Chapter 65

【This is the third update today, book friends, please give more enthusiastic support! Ahahaha!】

On the bus to the company, Ye Feng closed his eyes and explored the range of his divine consciousness and soul perception.

Currently, Ye Feng has basically summarized some patterns: every time his cultivation improves by one level, the range of his divine consciousness and soul perception expands by about ten times. Now, his divine consciousness can sense everything within an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and his soul perception has also increased to the point where he can sense all souls within an area of more than 15,000 square meters.

Ye Feng can imagine that when his cultivation reaches a certain height in the future, he might be able to gather all the souls in the entire Mingzhu City just by staying at home.

Moreover, Ye Feng is not at all worried that the soul points will ever be completely collected, because in a city as large as Mingzhu, with a population of over ten million, people are born and die every day. As long as someone dies, corresponding soul energy is generated.

In other words, soul points are an endless resource that will never run out.

Arriving at the company, fetching water, signing the forms, and starting the new day's water delivery process, this feeling made Ye Feng very content. He really felt that he had chosen the right job. It was free and easy, and he could enjoy the scenery along the way. As he became more familiar with the areas, his work efficiency would greatly improve. Delivering a hundred or so buckets of water a day would be no problem, allowing him to earn money and soul points.

Feeling the storage ring on his hand, which ordinary people couldn't see, Ye Feng really wanted to try loading a large number of water buckets into it. But he thought that if others discovered this, he wouldn't be able to explain it no matter how many mouths he had, so he dismissed the idea. He would find a secluded place later to try it out without being noticed.

But just as he was riding the water delivery bike out of the company, he ran into two acquaintances: Gu Nian and her niece, Gu Wenrou.

Ye Feng's scalp tingled. He had a strange aversion to Gu Nian, not because he disliked her, but for some inexplicable reason. He just felt uncomfortable being around her for too long.

He wasn't sure if it was because of the unresolved issues after being fired from the construction site by Gu Nian.

Ye Feng didn't consider himself a narrow-minded person, so the unresolved issues shouldn't be the reason.

He also didn't feel particularly inferior, so even though Gu Nian's family was very wealthy and her father was a tycoon, this shouldn't be the reason for his aversion.

But why did he feel uneasy whenever he saw Gu Nian, as if there was an invisible aura around her that made him uncomfortable?

Despite his unease, Gu Nian felt the opposite.

Seeing Ye Feng, Gu Nian quickly pulled her niece, Xiao Rou, and the two of them blocked Ye Feng's bike, smiling at him.

"Good morning, Ye Feng!"

"Good morning, Uncle Ye!"

The aunt and niece greeted Ye Feng warmly, making him suppress his urge to speed away.

"Ye Feng, you know, I had nightmares all night and was extremely scared. If Xiao Rou hadn't been with me, I would have probably had a mental breakdown."

The little girl added, "That's right, Uncle Ye. Auntie was talking in her sleep all night, and her sweat soaked the sheets."

Ye Feng's face darkened. "Miss Gu, didn't you say you wouldn't force me to protect you anymore?"

"That's true, I did say that, but Xiao Rou insisted on seeing her savior, and you know her condition can't handle any stress. So I had to come with her. If you want to blame someone, blame Xiao Rou, but don't scold her loudly. She has such a good impression of you, and if you scold her, she'll be sad, and if she's sad, then... then..."

Gu Nian didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Ye Feng had to admire Gu Nian's cunning. She had pushed her cute niece, who had a strange acute heart condition and couldn't handle much stress, in front of him. If he were to harshly send them away, he would feel guilty.

Ye Feng forced a smile at the little girl and huffed at Gu Nian, "Miss Gu, as you can see, I need to go deliver water. I have to cover most of the Xia Hui district, and my bike can't carry both of you. So, I can't take you along, even if I wanted to. I have many customers waiting for their water, so I'll be on my way."

"Okay, okay, Ye Feng, take your time, don't go too fast."

Ye Feng was surprised. Was Gu Nian really letting him go?

Looking back, he saw Gu Nian's beautiful eyes blinking at him, then she walked to the bicycle parking area under the tree, pushed out a red electric scooter, and got on it with Xiao Rou.

After starting and accelerating, she quickly caught up with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng could only sigh. Gu Nian had clearly been prepared, having the electric scooter ready. It seemed she was determined to have him protect her.

On the way, Ye Feng had to listen to the aunt and niece chattering like two sparrows, which made him very curious. How could a five or six-year-old girl and a twenty-five or six-year-old woman have so much to talk about? How could they have so many gossip and entertainment topics to discuss?

What made Ye Feng even more awkward was that when he delivered water to two residential areas, the customers saw the two "followers" and joked with him, "Oh, the young couples these days are so affectionate. Young man, delivering water is hard work, but having such a beautiful and cute wife and child with you must make it sweet in your heart."

Ye Feng's face turned red with embarrassment. He wanted to explain, but the old people at home probably wouldn't listen to him, so he decided not to bother.

The morning passed like this. Due to the indirect interference of Gu Nian and Gu Wenrou, Ye Feng's water delivery efficiency was significantly reduced, and many customers even complained about the late delivery.

By noon, Ye Feng couldn't take it anymore and seriously told Gu Nian, "Miss Gu, you can't keep following me like this. It's really affecting my work. Since it's already like this in the morning, you should go home now. I need to speed up, and you won't be able to keep up."

Gu Nian looked troubled, "Ye Feng, I have no objections, but you should talk to Xiao Rou. She's having so much fun, and this child hasn't been this happy in a long time."

Ye Feng had to steel himself and go to Xiao Rou, "Xiao Rou, will you go home with your aunt now? Uncle Ye needs to speed up his work and can't take you along anymore."

Xiao Rou's lower lip trembled, her delicate eyebrows raised, and her eyes turned red, about to cry.

"Uncle Ye, don't you like Xiao Rou? Do you hate Xiao Rou?"

Seeing the little girl about to cry, Ye Feng's heart softened, and he quickly changed his tone, "How could I not like you? Uncle Ye really likes Xiao Rou. Okay, since you want to follow Uncle Ye, you can follow. It's almost noon, let's go eat first, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Rou's face lit up with joy, and she clapped her hands. She then jumped down, approached Ye Feng, and hugged his neck, giving him a kiss on the cheek. When Ye Feng wasn't paying attention, she raised her hand, forming a V with her index and middle fingers, and winked at her aunt, smiling even more.
