# Chapter 628: Am I Taking Too Much?
At the dinner table, Ye Zhenguo sat in the host's seat, while the rest of the Ye family had all taken their places!
Jiangnan and the others naturally received a warm reception!
After all, since the very beginning with the "iron pot stewing a loli" incident, Jiangnan and the Ye family had always maintained a good private relationship.
And as members of the Ye family, everyone naturally understood Jiangnan's importance—this was a young man with infinite possibilities!
Naturally, no one was foolish enough to oppose him.
Only Ye Haitao felt incredibly uncomfortable. Every time he remembered how Jiangnan had been kissing his daughter's face earlier, he felt a murderous urge!
Zhong Yingxue and the others also looked somewhat restrained. After all, this was the Ye family!
The person in the host seat was a Dao Heaven. Just what kind of connections did Xiao Nan have out there?
This was too impressive. Even now, they still hadn't fully adjusted!
Seeing Ye Ye clinging to Jiangnan, constantly adding food to his bowl, Ye Haitao felt a pang in his stomach!
But as the host family, he naturally wouldn't neglect the guests: "Haha, everyone eat and drink well. Don't treat yourselves as outsiders!"
"This little brother, why don't you take off that sleeve for now? It's not convenient for eating!"
Xiong Er scratched his head: "This isn't a sleeve!"
Ye Haitao was stunned: "Then it's beast transformation? Is this some new cultivation method? You don't need to maintain your beast form while eating!"
Xiong Er: (๑•̌㉨•̑๑) "Well... Uncle Ye, I'm a spirit beast. I can't turn into a human..."
As soon as he spoke, every member of the Ye family stared wide-eyed, their jaws practically falling onto the table!
What the hell? This... he... I...
Has the world gone this crazy?
And he even knows to call me Uncle Ye? You're not some black bear spirit, are you?
Xiao Jiuwo looked confused: "Master~ Why are they all..."
"Thud!"
The Ye family's jaws fell from the table to the floor!
What's going on? Why can a spirit beast talk?
Has cultural invasion happened?
Ye Zhenguo: "Th-this... what's there to be surprised about? You haven't seen the world! Don't embarrass me, all of you!"
Everyone was speechless. Old man, before you lecture us, could you at least pick your own jaw up off the floor before speaking?
Jiangnan smiled: "The academy is doing development in the spirit pet field. I'm part of the first batch. Everyone should be able to see spirit pets in a while, right?"
Ye Ye's eyes sparkled as she looked at Xiao Jiuwo with envy: "Grandpa! Ye Ye wants a spirit pet too!"
Xiong Er sucked in a sharp breath. This little girl had amazing language talent!
If I said it, it would definitely become yeyeyeyeye~
Ye Zhenguo's face darkened: "Where am I supposed to catch one for you? Ask your Brother Jiangnan!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to grab his chopsticks!
And at the seat, Jiangnan, who had been observing Ye Zhenguo's movements from the corner of one eye, instantly vanished from his seat!
(｡ಠ‸ಡ｡)
He appeared outside the villa, looking like he was about to run away!
Ye Zhenguo: ...
What kind of reaction speed is this?
"What the hell are you running for? I said I won't hit you, so I won't hit you!"
Jiangnan looked embarrassed: "Ah-ha~ Ahaha~ Is that so? I was just lightening the mood!"
Xia Yao looked curious. Just what kind of heinous thing had Xiao Nan done that even Ye the Dao Heaven was thinking about hitting him?
Ye Zhenguo grinned: "But this is your first time at my Ye house, and you come empty-handed? Aren't you going to bring something as a token?"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up: "How could that be? I think about Elder Brother Ye day and night!"
As soon as he spoke, every Ye family member at the table turned green in the face!
This super-double move of yours—how are we supposed to handle this?
Jiangnan pulled five Marrow Cleansing Fruits from his pocket and handed them to Ye Ye: "Here~ Eat them as a snack in your bed tonight!"
Ye Ye looked at Jiangnan with confusion!
Ye Zhenguo's face flushed red, his eyes gleaming: "If your Brother Jiangnan gives them to you, take them! Remember to eat them later!"
How could he not know the power of the Marrow Cleansing Fruit?
After all, he had helped Jiangnan take down the Yun family once before just for these!
With these five fruits, Ye Ye's talent would definitely max out at SSS+. As long as she wasn't lazy, her future achievements would be limitless!
Now Ye Zhenguo was happy, laughing heartily: "Come! Come! Let's eat! Let's us brothers have a drink! Haitao, go get that bottle of '82 Maotai for me!"
Ye Haitao went to fetch the liquor with a dark face!
Jiangnan was stunned. '82 Maotai? That must be worth a pretty penny!
At the table, Jiangnan and Ye Zhenguo really started drinking, and one bottle of Maotai was soon empty!
His face red, Ye Zhenguo waved his hand grandly: "Little brother has quite the capacity for liquor!"
Jiangnan patted his chest: "Little Whirlwind of Jiangcheng—no matter how I drink, I never get dizzy!"
Ye Zhenguo: "Go get more liquor! Today we must drink to our satisfaction!"
Three rounds of wine, five courses of food. After three bottles of Maotai, Ye Zhenguo's head was swimming from the drink. Jiangnan himself had drunk 27 bottles of Maotai, leaving Ye Haitao dumbfounded!
If Zhong Yingxue hadn't noticed Jiangnan using a glass jar under the table to catch the liquor leaking through a space wormhole...
She would have been scared too!
Jiangnan saw that Elder Brother Ye was completely soused and couldn't help but grin slyly!
Now's the time!
"Everyone, keep eating. I'll take Elder Brother Ye out for some fresh air!"
Saying this, he helped Ye Zhenguo and teleported to the villa's courtyard!
......
The moon was bright, the stars sparse, as Jiangnan and Ye Zhenguo walked along a path paved with cobblestones!
Jiangnan: "Elder Brother Ye, Ye Ye's talent level is about to max out, right?"
Ye Zhenguo laughed heartily: "Isn't that thanks to you, kid? Ye Ye's dragon transformation is most like mine. One day, she'll inherit my legacy!"
Jiangnan: "That's not right, Elder Brother. As an elder, you can't play favorites with your grandchildren!"
"Ye Ye's talent is maxed out now, so she'll cultivate quickly. How do you think Xing Xuan will feel? Won't she be upset?"
Ye Zhenguo was taken aback: "That's true. What? You have designs on my Xing Xuan? If you like her, I can play matchmaker! Hehe, but only if you max out her talent too!"
"No! Forget it! If you became my grandson-in-law, you'd wreck the Ye family!"
Jiangnan grinned slyly: "How about this, Elder Brother Ye? You help me take care of someone, and I'll max out Xing Xuan's talent level—what do you say?"
Ye Zhenguo's face darkened: "You little brat, this was your plan all along, wasn't it? No deal, no deal!"
"I'm a Dao Heaven! You really want me to be your enforcer? Don't I have any face to save?"
Jiangnan: "What the hell does face matter? One move from you, Elder Brother, and it could change Xing Xuan's entire life!"
"Otherwise, Xing Xuan will definitely feel unbalanced. If she knew that all Grandpa needed to do was make one little move to get a chance to max out her talent..."
"But Grandpa refused because of 'face.' How heartbroken would she be? She might not even like you anymore!"
Ye Zhenguo curled his lip: "Ridiculous. If I don't tell Xing Xuan, how would she know?"
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "I'll go tell her!"
Ye Zhenguo: ???
"You son of a..."
[From Ye Zhenguo's Resentment Value +666!]
Can't you do something human for once?
"I'm not going! Don't even think about it! I'm a Dao Heaven! Every move I make is being watched!"
"If I just go around beating whoever I want, wouldn't the country fall into chaos?"
Jiangnan: "I'll max out Ye Xinghe's too!"
Ye Zhenguo: "Tell me! Who do I need to take down? Your Elder Brother Ye will handle it for you!"
Jiangnan: (٥≖_≖)
Where did your reserve go just now?
So you were just haggling with me? You made it sound pretty convincing!
"Blood Alliance's Wan Dongchen. Low-level Starlight. One slap from you, Elder Brother Ye, and it's done!"
Ye Zhenguo was stunned: "Starlight? Can't you take care of a Starlight yourself?"
Jiangnan's face darkened. Why does everyone treat me like some kind of immortal?
"If I could actually handle it, wouldn't I have done it myself?"
Ye Zhenguo stroked his chin: "The Blood Alliance, huh? They have been making too big moves lately. The higher-ups have been wanting to rein them in too. Wan Dongchen can be dealt with!"
Jiangnan grinned: "With Elder Brother Ye's word, that's settled! We'll split the money 9.99 to 0.01! I'll take a small loss!"
Ye Zhenguo was taken aback: "That's not good, is it? Am I taking too much?"
Jiangnan was stunned: "You think 0.01 is too much? Then I'll cut you a bit more?"
Ye Zhenguo: (▀Ĺ̯▀ꐦ)
So I'm the one getting 0.01?
You're getting 9.99? And you call that taking a small loss?!
I'm still a Dao Heaven, damn it! And you're giving me 0.01?
Who are you looking down on?!
"Forget it! Give it all to you! It'd be embarrassing for me to take it!"
Jiangnan: (˵‾́ټ‾́) "Elder Brother Ye is generous!"
With confirmation that he could make a move, Jiangnan notified Yao Hong to start preparations!
Ye Zhenguo: "Let me tell you, I have to keep my identity hidden! No one can know it's Ye Zhenguo! I still need to save face!"
Jiangnan patted his chest: "Leave it to me! You can rest assured, Old Man. We'll move tomorrow morning. It'll be done in the time it takes to take a piss!"
Ye Zhenguo nodded in satisfaction: "Mm. Stay here tonight. Rooms have been prepared for you for a long time!"
Since it was too late, Jiangnan and the others didn't return to Jingdu Spirit University. Instead, they stayed at the Ye family villa!
Jiangnan pushed open the door to enter his room, and his entire body instantly froze!
There, in the middle of the room, a massive three-meter-diameter iron pot had its bedding neatly laid out...
Elder Brother Ye, are you serious?
