Ye Jingyun truly had good luck. She actually obtained a fortuitous opportunity in the city, her body infused with pure sun and moon energy, her strength surging dramatically, faintly touching the barrier of a Sovereign. Ye Jingyun informed Ye Chu that she needed to enter closed-door cultivation. Ye Chu was worried about her and told her to return to the Imperial Palace.
Ye Jingyun also knew that returning to the Imperial Palace was the most suitable option. After learning that Ye Chu was heading to the Artifact Sect, she could only set off alone. She travelled alone, but Ye Chu was not worried. Ye Jingyun’s current strength was already enough to fight a Sovereign, and with an ultimate expert’s weapon in her hand, there would be no danger in returning to the Imperial Palace.
After Ye Jingyun left, Ye Chu also embarked on the road to the Artifact Sect. He wanted to refine artifacts, so he needed refinement methods. And throughout the entire Red Dust Domain, the methods most renowned in the world were those of the Artifact Sect.
Ye Chu thought, no matter what, he first had to infiltrate the Artifact Sect and learn one or two artifact refinement methods.
…
The Artifact Sect was millions of miles away from where Ye Chu was. If he relied on foot travel, who knew how many years it would take to get there. Fortunately, there were things like spatial passages in this world. But even with the help of spatial passages, it would still take over half a month of travel to reach the Artifact Sect.
“Finally arrived?” Ye Chu reached a city. This was the only spatial passage within a thousand-mile radius. Countless cultivators passed through this city to travel to various places in the Passion Domain. It was precisely because of this that the city was exceptionally prosperous and immensely wealthy.
But despite its immense wealth, no power dared to set its sights on it. For no other reason than because behind this city stood a Sacred Land as its backer.
Ye Chu entered the city with the flow of people. Seeing the sea of people, Ye Chu did not want to rub shoulders with them, so he headed toward some more remote places to avoid the crowd.
Having just arrived in the city, Ye Chu prepared to rest for one night before making plans.
“Where is the young lady, where did the young lady go?” Just as Ye Chu was looking around for an inn, a crisp slap sound reached his ears. Ye Chu followed the sound of the slap and saw a man with a resolute face and handsome appearance looking gloomy as he shouted at the man opposite him, while simultaneously delivering a slap.
“Sir, the young lady… the young lady she…” The man who had been slapped spoke in a voice that grew weaker and weaker, until in the end he dared not continue.
“Waste!” The man delivered another slap to the other’s face. Without paying any more attention to this man, he led the team of people behind him to quickly search everywhere.
The man passed by Ye Chu’s side, glanced at Ye Chu, and asked aloud, “Have you seen a woman wearing a veil with a graceful figure pass by here?”
This person’s tone was not good. There was a hint of arrogance and unruliness in his voice.
“Never seen her!” Ye Chu did not even look at them, answered casually, and walked toward another alley without caring about them.
The man furrowed his brow, glanced at Ye Chu, but did not question him further. Instead, he shouted at his subordinates, “Go find her quickly for me. If you cannot find the young lady, none of you need come back to see me!”
“Yes! Sir!”
The group dispersed in all directions. The man also quickly walked toward an alley.
This interlude did not affect Ye Chu. Ye Chu continued walking as before, searching around for an inn where he could stay for the night.
“Ouch!” A pained groan sounded. A woman in front of Ye Chu collided with him. This woman was running very fast. When she collided with Ye Chu, there was a tremendous force rebounding her backward. She cried out in pain, her hand placed on her chest. If Ye Chu could see her face beneath the veil, he would certainly have seen that the pain had turned her face somewhat pale, her lips lightly biting.
“How do you walk?” A delicate shout of reprimand rang out, with anger in the tone. This anger left Ye Chu stunned, staring straight at this woman.
Just now, this woman had been looking behind her the whole time, yet walked forward at extreme speed. It was entirely she who collided into him. He had not even said anything about her, yet she bit back first.
Appraising the woman, the twilight light enveloped her. A pure white dress tightly wrapped around her graceful and beautiful figure. A faint soft light flickered around her body. Her full bosom, though pressed down by her hand, still rose and fell. The skin faintly revealed where the clothes did not cover was as pure and flawless as ivory. Her bearing was somewhat noble. Standing there, though covered by a veil, she seemed to have an air of being beyond desecration.
Seeing her pressing her chest, Ye Chu suddenly laughed. No wonder the collision against him just now had felt soft. So it was that place. Ye Chu could somewhat understand this woman’s shout of reprimand!
Ye Chu shrugged his shoulders, his gaze burning as he looked at the bosom she was pressing, which heaved even more dramatically because of its unevenness, making it appear even more ample. “Do you need me to take a look for you?”
“You…” The woman’s eyes above the veil shot out a cold light. Her face was like frost. She bit her shell-like teeth, utterly disgusted by this lecher.
“Move aside!” The woman was somewhat angered by Ye Chu’s gaze. Although she had been looked at by many men with lecherous eyes before, they had never dared to be so direct, using such a burning and direct gaze, unabashedly staring straight at her bosom.
Thinking of the collision just now, the woman’s irritation grew even stronger. She did not doubt for a moment that the impact there had not been light.
“Sure!” Ye Chu really moved aside. But he smiled and said, “However, I must tell you, just now there was a group of people looking for some young lady. Are you sure you want to go that way?”
This sentence instantly halted the woman’s steps. She immediately turned around and continued walking back in the direction she came from.
Ye Chu shrugged his shoulders. Behind this woman, his gaze fell upon that pair of straight long legs. In terms of legs alone, she could not compare to the sexiness of Ye Jingyun’s legs. But paired with her slender waist and graceful body, the combination was perfectly exquisite. Her back bathed in the twilight light was exceedingly beautiful. Especially the way her waist swayed as she walked, it felt full of resilience.
“This woman’s figure is truly perfect to the extreme. I just wonder what her face looks like beneath the veil.” Ye Chu smiled as he watched her departing figure.
“You are not allowed to follow me!” When the woman saw Ye Chu following behind her, she turned around and shouted angrily. But she saw Ye Chu staring at her long legs with a smile. This made her even more disgusted. She shouted at Ye Chu.
“It seems this road is not exclusively for you to walk, right?” Ye Chu looked at her and said. He was just about to say a few more words when he saw the man he had seen earlier running over from the distance.
“How is he here?” Ye Chu had not expected that they would search over here. Sure enough, Ye Chu saw this woman’s gaze toward him grow even colder, filled with anger.
“Are you playing me?” The woman ground her teeth as she looked at Ye Chu. Those autumn-water eyes revealed a look of extreme disgust.
“Sorry, I didn’t expect them to search over here!” Ye Chu said with a smile.
After these words were spoken, Ye Chu distinctly heard the sound of teeth grinding.
