Chapter 62: Ye Chen, I Don’t Owe You Anymore!

Ye Chen paid no mind to the two women behind him, still stunned by what had just transpired. Once he confirmed that no disgusting remnants had clung to him, his gaze shifted toward the female cultivator who had stirred the pot earlier.

Upon sensing Ye Chen’s eyes upon her, the female cultivator’s body trembled. Her voice quivered with disbelief, as she could hardly fathom how a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining had perished so easily at Ye Chen’s hands.

“Please, please don’t kill me…. I’m willing to serve you as a maid, to work for you for a lifetime… Please….”

Before the female cultivator could finish her pleading, Ye Chen raised his hand and pointed. A bloody hole exploded at the center of her forehead, and she collapsed to the ground in despair.

Ye Chen looked down at her lifeless body, his expression impassive. She thought she had the right to become my servant, even though she was inferior to Lu Jing and Lin Ke’er? What a beautiful fantasy. He moved to the male cultivator’s corpse and retrieved the several storage pouches from earlier.

Ye Chen had no intention of keeping them for himself. Instead, he planned to return them to his family. It would certainly count as a contribution, one that might help secure him a place in the Green Cloud Sect.

He lifted his gaze. At this point, the terrifying roars of the demon beasts were growing ever closer, nearing the very heart of Silver Moon Market.

Ye Chen turned to look at Lu Jing and Lin Ke’er, who were still somewhat dazed, and spoke calmly, “Do you want to come with me to Green Cloud City?”

Only then did the two women snap out of their stupor.

Lu Jing nodded without the slightest hesitation. Lin Ke’er, too, had no qualms. The impact of Ye Chen’s actions had shaken her deeply. She had once believed she would surpass Ye Chen eventually. But now, the gap between them was widening with each passing moment. Ye Chen was undoubtedly a genius. At that moment, Lin Ke’er’s mindset had undergone a drastic transformation.

Another thunderous roar of a beast echoed, shaking their very souls. Along with that, the sounds of countless cultivators’ screams and wails filled the air. From the intensity of the noise, it was clear the danger was now within five hundred meters.

Lin Ke’er and Lu Jing were filled with fear, yet a deep sense of regret lingered in their hearts. If only Ye Chen hadn’t given that flying boat to Sun Ruoxin. Then they could have fled aboard it directly.

Sun Ruoxin must have known something would happen, which was why she had wanted to take the flying boat. There was no way it could have been a mere coincidence. That wretched woman!

“Fellow Daoist Ye, that Sun Ruoxin wanted the flying boat, she’s practically condemning us to death!” Lin Ke’er exclaimed, her voice trembling with frustration.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, you treated Sun Ruoxin so well, yet she repays your kindness with malice. Such a wicked woman! She clearly wanted to kill you, Fellow Daoist Ye! I have never seen such a venomous woman!” Lu Jing joined in, her voice filled with disdain.

The two women, despite their differences, took the opportunity to vent their anger at Sun Ruoxin. After all, they had competed with each other for Ye Chen’s favor for so long, with no clear victor. But Sun Ruoxin was different. She had connections, which was an advantage that posed a much greater threat to both of them. Thus, in this moment of danger, they had no qualms about uniting against a common enemy.

Ye Chen listened to their words, a faint smile curling at the corners of his lips. He did not respond to them, but instead, he immediately summoned the flying boat granted by the system. The moment the boat materialized, the two women fell silent, their eyes wide in shock.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Ye Chen had summoned yet another flying boat! And this one was even more extravagant. It stretched a full ten meters in length and three meters in width, its entire body a deep, glossy black. It was large enough to carry dozens of people. This wasn’t a mere flying boat, but a flying ship!

How could Ye Chen possess something so luxurious? Could it be that Ye Chen’s father had discovered a spirit stone mine?

The two women stood there, completely stunned, their mouths agape. Amidst the shock, Lu Jing felt a surge of excitement. She had already made up her mind about Ye Chen. His strength and wealth would only benefit her. On the other hand, Lin Ke’er’s already fragile defenses were now on the verge of collapse.

As the sounds of the beasts grew ever louder, Ye Chen climbed aboard the ship and calmly issued an order: “Let’s go!”
