Yang Xiao did not tell Su Ziyu that she had been working hard on how to prevent Li Qianfan from aging and dying.
Not until it was absolutely necessary—
She would not tell anyone that she had initially found a way to save Li Qianfan from aging and dying.
Because.
Yang Xiao did not even have a 10% chance of success with the method she had finally found!
Or to put it bluntly, the plan to prevent Li Qianfan from aging and dying only existed in theory.
Without any certainty, if she were to reveal it now, it would undoubtedly bring great hope to Li Qianfan and Su Ziyu.
But what if theory failed?
The greater the hope they had now, the greater the disappointment they would experience later!
It was better to be objective and tell Su Ziyu all the reasons why Li Qianfan had to activate 209.
And then let her choose.
"Grandmother."
Su Ziyu wiped her eyes and looked at Yang Xiao. "No need for three days, three hours, or even three minutes. I can tell you now. I will always face life and death with Qianfan."
Yang Xiao slowly turned around and looked at her.
"I waited for Qianfan for 26 years in the vast sea of people. He searched for me for 21 years in the vast sea of people."
Su Ziyu continued, "We finally met and fell in love! Therefore, we will never be apart again."
"I was right."
Yang Xiao said with relief, "You are destined to be Qianfan's wife."
She smiled.
Su Ziyu stood up. "Grandmother, Qianfan and I will be strong. I also know that you have been researching how to stop Qianfan from aging and dying these past few days and in the future. With you here, our sky will never collapse."
Yang Xiao said nothing.
She still would not make any promises when she had no certainty.
"Grandmother, I have to go back."
Su Ziyu said, "Qianfan is still foolishly waiting for me in the office (restroom)."
"Wait."
Yang Xiao said, "Ziyu, tomorrow night, arrange for me to have dinner with your parents, Mo Hongti, and Dai Paipai. I have something important to announce."
"Okay."
Su Ziyu nodded and asked, "Can you tell me in advance what it is?"
Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said softly, "I want to take you to Longxu! I want everyone to see that you, Su Ziyu, are the future Lady Dragon Lord of Longxu."
Bang!
Su Ziyu's heart skipped a beat.
The future Lady Dragon Lord of Longxu!
Accompanied by Empress Dowager Xiao to "inspect" Longxu.
It was also a preemptive warning to those who were restless: "Behave yourselves and stop daydreaming. Otherwise, you won't get your cucumbers to eat."
Thinking of her "Cinderella" background, yet about to wear the golden crown of the Young Dragon Lord's wife and visit Longxu, Su Ziyu felt an indescribable nervousness.
An indescribable fear!
But she also knew.
This was a benefit that Yang Xiao was giving Su Ziyu in advance, as she was unsure if she could save Li Qianfan from aging and dying.
"Qianfan, Qianfan is not going?"
Su Ziyu stammered.
"He cannot go."
Yang Xiao shook her head. "As soon as he enters Longxu, he will automatically lose his eligibility to go to Blackwater Forest."
Su Ziyu's expression changed. "You mean Qianfan still has to go to Blackwater Forest?"
"He definitely has to go."
Yang Xiao sneered slightly. "Certain people are online building momentum to provoke Qianfan to go to Blackwater Forest again."
Su Ziyu immediately took out her phone.
As expected.
The online information that had previously cooled down was becoming active again.
"Actually, even if those people didn't provoke him, Qianfan would still have to go."
Yang Xiao added, "Transforming into a white-bellied bird and resolving the crisis in Blackwater Forest is an unavoidable trial on Qianfan's path to powerful growth."
It was also cultivation—
Su Ziyu understood and bowed slightly to Yang Xiao before taking her leave.
Yang Xiao walked back to the bottles and jars.
She frowned and muttered to herself—
"Getting Ziyu infected with 209, transforming her into a second Dai Paipai where genes and viruses can fuse, has now been proven to be feasible."
"The key is, how can she reach the peak of human beauty at a faster rate than Dai Paipai?"
"And, she cannot turn into ashes the moment she reaches the peak."
"This way, she can curb Qianfan's endlessly splitting 209 through nourishment, thereby avoiding aging and death."
"If Ziyu were male and Qianfan female, it would be enough to let Qianfan conceive to resolve this problem."
"But it so happens that Qianfan is male and cannot completely fuse within Ziyu's cells like cells."
As Yang Xiao muttered this, a fly, which had entered when Su Ziyu opened the door earlier, buzzed around her.
It buzzed in front of her, annoying her greatly.
Just as she was about to flick her finger—
A flash of inspiration struck Yang Xiao's mind!
A fly is an insect.
And among insects, there is something that strikes fear into people's hearts.
That is the Gu worm!
"Can I use a Gu worm to enable Qianfan to nourish him when he is intimate with Ziyu?"
"If this method is feasible."
"Then she would have to be planted with a Gu first—"
Yang Xiao said blankly, then suddenly thought of something, turned around, and rushed out of the office.
In the CEO's office.
In the restroom—
Li Qianfan finally endured "five minutes" and waited for Su Ziyu to return.
"Those five minutes of yours were really long."
Li Qianfan, who actually knew very well that Su Ziyu had gone to find her grandmother, teased with a smile.
Su Ziyu, however, took his hand and walked out of the restroom. "You were quite good to listen to me and stay in the restroom. Well, as a reward, I have decided."
What had she decided?
She had decided to give herself to Li Qianfan!
She couldn't wait a moment longer.
It was now!!
"It's dark."
Su Ziyu's watery eyes stared at Li Qianfan, her voice trembling slightly as she said.
"Yes, it's dark."
Li Qianfan knew very well what Su Ziyu was going to do. He pursed his lips, and his eyes began to gleam.
Or rather, 209 cheered wildly.
Su Ziyu took a deep breath and slowly lay down.
Clatter.
Her high heels landed.
Li Qianfan instinctively reached out, cupped her calves, and asked, "Old bull, are you going to eat young grass now?"
"You are two years older than me now, you are the old bull."
Su Ziyu's voice trembled even more. "I won't allow you to eat like a glutton; you must be gentle."
Li Qianfan asked, "Should we wait a bit longer?"
"No more waiting."
Su Ziyu closed her eyes, her face flushed, looking so charming and moving in the light. "I can't wait a moment longer."
"I can't wait either."
Li Qianfan's blood was now completely ignited. His left hand moved suddenly.
Riiip.
The sound of silk sheets being torn was pleasant.
But not jarring at all.
"Damn left hand, so impatient!"
Li Qianfan cursed himself, but then he heard a loud bang outside the door.
Someone, he didn't know who, kicked open the door that Su Ziyu had specifically locked from the inside.
"Who!?"
Li Qianfan and Su Ziyu exclaimed in surprise.
"It's me."
Yang Xiao's voice came from outside the lounge door. "Ziyu, you cannot be intimate for now! Because it concerns whether Qianfan can avoid aging and death."
What?
Li Qianfan and Su Ziyu were instantly dumbfounded.
The atmosphere had been built up, only for someone to call a halt.
Not only did they call a halt, but they also kicked down the door, seeming very anxious.
Wait—
Su Ziyu couldn't think of anything else. She immediately kicked Li Qianfan away and scrambled off the bed, rushing out of the lounge.
She had just heard her grandmother say that whether she and Qianfan could be intimate concerned whether he could be saved from aging and death.
This was a matter of utmost importance!
Su Ziyu had to find out what was going on.
As for her young grass, who was left foolishly looking after being kicked off the bed by her, she couldn't care less.
"Is this what women are like? When they need you, they are all sweet talk, calling you brother. When they don't need you, they kick you away."
After standing dumbfounded for who knows how long, Li Qianfan shamefully picked himself up from the floor.
A full half hour later.
Su Ziyu, with the silk sheets on her left leg torn, walked into the lounge with a "sacred and inviolable" gait, her chin held high and her head proudly.
"Little husband, if you ever have wicked thoughts about me in the future."
Su Ziyu sneered, her gaze sweeping over Li Qianfan. "I'll break your legs!"
Li Qianfan shivered.
Was this the legendary "forgetting about me once the pants are off"?
"However, considering you've been good lately, I've decided to give you a small reward."
Su Ziyu said, sitting back on the edge of the bed, her black silk-clad feet elegantly extended towards the man.
Her face flushed. She looked up at the ceiling and asked, "Little husband, what else can wife's feet do besides walking?"
What else can feet do besides walking?
This question—
Li Qianfan was stunned for a long time.
His brain went haywire, and he quickly took out his phone and called Ru Hua: "Old buddy, are you there? Besides walking, what else can women's feet do to men?"
Ding dong.
As a message arrived on a certain phone, Su Nanyin, led by Li Wujiang, walked into the reception room of Li Family Village.
