156: Chapter 156 How could Cang Yan betray him?

"I have amnesia, so everything said before doesn't count." Cang Yan took a deep breath. If he just refused to acknowledge it, what could Yue Lan do to him?

"Besides, I've already let you share a Mistress with me, so that should be enough for you."

Yue Lan showed no Life Qi at all; the smile on his lips deepened. "Tell me, if I were to tell my future Mistress about those things you did, would that count as a dowry?"

Cang Yan's expression froze. He looked at Yue Lan's face, a Prodigy, and clenched his fists, but he still wasn't willing.

"Cang Yan, if you really won't agree, that's fine. Then the matter you asked me to handle, I won't agree to it either, and I don't want your Mistress anymore." Yue Lan turned to leave, but even when he reached the seaside, Cang Yan had no intention of stopping him.

Yue Lan's body stiffened. He turned his head to look at Cang Yan. He couldn't really be showing Life Qi, could he?

"You're not stopping me?"

Cang Yan finally turned back, his gaze firm. "Since you aren't willing to be the Mistress's ninth husband, then forget it. Consider it as if I never said anything; my Mistress will not be shared with you."

"Your Mistress will listen to you?"

Cang Yan snorted coldly and walked toward Feng Yange without looking back. Yue Lan's eyes darkened slightly, but soon he stopped thinking about it. The aroma of food wafted over—a scent he had never experienced before, so fragrant it made him dizzy.

The sunset glow illuminated the sea, making the waves shimmer.

Feng Yange was teaching Mo Yuan and the others how to cook seafood. Sword and Dengdeng were calling out that they wanted to eat, Zhushou was rolling around on the beach acting cute, and the sound of Sword Spirit Senior fishing and laughing heartily made it feel like a lively big family.

"Cang Yan, come and have a taste."

Feng Yange looked up and saw Cang Yan standing alone. His eyes held confusion and envy. Hearing Feng Yange call him, he hurriedly walked over. "Mistress."

"Open your mouth." Feng Yange smiled and fed Cang Yan a piece of seafood, asking with eyes full of smiles, "Is it good?"

Cang Yan nodded. "It's delicious, a flavor I've never tasted before."

Feng Yange looked proud. "Of course, this is my secret recipe. For this period, we'll live off the sea, and I guarantee I'll let you eat your fill."

Cang Yan nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Mistress, do you need my help?"

"Just learn from them. Where is your friend Yue Lan? Call him over, we'll be eating soon."

Feng Yange didn't see Yue Lan and asked curiously. Cang Yan lowered his gaze slightly. "Mistress, he said he doesn't want to be your husband anymore. I couldn't reach an agreement with him."

"If he doesn't agree, then forget it. We won't force it."

Feng Yange showed no Life Qi at all and put all her focus on teaching. This was the first time Cang Yan had such intimate contact with Feng Yange. Watching them familiarly feeding each other and laughing happily, something deep inside him seemed to loosen.

What a strange feeling. Why could eating something make them so happy?

"Be happier. Although he is very strong, Mistress doesn't care about that. We can work hard to become stronger ourselves and still protect everyone." Mo Yuan's sudden remark made Cang Yan look up, staring at him in surprise, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"A-Yuan is right. Although we all hope to have strong brothers join us, we won't force the other party. Moreover, Mistress isn't the type of Mistress who wants many men; what she has always wanted is to become stronger herself."

Jun Chen's words surprised Mo Yuan, and his eyes showed appreciation. As expected of his good brother; he understood Mistress better and better.

"Mo Yuan and Jun Chen are brothers, Xuan Li and Ling Feng are also good brothers. I really envy you guys who have brothers." Bai Jiuxiao complained, his gaze falling on Li Mingye, and suddenly he leaned over. "How about we also pair up as brothers?"

"We are already brothers, and we are one family with Mistress." Li Mingye's eyes couldn't hide his envy. What he envied even more was that they were all beast-kin, while he was the only human.

Feng Yange stood by the seaside, holding a Jade Slip in her hand, and sent a few messages to Long Ze, but he didn't reply to any of them.

They had agreed to contact her later.

Feng Yange lowered her eyes, her gaze hiding worry that couldn't be concealed.

"He will be fine."

A figure appeared before Feng Yange's eyes, a blue fish tail gently swaying. Feng Yange looked at Yue Lan in the sea. "Why are you here?"

Yue Lan held a pearl in his hands and handed it to Feng Yange. "I went to find a pearl as a gift for you. I think this suits you very well."

Feng Yange did not take it. "Thank you for your kindness, but Cang Yan said you don't want to be my husband, so such gifts are unnecessary. If you want to exchange it for a Medicinal Pill with me, that is possible."

The expression on Yue Lan's face froze. "When did I say I didn't want to be your husband?"

Feng Yange raised an eyebrow slightly. Yue Lan's eyes grew anxious, and he hurriedly swam in front of Feng Yange. "Don't listen to his nonsense. I was just joking with him. He's playing dirty; don't listen to his lies."

Feng Yange laughed out loud. "You and he really have a good relationship."

However, Cang Yan didn't look like he was joking with him.

Yue Lan was anxious and hurriedly explained, "I have a life-and-death relationship with him. This guy is really too narrow-minded. I just made a joke with him, and he actually took it seriously."

The smile on Feng Yange's face did not diminish. This Merfolk Emperor seemed quite cute.

Yue Lan hurriedly told Feng Yange about the bet he and Cang Yan had made previously, not forgetting to complain aggrievedly, "I just wanted him to fulfill the vow, but he, on the other hand, actually ruined my marriage proposal."

"So that's how it is. However, he has amnesia and can't remember, so don't hold it against him. With me, ranking isn't important. We are all one family; the ranking is just the order in which I met you all."

Feng Yange really hadn't expected that Cang Yan would squeeze Yue Lan out without a word, just because they bet that whoever got married first would swap their rankings. Is there any difference between eighth and ninth?

Feng Yange thought it was quite childish, but also quite interesting.

"He wouldn't not call me for dinner, would he?"

Yue Lan's expression stiffened, and his fish tail tightened.

"He probably will. They are all preparing food. If you go over now, you can learn from them and also eat first." Just as Feng Yange finished speaking, Yue Lan hurriedly stuffed the pearl into Feng Yange's hand. "Then I must go over. This pearl is for you. I still want to be your husband; I will definitely win back my ranking."

Feng Yange watched Yue Lan go to find them, the smile on her lips widening.

The ninth one, but, oh well.

Feng Yange withdrew her gaze. The Jade Slip received a video request from Long Ze. Feng Yange hurriedly connected it. Seeing the golden Dragon horns on Long Ze's head, she was momentarily dazed. The face was still that same face, but his temperament had become more cold and noble.

"Mistress, I miss you."

As soon as Long Ze spoke, he couldn't hold back anymore. His golden eyes misted over, and his eye sockets were red.

Feng Yange waved at Long Ze with a smile. "A-Ze, I miss you too. I finally waited for you to contact me proactively. Are you doing well?"

She was human, and Long Ze's clansmen probably wouldn't be satisfied with this marriage of Long Ze's, right?

"Mistress, I'm fine. It's just that I was suddenly summoned back by my clansmen that day. I've been entangled by them, and there are many things to do. After I reported that I was safe that day, I've been busy until now."
