Chapter 181 I need to smell your scent to fall asleep

Just as Ye Ling was about to observe his room, Ye Jingyan pounced on her and pinned her down on the king-size bed.

Ye Ling noticed that the tips of his ears were slightly red, and she giggled, teasing him, "President Ye, can you explain why my pajamas are with you?"

Ye Jingyan lifted her hands above her head and intertwined his fingers with hers. "It has your scent on it. I need to smell your scent to fall asleep."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her, not giving her a chance to tease him.

——

After a rustling sound came from the room, Ye Ling's fragmented voice rang out intermittently: "Jing Yan... Ye Jing Yan..."

"Yes, I'm here."

"...No, not there, don't..."

"Why not? I think it smells wonderful, it's beautiful, I love it."

Ye Lingxiu's entire body turned pink.

...[Imagine this part yourself~]

By the time they appeared on the mountaintop, half an hour had passed outside.

Upon returning to the Taoist temple, Master Zeyu hurriedly greeted them, saying, "I have prepared a simple dinner; I hope you will not find it offensive."

Ye Jingyan: "How could that be? Being able to eat a hot meal in the apocalypse is incredibly lucky."

They weren't hungry at all, but they still held hands and walked into the Taoist temple together.

Six steamed buns, potato noodle soup, and a dish of pickled vegetables—that was their dinner.

Sitting around the small wooden table, Master Zeyu gestured for them to eat, telling them not to be shy.

He picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and said to Ye Ling, "Miss Ye, Mr. Ye has already told me about L City and why you suggested canceling the formation."

I've considered this for three hours and think your method might be feasible. We've put in a lot of effort to protect the capital, but many of its inhabitants have been too well protected and have done many disappointing things.

In the apocalypse, the strong are respected and the fittest survive. Those who cannot adapt to the apocalypse will be eliminated sooner or later. I agree to remove the formation.

However, this is a decision I cannot make alone. I will go to my uncles' place tonight to discuss this matter with them.

Ye Ling picked up a steamed bun and started eating: "Tonight I will bestow a few divine trees upon you. If the formation is not removed by tomorrow morning, I will destroy it myself."

"ah?"

Master Zeyu was dumbfounded: "Forced removal?"

"That's right."

Even if we don't force a retreat, this formation won't last long; it will be breached by 9 PM tonight at the latest.

She didn't say it aloud; she wanted to see how her senior uncles would react.

Ye Ling looked at him: "I will protect the people, provided they are worthy of my protection. You should know very well what the situation is like in the capital right now. It's rotten to the core. Those people are wasting resources and harming the people."

Why keep these people alive for the New Year? Since you want me to protect the capital, you have to follow my orders. If you don't, then I'll have to use force.

"Tell your senior brothers what I have to say. If they have any objections, have them come to see me in person."

Looking at Ye Ling, who exuded an imposing aura without being angry, Daoist Zeyu swallowed hard and said, "I will certainly convey Miss Ye's words."

As Ye Jingyan watched Ye Ling's aura gradually grow stronger, even displaying the imposing presence of someone in a superior position, he felt both gratified and heartbroken.

His Lingling was forced to grow up after a series of major changes.

Ye Ling quickly finished a steamed bun and a bowl of potato noodle soup. After putting down the bowl, she said to Daoist Zeyu, "I will leave the capital tomorrow morning. Before I leave, I will clean up a group of scoundrels."

"From now on, if you have any issues, consult with Ye Jingyan. He will handle everything on my behalf."

Master Zeyu quickly looked at Ye Jingyan, who nodded slightly: "Master, let me give you a heads-up, my methods are even more ruthless than hers, so I hope you are prepared."

Master Zeyu was startled, and only one thought crossed his mind: these two people in front of him were ruthless.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Wen Yanchen and his group appeared in a noodle shop. There were still many people there. When they saw Wen Yanchen and his group, they quickly stood up and made room for them.

Now, almost everyone in the main urban area of ​​the capital knows Wen Yanchen and his group. They use ruthless methods and strength to intimidate everyone. Anyone who behaves improperly, commits murder, or causes trouble for no reason is arrested on sight.

The residents of the main urban area saw them as a source of hope and held them in high esteem.

Ye Boxuan said to the citizens, "You can sit down, there's no need for us to sit there. We can sit over there."

There were two empty seats at the corner tables; they could just squeeze in there.

"We've finished eating, please sit down. You've all had a hard day."

The guests started clearing away the dishes before the waiters even came over, saying, "You wouldn't believe it, we haven't been out to eat at night for ages, we're too scared to go out."

"After you arrived today, we saw the situation and tried going out to eat at a restaurant, and surprisingly, it was safe. You guys are our saviors!"

"That's right, you guys are our lucky stars. Sigh, although life here is better than in other places, we could be even better off without these outsiders."

Wei Chi and Chu Moqing wiped the tables and chairs clean, let Wen Mengxia and Mu Di sit down first, and then said to the boss, "Boss, give us five bowls of non-spicy, six bowls of extra spicy, and eight bowls of mildly spicy braised beef noodles."

"There are so many, we'll have to wait a while."

"It's alright, we can wait."

Jiang Yin sat next to Ye Jinyan, somewhat excited: "It's been so long since I've eaten at a noodle shop. It feels so familiar. Everything here is completely unrelated to the apocalypse. It's really amazing."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyan asked him in a low voice, "Did you often eat at noodle shops before?"

Jiang Yin nodded: "Yeah, this kind of restaurant is cheap and filling, and it even has beef and side dishes. I like it the most."

Ye Jinyan: "Then eat more later."

In the past, Ye Jinyan and his group would not have come to eat at a noodle shop like this. After all, their status and standard of living did not require them to lower themselves to eat at such a small restaurant.

But now, as they stepped into this noisy and messy little restaurant, they surprisingly accepted it without a second thought, wondering if the beef noodles would suit their taste.
