Chapter 154: Departure, the goal is the capital to live off a woman.

Another day passed.

Finally.

A range of undulating mountains appeared at the edge of the horizon.

The Azure Dragon Ancient Tomb.

Deep within the mountains, a massive bronze ancient gate stood atop the clouds.

Ancient and weathered.

It radiated a heart-palpitating pressure.

The Azure Dragon Ancient Tomb had been reached.

At this moment.

The square in front of the ancient gate was already crowded with Cultivators.

Various sects and factions had their flags fluttering.

“So many people!”

Qin Yurou exclaimed, leaning over the ship's railing.

Su Ye swept a glance.

There were not only people from the Primordial Origin Holy Land, but also from the Taixuan Holy Land, Yaochi Holy Land, Dayan Holy Land...

And even some members of the Devil Sect mixed in.

A motley crew.

“Is that Su Ye from the Primordial Origin Holy Land?”

“I heard he's a gigolo?”

“But those Junior Sisters of his are top-tier...”

As the Xiaoyao landed, many whispers drifted over.

Some were jealous, some disdainful, others greedy.

Su Ye turned a deaf ear.

He took his three Junior Sisters and swaggered off the ship.

“Yo, isn't this the ‘King of Gigolos’ from Purple Bamboo Peak?”

A harsh voice came.

The crowd parted.

A group of Cultivators in blue and white Daoist robes walked out.

The young man leading them had an effeminate face, was waving a folding fan, and stared at Su Ye with sinister eyes.

The Disciples behind him also wore mocking expressions.

“Is that... Han Feng, the Young Lord of the Cold Ice Gate?”

“I heard he's a Golden Core Stage Ninth Level Prodigy, half a step into the Nascent Soul Realm!”

“He and Wang Teng from Taiqing Peak are sworn brothers. Su Ye is in trouble now.”

The surrounding people began to whisper, watching the show.

Su Ye stopped and looked at Han Feng.

“Are you talking to me?”

“Who else here deserves that title besides you?”

Han Feng sneered, closed his folding fan, and pointed it at Su Ye's nose.

“I heard you injured my brother, Wang Teng?”

“Since we've met today, let's settle old and new debts together.”

“Leave these three women beside you, and I might consider leaving you a whole corpse.”

As soon as these words were spoken.

The whole place was in an uproar.

This was too arrogant!

Trying to snatch people in public?

The faces of the three women behind Su Ye turned cold instantly.

Jiang Wanyin's palm flickered with fire.

Lin Qingzhu's long sword left its scabbard by half an inch.

Qin Yurou... put down the chicken leg in her hand.

Su Ye, however, smiled.

He pressed down on his Junior Sisters who were about to make a move.

Then.

He walked forward slowly.

“What did you say just now...”

“Who do you want to leave behind?”

Su Ye's voice was very soft.

It was so soft it sounded like he was greeting an old friend.

But in the next second.

BOOM!

A terrifying Aura erupted from him.

Although he was only at the Golden Core Stage.

This Aura was mixed with a trace of... the pressure of a Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert!

This was the Qi he had picked up from frequent “Dual Cultivation” with Leng Yueli.

It was what one might call—fox borrowing the tiger's might.

Han Feng's expression changed. He felt a mountain pressing down on him, and breathing became difficult.

“You...”

Slap!

A loud slap.

Crisp and pleasant.

Han Feng spun three times on the spot like a spinning top, then sat on the ground on his butt.

Half his face instantly swelled up like a pig's head.

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Su Ye shook his hand.

As if he had just swatted a fly.

He looked down at Han Feng with cold eyes.

“First, I am not called the King of Gigolos.”

“You can call me... the First Senior Brother of Purple Bamboo Peak, or your Grandpa Su.”

“Second.”

Su Ye bent down and stared into Han Feng's terrified eyes.

Enunciating clearly.

“Are my Junior Sisters someone you can covet?”

“If you dare look again.”

“I will dig out your eyeballs.”

“And step on them like bubbles.”

After saying this.

He stood up straight and looked around.

Wherever his gaze landed, no one dared to meet it.

“Does anyone else have an opinion?”

No one made a sound.

In this cultivation world.

The vicious fear the reckless, and the reckless fear those who don't fear death.

And Su Ye.

Was not only vicious, but also crazy.

Most importantly, behind him stood the female emperor Leng Yueli, who was rumored to have gone mad.

Who dared to provoke him?

“Let's go.”

Su Ye clapped his hands and led his three Junior Sisters, who were looking at him with admiration, straight toward the entrance of the Ancient Tomb.

“Great Senior Brother is so cool!” Qin Yurou whispered.

“Barely passable.” Jiang Wanyin raised the corner of her mouth.

“Mm.” Lin Qingzhu sheathed her sword.

Su Ye listened to the whispers behind him and felt secretly delighted.

That act was perfect.

Full marks.

But he also knew.

The real danger had just begun.

That Han Feng just now was just a brainless cannon fodder.

In the crowd.

Several obscure Auras had been locking onto him.

“It seems this trip to the Azure Dragon Ancient Tomb...”

Su Ye touched the Beauty-Preserving Pill in his bosom.

“Wanting to eat as a gigolo peacefully is really not easy.”

Rumble—

Just then.

The bronze ancient gate that had been closed for a thousand years.

Opened.

A vast and ancient Aura poured out like a flood.

“Charge!”

“The Opportunity is mine!”

Countless Cultivators surged in like a swarm of fish.

“Stay close to me.”

Su Ye gave a low shout.

He grabbed Qin Yurou with one hand and Jiang Wanyin with the other.

As for Lin Qingzhu...

She grabbed Su Ye's sleeve herself.

The four of them turned into light and submerged into the dark portal.

...

Behind the gate.

Was not an Immortal Cave.

But a blood-colored wasteland.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, emitting an eerie light.

“This is...”

Su Ye frowned.

This was not what was described in the original text!

In the original text, shouldn't it be a medicine garden filled with birds and flowers after entering the gate?

How did it become a slaughterhouse?

“Hehehe...”

A sinister laugh came from all directions.

“Fresh flesh...”

“It's been a long time since I smelled such a fragrant scent...”

The ground began to shake.

Countless white, bony arms reached out from the soil.

An army of the undead!

“Damn it!”

Su Ye couldn't help but curse.

“The script is wrong!”

“Is this the butterfly effect of me transmigrating into the book?”

But that wasn't the point.

The point is.

In front of them, a bone dragon as tall as a ten-story building was glaring at them with two balls of ghostly green fire.

Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beast!

Bone Dragon!

“Great Senior Brother...”

Qin Yurou's chicken leg fell out of her hand in fright, “This one... doesn't seem like we can beat it.”

“No kidding!”

Su Ye's scalp went numb.

Hell mode right from the start?

He subconsciously reached for the jade talisman in his sleeve.

That was the life-saving trump card given by his Revered Master.

But just then.

The bone dragon suddenly moved.

It didn't attack.

But lowered its huge head, leaned in front of Su Ye, and took a deep breath.

In those two balls of ghost fire, there was actually a trace of... doubt?

And a trace of... awe?

“This smell...”

An old voice exploded directly in Su Ye's mind.

“Taichu... Purple Bamboo...”

“That female devil... What is she to you?”

Su Ye was stunned.

Female devil?

Could it be... Revered Master?

His eyes rolled.

He immediately straightened his back.

“Ahem.”

“Since you asked so sincerely.”

“Then I will tell you mercifully.”

Su Ye pointed to the sky.

“That female devil.”

“Is my—child's mother!”

BOOM!

The whole place (although it was only bones) was dead silent.

The three Junior Sisters widened their eyes.

The bone dragon was also stunned.

Child's... mother?

Absolute silence.

It was as if even the wind had stopped moving.

The bone dragon's two ghostly green fireballs flickered violently.

It was as if it had been choked.

It tilted its huge head, its jawbone “clicked,” seemingly digesting this earth-shattering information.

“Child's... mother?”

Behind Su Ye.

The expressions of the three Junior Sisters were even more colorful.

The chicken leg in Qin Yurou's hand fell to the ground with a “plop.”

Jiang Wanyin's elegant round fan froze in mid-air.

Even Lin Qingzhu, who was usually expressionless, had her mouth twitch uncontrollably, her eyes full of shock and... Killing Intent.

“Cough.”

Su Ye kept a straight face.

But his heart was beating to his throat.

Gamble.

Gamble that since this old dragon recognizes Revered Master's Aura, it must have been beaten by Revered Master.

“What?”

Su Ye stepped forward and took out the jade talisman that still carried body temperature from his sleeve.

He held it high.

The Aura of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was released without reservation.

Although it was only a trace.

But in this world, it was enough to suppress everything.

“Do you want me to call her over to reminisce with you?”

Hum—

The jade talisman circulated with purple light.

That was the unique spiritual power fluctuation of Purple Bamboo Peak of the Primordial Origin Holy Land.

Vaguely, one could even see a peerless phantom, flickering in and out.

“Roar—”

The bone dragon let out a low roar.

Not in anger.

In fear.

Fear from the depths of its Soul.

Its huge body couldn't help but shrink back, kicking up a cloud of dust.

That female devil...

Three hundred years ago, she had broken into this place alone, dismantled half its bones to make soup.

This Aura, it couldn't be wrong.

And this jade talisman... is a life-bound jade talisman.

If it were not for someone extremely intimate, it would be impossible to possess.

Could it be...

What this kid said is true?

That female devil, really gave birth... no, really has a man?

“I dare not, I dare not...”

The old voice rang in Su Ye's mind again, with a trace of trembling and flattery.

“Since it is... the family of that Great One.”

“Please pass.”

Clatter—

The bone dragon's huge body actually lay directly on the ground, turning its white bones into a bridge.

It even thoughtfully swept away the rubble on the road with its tail.

“You are sensible.”

Su Ye put away the jade talisman and snorted coldly.

His back was already soaked with cold sweat.

That was close.

Almost wiped out the whole village.

“Let's go.”

Su Ye waved his hand, carried his hands behind his back, and stepped onto the bone bridge first.

That back view.

Desolate, arrogant.

And pretentious.

Behind him, the three Junior Sisters looked at each other, but finally hurried to follow.

Only, those eyes, no matter how you looked at it, looked wrong.

...

Passing through the bone wasteland.

The front suddenly opened up.

It was a gray forest, the trees dry and twisted, like the claws of a ghost.

The air was filled with a decaying smell.

“Great Senior Brother.”

Jiang Wanyin walked quickly two steps, caught up with Su Ye, and her body was almost stuck to him.

Her breath was like an orchid.

“Just now... what you said is true?”

At this question.

Lin Qingzhu and Qin Yurou also pricked up their ears.

Especially Lin Qingzhu, who gripped her sword even tighter.

“What is true?”

Su Ye looked straight ahead and continued to walk forward.

“That is...”

Jiang Wanyin bit her red lips, her eyes resentful.

“The ‘child's mother’ part.”

“Oh, that.”

Su Ye stopped and turned around.

Looking at three pairs of eyes full of thirst for knowledge (and Killing Intent).

He sighed.

With a look of unfathomable mystery.

"The Art of War says: 'When you are strong, appear weak; when you are weak, appear strong.'"

"When facing a powerful enemy, attacking the mind is paramount."

"If I hadn't said that, would that old Dragon have let us pass? It probably would have sprayed a breath of dragon fire at us long ago."

"This is called wisdom."

"Understand?"

Su Ye reached out and flicked Qin Yurou on the forehead.

"But..."

Qin Yurou covered her forehead, looking aggrieved. "Just now, Senior Brother, you sounded so sincere, as if... as if you really had something going on with her."

"..."

Su Ye's mouth twitched.

Something going on?

More than just something.

It was practically his whole being and heart that had been committed.

But could he say that?

No.

If he said it, he would be beaten to death.

Beaten to death by Revered Master, or drowned by these three jealous jars.

"Nonsense!"

Su Ye straightened his face, bringing out his Senior Brother authority.

"What kind of person is Revered Master?"

"A flower on a high ridge, pure and pristine."

"How could she possibly take a fancy to a... a mediocre Disciple like me?"

"I was just borrowing her influence."

"Borrowing Revered Master's influence, acting like a fox assuming the tiger's ferocity, understand?"

Su Ye's words were spoken with righteous indignation.

Even he almost believed it himself.

"That's true."

Jiang Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, which heaved like waves.

"Revered Master's personality, aside from Cultivating, is just seclusion; she probably doesn't even know what a man tastes like."

"Although Senior Brother is a bit handsome, your Aptitude... ahem."

"It really isn't a good match."

Su Ye: ...

Although you are trying to comfort yourself, why does that sound so heart-stabbing?

"Alright, enough nonsense."

Su Ye interrupted their wild thoughts. "There's movement ahead."

The words had barely left his lips.

From deep within the forest, sounds of intense fighting erupted.

Accompanied by explosions of Spiritual Power and screams.

"Let's go take a look."

Su Ye's eyes lit up.

That was... the smell of soft rice.

...

Forest clearing.

Two groups of people were confronting each other.

Several corpses lay on the ground, blood staining the black earth red.

On the left was a group of Cultivators dressed in yellow robes, with the characters "Thick Earth" embroidered on their chests.

Thick Earth Sect.

On the right was a group of black-clad men, masked, exuding a cold, sinister Evil Qi.

Devil Cultivators.

And in the middle of the two groups.

Grew a small, entirely blood-red plant, bearing a crystal-clear fruit at its top.

"Blood Bodhi!"

Lin Qingzhu whispered, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"This is the main ingredient for refining the 'Breakthrough Pill'. If consumed, it can increase the chance of forming a Nascent Soul by thirty percent."

Good stuff!

Su Ye rubbed his chin.

This Azure Dragon Ancient Tomb is truly filled with treasures everywhere.

"Hehehe..."

The leader of the black-clad men gave a weird laugh, his ghost-head blade dripping with blood.

"This Blood Bodhi belongs to our Yin Sha Sect."

"If you don't want to die, get lost!"

"Bullshit!"

An Elder from the Thick Earth Sect roared, "We clearly discovered this Spirit Medicine first!"

"Since that's the case..."

The leader of the black-clad men's eyes turned cold. "Then none of you are leaving; it's perfect to use you to sacrifice to my Hundred Ghost Banner!"

Boom!

Both sides clashed again.

Blades flashed and swords darted, flesh and blood flew.

Su Ye hid behind a dead tree, watching with great interest.

He even held a handful of melon seeds in his hand.

"Senior Brother, aren't we going to help?"

Qin Yurou asked in a low voice, feeling a bit scared looking at the bloody scene.

"Help who?"

Su Ye cracked a melon seed. "That's dog eating dog."

"Besides."

"We are decent people, how can we just fight and kill?"

"Wait until they are done fighting, then we will go... reason with them."

This is what is called.

The snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman catches them both.

A moment later.

The battle neared its end.

The Thick Earth Sect was wiped out.

The Yin Sha Sect also suffered heavy losses, with only the leader and two subordinates left, all of them wounded.

"Hahaha!"

The black-clad leader laughed wildly, reaching out for the Blood Bodhi.

"It's mine!"

Swoosh—

A sword beam.

Fast as lightning.

Directly severed his arm.

"Ah—"

The black-clad leader screamed, clutching his severed arm and retreating.

"Who?!"

"Since you asked so sincerely."

Su Ye brushed the melon seed shells off his hands and walked out slowly.

Behind him followed three murderous-looking beautiful girls.

"This road is opened by me, this tree is planted by me."

"If you want to pass this way, leave your toll money."

The black-clad leader's face was twisted. "Primordial Origin Holy Land? Purple Bamboo Peak?"

"It's you again, you pretty boy!"

Su Ye's expression darkened.

"In my life."

"I hate it most when others call me a pretty boy."

"Second Junior Sister, Third Junior Sister."

"As long as you don't kill them, play however you want."

"Yes!"

Jiang Wanyin and Lin Qingzhu, who had been holding back a belly full of fire, instantly rushed out.

"Blazing Fire Prairie!"

"Listening Rain Sword Intent!"

Boom boom boom!

Burning with fire, stabbing with swords.

This is hardly a battle.

This is simply a one-sided massacre.

Those few low-health Devil Cultivators didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before they were beaten until their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

"Spare... spare my life..."

The black-clad leader lay on the ground, on the verge of death.

"Asking for mercy now, it's too late."

Su Ye walked over and skillfully removed his Storage Pouch.

He scanned it with his Divine Sense.

Yo.

Still a fat sheep.

Two thousand Spirit Stones, various Medicinal Pills and Magical Artifacts.

"Thanks to nature's gift."

Su Ye smiled as he put away the Storage Pouch, and then casually plucked the Blood Bodhi.

"This can also count as compensation for emotional distress."

After saying this.

He kicked the black-clad leader unconscious.

"Let's go."

This whole process.

Smooth as flowing water.

So practiced it makes people's hearts ache.

...

Night fell.

There is no sun in the Azure Dragon Ancient Tomb, but there is a blood moon.

The group from Purple Bamboo Peak found a dry cave to stay in.

The campfire flickered.

On the rack, a wild boar Yao Beast, caught from who knows where, was roasting.

Sizzling with oil.

The aroma was overflowing.

Qin Yurou was concentrating on sprinkling seasonings.

This is her forte.

"So fragrant!"

Jiang Wanyin swallowed her saliva, wanting to reach out to tear off a piece of meat.

"Slap."

Qin Yurou slapped her hand away.

"It's not cooked yet!"

"Save the best piece for Senior Brother first."

Jiang Wanyin pouted, "Little bootlicker."

Su Ye leaned against the cave wall, watching this scene, his heart filled with peace.

This is life.

If there were no fighting and killing, just farming on the mountain, raising pigs, teasing the Junior Sisters, and then with Revered Master...

Ahem.

Thinking too far ahead.

"I'm going outside to keep watch."

Su Ye stood up and brushed the dust off his butt.

"Senior Brother, be careful," Lin Qingzhu urged.

"Don't worry, just at the cave entrance."

Su Ye walked out of the cave.

The night wind was slightly cool.

Carrying a hint of blood.

He confirmed there was no one around, then took out the jade talisman from his sleeve.

Carefully injecting a trace of Spiritual Power.

Hum.

The jade talisman lit up.

A cold and familiar voice rang directly in his mind.

"Not dead yet?"

Su Ye's mouth curled up.

This is Revered Master's unique way of caring.

"Thanks to Revered Master's blessing, I'm living well."

Su Ye lowered his voice, his tone becoming gentle. "Revered Master, I miss you."

Silence.

The other side was silent for a long time.

Only then did a soft hum come through.

"Slippery tongue."

"I heard it."

Su Ye was stunned. "Heard what?"

"The mother of the child."

Leng Yueli's voice carried a hint of shyness and annoyance, and also a hint of... imperceptible joy.

"You really dare to say it."

"Ruining my reputation."

"When you come back, see if I don't tear your mouth apart."

Su Ye's back felt cold.

But his heart was warm.

He knew.

Since Revered Master said that, she wasn't really angry.

"That... is only a matter of time."

Su Ye boldly teased, "Disciple is just adapting to the role in advance."

"Get lost!"

A coquettish scolding came from the other side.

Immediately.

The tone softened again.

"Pay attention to safety."

"Deep in that Ancient Tomb, there is an Aura that even I cannot fathom."

"If you encounter danger, crush the jade talisman."

"Revered Master... is always here."

The last four words.

As light as a feather.

Yet they hit Su Ye's heart heavily.

"I know."

Su Ye gripped the jade talisman tightly, as if he held the whole world. "Revered Master must also eat obediently, don't always abstain from grains, it's not good for your health."

"Nagging."

Communication cut off.

Su Ye looked at the jade talisman in his hand and chuckled for a while.

This soft rice.

Really fragrant.

I wouldn't get tired of eating it for a lifetime.

"Senior Brother?"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Su Ye was startled.

The jade talisman in his hand almost flew out.

Turning back to look.

It was Lin Qingzhu.

She was holding her sword, standing in the shadows, her eyes a bit complex.

"Who were you talking to?"

"Laughing... so disgustingly."

Su Ye: ...

Do you know how to chat?

This is called a happy smile, understand?

"No one."

Su Ye calmly put away the jade talisman. "Talking to myself, relieving some pressure."

"Is that so?"

Lin Qingzhu looked at him suspiciously.

Just now she clearly felt that familiar Spiritual Power fluctuation.

That was... Revered Master's Aura?

Senior Brother was communicating with Revered Master?

But.

Do ordinary Revered Master-Disciple communications need to hide from people?

And Senior Brother's expression just now...

It was clearly moved by spring heart!

Could it be...

Lin Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat.

An absurd thought popped up.

Senior Brother and Revered Master...

No.

Impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

What kind of person is Revered Master, how could she take a fancy to someone like Senior Brother... an eater of soft rice?

Lin Qingzhu shook her head, throwing this terrible thought out of her mind.

"The meat is roasted."

"Junior Sister is calling you to eat."

Lin Qingzhu said, then turned and left.

Only her back was a bit stiff.

Su Ye rubbed his nose.

It seems.

I have to be more careful in the future.

This woman's intuition is even sharper than a dog's nose.

...

Back inside the cave.

The atmosphere was lively.

Qin Yurou's cooking skills were truly impeccable; the wild boar meat was roasted crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, one bite and the juices overflowed.

"Senior Brother, eat this, this is the kidney, it's nourishing!"

Jiang Wanyin giggled and handed over a blackened piece of something.

"..."

Su Ye glared at her.

"I don't need nourishment."

"I am very strong."

"Yes, yes, yes, Senior Brother is the strongest."

Jiang Wanyin replied perfunctorily, but her eyes scanned Su Ye up and down, carrying a hint of provocation.

"I wonder which girl will get lucky in the future."

"Anyway, not you."

Su Ye bit into the meat and said vaguely.

"Hmph."

Jiang Wanyin gave a coquettish snort, and using the drunkenness as an excuse, she almost fell into Su Ye's arms.

Lin Qingzhu watched coldly from the side.

The sword scabbard in her hand poked small holes in the ground.
