Chapter 289: Chapter 277: Farewell
“Hurry up.” Ling’er shouted.
“Your wound is healed too, but it’s not good to touch and feel on the road, let’s go back to the room and ss around.” Ye Chen picked up Ling’er and turned towards the yard.
“Who’s ssing around with you, hurry up, I’m hungry too.”
“I thought you’d be full just by being romantic in that pond.”
Ling’er held his neck with one hand and twisted his ear with the other.
Ye Chen said: “As a girl, you shouldn’t act like a monkey.”
She twisted Ye Chen’s ear and quickly subdued him, “Okay, I won’t say anything.”
It was like being on daddy’s back.
Their laughter was heard before they even entered, and Wan Lan, who was already in the yard, hardly believed it. “Do the two of you really think the streets are your room?”
“Get down quickly, or I’ll throw you down.”
Ling’er jumped down and shouted at the top of her lungs: “Hurry up and get two roast chickens.”
Under Ling’er’s command, two girls were already out to get the chickens.
Wan Lan was sowhat surprised, asking, “You two seem quite happy, could it be that you’re getting married tomorrow?”
“Hehe, this young lady is even more eager than we are,” Ye Chen said.
Ling’er poured two cups of tea and drank it all at once.
“What did the sect leader want to talk to Ye Chen about?”
“Of course it’s about the wedding,” Ye Chen said.
“How could that be possible? I heard Sky Domain City is already in chaos.” Wan Lan said.
“You know, and you’re still asking,” Ye Chen said.
“Ye Chen, you are going to Sky Domain City tomorrow, right?” Mu Wanlan knew the sect leader valued Ye Chen and would certainly give him such an important mission.
“You’ve guessed it,” Ye Chen said.
“Really going to Sky Domain City? Will Ling’er also go with you?”
Ling’er said, “I’m not going.”
“You’re going to let him go alone?”
Ye Chen said, “What’s there to worry about?”
“It will be terrible if he brings back a young woman.” Mu Wanlan said.
“Good idea, really a great idea, I heard that the beauties of Sky Domain City are the most nurous among the many cities in the Wastelands. If I really help Yuan nhai push back the Zen Master, he must give
a beauty as a gift”, Ye Chen said.
“Can you get a pot of hot tea instead of daydreaming here?” Ling’er shouted.
Ye Chen laughed softly after hearing this.
Soon, the other two girls brought back the roasted chicken, and Wan Lan brewed another pot of hot tea.
“It slls so good.” Ye Chen couldn’t wait, not waiting for others to command, and prepared to start.
“Can you wash your hands first.” Ling’er pushed him away. In fact, it would be great if Ye Chen could really help his father in New City and share his burdens.
He stood up and shouted, “Keep two chicken legs for .”
“Okay.” Ling’er said.
As soon as Ye Chen left, she said, “Quickly tear off the chicken legs for .”
When he ca back, the chicken legs were all gone, and there was one in Ling’er’s hand.
“Hey, how can you do this?”
“If you don’t eat the wings, there won’t be any left.” Ling’er said.
Wan Lan laughed heartily.
“You just need to eat one, why did you take two?” Ye Chen said.
“You better hurry up, or else there won’t be anything left.” Ling’er said.
“Really, you said you weren’t hungry.”
Ling’er laughed softly after hearing this.
The night was getting deeper.
“Nothing else is going to happen, right?” Wan Lan asked worriedly.
“There’s nothing else you can do, you just eat,” Ye Chen said.
“You’re talking about yourself, at our house, for this period of ti, you’ve probably put on five or six more pounds.”
“How do you know.”
“Everybody can tell,” Wan Lan said.
“Don’t scare , I only feel like I’ve lost a lot of weight since coming here.”
“You’ve lost a lot of weight, you don’t do any exercise and only eat, how could you lose weight?”
“I’m always thinking about things for the New City Sect, you know, I’m really worried.”
“Who believes that?”
After eating two roast chicken legs, Ling’er was almost full.
Ye Chen could eat a bit, it was as if he hadn’t had dinner.
“You should slow down.”
“Slower? There are no chicken wings left.”
Ling’er smirked coldly and poured him a cup of tea.
He finished it at one gulp.
Wan Lan said, “That’s true, since Ling’er is injured, it’s really not suitable for her to go.”
Ye Chen kept eating.
“Why can’t Sky Domain City hold up so quickly.”
“Then you have to go and ask Yuan nhai,” Ye Chen said.
Ling’er took a mont, looked at the night sky, tonight’s stars were plentiful, more than ever, and especially bright, twinkling.
Wei Sisan initially wanted to go himself, but due to Jiang Zhuge’s persuasion, he refrained. He indeed felt that Ye Chen was the most suitable candidate, given his knowledge of Ye Chen’s capabilities and martial arts skills. Consequently, he decided to increase the team size to one thousand people.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, people had already started assembling in the plaza.
Ling’er had also woken up.
When Ye Chen ca out, she was already having breakfast at the door. Surprised, Ye Chen exclaid, “Hey, why are you up already?.”
“It’s late.”, Ling’er replied while eating her breakfast.
“Ah, there’s no need to worry this much. In the blink of an eye, I’ll be back in two or three days, so why bother?” Ye Chen knew she was worried.
“Co and eat; we’ll be leaving soon.”
“Not anyti soon.” Ye Chen continued, “Yuan nhai should still be able to hold on. If they can’t even hold onto a city for a few days, it truly is a little embarrassing.”
“Hurry, wash your face and eat.”
Ye Chen washed his face and ca over.
The morning fog was sowhat dense.
“You’ve got quite a spread for breakfast! Seems like you’ve put in a lot of effort.”
“Hehe, don’t flatter yourself. These were all requisitioned from the plaza. A group of people are about to leave today.”
“Well, it is quite a spread.” Ye Chen joined her.
“Be careful and don’t think that you’re invincible. You just haven’t encountered any real masters yet.” Ling’er was still a bit worried.
“I’ve never thought of myself as invincible.”
“A little humility wouldn’t hurt,” Ling’er suggested.
“You didn’t stay up all night worrying about , did you?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“I’m aware of your concern, but you have to trust . This is a small endeavour, and I can resolve it quickly.”
“Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched, thinking you can resolve it in a jiffy. The Zen Master is not soone to be underestimated.”
“I know, having experienced it before. I still have so confidence. Don’t worry, when I return, I’ll bring soone prettier to serve you. How about that?”
Wan Lan, who just ca from outside, interjected, “This guy! He can’t leave without stirring the pot and hitting a nerve.”
“He can’t stir . I’ve gotten used to it already.” Ling’er replied.
“Hehe, next ti, when I get serious, you won’t say that anymore.”
Ling’er of course knew he was saying this on purpose.
“Have they all assembled?” Ye Chen asked Wan Lan, who returned with food.
“Not yet, rest assured. They are all waiting for you, young master.”
“Hehe, of course, without , they wouldn’t be complete.”
“You think you can do anything.”
“This guy has always been like this, and soday he’s going to trip and fall.” Ling’er added.
“Actually, I’ve already tripped and fallen once, so there should be no more tripping and falling for .” Ye Chen retorted.
“You need to stumble real bad once, and then you’ll be all right.”
Wan Lan interjected, “Hehe, we’re setting off today, let’s not talk about such unlucky things.”
“You still believe in that?” Ye Chen continued, “If I encounter the Zen Master again this ti, I’ll have to give him a good fight.”
“Don’t just think about fighting, the overall situation is the most important,” Ling’er advised cautiously.
“I know, I will prioritize the big picture.”
“Hurry up and eat. Once you’re on the road, you won’t have it this good. Not like in this courtyard where you’re waited on hand and foot.”
“Don’t worry, I will find a maid who can serve
as soon as possible, and it will be even more comfortable than staying in this courtyard.” Ye Chen replied.
“I’ll give back the Red Demonic Spirit to you. Take good care of yourself.” Ling’er said, knowing that he would need the Red Demonic Spirit at this ti.
“Honestly, I’m a bit uncomfortable with this. I’ve always been carefree, alone, without any worries. Suddenly, you’re asking
to take care of myself, it’s as if there’s an added burden, it feels odd.”
“What’s odd!”
“It’s like having an extra responsibility.”
“Hurry up, eat and leave. I’m tired of seeing you.” Ling’er retorted.
“I know your words don’t reflect your feelings; I understand.”
Ling’er put down her chopsticks, “To tell the truth, I want to go with you.”
“Heh, if that’s the case, you’re being a bit stubborn.”
“I know, I won’t go with you and affect your plans.”
After finishing breakfast in an hour, Ling’er joined Ye Chen in the bustling assembly plaza; by this ti, almost everyone had arrived.
News ca that another two hundred people had been added.
Ye Chen found Wei Sisan and asked, “Wasn’t it eight hundred people? Why is it suddenly a thousand?”
“Taking more people might co in handy.”
“But suddenly mobilizing a thousand people makes Wasteland City stretched thin.”
Wei Sisan laughed, “Stretching thin? Here, it’s enough. You just need to get the job done.”
“Alright.”
“I’m pretty comfortable with you and Jiang Zhuge working together.”
“Hehe, thank you for your trust.”
At this ti, Jiang Zhuge ca over.
After Wei Sisan greeted Jiang Zhuge, Jiang Zhuge said, “We can depart at any ti.”
“Okay, take care on the road.”
“Don’t worry. After we help the Sky Domain Sect and drive away the Dragon Clan, we will return.” Jiang Zhuge assured him.
“Okay, no need to hurry. Just get the job done first.”
Ye Chen looked at Ling’er and said, “Hey, I won’t keep you any longer. I really hate goodbyes and wish that we’ll never have to say goodbye again in the future. I can’t handle this kind of atmosphere.”
“Take care of yourself.”
