Under One Person: Feng Shui Master, I Will Protect the Mountains and Rivers with My Own Body

"Tales of the Extraordinary: The Eldest Daughter of the Zhuge Family Falls in Love with a 'Rogue' - Chapter 8 -------- 'Dad, let me be frank with you, we're not only in love, but we're also pregnant!'"

"Time has passed, and the woman, who has matured considerably, returned to her hometown, Zhuge Bagua Village, with the man. Her father was sitting in the main seat, ignoring his daughter's words with his eyes closed, and vehemently opposed the marriage until the woman uttered these words, at which point the old man spat out his tea."

The woman's brother went to help the old man up, while secretly giving the woman a thumbs-up.

"Duo'er, give him a big one! Oh no, I'm done for."

"Linglong... your Lee Sin is terrible..."

In 2015, in Nanchang, a penthouse apartment on the top floor of the Honggu Triumph building.

The e-sports room, which usually belonged to Yan Sen and Xia He, was now completely occupied by two young girls.

Despite being separated by distance, the friendship between Chen Duo and Lu Linglong has never faded; on the contrary, it has grown stronger over time.

The two had just finished this year's college entrance examination. After learning that they were basically going to get into the same university, Chen Duo immediately bought plane tickets from Guangzhou to Nanchang overnight under the pretext of celebrating with Sen Ge.

Having saved up quite a bit of money in her private stash, she even paid for her best friend Lu Linglong's plane ticket as well. After discussing it, the two of them headed straight to Yan Sen's house.

Because of this, Liao Zhong and Lu Jin called Yan Sen many times to express their resentment.

Liao Zhong sighed and complained to Yan Sen on the phone. He had originally planned to take advantage of his daughter's college entrance examination to take a vacation and travel with Duo'er to appreciate the beautiful landscapes of the motherland.

Over the years, Duo'er has gone out with Xiao Zizai and Yan Sen quite a few times, but most of the time they have been on missions, and they rarely have the opportunity to play.

But man proposes, God disposes; who would have thought the little girl had already planned it all out?

The plan was fine, but what truly broke Liao Zhong's heart was that Chen Duo's plan didn't include him, her father!

Lu Jin didn't react that strongly. He simply pleaded with Yan Sen in a loud voice, saying he would do anything, just please don't corrupt his precious darling.

Inside the gaming room, two young girls sat side by side on two large gaming chairs, the screen's glow reflecting on their faces.

Five years have passed, enough time for the once rosy-cheeked little girl to grow into a graceful young woman.

Chen Duo was wearing a loose-fitting home T-shirt, her long dark green hair was casually tied with a hair tie, and her clear green eyes were fixed on the exploding crystal on the screen.

Lu Linglong, dressed in pink pajamas, looked vibrant with her signature blush, and was currently banging on the keyboard in frustration.

"We lost our promotion match again. When are we ever going to reach Diamond rank?!"

The two are playing League of Legends together in a duo queue.

Chen Duo played Cassiopeia in the mid lane, while Lu Linglong played Lee Sin in the jungle. Strangely enough, the two of them had almost no synergy, yet they still liked to play together, which ultimately led to their tragic situation of both dying and losing points.

"You two, stop playing around, it's time to eat."

Xia He, wearing a beige apron and holding a soup spoon, knocked twice on the glass door of the e-sports room.

"Hurry up, the food will get cold. If you don't come out soon, I'm going to unplug the internet!"

Having shed her former sharp and seductive allure, Xia He now possesses a reassuring gentleness.

Her long pink hair was pulled back, and her loungewear accentuated her mature and voluptuous curves.

Five years of living together with Yan Sen did not diminish their passion; on the contrary, she managed to make their home and life warm and sweet.

"Okay, sister-in-law."

"Hehe, thank you for your help, sister-in-law."

The two little girls immediately got up and skillfully performed the three-step process of exiting and shutting down the device, then obediently followed Xia He to the restaurant.

The large dining table was laden with dishes.

Braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled shrimp, stir-fried kale, spicy chicken, garlic chicken wings, and a pot of milky white crucian carp and tofu soup.

Everything was made according to Yan Sen's and his two sisters-in-law's tastes.

Xia He had already served the food and placed it in their respective spots.

The three of them sat down, and Chen Duo glanced at the empty seat next to Xia He across from her and asked a question in confusion.

"Sister-in-law, where's Brother Sen?"

Actually, Chen Duo felt very awkward when she first learned that Brother Sen was with this beautiful sister-in-law.

Being so young, she didn't know what love was; she only knew that Brother Sen and Father Liao were the most important people to her.

She was terrified that if Sen got a girlfriend, he would neglect her or even leave her.

So when Chen Duo first came into contact with Xia He, she showed strong hostility, which made Xia He wonder if she had done something wrong.

But as time went by, her concerns were completely dispelled.

She discovered that not only had Brother Sen not neglected her, but his sister-in-law had also given her a delicate care that was different from that of Liao Zhong and Yan Sen, a care that belonged to female elders.

As a result, Chen Duo has spent almost half of her summer and winter vacations in Nanchang over the past few years.

Liao Zhong: mmp!

"Well, I got a phone call. It was from Xu Laosi in North China. I don't know what it's about."

Xia He draped her apron over the back of the chair, pulled it out, and sat down. She gestured with her fair chin toward the balcony, indicating that Chen Duo should look in that direction.

"I'll wait for him. You guys eat first and see how the ribs taste."

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't bother. I didn't take good care of you when you and Brother Yan came to my house before."

Lu Linglong smiled and reached out to stop Xia He from continuing to serve her food, saying, "You're being too polite, I feel embarrassed."

"Don't be so polite. It's my honor to be the sister-in-law of the Ice and Snow Goddess Linglong, and to be able to cook and serve her food." Xia He teased Lu Linglong with a smile, making the young girl really embarrassed.

"Oh, sister-in-law~ please don't call me that nickname, I beg you~"

"Yes, Ice and Snow Goddess Linglong~ Sister-in-law was wrong~"

Xia He: ദ്ദി˶•̀֊＜)✧

"Ugh, I'm ignoring you, ignoring you, ignoring you~"

Lu Linglong: (//̀ Д/́/ ᴵ)/

"What are you all talking about? Let's eat, I'm starving."

The sliding door to the balcony was opened, and Yan Sen, who was already twenty-four years old, strode into the dining room with a big smile.

Five years have completely shed the immaturity on his face, and his figure has become more upright and broad. To be precise, he has grown up and become even more handsome.

He was wearing a simple black T-shirt and gray sweatpants, and plopped down next to Xia He.

Yan Sen casually picked up the juice on the table, first filling his two younger sisters' glasses, then turning around to pour a glass for his wife, and finally pouring one for himself.

"What are you talking about? You're laughing so happily." Yan Sen picked up his cup, took a sip, and asked again.

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong's eyes darted around, and she pouted as she looked at Chen Duo beside her, secretly kicking her foot under the table with a frantic hint in her eyes.

"Duo'er and I were just discussing it, asking you and your sister-in-law when you plan to have your wedding!"

"Hey...you little brat, you're not only vengeful, but you're also quick to retaliate." Xia He blushed slightly and scolded with a laugh, which earned her a smug grin from Lu Linglong.

But Chen Duo certainly wouldn't let her succeed. At this moment, she held up half a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, blinked her clear big eyes, and very honestly and obediently sold out her best friend.

"No, no, Brother Sen, it was Sister-in-law who served us food. Linglong told her not to be so polite."

After saying that, Chen Duo glanced at Lu Linglong with a slightly apologetic look, as if to say: I'm sorry, Linglong, I didn't mean to.

Chen Duo: •᷄ɞ•᷅

"Oh dear, Duo'er~ Why are you like this~" Lu Linglong blushed first when she realized her teasing had been exposed. "You usually cooperate with me, so why can't you do it with Brother Yan?"

She playfully poked Chen Duo's lower back with her finger, making Chen Duo twist and turn.

Why can't I get my straightforward best friend to cooperate?

Chen Duo: Hehe, I'm not exactly straightforward.

"Hahaha, you think you can fool me with your little tricks? You really don't know your place. How could you, a little girl, compare to the chemistry between my brother and me? Duo'er! Come here!"

Seeing Lu Linglong's discomfiture, Yan Sen mocked her without any politeness, then stood up and walked to the empty space next to the dining table, making an abstract gesture.

"Brother Sen...I..."

"Oh... here it comes."

Chen Duo hesitated for a moment, but Yan Sen kept giving her meaningful glances and urging her on. In the end, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to Yan Sen's side, imitating his gestures.

Yan Sen: Since you've asked so sincerely~

Chen Duo: I...we'll mercifully tell you...

Yan Sen: To prevent the world from being destroyed~

Chen Duo: ...In order to protect world peace...

"Snap—"

Xia He ignored Lu Linglong, who was stunned, stood up, and skillfully slapped her boyfriend on the head.

"Hurry up and eat!"

"Oh..." Yan Sen obediently replied, while Chen Duo breathed a sigh of relief and mouthed to Xia He, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Xia He pulled Yan Sen down by the ear and winked at Chen Duo, signaling her not to be shy.

Now that everyone was finally here, the two girls, who were also quite hungry, immediately began to eat heartily.

Lu Linglong gave Xia He a thumbs-up as she ate, and even Chen Duo's mouth moved faster than usual. She felt that her sister-in-law's cooking skills seemed to be even better than when she last came.

Xia He proudly raised her chin, then put on disposable gloves and skillfully peeled the boiled shrimp, placing the translucent shrimp meat into Yan Sen's bowl.

"Old Xu was making that urgent phone call, what happened?"

She asked casually as she peeled the shrimp.

"Of course, if you two have any dirty little secrets, don't tell me, just pretend I didn't ask."

"Don't tell me about those dirty little secrets. I'm the most upright person, okay?"

Yan Sen picked up a shrimp and threw it into his mouth. After chewing it a couple of times, his originally relaxed gaze gradually became deep.

"Xiangxiang, Shen Chong... do you still remember this name?"

"Of course I remember."

Xia He paused slightly, her brows furrowing involuntarily. "Five years ago, he and Gao Ning had their cultivation crippled and were handed over to the judiciary. On the way, their transport vehicle was hijacked, and all seven of the escorting brothers were killed. You and Lao Dou have been investigating in secret for so long, but you still haven't found the murderer's whereabouts."

"What's going on? Could it be that Xu Laosi has found a lead?"

"No, that's not it." Yan Sen tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic tapping sound. "It's strange, really. The group that hijacked the car back then seemed to have vanished into thin air. My divine eyes couldn't see anything about them."

"However, according to Xu Laosi, there have been some strange cases in North China recently. Ordinary people are robbing company employees. Xu Laosan's subordinate, a guy called Tu Houzi, couldn't rob ordinary people because of the company's rules and regulations, so he got a severe beating."

"According to him, the state of those ordinary people was very similar to that of Shen Chong's 'loan sharks'."

"Wasn't that Shen Chong guy's Qi Sea and meridians destroyed? He couldn't have done it, could it be a similar method?"

Although Lu Linglong usually seems carefree, as a member of the Lu family, she is very perceptive about these insider secrets, especially since she enjoys surfing the internet.

"This is also what's giving Xu Laosi a headache. If it's not Shen Chongqian, that's fine. But if it really is Shen Chongqian, it means that the person who kidnapped him back then not only had extraordinary abilities to erase all traces, but could even help a cripple rebuild his meridians."

A fleeting glint of cyan-gold light flashed in Yan Sen's eyes. "Then the waters behind this are quite deep."

Could it be... one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills?

Chen Duo listened quietly to the sound, then put down her chopsticks: "Brother Sen, do you need my help?"

"No need for that." Yan Sen smiled and ruffled Chen Duo's hair. "You two's task now is to enjoy this super long three-month vacation. When school starts, go to university and experience the youth of ordinary people."

Yan Sen turned to Xia He and said, "Let's eat first. After we eat, I might need to book Zhang Fei's flight to Tianjin."

"So urgent? Do you really have to come all the way here yourself?" Xia He took off her gloves, pulled out a wet wipe to dry her hands, and said with a hint of reluctance in her voice.

Although Yan Sen still seems lazy these past few years, he has been traveling all over the country to investigate clues about Jia Shen and to help the company resolve issues. In addition, she is also busy and has to go on business trips from time to time, so the couple has been separated for long periods of time.

"I have no choice but to go." Yan Sen sighed, his gaze drifting through the floor-to-ceiling window to the deep night sky to the north. The image of the smiling old man in an apron, busy in the kitchen, floated into his mind.

"Besides the suspected resurgence of Shen Chong, Xu Laosi also mentioned..." Yan Sen's voice lowered, carrying an undisguised heaviness.

"Even though I've treated him with Liver Wood Qi many times, Master Xu's body... is still failing..."
