Reborn Rich and Pampered

  Chapter 2: The Mark

  The birds chirped and cheeped, soft morning sunlight shone on the big bed.

  A faint light shone on the two people embracing and sleeping, He Yan Ye was completely naked, his arms wrapped around Geng Xiao You, the quilt only covering his buttocks, his entire back exposed to the air, his ancient bronze-colored skin so sensual it made one's mouth water.

  Geng Xiao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her dazed eyes. She looked up at He Yan Ye, who was close by, and a faint smile played on her lips as she gazed at him, still fast asleep. Half of his face was buried in the soft pillow, and his handsome eyebrows were relaxed, with his disheveled hair scattered across his chiseled features... He slept soundly and sweetly, like an innocent child, with a deep sense of satisfaction etched on his face. This expression made everyone who saw it feel as though they had been infected by his happiness.

  At the thought of last night's romantic and passionate encounter, she couldn't help but blush. She never expected that she would end up in bed with him; even more unexpected was that he not only kissed every inch of her body, but also tirelessly made love to her multiple times, leaving her drifting in a sea of desire all night long, feeling like she was dying from pleasure.

  "Ah, my treasure! Are you still satisfied?" He Yanye opened his deep and mysterious black eyes, with a hint of a sly smile at the corner of his mouth. It felt great to see her first thing in the morning, he held her tightly in his arms. The feeling of their skin touching again made them both shudder, like an electric shock.

  He Yan Ye had a mischievous grin on his face as he leaned in close to her delicate ear. "Ruoxi, my darling, what if I want it again?"

  Geng Xiao's cheeks flushed with a hint of red, and she heavily pounded him once. "You're such an unscrupulous guy." If this continues, it'll soon be noon. Does she still want to meet people or not?

  He smiled brightly and pinched her cute nose, "Who told you to be so charming, making me unable to help myself?" He restrained his desire and gently kissed her lips. "By the way, my dear Yu'er, I'm really yours now, you have to take responsibility for me!" He gave a sly smile and winked at her.

  Geng Xiao's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she glared at him. Are you going to take responsibility or not? Her eyes suddenly darted to his shoulder, where there was a faint purple mark. She clutched the quilt, her face full of surprise as she leaned forward, pointing at his sturdy shoulder. "Ye, what's this?"

  He turned his head in the direction she was pointing, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "This is a birthmark, I've had it since I was born. At that time, there was a Taoist priest who said I was the reincarnation of a celestial being, what nonsense." He snorted in disdain.

  She stretched out her fingers and lightly drew, really getting more and more like a 'palace' character.

  He Yanye felt the birthmark on her shoulder, due to her finger's touch, slowly emitting a scorching temperature. It was as if a long-dormant spring had finally found an outlet for its release.

  Geng Xiao Yu's hand withdrew in surprise, and he saw that the birthmark on his shoulder was emitting a faint purple glow. The two of them exchanged a puzzled glance, seeing the same question in each other's eyes.

  At this moment, the purple bangle on Geng Xiao's wrist emitted a faint glow, and a small voice came. "Congratulations, Master! You have found 'Gong' Shen Jun."

  She raised her wrist and stared at it inexplicably. "Xiao Ling, when did Ye become the Lord of the Palace? What's going on?"

  Gong Sheng Jun? He Yan Ye's face was full of shock, shocked that he himself was Gong Sheng Jun, the matter seemed very mysterious, and surprised that Xiao You's bangle could speak. Looking at the purple bangle on her hand, his eyes were filled with astonishment. What's going on here? Could it be that the Daoist's words really came true?

  The purple hoop flashed with a purple light, "The power of the Palace God is still sealed, and he cannot use his own strength for now. As for other times, it's not time yet, Little Ling can't reveal it, you'll understand later. Just find the remaining four gods: Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu."

  "Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu? What do they have to do with me? Why are you looking for them?" Geng Xiao You continued to ask.

  "All the answers will only be revealed after you find them. Xiao Ling just revealed a little more, other gods and Gong Sheng Jun are the same, they all have different words on their bodies..." The purple hoop slowly returned to its original luster.

  "Xiao Ling, then how can I find them?" Xiao You called out, no matter how she called, Xiao Ling was like asleep and didn't speak again.

  Damn it! Why does every conversation end halfway? What exactly did Xiaoling mean? How can I find the remaining four gods on my own?

  Liu Qingfeng's heart ached with wave after wave of pain, his gloomy eyes sorrowfully gazing at the closed door. He really wanted to rush into the room and snatch her back into his own arms, he really wanted to tell Ye that she was his. But he couldn't, he loved her, he didn't want to see her in a difficult situation.

  "Bang!" The door opened, and He Yan Ye walked out with a clear mind and spirit. Seeing Liu Qing Feng leaning against the wall opposite him, looking dispirited, he knew his love was no less than his. "Wind, I'm sorry!" He walked up and patted his shoulder apologetically.

  Liu Qingfeng forced a bitter smile. "Yue, don't say sorry. This is her choice, as long as she's happy that's enough." Maybe being able to see her happiness is also a kind of happiness.

  Geng Xiao You stood at the 'door' and gazed at the haggard Liu Qing Feng across from her. Her eyes were filled with a deep sense of guilt, she knew she loved him, but not as deeply as Ye came to love her at night. She slowly walked closer to him, "Qing Feng, I..."

  Liu Qingfeng gently pressed his finger to her lips, and he drew a gentle shallow smile. "Xier, there's no need to say anything. I understand, you don't have to feel guilty, really! As long as you're happy, that's all that matters!" He would silently accompany her for the rest of his life, being her loyal guardian.

  "Yu!" A voice came from around the corner, he pouted, his eyes filled with grievances. He habitually reached out to grab her hand, almost everything here had been played with by him, and Yu hadn't accompanied him in playing for a few days, he was so bored that he was about to go crazy.

  Geng Xiao Yu helplessly sighed, "Didn't I already let you have Zhou Jie to play with?" She really didn't know what kind of state this guy had tormented him into. She couldn't help but feel a little curious.

  He snorted in disdain and said, "That human is so boring." He was just momentarily curious, wanting to see what the difference was between a hairless human and a hairless dog. He had simply shaved his head, making him look like a sand pig.

  He Yan Ye didn't know what Zun meant by his words, but he was really interested in seeing the outcome, "Let's go take a look."

  Liu Qingfeng wasn't very familiar with Zun, but he had heard a thing or two about his actions. "Alright, I'm also interested in seeing how things turn out for him." He hid the bitterness in his eyes and slightly curled up the corners of his mouth.

  Geng Xiao slightly nodded her head, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She wanted to see what he looked like now.

  Four people walked into a cold and damp underground room, where there was an eerie feeling of desolation everywhere.

  Only to see Zhou Miao, who had been pulled bald, with tattered clothes all over his body, his four limbs tied to a wooden stake, unable to move. His eyes stared blankly ahead, without any sign of life. Where was the shadow of his former invincibility?

  Raising his eyes to He Yanye in front of him, Zhou Jin's gaze slowly regained its luster. "Yeye, for the sake of our many years of friendship, please spare my life." He begged bitterly, now he didn't ask for anything else, just hoping to keep his life intact.

  He Yan Ye looked at him coldly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a chilly arc. "Heh... you're too imaginative." If he had only hurt him, perhaps he would have spared him out of their many years of relationship. But he had hurt the person he loved most, and if not for the fact that he happened to be outside the Blue family's gate that day, his Ruo Xue might have died in Qingyan Lake long ago.

  His eyes suddenly dimmed, "Then kill me." Since survival is not possible, then seek death. He really can't bear this kind of day anymore, like living in purgatory, suffering from torture.

  Her clear and bright eyes, with a sharp distinction between black and white, slanted towards him, her gaze icy cold, the corners of her mouth hooked in sarcasm. "Dead? You think you can use death to escape? It's not that easy. I won't let you die easily. I'll feed you the best ginseng and bird's nest every day, keeping you hanging on by a thread. Let you deeply experience what it means to be unable to live or die. I will make you pay the price for my parents' death."

  Zhou Yan's pupils slightly contracted, and she couldn't help but tremble with fear. She looked at Geng Xiao You in front of her, who was as cold as a demon, and all that was left in her heart was endless regret. She shouldn't have provoked her, no matter what.

  Newly cleared fields are vast. Extremely distant, no haze or dust. The city gate is near the ferry head. Village trees connect to the creek mouth. Clear water shines outside the fields. Green peaks emerge from behind the mountains. Farming months have no idle people. Family affairs lean towards the southern fields.

  Lan Han Yun put down the hoe in his hand, wiped away the sweat on his forehead, and gazed into the distance. Before him was a lush green expanse, with fields stretching as far as the eye could see.

  "Xi gege, Xi gege!" A delicate 'girl' with a bright smile ran towards him. She had a bamboo basket in her hand. "Xi gege, it's time to eat, and today Auntie said there's extra dishes!" The scorching sun shone on him, the sweat beads on his wheat-colored skin sparkled, dripping down one by one, making him look like a sun god, full of strong masculine charm from head to toe. She put down the basket, her face flushed with a shy blush, her eyes darting towards him repeatedly.

  That day she returned to the city, just as she was about to turn a corner, a black car came speeding towards her. Just as she closed her eyes, thinking she would become a ghost under the wheels, the car in front suddenly braked sharply and veered off the road, rolling down the hill with its occupants.

  She stared at the scene in front of her in horror, and after a long while, she came to her senses and quickly slid down the slope, pulling him out of the broken car. With great difficulty, she carried him back home, fortunately, he was only injured and not in danger of losing his life. However, when he was unconscious, he kept murmuring: "Xī... xī..."

  Half a month later, when he woke up, he didn't remember anything. He forgot who he was. She asked him tentatively, and he just shook his head in confusion. She asked him about Xī, and his eyes lit up for an instant, repeating "Xī... Xī..." over and over again.

  She was certain Xi must be his name, otherwise he wouldn't have such a big reaction.
