Chapter Four Hundred Twenty-Eight
The strange changes in the Emperor’s palace shocked everyone in the city. They personally witnessed people carrying large and small packages, taking countless treasures from within. There was even one cultivator who, after snatching a large amount of resources, ran out of the palace, tripped and fell, scattering Azure Origin Pills all over the ground, over a thousand of them.
For most cultivators, this was an enormous fortune. Each one was shaken by this. They did not know what exactly had happened in the palace! But they quickly found out!
“Lord Ice Emperor is dead!”
“A King-level youth came to rob the storehouse!”
“Lord Ice Emperor’s former subordinates are also robbing the storehouse!”
Each of these pieces of news stunned the people of the city, then drove them into frenzy. Ice Emperor’s palace was one of the wealthiest places in the entire city. If they could get a share of the pie, then…
Countless cultivators began rushing towards Ice Emperor’s palace, beginning to sweep through it. They were like locusts, snatching whatever they saw. Wherever they passed, it could truly be said that not a blade of grass remained.
This result was probably something Ye Chu had not expected. Of course, if Ye Chu had seen it, he would only clap his hands and sigh sorrowfully, “These people are too lacking in ambition, even digging up grass. Truly disgracing the face of robbers.”
Though the old man was a King, with so many cultivators frantically pouring in, he was completely powerless to stop them. In the end, he could only follow the crowd. After snatching some of the most precious things from the storehouse, he watched the entire palace being swept clean.
“Bastard…” The old man gnashed his teeth in hatred, only wanting to drag Ye Chu out and kill him thoroughly.
Of course, while he hated Ye Chu, there were also people who loved Ye Chu to death. Other cultivators who had swept through the palace all praised Ye Chu in their hearts. If not for Ye Chu starting it, who would have had such gains.
“What a good person! Please come rob more often in the future. Even drinking soup behind you would be fine.”
Some sighed that Ye Chu was a great benefactor. Of course, they also admired Ye Chu’s courage and strength. Who would dare to directly come and rob upon learning of Ice Emperor’s death.
The entire city’s day of frenzy only slowly quieted down. However, that magnificent palace now resembled a dilapidated, ruined temple, too shocking to behold. One could imagine what kind of ravaging it had undergone this day.
The old man saw the former royal palace become like this. He sighed, only feeling desolate.
…
Ye Chu’s speed was extremely fast. By the time he reached the location where Yang Hui and Yang Ning were, the time limit had just arrived. His aura weakened. Yang Hui saw Ye Chu fall straight over and was startled. She quickly stepped forward, reaching out to support Ye Chu. Ye Chu fell into the soft embrace, exceptionally comfortable, and could not help but rub against it.
Yang Hui’s charming face instantly flushed crimson. Her eyes looked at Ye Chu like water, carrying shyness. Ye Chu had just nudged against her chest several times. She could feel the pressure transmitted from there.
Looking at the alluring, soft, and fully bashful Yang Hui, Ye Chu became even more insatiable. He wrapped his arm around Yang Hui’s waist, pressing weakly against her.
Ye Jingyun saw Ye Chu shamelessly taking advantage of Yang Hui again. She shook her head, feeling helpless. She thought to herself that if it were her, she would have kicked him long ago. Only Yang Hui was so gentle and obedient, her temperament docile, going along with everything Ye Chu did.
…
Ye Jingyun forcibly snatched the jade bracelet from Ye Chu’s hand. Ye Chu was startled and wanted to stop her. But Ye Jingyun gave Ye Chu a radiant smile, her smile exceptionally charming, “You had better think clearly. Just now you were pretending to be weak and powerless, yet now you have the strength to fight me for things. That would be rather too obvious.”
“…” Ye Chu was stunned. He looked towards Yang Hui and saw Yang Hui blushing, covering her mouth and secretly laughing there.
“If I was just pretending just now, you would not blame me, right?” Ye Chu blinked his eyes, staring at Yang Hui.
“Ah…” Yang Hui saw Ye Chu staring straight at her. She only felt her face burning terribly. The young master is so bad, how can he ask like that? Even if you were pretending, you cannot say it out loud.
Looking at Yang Hui’s appearance, Ye Chu said helplessly, “Fine, just now I was not pretending!”
Ye Chu thought to himself that Yang Hui’s face was still too thin. If it were him, he would definitely stand up firmly and kick Ye Jingyun with his foot, not letting her snatch the jade bracelet.
Ye Jingyun successfully snatched the jade bracelet back. After merging her mind into it, those lively, alluring eyes of hers opened wide, “This… this is all what you robbed?”
Inside were Azure Origin Pills piled into a small mountain, probably tens of thousands of them. There were also jade boxes one after another. Though Ye Jingyun had not checked all of them, one jade box alone made her breathing quicken. Inside was actually a whole box of rather decent grade Profound Stones.
Ye Chu laughed, staring at Ye Jingyun and saying, “After all, it was an Emperor. There are still quite a few good things.”
Yang Hui and Yang Ning likewise took the jade bracelet to examine. Looking at the mountain of supplies piled within, they were likewise excited. With so many cultivation resources, it would not take long before they could reach upper-grade Profound Life Realm, and then assault the King realm.
“Help me take a look, what is this thing?” Ye Chu suddenly thought of the few pills he had taken at the end. He took out a jade box from his bosom, handed it to Ye Jingyun and said.
Ye Jingyun was puzzled, not knowing what thing Ye Chu would actually carry on his person.
However, when she opened the jade box and saw those few pitch-black pills, she and Yang Hui and the others froze on the spot, staring blankly at the pills before them, their expressions excited, “They… they are Advancement Pills!”
The three women all sucked in a cold breath of air. Looking at the few pills, passionate light surged forth in their eyes.
“This is also something from the Emperor’s storehouse?” Ye Jingyun took a deep breath, only feeling her breathing quicken.
“What thing could actually excite even you so much?” Ye Chu asked curiously.
“Below King level, consuming one pill allows advancing one level. Whether you are upper-grade Profound Life Realm or lower-grade, as long as you consume it, your strength instantly increases by one layer. Do you say it is a treasure?” Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu and said lightly.
“What?” Ye Chu was also shaken. This was indeed an extraordinary thing. One layer was not difficult to cultivate, yet saying it was not difficult was also difficult. With Ye Chu’s talent, if there were no cultivation resources, it would take at least two or three years to advance. And this one small pill could save him two or three years of cultivation effort.
And most importantly, it was indiscriminate advancement. Even upper-grade could advance one level. Did that not mean eighth layer could directly reach ninth layer? The higher one went, the harder cultivation became. The value of advancing one layer need not be said.
“Good stuff!” Ye Chu’s eyes also lit up. He thought that with several of these, could he not advance several layers.
“However, one can only consume one of these Advancement Pills. Consuming a second one is useless.” Ye Jingyun’s next sentence completely extinguished Ye Chu’s notion.
