Why is the eldest young master staying here?

It was late at night again. He rushed to finish his official duties and planned to return to have a heart-to-heart talk with his beloved.

As it turned out, his eldest son was also there... Seeing the mother and son snuggling together, Ying Zheng felt that ordinary couples were nothing more than this.

"After dinner, the eldest son came to pay his respects as if he had been wronged, so the young lady taught him martial arts for two hours. Seeing that it was getting late, she kept him here." This is the king's eldest son; not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can bully him.

"I understand! You may all leave..." He picked up the child and placed him inside, then tucked the blanket in and embraced Lin Chaoyan.

"Ah Zheng, you're back?" She snuggled closer to Ying Zheng. He was indeed earlier than usual today, returning around 11:00 AM, whereas he usually wouldn't be back until 1:00 or 2:00 PM.

"Yes, I'm back!! Did Ayan teach Xu'er martial arts today?" Both father and son were taught by her, and Ying Zheng got a lot of beatings back then.

"If someone is bullied and won't tell you when you ask, I'll give them ten years' worth of internal energy and teach them martial arts every day. I'll give them a cheat code so they can solve the problem themselves." The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and the most attention is always given to those mischievous kids.

“Ah Yan wasn’t this attentive to me back then.” Back then! He trained so hard, and Lin Chaoyan was extremely strict with him.

Back then! Wasn't I good to him? Now that I'm getting older, my face is getting old too.

She muttered to herself, "Back then? I should have drunk more Six Walnuts back then..." so I wouldn't have been so easily fooled like an idiot.

"Hmm? Is Ayan asleep?" Lin Chaoyan whispered, complaining that he hadn't heard her clearly. Afraid of waking the child next to him, Ying Zheng also spoke very softly.

The two of them were basically whispering in each other's ears.

"No... What has Ah Zheng been busy with lately?" She wanted to see if there was anything she could do to help.

As long as it doesn't involve major historical events, Lin Chaoyan will help him without hesitation.

"Reports from the front: Pingyang, Yi'an, and Wuling have been captured, and Zhao general Hu Zhe has killed 100,000 Zhao soldiers..." Ying Zheng discussed politics with Lin Chaoyan without any hesitation.

"This is good news for Qin, but Zhao won't be so easy to defeat. Zheng, you can't rush things." Historically, the other four states have been destroyed one after another, and Zhao is locked in a power struggle with Qi, while Zhao is still barely surviving.

"I understand. We desperately need provisions, and with poor harvests, it's difficult for the people to procure food. Our only option is to attack other countries and plunder their resources to supplement our income." The Qin region has never been a land of plenty, and in ancient times, people were at the mercy of the weather, frequently suffering from earthquakes, dike breaches, mudslides, droughts, locust plagues… It's a difficult situation for them!

Lin Chaoyan thought of the grain in her storage space, especially after the time was adjusted. The amount of grain accumulated from those thousand acres of land was terrifying for her to eat alone. "I have some. Do you want to go check on it now or tomorrow?"

"Okay, let's go take a look now..." He didn't expect Lin Chaoyan to have much food, and seeing her earnest eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse her.

Lin Chaoyan excitedly jumped off the bed and urged the man sitting on it in a low voice, "Let's go!"

"No rush!! Put your shoes on first, the wind is biting and the ground is cold." Because Lin Chaoyan didn't like wearing shoes, the bedroom was covered with fine furs. There was plenty of charcoal, so it wasn't cold at all; on the contrary, it was quite warm.

Ying Zheng always felt that he hadn't done enough for Lin Chaoyan, but he never considered that the concubines in the harem received a fixed monthly stipend and food allowance. Some of the less favored concubines, whose families weren't powerful enough, were left to suffer the cold with the palace servants.

Lin Chaoyan's treatment was even better than that of the ladies who were second only to the Queen.

"Okay! I'm all dressed!!" Afraid of Ying Zheng's nagging, she immediately took off her shoes and put them on.

Where is it cold? Everyone is sweating from the heat. Lin Chaoyan was afraid of being poisoned by burning charcoal, so she specially asked the palace servants to open a small hole in the window.

The two entered the space, where the time had been adjusted to April or May, a time when it was neither too cold nor too hot.

The spiritual energy in the space made Ying Zheng's exhausted body feel much better.

"Ah Zheng, let's go! I'll take you to the warehouse." She didn't know the exact amount of military supplies, but she felt that her rice, millet, wheat, soybeans, dried vegetables, and cured meat, which totaled tens of millions of tons, should be able to help.

"Good~"

Led by Lin Chaoyan, he arrived in front of a massive building.

Is this a granary? Can Ayan grow so much grain all by herself? Ying Zheng followed Lin Chaoyan further inside, filled with curiosity.

Upon entering, what greeted the eye was not grain, but the skeleton of a towering, mythical beast.

"Ayan, what is this? Why is it so tall?" The skeleton was eight meters tall, and he could hardly imagine what it must have been like when it was alive.

"Dinosaurs, the overlords before the birth of humans, the former rulers of the earth. This is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and over there from left to right are a Velociraptor, a Maiasaura, a Stegosaurus, and a Triceratops. On top of that are three pterosaurs: a Sailwing Pterosaur, a Quetzalcoatlus, and a Thorium Pterosaur." These were all species that had bullied Lin Chaoyan, and the vengeful Lin Chaoyan chose to keep their corpses as souvenirs.

"Once upon a time?" He pondered the word.

"Yes! More than 66 million years ago, an unprecedented natural disaster struck the Earth, causing the death of 80 percent of all life on the land. They were one of the many species that went extinct." He said, clicking his tongue in amazement as he walked over to the Velociraptor.

"Tsk tsk!! Back then, I was besieged by two cunning velociraptors and almost eaten when I was barely alive. You little brat! Bullying me? Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't underestimate a young man's potential. My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens..." Lin Chaoyan, smug and self-satisfied, entered her chuunibyou (delusional) mode.

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens?" "Ayan, have all these people bullied you?" Ying Zheng witnessed how vengeful Lin Chaoyan was, even leaving behind the remains of her enemies to remind him after her death.

"Not entirely. For example, this Titanoboa was a victim I used for practice because I couldn't find anyone to fight. That Sabertooth was exhausted to death by walking it around like a dog. This giant ape was left behind because it bullied Gou Dan." I kept them around mainly because I was bored at the time.

Leaving the first-floor showroom, Lin Chaoyan pushed open her true treasure trove, and they arrived at the towering shelving area. It was filled with modern goods; she offered no explanation and headed straight to the next stop.

"Ah Zheng, the road ahead is a bit difficult!" She stood hesitantly at a large golden doorway.

"What's inside? Is it dangerous?" Ying Zheng's expression became cautious.

"Not really, it's just a cute little creature and its accumulated possessions inside! It's just that the road is difficult for you to navigate." She hadn't expected double-crossing to be so profitable, especially with that little creature's treasure...

"Cute little thing?" The only "cute little thing" that Ying Zheng could imagine was something like a cat.

"Open the door..." she suddenly shouted at the door in front of her.

"Please enter the password..." came a voice that sounded like spitting phlegm.

"...You've gotten bold, huh? You've taken over someone else's place, haven't you? You dare make me enter the password? I am the password! If you don't open the door, I'll go in and smash your head in..." Lin Chaoyan actually wanted to swear!

"Password entered correctly..." As soon as the words were spoken, the huge golden door opened automatically.

"You're crazy!! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. You only behave when I teach you a lesson, right?" She cursed and dragged Ying Zheng inside.

Lin Chaoyan kicked away the jeweled crown blocking her way, making a crisp sound, followed by the clattering sound of gold coins falling.

"Nidhogg! Would it kill you to tidy up all this wealth? Sleeping under gold coins every day, aren't you afraid of sleeping to death?" She kicked away the gold and jewels blocking her way as she walked.

Ying Zheng looked at his beloved in front of him with complicated emotions. Did she really trust him so much? Wasn't she afraid that he would be blinded by the wealth before him?

"Your guest has taken a liking to my gold, my master..." Nidhogg's voice echoed throughout the space, and the pool of gold coins beneath his feet churned with a sound like ocean waves.

A meter-long, crimson-gold pupil suddenly opened, revealing a red-gold dragon with a long, winding neck, a crocodile-like face, bat-like wings, sharp teeth and claws, four legs, and a huge tail. It was approximately 130 meters long and 18.3 meters high.

Is this Ah Yan's little cutie? How many secrets does my Ah Yan still hold that I'm waiting to discover?

Looking at the adorable Lin Chaoyan in front of him, he rolled his eyes. "So what if you're attracted to someone! A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions, and no one is perfect by intentions alone. If it were me in the past, I probably would have gone crazy seeing so much gold and silver..."

"He's so weak. Why would you choose such a weak person as your partner? He's far weaker than the previous master." Nidhogg's body passed through a six-pointed star array and transformed into a golden-eyed, blond-haired man. This conspicuous man was also entirely golden.

"I'm willing... Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't underestimate a young man's potential. Sooner or later he'll be strong enough to knock your head off..." Is my man someone you, my little cutie, can talk about?

These playful banter sent a shiver down Ying Zheng's spine, his eyes gleaming. He silently vowed in his heart: "Ayan, I will never let you down."

"Fine, fine, fine!! You rarely come all this way, you didn't just come here to hit me on the head, did you!" He was really shameless, and Lin Chaoyan regretted signing the master-servant contract with him and taking him in.

"You're really shameless. If you hadn't turned the warehouse into a game-like level-based challenge, would I have come to see you?" Next, we had to pass through the cultivation supplies warehouse and the medicine warehouse before we could reach our destination.
