Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Can I sleep? Of course not.

If I could still sleep, Su Chen wouldn't be a man.

Lying next to him is a delicate beauty, who is also his wife in the eyes of the law.

But there's a pretty girl next door waiting for him.

Su Chen isn't a fool.

Doesn't he know what's on Huo Mei's mind?

She said she wanted him to verify the authenticity of the Hanfu.

Actually, she probably wanted him to check out her body as well.

Then there's the pure girl Ado, Big Landlord...

Each one of them is a top beauty.

This is bound to be a long night.

And that's not even the worst part.

As mentioned before, the lowest level of the Zhuang Clan's houses are used to keep livestock.

Baa... Baa... Baa Baa Baa...

Then, strange noises occasionally drift up from below.

Huo Mei's room.

Huo Mei, somewhat frustrated, took off the "Hanfu" and muttered to herself, "This guy, really a coward..."

Looks like she'll have to sleep alone tonight.

It has to be said, the customs of the Zhuang Clan are really torturous.

A married woman actually needs to return to her parental home to live.

Having just tasted the forbidden fruit, that feeling is absolutely maddening.

Only after getting pregnant is she allowed to live at her husband's house.

But once you're really pregnant, you can't just do it randomly anymore.

Ah, it's so troubling.

Over there, Su Chen is still snoring away in sleep.

But Lin Xi can't sleep at all.

Su Chen's snoring, the cries of livestock from below, the sounds of spring... continue to torment her nerves.

Lin Xi got out of the blankets.

Planning to go out for some air.

Wearing a coat, she stepped out of the wooden house.

The night was very peaceful, with a sky full of stars, the fresh air mingled with the fragrance of the earth...

Everything made it feel comfortable.

Lin Xi had been out for a while, then Su Chen also came out with a cigarette in his mouth.

He hadn't really slept at all.

"How is it, wife, can't sleep?" Su Chen said with a grin.

Lin Xi gave him a glance, that was obvious.

"I can't sleep either." Su Chen lit his cigarette and took a nice long drag.

At the villa, Lin Xi wouldn't let him smoke, but here, it didn't matter; the smell of the cigarette would quickly dissipate into nothingness.

Lin Xi snorted lightly, "You can't sleep? If you think sleeping with me is boring, you can go to Huo Mei's room or Ado's room to sleep, I see they are quite interested in you!"

Thinking of Ado washing Su Chen's feet made Lin Xi furious.

That's her husband, why should they wash his feet?

But if you ask her, this lofty goddess CEO to wash Su Chen's feet, that would absolutely be impossible.

It would more likely be Su Chen washing her feet!

"Cough cough, wife, I was trying to gather information for you," Su Chen's face twitched with discomfort, somewhat distressed.

This Zhuang family's girl, she's also quite enthusiastic.

But the Big Landlord doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in him.

"Oh, then you should tell me, what information did you find out?" Lin Xi asked, curling her lips.

"Cough cough, wife, I did find out some useful information." Su Chen suddenly became very serious and said, "Wife, do you know why the Big Landlord turned hostile as soon as he heard you were here for the dyeing techniques?"

Lin Xi shook her head; of course, she didn't know. It would be great if she did.

"It's like this, there were others who came to this village wanting to learn the Zhuang Clan's dyeing techniques. At that time, many people in the Zhuang family knew these dyeing techniques, and they were also enthusiastic about sharing it. However..."

"However, after those people learned the dyeing techniques, to prevent others from acquiring this technique, they lured the skillful Zhuang family members out of the mountains with high salaries, and then, those people never returned..."

"So, now, only the Big Landlord's family still masters that technique, but the Big Landlord has sworn never to teach the dyeing techniques to anyone again."

Lin Xi finally understood why the Big Landlord showed such hostility after knowing her intentions.

"So, someone else got hold of the dyeing techniques before us?" Lin Xi's pretty eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes and no," Su Chen answered.

"What do you mean?"

"Those people did acquire the dyeing techniques, but it wasn't complete—they didn't learn a crucial step. Therefore, although the fabric they make is vivid and does not fade, it's slightly toxic. The crucial step is in the hands of the Big Landlord; they were too impatient," Su Chen explained with a smile.

Hope resurfaced in Lin Xi's eyes, mixed with strong anger, "Who could it be, so wicked to harm the simple Zhuang family people?"

"That, I believe Director Lin should be clearer than me."

Lin Xi frowned slightly, she was clearer?

Suddenly, her eyes widened, "You mean… Yimei Group?"

Yimena, only one character different from Yimei.

In fact, Yimei was originally a company wanting to ride on the popularity of Yimena.

Uploaded by the M|V|L(EMPYR) team.

Taking a name similar to Yimena was meant to confuse the public.

A few years ago, Yimei was merely a knock-off company.

All their clothing styles were pirated from Yimena, then slightly altered and sold.

Initially, Yimena didn't care about this small fish, as many companies pirated Yimena's designs.

However, two to three years ago, Yimei suddenly rose, seemingly having obtained a very special dyeing technique.

Within just a year or two, Yimei rose to become a top clothing company, not inferior to Yimena.

Now, their market share can nearly compete with Yimena.

Becoming Yimena's biggest competitor.

And their company name also changed, to Yiyang Group.

"So it was them!" Lin Xi's face darkened.

The ant that she could have easily crushed back then has now grown to be Yimena's biggest competitor.

If the other party had obtained it through proper means, she would have accepted it, but she didn't expect them to be so vicious.

To monopolize the technology, they tricked all the Zhuang family members who knew the dyeing techniques out of the mountains.

And they did it well, making it look like a traffic accident.

The Zhuang family suffered a big loss, with no place to seek justice.

Since then, only the Big Landlord's family continued dyeing techniques, and everyone else stopped learning.

Because they felt that it was this technology that brought such disaster to the Zhuang family.

Considering this, it's no wonder that the Big Landlord harbors hostility towards Lin Xi with the same aim.

Actually, that they didn't kick Lin Xi out of the Zhuang family with a stick is already quite good.

Knowing this outcome, Lin Xi's confidence was instantly shattered.

Although it wasn't Yimena that did it, being in the same industry after all.

Winning the trust of the Zhuang family seemed almost impossible now...
