Chapter 109

"Sigh, I don't know how long it'll take for you to wake up."

Yun Yun looked at Ye Chen who was in cultivation, shaking her head and sighing.

"Well now, haven't I woken up?"

Ye Chen's voice suddenly rang beside Yun Yun's ear; the instant his voice sounded, Yun Yun happily turned her head to look at Ye Chen.

"You're finally awake!"

Yun Yun said happily.

"If I didn't wake up, I feel like you'd start nagging me."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Tch, if I hadn't been standing guard for you these past few days, you'd have been eaten by those mountain spirits and wild monsters long ago!"

After Yun Yun finished speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on Ye Chen's face. "Oh? Really? In that case, I suppose I should properly thank you?"

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Yun Yun suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Oh, actually you don't need to. Just casually give me ten thousand or so high-grade spirit stones to spend and that'll be fine."

Yun Yun said nonchalantly.

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Ye Chen's eyes immediately widened. "Ten thousand or so! You're really robbing me!"

Ye Chen said in shock, and after he spoke those words, Yun Yun also suddenly realized that Ye Chen simply didn't have that many spirit stones, because he was only a rogue cultivator.

And the spirit stones that Gu Lan, Huang Li, and the others had given Ye Chen were still sealed within the Tongyan Mirror.

Yun Yun thought of this and laughed awkwardly a couple of times.

"Hehe, just kidding, don't take it seriously."

But in truth, it wasn't that Ye Chen didn't want to give Yun Yun things either, but his possessions—there wasn't a single one he could show!

The Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram and the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder were both his trump cards, which he couldn't easily hand over; as for the rest, Yun Yun wouldn't even look twice at them, so Ye Chen was quite conflicted.

Yun Yun seemed to see the conflicted look on Ye Chen's face, and suddenly said to him, "I just sensed that there seems to be a treasure appearing in the east. Do you want to go take a look?"

Yun Yun asked Ye Chen, but in truth, she hadn't sensed any treasure at all. The reason she said this was entirely to divert Ye Chen's attention.

After hearing this, Ye Chen nodded gently. He knew this was Yun Yun finding him a way to save face; he just needed to go along with it.

"Alright, let's go take a look."

Ye Chen said.

"You lead the way up front."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Yun Yun nodded, and then began leading the way ahead.

"By the way, what realm are you at now? I can no longer sense your cultivation level."

Yun Yun, flying in the air, suddenly asked Ye Chen.

"Golden Core Third Level, one level more than you."

After hearing Ye Chen state his cultivation, Yun Yun's expression changed drastically. "That means, in fifteen days' time, you crossed two minor realms in a row!?"

Yun Yun's tone was full of shock. She truly couldn't imagine that someone's cultivation speed could be so fast—so fast it made her doubt her own life.

Although she too hadn't broken through to Golden Core long ago, how old was Ye Chen? Ye Chen's age was almost only half of hers, yet his cultivation was now above hers, which made it hard for her to accept for a moment.

Seeing Yun Yun fall silent after he finished speaking of his cultivation, Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

After hearing Ye Chen's voice, Yun Yun was first stunned for a moment, then replied to Ye Chen, "Your cultivation talent is too terrifying. I'm thinking about whether I should possess your body."

Ye Chen: "Hm? Are you sure?"

"Not sure."

Yun Yun immediately replied.

Ye Chen knew Yun Yun was joking, but if she truly wanted to, it would be no different from seeking her own death.

Not to mention the existence of the system in his mind, Yun Yun couldn't even pass the Chaos Eye test, let alone possess him—her divine soul might dissipate into nothing the instant it entered Ye Chen's body.

Yun Yun didn't know about the peculiarities within Ye Chen's body, and she was indeed joking, but when she saw Ye Chen fall silent, she suddenly panicked. "I was joking, don't take it seriously. My cultivation talent isn't any worse than yours. I don't want to possess you at all. Boys' bodies are stinky; girls' bodies are fragrant."

Ye Chen: "!?"

"I suspect you're driving, but I have no evidence."

This was Ye Chen's inner monologue, which Yun Yun didn't know, but her words indeed carried no other meaning—she was simply telling Ye Chen that she truly had no intention of possession.

Of course, Ye Chen didn't think that much either. At this moment, his thoughts had already drifted beyond the nine heavens.

"I wonder how Dad and Mom are doing now."

Ye Chen said in his heart, his tone full of worry. Although the Zhi Ren Ye Chen was there and could largely ensure nothing would go wrong, this was only for a short time—this situation fundamentally couldn't last long before being broken.

He was growing, and all the myriad things on this planet were also growing. He was not the only one growing.

Ye Chen didn't know that a person's soul had re-condensed due to the great changes in heaven and earth—or rather, he had been revived by those powerful experts within Xingkong.

His resentment was too great, his evil nature too strong, and those powerful experts within Xingkong all knew that after the revival of spiritual Qi, battles among geniuses were bound to emerge, and the cultivation base and realm of the cultivators they dispatched to this planet would, to varying degrees, be suppressed by this planet's rules.

But if it was a cultivator native to this planet, then there would be no such suppression, so... Li Yan had been revived!

And the first thing he did upon revival was to go find Ye Chen's parents, and his cultivation had also reached Golden Core Fifth Level!

……

"I wonder how Xiao Chen is doing now."

Lin Ruoxi said worriedly in her heart. For some reason, she had a faint bad feeling in her heart, as if... something major was about to happen. This feeling made Lin Ruoxi very uncomfortable.

However, when she saw Zhang Xiaoxiao and Ji Yang, her mood improved considerably, because she saw Ye Chen's shadow in Zhang Xiaoxiao and Ji Yang. Although she had no evidence, by a mother's intuition, she knew that Zhang Xiaoxiao and Ji Yang must have some connection with Ye Chen.

"I don't know when these days will come to an end."

Zhang Hai grumbled from the side.

"Sigh, who knows, but fortunately our children have all stepped into cultivation. They're all at Qi Refining Eighth Level now, which is pretty decent, though not as outrageous as 'that person.'"

The last sentence Ji An said in a low voice, but inevitably, it was still heard by Lin Ruoxi.

She originally didn't have such a strong sixth sense, but after becoming pregnant with this child, her sixth sense grew stronger—at least more than ten times that of an ordinary person.

Just as Zhang Hai and Ji An were talking, Ye Nan and Zhi Ren Ye Chen walked out from the nearby grass.

Now they are taking turns to search for food—Ye Nan and Zhi Ren Ye Chen for three days, Zhang Hai and Ji An for three days—and today is also the last day that Ye Nan and Zhi Ren Ye Chen go out to search for food.

"Back?"

Lin Ruoxi gently looked toward Ye Nan and Zhi Ren.

"Mm."

Ye Nan smiled and replied to Lin Ruoxi.

Zhi Ren Ye Chen's expression was a bit stiff, but overall he didn't give himself away; he imitated Ye Chen's manner and said to Lin Ruoxi: "Mom, we've come back safely."
