710: ill intentions

At the same time, Li Yaohui of South Heaven Peak and Huang Ruoyu of Jade Maiden Peak also received news regarding Yang Lingchen.

Compared to Eastern Sword, these two harbored a hatred for Yang Lingchen that was even more intense.

Li Yaohui, in particular, after having an arm severed by Yang Lingchen, swore he would tear the other man into ten thousand pieces to avenge his lost limb.

Jade Maiden Peak.

"Tsk... tsk... such a slender waist, such perky buttocks."

Yang Lingchen admired the warbling female Disciples while pruning tree branches.

He was in high spirits, wandering among the flowers every day. Although these 'flowers' could not be picked, it didn't stop him from appreciating the beautiful scenery.

"Yang Lingchen."

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out behind Yang Lingchen, making his heart tremble. "Holy crap, Fuck! This is way too unlucky!"

"Cough... cough...!"

Yang Lingchen slowly turned his head, gave a light cough, and said sheepishly, "Senior Sister Huang, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?"

"Stinky brat! Hand over the Sky-reaching Spirit Python inner core, or don't blame me for being impolite." Huang Ruoyu's exquisite Face was covered in a layer of frost, and a cold Killing Intent emanated from her body.

"Sorry, Senior Sister Huang, I have already refined the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's inner core."

Yang Lingchen said through gritted teeth. Although the inner core was still in his hands, it was impossible for him to hand it over.

"Stinky brat, who are you trying to fool? Is a Profound Immortal Realm Yao Beast inner core something you could possibly refine?" Huang Ruoyu snorted coldly.

Naturally, she did not believe the nonsense Yang Lingchen was saying.

A Profound Immortal Realm Yao Beast inner core contained terrifying energy. A Cultivator at the Second Layer of the True Immortal Realm could not possibly refine it; even she would have to spend a considerable amount of effort to do so.

"Senior Sister Huang, I really have refined the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's inner core."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he revealed his Immortal Essence Power. "Look at my cultivation. Before, I was only at the Early Stage of the Second Layer of the True Immortal Realm, and now I'm already at the Peak of the Third Layer. If I hadn't refined the Sky-reaching Spirit Python's inner core, how could I have made a Breakthrough so quickly?"

"Bastard, you really refined it?"

Huang Ruoyu's eyes widened, and her peerless Face was so angry she almost started smoking.

"Mm...!"

Yang Lingchen nodded weakly. He really hadn't expected that Huang Ruoyu was also a Disciple of Jade Maiden Peak.

"This time I'm really screwed. It looks like I have no choice but to act like a grandson." Yang Lingchen was extremely depressed.

"You bastard, if I don't beat you to death today, my name isn't Huang Ruoyu."

A cold light flashed in Huang Ruoyu's eyes. She swung her slender right hand and instantly sent a slap toward Yang Lingchen.

With the help of the Immortal Profound Fruit, Huang Ruoyu's cultivation had already broken through to the First Layer of Profound Immortal Realm.

If Yang Lingchen hadn't snatched the Sky-reaching Spirit Python, she might have already reached the Second Layer by now. Since Eastern Sword was her loyal simp, he would never have competed with her for the inner core.

Upon learning that Yang Lingchen was a Utility Disciple of Jade Maiden Peak, Huang Ruoyu had rushed to find him, intending to reclaim the inner core.

What she didn't expect was that such a precious item had actually been refined by a mere Utility Disciple like Yang Lingchen. How could she not be furious?

Facing Huang Ruoyu's indignant slap, Yang Lingchen knew he was definitely going to take a beating today.

He thought about fighting back but ultimately gave up. Women were unreasonable creatures; once they went crazy, the consequences were unimaginable.

Since she wanted to hit him, he would let her. If he fought back, it would only make her even angrier.

At this critical moment, Yang Lingchen quickly channeled all his Immortal Essence Power, protecting his Face with one hand and his crotch with the other, curling his body up.

However, Yang Lingchen also knew she wouldn't dare kill him because the rules of Jade Maiden Peak were very strict.

Killing a fellow Disciple at will, even if they were just a Utility Disciple, would result in severe punishment for the perpetrator.

Bang... bang... bang!

"Damn Old Hag, you just wait. Sooner or later, I'm going to slap you back," Yang Lingchen cursed inwardly.

Faced with the violent Huang Ruoyu, he could only passively take the beating.

The gap in their strength was simply too large. Moreover, Huang Ruoyu was a Prodigy among those at the same level. To defeat her, Yang Lingchen's cultivation would need to reach at least the Sixth Layer of the True Immortal Realm.

"Is Huang Ruoyu crazy? Why is she bullying Yang Lingchen?"

"Yeah! I bet she tried to pursue Yang Lingchen, and he didn't agree, so she's taking revenge."

"I think so too. Who knew she usually acts like such a Saintess, but is actually so filthy in private? If I were Yang Lingchen, I definitely wouldn't like a woman like her."

"Let's say less. Huang Ruoyu is the Peak Master's newly recruited Personal Disciple. Offending her won't do us any good."

"You're right. Although her cultivation isn't as high as ours right now, she is the Peak Master's Disciple after all. It's only a matter of time before she surpasses us."

For a moment, many Jade Maiden Peak Disciples began to gossip, but no one stepped forward to stop it.

"Stop!"

Just then, a cold voice rang out. Xia Qingyue's figure appeared ethereal as she slowly landed in front of Yang Lingchen.

"Elder Xia, help!" Seeing this, Yang Lingchen quickly hid behind Xia Qingyue.

"What's going on?" Xia Qingyue looked coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Elder Xia, Senior Sister Huang intended to do something improper to me. I resisted with all my might, and in her embarrassment and anger, she started beating me," Yang Lingchen said with a look of grievance.

"I never thought Huang Ruoyu was that kind of woman."

"What's so surprising? This Yang Lingchen looks like a pretty boy; who wouldn't feel an itch looking at him? Plus, our Jade Maiden Peak is full of female Disciples. It's quite normal for Huang Ruoyu to have ill intentions toward him."

"Don't say, this Yang Lingchen guy really does have a certain charm, and the more you look at him, the more handsome he gets. If he doesn't mind, I'd really like to have some fun with him."

"You little hussy, even if you lined up, it wouldn't be your turn. Plenty of people in our Jade Maiden Peak like him. Last time I even saw Zhou Zhiruo groping him. If someone hadn't passed by then, he probably would've been eaten up by her already."

As soon as Yang Lingchen's words fell, a huge uproar broke out. Many female Disciples began pointing and whispering at Huang Ruoyu and Yang Lingchen.

"Bastard, you're shameless!"

At this moment, Huang Ruoyu's Face turned a furious red. She raised her hand and sent a sharp palm strike directly toward Yang Lingchen's Face.

She had seen shameless people, but never anyone this brazenly thick-skinned.

"Stop!" Xia Qingyue waved her sleeve, easily neutralizing Huang Ruoyu's attack.

"Elder Xia, this bastard is talking nonsense! He dares to slander my purity! Today, I will definitely cripple him!" Huang Ruoyu looked at Yang Lingchen in rage.

"Huang Ruoyu, the rules of Jade Maiden Peak were personally set by your Revered Master. I have already stopped you once. If you still insist on fighting at Jade Maiden Peak, then don't blame this Elder for handling things officially." Xia Qingyue's eyes turned sharp, and a cold chill emanated from her body.

Xia Qingyue didn't believe Yang Lingchen's nonsense either, but after all, she was the one who recruited him, and he did his job well, so she stepped in to save him once.

"Yang Lingchen, today I'll let you off for Elder Xia's sake. Don't let me see you again, or I'll make sure you regret it."

Huang Ruoyu glared coldly at Yang Lingchen and then drifted away.

Xia Qingyue was a powerful Elder of Jade Maiden Peak, and all matters, big and small, were under her jurisdiction. Her status at Jade Maiden Peak was second only to the Peak Master, so Huang Ruoyu did not dare to offend her too deeply.
