Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 342 Breaking the Angel's Wings
"Yang Jieyuan is worthy of being the Jieyuan. He is happy but not boastful. I can't reach this level! I should go back and study hard to prepare for the exam!"

The scholars who came to visit Yang Yuan but found him empty-handed were not annoyed that Yang Yuan avoided them. Instead, they clapped their hands in praise and felt inferior to him.

Afterwards, they spent some time at the "Song Family Flavor House", went on a pilgrimage to the "Shuiyunjian" the next day, and then went back home to study hard.

For a time, the atmosphere of studying for honors in Lin'an Prefecture was very positive.

When the news reached the court, the court officials became very interested in Yang Yuan, the Lin'an Jieyuan who had switched from military to literary examination. They all wanted to see how he would perform in the next spring examination.

In Nianhua Cottage, Yang Yuan, who was "recuperating in the countryside", and Li Shishi walked side by side and talked in low voices.

Yang Yuan eventually found out that Li Shishi was pregnant.

Miss Shishi, who was always willful and more open-minded than him when she was with him, suddenly had many more rules, not allowing this or that. Yang Yuan naturally noticed it.

Li Shishi saw that she could no longer hide the truth, so she told him.

The path in the forest was flat, but there were occasional small steps up and down. Yang Yuan would nervously support her, fearing that she would fall or trip.

Li Shishi enjoyed her lover's thoughtfulness and asked softly, "When does Erlang plan to go to Japan?"

Yang Yuan said, "According to the date, our ship to Nanyang should be back soon. I will wait for three more days. If there is still no news from them after three days, I will set off first."

Li Shishi said with some concern: "If you can wait, Erlang had better wait for the fleet to come back. In this way, it will be much safer to have those Japanese people go with you than to go to Japan alone.

Another thing is that they are local bosses. With their help, it will be easier for you to find Xiao Ye Mingxi."

Yang Yuan said: "I understand, but my time is limited. Then I will wait for them for five days. If they don't come back within five days, I will not wait any longer.

You don't have to worry too much. Even if I get to Japan first, it won't be possible to get things done in a few days. They might arrive right after I do."

As the two were talking, they saw Emmanuelle Belle coming from under the shade of flowers. When she saw Yang Yuan from afar, she stopped and nodded to Shishi with a smile.

Li Shishi glanced at Bei'er and said to Yang Yuan with a half-smile, "Here, I'm looking for you."

Yang Yuan said, "Rest in the pavilion for a while, and be careful when you walk."

Li Shishi agreed and sat down in the pavilion.

Yang Yuan then walked towards Emmanuelle Belle. When Belle saw him coming, she turned around and walked ahead.

After passing a flower forest, the two of them entered the chrysanthemum garden one after the other.

Bei'er asked Yang Yuan to sit down, sat down opposite him, and said solemnly: "Mr. Yang, I have something that I would like your help with."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "But what about the placement of your sisters? Don't worry, Mr. Wang from Longshan Warehouse is looking for a store on Houshi Street, and the Nanyang ships will be back soon, so your sisters will have something to do soon."

Belle's beautiful blue eyes flickered a few times, and she said shyly, "No, it's not about them. Belle... wants to ask Mr. Yang for help!"

Yang Yuan asked curiously, "Oh? How can I help you?"

Belle mustered up her courage and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Yang to... practice dual cultivation with me!"

Yang Yuan’s eyes widened suddenly. Is it so direct?

Bei'er's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly explained: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant double cultivation, pure double cultivation, the kind that pulls the Qi."

Ah~, so it’s not what I thought it meant?

However, I can only pull it to the limit but cannot enter the room, which is very frustrating.

Bei Er explained shyly, "I noticed that I can vaguely remember some things from the past now. I think if I can practice with the dual cultivation method, it should help me recover faster."

Bei Er stood up, stared at Yang Yuan, and said sincerely: "Mr. Yang, it's really hard to forget the past every day."

Yang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Your memory is gradually recovering? So, does your photographic memory still exist?"

Bei Er told Yang Yuan that her ability had also changed. Yang Yuan said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. Yes, that makes sense."

Belle looked at Yang Yuan eagerly, not knowing whether he was willing to help her.

After all, Yang Yuan had told her about the "side effects" of this technique. Now that she was asking him to do so, it seemed like she was just a scumbag who was only there to flirt.

"Okay, I promise you." Yang Yuan said with a smile.

If Emmanuelle Belle could fully recover, then the role she could play would be incomparable to what she is now. Belle was born into an aristocratic family and had learned how to manage finances and how to manage the family business.

Later, she served as a holy war knight and gained a deep understanding of combat and military logistics.

Even if this knowledge is not used on the battlefield, the qualities cultivated from it will allow her to shine in other areas.

Xue Zhuzhu could not become a shrewd businessman. Yang Yuan used interests to bind her and hoped that she could stay in the machine speed room.

However, the Japanese trade line that he was cooperating with the Longshan Wang family also needed a capable and trustworthy person to control, and Belle was the best candidate.

Belle's ability is beyond doubt, but as for whether she can be trusted...

This girl underestimated the magic of attraction between the two sexes.

In Yang Yuan's eyes, this blonde female knight was like a mouse being teased by a cat. He wanted to see when this prey would be willing to be swallowed by him.

Emmanuelle was overjoyed when she heard this, and she bowed to Yang Yuan solemnly and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Yang Yuan."

"You're welcome. I'll come back in the afternoon. We'll practice twice a day, once in the afternoon and once in the evening."

Yang Yuan nodded to her politely and walked away without any reluctance.

It seemed that, to him, the dual cultivation in the afternoon was just a strict teacher instructing his student, and he did not have the slightest desire due to the special nature of this practice.

He really likes this game process. He wants to wait for the angel to break its wings by itself and stay in the world for him.

After Yang Yuan left, seven or eight girls quickly appeared from behind the screen, pillars, and curtains.

"You are so incompetent, Your Highness Belle. Are you just going to let him go like this? We thought you finally figured it out."

Afafu was disappointed with her, and Navar looked at her with contempt...

"That's enough! Mr. Yang Yuan is a true gentleman, and I'm not as dissolute as you think."

Emmanuelle Belle didn't know when they hid there, fortunately she didn't say anything too extreme, and they didn't even understand the meaning of "dual cultivation".

Even so, Belle was still angry and said, "If you tell me this again, I will be angry."

"Tsk!" The girls scattered.

However, from that day on, Miss Belle's bathing frequency increased significantly.

She took a bath twice a day, once in the afternoon and once in the evening, and seemed to love bathing more than Theresa from the Eastern Roman Empire.

Her prayers became more frequent.

After practicing in the afternoon, Yang Yuan would go to the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant, and after practicing in the evening, he would go to the official residence in the palace. He was busy all day and it was very tiring.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Yang Yuan took a bath after practicing martial arts and went to the mansion feeling refreshed.

Because Dan Niang refused to fight today, he had nowhere to go in the afternoon.

When Wang Changsheng saw his boss coming, he took him to visit the underground secret room that had been completely completed.

Yang Yuan originally thought that it was just a small space where people could be temporarily hidden, but he didn't expect the underground area to be so large, and it didn't feel stuffy at all. It seemed that there were many hidden ventilation holes.

"Mr. Wang's underground secret room is truly extraordinary. The entrance and exit are extremely hidden, and it is neither damp nor stuffy down there. It's incredible."

Wang Changsheng said proudly: "I am a master of both civil engineering and civil engineering. When it comes to attainments, even if I am not the best, I am no less capable than the most skilled craftsmen in the imperial court."

Yang Yuan nodded repeatedly: "With Mr. Wang here, Suzuki Taro's troubles will be easily solved."

Yang Yuan and Wang Changsheng came out of the underground secret room. Yang Yuan said, "For the next construction of this house, we don't need Mr. Wang to personally supervise the construction, right? I'm going to Japan the day after tomorrow. Mr. Wang, do you want to go with me, or wait..."

"Brother, I'm back!"

Before Yang Yuan finished speaking, he heard a cheerful voice.

Yang Yuan looked up and saw a little black man with a mouthful of big white teeth, walking towards him quickly with a smile on his face.
