Among the three Divine Beasts, Nine Treasures listens to Zhou Hanyu the most.

Moreover, due to the milk incident, it somewhat resents the Black Tortoise, so without thinking, it lunges to bite it.

"Damn! Are you kidding me? Are you a White Tiger or a White Dog? At the mention of biting, you just go right for it?"

The Black Tortoise clammed up into its shell, angrily cursing.

While Nine Treasures and Black Tortoise were squabbling, Yang Yan had already followed Zhou Hanyun to his room.

"Why did you follow along? You're going to the USA tomorrow, and I have to discuss opening a branch here in the next few days, so I can't go with you. Let me help you get your change of clothes ready first."

Zhou Hanyun deftly took Yang Yan's clothes from the wardrobe and began to organize them skillfully, speaking softly as she did so.

Seeing Zhou Hanyun prepare for his journey like a caring wife readying her husband for a trip, Yang Yan felt a surge of inexplicable emotion.

He walked up behind Zhou Hanyun, gently held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear:

"I'm sorry, truly sorry."

Zhou Hanyun trembled slightly as if electrified, forced a complex smile, and with some difficulty said:

"You... don't need to apologize. A person like you, in the first place... in the first place, was never meant to belong to just me alone. That would be too much of a luxury."

"Besides, I only need to know one thing: that I still hold a certain place in your heart, and that's enough."

In the end, Zhou Hanyun quietly leaned against Yang Yan, speaking as if in a dream.

Silence...

After a full minute of silence, Zhou Hanyun gently pushed Yang Yan away, then with slightly reddened eyes stared seriously into his eyes and said:

"That Wuyan, tell her to move here! Being alone in the Imperial Capital, unfamiliar with the place, it's good to have someone to rely on."

After saying this, Zhou Hanyun turned around and continued packing his clothes.

This time it was Yang Yan who didn't know what to say.

Nevertheless, he was deeply moved.

He could clearly see that although Zhou Hanyun had her share of bitterness, her earlier words were from the heart.

Oh!

To earn a woman's love like this, he must have saved the entire universe in his past life!

Yang Yan marveled to himself.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Wang Xue called Yang Yan to tell him everything was prepared, including the airplane ticket, and the flight was at noon.

If he had no issues, he should just go meet them directly.

After saying a simple goodbye to Zhou Hanyun and the others, Yang Yan grabbed a backpack, hailed a car, and went to join Wang Xue and the others.

When Yang Yan appeared, Xiaoqian looked the most excited.

On the contrary, Shiya Jie was the most calm.

Yang Yan scanned the women, finally settling his gaze on Shiya Jie.

Last time, in the bathroom, Shiya Jie had caused him quite a nosebleed, a memory still fresh in his mind.

"Hey, what are you looking at me for?"

Shiya Jie asked coldly, seeing Yang Yan's somewhat unusual gaze.

Seeing her react so strongly, Yang Yan awkwardly said:

"Nothing, just haven't seen you in a while, kind of missed you."

"Smooth talker!"

Shiya Jie snorted coldly, then diverted her gaze, ignoring Yang Yan.

Watching this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but tease:

"Pretty boy, aside from missing Yajie, did you miss us too?"

"Of course I did! Who wouldn't miss beautiful ladies?"

Yang Yan said seriously.

"Wow! We haven't seen you for a while, and you've turned into such a sweet talker. But, what can we do, we girls just love hearing sweet words! So, our safety is in your hands this time! Don't end up as an inside job, okay!"

"I'll try my best!"

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Yang Yan exaggeratedly put on a troubled expression, causing the group of girls to burst into laughter, bending forward and backward.

The waiting time quietly slipped away with Yang Yan chatting with the girls.

On the plane, Yang Yan leaned back on the seat as usual and began to rest with his eyes closed.

This was his first time formally setting foot in the USA as an ordinary person on a plane.

His previous visits hadn't left much of a positive impression of the country.

After about twenty long hours of travel, they finally stepped onto American soil.

"I'm not saying, but the transportation is really annoying! Over twenty hours, and still on a plane! If it were by ship, wouldn't we lose our lives?"

Next to him, Wang Min complained.

"There's no other way. In the past, people used to take over a month on a ship to get here! You should be content!"

Zhang Qian quipped with a smile.

"Alright, let's find a place to rest and adjust to the time difference a bit!"

Wang Xue had been unusually quiet since getting on the plane.

This was her first time speaking in over twenty hours.

Hearing Wang Xue speak, the girls ceased talking.

They could tell that Wang Xue's mood was not too good right now.

Probably she was thinking of her deceased brother again.

If it was just Yang Yan alone, he definitely wouldn't rest in the USA.

Because to him, the mere twenty-hour journey was boring at most, not tiring.

In fact, he even had a good sleep, and was in great spirits.

"Let's find something to eat first, I'm starving. I mean, the stuff on the plane was really inedible!"

Zhao Yan patted her belly, complaining.

"I totally agree! I'm starving too. Wonder if we can find a Chinese restaurant nearby?"

Wang Min immediately chimed in.

After wandering around, Yang Yan and his group finally found a restaurant.

After Zhang Qian fluently ordered in English, Yang Yan looked at her with a monster-like gaze and said:

"Hey? How come you speak such good English?"

"Bumpkin!"

Before Zhang Qian could respond, Shiya Jie already gave Yang Yan a fierce glare and taunted with disdain:

"Xiaoqian grew up here in America. If her family hadn't tricked her into going back for a matchmaking, she'd still be here doing further studies!"

From the moment they met at the Huaxia airport, Shiya Jie had been targeting Yang Yan.

Now that she got the chance, of course she wouldn't let it go.

Hearing Shiya Jie's words, Yang Yan dramatically rolled his eyes but didn't argue with her.

Remembering the last incident, although he had quite a nosebleed, he did get to see some good "scenery," which was an advantage.

Therefore, it was completely understandable for the wronged young girl to have some opinions about him.

If he were to argue further, he would look inferior instead.

Yang Yan, of course, wouldn't do such a thing.
