Tianhu, had a fierce face filled with killing intent. “No matter how big the crisis, nothing’s more important than godfather! If I catch whoever’s behind this, I’ll blow them all to hell!”
“So, godfather, what were you saying earlier about the Seven Armies’ great benefactor?”
