Jiang Pan nodded repeatedly, "Wanwan is right."
Chen Yuezhi was a little worried, "Isn't it too much to trouble the old immortal like this?"
They were immortals, how could they have so much time to manage their family's trivial matters?
Jiang Wan blurted out, "The old immortal has been upgraded, and his treatment is different. He will indeed be much busier than before, but he said he would assign a little immortal boy to me, and I can find the little immortal boy for anything."
Chen Yuezhi and Jiang Pan were immediately filled with gratitude towards the old immortal!
This was not an old immortal at all, but their ancestor! And one who doted on the younger generation to an extreme!
So, Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi decided that night to open a restaurant!
Jiang Wan fiddled with the silver, "Dad, Mom, is this money enough? If not, I'll think of a way."
She had a huge sum of one thousand taels in her hand.
Jiang Pan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about the money. Even if it's not enough, Dad will find a way to solve it himself."
Jiang Wan thought about it, feeling that she couldn't solve everything. If this continued for a long time, it might make her parents overly reliant.
They needed to have their own ability to handle things.
So Jiang Wan didn't mention her own silver.
The next morning, Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi took Sanlang into the city.
After seeing off Sanlang and Chen Yuezhi, Jiang Pan went to the yamen to clock in for duty. When he was on patrol, he discreetly kept an eye out for shop rental information in the county.
Jiang Wan, as usual, went to the inn.
Gu Chenzhou was about to speak when he saw her arrive, but he noticed a subtle change in Jiang Wan.
However, when he tried to describe it, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed. She was still the same person, her appearance hadn't changed, but the feeling she gave off was different.
Jiang Wan had indeed changed, not in appearance, but in her aura.
After her ability was upgraded, she possessed a natural presence, confident and assertive.
Gu Chenzhou couldn't understand how Jiang Wan could have changed so much after just one night.
Jiang Wan said nothing. Upon arrival, she did as before, took out a storybook, crossed her heels, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed to lie beside Gu Chenzhou.
Although her ability had been upgraded, she was still far from its peak level.
The one-month period was nearing its halfway point, and she had to seize the remaining half-month to absorb energy. Although it was impossible to upgrade again in such a short time, absorbing more would improve her ability!
Gu Chenzhou had no idea how important a role he was playing. He quietly looked at the storybook, then quietly waited for her to turn the page.
It couldn't be helped, Jiang Wan didn't know many characters and had to guess her way through the storybook, so her speed naturally couldn't compare to Gu Chenzhou's.
Gu Chenzhou didn't dare to rush her, because this girl had a bad temper, and if he rushed her, she might hit him with a crutch.
Don't ask him how he knew.
His ribs still ached faintly from the blow he received yesterday.
This girl had no idea what it felt like for her divine strength to hit someone else.
Fortunately, the effects of the soft muscle pill were almost completely broken down by his body, and he could feel his strength gradually recovering.
However, he dared not show it, as he remembered what the girl had said about the one-month period with her master. It had only been half a month, and if he showed any abnormality, she might come up with some other way to deal with him.
So Gu Chenzhou continued to pretend that his body was still uncontrollable.
After reading for a whole morning, the storybook was finished. Jiang Wan got up and said to Gu Chenzhou, "I'm going to the kitchen to order dishes. After we eat this afternoon, we'll continue reading."
After her ability was upgraded, her dantian had also been strengthened and expanded. After absorbing energy all morning, it was only half full.
Tsk, it seemed that the path to future upgrades would only become more difficult.
After half a month, Gu Chenzhou would leave. Did she still have hope of upgrading in this lifetime?
She couldn't think about it; it made her heart ache.
She went downstairs, asked the waiter for three dishes, one soup, and a bowl of ginseng soup. After the dishes were served, Jiang Wan quickly dropped a soft muscle pill into the ginseng soup when no one was paying attention.
After the pill had completely dissolved, Jiang Wan carried the dishes upstairs and handed the ginseng soup to Yuanbao.
Yuanbao took the ginseng soup to feed Gu Chenzhou, while Jiang Wan sat down at the dining table, took out a new storybook, and continued reading, her expression showing no hint that she had just drugged someone.
Gu Chenzhou was too young, he never expected that Jiang Wan still had medicine.
When he realized his strength was rapidly draining, he struggled desperately to sit up, but in the end, he slumped back down weakly.
Gu Chenzhou roared, "Jiang Wan, what did you do to me!"
Jiang Wan looked up from her storybook, "Oh, nothing, just continued your medicine for half a month."
Gu Chenzhou was so angry he glared fiercely, "How dare you!"
Jiang Wan tsked, turned the page of the book, "I've already given you the medicine, and you're still asking how I dare? Are you stupid?"
Gu Chenzhou was so angry he wanted to spit blood.
He vowed that after the one-month period was over, he would make this girl pay!
He was so angry, so angry!!!
Gu Chenzhou's chest heaved violently with anger, his gaze like a tangible force, shooting towards Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan calmly continued to eat and read, enjoying her meal immensely.
Gu Chenzhou could do nothing about Jiang Wan, so he could only glare at Yuanbao.
Poor, weak, and helpless Yuanbao desperately shrank into the corner, trying to reduce his presence.
Young Master is so scary, he really wanted to cry.
He had no idea the young lady had put medicine in the soup. If he had known...
If he had known, he would still have to feed it to the young master, after all, his deed of sale was held by the young lady.
After Jiang Wan finished eating, she said to the pitiful, weak, and helpless Yuanbao, "You can go out now. Come back in the evening."
Yuanbao, as if granted a pardon, quickly cleared the bowls and chopsticks from the table and ran off.
Jiang Wan once again took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, ready to lie down, but she bumped into Gu Chenzhou's angry eyes.
"You still dare to lie down!"
Jiang Wan reached out and wiped his eyelids downwards, manually closing his eyes for him.
"You're like this, what else do I not dare to do? Don't be angry, getting angry won't change anything. Your master's instructions were very clear: keep you for a month. If it's even a day less, I lose."
"If I were you, I'd lie down peacefully, eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink. When the time comes, you'll see if I keep you."
Gu Chenzhou gritted his teeth in anger.
But as he got angrier, he suddenly deflated.
Jiang Wan was right. Since his master intended to trap him for a month, how could he possibly give him a chance to escape?
Since he couldn't leave, why struggle?
It was better to calm down and think about what he should do next.
Jiang Wan noticed that his emotions had calmed down and smiled slightly.
He was actually capable of coming to terms with it himself.
