“What does ‘yes and no’ mean?” Yang Ning asked Ye Chu, her beautiful water-like eyes fixed directly on him, rippling with light. Combined with her gorgeous face, it was utterly captivating.
“I carry a Supreme Will within me, which lets me comprehend secret techniques left behind by a Supreme. But I am not the successor chosen by the Supreme,” Ye Chu answered. “If I can comprehend the secret techniques left behind by a Supreme, that makes me half his disciple. That’s why I said ‘yes and no’.”
Hearing Ye Chu’s explanation, Yang Ning and Ye Jingyun finally understood. At the same time, Ye Jingyun asked curiously, “The reason you often cry your eyes out sometimes is because of the Supreme Will?”
Hearing Ye Jingyun’s words, Ye Chu gritted his teeth and glared at her angrily. “Please watch your words. This young master was not crying, I was merely lost due to being infected by the Supreme Will.”
Ye Chu wished he could slap this woman twice. How could she describe him as crying his eyes out.
“Crying is crying, do you think I can’t even tell the difference between crying and laughing?” Ye Jingyun curled her lip in disdain, staring at Ye Chu with contempt as she spoke. “If you are not a Supreme’s inheritor, then who is your master? Don’t tell me you have no master?”
Ye Chu shrugged his shoulders and did not tell Ye Jingyun. Wuxin Peak was not something Ye Jingyun would necessarily know about, and as for Old Madman, Ye Jingyun probably knew even less. If he said it out loud, he wouldn’t know how to explain it, so he might as well not say anything at all.
Seeing Ye Chu not answering, Ye Jingyun muttered in dissatisfaction, “So mysterious, as if I even want to know!”
When Yang Ning and Yang Hui heard Ye Chu say he was not a Supreme’s inheritor, their expressions darkened somewhat, though this darkness vanished in a flash. Had Ye Chu not been staring at the gorgeous faces of these two women, he would have barely noticed it.
“What are they gloomy about?” Ye Chu wondered inwardly, though he did not ask too much about it.
“Where do we go next?” Ye Jingyun asked Ye Chu.
“First, go get a good sleep!” These past few days, Ye Chu had been busy with cultivation, and at the same time worried that Bai Xin and Bai Rou would track them down and find them. They had been sleeping in deep mountains and old forests at night, and had not had a proper sleep.
Now that they had left the deep mountains and could see a city ahead, Ye Chu stopped worrying about Bai Xin and Bai Rou. The distance from here to that imperial city was considerable, and the people Bai Xin and Bai Rou had sent to hunt them down probably had not infiltrated this area.
Ye Jingyun naturally would not refuse this tempting decision either. These days in the deep mountains and old forests, she also felt unclean. As a woman, she very much wanted to soak in a hot bath.
Even though Ye Chu did not think Bai Xin and Bai Rou’s reach extended here, he was still afraid of the off chance. When entering the city, he kept a low profile, using a bamboo hat to cover his face.
Bai Xin and Bai Rou’s influence in this area was too great, and he had robbed the imperial treasury. She probably hated him down to the bone. It was best to avoid direct confrontation with them if possible.
Ye Jingyun was still the same as always. Regardless of Ye Chu’s objection, she went straight into Ye Chu’s room, as if she only felt safe when she was with him.
Ye Jingyun occupied the magpie’s nest, and the moment she entered, she went straight to the bathroom to bathe. Ye Chu had no choice but to wait for Ye Jingyun to finish.
Ye Jingyun really had no sense of propriety between men and women. After bathing, she walked out, using a towel to dry her wet hair. She was wearing nothing but a loose nightgown, and while drying her wet hair, the loose nightgown was lifted up a small section. Ye Chu could see Ye Jingyun’s close-fitting small undergarments, and could even see the curved outline down there. Her two long, fair legs were displayed before Ye Chu without any obstruction, making Ye Chu’s blood feel as if it were about to burn, his nose about to bleed…
“Damn it! Can you pay a little attention? Do you think this young master is a eunuch in the palace?” Ye Chu was somewhat exasperated. This woman was too provocative. If it were any other woman, he would have pounced on her, but facing Ye Jingyun, Ye Chu did not dare. She had a supreme treasure on her. If he truly angered this woman and she cut down there, Ye Chu would have nowhere to cry.
Ye Jingyun tossed aside the towel she had been using to dry her hair, glanced at the area between Ye Chu’s legs, saw the bulge there, and said with utter contempt, “This is for your own good, to temper your willpower so you don’t pounce on a woman the moment you see one. Lust is a blade above one’s head, I’m afraid you’ll be devoured by a woman without even realising it.”
Ye Jingyun completely ignored Ye Chu’s glare, sat down, her round buttocks pressed into an alluring curve. When she saw Ye Chu looking at her, she pressed down on her nightgown with her hand, grabbed a pillow, and threw it directly at Ye Chu. “Retract those lecherous eyes of yours!”
“If you don’t want to be looked at, then go sleep in another room!” Ye Chu stared at Ye Jingyun. She was wearing a nightgown, the fabric somewhat transparent, and he could faintly see the perky twin peaks within. She was going commando underneath, and Ye Chu could even see two spots of crimson.
Ye Jingyun had just finished bathing, her entire skin tender and dewy, so delicate it seemed it would break with a puff of air, with a faint layer of pink. Combined with those long, beautiful legs, it challenged every one of Ye Chu’s nerves.
This was naturally a wonderful sight, but Ye Chu was afraid he wouldn’t be able to hold himself back. He did not want this woman staying with him.
Ye Jingyun tugged at her clothes, as if trying to block Ye Chu’s line of sight, but sitting there as she was, the red undergarments between her legs could not be concealed at all, fully wrapping around that plump mound.
Seeing Ye Chu’s expression of nearly spurting blood from his nose, Ye Jingyun’s face also flushed somewhat red. She dragged over the quilt beside her, covering the exposed areas, and said to Ye Chu with great disdain, “If I didn’t sleep here, I’m afraid you’d pull Yang Hui and Yang Ning in to sleep with you.”
“…”
“Hurry up and go take a bath!” Ye Jingyun had slept with Ye Chu who knew how many times. Although she had exposed herself somewhat, she did not care too much. It was just that seeing Ye Chu still covered in dust and grime, she scolded him into going to bathe.
Watching Ye Jingyun sitting at the head of the bed, her two big white legs swinging there, Ye Chu took a deep breath and practically fled into the bathroom as if running for his life.
Seeing Ye Chu leave, the flush on Ye Jingyun’s face grew a shade deeper. Although she did not have too many thoughts about it, and was used to being with Ye Chu, having just been seen by Ye Chu in the private area between her legs, she still felt somewhat shy.
“So useless, only knowing how to stare at a woman’s place.” Ye Jingyun cursed in a low voice, truly unable to understand how a fellow like this could possess the talent of a prodigy.
Seeing Ye Chu come out of the bath also wearing a set of pyjamas, his figure was not as thin as she had imagined, but rather had a few lines of beauty to it. Ye Jingyun saw this and could not help but laugh, “Didn’t expect you to have a few catties of meat! Not a bad figure!”
Ye Chu rolled his eyes, directly ignoring this woman. Seeing Ye Jingyun about to occupy his bed again, Ye Chu did not care anymore and directly climbed up as well.
Sitting close to Ye Jingyun, his leg inevitably pressed against hers. Ye Chu could feel the astonishing smoothness coming from it, a slightly cool sensation transmitted over, which was rather pleasantly cool.
Ye Jingyun did not mind this, turning her head to look at Ye Chu as she said, “We’ve been in Weiyang Province for so long now, are you interested in going deeper in? To see the sects and great clans of Weiyang Province!”
