Chapter 10 Chapter Trouble with the Ye Family

'He's not entirely without merit.'

'At the very least, the food he prepares tastes incredibly good.'

Recalling the recent dining experience, Chen Shiyan's cheeks slightly flushed.

What a moment of embarrassment!

Barking like a dog in front of him, she must has been out of her mind at that time.

"Chen Shiyan, next time, be more reserved; you can't embarrass yourself like this." she scolded herself.

She then walked over and played with Luo Luo,

Inside the room, laughter and joy filled the air.

It was eight o'clock in the evening.

Luo Luo started watching cartoons, Chen Shiyan and Su Chen sat beside her, keeping her company.

A few moments later, Chen Shiyan's phone rang.

She went to the chair in front of the living room window and picked up the call.

Bai Qianqian: "Big boss, are you at my rented place?"

Chen Shiyan replied, "Yes, I am."

"How does it feel?" Bai Qianqian inquired.

"What do you mean?" Chen Shiyan asked in response.

"It's about Su Chen; how do you think he treats Luo Luo?" Bai Qianqian continued.

"Oh, he's alright, quite good." Chen Shiyan hesitated for a moment before responding.

"Ha, I told you so. Despite his questionable character, Su Chen genuinely cares for Luo Luo." Bai Qianqian said with a laugh. "Otherwise, how could I entrust Luo Luo to him? By the way, big boss, how's the situation at Mount Panlong? Did it affect the filming progress?"

Talking about this matter added to Chen Shiyan's stress.

She touched her forehead and said helplessly, "Don't even mention it. Just now, that Elder Li called me and informed me that the owner of Mount Panlong has returned and intends to rebuild it. I don't know what's wrong with that person. The manor is so high-end and luxurious, and it's all ready-made. Why does he want to rebuild it? I just can't understand."

Su Chen: ?

He glanced at Chen Shiyan in confusion.

Listening to her words, he understood a few things.

This godmother of Luo Luo's is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Mount Panlong drama today, and she is the granddaughter of Li Cheng's friend.

However, Su Chen didn't react much.

Mount Panlong must be rebuilt.

Are those ten dilapidated manors still considered high-end?

As the princess's residence he wants to create, shouldn't there be a formation around the mountain?

Shouldn't there be a spiritual treasure that nourishes people?

Shouldn't there be guardian beasts for the mountain?

At this moment, Su Chen was contemplating how to create the princess's residence.

He's still waiting for the architectural design master that Li Cheng is looking for, though.

It's necessary to brainstorm.

Su Chen understands that he hasn't had much experience in the modern world; his perspective is almost from a different era.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a daughter.

But now that Luo Luo is here, it's important to consider things in more detail.

Su Chen held Luo Luo in his arms and watched cartoons with her, all the while planning the layout of Mount Panlong.

Not far away, Chen Shiyan was still on the phone with Bai Qianqian.

"I can't inquire today. I plan to visit Elder Li tomorrow evening to get the information we need."

Chen Shiyan said softly, "You can rest assured here. With me around, Luo Luo will be fine. Tomorrow, we plan to go to Disneyland for some fun. I'll also take the day off to rest."

"Alright, no more talking. The day after tomorrow, we'll go out for lunch to welcome you."

"As for that Li Kun from Tai Cang, I've asked someone to check on the situation, but I haven't received any news yet. Once I have information, I'll let you know."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shiyan rubbed her forehead and felt a bit exhausted.

The issues with her own film crew still hadn't been resolved.

If they can't film at Mount Panlong, it would mean losing a lot of money for her production, and for the Jinxiu Entertainment, it could be financially devastating, maybe even pushing them towards bankruptcy. It's a tough situation!

Then there's the matter of Li Kun, the young scion of the powerful Li family in Tai Cang City, targeting Bai Qianqian. That's another headache.

And on top of all that, there's Luo Luo. She needs to keep an eye on Su Chen to see if he can handle this. That's a concern as well.

All these issues coming together were making Chen Shiyan feel weary.

After sitting by the window for a few moments, it was 9:30 p.m.

"Luo Luo, it's time for us to go to bed."

Chen Shiyan said with a smile as she approached the sofa.

"Hmm?"

Luo Luo hesitated, wiggling her little arms and muttering, "Mommy Shiyan, I want to sleep with Daddy."

"Let's sleep with your godmother." Chen Shiyan suggested.

Su Chen thought that it would be more appropriate for her to take care of his daughter when it comes to bedtime.

Throughout history, military generals and nobles rarely put their children to bed personally.

"Luo Luo, sleep with your godmother, and tomorrow Daddy will take you out to play." Su Chen said with a gentle smile.

Luo Luo pouted, looking a bit reluctant, and raised her little arms, saying, "Daddy, hug."

Su Chen smiled and embraced Luo Luo.

"Daddy, Luo Luo is good. Tomorrow, Daddy will take Luo Luo out to play." Luo Luo whispered.

The little princess was reluctant to leave her father's side but also excited about the prospect of tomorrow.

Chen Shiyan picked up Luo Luo and headed to the bedroom for some rest.

Su Chen, on the other hand, went to the guest room, changed into his pajamas, lay down on the bed, and began to gather his thoughts.

"Now that my soul is injured and not fully recovered, my cultivation level is stable at the peak of the Fruition stage. It seems that I need to focus on healing my soul and then aim to break through to the Rebirth stage again."

"First, let's prioritize healing and recovery. The process of breaking through to the next stage can wait. Perhaps, once my injuries are fully healed, I can attempt to reach the Supreme Rebirth stage"

Su Chen fell into contemplation for a while before commencing his meditation.

The night swiftly passed.

The next morning at 7 o'clock, as Su Chen was also willing to have Chen Shiyan accompany Luo Luo, he brought her breakfast portion along while preparing breakfast.

It's still a four-course meal.

Chen Shiyan awoke to the aroma of the dishes and was filled with happiness in an instant.

"Hey, Su Chen, you may be a bit of a scoundrel, but you're an absolute genius in the kitchen! You're the boss, and I truly admire you." Chen Shiyan gave a thumbs-up to Su Chen.

Ever since Chen Shiyan's stomach was conquered yesterday, she found Su Chen much more appealing.

Su Chen continued to stir-fry the vegetables in the wok, casting a glance at Chen Shiyan without saying anything in response.

Breakfast was quickly served.

This time, without Su Chen's reminder, Chen Shiyan went to tidy up the kitchen by herself.

The next step was preparing for the day ahead.

Chen Shiyan styled Luo Luo's hair into two cute little ponytails.

Dressing up the little princess to look adorable and refined.

Su Chen observed this with a contented heart.

One might say that when it comes to dressing, men tend to be more casual, while women are more meticulous.

They were all dressed up and ready to go.

"Luo Luo, sweetheart, we're going to Disneyland to have fun." Chen Shiyan said with a cheerful smile.

"Mm-hmm."

Luo Luo replied, pursing her small lips and leaning against Su Chen's embrace, smiling shyly.

"Let's go." Su Chen exclaimed, lifting Luo Luo's little arm and guiding them with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, let's go!" Luo Luo raised her other little arm and cheered enthusiastically.

As the saying goes, parents are a child's first teachers.

Leading by example is crucial.

In Su Chen's view, Luo Luo's personality was already developing in a positive direction.

He felt truly content.

Su Chen laughed heartily and carried the little princess out the door.

This time, they didn't need to take the subway.

Chen Shiyan's car was parked downstairs.

They got into her black Audi A8L, and Chen Shiyan drove them to Disneyland.

Throughout the journey, the little princess, Luo Luo, wore a delighted expression.

After an hour of driving, they arrived at their destination.

Outside the theme park was Disney Town, where they could shop, dine, buy souvenirs, and visit specialty shops.

Su Chen held Luo Luo in his arms as they strolled down the street, and at one point, Chen Shiyan even purchased two rabbit hairpins to wear on her head.

To onlookers, they appeared to be a family with remarkably high levels of charm.

The husband was handsome, the wife was alluring, and the daughter resembled a princess straight out of a fairy tale, radiating beauty.

As they walked along, they drew the attention of many passersby.

"We're going to have fun!" Luo Luo nestled in Su Chen's arms, feeling secure, and her voice was much louder than usual as she cheered with excitement.

Progress!

Definite progress!

Su Chen chuckled heartily.

It was gratifying to see that his daughter was finally becoming more cheerful.

Chen Shiyan went to purchase VIP tickets, which saved them a significant amount of time waiting in line.

Because Princess Luo Luo is still very young, she cannot enjoy many of the projects.

For example, the thrilling rapids, a game where you ride a boat and go with the flow.

Or the time flyer, which offers the thrill of speed.

These activities aren't suitable for young children.

Inside the amusement park, there are many themed areas that are suitable for Luo Luo to enjoy, such as the animated world. You can take a small cart and move forward, experiencing a visual feast.

There's also a rowing activity that Luo Luo finds very enjoyable.

After spending the whole day exploring, at 8:10 in the evening, they sit in front of the castle and watch a magnificent fireworks display.

This moment!

Luo Luo was extremely happy.

But after the happiness, Luo Luo started to feel a bit down.

Sitting in the car, Chen Shiyan was busy with her phone, selecting photos to share with her friends.

She had a great time today, even though it delayed some things and she didn't get to visit Li Cheng.

She plans to take care of business tomorrow.

In the backseat, Luo Luo pursed her little mouth, and there were faint tears in her beautiful big eyes.

"Luo Luo, what's wrong? Are you feeling unhappy?" Su Chen asked gently, holding her in his arms.

"Daddy, why doesn't mommy want me...?" Luo Luo weakly said.

Seeing her daughter like this, Su Chen's heart trembled deeply.

"Mommy just has some important matters to attend to." Su Chen reassured her.

"Yes," Chen Shiyan quickly added, turning her head. "Luo Luo, your mommy will probably come back soon because she has some very important things to take care of. Let's be patient and wait for her. She doesn't not want you; she's always thinking about you."

"Yeah..." Luo Luo responded softly, still not in high spirits.

Sighing lightly, Chen Shiyan quickly posted a message on her social media, then put down her phone and drove back to their rental home.

Meanwhile, Su Chen remained silent for a few moments.

It seems that the trouble Ye Qingning has encountered was even greater than he had imagined.

The entire Dark Shadow Hall has been mobilized, but for several days, they have been unable to find any information about the Ye family.

This is clearly abnormal.

"Ye family... Could they have accidentally entered some forbidden place?" Su Chen furrowed his brow slightly.

When he initially sensed his own bloodline in the Kunlun Mountains, he should have been able to sense Ye Qingning's presence through Luo Luo's bloodline.

But in this world, there seems to be no trace of Ye Qingning.

There are two possible explanations for this.

One, Ye Qingning may have already met with an accident. However, this possibility is relatively low since the Ye family is a prominent one, and news of any threat would likely spread quickly.

The second possibility is that Ye Qingning has become trapped in a forbidden place.

What exactly is a forbidden place?

It refers to certain neglected and perilous small worlds.

The small worlds are a parallel dimension closely tied to Earth. Through unique means, one can enter these worlds. Some small worlds are easy to enter but challenging to exit.

The Kunlun Mountain Immortal Cultivation Dojo belongs to a large and stable small world space.

This particular small world currently belongs solely to Su Chen.

Therefore, in Su Chen's view, the likelihood of Ye Qingning accidentally entering a restricted area is higher.

"It appears that I must personally visit Xihang City." Su Chen contemplated while gazing at the street outside his car window.

A loving mother's role in a child's healthy upbringing is indispensable.

While he was deep in thought, Su Chen's phone rang.

The caller was Feng Wuya, renowned as the Demon King.

Upon answering, Feng Wuya uttered a single sentence, "Master, the Ye family members have ventured into the Heavenly Cloud Forbidden Land and the Forest of Lost Souls. My subordinates are incapable of bringing them out."

As expected!

Su Chen furrowed his brows slightly and replied, "I will go there myself tomorrow."

With that, he ended the call.

It's truly puzzling how the Ye family, a mere business family, dares to approach restricted areas.

"Oh?" Chen Shiyan chuckled from the front seat, "Going there in person? That's quite bold. Could it be that our Su Chen is also a big shot?"
