Chapter 243 The New Master is Getting Married
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Jiang Shu's originally sad mood was completely shattered by Feng Li's words.

She laughed in exasperation: "Do you really have to make life a living hell?"

Seeing her somewhat exasperated expression, Feng Li teased, "Looks like Bao still cares about me a little. Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"Don't joke with me like that." Jiang Shu's tone was unusually serious.

Feng Li stared at her quietly for a while, then reached out and ruffled her hair, his voice becoming more serious: "When people feel empty, lonely, and cold, they want to joke around. Honey, once things are over here, spend some time with your brother?"

into the night.

Jiang Shu went to her room alone with a photo album to watch Li Yubai's videos.

Yan Yu opened a bottle of wine and asked Feng Li, "Want a couple of sips?"

Feng Li nodded noncommittally, picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and stared at Jiang Shu's closed door, lost in thought.

Yan Yu sighed softly: "When I first joined, all I could think about was squeezing you all out and having my sister all to myself. Now that you're all leaving, it suddenly feels really bad."

Feng Li responded with an "oh," and said, "I'd be quite happy if all of you left."

Yan Yu looked at him: "Are you implying that I should leave?"

“I didn’t name names.”

Yan Yu smiled, her tone slightly teasing: "Ning Yunzhan is already defeated, Li Yubai is gone too, and Rong Jingchen has been acting strangely lately. He wants to come back, but he's hesitant, and he seems different than before. Now, the only ones truly by her side are you and me. What, you want to have her all to yourself?"

"Yes," Feng Li replied matter-of-factly.

The next day, while Yan Yu was at the film set, Feng Li took Jiang Shufei to the United States.

Jiang Shu had no interest in traveling, but Feng Li said he would take her to see those medicinal herb bases, and that any herbs she liked would be directly transferred to her name. It was such a huge offer that Jiang Shu couldn't refuse.

As a global monopoly on medicinal herbs, Fengli's medicinal herb bases are located all over the world, but the seven most valued ones are all in the United States.

As the two explored, Jiang Shu was asked to sign a contract for the gifting and transfer of ownership of each base they passed.

After more than ten days, Jiang Shu had a thick stack of papers in her hands.

"You gave me the whole medicinal herb base, aren't you afraid of losing everything?" Jiang Shu felt incredibly guilty as she took it.

"Then why don't you sign a lifelong sugar daddy/sugar baby contract with me?" Feng Li smiled meaningfully, deliberately provoking her. "Dare you?"

Jiang Shu's face darkened: "When we get back, I'll write a contract draft for you to see."

"No need for all that trouble, a verbal promise will do." Feng Li reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head. "Say it to me?"

Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment: "Who's afraid of who? Come on."

Feng Li's voice was languid, with a hint of cynicism: "Tell me, you'll support me for the rest of my life."

"..." Jiang Shu paused for a moment, "You're so precious, even a single piece of clothing of yours costs hundreds of thousands or millions, I can't afford to support you."

“Then let’s put it another way.” Feng Li’s voice lowered slightly. “Baby, tell me you will love me, for a lifetime.”

Jiang Shu hesitated slightly.

Feng Li scoffed: "Dare not? The word 'love' doesn't cost a penny. With my looks, what woman in the world wouldn't love me?"

Jiang Shu coughed lightly: "Okay, I will love you forever."

Where Jiang Shu couldn't see, Feng Li's peach blossom eyes shimmered, his expression one of utter satisfaction: "Besides, you only love me."

Jiang Shu: "Ali, you've gone too far." "Baby, you've gone too far. If love isn't exclusive, what's the difference between it and not loving at all, hmm?"

Jiang Shu was a little annoyed: "Alright, alright, I only love you."

She waited a moment longer: "Is there anything else?"

"That's all," Feng Li said softly. "That's enough."

He gently hugged Jiang Shu, his tone casual yet affectionate, "Tomorrow I'll take you to my most important base."

The most important base that Feng Li mentioned was the island that was bombed not long ago.

Feng Li first took her on a tour of the medicinal herb base, then led her into a secret room that led directly to an underground submarine. They spent two days playing underwater. All sorts of strange and wonderful sea creatures appeared in Jiang Shu's field of vision through the submarine's special glass, which made Jiang Shu's eyes widen with curiosity.

Feng Li remained lazily seated to the side. Lately, he had even refused to enter the cat space, preferring to spend all his time with Jiang Shu. He was unusually well-behaved and obedient, not causing any trouble or fuss. His beautiful eyes would often wander to Jiang Shu. Jiang Shu glared at him: "Why are you always looking at me for no reason?"

"I just want to look at him a little longer," Feng Li replied with a roguish grin. "I can never get enough of my darling."

Jiang Shu was a little embarrassed: "I'm not that charming..."

Feng Li smiled but did not answer.

After visiting the underwater world, Jiang Shu was actually getting a little tired of traveling. So Feng Li didn't take her anywhere else and instead stayed at the base for the time being.

Another half month later, Yan Yu and Rong Jingchen also arrived on the island.

Yan Yu's tone was full of resentment: "Feng Li, can't you do anything right? I only went to the film set for a couple of visits and you poached my sister. She's been flying all over the country. It's fine if she's having fun, but look at the kind of life she's living with you!"

He pointed to a pot of mushy fish soup in front of Jiang Shu and Feng Li. It was fish that Feng Li had personally caught and souped himself.

Rong Jingchen arrived two hours later than Yan Yu. His gaze towards Jiang Shu was particularly complex. She should have been his closest girlfriend, yet it was all just a mirage, leaving only fragments of memory that occasionally jolt him.

“It’s good that you’re both here.” Feng Li glanced at the two of them. “Killing fish and chickens is such a hassle. From now on, I’ll leave it to Rong Jingchen.”

Then, he instructed Yan Yu: "It just rained, the wild vegetables are especially tender, go and pick them."

In fact, there are several internationally renowned chefs on the island.

But at this moment, no one mentioned it. They maintained their self-sufficient lifestyle in the villa, with a clear division of labor, and truly endured a few days of tedious and tasteless hardship.

While Jiang Shu was away, Yan Yu rubbed her stomach, which was a little hard to digest, and sighed, "I really miss our chef right now."

Everyone knows who he's talking about.

The seventh day after Yan Yu and the others arrived on the island was also a month after Li Yubai left.

Jiang Shu suggested going back to sweep his grave, and the school was also urging her to enroll.

But Rong Jingchen's expression turned serious: "We can't leave for the time being. I've received news that the vampires are making moves."

Yan Yu had been closely monitoring the movements of those gold-plated IDs and had even infiltrated their internal network multiple times to gather information. At this moment, he confirmed Rong Jingchen's statement:

"The forums on the vampire side are all discussing that their new master has recently recovered from his injuries and restored those dilapidated main halls to their former glory. He has also renovated the vampire's ancient buildings and messy environment, and bought a lot of red lanterns and red silk from outside. Red roses and black roses are being used like they're free, covering the entire vampire territory."

Jiang Shu now gets instantly enraged at the mere mention of her new master's name: "What kind of monster is he going to be this time?"

“He won’t cause any trouble this time.” Yan Yu looked at the latest and most popular discussion posts on the forum, and then looked at Jiang Shu with a strange expression.

Feng Li glanced at him lazily: "Speak."

Yan Yu sighed softly: "The new master is getting married—to you, sister."
