"You brat, what good fortune you have."
After admiring the beautiful pictures sent by Jiao Yin, Su Nanyin cursed.
After chatting with Jiao Yin for a few minutes, Su Nanyin started teasing Chu Yazhi: "Zhizhi, are you there?"
The night was already very deep.
A certain woman was still guest-starring as a male overlord, constantly exchanging messages with Jiao Yin, Chu Yazhi, and others.
Dawn broke.
It got dark again.
Today—
The setting sun bled like blood!
Li Qianfan slowly shook his head and walked into the backyard.
He took a deep breath towards the sky, feeling an inexhaustible surge of strength throughout his body.
This was his fifth day at the Su family's residence.
For these five days, he seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
But the Earth still turned—
Su Nanyin received a phone call in the afternoon and then rushed out, and hadn't returned yet.
In the kitchen, Su Maomao was preparing dinner.
Li Qianfan wandered aimlessly in the yard and opened his phone.
The online fervor accusing him of being a coward for not going to the Blackwater Forest had significantly subsided with his disappearance.
However, he had once again become a hot topic as the source of conjunctivitis.
According to statistics from authoritative health departments in the Eastern Lands, the number of people infected with conjunctivitis had already exceeded two thousand cases.
And the number of this group was still steadily increasing.
Even "righteous journalists" from abroad, like British reporters known for their gloomy filters, had been interviewing people on the streets for the past few days, investigating public opinion on conjunctivitis.
International Ruixue announced at ten o'clock this morning that at the invitation of the Eastern Lands, the "Guangmingzhe" special medicine would be available in the country.
The price was not the 1500 predicted by Li Wujiang, but a jaw-dropping 2999.
Many internet celebrities and big shots also rushed to capitalize on the situation, fanning anxiety, blaming the "pathogen," and hailing "Guangmingzhe" as humanity's savior.
They completely ignored the reality that conjunctivitis cases in Europe and America had already reached tens of thousands.
There was even a public figure who claimed to speak on behalf of the elders and villagers, offering an "amuse" to Europe and America, which were being severely ravaged by conjunctivitis.
The more Li Qianfan read, the more agitated he became.
He simply stopped looking.
He ambled to the kitchen door, looking at Su Zui's back as she cooked, hesitating on what to say.
Since he had fully recovered, he would leave the Su family after Su Nanyin returned to do what he needed to do.
No matter what.
Over the past few days, Su Zui had done things for him every night.
"You, you don't really need to say anything to me."
Su Zui, who had long known he was at the door, said in a low voice after turning off the gas stove, "Everything I do is for this family. My mother is right, you are the sky for our family. Therefore, you don't need to feel guilty towards me, nor should you look down on me. Just pretend that nothing has happened."
Hearing her say that, Li Qianfan felt relieved.
It was best if nothing had happened.
But wasn't it too much like a scumbag for Li Qianfan to do so?
Clearing his throat, Li Qianfan said, "Su Zui."
Su Zui still didn't turn around: "If you have something to say, say it."
"In the future, after your child is born."
Li Qianfan said, "I will treat him or her as my own."
A promise.
This was Li Qianfan's promise to Su Zui!
After he finished speaking, he turned and quickly returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, took out his phone, and called Jiao Yin.
It connected instantly—
Jiao Yin's surprised voice: "Li, Master."
Li Qianfan's crisp command: "Prepare yourself. Come to Si Jiu tomorrow morning."
Jiao Yin asked, "Okay. Master, are we going to the Blackwater Forest?"
"We'll talk about it when you get here. Call me when you arrive."
Li Qianfan said crisply and ended the call.
In the yard outside the living room, a person walked in.
Su Nanyin had returned.
The injury on her right foot had completely healed, and she no longer limped when walking.
She strode with a gust of wind, as if some irrepressible joy had finally been brought home and could be shared with others.
"I have some good news for you."
After entering, Su Nanyin placed her small bag on the coat rack by the door and began to change her shoes. "Do you want to hear it?"
Li Qianfan asked, "What, did you fall and pick up a gold ingot?"
"You brat, you don't wish me well."
Su Nanyin walked over, pulled Li Qianfan up from the sofa, and lay down on it. "Quick, give me a back rub."
Easy.
Li Qianfan immediately rolled up his sleeves and started massaging her back, while also being sarcastic, "Too much flesh, can't find the bones."
"Dare to talk back again, and I'll slap your mouth."
Su Nanyin threatened, and then said, "You fooled Mom, and she succeeded in her research!"
Li Qianfan's movements paused.
He then realized that Su Nanyin had rushed out in the afternoon to go to Mengyue's place.
"I truly admire Mengyue. She's indeed a master in this field."
Su Nanyin propped her left leg back and casually kicked Li Qianfan's shoulder with her heel, her face full of admiration. "I thought that no matter how professional she was, she would need at least a month. But she only took five days to develop the Guanyin worm and the special medicine to treat it using your cell samples."
Li Qianfan was also surprised.
However, considering that Mengyue had been secretly researching 209 all these years, it was normal for her to develop the Guanyin worm and special medicine in just five days with the help of his "samples."
"Do you know what the special medicine is called?"
Su Nanyin looked back at him and asked.
"What is it called?"
Li Qianfan squeezed her neck with his left hand, feeling that her cervical spine seemed to have some issues, and applied a little force.
With a *crack*—
Su Nanyin yelped in pain and cursed, "Damn it, are you trying to murder your husband?"
What husband?
Clearly uncultured.
Li Qianfan looked disdainfully but said nothing.
Su Nanyin shook her neck and felt much more relaxed, realizing she had misunderstood Li Qianfan.
However, she would never apologize.
Kicking Li Qianfan with her heel, Su Nanyin looked quite comfortable. "The special medicine is called Qianfan Number One."
Qianfan Number One.
It was named after Li Qianfan, which was understandable.
But why Number One?
Su Nanyin smiled. "Because the Guanyin worm might mutate."
Li Qianfan understood.
"Although it's unlikely for the Western Lands to develop a special medicine to treat the Guanyin worm without your cell samples,"
Su Nanyin said, "but to be safe, I had Mengyue leave a backdoor when developing the Guanyin worm. If the Western Lands develop a special medicine, we'll immediately upgrade the virus and release Qianfan Number Two."
Li Qianfan nodded but said nothing.
Su Nanyin asked, "Do you think I'm inhumane?"
Li Qianfan replied, "No."
"You're just saying that, but I don't care. I want those people to know that not only can we do what they're good at, but we can do it even more ruthlessly."
Su Nanyin said slowly, "Most importantly, Mengyue has also developed an Eastern Lands version of 'Guangmingzhe'. It can be mass-produced within a week at the latest and will be distributed free of charge across the country."
Good news.
This was truly good news!
"Tonight, Tian Mengyao will march west."
Su Nanyin added, "And Dark Blade will also dispatch its most capable subordinates to visit the big shots at International Ruixue. Only then will those people realize how wonderful the world truly is when they understand the might of the Guanyin worm."
As they were talking, Su Zui came out of the kitchen with dinner.
To celebrate the good news, Su Nanyin specifically opened a bottle of fine wine.
The three of them ate and chatted.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
Darkness fell.
It was time for Li Qianfan to leave.
Su Nanyin handed him the key to the little red sports car, hesitating to speak.
Li Qianfan smiled, "Don't worry. From now on, I'll spend ten days in Si Jiu, five days in Li Family Village, and five days at the Su family's."
"Do you think I care if you come or not?"
Su Nanyin said the opposite of what she meant, then suddenly asked, "Do you think I'll face retribution in the future?"
Huh?
Li Qianfan was stunned and asked, "What retribution will you face?"
Su Nanyin didn't speak. She looked up at the crescent moon rising in the east and waved her hand, signaling Li Qianfan to leave.
Li Qianfan, utterly confused, turned and walked towards the front yard.
Su Zui quickly followed to see him off.
After walking about seven or eight steps, he suddenly understood what Su Nanyin meant by retribution.
The Guanyin worm plan was orchestrated and implemented by her.
And tonight, it would officially march west!
It was foreseeable that in the future Western Lands, besides those who deserved it, many innocent people would also suffer collateral damage.
It went against the natural order!!
Li Qianfan turned back and shouted to Su Nanyin, "Guanyin, do you believe in Buddhism?"
Su Nanyin shook her head.
Li Qianfan then asked, "Then do you believe in me!?"
Su Nanyin hesitated—
Li Qianfan raised his hand and drew a semicircle. "You must believe in me. With me here, you, Su Zui, Shen Yun, and Du Junlin will all live to a ripe old age in peace."
Su Nanyin laughed. "What are you bragging about, you brat? Whether you can live past a year is still unknown. And you want to be the savior for the four of us, shielding us from wind and rain?"
"I won't die. Believe me."
Li Qianfan finished speaking, turned, and quickly left.
Hearing the faint sound of the car leaving, Su Nanyin, who had been looking up at the moon, murmured as if in a dream, "I, believe you."
Ten o'clock at night.
This is the Noblewoman Discotheque—
