Chapter Thirteen: The Emotional Ordeal of Qing Si

  From the conversation, Ye Chen knew that 'Auntie' Yu Linglong came from Donghai Linglong Island. Linglong Island was a top power on the Longevity Continent, but Yu Linglong did not mention her status on the island, and Ye Chen did not ask either.

  Yu Linglong told Ye Chen that Dongzhou has four major blessed lands, two major caves, and two major academies. The four major blessed lands are first-rate powers, while the two major caves and two major academies are on par with Linglong Island, which is a top-notch power on the mainland.

  Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he knew that if he wanted to obtain more cultivation resources in the future, joining a power was necessary. He had originally thought of going to Linglong Island, but as soon as this idea came out, it was ridiculed by Yulinglong. Ye Chen could even see the waves surging on her chest.

  "Heh heh... Chen Er, Linglong Island only accepts female disciples. Do you still want to go?" Yu Linglong said with a hint of teasing.

  Ye Chen's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he glared at Yuling Long with a bad temper. However, he wouldn't admit defeat so easily, and instead pretended to be nonchalant, saying: "Go on, why not go? There are so many beautiful senior sisters, and it's said that practicing with the opposite sex doesn't get tiring - this is indeed a very reasonable statement."

  Yu Linglong laughed even harder, she thought this little guy was getting more and more interesting, and couldn't help but tease him, "How can you have such good fortune? If you go to Linglong Island, Auntie will take you as her personal disciple, and in the future, you'll be by Auntie's side day and night, and won't even see other sisters, let alone see Auntie every day."

  Ye Chen's body suddenly felt cold, thinking that every day he was following someone who could see his thoughts, what secrets did he have left to keep, it was no different from standing naked in front of her. However, on his face, there was an expression of indifference, intentionally speaking ambiguously, saying: "That's not bad either, Auntie is so beautiful, better than looking at other sisters, just don't know if I have that kind of luck."

  "Chen'er, what are you talking about? How dare you speak to Yugu like that?" Ye Qiantian scolded, but there was no anger in his eyes.

  "Hehe." Yuling smiled, "That aunt is waiting for you on Linglong Island. If one day you really come, Aunt will definitely give you a surprise."

  "Cough..."

  Ye Wen coughed, unsure if it was intentional or his throat really wasn't feeling well. Ye Chen, on the other hand, didn't believe Yu Linglong's words - would she give herself a surprise? Yes, a surprise, but who knew whether that surprise would be good or bad for Ye Chen.

  Finally, Yuling said that she had important things to do this time and would be away for at least two months or up to half a year, so she couldn't take Nannan with her. She told Ye Chen that after reaching the second secret realm, he must find a way to go to Riyue Academy because the 'Riyue Ancient Classic' of Riyue Academy was the best technique for cultivating the second secret realm.

  To enter the Day and Night Academy, one must first enter one of the Four Great Blessed Lands, and then stand out in the selection competition held once every ten years. Only then will they have the opportunity to be noticed by the Day and Night Academy; otherwise, even if they kneel until death at the gates of the Day and Night Academy, they will not be able to join it.

  As night fell, the four of them dispersed, and Yuling stayed in a guest room in Ye Chen's small courtyard.

  In the dead of night, all was quiet, with stars twinkling in the sky. Ye Chenbai had been exhausted from a whole day's work and was further tormented by Yu Linglong's presence at night, so he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't even notice that there was suddenly an extra person in his room.

  Inside the room, only a faint moonlight shone through the thin window paper, but the light was much dimmer, and everything in the house seemed very blurry. The figure, vaguely visible, had a slender and delicate body. She walked slowly to the bedside, without making any footsteps, as if she didn't have any weight at all.

  "Little one." Yuling's voice was soft, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes. "Auntie is about to meet her fate soon, I can only trouble you with this."

  After finishing, Yulingong pulled down a green thread and her slender hand stroked the hair thread. Suddenly, the hair thread had a faint glow flowing through it, with intricate patterns intertwined. A hint of hesitation flashed in Yulingong's eyes, but she finally placed the green thread on Ye Chen's neck.

  That green thread suddenly lengthened when it came into contact with Ye Chen's skin, wrapping around his neck dozens of times like a thin long whip before disappearing and merging into the skin on his neck.

  "Sorry, I hope you won't hate Auntie in the future." Yuling's expression was complex, she bent down and kissed Ye Chen's forehead before disappearing into the house, as if she had never appeared at all.

  On the peak of a mountain hundred miles behind the small courtyard, a white figure stood still at the summit, like a green pine, facing the vast sky with a straight waist, and also like a great mountain, thick and unshakeable.

  Yu Ling left Ye Chen's room and directly left the Ye family, her footsteps light as if she was walking on air. Her slender figure was like a fairy dancing, but in just a few steps, she disappeared without a trace. As she passed by a mountain peak, her figure suddenly stopped, a bitter expression floating on her face, and she stepped onto the mountain peak.

  "Sorry, Ye Ge," said Yuling with a hint of apology.

  Ye Wen Tian did not make a sound, with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, the wind blowing up his white robes, rustling softly.

  After a long time, he finally spoke in a faint voice, "You have entwined the emotional calamity of Qing Si around Chen Er's neck."

  "I... " Yu Linglong opened her mouth, but in the end, she could only nod and say: "Yes, emotional ties are entwined, this life is hard to break, only by cutting them off can we start anew."

  "You don't have to blame yourself, this matter was raised by me and also agreed upon by me. The reason is none other than that if you want to break the way and re-establish it, Chen Er is your only choice. The Chaotic Immortal Body has been unique to Chen Er since ancient times." Ye Wen Tian turned around, looking at Yu Ling Long's eyes filled with guilt, saying: "I'm not worried about Chen Er, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't be able to cut off your emotions. At that time, I hope you can truly understand the principle of breaking and establishing, otherwise, you will stop progressing forever!"

  "Brother Ye, why do you say this? In my heart and spirit, there is no reason to be severed." Yuling was somewhat puzzled, then said in a low voice: "It's actually Chen'er, his cultivation is still shallow, he hasn't even entered the gate, his spiritual awareness is too weak, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it later, and his Dao heart will be tainted."

  "Haha..." Ye Wentian burst out laughing, his voice echoing far and wide in the quiet night sky. His entire being exuded an aura of dominance and sharpness. "Why? Because he is my and her son, Xiaoyu! I really don't think highly of you. At that time, Huijian had a flaw, emotional ties were hard to break, he was your heaven, your earth, your only one!"

  "If that day really comes, Xiaoyu will make a good daughter-in-law for the Ye family." Yuling smiled and stepped into the air, quickly disappearing into the dark night. Only these words floated in the night sky.

  Ye Wen Tian quietly watched the direction where Yu Ling Long left, a hint of smile flashed in his dry and waveless eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Little Jade, the path is chosen by yourself, being the daughter-in-law of Ye's family won't humiliate you, extremely seductive body, my Ye family's daughter-in-law must be all kinds of queens!"

  At the same time, Ye Chen had a dream. In his dream, he returned to the lake in the back mountain and saw "The Fairy Bathing" again. However, the fairy was drowning. He swam hard to save her but ended up grasping at nothing. The fairy disappeared, and suddenly a smooth, tender, elastic, slightly cold body stuck to his back, wrapping around his waist.

  Ye Chen turned his head to face her, the woman's facial features became blurry and unclear. He tried hard to see her clearly, but couldn't, as if a layer of hazy fog was floating on her face, blocking his line of sight.

  "Who are you?" Ye Chen asked, feeling the tactile sensation on his skin, and his whole body slightly trembled.

  The girl didn't say a word, she just raised her head and kissed him lightly on the forehead. When that face moved away, Ye Chen was struck by lightning, let out a loud cry, and threw the jade body he was holding far away.

  "What is it? What is it?" Ye Chen suddenly sat up, his whole body drenched in sweat, and wiped his forehead with his hand, as if there was still a faint fragrance lingering there.

  "It was just a dream..." Ye Chen took a deep breath and completely relaxed, muttering to himself: "Fortunately, it was just a dream!"

  But deep down in his subconscious, there was a faint sense of regret, and he didn't know why he had this absurd feeling.

  When he saw the face of the woman in his dream clearly, he was really startled. It wasn't that the woman wasn't beautiful, on the contrary, she was so beautiful that it couldn't be described. Although she was covered with a layer of gauze, it was this layer of gauze that made Ye Chen break out in cold sweat, because the one who was hugging him naked in his dream was actually 'Jade Aunt'.

  Ye Chen rubbed his temples hard, and then chuckled awkwardly to himself. He couldn't believe he had a spring dream, and the object of it was actually the aunt he had just met today. This made him, who considered himself pure, feel full of guilt.

  "It turns out that deep down, I also have a beast lurking inside me, and after being deeply stimulated, it occasionally jumps out." Ye Chen's heart was slightly hurt, he had always thought of himself as very pure and upright.

  Ye Chen lay in bed, his spring dream leaving no trace. After waking up, he couldn't sleep anymore. Fortunately, he got out of bed, put on his clothes and went straight to the back mountain. Yesterday's cultivation had consumed more than half of the spiritual energy stored in the seal on his chest, which needed to be replenished properly.

  At this time, it was already deep in the night, and even beasts needed rest, so Ye Chen planned to venture deeper into the mountains at this time to store up his spiritual energy. Although it was deep in the night, under the illumination of the moonlight and starlight, the mountains were not pitch black and invisible. After this period of cultivation, not only had his physical body become much stronger, but his eyesight had also improved significantly.

  Ye Chen's figure was agile and nimble, quickly running through the mountain forest, almost reaching the limit of speed, but his footsteps were extremely light, each step landing only brought up the rustling sound of fallen leaves being trampled on the ground.

  In the second half of the night, the turbid air between heaven and earth was purified by nature. The spiritual energy during this period was much denser than usual. Ye Chen stopped and carefully sensed his surroundings, finding no wild beasts before starting to collect the spiritual energy. Countless green light dots converged towards his chest.

  Obviously, Ye Chen felt that this time the speed of collecting spiritual energy was much faster than before. The same place, but different time periods, had different effects.
