The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Ye Zhiqiu was also afraid that Long Chen would leave.

After all, she had already promised the man in black to look after Long Chen for half a year.

If she hadn’t agreed, it wouldn’t matter, but since she had agreed, she had to take responsibility.

What’s more, this was a great training program.

If Long Chen became awesome again in the future, she would be the greatest contributor.

As she thought about it, Ye Zhiqiu couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu’s inexplicable smile, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

"Zhiqiu, what are you laughing at? You’re not planning to do something terrible to me, are you?

I... I’m telling you, even though you’re my fiancée, that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want."

Long Chen’s expression was very serious.

But within that seriousness, there was also a hint of nervousness.

Ye Zhiqiu stared at Long Chen and found him inexplicably cute.

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud and pulled Long Chen along, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you, come with me."

A moment later, Ye Zhiqiu took Long Chen into her room and said, "From now on, you’ll stay in the same room with me so I can supervise you."

"Is that okay?" Long Chen hesitated.

"Don’t get me wrong, you’ll sleep on the floor and I’ll sleep on the bed. No crossing the boundary, if you dare to cross it, I’m going to cripple you."

Ye Zhiqiu made a scissors gesture and snipped twice.

Long Chen instinctively felt a chill in a certain area and swiftly found bedding, setting up a bed on the floor.

"Are you really going to sleep now? It’s not even dark yet."

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly said.

"I feel a bit sleepy." Long Chen said.

"No sleeping allowed." Ye Zhiqiu said, "I still have things to discuss with you, get up."

"Can’t I just sleep first?"

Long Chen closed his eyes.

Ye Zhiqiu immediately pulled him up, "I said no sleeping, listen to me first then you can sleep."

"Fine, you talk, you talk."

Long Chen’s eyelids drooped.

After thinking for a while, Ye Zhiqiu said, "I’ll take you to the library these next few days, you can furiously absorb all kinds of knowledge there, hopefully, it might awaken some of your past memories.

Then, you need to find yourself a job, you’ll work during the day, and in the mornings and evenings, I’ll train you in martial arts."

"Martial arts?" Long Chen looked serious. "Zhiqiu, those dead people at Snow Mountain Peak, it was you who killed them, right?"

"How did you..." Ye Zhiqiu’s eyes widened, wanting to say how dare you accuse me out of the blue.

But she couldn’t continue.

Because the current Long Chen had forgotten his past.

Telling him that those people were actually killed by him would cause him immense psychological pressure.

So, after a brief thought, Ye Zhiqiu said, "The deaths of those people have nothing to do with me, they were killed by another expert.

Anyway, you don’t need to worry about that now, nor should you tell anyone else. Your task right now is to support yourself and keep learning."

"You can’t support me?" Long Chen frowned.

"I damn..." Ye Zhiqiu almost exploded.

Could living off your partner be stated so rightfully and openly?

"What’s wrong?" Long Chen stared at Ye Zhiqiu. "If you can’t support me, then why do you still tell me you’re my fiancée? I don’t understand, you even want me to go out and work. Other men surely wouldn’t need this, Zhiqiu, I’m really disappointed in you."

"F***." Ye Zhiqiu was shocked: "You... you really are a piece of work, aren’t you?

"Let’s make this clear today, you need a reality check."

Ye Zhiqiu dragged Long Chen and ranted for a long time.

But Ye Zhiqiu soon realized that her knowledge was not enough to convince Long Chen that men are naturally supposed to protect women or have the duty to support them under certain circumstances.

Long Chen was as stubborn as a bull.

This drove Ye Zhiqiu to distraction, and in the end, she blurted out: "If you keep being so stubborn, then I’m not marrying you. I’ll let you remain single forever, believe me or not?"

"There are so many women, I’m not..."

"What did you say?" Ye Zhiqiu raised her fist angrily: "I warn you, without my permission, if you find one woman, I’ll kill one, hmph, I’ll keep killing until you’re completely alone, don’t doubt my strength, you better behave.

Besides, you know, so many people died at that Snow Mountain Peak, but I saved you there, so think it through."

"Uh, noted."

Long Chen was genuinely scared.

Ye Zhiqiu faltered for a moment.

This man with sky-high strength, even with amnesia, was afraid of physical strength?

"Ha ha."

She was overjoyed, laughing heartily.

However, her behavior appeared very odd to Long Chen, which made him even more panicked.

"Zhiqiu, don’t be like this, I’ll go to the library with you, and also, I promise I’ll find a job, I won’t rely on you."

Long Chen said cautiously.

"That’s more like it, hey, go ahead and sleep."

Ye Zhiqiu was inwardly thrilled.

Controlling a world-class powerhouse turned out to be quite an experience.

...

The next day, bright and early, Ye Zhiqiu pulled a soundly sleeping Long Chen up and took him to the library.

Initially, she thought she might need to use some tricks to get Long Chen interested in reading.

But to her surprise, once Long Chen began reading, he simply couldn’t stop.

He picked up a Great Xia History book and flipped through it in minutes.

Then, he picked up another book and also finished it in a very short time.

At first, Ye Zhiqiu thought Long Chen might not like them and was switching books.

But the more she watched, the more she felt something was off. Long Chen’s expression seemed to indicate he had finished reading each book?

Or was he pretending to have finished?

"Stop for a second."

Ye Zhiqiu couldn’t help but stop Long Chen: "You’ve gone through seven books already, in half an hour, and you couldn’t find one you liked?"

"I like them all, after finishing one shouldn’t I continue to the next? Otherwise, what’s the point of coming to the library? With so many books here, we can’t waste them."

Long Chen retorted casually.

"You keep boasting. It’s impossible to finish these books so quickly, finishing any of them normally takes days and nights." Ye Zhiqiu got somewhat angry: "You can’t fool me like this."

"I’m not fooling you, isn’t this how everyone reads books?"

Long Chen frowned.

"You’re still arguing! Let me test you then. If you pass, I’ll admit everything you’ve said is true."

Ye Zhiqiu glared at Long Chen.

"You take the test."

Long Chen said gravely, "But it has to be based on these books, I haven’t read any others."

"Of course."

Ye Zhiqiu picked up Great Xia History, skimmed through it for a while, and then, holding the book, began to ask questions.

As Ye Zhiqiu asked questions, Long Chen answered smoothly.

Ye Zhiqiu asked dozens of questions in a row, and Long Chen answered all of them perfectly, even explaining the events behind the answers.

"Is it really that supernatural?"

Ye Zhiqiu gasped.

Then, she put down Great Xia History, picked up another book, and started asking questions frantically.

After nearly an hour and hundreds of questions, Long Chen didn’t get a single answer wrong, all were completely correct.

At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu was shocked almost to numbness.

What kind of monster is this?

Photographic memory?

"Wife, can I continue reading now?"

Long Chen asked.

"Fine... you can keep reading, just don’t bother me, I’m really hurt right now."

Ye Zhiqiu held her forehead, unsure how to describe her complex feelings at the moment.

But soon, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly looked up, "Wait, what did you just call me?"

"Wife, is there a problem? That’s how it is written in the book."

"Call you a big-headed ghost’s wife, don’t call me that, we aren’t even married yet."

Ye Zhiqiu said, blushing.

"Oh."

Long Chen responded indifferently and continued reading.

Oh?

Ye Zhiqiu was annoyed, teeth itching with irritation.

Taking advantage and that’s his attitude?

However, seeing Long Chen reading earnestly, she couldn’t bear to disturb him and could only stew in her frustration.

Suddenly, night fell.

Long Chen had been immersed in the library all day, engrossed in reading.

Ye Zhiqiu wanted him to come home, but he outright refused: "I won’t go back, I want to finish all the books here."

"It’s already evening, we can’t just not eat, right?"

Ye Zhiqiu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

"You go eat and bring me some."

Long Chen’s answer was simple, direct, and clear.

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and then shouted loudly, "Chen Feng, no one has ever dared to order me, Ye Zhiqiu, around like this. You, come home with me right now."

"I only wish my heart resonates with yours, I will never fail these feelings of longing, be good, go eat."

Long Chen waved his hand but didn’t turn around.

"The original quote is ’I only wish your heart resonates with mine,’ right?"

"Is it? Doesn’t matter, the meaning is the same, darling, go have your meal, I want to stay here and read for a few more days."

Long Chen said gently, an air of elegance enveloping him in an inexplicable manner.

For a moment, Ye Zhiqiu was so affected that the images of him slaughtering the Martial Gods at the Peak of Kunlun flooded her mind.

Seeing how engrossed and passionate Long Chen was, Ye Zhiqiu finally compromised, leaving alone to eat, and later, brought Long Chen his meal personally.

For the next five days, it was the same routine.

Luckily, on the fifth night, Long Chen successfully finished reading ninety percent of the books in the library.

He stood up, stretched lazily, and was thoroughly satisfied.

Without exaggeration, the current Long Chen was incomparable to how he was a few days ago.

Swimming in a sea of books, Long Chen had acquired endless knowledge, which had greatly changed his mindset. He was no longer the naive little rabbit who knew nothing when he first woke up from amnesia.

"Don’t sleep anymore; let’s go home."

Long Chen gently tapped Ye Zhiqiu’s head.

Ye Zhiqiu was dozing off and, hearing Long Chen’s voice, opened her eyes groggily, a bit dazed, "Are you done reading?"

"Yes, let’s go home."

Long Chen smiled.

"Oh."

Ye Zhiqiu stood up, not forgetting to pick up the half-finished milk tea.

"Let me carry that for you."

Long Chen reached out his hand.

"Hmph, it’s about time you showed some conscience, you jerk, you’ve made me lose sleep these past few days."

Ye Zhiqiu muttered.

"Why haven’t you slept well? Worried about me?"

"Nonsense, you don’t know anything; what if someone bullied you? What if you wandered off and couldn’t find your way back home?"

Ye Zhiqiu blurted out.

Long Chen laughed and said, "I might have before, but not anymore."

"Why?"

"Before, I was like a blank slate, but thanks to you bringing me to the library, endless knowledge has transformed that blank slate into an overflowing source of power. I don’t need you to protect me all the time anymore."

Long Chen chuckled.

"That’s not quite..."

Ye Zhiqiu stared at Long Chen, circled around him, and suspiciously asked, "This demeanor, this tone, you haven’t regained your memory, have you?

"That I haven’t, though I do wish I could regain my memory."

Long Chen furrowed his brows at the mention of memory, "Maybe we should go to the hospital and do a thorough checkup to see if there’s any way to recover my memory. What do you think?"

"This..."

Ye Zhiqiu was a bit troubled for a moment.

Should she do this?

"What’s wrong, Zhiqiu?" Long Chen looked at Ye Zhiqiu. "If you don’t like the past me, then I don’t mind starting anew from this moment. In any case, as long as you’re by my side, I’m okay with anything; to hold your hand, to grow old with you."

"Are... are you serious?"

Ye Zhiqiu, touched by his somewhat cheesy words, felt an urge to cry.

"I am serious, you’re my fiancée, after all. If I didn’t love you before, why would I have agreed to our engagement? So rest assured, no matter what, I won’t let you down."

Long Chen said solemnly.

"But that was before; now you’ve lost your memory, do you still love me?"

Ye Zhiqiu asked, feeling a bit insecure.

"Now, perhaps it’s not about love, but it’s definitely more than just liking. I firmly believe this feeling, surpassing mere liking, will eventually turn back into a gentle love. I’m looking forward to it, are you?"

"Goodness, you’re so cheesy, I can’t stand you anymore."

ps: Wishing everyone a happy Qixi Festival, haha.
