Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1714 "Bamboo Pavilion on the Huai River" - Yang Yan
"..." Dongfang Huaizhu looked at Jiang Chen speechlessly.

What's the matter?

Do you even need to ask?

"Um, I have something to do, you guys continue." In Dongfang Qinlan's view, Jiang Chen and Dongfang Huaizhu were exchanging glances.

So, he left after saying that.

“Let’s continue.” Jiang Chen looked at Dongfang Huaizhu with a smile.

"What do you mean by 'continue'?" Dongfang Huaizhu really didn't understand. What was there to continue between them?

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen walked up to Dongfang Huaizhu and put his arm around her waist before she could react.

"Young Master Jiang, please don't be like this. I... I have someone I like," Dongfang Huaizhu said.

"So what? I can wait for you for decades. Even after the person you love dies, you will still be mine," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

However, Jiang Chen wasn't just talking nonsense.

On the continent of Taiyun, the human race has a lifespan of only one hundred years.

All he needs to do is ensure that Dongfang Huaizhu has a long enough lifespan.

"you……"

Previously, Dongfang Huaizhu did not believe Jiang Chen's words, but after Jiang Chen explained Dongfang Churi's situation, he had no choice but to believe him.

"Besides, the person you like will be old and gray in thirty years at most. You might not even feel comfortable sleeping with someone like that. After all, I can guarantee you will stay young forever," Jiang Chen continued.

"Do you think I wouldn't commit suicide for love?" Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't help but ask.

“I will make sure your father and sister live longer. Will you commit suicide in front of them?” Jiang Chen asked.

"..." Dongfang Huaizhu.

Dongfang Huaizhu is speechless.

Is Jiang Chen cruel?

But can she say that Jiang Chen is cruel?
Does that mean it's cruel to let her father and sister live longer?
Is Dongfang Huaizhu that kind of person?
"Time is the best healer. After the person you love dies, you won't need ten years to forget them," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Dongfang Huaizhu.

"Am I wrong?" Jiang Chen blew a breath into Dongfang Huaizhu's ear.

next moment.

Dongfang Huaizhu shuddered.

Jiang Chen looked at Dongfang Huaizhu, who was so close to him, and couldn't help but swallow.

Dongfang Huaizhu's beautiful eyes narrowed.

Jiang Chen lowered his head and kissed him.

In an instant, Dongfang Huaizhu opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Although Jiang Chen was clumsy before.

But it wasn't that bold.

just now……

Dongfang Huaizhu's mind was in a mess.

After a while.

Jiang Chen then released Dongfang Huaizhu.

Even so, Dongfang Huaizhu did not react.

Jiang Chen stared at Dongfang Huaizhu without any restraint.

His arm around Dongfang Huaizhu began to wander.

"You, you..." At this moment, Dongfang Huaizhu had already reacted and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

"What's wrong? Were you feeling unwell just now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"..." Dongfang Huaizhu was dumbfounded.

Jiang Chen actually asked her if she was comfortable.
How was she supposed to answer that?

wrong.

Why should I answer?

“Let’s continue,” Jiang Chen said.

“What…” Dongfang Huaizhu was stunned.

But Dongfang Huaizhu immediately knew what Jiang Chen wanted to do.

Because Jiang Chen kissed him again.

It's different from before.

This time, Jiang Chen was even more unscrupulous, conquering cities and seizing territories with great speed and cunning.

Unlike before when I didn't react at all.

This time, Dongfang Huaizhu was even more lucid than before.

She could feel every movement Jiang Chen made.

She also felt Jiang Chen's restless hands.

Jiang Chen's hand seemed to possess a magical power; wherever it touched, it left her completely drained of strength.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen released Dongfang Huaizhu amidst her reluctance to part.

"Want more?" Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.

Dongfang Huaizhu glared at Jiang Chen.

At the same time, Dongfang Huaizhu was horrified to discover that she seemed not to have refused.

Or rather, they didn't feel much resistance to Jiang Chen's offense.

This alarmed Dongfang Huaizhu.

Shortly after meeting Jiang Chen last time, she met Wang Quan Hongye.

Over the course of several months, she and Wang Quan Hongye had developed feelings for each other. If it weren't for the need to return to Shenhuo Mountain Manor, they might have confessed their feelings to each other. But now, in front of Jiang Chen, she actually...

At this moment, the faces of Jiang Chen and Wang Quan Hongye kept switching in Dongfang Huaizhu's mind.

However, what Dongfang Huaizhu didn't know was that it was because Jiang Chen dealt with the Ghost-Faced Spider of the Jiang family that she and Wang Quan Hongye developed feelings for each other, instead of confessing their love. It was also because of Jiang Chen's appearance that the original course of events was disrupted, and many things didn't happen.

"It seems you've tacitly agreed," Jiang Chen said.

"What silence..."

Dongfang Huaizhu was cut off before she could finish speaking.

In Jiang Chen's view, the best approach with a woman like Dongfang Huaizhu is to be straightforward and get straight to the point.

After all, he didn't have that much time to pursue Dongfang Huaizhu.

Only by keeping Dongfang Huaizhu by my side can we possibly deepen our relationship.

Jiang Chen understood that, given the several times Dongfang Huaizhu had saved his life and the fact that he had just practiced the basic breathing technique, it was unlikely that she would refuse.

As for being despicable and shameless?
That's what the weak think.

Strong people don't need to think like that.

a long time.

Jiang Chen held Dongfang Huaizhu in his arms on the chair, whispering sweet nothings to her.

This is Jiang Chen's specialty.

If we were to rank them by level, they might be considered god-level.

"I'll go propose marriage later," Jiang Chen said.

"Propose... propose marriage..." Dongfang Huaizhu was dumbfounded.

“Yes, I’ve decided on you, so naturally we need to formalize our relationship,” Jiang Chen said.

“I could never be a concubine,” Dongfang Huaizhu said.

"My father-in-law will agree," Jiang Chen said dismissively.

He didn't think Dongfang Churi would refuse.

Even if he refuses, he still has other means.

Dongfang Huaizhu remained silent.

"A marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers, do you really want to object?" Jiang Chen said.

"You, I..." Dongfang Huaizhu wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"I will be good to you," Jiang Chen said firmly.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen proposed marriage to Dongfang Churi.

This made Dongfang Huaizhu very uneasy.

However, to Dongfang Huaizhu's surprise, only half an hour later, when Jiang Chen and Dongfang Churi came out of the study, Dongfang Churi told her that she had agreed to Jiang Chen's marriage proposal.

"Huaizhu, from now on you will be Jiang Chen's fiancée," Dongfang Churi said.

Dongfang Huaizhu bit her lip, glanced at Jiang Chen, and did not say anything in objection.

"So, you really became my brother-in-law?" Dongfang Qinlan asked in surprise upon receiving the news. "Yes," Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

Although the Oriental Qinlan is not as good as the Oriental Huaizhu.

But what about the sister-in-law?
It is only right that they take care of us.

Jiang Chen has experience in this area.

After all, Jiang Chen has already taken good care of his sister-in-law.

Dongfang Huaizhu glared at Jiang Chen, then turned and left.

"Father-in-law, I'm going to see Huaizhu." Jiang Chen said and chased after Dongfang Huaizhu.

However, Jiang Chen did not stay at Shenhuo Mountain Villa for long.

The next day, Jiang Chen left Shenhuo Mountain Villa.

However, when leaving Shenhuo Mountain Villa, Jiang Chen gave Dongfang Huaizhu enough hints and also revealed some of his trump cards for survival.

After leaving Shenhuo Mountain Manor, Jiang Chen did not immediately return to Taiyun City, but instead wandered around the Taiyun Continent.

Although Jiang Chen had learned about the cultivation practices of the human race on the Taiyun Continent from Dongfang Huaizhu, he still wanted to investigate further.

After visiting several cities, Jiang Chen met Yang Yan.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received the Building Accelerator.]

"Construction crash course?"

"According to the system's description, the construction crash course is a magical tool for construction."

Of course, the building crash course isn't free.

According to the system description, this continent explorer can only explore in one direction at a time.

The cost of a building crash course is calculated based on the building itself.

The building cards for Penglai Water City, Prince Chun's Mansion, and Luoyang City, along with related materials, can all be completed using the Building Accelerator.

The Penglai Water City building card requires 5,000 people and two months to complete, but using the building acceleration tool, it can be built in one minute with only 1,000 low-grade spirit stones.

The Prince Chun's Mansion construction card requires 20,000 people and three months to complete, but using the construction acceleration tool, it can be built in one minute with only 6,000 low-grade spirit stones.

The construction of Luoyang City requires 100,000 people and 18 months to complete, but with the construction acceleration tool, it can be completed in one minute with only 1,600 mid-grade spirit stones.

Other buildings only require blueprints and relevant building materials to be constructed, depending on their size. The type of spirit stone used varies depending on the building.

"This construction crash course is a good thing."

"If Taiyun City had been built a year later, we might have been able to use the construction acceleration tool. Now we can only continue building, but fortunately it won't be long before it's completed."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Yang Yan is a character in "The Bamboo Pavilion on the Huai River".

In the drama, she comes from the prestigious Yang family of the Dao Alliance. With noble blood, she is the heir to the "Heavenly Eye" Yang family of the One Qi Alliance. She is gentle, deeply affectionate, and unconcerned about social status. She and Mu Xiaowu are deeply in love, but their relationship is opposed by the Yang family because of Mu Xiaowu's humble origins. Yang Yan even goes so far as to use her pregnancy to persuade her family to agree to the marriage, ultimately leading to their union.

“A character in the play ‘Bamboo Pavilion on the Huai River’”.

"Yang Yan..."

Yang Yan is a member of the Yang family, a core family of the Dao Alliance, and is known as the eldest daughter of the Yang family of the Heavenly Eye.

As Yang Yitan's aunt, her family possesses special pupil techniques. In terms of marriage, Yang Yan falls in love with the mining team leader, Mu Renzhi, and forces her family to accept the marriage by getting pregnant out of wedlock.

On their wedding day, Xiao Wancheng, the inspector of the Xiao family of the One Qi Alliance, arrested Mu Renzhi on charges of colluding with the demon race. Mu Renzhi endured torture in prison but refused to confess and was ultimately executed. This incident led Yang Yan to completely lose faith in the Alliance. She left the Yang family with her unborn child and went into seclusion in a mountain village to raise her son, Mu Mie, alone.

During his seclusion, Yang Yan strictly forbade Mu Mie from engaging in Taoist cultivation and warned him never to join the One Qi Alliance.

"The Yang family of the Sky Eye..."

"That's the key."

The so-called "heavenly eye" is a naturally born divine eye that can perceive the flow of the enemy's energy and anticipate their moves.

However, in theory, although the descendants of the Yang family all possess the potential to have a third eye, the ability of the third eye needs to be activated before it can be used, which is the so-called "opening the third eye".

Opening the Heavenly Eye was no easy task.

In the drama, Yang Yitan was drugged by his grandfather Yang Huanzhou and uncle Yang Ying and thrown into an extremely dangerous environment. Witnessing Wang Quanzui in danger further fueled Yang Yitan's inner turmoil, leading him to unleash his potential and ultimately gain the ability to open his third eye.

As a family of supernatural beings within the Qi Dao Alliance, the Yang family still suffered from a talent shortage and was in a state of decline. Therefore, after Yang Huanzhou succeeded as the family head, his incompetence, lack of talent, and lack of vision led the family from stagnation to rapid decline.

The Yang family, known for their innate divine eyes, possesses a unique ability to see, but not all members of the Yang family are qualified to inherit this ability. Yang Huanzhou is an exception. Fortunately, Yang He inherited this legacy and became the family's hope. Yang He is exceptionally talented and is a close friend of Wang Quan Shouzhuo, the head of the Wang Quan family of the One Qi Alliance.

Yang He later had a son, who was also a genius boy. He inherited Yang He's talent and was the only descendant of the Yang family who might be able to open the Heavenly Eye.

In Yang Huanzhou's view, the Yang family was bound to undergo a dramatic transformation. However, a sudden change caused his proud son to suddenly exhaust his spiritual power and die. During this time, the Wangquan family also faced an unprecedented crisis. Wangquan Shouzhuo disappeared, leaving the family with only loyal servants and the young siblings Wangquan Hongye and Wangquan Zui to support them.

Yang He had never revealed his secret with Wang Quan Shouzhuo because he had dreamed of a giant black tree connected to the Bitter Love Tree of Tushan. The Black Fox's plan had begun, and the final catastrophe would descend in the eternal night.

Yang He's dream signifies that the Black Fox's conspiracy has begun. To prevent disaster, Yang He uses his Heavenly Eye to find the Black Bitter Love Tree's weakness, hoping to destroy it at a crucial moment. However, all of this is in vain; the sacrifices of Wang Quan Shou Zhuo and Yang He delay the Black Fox's world-destroying plan by a full ten years.

Over the years, geniuses from other families have emerged, and they have traveled far and wide to fight against the conflict between humans and demons. But the Black Fox has never stopped its schemes; its power has always stemmed from the resentment and greed of the world.

Whether it was the ambition of the Nangong family head or the obsession of the Yang family head, both were part of a game orchestrated by Black Fox. Yang Huanzhou, knowing full well that the Nangong family had deliberately framed him, still yielded to Black Fox, even using his own methods to accelerate Black Fox's plan and release the Nine Bewitching Demons of the Yellow Springs Clan. The resurgence of the Nine Bewitching Demons brought Black Fox's plan to its climax, plunging the Masked Group into an irrecoverable predicament.

The Yang family's decline accelerated due to Yang He's sacrifice, and Yang Huanzhou, in order to revive the family, pinned his hopes on his grandson, Yang Yitan. Although Yang Yitan was extremely talented, he was physically weak and born unable to clot blood, putting him at risk of dying from injuries and illnesses at any time.

In order to revive the Yang family, Yang Huanzhou cruelly sent Yang Yitan into a dangerous mine. The mine became the key to Yang Yitan's awakening of his divine eye; if it weren't for Wang Quanzui's unexpected intrusion, Yang Yitan might have already lost his life in the mine.

"I wonder if Yang Yan has opened his third eye."

"After all, the show doesn't say whether Yang Yan has a third eye; it only says that she is the eldest daughter of the Yang family."

"Having the third eye allows one to foresee the future; this is an incredibly powerful ability."

"This is somewhat mystical."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen walked towards Yang Yan.

"You are Yang Yan?" Jiang Chen approached Yang Yan.

"Who are you?" Yang Yan stopped in her tracks.

"My name is Jiang Chen. I've heard of Miss Yang, so I came over to greet her when I saw her," Jiang Chen said.

"Do you need something?" Yang Yan looked at Jiang Chen warily.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to get to know you." Jiang Chen quickly found a topic to chat with Yang Yan.

Yang Yan hesitated for a moment before starting to chat with Jiang Chen.

"I'd like to go to Ruyi Tower, would you like to come along, Miss Yang?" Jiang Chen invited.

“No, I have other things to do,” Yang Yan refused.

"Alright then." Jiang Chen was somewhat disappointed, but still asked, "Miss Yang, are you married?"

Yang Yan looked at Jiang Chen warily.

"I didn't mean anything by it."

Jiang Chen looked at Yang Yan and said, "Although this is the first time I've met Miss Yang, her beauty is etched in my heart. If Miss Yang were still unmarried, I might have a chance."

“Young Master Jiang, you’ve gone too far.” Yang Yan’s expression changed.

"Yes? I'm telling the truth." Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "But don't worry, Miss Yang, I was just asking. If I really want to marry you, I will go to the Yang family to propose."

However, Jiang Chen was just saying it for the sake of saying it.

Because Yang Yan and Dongfang Huaizhu are different.

In the drama, Yang Yan is pregnant out of wedlock.

"Humph."

Yang Yan snorted and turned to leave.

"Yang Yan, you are mine."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen found Mu Xiaowu.

Mu Xiaowu is a character in "The Bamboo Pavilion on the Huai River".

In the drama, Mu Xiaowu, from an ordinary background, is the overseer of the Yang family's mine. Because of his kind, soft-hearted, and compassionate nature, he falls in love with Yang Yan, the eldest daughter of the Yang family. Their love is deep, but their relationship is opposed by Yang Yan's family due to their vastly different social statuses. To marry him, Yang Yan forces her father to submit by becoming pregnant out of wedlock. With the help of Wang Quan Hongye, Mr. Yang finally agrees to the marriage, but on the condition that Mu Xiaowu become a live-in son-in-law and take the Yang surname. Mu Xiaowu readily agrees.

Mu Xiaowu was reported to the Yi Qi Alliance for releasing a demon and was arrested and imprisoned by the Inspection Department. Later, after Dongfang Huaizhu and Wang Quan Hongye foiled the Nangong family's conspiracy, Wang Quan Hongye rescued him. However, on the wedding day, the Nangong family disrupted the ceremony, and Mu Xiaowu still faced the risk of being captured again. In the end, to protect themselves, the Yang family, under coercion from Nangong Chui, plotted to take Mu Xiaowu away and severely torture him. Mu Xiaowu was tortured to the point of near death, but he never betrayed the Yang family and ultimately died unjustly.

Jiang Chen sought out Mu Xiaowu to kill him.

Jiang Chen wanted Yang Yan, so naturally he wouldn't leave Mu Xiaowu as an exception.

Mu Xiaowu is not without power; killing him would not be easy.

Jiang Chen did not show himself, but directly killed Mu Xiaowu.

"Next, let's go check out Ruyi Tower."

Jiang Chen left immediately.

Soon, Jiang Chen found Ruyi Tower.

"I wonder if Ruyi Tower has what I want."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and walked into Ruyi Building.
