622: Chapter 618: The Fish Are Dancing!
In this area, there was nothing, just a white expanse.
It felt as if his body were floating in the air, his feet dangling, giving the sensation of an empty void.
Suddenly, images from the past started to emerge in Ye Tian’s mind—
Ever since he could remember, he had always been drifting.
Who was he?
Where did he come from?
Where was he going?
These were questions Ye Tian had been pondering since he was a child!
At the age of seven, he was guided by a wise man, embarked on the path of martial arts, and due to his bright talent, quickly achieved great skill.
The wise man taught him not only martial arts but also various abilities!
He studied with the wise man for eight years, and during that time, he never knew the man’s name, and the wise man even forbade him from calling him ‘master’!
At fifteen, the wise man left him, and he searched the world to no avail.
Once again, he found himself alone.
To find his worth, he chose to join the military!
Three years of military service, countless difficult missions, and great contributions to the nation—by chance, he obtained a strange eyepatch and eventually gained the ability to see through things!
He left the service at eighteen and afterward, he roamed about, mingling in the underworld and earned the title of “King of the Night”…
Ye Tian shivered uncontrollably.
Why was he remembering those things?
Could it be that the pebble was guiding him?
Suddenly, Ye Tian felt an immense sense of relief wash over him, a feeling of comfort stemming from the power within his body!
That is to say, Ye Tian, at a subconscious level, had an insane craving for power, and no matter how strong he became, this craving never diminished…
“So that’s it!”
Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes, no longer immersed in his thoughts.
His senses were gradually returning.
Upon looking around, Ye Tian gradually understood what the pebble really was!
The reason he could see his past was because he was always chasing after power!
For him, power was incredibly important; in the past, he relied on it to protect himself, and now, he relied on it to protect those close to him.
Therefore, deep inside, he had a genuine yearning for power!
—This was what the pebble wanted to tell him, his primal desire!
For someone like Xue Yunfu, who had power and influence, all he pursued was to live a bit longer.
As long as he could live another day, he would enjoy another day’s fortune…
That was Xue Yunfu’s desire, and this desire grew even more intense because of the pebble, eventually evolving into a wish for immortality!
As for Wang Ke’er, she was quite dissatisfied with her figure, so under the influence of the pebble, she shamelessly began to wish for larger breasts.
This explained her actions at that time…
A small pebble had the power to provoke human desires; no wonder Xue Yunfu had treasured it so much, even changing his entire outlook on life!
Having unraveled the mystery of the pebble, Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, the pebble was a treasure and had a significant connection to Tian Yi; thus, it couldn’t be discarded.
Keeping it in the Night King Hall seemed inappropriate, so Ye Tian decided to put it in his villa.
Aside from Yun Xinyan, there was no one else in his villa.
Moreover, there was a big fish tank.
Just by dropping it in the bathtub, no one would notice!
It was better than Xue Yunfu carefully storing it in an exquisite box—out of sight, out of mind…
As Ye Tian thought this, he carefully placed the pebble in a small box and left his room.
“Boss, you’re out?”
Ye Xuong had been guarding the door to the room, thinking Ye Tian would need a long time to seclude himself, but unexpectedly, he came out after just an hour or two.
“Ye Xuong, I need to step out for a bit.
Keep an eye on every move in Jiang City!”
Ye Tian was very satisfied with Ye Xuong, so he confidently entrusted the affairs of the Night King Hall to him.
“Understood, boss!”
Ye Xuong replied respectfully, and Ye Tian left the headquarters of the Night King Hall.
By the time he returned to the villa where he lived with Yun Xinyan, it was already the early hours of the morning.
At this hour, Yun Xinyan had long been asleep.
Yun Xinyan’s work kept her busy, and Ye Tian didn’t want to disturb her rest, so as he entered, he tip-toed around, afraid to make the slightest noise.
Thanks to Ye Tian’s excellent night vision, he didn’t need to turn on the lights.
He found the big fish tank in the living room and threw the pebble he had got from Xue Yunfu’s basement into it.
“Splash!”
The pebble hit the water, creating a small splash, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the tank.
With the task completed, Ye Tian quietly slipped into the bedroom.
He thought Yun Xinyan would be sound asleep, but just as he entered the bedroom, the light suddenly turned on.
Yun Xinyan in her pajamas stood in front of him!
“Ye Tian, you remember how to come back?
I thought there was a thief in the house!”
Yun Xinyan complained, the displeasure clear on her face.
Ye Tian knew his wife’s temper all too well, so he had to comfort her properly.
“My dear wife, I didn’t intend to come home this late!
Look, no matter how late, I have still come back, haven’t I?”
Ye Tian hugged Yun Xinyan with a playful and smiling face, showing off his flattery skills!
“…”
Yun Xinyan let Ye Tian hold her, but she didn’t speak, and Ye Tian’s body started to rub against hers.
“Indeed, one’s own wife is the best!”
Ye Tian let out a heartfelt sigh, his words were disjointed, leaving Yun Xinyan puzzled.
“What do you mean by ‘one’s own wife is the best’?
Ye Tian, you didn’t do something to betray me, did you?”
Yun Xinyan’s face darkened.
She scrutinized Ye Tian from head to toe and couldn’t help but sniff him for any scent.
Fortunately, although Ye Tian had been hugging and cuddling with Wang Ke’er, she was a woman who didn’t like makeup or perfume, especially during missions, when she was just as plain as a man.
So, Yun Xinyan didn’t detect any trace of makeup scent on Ye Tian!
“Ye Tian, where have you been so late?”
Yun Xinyan asked, her words tinged with concern.
However, it was a matter of great importance, so even though Yun Xinyan was questioning him, it wasn’t convenient for Ye Tian to reveal anything.
“Wife, actually, I—went to eat some buns!”
Ye Tian blurted out, leaving Yun Xinyan confused.
“Eating buns?”
Yun Xinyan didn’t know what Ye Tian was referring to, and Ye Tian’s expression turned wicked.
“It’s true!
Wife, someone invited me to eat buns, so I went!
But once I got to their home and tried them, those buns were so small, and they didn’t have any fragrance at all!
Compared to the large white buns I eat at home, they were simply not on the same level!
So I just sighed with the realization that no one beats my most beloved, cutest, prettiest wife!”
Ye Tian kept praising Yun Xinyan, leaving her bewildered.
Yun Xinyan didn’t understand what Ye Tian meant by “buns,” but seeing him so family-oriented, she didn’t scold him any further, and instead pointed to the bed.
“It’s so late, I’ve already slept once, hurry up and get into bed to rest!”
Seeing Yun Xinyan’s concern for himself, Ye Tian was deeply moved and complied without any hesitation.
“Yes, yes, yes!
One must never disobey the wife’s words!”
With that, Ye Tian obediently took off his clothes and crawled into bed.
Yun Xinyan followed suit, and as soon as she got into bed, Ye Tian held her tight.
“What are you doing?
I’m not in the mood tonight!”
Yun Xinyan whispered angrily.
After all, it was almost dawn, and she had already lost all interest.
No matter how much Ye Tian insisted, she wouldn’t yield.
“Wife, rest assured, it’s almost dawn; I just want a hug, I won’t do anything.”
Saying that, Ye Tian closed his eyes as well.
Although Ye Tian was a bit lecherous on a regular day, he kept his word.
Since he said he wouldn’t touch Yun Xinyan, he really didn’t move at all.
So, apart from holding Yun Xinyan, he made no other inappropriate moves.
But even without any actions of his hands, Ye Tian’s mouth was still murmuring, unclear whether he was just talking in his sleep or intentionally speaking in a wakeful state…
“The buns at home are the best, big, tender, fragrant…”
Yun Xinyan felt nauseated.
She feared she would never dare to eat buns again.
All night long, Yun Xinyan had been worried about Ye Tian’s safety, so she hadn’t slept well.
But after Ye Tian returned, she could finally sleep in peace.
Yun Xinyan no longer cared what Ye Tian was saying, she simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.
And Ye Tian slept soundly, too.
After all the events of the night, he had spent much of his physical and mental energy.
He slept so deeply that he didn’t even know when Yun Xinyan moved his hand away to get up.
After getting up, Yun Xinyan prepared to go to work.
She didn’t intend to wake Ye Tian, as he was truly exhausted, and she didn’t want to disrupt him…
“Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya~~~~~~~~~~”
Ye Tian was in deep sleep when he suddenly heard a high-pitched scream.
The scream made Ye Tian open his eyes, because it was none other than his wife, Yun Xinyan!
“Wife!
What’s wrong?”
The sound came from the living room.
When Ye Tian got there, Yun Xinyan was looking at their fish tank in utter horror.
Ye Tian walked over and asked, “Wife, what happened?”
Yun Xinyan pointed to the fish tank, trembling with fear, and said, “The fish…
the fish are dancing…”
