Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 197 A Family Returns to the Tang Clan

Just then, the door to the room next door creaked open.

Jiang Nannan, who had just woken up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned slightly, and walked out lazily.

She was indeed exhausted last night. Although she was awake now, her face still had the lazy blush of a spring nap.

Her long, golden, curly hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, and she wore only a white robe casually draped over her shoulders. The robe was wide, barely covering her upper thighs, revealing her smooth, slender calves and a pair of delicate, fair feet.

"Mom, Xiaochen, what are you doing so early in the morning... Huh? Ye Chen, who is she??"

Jiang Nannan asked in a daze, her gaze quickly falling on the unfamiliar woman being supported by Ye Chen, who was smiling at her with teary eyes.

The air fell silent for a moment.

The flames in the stove crackled softly.

When Ye Yunxi saw Jiang Nannan, she immediately thought of what happened last night, and her face turned slightly red. With her appearance, it was easy for Jiang Nannan to misunderstand.

She was momentarily at a loss and subconsciously stepped back a distance from Ye Chen to avoid Jiang Nannan misunderstanding.

Jiang Nannan was completely stunned at this moment.

She blinked her still-drowsy eyes and fully woke up. An absurd yet incredibly real thought suddenly crashed into her mind!
Her beautiful blue eyes widened instantly, and her small mouth opened in surprise, wide enough to fit an egg:
"You...you...Mom?!"

"Nan Nan..." Ye Yunxi responded, her voice regaining the clear and soft tone she had in her youth.

"what!!!"

Jiang Nannan instinctively covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at her mother's unbelievably young face with the other.

"Is...is it really you? My God! What...what's going on?! Xiao Chen! What have you done?! My mother...how could she..."

Jiang Nannan suddenly looked at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with immense shock.

The mother in her sight looked so much younger, so beautiful that even she was amazed.

Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle at the sight before him.

He shrugged and said to Jiang Nannan, "It's nothing. The pills I gave your aunt have beauty and skin-nourishing effects."

"Xiao Chen's pills are so effective, I feel..." Ye Yunxi looked down at her firm hands, then couldn't help touching her smooth cheeks. A radiant smile finally appeared on her young and beautiful face, as if even the sunlight was illuminated by this smile.

"It feels...like being reborn!"

As she spoke, she tried to spin around lightly on the spot!
Her figure was light and graceful, exuding an indescribable youthful vigor.

"That's great! Mom! You should be fully recovered by now!"

Jiang Nannan finally accepted this unbelievable miracle; she was overwhelmed with joy!

She rushed over like a swallow returning to its nest, tightly embracing her "sister and mother," laughing and jumping with excitement, tears streaming down her face.

"That's wonderful! Mom, you look so beautiful!"

Ye Yunxi hugged her daughter tightly, patted her back, and smiled like spring flowers blooming on her face.

"By the way, Ye Chen, do you have any more pills like this?"

Jiang Nannan took a while to calm down before looking at Ye Chen and saying somewhat embarrassedly.

"Of course~"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "However, this pill can only keep people young. Sister Nannan is at her most beautiful now, so naturally she doesn't need to use the pill."

"When Sister Nan feels that her skin needs care in the future, she can ask me for this kind of pill. It has a very good effect on beauty and skin care."

Although the Seed of Life is a miraculous medicine for healing, Ye Chen has a long lifespan and can treat it as an ordinary beauty and health-preserving elixir.

If Ye Chen were to put the Seed of Life up for auction, it would surely fetch a high price.

However, this is somewhat risky, and Ye Chen is not so desperate for money that he would "risk his life" for the time being, so he will not put it up for auction for the time being.

Moreover, even if we put it out now, we won't be able to sell it for a high price.

We'll sell them again when the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament starts; any one of them will fetch an astronomical price.

You can also use the money earned from the auction to buy items from the auction house.

"Oh...I see..." Jiang Nannan blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The main reason is that Ye Chen's pills are too effective. Putting aside the therapeutic effects, the effects of rejuvenating and beautifying the skin are enough to drive countless young girls crazy.

Even if her family isn't very wealthy, if she could exchange her entire fortune for such a pill when she gets old, it would be worth it.

……

……

Ye Chen stayed at Jiang Nannan's place for a few days, which deepened his relationship with her... no, I mean, it deepened his feelings for her.

They then returned to Shrek City together.

It's worth mentioning that Ye Chen also brought Ye Yunxi to Shrek City this time.

After all, Ye Yunxi is now his mother-in-law, and Ye Chen would definitely not let Ye Yunxi live in such a small place again. It would be embarrassing if word got out, and there was even a possibility that Xu Sanshi would come knocking on his door.

In Shrek City, safety is generally well guaranteed.

Of course, Ye Yunxi initially disagreed and wouldn't listen to any persuasion. Ye Chen finally had no choice but to give her a job, and only then did Ye Yunxi agree.

……

Shrek City.

Tang Clan Headquarters.

Ye Chen returned here, with Jiang Nannan and Ye Yunxi behind him.

Jiang Nannan carefully helped her mother, Ye Yunxi.

Although Ye Chen's treatment and the nourishment of that miraculous elixir have completely cured Ye Yunxi, she has even regained her youth, and her figure is lighter and healthier than that of a normal person.

But Jiang Nannan subconsciously took the habit of taking care of her mother.

Ye Yunxi raised her head, looking at the mansion in front of her with curiosity and a little restraint.

The wall wasn't high, but it exuded a rustic and dignified air, with two dark wooden doors closed.

This is so much more impressive than her humble little courtyard.

"Xiao Chen, is this... the headquarters of the Tang Sect?"

Ye Yunxi's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

In her imagination, the headquarters of a sect should be a tall and majestic place, bustling with people.

The courtyard in front of me was neat and elegant, but it was too quiet.

"Ahem, Auntie, the Tang Clan is still in its early stages and doesn't have many people."

Ye Chen coughed lightly and smiled, "It's quiet and the environment is nice here, making it more suitable for everyone to cultivate and live in peace."

Ye Chen explained with a smile and took the initiative to push open the courtyard gate.

"Auntie, please come in. You'll be staying here from now on. You can also help us clean the yard and cook us something to eat if we need anything."

The job Ye Chen assigned to Ye Yunxi was naturally to help manage the courtyard here.

Although Ye Chen regularly arranged for people to clean the room and trim the garden, none of them were his own people.

With Ye Yunxi living here and watching over things, it makes one feel more at ease.

Moreover, this way, I won't have to cook for myself when people come to stay in the future. I just need to let them know in advance, and there will be food waiting for me when I arrive. It's really convenient.

However, what reassured Ye Chen the most was Ye Yunxi's mindset.

After all, Ye Chen will be bringing many people with him later...

Ye Yunxi was very open-minded about this, as long as Ye Chen took good care of Jiang Nannan.

In addition, Ye Yunxi is also a woman, so Ye Chen isn't afraid of being seen when he does things or engages in various playful activities.

This is very reassuring.
