The girl had lived in the undersea ocean for a long time and had no idea what the outside world was like, but she always yearned for beautiful things in her heart. When she reached the surface, she discovered how wonderful the sunshine, yachts, beautiful clothes, and friends who spoke kindly to her were.

But she also harbored a fear of the unknown world, afraid that she couldn't integrate into the new world.

"It's okay," Ye Fan said with a smile, "Come with us. You don't understand, but we can teach you slowly."

After thinking for a while, the girl finally nodded and said, "Okay."

Wu Ding sighed nearby, "Junior brother, you really have some skills. You went to the underground once and brought back a beautiful girl. But... what's really on your mind, Zhao Jun, you'd better think carefully and not let your sweetheart fool around outside."

The girl couldn't understand any of what she said.

Li Zhaojun said, "Senior Wu Ding, you're joking."

Ye Fan brought the girl out while the interrogation of Song Zhao and his young uncle Song Xian continued. Song Zhao preferred death over surrender, but his young nephew Song Xian didn't have such a hard backbone.

"Ah... it was all arranged by my uncle... it has nothing to do with me... please, let me go..." Song Xian's Spiritual Energy was rapidly leaking out as he pleaded.

Wu Ding's face was cold and terrifying, "If you don't speak, we'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish and let you experience the feeling of being gradually eaten by small fish!"

"Senior Sister, that's unnecessary. Once we find the people who work with them, we'll know what their conspiracy is," Ye Fan said. "When they were negotiating terms with Tang Boheng, besides discussing the oil exploration rights in the East Sea, they also mentioned some private villas along the coast of the East Sea. Let's go have a look; we might find something."

Although Ye Fan let Song Zhao and his nephew go, he didn't kill them right away or throw them into the sea to feed the fish, nor did he stop the leakage of True Qi from their bodies.

The group set off from the sea platform, taking a yacht back to the shores tens of kilometers away, as it was daytime, making flying inconvenient.

When they reached the shore, Han Qing'er's call came through. In the past few hours, Han Qing'er had taken over all of Tang Boheng's assets and informed Ye Fan of the locations of some private villas owned by Tang Boheng along the East Sea coast.

"...Master, this maid will fly over to serve you," Han Qing'er said humbly on the other end of the phone, having entirely considered herself Ye Fan's servant.

"No need to rush, let's talk once you get here."

Ye Fan hung up the phone. By then, the Han firm had sent a special car and driver, all women. Han Qing'er was very thoughtful in some arrangements, knowing that there were quite a few ladies around Ye Fan and hiring male drivers would be inconvenient. These female drivers were also under Han Qing'er's control through some extraordinary means.

If Han Qing'er could be considered Ye Fan's slave, these women were Han Qing'er's slaves. Han Qing'er could even dispose of them at will.

"Mr. Ye, Miss Han instructed us to take good care of you. Where would you like to go?" asked a female driver, who seemed to be in charge of reception.

"To the original Tang family's mansion on the coast!"

After Ye Fan finished speaking, he leaned against Li Zhaojun's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest.

After these few days of exhaustion, Ye Fan had little time for adjusting his breath. He no longer needed to eat, sleep, or use the bathroom, but still felt tired as he still bore injuries.

Upon reaching the mansion, they opened it to find it luxuriously furnished, with standalone villas prepared by Tang Boheng as a seaside resort that had yet to open.

"This place isn't bad," Ye Fan said as he opened the curtains and looked at the view of the East Sea outside. "Before we find those with malicious intent from Taiyuan Star, I need to adjust my breath. Zhao Jun, Shang, accompany Qing Xu and Miss Lan inside first."

The undersea guardian girl approached, looking at Ye Fan with a puzzled expression.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Since you don't have a name, and you are intricately linked to the blue crystal, how about I call you Lan Jing from now on?"

"Lan Jing?" The girl thought it over, "Okay."

Li Zhaojun said, "Lan Jing, it does suit her temperament. Miss Lan, go inside and change into a few outfits to see which one fits you best..."

Women always have topics to discuss together, be it shopping, clothing, diet, or cosmetics. Initially, they could also talk about boyfriends, but Li Zhaojun knew Lan Jing's heart was like pure jade, so she used "material" to entice her to understand the beauty of a mortal life.

The Han firm had prepared some women's products for Ye Fan, including branded clothes, cosmetics, decorations, and so forth. Neither Min Shang, Lan Jing, nor Qing Xu knew about makeup, not even Wu Ding. With Li Zhaojun as the professional guide among a group of women, they could understand how women on Earth adorned themselves and made themselves more radiant.

Women had their own circle, while Elder Wu and Li Bei, considered "old antiques," found leisure in sitting together, playing chess, drinking tea, and continuing the interrogation of the Song family uncle and nephew.

As for Ye Fan, he needed to adjust his breath in his room, where his Spiritual Energy was slightly disordered.

The battle with Lan Jing underwater had severely depleted his Spiritual Energy, requiring him to sit down and carefully adjust his breath.

In a room facing the sun, Ye Fan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, operating his Spiritual Energy for dozens of cycles until it gradually stabilized. When he opened his eyes, Li Zhaojun was standing beside him, gazing at him with warm eyes.

"Why did you come over?" Ye Fan asked.

"Senior Wu Ding and Miss Lan are trying on clothes, so I came to see you, afraid you might..." Li Zhaojun said, her face somewhat shy, fearing the Desire Pill in Ye Fan's body might continue affecting him. Given the excessive depletion of Spiritual Energy earlier, it might become unruly, so she voluntarily came to "offer herself."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Zhao Jun, you seem to be getting more considerate. But I... am fine. After all, this morning, with Shang..."

Just as Ye Fan was about to mention the events of the morning, Li Zhaojun put a finger on his lips and said with feigned annoyance, "You took advantage of both me and my sister Shang, so stop talking about it. If you think I'm not enough, I'll call my sister Shang over."

As she spoke, Li Zhaojun seemed angry and stood to leave, but Ye Fan pulled her into his arms.

"In my heart, there's only you," Ye Fan whispered softly.

Though Ye Fan's words had a hint of insincerity, at that moment, his heart indeed only held Li Zhaojun. He liked her transformation from a cold queen into a gentle, tender, and affectionate wife by his side.

Li Zhaojun was also slightly moved, and they kissed, as if not caring about anything else around them, only cherishing having each other.

"It's truly a rare moment of tenderness," Ye Fan said with a smile after their lips parted.

Li Zhaojun glared at Ye Fan, her hand pressed against his shoulder, and then got up to go to the bedroom opposite: "Since you're fine, I'll go call Sister Shang and Miss Lan for makeup..."
