Chapter Eighty-Seven He is My Husband

  The city of Ying is always bustling, but these past few days have been busier than usual, especially today. The city is filled with countless cultivators who have come to watch the once-in-five-years Four Great Lucky Lands' disciple selection competition in the mortal world.

  Each selection contest gathered all the young strongmen from a radius of one or two thousand miles, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a battle between dragons and tigers.

  Ye Chen pulled Xiao Xianfeng and Ye Yan together towards the registration office of the selection competition, located in the center of Ying City. Many years ago, the four major lucky lands established a huge arena in the center of Ying City for the selection competition, covering an area of several miles, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people or more.

  People are coming and going on the street, most of them heading in the same direction, towards the city stadium.

  When Ye Chen and the other two arrived at the registration office in the arena, it was already crowded with people, but it was very orderly. The onlookers were surrounded by a circle from afar, while those who wanted to participate in the competition consciously lined up one by one to register their names.

  Ye Chen and Ye Yan casually chose a team and stood up next to the last person.

  The man in front turned around, with a handsome face and elegant demeanor. When he saw Ye Yan, his eyes flashed with surprise. "Miss, you're not from this city, are you? I'm Hu Yifei of the Wuying Gate." He pointed to Ye Chen behind Ye Yan and asked, "Is that young man your friend?"

  Her face lit up with a faint smile, and her complexion radiated happiness. "He is my husband."

  Ye Chen stumbled, almost falling over. He hadn't expected Ye Yan to say something so shocking. When did he become a man with a famous concubine? How could such a big thing happen without him even knowing? It seemed that beauty had won out in the end.

  "Oh, really?" The young man looked at Ye Chen carefully with a hint of a smile in his eyes and sighed, "Miss, your husband is indeed very young. However, this Grand Tournament is cruel, with light injuries being severe and heavy ones being fatal. Miss, you might end up heartbroken."

  Ye Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, this person obviously looked down on Ye Chen, thinking that he would only be beaten to death or injured when he went on stage. This made her angry and couldn't bear others looking down on Ye Chen. She smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, sir. We're all here for the tournament. Since we've met, it's fate. If you unfortunately die in the tournament, my husband and I will definitely burn a pile of paper money and pour a bowl of wine for you next year."

  Hu Yi's face changed, but he quickly regained his composure and laughed: "In that case, I must thank you, Miss. Since you said that meeting is fate, after signing up, I'll invite you and your husband to have a few drinks with me."

  Ye Chen silently watched this scene, this guy obviously didn't believe that he and Ye Yan were husband and wife, trying to frame Ye Yan. However, flirting with women had reached this point, it was really speechless for Ye Chen. Having seen shamelessness before, but never seen such a thick-skinned person, others were cursing him to death, yet he still wore a smiling face asking people to drink?

  "But my husband said that the more elegant and sincere a person's smile is, the more hypocritical they are." Ye Yan said, turning her head to glance at Ye Chen with a charming expression, "Husband, isn't that what you said?"

  "Cough... it's like this." Ye Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.

  "With utmost sincerity, I wish to befriend you and your husband. My genuine heart is as clear as the sky and earth." Hu Yifei's face was exceptionally sincere, smiling at Ye Chen, that smile was very charming and easily made people feel close, but Ye Chen felt a hint of coldness within it.

  Ye Chen couldn't help but sneer inwardly, this guy actually thought he didn't exist, did he think it was okay to entangle himself with another man's woman? Alright, Ye Chen admitted that although he and Ye Yan were just siblings, at this moment he had been pushed into the role of her husband.

  "Sincerity can't be just spoken, it has to be proven." Ye Yan said softly, her voice so gentle that Ye Chen couldn't help but wonder if she was really being fooled by Hu Yi Fei.

  "How can that miss believe in my sincerity?" Hu Yifei was overjoyed, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, and he said warmly.

  "Master Hu's heart is as red as a flame, but seeing is believing, can you dig it out and let me take a look?" Ye Yan's eyes were like water, delicate as a flower, but they made Hu Yifei's face change greatly, his refined demeanor disappearing in an instant. He narrowed his eyes, sizing up Ye Chen and Ye Yan for a moment before turning around and falling silent.

  "Little brother." Ye Yan whispered into Ye Chen's ear, giggling softly: "I'll give you a chance to be my protector."

  "I think you're looking for trouble with me." Ye Chen muttered.

  "What? Not willing to protect your sister?" Ye Yan glared at Ye Chen, who teased: "Willing, of course! I'm your husband, after all. Since I'm your husband, don't you think we should do what husbands and wives are supposed to do?"

  "Die beautifully, less nonsense." Ye Yan rolled her eyes directly.

  Before long, the people in front had all registered, and Hu Yifei turned to leave with a seemingly meaningful glance at Ye Chen and Ye Yan. The smile that rose to his lips made Ye Chen aware that he would definitely do something, but Ye Chen didn't think much of it either. Since they were going to send themselves to death anyway, they might as well fulfill others' wishes, which could also be considered accumulating virtue.

  "Name."

  Leaf color.

  "Where are you from."

  Lincheng.

  "Next." The registrant was a fatty with a big head and ears, but Ye Chen felt that this pig's strength was not low, at least it was a nine-segment peak.

  Ye Chen.

  "Where did you come from."

  Lincheng.

  "Lincheng?" The fat man was startled, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, carefully sizing up Ye Chen. He then shook his head, apparently thinking he had thought too much, that it was just a coincidence to meet someone with the same name and surname from Lincheng. The white-clothed youth in front of him looked harmless and handsome, and no matter how you looked at him, he didn't seem like the Shura Ye Chen.

  Especially when he saw Ye Chen holding a little girl's hand, the fat man was even more certain that this Ye Chen was not the same as the Ye Chen from Lincheng. He had never heard of Ye Chen from the Ye family in Lincheng having a five or six year old girl by his side.

  "Next." The fat man waved his hand, signaling Ye Chen to move aside.

  Ye Chen and Ye Yan walked out of the arena, where they encountered several young people. Each of them was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, with an arrogant look in their eyes. It was an arrogance that came from within, as if it was born into their bones. They looked at everyone with disdain, exuding a strong aura about themselves. Ye Chen's face remained expressionless as he brushed past them.

  "Huh?"

  Just as Ye Chen and Ye Yan were passing by, one of the young men let out a surprised voice, "I didn't expect that in Ying City, apart from the young lady of the Shangguan family, there would be such a heavenly woman. After this big competition, I must get to know her, hehe."

  Ye Chen sneered, those guys were at most 9th rank primary stage cultivators, yet they dared to try and catch Ye Yan's attention. He couldn't help but turn his head to Ye Yan and say: "Sister Yan, I have a suggestion, why don't you find a veil to cover your face? That way, you won't be corrupting innocent young men everywhere."

  "It's nothing, aren't you supposed to be my guardian? I'd like to see if you can take down everyone."

  "You're afraid that the world is too peaceful." Ye Chen was speechless.

  "I'm giving you a chance to show off, who knows, maybe if sister gets excited, she'll really let you be her husband." Ye Yan smiled lightly, her voice soft and seductive.

  "Alright." Ye Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, let out a weak sigh and said, "I guess I'm just unlucky."

  Ye Yan: ......

  At this time, in the backyard of the official residence in Chengdu, within the blessed land, Qin Feng, a disciple of the inner courtyard, wore a light blue shirt, his face slightly pale, obviously still not fully recovered from his internal injuries. However, at this moment, his eyes were colder than ice and snow.

  Shangguan Ziyu wore a long purple dress and walked slowly to Qin Feng's side, saying: "Brother, are you planning to make a move on Ye Chen tonight?"

  "Not bad, half a year of injury, hatred is deeper than the sea. I, a disciple of the inner courtyard of the divine blessed land, a cultivator who has experienced the second life spring in the secret realm of the mortal sea, was actually injured by a mere five-segment flesh ant. This is a great shame and humiliation! Tonight, I will definitely tear him to pieces!" Qin Feng spoke word by word, gritting his teeth, as if the words were bursting out from between his teeth.

  Shangguan Ziyuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about Ye Chen. Although it's rumored that he killed a nine-peak expert in Lincheng, the physical realm is still just the physical realm. However, Brother, you're heavily injured and haven't recovered yet. If you force yourself to mobilize your internal spiritual energy, I'm afraid your injuries will drag on for several more months. Wouldn't that be a loss?"

  "Hmph! Junior sister, the Grand Elder of the Inner Court favors you, and your senior brother has already given enough face to the Upper Official's family. He won't bother with the Ye family anymore, but don't stop me from killing that ant either. That ant must die!" Qin Feng's expression was cold, his voice extremely displeased, clearly still resentful about Upper Official Ziyan protecting the Ye family.

  Shangguan Ziyuan smiled wryly and explained, "Master should know that I was forced by my grandfather's pressure, it was a helpless move. Moreover, our Shen Cifu is also a well-known powerful force in the Eastern State. If we slaughter an entire family because of one person's grudge, it will inevitably damage our reputation. However, as for Ye Chen, if you want to kill him, I won't stop you. I'm just concerned about your injury, Master."

  Qin Feng's face gradually calmed down, and he sat down beside the stone table, saying: "Junior sister, just now senior brother was also momentarily angry, junior sister don't take it to heart." As he spoke, his eyes looked at Shangguan Ziyuan with a warm and gentle gaze, revealing his adoration.

  "How could that be? Junior Sister isn't such a petty person." Shangguan Ziyuan smiled faintly, but in her heart she was extremely disdainful. She had long known Qin Feng's intentions towards her, but to her, Qin Feng was nothing more than a tool to be used.

  Shangguan Ziyu was proud and arrogant, and even felt that there were very few people in the blessed land of God who could make her look up to them. To win her heart, one had to be an extremely outstanding and exceptional talent; otherwise, it would be difficult for him to enter her eyes.

  "Sister, don't get angry, brother's intention is probably understood by sister too. After I kill that ant, I will personally go to the superior officer..."

  Qin Feng hadn't finished speaking when Shangguan Ziyuan spoke up, "Senior brother, you should rest well. Tonight, senior brother killed Ye Chen and vented your anger, and you can also obtain a spiritual weapon of not low quality. Junior sister congratulates senior brother."

  Shangguan Ziyuan finished speaking and didn't wait for Qin Feng to respond before turning around and leaving.

  Seeking flowers, friends with flowers in hand, toss a few over casually.
