Chapter Eleven: The Fairy Emerges from Her Bath

  Through introspection, Ye Chen saw the internal blood and gas of that cell particle surging, like a fierce beast rushing inside, and then bursting open with a loud noise, the blood and gas surged wildly, merging into every inch of his muscles.

  Before long, the muscles began to squirm automatically, and the blood gas that had merged into the muscles started to seep into the bones. The skeleton crackled with a rattling sound as a bit of impurities were washed out by the blood gas, overflowing from Ye Chen's pores and covering his skin with a layer of blackness, both stinky and ugly.

  Ye Chen sat quietly on the ground until there were no more impurities being expelled from his body, then he stood up, smelling the scent on him and wrinkling his brow, but his mood was great.

  Flesh Body Five Layers!

  He finally reached the fifth stage of physical cultivation. In nearly two months, he had advanced from the third stage to the fifth stage. With about two months left before the family's grand tournament at the end of the year, Ye Chen couldn't be certain if he could enter the sixth stage before the tournament. Only by entering the sixth stage would he have absolute confidence in winning first place and obtaining the low-grade extreme spirit medicine.

  At his current level of cultivation, he is not considered the strongest among the younger generation in the family. At least, he knows that he cannot defeat his cousins Ye Sheng and Ye Yan.

  Ye Sheng and Ye Yan are both geniuses of the Ye family, their strength had already reached the 7th stage two years ago. Although they haven't made a breakthrough in these two years, they aren't far off either. They're probably already at the peak of the 7th stage, and also possess powerful techniques.

  Ye Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it, quickly rushing into the forest. Ten miles away was a lake, just right for washing off the impurities discharged from his body. His whole body was oily and smelly, giving people a hard time.

  Soon, Ye Chen arrived at the lake in the mountains. The lake was about a few miles in circumference, not small but not large either. It was surrounded by forests. At this time, it was already late afternoon, and the sunset's afterglow shone brightly on the lake surface. A gentle breeze blew over, creating ripples that sparkled like gold.

  Ye Chen took off his clothes and dove into the lake, not feeling cold at all. Although it was winter, the climate in Chu land changed very little with the seasons, so even ordinary people wouldn't find the lake water icy when bathing in winter, let alone Ye Chen, a cultivator.

  After carefully washing the stained clothes, Ye Chen spread them out flat on a green stone by the lake shore, then dove into the water and swam freely like a dragon returning to the sea.

  The lake's water rippled, reflecting the sunset, Ye Chen was as if placed in a golden ocean, surrounded by silence. Just as Ye Chen was about to sigh at the beauty of the scene, suddenly not far away, a loud splash sounded, making Ye Chen jump in surprise. Turning his head to look, he was immediately stunned, a white and flower-like thing dazzling him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.

  At this moment, Ye Chen had an urge to vomit blood, and a certain place even had a physiological reaction. A beautiful jade body emerged from the lake water, with wet hair scattered on her shoulders, her skin as delicate as the first snow, and water droplets rolling down her cheeks that seemed to be breakable with just a blow.

  That face was so charming that it couldn't be described, with slender and delicate eyebrows like a spring mountain covered in green, eyes as gentle as waves, rosy cheeks, soft and alluring red lips, a slender neck, twin peaks standing tall, two points of rosy red captivating the eye. Although she was in the lake, the clear water couldn't block Ye Chen's line of sight, taking in all the beautiful scenery at once, especially the hint of shy beauty hidden between her long and slender legs, mysterious and full of temptation.

  This woman has a seductive figure and charming face, but she also has an air of nobility.

  Ye Chen was a thirteen-year-old boy, but he had the mature mind of a twenty-seven-year-old. In some sense, he was an adult. Seeing such a scene, he immediately had a physiological reaction.

  The woman also found Ye Chen, and the two locked eyes, frozen in the lake.

  "Ah!"

  It was a long time before a sharp cry rang out, the woman's face flushed with shame, her hands covering her chest, humiliated and indignant, saying: "You...you're still looking!"

  At this time, Ye Chen also reacted and hastily turned around, awkwardly saying: "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. Originally, I wanted to take a bath in the lake, but I didn't expect you were here too. This is a misunderstanding, purely a misunderstanding."

  Although Ye Chen had already turned around, the perfect and unblemished, mature and proud jade-like body had already appeared in his mind, it was really too tempting. He swore that he had never seen such a peerless jade-like body on earth, and couldn't help but admire the heavenly craftsmanship.

  "You think I'll believe your ridiculous explanation? A 13 or 14-year-old kid, and you're already learning how to peep!"

  Ye Chen was suddenly enraged, the entire mountain range of hundreds of miles around here belonged to the Ye family, and this lake too. It's just that normally nobody came here, but now someone dared to take a bath on his own family's territory, and even had the audacity to be treated as a shameless voyeur.

  "Believe it or not, this lake belongs to my Ye family. What's wrong with me taking a bath here? But you, who are you and why are you appearing here, what's your intention?" Ye Chen retorted coldly.

  "Ah!" The woman took a deep breath, and then actually burst out laughing, saying: "You little scamp, you've seen through Sister's body and yet you still have the nerve to act so smug. Sister has taken note of you!"

  When Ye Fan heard this sentence, the voice had already come from a very far place, making him wonder in his heart. He turned his head to see where there was still a woman's figure, but she had long gone somewhere unknown.

  "What the hell?" Ye Chen muttered to himself, shivering with cold. In that instant, he felt the lake water was icy and piercing to the bone. He quickly swam to the shore, put on his wet clothes, looked around, and confirmed that the woman had indeed disappeared in the blink of an eye, feeling relieved in his heart.

  Whether there are ghosts or monsters in this world, Ye Chen doesn't know. On the Longevity Continent, demons definitely exist. They can suddenly disappear from a lake that's several miles wide with just a blink of an eye. If they're not demons, then they must be cultivators who are incredibly powerful to the point where it's unimaginable.

  "It's a good thing she didn't lay a hand on me, or else I'd be done for this time!" Ye Chen broke out in a cold sweat and quickly ran towards home.

  "Master, you're back! It's already dark outside. Why are you so late today?" As soon as Ye Chen returned to the small courtyard and hadn't even entered his own room, Nan'er ran over. She grabbed Ye Chen's arm and found that it was completely soaked through. Immediately, she leaned in close to Ye Chen's body and sniffed, muttering strangely: "There's no sweat smell, how did you get so wet?"

  "My clothes got dirty and I was all sweaty, so I went to the lake in the back mountain to wash up a bit." Ye Chen said with a smile.

  "Ah, come in quickly and change out of those wet clothes, what if you get sick!" Nannuo hastily pulled Ye Chen into the house.

  Ye Chen's heart was secretly sweating, as a cultivator of the fifth stage of physical refinement, he was so fragile. However, he also understood that Nang'er was concerned about him, and when one is concerned, they become flustered. A warm feeling surged up in Ye Chen's heart. He let Nang'er pull him into the room, then watched as the little maid hastily helped him find his clothes.

  "Master, after changing clothes, we'll go to Old Master's courtyard." Nang'er said while helping Ye Chen put on his clothes.

  "What's up?" Ye Chen was taken aback. Ye Xun Tian rarely looked for him, and today he suddenly called him over, definitely something had happened.

  Nan'er had already dressed Ye Chen's clothes for him and was adjusting his collar, somewhat distracted, saying: "It seems like we have a guest arriving."

  "Who?" Ye Chen became even more curious, neither during the time he had been here nor in his dreams had he ever seen any guests come to the small courtyard behind the house. Since it was a guest, then it definitely wouldn't be someone from the Ye family.

  "Could it be the Zhao family?" Ye Chen thought, but quickly denied this idea. If the Zhao family wanted to ask for punishment, they wouldn't have waited until today, let alone come at night.

  Nan'er smiled and said: "It's a sister, a very beautiful sister."

  "Sister?" For some reason, Ye Chen suddenly thought of the jade body in the lake behind the mountain, but he knew that Nang's sister would not be the woman from behind the mountain.

  "Come on, young master, the old man is still waiting for us to have dinner." Nang'er was getting impatient, which made Ye Chen even more curious about what kind of woman could make this maid so eager to meet her.

  When Ye Chen and Nan Er arrived at the small courtyard of Ye Wen Tian's residence, a beautiful figure appeared before their eyes. It was as if she had sensed their arrival, and Ye Wen Tian turned around with the woman.

  She wore a purple palace dress, with a light gauze covering her face, and a cloud-like hairpin adorned with a delicate jade hairpin. The jade hairpin was decorated with cloud-shaped flowers and had five-colored pearls hanging down. Her ears were adorned with two bright pearl earrings that shone brightly. However, the most dazzling part of her beauty was her eyebrows and eyes, which were as white as snow. Describing her beauty with phrases like "shy flower closing the moon" and "sinking fish falling geese" would not be excessive. The most difficult-to-describe charm lay between her eyebrows, where a subtle, flirtatious, and enchanting aura emanated, yet exuded an air of nobility, presenting a stunningly beautiful and noble appearance.

  Ye Chen's eyes showed a look of astonishment, and Nan'er was stunned. Previously, she had only seen a glimpse of his back. Now facing each other directly, although covered with a layer of gauze, it was still hard to conceal his extraordinary appearance.

  Ye Chen quickly calmed his mind and turned his gaze to Ye Wentian, hoping he would introduce himself, otherwise he wouldn't know how to address him, and as the host it would be somewhat impolite.

  Seeing Ye Chen's gaze coming over, Ye Wen Tian burst out laughing and then pretended to be serious, saying: "Chen'er, Nan'er, why don't you quickly come over to pay respects to Aunt Yu?"

  "Jade Auntie?" Feng Li's mouth opened and closed, as if something was stuck in his throat. Out of nowhere, a "auntie" appeared, and it was this kind of devastatingly beautiful woman.
