Chapter 104: Human Trafficker Duo

Ye Chen's Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder instantly invaded Huang Li's body, constantly destroying his bodily functions; the vitality in his body was rapidly draining.

The few people beside Huang Li saw him collapse instantly, unable to resist, their pupils trembling violently, their eyes full of disbelief.

"What are you standing there for! Kill him for me!"

Huang Li roared, and the remaining three also reacted, rushing toward Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen merely gave them a look, and they were too frightened to move.

In Ye Chen's eyes, killing intent permeated, and lightning surged.

"Eh, Little Chen-chen, don't kill them, I have a great use for them."

Yun Yun's voice suddenly sounded, and upon hearing it, Ye Chen frowned slightly.

"Huh?"

Although Ye Chen felt doubtful, he still did as Yun Yun said.

He instantly knocked those three unconscious.

It's laughable—three people with Golden Core sixth or seventh layer cultivation couldn't even withstand a single move against Ye Chen.

At this moment, the still-conscious Huang Li stared wide-eyed at all this, seemingly unable to believe what was happening before him.

"You're clearly just a trash at Golden Core first layer—how do you have such formidable combat power!"

Huang Li bellowed, his worldview harshly scrubbed by Ye Chen.

"You keep calling me trash, you really don't learn."

Yun Yun said mockingly.

"Look at your age, then look at Ye Chen's age—he's not small because he practiced some evil cultivation method; he's just naturally this small."

After Yun Yun finished speaking, Huang Li seemed to have received too great a shock, spitting a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Chen shrugged and said, "You can see it—I didn't hit him; don't let him extort me."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Yun Yun let out a puff and laughed.

"How come I never noticed before, your mouth is so nasty."

"Not bad."

Ye Chen replied.

"By the way, what do you want me to do by letting them live?"

Ye Chen asked, he was very curious about this.

"First, tie me up."

Ye Chen: "!?"

"What are you planning to do?"

Ye Chen now didn't understand Yun Yun's approach.

"Just do as I say; we'll heavily extort their family."

After hearing Yun Yun's words, Ye Chen frowned slightly.

Yun Yun saw Ye Chen's confusion and explained, "Just do as I say, and I guarantee you won't lack cultivation resources later."

Upon hearing that he wouldn't lack cultivation resources, Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Don't move, I'm coming!"

Ye Chen said, then formed a rope with spiritual power and came before Yun Yun; seeing Ye Chen's expression, Yun Yun inexplicably felt like a bandit tying up a wife.

Ye Chen didn't know what Yun Yun was thinking; he only heard her say "not lacking cultivation resources."

"Hey, be gentle, you're hurting me."

"I'm already being gentle."

"Be even gentler."

"Alright, I'll be gentler; don't move, you keep slipping."

"If you're gentle, I won't move."

……

Finally, under Ye Chen's gentle motions, Yun Yun was successfully tied up.

"What should we do next?"

Ye Chen asked.

"Take out the Communication Mirror from my body, input spiritual power, contact that person of my family, tell him I've been tied up by you, demand a ransom, and have him casually produce tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones."

After hearing Yun Yun's words, Ye Chen sucked in a breath of cold air.

"No, you're even scheming against your own family—tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, you think they're like cheap cabbage by the road!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Yun Yun rolled her eyes.

"Tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones are just my half-month pocket money; look at you, so unsophisticated."

"I'm a country bumpkin."

Ye Chen blurted out those four words, instantly leaving Yun Yun bewildered.

"Then what about these few people?"

Ye Chen asked again.

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Yun Yun's gaze fell on the unconscious few.

"This is simple; although their family isn't as good as mine, they're still a major clan. Directly demand from them a hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, plus various precious medicines—preferably those that aid in tribulation crossing. As a loose cultivator, tribulation-crossing pills are hard to come by, so just ask for the precious medicines."

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Ye Chen instantly felt helpless; indeed, tribulation pills are hard for him to obtain—he doesn't know alchemy, most precious medicines are taken directly, which prevents their medicinal properties from being fully utilized, and that's his predicament.

Just as Ye Chen felt helpless about this, the System's voice suddenly sounded.

【Detected that the host is being looked down upon; as the host of the great System, how can he be looked down upon, how can he not know alchemy? The host of this System must be versed in all eighteen martial arts, proficient in everything!】

【The Alchemy Compendium has now been transmitted to the host; may the host no longer be looked down upon!】

Ye Chen listened to the system's words, froze a moment, and the system's sudden reward left him somewhat dazed.

Moreover, he wasn't looked down on; Yun Yun was sincerely helping him.

"System... glitched again."

"Hey, why are you spacing out? Hurry up and act!"

Yun Yun's voice pulled Ye Chen's thoughts back, "I understand."

After speaking, Ye Chen acted, channeling spiritual power into the All-Speaking Mirror; as he poured his spiritual power into the All-Speaking Mirror, a kind old man's face suddenly appeared in the mirror.

"Little Yun Yun, it's only been a moment, and you're missing me again?"

Upon hearing the old man's words, Ye Chen instantly understood why Yun Yun loved calling him Xiao Yuanyuan and Xiao Chenchen.

"Hey, old man, I've captured your beloved junior; if you want her back, bring... thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones."

Gu Lan heard a youthful male voice, his eyes widened instantly, "Impossible! Yun Yun carries so many treasures; how could you have captured her!"

Gu Lan completely disbelieved Ye Chen's words, "That girl must have lost it by accident and you picked it up, kid; since you found our clan's treasure, I can give you ten thousand top-grade spirit stones and then return the All-Speaking Mirror."

"This old man isn't unreasonable, but I have to say, Yun Yun is really devious."

Ye Chen thought to himself.

"Damn old man! Are you not planning to save me?"

Yun Yun's voice suddenly rang out, startling Gu Lan so much that the All-Speaking Mirror in his hand trembled.

"You brat! Don't hurt my little Yun Yun; I'll send the thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones you demand right away!"

Gu Lan finished speaking and was about to fetch Ye Chen top-grade spirit stones when Ye Chen suddenly shouted, "Wait, have one of their clan elders prepare... one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, plus Flowing Abyss Grass, Wind Spirit Flower, and Four Sacred Bones; get these ready for ransom, or else I'll kill the hostage!"

Ye Chen said grimly, then turned the All-Speaking Mirror in his hand toward Huang Li and the others.

When Gu Lan saw the four unconscious people on the ground, his old face filled with shock, and at the same time he burst out laughing inwardly.

"Hahaha, good thing I only asked for thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones; now they'll really bleed."

"Are you sure you won't hurt my little Yun Yun?"

"I swear a Heavenly Dao Oath: if I harm Yun Yun, I will be struck by heavenly thunder tribulation for eternity and meet a miserable end!"

Ye Chen deliberately emphasized that it was Yun Yun, not anyone else, implying those people might not necessarily make it back alive.

Gu Lan burst out laughing at this; to him, thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones were nothing, but those precious medicines were top-notch existences.

No matter which one, placed anywhere, it would be fought over to the point of bloodshed.

"You damn old man, still laughing? Come save me!"

Yun Yun said this, then a sob suddenly came through, tugging at Gu Lan's heartstrings; he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go prepare the ransom right away!"

He said that, then cut off the All-Speaking Mirror's connection; after the mirror's connection was severed, Ye Chen walked over and untied Yun Yun.

After Ye Chen untied Yun Yun, she giggled, "Hehe, how was my acting?"

"Hmm, you can go claim the little golden man now."
