Chapter 82: How is it you?

  "These things, wait until you pass this bottleneck, I will tell you myself. Otherwise, it's better if you never ask." Ye Wentian looked at Yuling and said: "Alright, go to the Ye family and bring Nanyan back quickly, I'll be waiting here for you. Hopefully, we can really get the Saint's Dao mark this time."

  Yu Lingong nodded, took a step forward, and her figure was infinitely elegant. A strip of Taoist lines extended from the front of her jade feet, and the void cracked open. She stepped in and entered the void passage, disappearing from sight.

  In the small courtyard behind Ye's house, on this night, Ye Chen was just about to fall asleep when a fragrant breeze suddenly swept in, as if the air naturally carried a scent. But Ye Chen's face lit up with joy because he was too familiar with this smell. He immediately flipped over and got out of bed, only to see the space inside the room shaking. The next moment, an icy-skinned, jade-boned, peerless beauty slowly emerged - if it wasn't Yuling, who else could it be?

  "Yu Gu Gu, you've finally arrived." Ye Chen said, "I'm about to leave the Ye family, this time you won't have any other matters, should be able to take Nan Er directly to Ling Long Island, right?"

  "You little guy, so many questions as soon as we meet." Yuling's beautiful eyes sparkled, and with just one glance, she could make people feel weak in the knees. She stood in the center of Ye Chen's bedroom, but it was as if she were standing at the pinnacle of the nine heavens, independent and unparalleled, noble and enchanting. Her words carried a hint of reproach, "Why don't you ask your aunt how I've been these days?"

  "...only you make it hard for others, who makes it hard for you to come?" Ye Chen muttered in his heart, but immediately stopped, because he thought of Yu Linglong's terrible ability to peek into people's minds.

  "Hehe, is Auntie that scary?" Yuling smiled lightly, but her charm was boundless, combining sensuality and allure in one body. Her waist swayed as she walked over to Ye Chen's side, looking at him with interest, saying: "Do you think I'm a beauty or a snake demon?"

  "Neither is." Ye Chen shook his head and teased: "It's a fairy maiden."

  For some reason, looking at the delicate and lovely Yu Linglong, Ye Chen had a strange feeling at this moment. In his mind, he suddenly recalled the naked body he saw in the back mountain that day. Although Ye Chen didn't have any evil thoughts about the body he saw that day, it was just too beautiful, not something a mortal woman could possess. It was a perfect body that only a fairy or god could create, with every part being exquisite and divine, gathering all the wonders of heaven and earth in one person.

  He suddenly had an idea in his mind and wanted to lift the veil of Yuling's face to see what she really looked like.

  "Hehe, you little scamp, so glib and smooth-tongued." Yuling's delicate smile was enchanting, her veil fluttered lightly, and her eyes shone like autumn water, stirring up ripples in Ye Chen's heart.

  "Is there?" Ye Chen wiped his mouth and said: "Auntie, aren't you tired wearing a veil?"

  "Want to see my face?" Yuling's eyes held a mysterious smile as she looked at Ye Chen and said, "I'm afraid it would scare you."

  "I've seen floods and beasts, can I still be scared by Aunt's face?" Ye Chen didn't think much of it, and with a sudden movement, he reached out and tore off the thin veil.

  At that moment, Ye Chen was stunned and then his face turned pale with shock. He took a few steps back, and then sat down on the bed with a thud, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

  Jade Linglong didn't speak, with a faint smile on her face, her eyes were softer than autumn water, captivating people's hearts. Ye Chen opened his mouth and after half a day, he finally managed to utter a sentence, "How...how...is it you...this..."

  "Why can't it be me, little guy? I haven't settled the score with you yet. Today, you've exposed my aunt's secret again. How do you think this account should be settled?" Yuling walked lightly to the bedside, close to Ye Chen, only a foot away, making Ye Chen's body continuously lean back, sweating profusely, saying: "Uh...this, that..."

  "It's a misunderstanding, an absolute misunderstanding." Ye Chen forced a smile, his face stiff.

  "Huh, a misunderstanding?" Yuling said with a hint of a smile, muttering to herself: "I wonder how Ye Da-ge will react when he finds out about that thing..."

  Ye Chen's face turned pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He looked at Yuling with pleading eyes, "This thing, it's not good to let Father know about it, is it? And how can you, Aunt Yu, bring it up? Can we discuss this?"

  "Don't let your father know?"

  "Uh-huh." Ye Chen nodded.

  "Alright, you have to promise Auntie one thing."

  "What's up? Aunt Yu, you said as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree with you."

  "You promise me first."

  "Uh..."

  "Heh heh." Yuling covered her mouth and laughed, her voice like heavenly music, and her chest was even more turbulent, "What's wrong, can't Auntie still eat you up?"

  "That's not it," Ye Chen said with a stiff smile. "But you have to let me know what this is about."

  "I'll go find you later, and I'll tell you then." Yuling said with a smile.

  "Yu Auntie, I need your help with something." Ye Chen thought of the problems facing the Ye family.

  "It's your family's affair." Yuling knew what Ye Chen was worried about and said, "Your family is safe, you don't have to worry, in Chu Di no one dares to touch your family a single hair."

  "That's good, I'm relieved. But there's one more thing I'd like to ask of you, Auntie." Ye Chen said, pausing for a moment before continuing: "Do you know about the town of Wuming? I have a little sister there, can you also bring her to Linglong Island?"

  "Nameless Town? Little sister?" Yu Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of divine light, her face subtly changing. "What kind of little sister, what's her name?"

  "She is a five or six year old little girl, very pitiful, with an unusual life story, lonely and helpless, named Xiao Xianfeng. I had promised to pick her up, but afterwards I have to go to Ying City, at that time she will be with me and it's probably not safe." Ye Chen replied truthfully.

  Yu Ling's face changed color several times, and then she said seriously: "Chen Er, Auntie can't help you with that little girl's matter, nor can she bring her back to Linglong Island."

  "Why is that?" Ye Chen wondered, looking at Yu Linglong and said: "You have a big island of Linglong, taking in a little girl shouldn't be difficult, right."

  "If it were any other girl, it wouldn't be a problem, but that little girl is not allowed." Yu Linglong's eyes flashed with a hint of divine light as she spoke slowly: "In the town of Wú Míng, Xiao Xian Shuang, I have seen this girl before. At the time, I noticed her and sensed a strange power within her body, which was terrifying. If you stay with her for too long, great calamity will befall you, and a curse will be placed upon you. Even with my abilities as your aunt, it cannot be changed."

  Ye Chen was taken aback, thinking of the legend about Xiao Xianfeng, and the scene he saw that night, suddenly speechless. But what kind of power did Xiao Xianfeng have on her body that even Yu Linglong, as a person from Linglong Island, was so wary of?

  "But there is one person in this world who can be immune to this curse," said Yuling.

  "Who?"

  "With your current awakened bloodline power, you can not only be immune to the curse but also make the curse in her body disappear bit by bit. If you really want to help her, take her away then. Maybe one day she will bring you unexpected surprises."

  Yu Linglong's words were somewhat similar to what Yin Daoren had said, and thinking of that Taoist priest, Ye Chen felt even more mysterious about him. Yu Linglong had mentioned earlier that in this world, only one person could be immune to the curse, but now Xiaoxian Shuang was with Yin Daoren, and would Yin Daoren not know the consequences of being with Xiaoxian Shuang? Since he knew what he was doing, it was clear that he had absolute confidence in his own safety.

  "Alright, I'll go take a look at Nang'er. I'll bring her away early tomorrow morning. Tonight, leave some time for you all to gather together. Otherwise, the little girl might not be willing to follow me." Yuling smiled and suddenly merged into the void, disappearing without a trace.

  Ye Chen looked at the place where she disappeared, and he didn't find it strange that Yu Linglong suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared. From the moment he first saw her and knew that she came from the top force of Linglong Island, he knew that she was definitely a very powerful cultivator.

  Ye Chen didn't know that this method of merging his body into the void wasn't something ordinary people could do. He even thought that maybe he would be able to do it after entering the Secret Realm of the Vast Ocean of Fate.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  There was a knock at the door outside, and soon Nang's voice came in, with a hint of crying, "Young master, young master."

  Ye Chen got up and opened the door, pulling Nang'er in. Looking at his red eyes, he said with a heartache: "What's wrong, Nang'er? I told you not to cry."

  "Waaahhh..." Nang'er suddenly hugged Ye Chen tightly, "Aunt Yu has come to pick up Nang'er, and Nang'er will have to leave early tomorrow morning. But Nang'er doesn't want to, can't bear to leave Young Master."

  Tears gushed down, Nang'er cried so much that her face was covered in tears, making Ye Chen worried. He closed the door and picked her up, walking to the bedside and sitting down, gently stroking her hair, saying: "Nang'er don't cry, cultivate well on Linglong Island, later when you become very strong, if you miss me, come find me."

  "Uh-huh." Nang'er pouted, "Young master, would you hold me while I sleep tonight?"

  "This..."

  "You can't refuse, last time Master lost a bet and promised to grant me one request, you can't go back on your word." Nang'er raised her small face and looked at Ye Chen, her big eyes were like two spring wells, with tears constantly welling up.

  "Don't cry, don't cry, it hurts Young Master's heart to see you cry." Ye Chen said softly, reaching out to wipe away her tears. As they were about to part, Ye Chen felt a pang of reluctance in his heart as well. He held Nang'er and lay down on the bed, covering them with the quilt. The little maid curled up and snuggled into Ye Chen's arms, sobbing, "Young Master, when Nang'er is gone, will you miss her?"

  "I..."

  Ye Chen was about to speak, when Nang'er's voice sounded again. "If the young master doesn't want me, it's okay, I'll always think of the young master, as long as the young master is doing well, I'm happy, this life, nothing is more important than the young master..."

  "Stupid girl." Ye Chen's heart trembled slightly, this was what it meant to be moved. "Nan'er, from now on don't call me Young Master, just call me Brother instead."

  "No." Nang's little head shook back and forth in Ye Chen's arms, "Young Master will always be Young Master."
