“Did I not tell you? My name is Ye Chu!” Ye Chu’s gaze swept over Zhong Wei’s supple waist. He thought to himself that this woman truly lived up to her reputation as a world-famous dancer, her waist being so slender it made one’s heart skip a beat. With every occasional sway, one could feel the astonishing elasticity and resilience within. For a man, this was highly blood-stirring.
“Although I do not know what cultivation technique your speed comes from, it is absolutely top-tier, perhaps even a Saintly Technique. Someone who can produce a Saintly Technique must have an absolute powerhouse standing behind them. A family with such a powerhouse cannot be an obscure nobody on the continent,” Zhong Wei said, looking at Ye Chu arrogantly, with a touch of confidence.
Ye Chu suddenly smiled, looking at Zhong Wei with a beaming expression. He thought to himself that she had guessed completely wrong. This was not a Saintly Technique, but a far stronger Supreme Technique.
“Then who are you? To set up such a massive formation in the passage, the other party must have had a purpose. Thinking it over, their target must have been you. To make them so ruthless and deploy such a grand formation, it seems you are not simple either,” Ye Chu said, looking at Zhong Wei with a smile. “If you were merely a successor of a Sacred Land, it should not provoke such a reaction. After all, there are so many Sacred Lands in the world, and so many successors. The older generation, proud of their status, would not stoop to deal with a young girl like you.”
“Who told you they would not deal with me?” Zhong Wei glanced at Ye Chu and said, “Because I have another identity: the Dance God!”
“Bah!” Ye Chu could not help but spit. “Miss, please do not insult the word ‘god’. With your skills, you call yourself a Dance God? If you truly are a Dance God, dance for me to see!”
Hearing Ye Chu dismiss Zhong Wei’s dancing with such disdain, even spitting at the idea, the crowd exchanged glances. Of course, they were not foolish enough to step forward and explain.
They had noticed that Ye Chu and Zhong Wei did not get along during this journey. Naturally, they were unwilling to offend Zhong Wei. However, they also could not afford to offend Ye Chu. Watching the two clash, the group remained silent as cicadas in winter, pretending not to hear and turning their heads away.
Nevertheless, some secretly criticised him in their hearts, thinking Ye Chu was truly willing to let go, scolding such a delicate and beautiful woman.
“What do you know? Our young miss is famous throughout the region. Who does not rack their brains just to see our young miss dance once?” Cui Zhu stepped forward and snorted, disregarding Ye Chu’s strength.
“A mule or a horse, you will know once you bring it out for a walk,” Ye Chu said, glancing at Zhong Wei.
“Keep dreaming!” Zhong Wei rolled her eyes at Ye Chu, well aware of the little schemes in his heart.
This charming glance, full of amorous feelings, left a few people who had been staring at Zhong Wei completely stunned.
Ye Chu shrugged, indifferent, and continued moving forward.
“Hey! What is that movement technique of yours? Can you teach it to me?” Zhong Wei suddenly called out again. Ye Chu’s movement technique interested her greatly. If she could incorporate such a technique into her dancing, it would absolutely elevate her performance to another level.
“My name is Ye Chu, not ‘Hey’!” Ye Chu reminded her. “Furthermore, my family has established a rule. Besides a woman who marries me, this movement technique can only be taught to my women. You can learn it if you want. Choose what you want to be, then?”
“You…” Before Zhong Wei could get angry, Zhou Kayang erupted in fury and shouted, “Shameless scoundrel!”
“Thanks for the compliment!” Ye Chu waved his hand at Zhou Kayang. “However, your level of cursing is really not that good! When I was in Yao City, even the worst cursing knew to use the word ‘scum’. I suddenly realise that people in the Red Dust Domain truly lack culture. How tragic and lamentable…”
“…” Zhou Kayang felt as if he had punched a wall, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood from sheer anger. He thought to himself that there really were people like this in the world, complaining that others did not curse him fiercely enough.
“You are not from the Red Dust Domain?” Zhong Wei caught the flaw in Ye Chu’s words, a gleam flashing in her eyes. Thinking about it, it made sense. If he were from the Red Dust Domain and capable of opposing Zhao Haibo, he should have quite a reputation. There was no reason she would not know him.
“Daring to be so arrogant on our turf, are you not afraid of being skinned and drawn?” Zhong Wei’s lips curved upwards as she looked at Ye Chu intently.
“I think at this moment, you should be worrying about yourself,” Ye Chu said, his body suddenly tensing as he looked into the distance.
This sentence made everyone present pause, and then Zhong Wei’s expression changed drastically.
“Run!” Zhong Wei put a veil over her face and shouted loudly to Cui Zhu and Zhou Kayang, preparing to leave from the other side.
However, before she could leave, numerous people appeared around them. These people all wore masks, completely surrounding Ye Chu and his group in the centre. Wielding their weapons, they slashed through the tall grass, leaving Ye Chu and the others completely exposed to their line of sight.
Zhong Wei’s pupils contracted sharply as she recalled Ye Chu’s words just now. Could it be that someone truly had designs on her?
“Everyone hand over everything you have on you. Anyone who resists dies!” the masked group shouted, pointing their weapons at Ye Chu.
This sentence made Ye Chu and the others pause slightly. They had originally thought these people were after Zhong Wei. They had not expected them to be here for robbery!
Seeing that Ye Chu and his group made no move, these people roared, “I will say it again, hand over everything you have!”
“Everyone, we have not offended you. Why must you…” a cultivator tried to plead.
But before the words were finished, the other party angrily interrupted, “Hand over your belongings, and we may spare your lives!”
Having said that, the group advanced towards Ye Chu and his companions, weapons in hand.
Seeing this, Ye Chu quickly raised both hands and shouted to the group, “Wait! If they will not give it, I will!”
Having said that, Ye Chu took out many good items, piled them in front of him, and said to the group in a fawning manner, “Honourable sirs, this is my entire fortune, all offered to you. I wonder if you honourable sirs would allow me to join your organisation?”
“…”
Many people stared at Ye Chu dumbfounded. They had originally thought Ye Chu was a powerhouse, never expecting this fellow to be so utterly without principles.
“At least you know what is good for you!” the masked man laughed heartily, looking at Zhong Wei’s group and waiting for them to hand over their belongings.
“Sir… he is still hiding things!” Ye Chu suddenly pointed at Zhou Kayang, exposing him.
“Ye Chu… you…” Zhou Kayang glared at Ye Chu in fury, never expecting this bastard to be so shameless, completely devoid of any sense of decency.
Ye Chu’s words made the masked group roar in anger. Looking at Zhou Kayang, they said, “Strip off all your clothes, or we will send you to the afterlife!”
Ignoring Zhou Kayang’s murderous glare, Ye Chu turned to the group and said, “Honourable sirs, I wonder if this is enough for me to join you?”
“You kid certainly know what is good for you! However, our team has no need for despicable villains who would even betray their own companions!” the group laughed loudly.
This sentence made Zhou Kayang and his group snort, their eyes filled with disgust as they looked at Ye Chu. “You deserve it!”
