TL: Moonlit
Mr. Zhu has a blessed appearance, and he himself is a righteous person. Otherwise, Grandpa Ye wouldn’t have become friends with him.
However, Shen Ye couldn’t tell from Mr. Zhu’s face what great deeds the ancestors of the Zhu family had done for their family’s ancestral tomb to be enveloped in auspicious light. It could be due to the passage of time or the fact that there were too many ancestors buried there. Even Mr. Zhu himself couldn’t figure out how many ancestors were buried in the ancestral tomb, let alone what they had done.
Shen Ye pondered for a moment and focused his gaze on the Zhu family’s cemetery.
As he swept his eyes over, he noticed that the auspicious light was emanating from three places. He carefully examined the tombstones and saw that one belonged to a prince, another to a princess who disguised herself as a man, and the third to a general. They had all died in battle defending the city, so it was no wonder they had such thick auspiciousness.
“The Zhu family is quite remarkable,” Shen Ye whispered to Ye Ze, leaning closer to him.
Ye Ze patted his head without saying a word.
Indeed, the Zhu family had its share of remarkable individuals, but they also produced some foolish ones. However, these were events that happened hundreds of years ago, and the merits and faults were long gone from public discussion.
Shen Ye hugged Ye Ze’s arm and continued in a low voice, “These auspicious lights should be the blessings left by the Zhu family’s ancestors for future generations.”
Originally, he had thought about whether he should ask Old Master Zhu to transfer the auspicious lights to him. After all, the more auspicious lights he had, the more confident he would be in opening the passage between the two realms.
But these auspicious lights were the blessings protecting the Zhu family. How could he possibly take them away?
“No hurry,” Ye Ze guessed his thoughts and comforted him softly.
Shen Ye nodded gently. “I understand.”
Although he wanted to increase the auspicious lights, this was something that couldn’t be sought after. He wouldn’t snatch away someone else’s blessings.
As they spoke, the black Qi dissipating above the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb, and Master Yin’s body burst open, finally departing with his soul scattered.
“Grandpa Zhu, things are settled here, and the blessings have been retrieved,” Shen Ye smiled and looked at Mr. Zhu, saying, “We can go to the new address now.”
Mr. Zhu had been anxiously watching the ancestral tomb, afraid that something might go wrong with Master Yin. He didn’t distrust Shen Ye’s abilities, but when it came to the ancestral tomb, he naturally had to be cautious. Now that he heard Shen Ye say that the matter was over, he realized that Master Yin was no longer a threat, and he nodded happily, “Good, good. Thank you for your hard work.”
Shen Ye withdrew the formation and then used his techniques to collect the auspicious lights from the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb and brought them to the new address.
The new address was only half an hour’s drive from Huangling. It was originally a wasteland that belonged to a nearby village but was purchased by the Zhu family.
After Old Master Zhu got out of the car, he couldn’t help but ask Shen Ye in a low voice, “What do you think of the Feng Shui here?”
In the beginning, he consulted several masters to survey Feng Shui and went through several places before selecting this one.
Shen Ye looked around and said, “It’s pretty good.”
The wasteland had already been cleaned up. Large trees were planted on the slopes, providing shade, and the environment was quite good.
Most importantly, this small mountain range connected to the dragon veins beneath Huangling, making it a treasure trove of Feng Shui.
Old Master Zhu felt relieved and said, “I’ll trouble you with the next steps.”
Shen Ye smiled and agreed. He scattered the auspicious lights in the mountains and set up a formation to slow down the dissipation of the auspicious lights. This way, the Zhu family’s good fortune would last even longer.
The Zhu family has been doing good deeds all these years, and they are worthy of Shen Ye’s assistance.
After everything was settled, Shen Ye said to Old Master Zhu, “You can have someone build a tomb for the ancestors now.”
Old Master Zhu was extremely grateful and personally handed the reward to Shen Ye.
Besides a large sum of money in the form of a check, there was also a golden sandalwood box.
Shen Ye and Ye Ze exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.
The wooden box itself was valuable, but that wasn’t the most important thing… The most important thing was the thick layer of auspicious golden light emanating from the box…
In other words, whatever was inside the box must be extraordinary!
“Do you really want to give me something so valuable?” Shen Ye regained his senses and hesitantly asked Old Master Zhu.
Old Master Zhu smiled and said, “I feel that this item might have some connection with you.”
In fact, Old Master Zhu had learned that Shen Ye had an interest in collecting antiques. While the Zhu family had many valuable artifacts, the contents of this wooden box were the most precious. It could be considered the Zhu family’s heirloom.
Old Master Zhu chose to offer this item as a reward because the relocation of the ancestral tomb was a significant matter, and Shen Ye had also ensured the continued blessings for the Zhu family’s future generations. He believed that giving this reward was entirely appropriate.
Shen Ye hesitated. He did need the auspicious light, but this item… it represented the glory of the Zhu family’s ancestors, and it didn’t feel right for him to take it away.
Old Master Zhu could sense his thoughts and directly stuffed the wooden box into his hands. “Accept it. I know that this item will be useful in your hands.”
After thinking it over, Shen Ye ultimately didn’t refuse. “Alright, I’ll accept it. In the future, if the Zhu family needs anything, they can find me anytime, regardless of the time. As long as I’m still here, I’ll help.”
This statement meant that even if the future descendants of the Zhu family came to him, he would fulfill his promise.
Old Master Zhu was overjoyed and patted Shen Ye’s shoulder heavily. Then he looked at Ye Ze and said, “Before we part ways here, thank you both.”
He and Grandpa Ye were good friends, and he knew about what happened to Grandpa Niu before his death, so he regarded Shen Ye as an extraordinary person. In his heart, Shen Ye was almost like an immortal.
With Shen Ye’s promise, the Zhu family now had an additional guarantee for the future. How could Old Master Zhu not feel happy?
After bidding farewell to Old Master Zhu, Shen Ye and Ye Ze got into the car and prepared to return to the capital.
Shen Ye held the wooden box in his hands and sighed, “I didn’t expect to obtain auspicious merits.”
He had seen the auspicious light above the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb before, but because he couldn’t bear to sever the blessings of the Zhu family, he didn’t mention it to Old Master Zhu. Unexpectedly, Old Master Zhu still gifted him such a generous present.
Ye Ze gently touched Shen Ye’s face and smiled without saying a word.
The child had always been kind-hearted, so it wasn’t surprising for him to receive such opportunities.
Shen Ye opened the wooden box, and inside lay an official seal with intricate characters engraved on it, which Shen Ye didn’t recognize.
However, through touch and perception, he learned that this official seal belonged to the Zhu family’s general who died in battle. The general had used this seal to save the border city of Chi City several times from imminent danger, hence the strong auspicious merits.
And Old Master Zhu was a descendant of that general, so it was no wonder that the Zhu family had been blessed for all these years.
Shen Ye closed the box and embraced Ye Ze’s arm, saying with a smile, “I really have to thank Grandpa. He introduced me to several jobs that rewarded auspicious merits. It’s a great opportunity.”
Previously, the gun given by Grandpa Niu had auspicious light, and the key from Grandpa Shen also had it. Now, the official seal given by Old Master Zhu had it too.
Moreover, these families had a good relationship with the Ye family, and the family head and Grandpa Ye were close friends.
A faint smile formed at the corner of Ye Ze’s lips as he touched Shen Ye’s face and softly said, “Grandpa must be very happy.”
Shen Ye rubbed the palm of his hand against Ye Ze’s, saying, “Grandpa is the best.”
Ye Ze cupped his face, looking deeply into his eyes. “Hmm?”
“…My husband is the best.” Shen Ye’s face was filled with helplessness, but his eyes revealed sweetness.
His husband was jealous, but he couldn’t help but find it adorable…
…He felt like there was no saving himself anymore.
When the two returned to the old mansion of the Ye family, it was lunchtime.
At the dining table, Shen Ye kept serving dishes to Grandpa Ye, being extremely attentive.
Grandpa Ye: “…”
Usually, Shen Ye was close to him and would serve him food, but today he was more enthusiastic than usual, as if he had been injected with chicken blood… It was a bit overwhelming for him.
Ye Ze chuckled and held Shen Ye’s hand, saying, “Alright, don’t startle Grandpa.”
Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise and Grandpa Ye struggling to find words, Shen Ye quickly put down his chopsticks and said, “Grandpa, I want to thank you for introducing me to those jobs. The rewards they gave me were exactly what I needed.”
“Is that so?” Grandpa Ye was surprised. He had always been worried that these matters would affect Shen Ye, but he didn’t expect Shen Ye to come and thank him instead.
If that was the case, should he stay and continue taking jobs from their old friends?
Grandpa Ye expressed his thoughts.
Shen Ye was deeply moved. Grandpa Ye enjoyed tranquility, and they had already agreed to return to Haicheng early tomorrow morning. But now, Grandpa Ye was willing to stay for him.
He felt incredibly lucky. His partner was so good, and his partner’s family was also so good.
“No need, let’s return to Haicheng tomorrow.” Shen Ye waved his hand with a smile.
Since Grandpa Ye was so good to him, he naturally didn’t want to go against his wishes.
As for the auspicious merits… he had accumulated some on his own, and they might be sufficient. Now, the most important thing was to complete his divine soul so that he could try to open the passage between the two realms with the little golden dragon.
Ye Ze silently listened to Grandpa Ye and Shen Ye’s conversation, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Who wouldn’t want their partner to get along well with their family? Although he knew that Shen Ye already treated Grandpa as his own grandfather, every time he saw Shen Ye interacting with Grandpa, Ye Ze’s mood would improve.
After lunch, Shen Ye and Ye Ze returned to the courtyard to rest, while Xu Sisi and the others packed their luggage, preparing to return to Haicheng the next day.
“So tired.” As soon as they arrived in the courtyard, Shen Ye turned and threw himself into Ye Ze’s arms, hanging on him like a child, and secretly touched Ye Ze’s abs.
Ye Ze held him and walked into the house, his voice low and hoarse, “Be good, don’t move around.”
Shen Ye ignored him. As soon as the door was closed, he became even more unrestrained and started tearing off the man’s clothes.
Ye Ze’s gaze turned dim.
Shen Ye smirked, “Let’s cultivate together today.”
He had initially thought that auspicious merits would be the most difficult to find, but he had obtained them several times in the past few days, which made him realize that it was more important to complete his divine soul as soon as possible in order to open the passage between the two realms.
They had practiced dual cultivation before, and the effect was actually quite good. The purple aura from Ye Ze’s body entered his body through dual cultivation, nurturing his divine soul more effectively.
However, he indulged in pleasure and always felt that during dual cultivation, he had to focus on cultivation, making it less enjoyable to drive…
Ye Ze never refused his requests. He carried him and went to the bathroom, placing him in the bathtub before undressing himself.
His alluring chest and abs were exposed, causing Shen Ye’s eyes to widen.
… Should they skip dual cultivation this time?
Shen Ye cupped his face, staring fixedly at him, his face full of conflict.
Ye Ze chuckled softly, stepped into the bathtub, and lifted him up onto his body.
What followed was endless joy, but fortunately, Shen Ye still retained his sanity and reminded Ye Ze about dual cultivation at the critical moment.
Knowing that Shen Ye wanted to repair his divine soul as soon as possible, Ye Ze stopped teasing him and earnestly practiced dual cultivation with him.
The two of them meditated through the night. When they woke up the next day, Shen Ye stretched lazily and felt the state of his divine soul, unable to help but sigh, “The effect is really good.”
He felt that a significant part of his divine soul had been restored, with only a crescent moon left to be repaired.
Ye Ze smiled and ruffled his hair without saying a word.
Shen Ye grabbed his hand and asked, “Uncle, how do you feel?”
Ye Ze carefully felt his entire body and said, “It seems like there’s no change.”
Shen Ye: “…”
Why was it that his man’s cultivation had clearly improved? Initially, he could only sense Yin Qi and Dark Qi, but later, he could sense auspicious merits… Why did his man never feel anything during cultivation?
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao sealed his man’s senses?
Fortunately, Ye Ze’s changes were all positive, so Shen Ye didn’t delve into the reason.
After tidying up, the two of them joined Grandpa Ye and the others in the front yard.
After breakfast, everyone set off for the airport.
This time, Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming were absent as they were still on their honeymoon abroad. They had agreed to return to Haicheng for work once their honeymoon was over.
Because of this, Shen Shimu even complained to Ye Ze about exploiting the employees.
Of course, Ye Ze was not afraid of complaints. He coldly hung up the phone, so much so that Shen Shimu even approached Shen Ye to complain during their honeymoon, which amused Shen Ye greatly.
Before boarding the plane, Xu Sisi received a phone call.
After hanging up, she found Shen Ye and said, “The boss of Luo Zifan’s company contacted me and begged for mercy, hoping that you could spare their company.”
Shen Ye raised an eyebrow.
Xu Sisi sighed, “I didn’t have any personal relationship with him, but back then, when you were bullied on the set, he helped you out.”
Shen Ye: “…”
Shen Ye: “???”
So, this is a debt of the original host?
Shen Ye recalled and realized that there was indeed such an incident.
The original host was naive and easily deceived. Later, he was suppressed by his biological father and stepmother, which made him timid and vulnerable. He was often bullied by the male lead on the set.
The boss of Luo Zifan’s company, named Song Chu, stood up for the original host that time when he saw him being bullied by the male lead on the set.
“…” Shen Ye was a bit puzzled. If Song Chu, the boss of Luo Zifan’s company, was a good person, it wouldn’t make sense for him to control fans using Taoist methods…
Moreover, the company controlled obsessive fans, like Liu Silu, Luo Zifan’s fan, who was mentally unstable. She tormented Chen Zi for half a year for a groundless CP rumor and even tortured and killed small animals…
“Set up a meeting with him. I’ll meet him first,” Shen Ye said after thinking for a moment.
He had originally planned to deal with Luo Zifan’s company as soon as he returned to Haicheng, and Song Chu would definitely be the first target. However, if Song Chu had helped the original host, then this favor needed to be returned.
Xu Sisi agreed and hesitated before saying, “Song Chu actually has a good reputation, but he has a mistress… It seems like the entertainment company is managed by his mistress.”
Shen Ye pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll look at his face later and know what’s going on.”
However, as soon as they arrived in Haicheng and returned to Rongyuan, Song Chu arrived and rang the doorbell, seeking a meeting with Shen Ye.
Shen Ye: “…How did he know I returned to Haicheng?”
Could it be that someone leaked their whereabouts with Ye Ze?
Xu Sisi glanced at him and apologetically said, “I might have accidentally let it slip…”
Shen Ye waved his hand and said, “Let him in.”
Soon, Song Chu entered, accompanied by a beautiful young woman.
Xu Sisi whispered in Shen Ye’s ear, “That’s Song Chu’s mistress.”
Shen Ye: “…Oh, I know her.”
