"It's alright, that villa is quite spacious. Two people living there won't affect each other, and besides, you brought the Tearing Earth Bear Soul. The Dongji Guild President even awarded me, so I should thank you," Tang Ya insisted.
Seeing Tang Ya's determination, Su Chen could only nod in agreement. After all, who would want to squeeze into a cheap motel when they could stay in a luxurious and clean villa?
The main issue was that he was currently too poor, which didn't quite match his identity as Ling Wu. In theory, if Ling Wu worked a bit harder, he could buy a house in a year and achieve financial freedom in five years. After all, he was a noble Ling Wu, someone ordinary people could only look up to.
Those powerful Ling Wu families were referred to as clans, and even their elders had to be given some respect.
Soon enough, Su Chen arrived at the villa rented by Tang Ya, driving her champagne-colored BMW. After getting out of the car, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy for the BMW. Working at the Lingwu Association certainly paid well; it was considered a prestigious position.
Moreover, Tang Ya herself wasn't an ordinary girl. She graduated with excellent grades from the Eastern Polar Academy three years ago and had already broken through to Martial Master level. Now she was at the Wu Xiu Wei level. It wouldn't be long before she became a respected Martial Master with a bright future ahead.
The villa's grand entrance slowly opened, revealing a spacious and bright hall. Tang Ya led Su Chen up the stairs to a room on the second floor. Gently pushing open the door, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.
Tang Ya's roommate was her close friend, also a young lady, so the room was decorated with a feminine touch—pink curtains and stuffed toys piled on the bedside.
However, since Su Chen would only be staying temporarily, it didn't matter much.
After taking a shower in his room, Su Chen quickly changed into clean clothes and collapsed onto the pristine white bed, ready for a good rest.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Tang Ya's soft voice called out, "Dinner is ready."
Hearing this, Su Chen immediately got up and headed downstairs. Upon entering the kitchen, he saw Tang Ya wearing an apron, bustling about with bowls and dishes—a picture of a devoted wife.
Su Chen hurried over to help her set the table and arrange the food. The dinner spread was exceptionally lavish compared to the takeout he usually ate; it was like night and day.
The table was filled with an array of delicious dishes, including fragrant braised pork, tender stewed ribs, sweet and sour scrambled eggs with tomatoes, refreshing smashed cucumbers, and steaming rib soup.
Although these were all ordinary home-cooked meals, they at least formed a complete set of four dishes and a soup, making one's mouth water.
After a busy time in the kitchen, Tang Ya carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead, her gaze focused intently on Su Chen. When she saw him lift a bowl of rib soup, a radiant smile spread across her face, her eyes reflecting concern and anticipation.
Su Chen took a deep breath as he raised the bowl of rib soup to his lips, inhaling the rich aroma that wafted towards him. Without hesitation, he took a large sip, and instantly, a burst of freshness filled his palate. The warm broth flowed down his throat, leaving him feeling immensely satisfied.
"How is it? Is it good?" Tang Ya asked with an eager expression. Her eyes sparkled with expectation and nervousness, as if waiting for an important evaluation.
"It's amazing! Sister Tang, your cooking is simply chef-level!" Su Chen replied without hesitation, a satisfied smile lighting up his face. He spoke while eagerly digging into the dishes, relishing this delightful dinner.
Before long, Su Chen finished an entire bowl alongside white rice. He ate heartily, completely immersed in the world of flavors. Meanwhile, Tang Ya didn’t rush to pick up her chopsticks; instead, she secretly observed Su Chen as he ate, seemingly focused entirely on him.
Sitting quietly at the dining table, Tang Ya watched Su Chen devour his meal with enthusiasm, a subtle smile creeping onto her lips. She found the scene to be heartwarming, filling her with a sense of familial warmth. Her gaze occasionally drifted back to Su Chen, her eyes shimmering with tenderness.
As evening approached and the table was cleared of all food—most of which had found its way into Su Chen's stomach—he felt content and full. After finishing their meal, Su Chen helped Tang Ya tidy up the kitchen before heading to his bedroom.
At that moment, he accessed the system and discovered that after half a day’s time, he had accumulated three Ten-Thousand Progress Points!
