A contract? Ye Xing paused for a moment, then reacted and said, "No problem, I'll write it for you right away!"
"Hmm! Then wait for me for a while!" Yun Ling said, turned, and entered the forest.
Ye Xing blinked in confusion, then took out the paper and pen he carried.
Ye Xing wrote the contract with vigorous strokes.
"This should be it!" Ye Xing said with satisfaction, handing the contract to Yun Ling.
Yun Ling glanced at Ye Xing's contract, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled, "Hmm, your handwriting is really beautiful!"
Ye Xing's ears turned slightly red, and he quickly said, "I can only write these few words!"
Ye Xing could only write the character 'Xing' and nothing else.
However, he was very clever. For every character he wrote, he combined his own name with Ye Chen's, rather than just writing a surname. This way, it could represent Ye Chen's surname.
"Heh heh," Yun Ling chuckled and said, "Your writing is already very good. As for the rest, I'll teach you slowly!"
"Hmm hmm!" Ye Xing nodded quickly, his beautiful purple eyes fixed on Yun Ling.
Ye Xing looked at Yun Ling, his eyes filled with intense love. He knew that he would never be able to take his eyes off Yun Ling in this lifetime, and he would not give up even if he died.
Yun Ling also noticed Ye Xing's gaze and looked up at him.
"What?" Yun Ling blinked and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ling'er!" Ye Xing suddenly called out to Yun Ling.
"Hmm?" Yun Ling blinked at Ye Xing.
"I like you!" Ye Xing's eyes gazed deeply at Yun Ling, and he said with firm conviction, "I don't care about concubines or mistresses. As long as you don't abandon me, I will never abandon you! In this life, as long as you, Yun Ling, are here, I, Ye Xing, will never change! I, Ye Xing, belong to you!"
Ye Xing's vows shocked Yun Ling.
Yun Ling's phoenix eyes stared intently at Ye Xing's purple eyes, as if bewitched, she fell into Ye Xing's affections, unable to recover for a long time.
Seeing Yun Ling fall into silence, Ye Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a flustered manner, "Ling'er, did you… did you agree?"
Yun Ling blinked, looked at Ye Xing, and asked, "Why should I refuse? Don't you like me very much? I'm not stupid, why should I refuse?"
"I..." Ye Xing was stunned by Yun Ling's words and could not speak for a long time.
Yun Ling looked at Ye Xing, a triumphant smile flashing in her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I promise you! However, I am not the kind of person who only talks about feelings and not responsibility. If you dare to betray me, even if I die, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
Hearing Yun Ling say this, Ye Xing was so excited that he almost pounced on her and kissed her fiercely.
However, thinking that Yun Ling was now his nominal fiancée, he dared not act rashly. He could only suppress his impulses and said, "I promise, in this life, there will only be you, I will only love you, and I will be forever loyal to you! If I break this oath, may heaven and earth destroy me!"
Looking at the serious young man before her, Yun Ling's lips curved slightly, and a strange warmth stirred within her.
She knew Ye Xing's feelings for her, and she knew he said this because he loved her. Yet, a peculiar warmth rose from somewhere deep in her heart.
Ye Xing looked at Yun Ling and said again, "Ling'er, we are engaged now. Can we sleep in the same bed?"
"Uh… this, yes!" Yun Ling was slightly taken aback, not expecting Ye Xing to make such a shy request.
However, she knew Ye Xing's character all too well.
Although he was indeed a normal man and liked her stunning beauty very much.
He had never overstepped his bounds with her, let alone made any improper moves.
Therefore, Ye Xing's words implied: he really wanted to sleep with her!
Yun Ling's lips twitched twice. She knew what Ye Xing was thinking, but she would not agree.
Hearing this, Ye Xing felt a little disappointed, a little dejected, and a hint of grievance mixed in.
"I'll go take a bath first, and then I'll come to serve you!" Ye Xing said to Yun Ling.
"You want to take a bath? No need for so much trouble, just take a hot bath in the bathroom!" Yun Ling pouted slightly and said.
"No, I want to bathe by the pool!" Ye Xing shook his head, insisting on his idea.
"Alright!" Yun Ling looked at Ye Xing and could only nod, "Then you go take a bath first, and then come find me after you're done!"
Yun Ling turned and left, heading towards her room.
Ye Xing watched Yun Ling's retreating back, a faint smile appearing on his lips, then he turned and headed towards the pool.
Yun Ling returned to her room, surveyed her surroundings, and finally sat on the bed to rest for a moment. Then, she stood up, preparing to cultivate.
As soon as Yun Ling stood up, a dark figure leaped rapidly into the room from outside the window.
Yun Ling turned her head and saw the man in black.
The man in black saw Yun Ling turn, then quickly walked up to her, clasped his fists, and said to Yun Ling, "Greetings, Mistress!"
Yun Ling looked at the man in black before her and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
The man in black said respectfully, "Your subordinate is an elite guard from the Ye Family Fort, ordered to protect your safety and not let anyone approach you!"
"An elite guard from the Ye Family Fort?" Yun Ling raised an eyebrow, "Did Ye Xing send you to protect me?"
"Replying to Mistress, yes!" the man in black replied respectfully.
Yun Ling nodded slightly and said, "What is your name?"
"Your subordinate is Ye Feng!" the man in black replied.
"Ye Feng, how long have you been following me?" Yun Ling asked again.
"Replying to Mistress, your subordinate has been in the Ye Family Fort since the Mistress was sent back, and is still here!" Ye Feng replied honestly.
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Yun Ling's lips twitched a few times. Was this considered following her all along?
How did she not realize that there were people hidden around her in this Ye Family Fort?
"How long have you been following me?" Yun Ling asked again.
"Replying to Mistress, your subordinate has been following the Mistress since you were born, and has always been by your side until the Mistress successfully advanced to the Ninth-Rank Immortal Emperor!" Ye Feng replied respectfully.
Ye Xing had accompanied Yun Ling since birth, and had also protected Yun Ling's life.
Therefore, Ye Feng was loyal to Yun Ling and would never have any ulterior motives.
Hearing Ye Feng's answer, Yun Ling nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your loyalty is unquestionable. Don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly! Now tell me about the Ye Family Fort!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng quickly replied respectfully, "Yes! Mistress!"
Thus, Ye Feng briefly explained the matters of the Ye Family Fort to Yun Ling.
