Chapter 11  : What Are You Living For

There were three major families in the capital—Yin, Qin, and Min.

The woman whom Yan Jinyu called “Meimei” was obviously not talking to Yan Jinyu.

“Smoking is bad for the body.” It was a man’s voice. It was obviously the Second Young Master of the Min Family.

Yan Jinyu opened the third packet of yogurt and nodded as she drank, “Feng is right. Smoking is bad for the body.”

“Beauty Yu, don’t just talk about me. Aren’t you still drinking yogurt too? The seller is so kind. You still haven’t finished your yogurt after drinking for so long.”

Yan Jinyu paused, “The seller is indeed very kind.”

“Stop playing dumb with me. Did you drink too much of it again? Didn’t you say that you will only drink two packets a day?”

“This is my second packet today.”

“…”

“Little Yu, I will get someone to send the prescription and the herbs to the Yan Family in two days. You will drink the concoction according to the prescription.” It was Second Young Master Min’s voice.

Yan Jinyu was stunned, “Feng.”

“Don’t act cute with me. It’s useless. If you’ve listened to us and drink less yoghurt every day, you naturally don’t need to take the medicine.”

“I didn’t drink too much of it. Don’t you know best whether the money on my account has been used or not?”

“With your ability, you can easily get the money to buy yogurt. Why would you need to use your personal account? Hmph, Beauty Yu, I can’t control you, but Feng can.”

“Alright, I’ll just drink less of it in the future. There’s no need to send the medicine over. Chinese medicine is very bitter and I don’t like it. Feng, don’t just worry about me. Meimei was smoking earlier.”

“I’ll also prescribe her two doses of medicine later and brew it for her personally.”

As soon as he said that, she heard the voice of “Meimei”, “Beauty Yu, you actually dragged me into this! I was worried for you for nothing. You’re too much! Feng, don’t listen to her nonsense. I didn’t smoke. Didn’t you help me put out the cigarette earlier?”

“If I hadn’t come, you’d have smoked already.”

“Min, don’t think that I’m afraid of you. I…”

She was obviously gagged.

Yan Jinyu smiled and then hung up.

The third packet of yogurt was already finished. She threw the empty can into the trash can and threw a glance at the box of yogurt, but she did not take a fourth packet.

She lay down on the bed and looked at the dark night sky through the window.

In the bustling city, the lights were dim and there were no stars in the sky, unlike the small county where she had stayed for some time before.

It was not so easy to calm one’s heart, especially in the Yan Family. She was even more easily irritated.

After about five minutes, the “watch” on her wrist beeped twice more. It was a different signal and it came from “Feng.”

There were no longer any sounds from “Meimei” on the other side. Clearly, she had been “tamed” by Feng.

“Little Yu.”

“Yes, I’m here.” She knew that they would call her again. This was a tacit understanding that had been cultivated through years of life and death together.

Ghost Slaughter Island was not affiliated with any country. It was a base for an assassin organization to train their killers.

Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed, so it no longer existed. Only the top four assassins on the Assassin Ranking remained till now, and it was precisely the four of them that had jointly destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island.

“Returning to the Yan Family is not your objective. Since you will be in a bad mood if you go back, why did you return to it?”

Yan Jinyu paused for a moment before saying, “I have to go to the Yan Family’s ancestral hall to offer incense. During the years when I was missing, my grandparents had been looking for me.” She only found out about this later and they were already gone when she had the ability to return to them.

“And I’m not in a bad mood.”

“Alright, you’re not in a bad mood. If you don’t want to stay in the Yan family, go to Mount Jing to look for Yin Jiujin after you offer incense to them. With your abilities, there are plenty of ways to stay by his side. However, Yin Jiujin isn’t an easy person to deal with. You have to be careful. If you hadn’t insisted, we wouldn’t have let you take the risk to approach him.”

Not easy to deal with?

She had thought so too before meeting Yin Jiujin, but after seeing him, she’d changed her mind.

It was undeniable that Yin Jiujin had brains and ploys, but that was only for others. She felt that Yin Jiujin wouldn’t use those ploys on her.

Anyway, she had a good impression of Yin Jiujin.

“I know, but I’m not in a hurry to go to Mount Jing. Brother Nine went away to settle some matters. He’s not in North City now.”

“Brother Nine?!” The usually calm person was no longer calm when he heard how she addressed Yin Jiujin.

“Beauty Yu, tell me honestly. What the hell is Brother Nine?” Meimei who’d remained silent until now, finally couldn’t help but speak with surprise and bewilderment.

Yan Jinyu, who was lying on the bed, smiled. “He’s not bad. I’ve decided to acknowledge him as my fiancé.”

“…” No one spoke at the other end for a long time. It was obvious that they were shocked by her words.

After a long while, Feng finally said, “Are you serious?”

“Feng, you know that I never joke.”

“…But Yin Jiujin and the Yin Family behind him aren’t suitable for you.”

“There’s no such thing as suitability. If I don’t want it, no one can’t force it upon me. If I want it, I’ll definitely go get it.” She paused, then asked, “Feng, what are you living?”

There was silence on the other end of the line. After a long while, he said, “I want to take revenge for my mother, take over the Min Family’s power, accompany Fengling until she grows old, and… take care of you and Little Rain. I want to see you all find your own happiness.”

“What about Meimei? What are you living for?”

The usually carefree and charming woman was, in fact, momentarily speechless.

“Roughly about the same as Feng. I’ll accompany him to take revenge on the Min Family and accompany him until he grows old. At the same time, I’ll watch you and Little Rain find happiness.”

The Feng Ling that Feng was talking about was indeed “Meimei”.

“You all know what you are living for, but I don’t.”

The two of them fell silent.

“Beauty Yu… y-you really have no conscience. Don’t you still have us? Don’t you want us anymore?”

“Little Rain has returned home. She told me some time ago that she’d met the fiancé that her family had arranged for her when she was young. He met the standards of her ideal other half. That person seemed to have a good impression of her too. If nothing goes wrong, their betrothal would mostly remain as it is. As for Meimei and Feng, you two have each other. Even without me, you two will still have a good life.” What she meant was that they could not accompany her for the rest of her life.

They fell silent again.

Actually, they were very clear that Yan Jinyu’s motivation for living was to escape from Ghost Slaughter Island and return to the Yan Family. However, when she had the ability to return home, her grandparents were already no longer around. After that, her motivation for living became revenge. She wanted to take revenge on the fact that Ghost Slaughter Island had trapped her for so many years and made her suffer so much.

She was lost when the island was destroyed.

She no longer knew what she was living for.

She spent a long time roaming around the world and they weren’t able to contact her at all.

She would probably still be in a daze now if they had not discovered and told her the cause of the death of the person who had saved her life back then. Since she had nothing else to do, she could continue with the investigation and then take revenge for that person. It could also be considered as repaying that person for saving her life.

With Yan Jinyu’s ability, it wouldn’t take long for her to take revenge for that person. What would happen after she took revenge for that person?

“Since I have a fiancé and I think he’s a good person. I think I could protect him for the rest of his life. What do you think?”
