As the saying goes, "Evil people have their own evil people to deal with them." Wei Yuan felt that this time he played the role of the villain, pretending to be crazy and foolish like an old man, and dealt with Jiang Yu, this shrew, which was truly satisfying!
However, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unease. Why is it that such a detestable woman can live a life of abundance, spending money like water? This is precisely the root of envy towards the wealthy for many people. Why do some individuals have luck at birth that can equal a lifetime of struggle for others?
Wei Yuan vaguely remembered a concept from the Book of Changes: a person's fate is divided into preordained fate and postordained fate.
Preordained fate is irreversible; for example, your family background, appearance, and height are all predetermined and cannot be changed. However, postordained efforts can reverse some of those things that were originally destined. Wei Yuan was determined not to live his life feeling inferior because of his preordained fate, enduring everything in silence!
Especially now that he had gained the Repairing Ability, he felt that this was the opportunity to reverse his fate. Sometimes, a person's achievements in life depend on whether they accept their fate or dare to change it! Just like that saying: "My fate is determined by me, not by others!"
"If Liu Bang had accepted his fate, he would have been just an insignificant thug. If Genghis Khan had accepted his fate, he would have been merely a cowherd on the grasslands!"
This was a bit of Wei Yuan's grumbling but also a belief that supported him moving forward. If you think that no matter how hard you try in the future, it will all be in vain, then even if you achieve great things in life, it will be hard to cover up!
Wei Yuan believed that his thoughts were mainly influenced by witnessing Jiang Yu's arrogant behavior as a nouveau riche. At that moment, when Wei Yuan opened the door and walked into the house, a strong aroma of Angelica suddenly wafted towards him!
As he slowly approached the kitchen, Wei Yuan saw that there was no one there. He casually lifted the lid of the pot and discovered that besides the rich scent of Angelica, it seemed to be mixed with ginseng slices and other herbs. As the fragrance filled the air, he realized it was actually the smell of Angelica stewed black chicken.
This left him somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, Han Ling shouldn't have any interest in cooking such things right now. Since he lived here and only Yang Ying knew about it, could this female tyrant actually be cooking this dish?
It seemed that after paying her eight thousand dollars, he had believed her claim that the medicinal soup could nourish and regulate his body. Did eight thousand dollars really just buy him this pot of soup? Wei Yuan felt like he had been taken for a fool!
If it weren't for Yang Ying's impressive skills, Wei Yuan wouldn't have believed her at all. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures. After fighting with Viper Man earlier, the reason he couldn't chase after him wasn't just because he had taken a few kicks and was out of breath; he was genuinely physically exhausted!
"Don't steal! It's not ready yet!" Suddenly, Yang Ying's voice came from behind.
She appeared in her training outfit again but had beads of sweat on her forehead. Upon seeing Wei Yuan, she walked over and lifted the pot lid to take a look before saying, "It'll be ready in a few minutes; just wait a bit longer, Boss!"
"Is this what I bought with my money?"
Wei Yuan felt he had been quite polite. Of course, mainly because he had just fought; if he got angry with Yang Ying now and started fighting back, he definitely wouldn't stand a chance against her. If it were someone else instead of Yang Ying, Wei Yuan would have surely cursed out loud: "Are you trying to scam me?"
Yang Ying explained, "Of course not, there are other items later!"
Wei Yuan felt that she wouldn't run away anyway, so he sat at the dining table and let Yang Ying do her thing. After a few minutes, Yang Ying walked over, turned off the heat, and served half a bowl of Black-boned Chicken Soup on the table with a smile, saying to him, "Boss, please enjoy!"
Originally a girl who looked just like a Powerpuff Girl, she suddenly became so gentle that Wei Yuan found it hard to accept. He took a small sip and discovered that the soup was actually quite good. He didn't expect that Yang Ying, who seemed carefree, had such cooking skills.
"How is it, Boss? The taste is not bad, right?" Yang Ying smiled at Wei Yuan while holding her own bowl of soup.
Wei Yuan leaned over to take a look and asked, "Why are you drinking too?"
It wasn't that Wei Yuan was angry; he knew he couldn't finish such a big pot of soup by himself. However, Yang Ying had served herself less than half a bowl while she had a full bowl for herself, which made Wei Yuan feel a bit unbalanced!
"I added too much water, so I’m helping you drink some. Come on, don’t think too much about it!" Yang Ying laughed.
"Then why do I only have half a bowl?" Wei Yuan still struggled with this question.
At this moment, Yang Ying smiled slightly, her charming smile containing infinite imagination. She said, "Because you still need to exercise later; I don’t have to. Just drink up and you'll know!"
Honestly listening to this made Wei Yuan feel a bit impulsive. The combination of Yang Ying's expression and the content of her words made his mind wander with suggestive thoughts!
He downed the half bowl of Angelica Chicken Soup in one go. When he placed the empty bowl on the table, he noticed that Yang Ying had already walked away.
After waiting for a while, he saw Yang Ying return with a large box. She glanced at him and said, "Your outfit suits you quite well."
Today, Wei Yuan, seeking convenience, wore sportswear. Hearing this made him feel somewhat confused as he watched Yang Ying take out a bottle of Medicinal Wine and a bunch of lead weights from the box!
"What is this for?" Wei Yuan asked in confusion.
"First, take off your shirt," Yang Ying commanded.
When Wei Yuan took off his shirt, Yang Ying had already demonstrated with her actions. She picked up the lead weights from the box and strapped them to Wei Yuan's arms and legs, weighing over ten pounds!
At that moment, Wei Yuan felt his entire body sink down, struggling to maintain his balance. He finally understood why Yang Ying didn't let him drink too much Angelica Chicken Soup; it was all preparation for devilish training.
Times have changed; as the saying goes, no matter how skilled one is in martial arts, a kitchen knife can still be a threat. No matter how good one's kicks and punches are, a brick can still knock you down!
Therefore, Wei Yuan didn't truly intend to become a martial arts master. No amount of physical strength could compete with firearms. His current goal was simply to resolve the issues caused by the absorption of Spiritual Energy, eliminating the sudden fatigue he experienced after only a short period of exercise.
Yang Ying's answer was that it was due to blocked energy channels and uncirculated blood. Wei Yuan analyzed that the problem was likely caused by the blockage from the absorbed Spiritual Energy. So now, he followed Yang Ying's taught set of movements and practiced diligently.
With over ten pounds of lead weights on him, he needed to perform high knees in place, do push-ups, and squat up and down. These actions, which were simple for an average person, became incredibly difficult with the added weight.
Soon, the only piece of clothing on Wei Yuan's upper body—a white undershirt—was completely soaked with sweat. The shirt offered no barrier as it became transparent against his skin.
Even someone like Yang Ying, a formidable woman, couldn't help but blush at the sight. She tried to maintain a calm demeanor as if she hadn't noticed anything at all...
[This chapter has some complaints; it's just a belief in the protagonist's growth and doesn't represent anything specific. Please don't take it personally; my mental health is perfectly fine, hehe.]
