Chapter 438: Chapter 424: You’re not thinking of confessing, are you?
Jiang Zhuge threw out a comnt: “Mutant Winged Dragon isn’t dumb. Now that a battle is imminent, recruiting more people will certainly favor the situation. What’s not to like about it?”
“Why don’t they summon everyone from Dragon Slayer Island?” Li Mo asked.
“If everyone from Dragon Slayer Island ca, then they would have no way back. Besides, so people from the Immortal and Demon Domains are keeping an eye on them,” Jiang Zhuge continued, “I suspect their help wouldn’t make a big difference, and it’s uncertain when they’ll even get here. I’ve also heard that there are so issues within the Dragon Slaying Clan.”
Li Mo comnted further: “In other words, they won’t easily appear in the Central Plains.”
“If they do, the people from the Immortal and Demon Domains will definitely know.”
“I’m not particularly confident in the information from those in the Immortal and Demon Domains, they’ve tricked Mutant Winged Dragon and his group too many tis already.”
Hearing this, Yu Yun, who was standing by, said, “We from the Immortal and Demon Domains, are not as terrible as you describe us, are we?”
“Aren’t you guys terrible enough? If we didn’t believe you and waited for your news, we wouldn’t know when Mutant Winged Dragon entered the Wastelands and we could easily be defeated,” Li Mo retorted.
“Hey, you can’t bla us for that.”
“So, what can we bla you for?”
“Anyway, everyone makes mistakes.”
“Your negligence burned the entire Wasteland City to ash,” Li Mo said, “Whatever Mutant Winged Dragon is up to, he’s definitely wary of you from the Immortal and Demon Domains. You guys won’t find out that quickly. This ti—from the extermination of the Demon God, to Mutant Winged Dragon leaving Immortal City, to the breaking of Heavenly City—hasn’t all this happened because you guys from the Immortal and Demon Domains did not have accurate information?”
Jiang Zhuge shook his head and said, “Mutant Winged Dragon would not bring out all his n. If he did that, Dragon Slayer Island would be left too vulnerable.”
“Who can know for sure!”
Ye Chen silently drove the horse-drawn cart, while Yu Yun was munching on a grilled at skewer.
Those following picked up their speed. Whether the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan wanted to take a breather or wait for the people from two demonic realms, they should rush back to Demon Palace City as soon as possible.
“Ye Chen, aren’t you going to eat?” Yu Yun asked.
“I ate in the morning, I’m not hungry. You go ahead.”
Yu Yun knew that this daydreaming guy was definitely pondering how to deal with Mutant Winged Dragon and how to face the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand. “Hey, don’t think too much. It’s useless. You can’t expect to improve your martial arts skills to an unimaginable level in just a day or two.”
Ye Chen asked, “Does your Demon Palace have any dicine that can enhance one’s martial arts skills after eating it?”
“Stop dreaming. We only have stuff that could turn you into sothing neither human nor ghost. It may even change your sex.”
Ye Chen gave a faint smile.
“Only hard work pays off. If there really is such martial art, you need to be careful. Nine out of ten tis it’s a scam. Your achievents today, did they co overnight?”
“No.”
“If you desire instant mastery of any powerful technique, you might as well desire demonic possession.”
“If being possessed is the key to defeating them, I am willing to give it a try.”
“Keep going like this, and there’s a high chance you’ll beco ntally ill.”
Ye Chen took a deep breath.
Yu Yun shouted, “You better rest for a while, let
drive the horse-drawn cart.” Noticing his bloodshot eyes, she knew he didn’t get enough rest last night.
“No need. If I send you flying by accident and sothing goes wrong, I wouldn’t know how to compensate Qing’er for losing her sister.”
“Don’t treat
as a burden, okay? I am not that weak.”
“I know you’re not that weak, but I also know that you certainly haven’t learned how to drive a horse-drawn cart.”
“What’s so hard about that? Isn’t it just about whipping?”
“If you whip randomly, a horse kick could send you flying,” Ye Chen said.
“You’re just underestimating .”
“I dare not. Sit tight,” Ye Chen continued, “I’m just afraid you’ll fall asleep, fall off and beco paralysed, forcing
to marry you. In the end, I would be the one suffering.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t be that bad.”
“I’ll do it.”
“You sit and rest,” Ye Chen said.
That night, they stayed in a small town.
Having confird that the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan won’t get there too soon, Ye Chen and the others relaxed slightly. Tonight, they planned to rest in town.
After spending a long ti roughing it in the wilderness and constantly on the run, sleeping out in the open, they almost forgot what it’s like to be in a warm, bustling city.
Still, Ye Chen feared that their presence in this unknown small town might attract the people from the Dragon Slaying Clan.
Jiang Zhuge said, “Sect Leader, don’t worry. They won’t co this soon, they haven’t even made it over the border yet. Besides, we’re leaving this place tomorrow morning, so they won’t cause any trouble here.”
Ye Chen just nodded slightly.
Yu Yun mocked, “You’re too paranoid.”
“Am I?”
“Let’s just rest comfortably tonight. We’ll reach Demon Palace tomorrow,” said Jiang Zhuge before withdrawing from the conversation.
“Let’s go. Haven’t you tired of eating the grilled at?” Leaping down from the horse-drawn cart, Yu Yun already started dragging Ye Chen towards the street ahead.
“Hey, I don’t think we’ve reached that level.” Ye Chen replied.
“So, are you going to sit around or are you going to eat?”
“Is there food at this inn?” Ye Chen pointed at the inn ahead of them where disciples from the New City Sect stread in.
“You’ve been in the carriage all day, don’t you want to stretch your legs?”
“All I want this evening is to have dinner, take a bath, and change out of these sweat-stained clothes before settling down for a good night’s sleep.” Ye Chen replied.
Yu Yun laughed, “There’s no hurry this ti; it’s still early. You’ve been wearing the sa clothes for days and you don’t seem to care about the sll. It doesn’t matter if you don’t wash and change.” She then nudged Ye Chen forward.
“Why don’t you go and find Ling Jian or Fan Fei?”
“Because your martial arts skills are superior.”
Li Mo covertingly voiced from behind, “Yes, you two can go. We won’t save any food for you if you return late.”
The streets were bustling with people. Despite the looming deadly showdown between the Demon Domain and the Dragon Slaying Clan, this small town seed aloof. Perhaps because it was insignificant, it was overlooked.
“Let’s go, what’s keeping you?” Yu Yun shouted.
“But where to?” Ye Chen asked.
“Well, I’m not going to eat you. Besides, with your brilliant mind, do you think I could ever harm you?”
“That’s true. There are people in the inn serving food which we don’t have to pay for. Why do we need to go elsewhere?”
“Too many people. There’s no peace with everyone chattering all at the sa ti.” said Yu Yun.
“I think it could be fun, it’s lively. So you have sothing to tell ?”
“Hurry up, I have sothing to say to you.”
“You’re not about to confess your love to , are you?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled.
“What if I say yes!”
“Then you’d better not confess because it could be very hurtful.”
“Do you think I’m weak, easily hurt!”
Ye Chen thought for a mont and said, “That’s tough to say. You have had such a privileged upbringing, probably never been rejected before. This kind of shock can hit hard, and perhaps it would cast a lingering shadow in your mind.”
“Don’t worry, I am resistant.”
“Really planning to confess? Then I should leave.”
“Hey, what’s the rush? I haven’t even confessed yet, and you’re already running.”
“I’m not ready psychologically.”
Yu Yun asked, “What kind of psychological preparation do you need?”
“Of course. I have to be prepared in case you, due to my rejection, decide to jump into a river.”
“You’re overthinking.” Yu Yun stopped, taking a look at the street ahead crowded with people in pairs.
Ye Chen had no choice but to follow Yu Yun. They marched on, farther and farther.
“What would you like to eat?”
“Anything that will fill my stomach.” Ye Chen replied.
“Then we can eat beef noodle soup and have so grilled sesa seed cakes.”
“I’m afraid of walking any further for fear of getting lost.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve been here before and won’t get lost.”
“Right, your Demon Palace City is just around here.”
“Let’s move.”
“See, the streets are filled with couples. It’s sickening.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“We’re not a couple. Isn’t it torturous?”
“Then we can just act like one.”
“Absolutely not!”
“We’re almost there. There’s a beef shop ahead. The beef noodles there are really delicious. I promise I’m not fooling you.” It seed that she was indeed familiar with the place. As they arrived, it was already dark, yet it was still quite a while before midnight.
Sure enough, they found the beef shop, which seed rather popular with many custors. Next to it, there were several stalls selling at pies. Yu Yun rushed off to secure a spot inside.
“Waiter, two bowls of beef noodle soup, please.” Having left Ye Chen minding their seats, she rushed off again, this ti likely to buy sesa seed cakes and other snacks.
As Ye Chen took a glance around, he noticed that the windows were open, offering a view of the passersby on the street.
Surely enough, Yu Yun soon returned with food.
Yu Yun also said, “Tonight, empty your mind and just focus on one thing: eating and drinking.” Saying that, she put down a jar of wine.
“Are you really planning to get
drunk and have your way with ?” Ye Chen asked, a tinge of caution in his voice.
