“Miss Ye, this is the jade fish I specifically instructed the chef to prepare for you. Would you like to taste it?” The second young master of the Ma family, Ma Tianzhi, eagerly placed a dish of shimmering emerald delicacy in front of Ye Jingyun.
Since Ye Jingyun had arrived, Ma Tianzhi had practically revolved his entire world around her, constantly showing his attentiveness, which even made Ye Chu quite envious.
Especially when Ma Tianzhi presented the jade fish to Ye Jingyun, Ye Chu could not help but feel a pang of sympathy for Ma Tianzhi.
What exactly is a jade fish? It is a spiritual fish that grows in spiritual pools and is extremely difficult to catch. Each fish grows by swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its flesh is as translucent as jade. Eating a single piece can extend the lifespan of ordinary people and assist cultivators in their training.
Such heavenly treasures can only be found in the Red Dust Domain. In the Emotion Domain, they are so rare that they are almost never seen. Forget about families like the Ma family. Even families with power several times greater than the Ma family would not possess such items.
The Emotion Domain simply cannot compare to the rich resources and abundant produce of the Red Dust Domain. This also leads outsiders to view the Emotion Domain as nothing more than a backwater.
“Thank you, Young Master Ma!” Ye Jingyun put on a delicate and fragile demeanour, bowed slightly, and thanked Ma Tianzhi. This made Ma Tianzhi so excited that he waved his hands repeatedly, saying it was unnecessary.
“Mourn in silence!” Watching Ye Jingyun unceremoniously enjoy the jade fish, Ye Chu silently mourned for Ma Tianzhi. He wondered how many more good things this fellow would lose to Ye Jingyun.
Seeing this, Ma Hua could not help but sigh. He thought to himself that his second young master was usually a smart man, but why did he become a fool when he met her?
Ma Hua wanted to remind Ma Tianzhi, but after some thought, he gave up. He figured that letting him suffer a few losses would make his eyes clearer when choosing women in the future, which would still benefit the family.
“When does the arena tournament begin?” Ye Chu asked Ma Hua.
“In three days!” Ma Hua replied, “You may rest at the Ma family estate for three days.”
Ye Chu nodded and asked Ma Hua about the details of the arena tournament. While Ye Chu and Ma Hua were talking, an elder walked quickly to Ma Hua’s side and whispered in his ear, “The young master’s malignant aura is becoming hard to suppress. If we cannot find an aura purifier to extract it for him, I am afraid he will not last a month.”
“What?” Ma Hua stood up abruptly, his face turning pale, “No matter what methods you use, you must help me suppress the malignant aura. Send people out to find an aura purifier immediately. I refuse to believe we cannot find a single one.”
“We did find a few aura purifiers, but their strength is too low, and they are completely unable to help the eldest young master. A few of them even had their bodies corrupted by the malignant aura and died tragic deaths.” The visitor said helplessly.
Ma Hua’s expression turned extremely dark, and his fists clenched tightly. “Keep searching! Send more people out. I do not care what the cost is, we must find a way to save him.”
“Yes!”
Seeing Ma Hua standing there with clenched fists and bulging veins, Ye Chu could not help but ask, “What kind of malignant aura has afflicted your son? It is actually this difficult to deal with!”
Ma Hua took a light breath to calm his emotions and said, “I do not know what this aura is either. However, the fact that even his Emperor realm third stage strength cannot withstand it shows it is clearly no ordinary malignant aura.”
Ye Chu’s eyes suddenly brightened. “Where was your son infected by the malignant aura?”
“Huo Nanzi!” Ma Hua gritted his teeth, “The successor of the Huo family!”
Ye Chu knew the Huo family were the previous arena champions, and Huo Nanzi was their heir. This made Ye Chu ask curiously, “Is he an aura purifier?”
“No!” Ma Hua said, “I do not know where he obtained the malignant aura either. He secretly attacked my son and left him severely injured. Hmph, sooner or later I will take my revenge!”
Seeing that Ma Hua also did not know the origin of the malignant aura, Ye Chu lost interest in listening to his harsh words. After exchanging a few casual remarks with Ma Hua, he prepared to find a place to cultivate.
…
In the Ye family courtyard, Ye Chu had just settled down quietly in one spot when Ma Tianzhi walked over to him. Glaring at Ye Chu, he said, “You had better stay far away from Miss Ye from now on. Otherwise… hmph…”
Ye Chu smiled and looked at this emotionally challenged individual. “Can you even beat me?”
“You…” Ma Tianzhi’s eyes widened in anger, “I may not be able to beat you, but it would be effortless for my Ma family to deal with you!”
“Is that so? Then why did you invite me to fight in your arena tournament?” Ye Chu laughed, “Is it not simply because your Ma family lacks capable people?”
“Hmph! Do not get too cocky. I only invited you because the younger generation of experts in the Ma family has no suitable candidates. Do you really think you are anything special?” Ma Tianzhi was filled with resentment towards Ye Chu and cursed him angrily.
“If I were you, I would be worried about whether your elder brother survives right now, rather than competing with me for a woman’s attention here.” Ye Chu looked at Ma Tianzhi and said, “I heard your elder brother is on the verge of collapsing.”
“You should worry about yourself. Do not let someone beat you to death in the arena!” Ma Tianzhi was furious when he heard Ye Chu curse his brother.
Ye Chu ignored Ma Tianzhi and looked at Ye Jingyun standing nearby. “Is it not too selfish of you to enjoy the jade fish all by yourself?”
“Careful you do not choke on a fish bone!” Although Ye Jingyun scolded Ye Chu, she brought the jade fish over to him and handed him a pair of chopsticks.
This scene made Ma Tianzhi leap with rage. His eyes fixed on Ye Chu with intense jealousy. He drew his long blade and roared, “I want to duel you!”
Ye Chu paid Ma Tianzhi no mind. He picked up his chopsticks and tasted the jade fish. The flesh was fresh and tender, truly a rare delicacy.
“You seek death!” Ma Tianzhi completely lost his temper. He swung his blade fiercely towards Ye Chu. The strike landed squarely where Ye Chu had been sitting, leaving no doubt. However, Ye Chu was no longer there. The blade struck down, and the stone stool shattered into four pieces.
“You had better not provoke me! Given how foolish you are, I do not wish to bother with you. Do not make me angry, or I will make sure you cannot leave here alive.” Ye Chu had no interest in fighting Ma Tianzhi. To him, such a person was nothing but a clown, but the man only thought highly of himself.
“I want you dead right now!” Ma Tianzhi raged. His long blade flew through the air as he hacked fiercely at Ye Chu. Jealousy had consumed his heart, and he had only one thought left. He had to cut Ye Chu down. Only then could Ye Jingyun be freed from Ye Chu’s coercion.
“You do not know your own limits!” Ye Chu watched the incoming blade, his figure suddenly leaping. He left afterimages in the air. Without suspense, in the next instant, Ye Chu’s foot connected with his chest. Ma Tianzhi let out a miserable cry and flew backwards. His blade flew out of his grip and shot into the void.
Ye Chu flicked a finger. A ray of sword light shot out and struck the long blade. It exploded into shattered pieces.
“You had better not provoke me. Do not think I am afraid of your Ma family!” Ye Chu stared at Ma Tianzhi, who had crashed to the ground and was coughing up blood. His tone was icy cold.
Ma Hua happened to be alerted by the commotion and arrived just in time to witness the scene. He stared blankly at Ye Chu, looking at the shattered long blade, his heart deeply shaken.
This long blade was forged by himself using countless refined metals. It was incredibly hard. Yet, it had shattered into pieces under a single ray of sword light from his opponent?
The title Evil Sovereign Heavenly Beauty has been renamed to Peerless Evil God. There are many reasons for this. Regardless of the name, I hope to bring everyone the best work possible. My writing speed might not be fast, but I can only put my heart into writing a book that brings joy to everyone. I have little else to say. Saying too much would feel pretentious even to myself. I only hope everyone will continue to support me, especially by supporting the official release…
