X-Dragon Era

After the capture, there were less than two months left until the entrance exam for Combat Dragon Academy, so the pair didn't dare to delay and rushed back to Mountain Sea City at full speed.

The journey was uneventful, and under Xin Yun's speed, they finally made it back to Mountain Sea City three days ahead of the academy's exam. This showed that not only Yi Luo Xiang gained something from this trip, but Xin Yun's abilities had greatly improved after a week of life-or-death experiences.

As soon as they returned to Mountain Sea City, Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang hurried to the store to meet Ming Xuan, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan's mother. Nearly half a year had passed since they last saw each other, and everyone was delighted at the reunion. Ming Xuan's mother even prepared a large table of food, and Xin Yun and the others ate until their mouths were greasy.

After the meal, Ming Xuan's mother brought out the account book and handed over the accounts of the past half year. Xin Yun didn't decline; he took the book casually and then passed it to Yi Luo Xiang.

Seeing this, Yi Luo Xiang was taken aback, not understanding what Xin Yun meant. Looking at Yi Luo Xiang's puzzled face, Xin Yun chuckled, "You are my wife, naturally the household finances should be managed by you, so you should look over the accounts."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang's cheeks turned red, but she didn't refuse and gently flipped open the ledger, quickly browsing through it. The thick book, which recorded thousands of Dragon Crystal transactions, took her only about ten minutes to review.

Gently closing the ledger, Yi Luo Xiang smiled and said, "Hmm, very good... the accounts are well recorded and standardized, and there is no discrepancy in the numbers."

Watching Yi Luo Xiang being so serious, Xin Yun softened his smile. This girl... always thought about helping him, so she wouldn't pass up such an opportunity, whereas Xin Yun really wasn't cut out for this kind of work, so he had readily handed it over.

While Xin Yun was pondering, Ming Xuan's mother brought over a small box. After opening it, she took out a stack of banknotes and said, "Here are gold notes worth eighty-four million Gold Coins, which make up most of the income from this period."

Smiling as he received the banknotes, Xin Yun once again handed them to Yi Luo Xiang, chuckling, "Wife... this is the household money, make sure you keep it safe."

At Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang's face turned even redder as she protested, "Who's your wife? Stop talking nonsense."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although Yi Luo Xiang spoke harshly, her hands didn't hesitate as she quietly accepted the money and carefully tucked it into her bosom.

Seeing Yi Luo Xiang's cautious demeanor, Xin Yun couldn't help but laugh. He had entrusted her with the money just to give her some confidence.

Yi Luo Xiang, besides her innate intelligence, was quite ordinary in other respects, making her lack confidence and feel insecure. She always worried Xin Yun would not want her. Xin Yun's current actions were precisely to show his attitude and to tell her with his actions that he had already chosen her, and she was the only one he would marry.

Of course, Yi Luo Xiang was no fool. On the contrary, she was extremely smart. She understood Xin Yun's intentions, but that was precisely why she accepted the money eagerly. It wasn't only about the money; it represented Xin Yun's sincerity and determination!

Just after tucking away the money, Yi Luo Xiang had a thought and pulled out the gold notes again. She carefully selected four of them and handed them to Xin Yun, "You're a man; you can't be without money. Keep these for your personal expenses."

Hearing Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun broke into a sweet smile. This feeling was really special, giving him a sense of being a little married couple. On Earth, when a couple received their paychecks, a similar scene often unfolded.

Xin Yun wasn't worried that Yi Luo Xiang would run off with his money. Compared to Yi Luo Xiang, money meant nothing. Losing her would be an absolute failure for Xin Yun, even if he had the whole world without her.

Moreover, Yi Luo Xiang wasn't that kind of person. While Xin Yun might not care about money, Yi Luo Xiang cared even less. With her intelligence, she could earn however much she wished. Even with her abilities and beauty, marrying into a prominent family could bring her wealth a million times over.

The most important thing was that Xin Yun did not plan to ever part with Yi Luo Xiang in this lifetime. They would act together during the day and sleep together at night, so it really didn't matter who held the money.

Besides, why should a grown man bother with these things needlessly? It wasn't necessary. If women liked to count money, let them have their fun. Why should he deprive them of that? In any case... men just need to have the right to spend money.

Taking the four gold notes from Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun thought for a moment, then let out a laugh, pulled out one of the notes, and handed it to Ming Xuan, "Yi Luo Xiang is right; we're both men, and we can't be without money. Take this and buy something you like."

"What! No... I can't take this..." Ming Xuan was clearly frightened by the gold note Xin Yun handed him. It was a million Gold Coins—a colossal sum for him. Becoming a millionaire was one of his dreams.

Even though money wasn't the most important thing to Ming Xuan, his impoverished life taught him that while money couldn't do everything, life was incredibly difficult without it. For his mother to live well, money was essential.
