"Boss Su, aren't you worried that Young Master Lin will go to Shangqing University again and come into contact with the Second Miss of the Jiang family?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
Su Hua curled her lips into a smile. "Ah Xuan doesn't have the energy for that."
An ambiguous look appeared on Jiang Qing's face.
It was just as she thought. When Boss Su and Young Master Lin were in bed last night, it must have been really intense.
"Jiang Qing, go find me some nourishing tonic soups, the kind that can improve one's abilities in that area."
Su Hua paused for a moment and then added, "It's for a friend of mine."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Jiang Qing smiled, not exposing Su Hua's lie. "Alright, I'll go look for some for your friend right away."
This 'friend' sure is a real friend.
Then again.
Boss Su's abilities were already quite strong. If she took even more tonics, who knew if Young Master Lin would be able to handle it.
A gossipy gleam appeared in Jiang Qing's eyes.
It was just a pity that she couldn't know what happened between the two of them in bed. It must have been very exciting.
Lin Xuan slept all the way until eleven o'clock before he finally dragged himself out of bed.
He shook out his hand.
A whole night had passed, yet his hand was actually still so sore.
Lin Xuan came downstairs yawning.
Butler Wang served Lin Xuan a bowl of ten-treasure nourishing tonic soup.
"Young Master Lin, this is for you."
Lin Xuan frowned. "Butler Wang, how did you know to brew this for me?"
Butler Wang smiled and said, "When the Miss had her episode yesterday, I knew Young Master Lin wouldn't be able to escape."
Whenever the Miss had an episode, she liked to call Young Master Lin her little bed slave, little bed slave... Wasn't it obvious what the Miss took Young Master Lin into the room to do?
Lin Xuan sighed in his heart.
It seemed that his wise and brilliant image in the hearts of these servants at Night Manor was ruined.
Forget it.
Ruined or not, so be it.
Even though he only put in physical effort last night and didn't completely dry up, drinking more nourishing soup to replenish his strength wasn't a bad idea.
After all, Hua had held back for so long. Once her body recovered and she could do that kind of thing, he would definitely be locked in the bedroom by Hua for days and nights on end.
The day after tomorrow was the day he would treat Hua. Before Hua's illness was cured, he had to properly nourish his body, otherwise he wouldn't have the energy to deal with Hua in the future.
"Butler Wang," Lin Xuan said, "for the next few days, I'll have to trouble you to brew this ten-treasure nourishing soup for me every day."
"Alright, no problem." Butler Wang nodded with a smile.
Lin Xuan sat in the dining room and began to eat.
He didn't go out all day, staying inside Night Manor.
Jiang Yutong didn't receive any calls from the students at Shangqing University, so she knew Lin Xuan hadn't gone there.
Her people had also been keeping an eye on the Tianmu Group, and they hadn't called Jiang Yutong either.
Jiang Yutong knew that Lin Xuan was most likely staying at home again today.
"Where exactly is Little Xuan's home?" Jiang Yutong muttered in confusion. "How come no matter how much I investigate, I can't find his home address?"
It was truly too bizarre.
Their Jiang family had a comprehensive intelligence network. Usually, they could find out almost anything with a single check, but they still constantly hit a wall when it came to Lin Xuan.
"Forget it."
Jiang Yutong shook her head.
Right now, she should just focus on making money, figuring out how to promote their skincare products overseas, and preparing for the company's IPO.
If their company went public, the stocks in Little Xuan's hands would definitely multiply many times over.
Little Xuan loved money. Seeing this, he would definitely be extremely happy.
Lin Xuan comfortably played on his phone at Night Manor for the entire day.
Foxtail came running to urge him for updates again.
[Boss, you haven't updated your novel in two days. Working on and off like this, are you doing justice to your readers and fans?]
Seeing his message, Lin Xuan just remembered that his saved drafts back then were only enough for half a month.
Calculating the time, his drafts had indeed run out a few days ago.
He scrolled to the comment section of his most recently updated novel.
A large crowd of readers was already there, urging Lin Xuan for updates.
— Damn it, another missed update. Author, you really are short and small, and your stamina is terrible.
— The author misses updates so often, he must have too much money. Without a lack of money, there's no motivation to update. If only Lin Xuan wasn't some business genius.
That way, Lin Xuan would update like crazy for money.
Just like when Lin Xuan updated his first novel about a yandere female CEO. He needed money to start a business, so he started updating like crazy. In just a few days, he updated a million-word full-length novel. They were able to read the entire book in one breath, and the feeling couldn't have been better!
What a pity.
Lin Xuan was only diligent at the very beginning. Later on, it was an unshakeable four thousand words a day.
Even later, he didn't even manage four thousand words. He frequently missed updates from time to time, acting completely aloof and indifferent.
If it were any other author with this kind of update schedule, they would definitely turn around and run.
You update novels to earn our money. If you don't update, are we supposed to beg you?
But Lin Xuan was different. Lin Xuan owned the Tianmu Group, raking in tens of billions every year. He really didn't care about the meager income from a novel.
Also, the novels Lin Xuan wrote were just way, way, way too good.
They really couldn't bear to drop Lin Xuan's novels, so they could only beg him for updates in all sorts of ways.
The short-tempered ones just started cursing in the comment section.
[I really, super super want to lock Lin Xuan in a dark room and use a leather whip to make him update. If he doesn't update, I'll whip him!]
[Plus one, I want to do that too.]
[If you guys are teaming up, count me in.]
Seeing these comments, Lin Xuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
When it came to updating his novels, he really was a bit cold.
He left a comment in the novel's comment section.
[Updating immediately.]
Thousands of replies instantly piled up under his comment.
— Congratulations, congratulations! The missing person has returned.
— Ahhhhh, author, you're finally back, I love you so much.
— Waiting obediently...
Lin Xuan ducked into his space and, in a very short amount of time, wrote thirty thousand words. He uploaded them as a mass release, and then continued writing enough drafts to last a month.
After doing all this, he stretched his back.
It was finally done.
The next day.
Lin Xuan went to the Su Group to keep Su Hua company.
After lunch, on the sofa in the CEO's office, Su Hua nestled in Lin Xuan's arms.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "Ah Xuan, I've inquired about it. This Doctor Xiaoyao has incredible medical skills. He can even bring back people who have just died. I wonder if my illness can truly be cured."
Lin Xuan replied with certainty, "It can definitely be cured."
Hua's condition was indeed complex, but he had already found a way to treat Hua.
It would only take one month of treatment for Hua's body to completely and fully recover.
"Oh, really?" Su Hua raised her eyebrow. "Ah Xuan speaks with such certainty. Could it be that Ah Xuan is Doctor Xiaoyao?"
"I remember Ah Xuan's medical skills are quite high. Even Elder Jiang was saved by Ah Xuan."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
