Tan Miaotang saw the green lotus on Ye Chu’s forehead trembling incessantly, and laughed so hard she was all aflutter. Teasing Ye Chu to this extent, she found it quite amusing.
“Hey. I’ll tell you something you’re very interested in. Want to hear it?” Bai Qingqing looked at Ye Chu with a smile.
“What?” Ye Chu moved a little further from Bai Qingqing. This woman possessed an inherently seductive bone structure. Every move she made stirred the soul. Ye Chu felt he needed to keep his distance. If not for the green lotus keeping him clear-headed at this moment, who knew what great embarrassment might have occurred.
“I know where a certain type of baleful qi is located. Do you want it or not?”
In one sentence, Ye Chu’s eyes went straight. He stared fixedly at Bai Qingqing. “Where?”
Bai Qingqing stretched lazily. Her curvaceous figure was fully exposed at this moment, making Ye Chu’s eyes go straight again.
Seeing Ye Chu’s expression, a smile appeared on Bai Qingqing’s face. She thought to herself, “I refuse to believe I cannot surpass Bai Qingqing.”
“In Dragon City, there is a city guardian treasure called the Dragon Token. If you obtain it, you will know where this baleful qi is located.”
“Dragon Token? What is that?” Ye Chu frowned, looking at Bai Qingqing in puzzlement.
“That is your concern. I can only tell you this much. Alright, I am tired.” With that, Bai Qingqing transformed into a white fox, landing in Ye Chu’s embrace. She fell asleep in Ye Chu’s arms just like that.
“Hey!” Ye Chu shook the white fox vigorously, but no matter how hard he tried, the fox would not wake. In the end, Ye Chu could only give up.
…
Through Ye Chu’s inquiries, he finally learned where Dragon City was located. It was six or seven days’ journey from here. Knowing where Dragon City was, Ye Chu’s mind became active.
Baleful qi was undoubtedly a great tonic for him. Moreover, after becoming a baleful spirit practitioner, he had gained new understanding of baleful qi.
Previously, absorbing baleful qi had been like swallowing dates whole. After becoming a baleful spirit practitioner, he could bring the effects of baleful qi to their utmost extreme.
Although at present Ye Chu could also rely on baleful spirit techniques to enhance his combat power somewhat, he himself was also a formidable cultivator. The help baleful spirit techniques could provide was limited. But if he could obtain a type of baleful qi he could wield himself, that would be different.
This was evident from the Seven-Coloured Patterned Spider. When he had the Seven-Coloured Patterned Spider back then, his combat power had been considerably stronger. It was a pity that he had not known how to utilise it at the time, and let it dissipate.
Thinking of this, Ye Chu could not help but feel pain in his heart. The Seven-Coloured Patterned Spider was absolutely terrifying baleful qi, ranked very highly.
“If there truly is baleful qi, I must obtain it no matter what!” Ye Chu made up his mind.
Ye Jingyun was the first to learn of Ye Chu’s intentions. Naturally, the troublemaker Ye Jingyun who feared nothing in the world wanted to follow Ye Chu to see for herself.
Yang Hui also wanted to follow Ye Chu, but Ye Chu thought of the newly established Imperial Palace. Tan Miaotang was also unsuited to following him to a baleful qi location, so he had Yang Hui and Tan Miaotang remain here.
Here, Ye Chu did not need to worry about their safety. Moreover, they could help Xiang Chunan and the others manage the Imperial Palace well. This killed two birds with one stone.
…
After leaving Yang Hui and Tan Miaotang at Xia Mountain, Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun set off towards Dragon City.
Along the way, quite a number of people saw Ye Jingyun and harboured designs on her. However, those with lustful thoughts were all sent flying by Ye Jingyun’s pair of sexy, alluring legs.
Watching Ye Jingyun’s ruthless and swift strikes, Ye Chu could not help but draw a sharp breath and silently mourn for these men.
“When did you become so hypocritical?” Ye Jingyun saw Ye Chu praying for another man she had kicked flying, and could not help but look at him with disdain.
Ye Chu sighed and said, “It is not some heinous crime for a man to be lustful. Seeing that they cannot harm women for the rest of their lives, what is the harm in mourning them a few words?”
“A man being lustful is not a heinous crime?” Ye Jingyun stared at Ye Chu with wide eyes. “Then what do you think is a heinous crime?”
“Of course, it is a heinous crime to leave a delicate, beautiful woman unharmed.” Ye Chu said as if it were only natural.
“Shut your mouth!” Ye Jingyun glared at Ye Chu, sending a kick flying towards Ye Chu’s crotch, with the clear intention of crippling him too. “It is because of scoundrels like you that the world has become so dark!”
Ye Chu dodged this swift kick with a chill running down his back. “Crazy woman, are you sick? If a man is not lustful, is he still a man?”
“I have hated men who judge by appearances all my life!” Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu hatefully. “You are one of them!”
“A man liking a woman, regardless of the reason. Beauty, temperament, inner quality… whichever of these attracts him, and he likes her and cannot help himself, that is true liking. What does it matter what reason he likes you for? According to your understanding, a man must like a woman who is terribly ugly for it to count as true liking, right?”
Ye Jingyun was stunned. She had not expected Ye Chu to say such a thing. She fell silent for a while. After a long time, she finally cursed in a low voice, “Twisted reasoning!”
With that, she turned her head and ignored Ye Chu. She strode into the city ahead.
Ye Chu looked at the several large characters above the city gate, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. After walking for several days, they had finally arrived at Dragon City.
“Make way! Make way!”
Just as Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun had entered the city not long after, urgent shouts rang out. From outside the city gate, a large contingent of men and horses was escorting a carriage slowly into the city. The guards were driving the crowd on the main street to clear a path.
“The Ma family’s second young master has returned!”
“It is rumoured that the Ma family’s second young master went out this time to enter closed-door cultivation, aiming to break through to the Sovereign realm. Returning at this time, could he have broken through?”
“He must have broken through. Otherwise, how could he have returned just now?”
“Tsk tsk, the Ma family truly lives up to being one of Dragon City’s four great families. The Ma family’s eldest young master stepped into the Sovereign realm two years ago. The second young master has actually also stepped into the Sovereign realm.”
“This time, in the contest for the position of head among the four great families, perhaps the Ma family can succeed!”
“Hard to say. The heirs of the other three great families are also extremely formidable.”
“…”
Everyone looked at that carriage, each one discussing excitedly. Clearly, they held the figure inside the carriage in great awe.
Praise was unceasing. Every person stared fixedly at the carriage. Especially those young maidens, who gazed at it even more adoringly.
“The Ma family truly possesses great influence!” Ye Chu was surprised to hear the discussions in the city. The Ma family actually controlled quite a few refined ore mines. The Sovereigns and Kings nurtured within the family numbered over a hundred.
Such a great power was far stronger than the Seven Emperor Gates.
Listening to the discussions beside her, then looking at the carriage, Ye Jingyun suddenly laughed. She patted her shoulder and said to Ye Chu, “Ye Chu, how about we play a game?”
“Hmm?” Ye Chu looked at Ye Jingyun in puzzlement, not knowing what this woman was talking about.
But very quickly, Ye Chu’s eyes went wide. He stared blankly at this woman’s actions before him. Ye Chu could not help but curse loudly, “Damn!”
This woman, was she trying to get someone killed?
