Chapter 122: Chapter 117: A Farewell Kiss
“Do you aspire to achieve greatness?” Ling’er asked.
“Of course, I do. Every man should,” responded Ye Chen.
“Hehe, you are still a child. Moreover, a vagrant child. Do you know martial arts?”
“Martial arts, I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it eventually. Don’t judge
by my rags and my youth, I maybe look like a tiny beggar now, but I will make a na for myself in the future and make everyone look up at ,” replied Ye Chen confidently.
“Quite a lofty ambition indeed.”
“A young man must have a little ambition, without high ideals, he might as well be a salted fish.”
Wei Yiling gave a faint smile and said: “You should co to our Third Demon.”
“Join your Third Demon?”
“Yes, we’re short-staffed and we are the strongest faction in the Wastelands. Many people want to join us, but we haven’t given them the chance.”
“Let
think about it.” He still needed to devote ti to practice martial arts.
“Hehe, you need to think about it, huh.”
“Of course, this concerns my future.”
“Alright then, take your ti deciding. If you truly want to join, you can co and find .”
“And where would that be?”
“My dad is the Heavenly King, finding
is easy, you just need to ntion my na.”
“Really? That’s great!” Ye Chen cheered up, he now had a fallback.
He climbed over a hill and saw an ancient city shimring in the front under the light of his eyes. Ye Chen mumbled, “This can’t be a mirage, can it?”
“No, it’s Wasteland City.”
“It’s quite large.”
“Of course, it’s the largest city in the Wastelands. It has to be grand. Otherwise, it wouldn’t live up to its reputation.”
Ye Chen nodded.
“Let’s go, I’ll treat you to breakfast,” said Wei Yiling.
“You treating ? No need, I’ll be the one to treat you.” He wasn’t going to let her save his life with just a al.
Several rchants were already entering and exiting hastily, the city was bustling. Then, Ye Chen looked upon the city and realized what happened last night seed not to have affected the Wasteland City.
“What do you want to eat?” Ye Chen asked.
“Anything.”
The two of them walked into Wasteland City. This city, with its historical relics, was full of stories that Ye Chen had heard.
He stopped at a stall and ordered a mutton burger, and so mutton skewers. Ye Chen ordered a lot of food.
Ling’er seed uncomfortable, she felt there was still sand in her clothes. She said, “I’m so uncomfortable. I feel like there is still sand in here.”
Ye Chen chuckled and said, “You should thank those grains of sand. They saved you. Without them, you would have fallen into the hands of those n in black.”
“Couldn’t you have thought of sothing else?” Ling’er picked up a pair of chopsticks.
“Hehe, only the sand could hide your scent.”
They went unnoticed by others.
The girl didn’t seem too familiar with the place and was looking around.
“You don’t seem very familiar with this place.”
Ling’er replied, “Hmm, I’m not very familiar with it here. I rarely co back. I usually live in the mansion. I ca back this ti because my dad is seriously ill. Even when I do co back, I hardly go out.”
“Hehe, always holed up at ho.”
“Hmm, Wasteland City is too chaotic right now.”
“That’s no good, you can’t always be holed up at ho. You should get out and about more.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to co with
to the Third Demon?”
“Probably not.” He knew that learning martial arts was most necessary for him.
“So, where will you stay?”
“I’ve brought enough silvers with . I can find a place to stay,” said Ye Chen.
“You will live alone.”
“Probably. Do you want to keep
from living alone?”
“Are we friends now?”
After looking at her, Ye Chen said: “I suppose we are.”
Although a bit fatigued from the night’s event, his relationship with the girl had beco quite pleasant. It gave Ye Chen an alternate choice. Knowing a girl like her, he could make the most of the situation to display his ambition and potentially join the Third Demon in the future using this connection. He was quite pleased with his prospects.
In front of the girl, he was also able to present a good image. Just arriving in the Wastelands, a stranger in a strange land, making more friends was always good, especially a pretty girl like her, he could find many uses for her in the future.
“I’ll walk you ho,” Ye Chen stood up.
“Thank you for treating ,” she said.
“It was just a al, an easy task,” Ye Chen paid with his silvers.
“You did save , after all. If I need to thank you in the future, where should I find you?”
Just as Ye Chen was waiting for a response, he suddenly lost control. It wasn’t that he wasn’t in control, but that the Red Demonic Spirit had taken over him.
He swiftly lunged towards her, held her and kissed her. Ling’er didn’t even have ti to react and looked completely baffled. She wasn’t sure what just happened, nor did she resist. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to resist, but it was too late, and he had already held her tightly, leaving no room for struggle.
The two of them were both stunned, unable to make sense of what was happening.
After a while, the Red Demonic Spirit released its control. Ye Chen swiftly stepped back, equally shocked.
The girl wiped her lips, looking at him with an angry and puzzled gaze. “You, you… why…”
Ye Chen wished he could explain that he wasn’t responsible for what just happened, but then he heard a voice say, “What’s wrong? I saved you. Is it wrong for
to kiss you? Think of it as a compensation.”
“You, you’re such a pervert!” She grabbed whatever was around her and hurled it at him, leaving him unable to react.
Fearing he might do sothing else inappropriate, Ye Chen backed away, attempting an explanation: “No, it was the Red…”
But then he started to lose control again.
“I thought you were a good person, but you’re just a lecher.” Ling’er turned around, covering her mouth as if she was about to cry.
Ye Chen tried to explain but he really didn’t know how to. Before he knew it, she had already run away.
“Red Demonic Spirit, what are you trying to do? Turn
into a pervert?”
“A pervert? That suits you perfectly.”
“You’ve ruined my reputation! How am I supposed to face girls in the future? You made her cry!”
“It’s good that she cried, at least you won’t have to see her again.”
“What, was this your plan all along? I’ve just managed to make a friend, and she’s the Alliance Leader’s daughter. If we beca friends, joining the Third Demon would be easy. You’ve made
miss a great opportunity.”
“I’m helping you cut away your distractions. I’m thinking about your future. Right now, don’t think about anything else but one thing: practicing martial arts. Just focus on training like your life depends on it.”
“What, I can’t make friends?”
“Making friends will expose
and distract you.”
“I believe you are ruining my future.”
“Really? That’s how I ruin your future?”
“Are you going to make
do things like this more often, lunging at people suddenly, holding them tight, and kissing them without hesitation?” Ye Chen was still reeling from what had just happened.
“Dream on.”
“Everyone will think I’m a pervert whose legs deserve to be broken!”
“You didn’t want to kiss that girl just now?”
“Ha! Is it okay if I kiss any girl I like on the street? So will beat
to death.” Ye Chen turned his head, fearing that Ling’er might bring soone to find him, and hurriedly left.
“You’ve benefitted so much! I helped you save her and even let you kiss that girl. What else do you want?”
“Didn’t you see that she was crying?”
“It’s better if she cries. She needs to learn that not everyone is kind, and there are plenty of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Such an experience will make her grow up faster and avoid shaless people like you in the future.”
“You’re the shaless one! You kissed her directly, she probably thinks I’m a lunatic.” Ye Chen shook his head, unable to explain it himself.
“Being a lunatic is good! Then you can give up these distracting thoughts and focus more on martial arts training. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.” said the Red Demonic Spirit.
“What distractions? I just wanted to make a friend, soone I can talk to.”
“Don’t lie to . You wanted to use her to enter the Third Demon and beco one of them.”
“What’s wrong with that!? Is there anything wrong with having the opportunity to join the Third Demon?”
“Now, don’t give
all these excuses. You have one thing, martial arts, no more no less. Once you’ve mastered it, why would you worry about no one wanting you?”
“If you didn’t want
to join the Third Demon, you could have told . I would’ve agreed to it. Being friends with soone isn’t too much to ask, is it?” Thinking of the girl crying, Ye Chen couldn’t help feeling guilty. “That could’ve been her first kiss. You just took it away.”
“You took her first kiss.”
“Yes, it’s my body, but you did it.” continued Ye Chen, “How am I supposed to make female friends in the future? I can’t just kiss soone and unapologetically say that it’s a reward for saving your life. Even if I were to die, I wouldn’t dare to say such a thing.” His face turned red.
“That’s right. It’s great, isn’t it? Now it’s simple. Just concentrate on martial arts.”
“How will I face girls in the future?”
“It’s perfect if you avoid them.”
“Do you want
to live alone forever and not have a family?”
“No, I’ll be with you.”
“Whose idea was it to just kiss soone like that? I could have been skinned alive for that.” Said Ye Chen, “I don’t even know how to explain it to her. No one would understand such a thing.”
“If they don’t understand, that’s great. You can avoid them in the future.”
“Forget it, I guess if I et a girl next ti, you won’t hesitate to do sothing outrageous. She’ll have nightmares.”
Red Demonic Spirit chuckled, “You should thank . I made you cut off all your distractions so that you can start a new life.”
“Indeed, now I’m notorious and my reputation is tainted. I spent all night building a good image of myself as a kind person, and you transford
into a degenerate. We need to set so ground rules to prevent this from happening again. If this happens again, I won’t be able to show my face.”
“Great! Now you can focus on mastering martial arts.”
“I never thought you would say such a thing.”
“That was actually a gentle approach.”
“Do you want to strip people’s clothes off next? I really misjudged you. You’re my teacher, but sooner or later, you will turn
into a bastard.”
“You’re a bastard already.”
