Ripples spread across the water's surface.

Immediately afterwards, Su Chen and the others surfaced one after another.

The heavy funerary objects almost prevented the group from surfacing. Only after discarding most of the objects at the bottom of the water were they able to successfully board the boat.

There were more than ten people on board who were there to provide backup.

"Mr. Su, why aren't the Ding brothers here?"

"Mr. Su, where is our master?"

People from the Ding and Jiang families gathered around.

They all wanted an answer from Su Chen, but dared not speak too loudly.

They were afraid that Su Chen would think they were forcing him.

"They're down there, waiting for you to meet them!"

As Su Chen spoke, he put the black-backed Lao Liu down from his back.

"Cough cough!"

The violent movement caused Blackback Six to cough twice.

He had already woken up, but seeing Su Chen carrying him on his back, he remained silent and pretended to continue being unconscious.

"You little rascal, you were awake a long time ago and you're still clinging to my back."

Su Chen glared at the black-backed Lao Liu.

"My whole body aches, and I can't walk."

Black-backed Old Six breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get some rest. We're done in the tomb. After taking care of a few things, we can leave."

Su Chen gave a word of advice, and then winked at Yi Xiao.

Then, Yi Xiao led the Yi family members toward the Ding and Jiang families.

Taking advantage of their inattention, they used submachine guns to kill all of them.

Then, Su Chen had the Yi family members who were still on the shore go into the water again to retrieve all the artifacts from the bottom.

Now that this matter is settled, I can finally leave.

……

Several days later, the group appeared at Yijia Village.

Yijiazhai also suffered heavy losses this time, with nearly twenty young men forever lost in the ancestral homeland.

Some died when facing zombies, while others were killed by the Ding and Jiang families.

The people brought by the Ding and Jiang families were almost completely wiped out.

"After a period of rest, you will take the Yi family to take over the Ding and Jiang families," Su Chen instructed.

The Ding and Jiang families are no longer a threat.

"Should we drive them all away?"

Yi Xiao pondered.

"Kill them all!"

Su Chen ordered, "Eliminate evil completely!"

Now that things have escalated to this point, if we don't kill the Ding and Jiang families, are we just going to wait for them to come looking for revenge?

Su Chen wasn't afraid, but there were still many people in Su Family Village.

Those were all relatives of Su Chen, people with whom he shared a deep bond of blood.

Su Chen was unwilling to let them suffer retaliation from the Ding and Jiang families.

"it is good!"

Yi Xiao nodded, "Then..."

She wanted to ask something, but hesitated and stopped herself from speaking.

"what happened?"

Su Chen asked.

"nothing!"

Yi Xiao shook her head.

She knew in her heart that Su Chen would leave after the Zuyuan Golden Soup was finished.

Yi Xiao really wanted to leave with Su Chen.

However, she is also the head of the Yi family, and there are still many things to do, especially eliminating the remnants of the Ding and Jiang families.

When Yi Xiao looked at Su Chen, her eyes were full of affection.

If Su Chen could stay in the Yi family a little longer, that would be great.

"Come to the Su family when the time comes, and I'll send some people to help you eliminate the Ding and Jiang families."

Su Chen gave a word of advice.

After the Ding and Jiang families were destroyed, only the Yi family remained among the Three Rivers Water Demons.

They can control three great rivers and have inexhaustible treasures.

……

Night falls and the bright moon hangs high.

A gentle evening breeze caressed the bamboo grove beside the bamboo house, which swayed in the moonlight.

Su Chen lay on the bed, gazing at the full moon.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and Yi Xiao walked in openly, no longer sneaking around like before.

She skillfully took off her clothes and lay down next to Su Chen.

And so, an hour later, Su Chen was drenched in sweat.

Yi Xiao nestled affectionately against Su Chen's chest and whispered, "Will you marry me? I don't ask for anything else, I just want a title."

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

Su Chen hugged Yi Xiao tightly.

What's done is done, and the die is cast.

Su Chen would definitely not abandon Yi Xiao.

Moreover, Yi Xiao is quite beautiful, and her figure is top-notch.

Su Chen then stayed at the Yi family's house for about another week.

Within this week, Su Chen and Yi Xiao got married.

However, the system did not provide any notification, so it seems that even after marriage, Yi Xiao is still a member of the Yi family.

Once she relinquishes her position as clan leader and becomes a completely free person, she should be able to go and find Su Chen.

Yi Xiao believes that day is not far off.

Once she has dealt with the Ding and Jiang families and stabilized the Yi family, she can become a hands-off manager.

……

A week of rest and recuperation.

Blackback Six's injuries have almost healed. Although his face is still a little pale, he can already walk.

A bright and sunny morning.

Su Chen, along with Black-backed Old Six, Su Yitian, and Su Hu, set off to return to Su Family Village.

After a long and arduous journey, it was several days before they finally returned to Changsha City.

The first thing Su Chen did after leaving the train station was head straight to his family's antique shop.

The shop is almost finished with renovations.

The owner, Nian Yinxinyue, sat on the counter, gently rubbing her forehead as she looked at the shop's furnishings.

There are basically no major problems, except that some of the store's prized possessions are missing.

"Ta Tata..."

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from behind.

"Our shop is not open for business yet, so you may be disappointed if you are looking to buy anything."

Yin Xinyue said without looking up.

"I'm not here to buy anything, I'm here to see the shop owner, is that alright?"

Su Chen responded with a smile.

Yin Xinyue heard a familiar voice and her face lit up. She immediately stood up from the stool and excitedly rushed into Su Chen's arms, "You're finally back."

During this time, Yin Xinyue was alone in her room, and she missed him terribly.

"Things are almost done, and we're rushing home, but it's too far." Su Chen gently patted Yin Xinyue. "Let's go home first."

"Xiao Chen!"

Uncle Si heard the noise and came downstairs. “You’ve been gone for quite a while this time.”

Seeing her elders come down, Yin Xinyue shyly broke free from Su Chen's embrace and stood beside him.

As the clan chief's wife, she must always be mindful of her words and actions.

"The journey is long and the roads are impassable, there's nothing we can do."

Su Chen smiled and asked, "Fourth Uncle, how's the shop renovation going?"

"It's basically finished, we're just waiting for the opening ceremony," Uncle Si said. "That's why we're waiting for you to come back and give us your opinion."

"First, pick an auspicious day, and then invite some celebrities and prominent families to liven things up."

Booking inns and banquets, hiring acrobatic performances... there are so many things to do, big and small.

My fourth uncle has been so exhausted lately that he can barely straighten his back.

"Not bad!"

Su Chen went upstairs and then to the backyard. After the tour, he felt that the money was well spent.

It was basically decorated according to my own ideas.
