That battle spread throughout the entire Four Directions Valley and caused the valley to tremble with shock. The appearance of a single king realm expert was already enough to shake the Four Directions Valley. Yet this time three more had appeared. It sparked endless discussions across the Four Directions Valley.
Of course every conversation centred on Ye Chu and Ruo Shui. Their overwhelming strength left everyone stunned. The Blood Wither King was powerful too, but he had long enjoyed a formidable reputation.
These two unknowns, however, were different. One could fight the Blood Wither King evenly without falling behind. The other could actually gain the upper hand against two giants. This was enough to set every nerve in the Four Directions Valley on edge.
The reputations of the two giants from the Four Directions Valley suffered greatly in this battle. In the eyes of the people they were no longer invincible. Fortunately the pair had managed to seize some treasures from the Blood Wither King at the end, which salvaged a little of their standing.
The Blood Wither King was forced to retreat by the two of them and could no longer remain in the Four Directions Valley. He led his disciples away in a sorry state and left the valley.
Yet right after he departed, the Fire Xin King and the Four Directions King gathered all their subordinates and issued an order. No one knew what the order was, but the Four Directions Valley suddenly grew noisy. These people spread out everywhere, searching for something.
……
Ye Chu and Ruo Shui knew nothing of this. They had carefully peeled open the interlayer of the cultivation manual. Just as the other party had said, a map lay inside.
Ruo Shui held the map and examined it for a moment, but she was not very familiar with the empire and could see nothing useful.
Take a look. Can you find where this map points to? Ruo Shui passed the map to Ye Chu and said. If we can locate the origin spirit true source of the sha spirit cultivator it will bring you enormous benefits. An emperor realm expert is already terrifyingly strong and has travelled extremely far along the path of cultivation. His mastery over origin spirits has reached an extraordinary level.
Since an emperor is buried there, he may have left behind treasures. If any of his own cultivation techniques remain, then the sha spirit cultivator manual we hold now will be nothing in comparison.
Ye Chu nodded, took the map from the interlayer, and studied it carefully. His expression suddenly turned strange.
What is the matter? Ruo Shui asked curiously.
This place seems to be in the Yao Kingdom, not far from Yao City. Ye Chu pointed at the map. He knew little about other regions, but after causing chaos in Yao City for so many years he knew the city and its surroundings very well.
Yao City? Ruo Shui paused, then nodded. Although Yao City was remote, legends about it had existed in the past. It would not be strange for an emperor realm expert to have appeared or even been buried there.
Whether it is or not, let us go and see. Ruo Shui said to Ye Chu. Can you stand up now?
It should be fine. After resting so long I have recovered quite a bit. Ye Chu nodded and stood. But the moment he rose his legs went soft. He lurched forward and threw himself straight at Ruo Shui.
Seeing this, Ruo Shui flashed aside at once to avoid him. Ye Chu, startled, grabbed frantically with his hand. He missed Ruo Shui but caught her skirt instead.
Rip……
Ruo Shui wore a one piece dress. With that single tug from Ye Chu it tore open instantly. He pulled the entire garment off her body and it ripped into pieces. Ye Chu staggered and his head slammed hard into the ground with a loud thud.
Ouch! Ye Chu cried out in pain and looked at Ruo Shui with complaint. Why did you dodge?
Ruo Shui saw him complaining and almost ground her teeth. Only then did Ye Chu notice that all her outer clothes had been torn away by him. Although a thin undergarment still covered her chest, the flesh tone showed faintly through. Her full, upright breasts stood out completely and Ye Chu could even see the two pink points protruding.
Ye Chu stared, wanting to swallow hard. He gazed blankly at Ruo Shui. At this moment she wore only the chest wrap and the thin undergarments below, nothing else.
Her skin was pink, tender and delicate, as though it could break at a touch. Her exquisitely beautiful face was now faintly red with an inexplicable shyness. It was utterly different from her previous goddess like beauty, yet it carried a seductive charm that bewitched in countless ways.
Ye Chus eyes lingered on Ruo Shuis body, on those snow white long legs and her nearly uncovered form. It almost made his nose bleed. He even felt his own body reacting at that moment.
The Ruo Shui of before had always seemed like an untouchable immortal fairy. But right now she looked more like an extremely seductive woman, standing truly before him. The charm of this instant made Ye Chus blood boil as if it would burn.
Close your eyes! Ruo Shui could no longer stay calm. She slapped out with her palm and sent Ye Chu flying. He smashed into a tree, the pain intense.
After knocking Ye Chu away, Ruo Shui took out a set of clothes, put them on, and covered herself. Her expression turned cold as ice while she stared at him, killing intent surging in her eyes.
Ye Chu saw her like this and his heart skipped with alarm. He knew how terrifying this woman was. Killing him was entirely possible.
Accident. It was really an accident! Ye Chu explained quickly. I thought I had recovered, but I did not expect to still be so weak. My legs went soft when I stood and I grabbed at you by reflex.
This womans face was icy cold. She had never met with such a thing before and was probably furious now.
Ruo Shui stared fixedly at Ye Chu with an ice cold expression and a layer of aloof pride. She looked at him without any emotion.
With a woman like this Ye Chu did not even dream of conquering her. It was far too difficult. Getting through this moment safely would already be good enough.
Ruo Shui took a deep breath, glanced at the bruised and swollen spot on Ye Chus forehead where he had hit the ground, and only then restrained her killing intent. She looked at him once and said, We leave tomorrow.
With that she ignored him, turned around, and stood with her back to him.
Ye Chu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing his life was safe. He felt rather lucky and thought he had been clever to smash his head against the ground on purpose. Otherwise today would have been troublesome.
Yet when Ye Chu had done it he had not expected such a sight. At the time he had only hoped that with his legs giving way he might fall into her arms. That would have been fine.
In that case Ruo Shui definitely would not have reacted this way. Who could have guessed she would dodge and that he would somehow reach out and grab her clothes by chance.
Thinking back to that peerless beautiful body, Ye Chu found it hard to calm down.
Although I took a slap, it was not entirely without value.
Ye Chu glanced at Ruo Shuis back and thought her heart must also be unsettled right now. Such a beauty, so cold and elegant. Who would dare to profane her or even take advantage of her? Anyone who tried would probably be killed by her.
Ye Chu did not think he held any special place in her heart. He believed that if he had not saved her before, if he did not possess the supreme will, and if the scene just now had not looked so convincingly like an accident, he would already be dead.
