Chapter 35: Men Cry Too (1)

  At this time, Ye Lan Yu didn't have the energy to grab Ye Lang's braids either, nor did she want to discuss whether his previous actions were playful or not. She just found it strange why her younger brother would have such a tone.

  Worry and sorrow, these expressions, have never appeared on his younger brother's face. Since he was young, although he had some defects, he was always happy and carefree, without a single worry.

  He has become a normal person, spending his days leisurely studying alchemy and sleeping with Hu Tao at night.

  What's troubling him?

  Ye Lan Yu wanted to ask, but didn't have the chance to ask, at least not for now.

  At this time, Hu Niang had just come out from inside, and after washing her bath, she brought a refreshing fragrance, walking towards Ye Lang, and looked at the two siblings in the yard with some curiosity.

  What happened? Why did Blue Rain's expression seem a bit strange and Young Master also seemed a bit odd.

  Hutao's sense of touch is extremely sensitive, and she can even detect such a small part, I don't know if it's because of her own nature or because the main character in between is her young master.

  Ye Lang stood up and silently walked towards Hu Niang, then hugged her in his arms, just like that, quietly, quietly hugging, without saying a word.

  "What's wrong with him?" Hu Niang and Ye Lan Yu felt strange.

  Although Ye Lang slept with Hu Niang at night, he never held her during the day and would not do so in front of others.

  "Master, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Hu Niang didn't speak at first either, she just let Ye Lang hold her, but Ye Lang held on for a long time, it had been ten minutes and he still hadn't moved or spoken.

  This made Hu Niang even more puzzled and completely unable to understand what was going on.

  Ye Lang slowly separated from Hu Niang, his hands grasping her shoulders, his eyes looking into hers, softly saying: "Hu Niang, don't blame me, and don't be angry, this is for your own good."

  "What? What are you talking about?" Hu Niang became even more confused, what did this mean.

  "Today..." Ye Lang looked at Hu Dou, wanting to explain the reason, wanting to explain all this, but at this time, another person rushed in.

  "Little Wang, what kind of trick are you playing again? What's the meaning of the mercenary group outside? You want to send some treasure and invite the entire Anna Mercenary Group, with a commission as high as one million. I thought you had been quiet for three months, but it turns out you were just accumulating energy, waiting to burst out all at once." Long Anqi rushed into the courtyard, loudly scolding Ye Lang.

  Yes, one million gold coins, what a concept. Ordinary tasks have commissions of several gold coins, slightly higher ones are tens of gold coins, those with danger double it, and even higher ones that take time and effort are worth hundreds or thousands, and those with danger double again.

  But even for top-level and extremely dangerous missions like dragon hunting, the reward is only around a million, or sometimes not even that much.

  Of course, this commission calculation is based on the level of Anna's mercenary group. Sometimes a task requires many mercenary groups to cooperate, just like the dragon-slaying task, which can't be done by one or two mercenary groups alone, and many helpers need to be invited. After careful consideration, a mercenary group can get at most tens of millions.

  So, in modern terms, the cost-effectiveness of this task far exceeds any other task, and any mercenary group would agree to it, because it allows them to accelerate their development.

  And Anna's mercenary corps, after receiving this task, developed rapidly in the following years and suddenly jumped to the top ten.

  This is equivalent to receiving a huge investment, which is why Anna's mercenary group was able to summon everyone back in just two months. If it were normal times, it would probably take half a year to settle everything.

  Also for this reason, Anna's mercenary corps gave Ye Lang a honorary position as the head of the team, treating him as the highest level of distinguished guest, catering to his every need, and giving him everything for free, although Ye Lang, being a prodigal son, wouldn't care about getting things for free.

  What are the benefits of Ye Lang? At the very least, it's the sharing of information among mercenaries. Ye Lang, who knew the importance of information, later felt that he had spent his 10 million yuan too little.

  There's another benefit, which is that the mercenary group consists entirely of women, and there are many beautiful women among them, especially their leader Anna. As a result, Ye Lang, as an honorary leader, also gained some unexpected benefits.

  To sum it up in one sentence, this intangible benefit seems like something that can't be bought even with a million dollars.

  But now everyone can't see it, they just see Ye Lang's lavish spending again.

  "One million... Young Master, you're being too reckless, what treasure do you want to give away?" Hu Niang was also stunned upon hearing this number, as it was Ye Lang's highest record of squandering money. The most he had spent before was a six-figure sum, but now it had reached seven figures.

  "I want to give this life's most precious treasure, I won't let my treasure suffer any damage." Ye Lang said with a smile as he looked at Hu Niang.

  "What? What is it? Do you have such a treasure? You've taken Ban's notes to use as a table pad, you've never been serious about anything." Hu Niang doubted, from small to large, she had never found Ye Lang taking anything as a treasure.

  But if some alchemists heard Tiger Girl's words, they would definitely cry out and condemn Ye Lang, who had actually taken the original notes from Class as a table mat, not even a copied version.

  "They're all just inanimate objects, and I've already memorized them, so why bother with them. My treasure is you, you are my forever most precious treasure." Ye Lang smiled at Hu Niao, although his words seemed a bit careless, a bit playful, but anyone could feel that he was being serious, and it was the kind of seriousness that left no room for doubt.

  "Hmph, you're teasing me again. You think I'll always be your baby?... Wait, what did you just say?" Hu Diao didn't react at first, but soon realized the issue.

  Calling yourself a treasure, isn't that saying you want to be protected is yourself?

  This makes sense now, why he said earlier that he would blame himself and get angry, it turns out to be this way, wanting to send himself away.

  Hudie thought of this and her heart tightened. She looked at Yelang, a little afraid to ask: "Young master, are you going to send me away? Don't you want me anymore?"

  "Silly girl, how could I not want you!" Seeing the frightened Tiger Girl, Ye Lang hugged her again and said softly.

  "Why are you still seeing me off?" Hu Diao trembled lightly in Ye Lang's arms, still afraid.
