Xue Xiao’s face revealed a sinister smile, as if he had already foreseen Ye Ming lying in a pool of blood, his mouth still incessantly saying, "Trash like you that doesn’t follow the principles of science should have disappeared long ago."
Little did he know, all of this was already within Ye Ming’s grasp.
After advancing to the Lower Yellow Rank, Ye Ming’s sensory abilities had greatly increased, and he was able to capture the slightest movent of the wind and grass around him, let alone a person.
With a loud bang, Xue Xiao’s body went flying backward, crashing heavily into the ground.
Xu Lele breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face also vanished, imdiately summoning two bodyguards to throw Xue Xiao out.
This ti, Xue Xiao had lost face and substance, defeated thoroughly.
Ye Ming, I’m really sorry; I didn’t expect things to turn out this way."
Xu Lele said apologetically.
Ye Ming waved his hand, saying indifferently, "This isn’t your fault, as long as your illness is nothing serious, it’s all good."
Xu Lele nodded, her smile returning as she asked, "You’ve helped so much; what kind of reward would you like?"
Ye Ming waved his hand again: "Miss Xu, you’re too polite. You already paid a consultation fee last ti."
Xu Lele pouted and said, "That was last ti; this is different. How about, I be your girlfriend?"
After Xu Lele said this, she stared straight into his eyes, causing Ye Ming’s face to turn red, not knowing how to respond.
It would be a lie to say he wasn’t moved; a girl like Xu Lele, whether in terms of appearance, figure, or family background, scored full marks in every aspect.
But Ye Ming was just a penniless poor young man, without money or a house, and even had been cuckolded by his ex-girlfriend.
The two of them simply weren’t a match.
Therefore, when Xu Lele brought it up again, Ye Ming really didn’t know what to say.
Perhaps sensing Ye Ming’s awkwardness and not wanting the atmosphere to beco more uncomfortable, Xu Lele quickly said, "Of course, whatever you want, I can also agree to it, like money, or having !"
Xia Ningning watched as Xu Lele beca so deeply infatuated she couldn’t extricate herself, getting so upset that she couldn’t bear to look directly, and not knowing how to even start to persuade her.
Only after much contemplation did Ye Ming say, "Miss Xu, please stop joking with ."
"If you really want to repay , then agree to a few conditions."
Xu Lele agreed without hesitation, asking, "What conditions?"
Ye Ming said, "I haven’t thought of them yet. I’ll let you know when I have."
"But rest assured, the conditions I’ll propose will all be within your capabilities."
Seeing Ye Ming say this, Xu Lele had no choice but to agree.
In reality, Ye Ming was just brushing it off; he was only doing the good deed thoroughly, helping to prepare the dicine and curing Xu Lele’s illness because he had accepted a million yuan from her last ti.
As for proposing any conditions, Ye Ming had never thought about it.
After dealing with these matters, Ye Ming couldn’t wait to go to the rooftop balcony of the villa, where he sat cross-legged, greedily absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy.
The Spirit Qi Vortex once again condensed around him, entering his body at a visibly fast rate.
Just the ti it took to brew a cup of tea, the True Qi that had been expended was already reabsorbed. There was now an abundant supply of True Qi in Ye Ming’s Dantian, and in fact, he had reached the bottleneck for a breakthrough.
Ye Ming closed his eyes tightly, gathered his energy with focused intent, and rapidly circulated his Inner True Qi.
Before long, there was a ’bang’ in his mind, and the bottleneck was broken. He had directly reached the Interdiate Yellow Rank.
He was overjoyed, suprely delighted; he hadn’t expected such gains from this excursion, making it worthwhile.
Unfortunately, the surrounding Spiritual Energy had already been exhausted, leaving him unable to continue his ditative breathing exercises.
Searching his mind for thods of cultivation, he found that relying solely on the Spiritual Energy of the Mortal World to replenish oneself was far from enough; one could also use various elixirs to aid oneself.
After all, Spiritual Energy was finite; once absorbed, it would take a long ti to recover.
Thinking of this, a type of elixir called the Qi Condensing Pill appeared in Ye Ming’s mind.
Taking this elixir could replenish a large amount of True Qi, saving ti and effort—effectively like having a cheat code.
However, crafting the Qi Condensing Pill required a large number of precious dicinal ingredients, a demand too vast for one or two apothecaries to fulfill.
At this thought, Ye Ming couldn’t help but ponder exploiting Xu Lele’s connections. With her status, procuring so dicinal ingredients shouldn’t be too difficult.
When the day ca that his strength leaped forward dramatically, no one in the world would dare to disrespect him again, and he could trample those who had once let him down beneath his feet.
"Grandpa, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down. I will glorify the legacy you have bestowed upon and make the Ye Family an existence others won’t dare to provoke!" Ye Ming declared fervently, eager to reach that realm and, unable to contain his excitent, leaped down from the rooftop and landed firmly on the ground.
Realizing he was unscathed, his smile grew even broader.
Little did he know, Xu Lele had witnessed all this from inside the house. At that mont, her eyes shone with golden light, utterly srized by Ye Ming.
"Such a man has both martial skills and dical expertise. He’s simply perfect. I must beco his woman," Xu Lele said with pursed lips.
Xia Ningning was too lazy to even roll her eyes as she replied, "No matter what, he’s just a brute. How could he be worthy of you? Le Le, you really need to snap out of it; don’t be chard by him."
Suddenly, Xu Lele’s eyes widened as she stared intently at Xia Ningning and asked, "Ningning, why do I detect a hint of sourness in your words? You couldn’t possibly have taken a liking to him as well, could you?"
"Him?" Xia Ningning’s face was filled with scorn. "What a joke, how could I fall for him? Stop talking nonsense, Le Le."
Xia Ningning didn’t tell Xu Lele that she herself was engaged to Ye Ming.
However, regardless, she had already called off the engagent, and there was no possibility of any further interaction between them.
On the contrary, Xu Lele’s current behavior was a cause of great concern for Xia Ningning.
She couldn’t help but ask, "I must ask you, you said you wanted to test him, handle him a bit and then call off the engagent. So what about now? What are you really thinking?"
As she spoke, a dreadful thought flashed through Xia Ningning’s mind, and she quickly asked, "You don’t really intend to marry him, do you?"
Xu Lele smiled sweetly and retorted, "Why not? I don’t have a boyfriend, and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. What’s the harm in trying? After all, we do have an engagent."
Xia Ningning stared at her, speechless for a long while.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xu Lele hurriedly smoothed things over, explaining, "Alright, alright, I was just joking with you. Did you take seriously?"
