These people were exactly the ones who came out of the city lord’s mansion. Naturally they recognised whose jade pendant this was. Thinking of their city lord’s miserable death and looking at the few young men and girls staring at them, their bodies could not help but tremble. The hand holding the jade pendant shook violently.
Ye Chu had no interest in arguing with them. He left side by side with the three women. When the three saw Ye Chu walking toward them, they quickly made way. Their faces were deathly pale.
This scene left the other guests in the inn puzzled and confused. They thought these people had always been overbearing. When had they become so timid and cowardly?
Only after Ye Chu and the others left did these people finally breathe a sigh of relief. Their legs gave way and they collapsed to the ground. They had personally witnessed the tragic scene in the canyon. The one who took Black King’s jade pendant had clearly killed Black King. Since even Black King died so miserably, with their meagre strength going to cause trouble for these people would be no different from seeking death.
…
The news that Black King had been killed by a few young people soon spread throughout the entire city. Everyone was shocked by this news. Many felt fear in their hearts. Those who had seen the beauty of Ji Die, Ye Jing Yun and the others secretly felt fortunate they had not gone to harass them back then. Otherwise right now they would not even know how they died.
While the city was in an uproar, Ye Chu, Ji Die and the others had already left. Of course because of the city lord’s death, the city had also gone mad. People began to frantically divide up the city’s resources.
…
Ye Chu and his group left the city and continued forward. Ye Chu had originally thought that once Ji Die’s injuries recovered she would part ways with them. But what surprised Ye Chu was that Ji Die showed no intention of leaving at all.
“You are not leaving?” Ye Chu finally could not hold back and asked Ji Die.
“Why should I leave?” Ji Die looked at Ye Chu with confusion.
“I feel that there are too many demons and monsters along this road. It is not safe for you to follow us.” Ye Chu said to Ji Die very seriously.
“I just want to see what these demons and monsters are like!” Ji Die said to Ye Chu.
Ye Chu patted his forehead and continued speaking to Ji Die. “Fine. You are not afraid of demons and monsters. But following me might make you lose your chastity!”
To make Ji Die leave, Ye Chu did not hesitate to belittle himself.
“What is chastity? Can it be eaten?” Ji Die still remained unmoved.
Ye Chu stared at Ji Die with wide eyes. He could not believe these words came from Ji Die. This woman’s level of thinking had actually reached the same height as his. This was too shocking. Ye Chu had always thought only he in this world had such thoughts. He never expected Ji Die to have this kind of awareness too.
Seeing Ji Die staring at him, Ye Chu shrank his neck and said, “I do not know if chastity can be eaten either. But in the past I have sold it by the pound to others.”
Ye Chu felt a headache. He wondered how he could trick this woman into leaving. Every time he saw Ji Die he would think of his failure back then. For a man this was far too humiliating!
How could a man not be able?
How could he not be able?
Ye Chu took a deep breath. He felt it was necessary to trick Ji Die away. Ji Die was one of the two women he least wanted to face.
“To tell you the truth! Actually I have a disease!” Ye Chu looked at Ji Die very seriously.
“I do not mind!” Ji Die still ignored Ye Chu.
“Hey! Shouldn’t you at least ask what disease I have?” Ye Chu stared at Ji Die very seriously. He thought this woman was too uncooperative. If she did not cooperate how could he continue to trick her?
“What does that have to do with me?” Ji Die stared at Ye Chu with confusion.
The words stuck in Ye Chu’s throat. He swallowed them back down. He took a deep breath and gave up the idea of tricking Ji Die. This woman clearly would not be moved by soft or hard tactics. He could do nothing to her.
Tan Miao Tong looked at Ye Jing Yun with confusion. “Why does Ye Chu not want Ji Die to travel with us?”
Ye Jing Yun almost could not hold back her laughter. Back then Ye Chu had dared to do such a thing. Yet now he did not dare face Ji Die. Was this not an interesting matter?
Ye Jing Yun roughly guessed Ye Chu’s thoughts. Because what happened back then was too humiliating. He tricked Ji Die into drinking those drugs but still could not do anything to her. Instead he was kicked off the bed by Ji Die. It was said he ended up with a bruised and swollen face. After falling he could not even crawl back up.
To force himself to such a point— just imagining it made people want to laugh.
“You remember what I told you?” Ye Jing Yun said to Tan Miao Tong.
“What you said was not true, right? Ye Chu really tried to take advantage of Ji Die back then?” Tan Miao Tong stared wide-eyed. She had always thought Ye Jing Yun was slandering Ye Chu. But looking at Ye Chu’s behaviour now it seemed to be true.
“Ye Chu dared to take advantage of Ji Die?” Tan Miao Tong almost could not help laughing. She had also heard of Ji Die’s identity. Was Ye Chu not just asking for a beating? Ye Chu was quite a smart person. How could he do such a foolish thing?
“Back then Ye Chu was extremely arrogant and reckless. Do you think everything I said about him was fake?” Ye Jing Yun rolled her eyes. She thought this innocent girl really believed Ye Chu was a good person. Had she not heard of Ye Chu’s reputation in Yao City? Yet she still found Ye Chu interesting.
“You should stay far away from Ye Chu. Otherwise he might try to take advantage of you too!” After Ye Jing Yun finished speaking she giggled.
“He would not!” Tan Miao Tong shook her head. “Maybe Ye Chu was just joking with Ji Die back then. Otherwise how did Ji Die escape unharmed?”
“…”
Ye Jing Yun felt Tan Miao Tong had gone mad. She had been brainwashed by Ye Chu. She actually still believed Ye Chu was a good person.
But thinking about Ye Chu’s behaviour during this period it was no wonder Tan Miao Tong felt this way. If Ye Jing Yun did not know Ye Chu’s true nature she might have been fooled by him too.
Especially since someone as smart as Qing Wen Ting was so close to Ye Chu. Ye Jing Yun felt Ye Chu’s level of deception was simply too high.
Ye Chu naturally did not know what Tan Miao Tong and Ye Jing Yun were talking about. Seeing that he could not trick Ji Die away he looked at Ji Die and said, “Remember our deal. Do not bring up that matter again!”
Ji Die stared straight at Ye Chu. Only after Ye Chu felt his scalp go numb did she turn her head and walk forward without looking at Ye Chu again.
…
Ye Chu did not know what this woman meant. He could only continue forward with Tan Miao Tong and the others. He did not get too close to Ji Die. Along the way he studied his own martial techniques.
On this journey Ye Chu did not encounter any trouble. He also did not see Shang Guan Min Da and his group. Ye Chu thought Shang Guan Min Da probably died in the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground.
When he thought about it this was very possible. The Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground was too terrifying. It would be strange if he did not die.
Ye Chu actually felt relieved by this. If that guy was dead it would save him one less problem. They could travel peacefully.
The place Tan Miao Tong wanted to go was about a thousand li away from here. Neither too close nor too far. With beauties accompanying him along the way Ye Chu did not feel bored at all. Especially after he let go of what happened back then and stopped taking Ji Die to heart. Ye Chu felt life was still quite wonderful.
