Chapter 102: Is he really just a Foundation Establishment?

After listening to Ye Chen's words, Yun Yun didn't say anything else; she didn't know what had happened to Ye Chen before, but Ye Chen could come to her rescue without regard for danger, which was enough to prove he wasn't a bad person!

"Then why did you take Feng Xiaozi's soul instead of just destroying it?"

Yun Yun asked, puzzled.

"His ancestors have a grudge against me; I want to refine his soul into a puppet for my Ten Thousand Souls Banner, to fight for me forever until his soul dissipates."

Ye Chen said calmly.

After he finished speaking, Yun Yun looked at Ye Chen with a frightened expression; Ye Chen sensed her gaze, furrowed his brows, and asked, "What's with that look?"

"I'm feeling relieved."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's good we didn't become enemies—killing you wouldn't be enough; your soul would still have to fight for you, which is awful, simply dying without peace."

"So, you're afraid of me?"

Ye Chen deliberately put on a grim expression; seeing this, Yun Yun showed a frightened look and trembled as she said, "You're so scary, I'm so scared~"

Seeing Yun Yun's expression, Ye Chen's eyes widened and he thought, "Where did that fierce Yun Yun go?!"

He clearly hadn't expected Yun Yun to show such an expression, and he certainly hadn't expected her to cooperate with him like this.

"Alright, I'm done playing with you; there should be no danger nearby, this herb has no guardian spirit beast—hurry up and pick it, you're about to break through."

"Mm."

Ye Chen agreed and then set off to harvest that precious herb.

After Ye Chen left, Yun Yun took out a silver mirror, "Good thing I brought the Communication Mirror."

Yun Yun looked at the Communication Mirror and whispered, "Hey hey hey, old geezer, are you there?"

After Yun Yun's words fell, an old man appeared in the Communication Mirror, looking kindly at Yun Yun, his face full of smiles, and he didn't get angry despite her scolding him.

"What's up? My little ancestor?"

Gu Lan asked with a chuckle.

"Old man, I recall you have a pill that can instantly restore cultivators below Nascent Soul to peak condition?"

Gu Lan, upon hearing Yun Yun's question, immediately had a bad feeling.

"That's for you to use when crossing the tribulation to reach Nascent Soul; why are you asking about it?"

Gu Lan asked.

"Never mind that for now; send it to me through the Communication Mirror right now."

"You dead girl, what are you planning to do?"

"Oh dear, beloved grandpa, you won't refuse me, right?"

Seeing that Gu Lan had no intention of giving it to her, Yun Yun began to act coquettish, but Gu Lan's attitude was extremely firm—he said no, and that was final.

"Old man! Believe it or not, if you don't give it to me, tomorrow I'll get engaged to a native of this world!"

Gu Lan in the Communication Mirror, upon hearing Yun Yun say that, instantly widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

"You dare!"

"See if I dare!"

Yun Yun blurted that out without even thinking.

After Yun Yun finished saying that, Gu Lan instantly lost his vigor, saying, "I can give it to you, but you can't get engaged to a native of this world."

Gu Lan said helplessly.

After saying that, he sent a purple pill through the Communication Mirror to Yun Yun.

After receiving the purple pill, Yun Yun hehehed twice, "Don't worry, old man, I wouldn't just randomly get engaged to someone; this definitely needs your approval."

After saying that, Yun Yun directly took back the Communication Mirror; meanwhile, Gu Lan in Xingkong, seeing the mirror suddenly go blank, smiled helplessly.

"This dead girl."

Gu Lan's tone was full of indulgence.

……

At this moment, Yun Yun looked at the pill in her hand, smelled its refreshing fragrance, and gave a light laugh.

"With this Primordial Pill, Ye Chen's chances of surviving the heavenly tribulation will greatly increase!"

Yun Yun thought to herself.

At that moment, Ye Chen had finished harvesting the precious herb and came before Yun Yun; pill Ye Chen then handed over the harvested herb to Yun Yun.

"What you found is yours."

Ye Chen said, he had never intended to take this herb from the start, since Yun Yun found it, it naturally belongs to her.

"Ah?"

Yun Yun hadn't reacted yet, "This was meant for you to find."

"No need."

Ye Chen replied.

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Yun Yun frowned slightly, "Do you know this vitality-boosting precious herb? You can't even find it outside; many powerful beings fight over it, and you don't want it?!"

After Yun Yun finished, Ye Chen shrugged indifferently and said, "I said it before—what you found is yours."

"How can you be such a blockhead!"

Yun Yun said angrily, but Ye Chen didn't care whether she was really angry; he just shoved the herb into her hand.

Yun Yun stared blankly for a moment, not knowing whether Ye Chen was truly stupid or pretending, refusing such a precious herb.

Just as Yun Yun was dazed, Ye Chen spoke again, "I'm about to undergo the tribulation; you find a place to hide first."

Ye Chen said, he was confident he could survive this heavenly tribulation; only the Extreme Boundary tribulation after Golden Core would he lack confidence to pass.

After saying that, Ye Chen turned around and prepared to leave to meet the impending heavenly tribulation.

However, just as he was about to turn and leave, Yun Yun suddenly called out to him.

Ye Chen heard Yun Yun calling him, his brows slightly furrowed, "What's wrong?"

Yun Yun did not directly answer his question, but walked up to him and handed him the Primordial Pill in her hand.

"This is for you; it can instantly heal your injuries and leave no aftereffects, a pill specially prepared for undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation."

Ye Chen looked at the pill in Yun Yun's hand, but did not take it; this kind of pill specially prepared for undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation must be one prepared for her by her clan.

"No need."

Ye Chen replied indifferently; the next moment, his figure vanished from the spot. Seeing Ye Chen refuse her pill, Yun Yun instantly flared with anger.

"Ye Chen! You blockhead! I hate you!"

Yun Yun shouted loudly, but Ye Chen didn't care about her shouting; he clearly sensed that his Heavenly Tribulation was about to arrive.

Ye Chen knew Yun Yun was following behind him, but he didn't stop her, for he knew she would keep a safe distance on her own.

Boom—

A violent boom rang out; Ye Chen's Heavenly Tribulation… had arrived.

When Yun Yun saw Ye Chen's Heavenly Tribulation at that moment, her pupils contracted sharply.

"How could a Heavenly Tribulation of this magnitude possibly be what a Foundation Establishment cultivator should have!?"

Yun Yun, too, had undergone a Heavenly Tribulation, so she clearly knew its power; moreover, being from a great cultivation clan, she knew even better how terrifying it could be.

She had sensed many Heavenly Tribulations of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul ones, but none were as terrifying as Ye Chen's, which seemed apocalyptic.

"He… really is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Yun Yun involuntarily voiced her doubt, but as the person involved, Ye Chen could no longer answer her—his Heavenly Tribulation had already descended!
