Chapter 13

Ye Chen stared at An Yu's extremely firm gaze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In Taekwondo self-defense, against a man of similar build, she barely has any strength to fight back.

Moreover, Taekwondo's stance is unstable, making it easy to be caught off guard.

Ye Chen thought it over and still felt An Yu shouldn't learn this, but since she had already signed up, he couldn't let her not learn now.

Ye Chen thought of this and suddenly recalled the Taiji Double Fish Diagram he had just obtained today, which contains the idea of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds—using weakness to overcome strength—making it perfect for An Yu to learn.

"Xiao An Yu, I have a superior martial art here—do you want to learn it?"

After Ye Chen said that, An Yu looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Really? Brother Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen looked at An Yu's eyes, finding it hard to bear that gaze full of admiration.

"Really, and it doesn't take much of your time."

"I want to learn!"

An Yu's words almost came out before Ye Chen had finished speaking.

Ye Chen, seeing this, lightly nodded and took out the Supreme Health Pill the system had given him from his pocket.

This item has the effect of improving the physique of ordinary people; Ye Chen didn't mind and simply gave it to An Yu.

An Yu looked at the "Supreme Health Pill" in Ye Chen's hand and asked curiously, "Brother Ye Chen, what is this?"

"This is... candy."

"Candy? Xiao Yu loves eating candy the most!"

An Yu took the Supreme Health Pill from Ye Chen's hand and put it in her mouth to chew.

She had just put it in her mouth when her little brow furrowed slightly; she looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression, "Brother Ye Chen, you liar! This isn't candy, it's so bitter! Brother Ye Chen, you lied to me! I'm ignoring Brother Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen: "?!"

"Bitter?"

Ye Chen, puzzled, took out the Supreme Health Pill and put it in his mouth; the moment it entered his mouth, he instantly put on a pained expression.

He wanted to spit it out, but since An Yu hadn't spat hers out, he felt embarrassed to do so; he had no choice but to swallow it.

"Hasty, it's so bitter."

"Hmph! Brother Ye Chen is a liar!"

Hearing An Yu's words, Ye Chen hurriedly explained, "I'm not."

"You are!"

"Not..."

"You are!"

【You actually angered a fairy maiden; this is no small matter, given the fairy maiden's background, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant. It is advised that the host run away, preferably change identity, otherwise your life may be in danger.】

Ye Chen heard the system's words; he could ignore the latter part, but the former let him confirm that An Yu was truly angry.

Ye Chen scratched his head embarrassedly and said to An Yu, "An Yu sister, I was wrong."

An Yu merely turned her head away upon hearing Ye Chen's words, not looking at him.

Ye Chen, seeing this, felt a headache; thus he sought help from the system: "System, how do you coax a little girl?"

【You have angered the fairy maiden; your life is already in danger, the best course now is to flee immediately.】

Ye Chen heard the system's words, knowing the system was now unreliable, so he apologized to An Yu again.

"An Yu sister, I really know I was wrong; I'll buy you candy later, okay?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen say he would buy her candy, An Yu instantly smiled happily and asked him, "Really?"

Seeing An Yu smile, Ye Chen quickly nodded and replied, "Sure thing!"

"Hehe, then I won't be angry with Brother Ye Chen anymore."

【A man who spends his life apologizing.】

Ye Chen was instantly speechless upon hearing the system's words.

"System, if you don't speak now, no one will take you for a mute."

However, after Ye Chen finished speaking, the system did not reply.

At that moment, the class bell rang, and Ye Chen and An Yu began a new round of taekwondo practice.

Bai Hua's teaching was very basic; Ye Chen almost learned it at a glance.

As for An Yu, I don't know if it's because she took the Supreme Health Pill, but she found the learning very easy; Bai Hua's movements, she also learned them almost at a glance.

Seeing this, Bai Hua couldn't help but exclaim, "She's really a promising seedling for learning taekwondo."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but think, "With such talent, learning his Taiji would be great—this is an immortal art!"

Although An Yu lacks spiritual energy support, in terms of practicality and power, it still surpasses taekwondo.

The class period passed quickly; next was a half-hour self-study to review the movements Bai Hua taught today.

Since An Yu had already learned Bai Hua's movements and didn't need to review, Ye Chen used the self-study time to teach her Taiji.

Taiji emphasizes overcoming hardness with softness, using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds; when strength is unequal, it often produces remarkable effects.

Ye Chen only taught her the basics; further study would require spiritual energy support, which An Yu lacks, so she cannot practice more.

However, even just the basics should be enough to benefit An Yu for a lifetime, after all, this is an immortal art.

As An Yu practiced, she suddenly said to Ye Chen, "Brother Ye Chen, when will you buy me candy?"

After saying that, An Yu looked at Ye Chen with full expectation, but Ye Chen felt his pockets were even emptier than his face, so he reluctantly said to An Yu, "How about next Monday?"

"Mm-hmm, sure!"

After receiving An Yu's reply, Ye Chen felt relieved.

He now fears An Yu becoming angry again.

The half-hour self-study was spent learning Ye Chen's Taiji, and Ye Chen himself was also studying Taiji; when he left the taekwondo hall, his Taiji Double Fish Diagram had reached a 2% completion degree.

The system again, during this period, also said a sentence.

The general meaning is that Ye Chen's cultivation talent is truly terrifying; if he can grow up, he will certainly not fall in the Great Calamity.

After the system finished speaking, Ye Chen instantly grasped the keyword—"Great Calamity".

But when Ye Chen asked the system what the Great Calamity was, the system stopped speaking.

The system's silence is always so sudden.

"Ye Chen brother, remember to buy me candy~"

An Yu said with a smile to Ye Chen.

"Okay."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, An Yu said goodbye to Ye Chen, then ran toward her father—An Lan.

Before getting in the car, An Yu turned around and waved at Ye Chen; seeing that, Ye Chen also waved goodbye to An Yu.

After An Yu got in the car and left, Ye Chen still hadn't seen his father, but he did see his car.

"This old fogey, where did he run off to? When I go back I'll definitely sue him and have Mom tidy him up."

"Who are you going to sue?"

Ye Nan's voice suddenly sounded from behind Ye Chen; hearing Ye Nan's voice, Ye Chen instantly turned his head, and as soon as he turned he saw Ye Nan with a face full of black lines.

Just now Ye Chen was thinking how to get Ye Nan to produce some of his private money, and thus didn't notice Ye Nan coming up behind him.

Ye Chen coughed embarrassedly twice and said, "Nothing."

"Tch."

"Um... Dad..."

Seeing Ye Chen's sullen face, Ye Nan said with a face full of disdain: "A real man, why speak timidly? Just say what's on your mind; even if the sky falls, I'll make it up for you."

"Really?"

"Really, little brother."

"I want some of your private money."

Upon hearing Ye Chen ask for his private money, Ye Nan's face instantly showed a pained expression.

"I only have that little bit of private money, and you want to take it too? Do you still want your father to live?"

Hearing Ye Nan's words, Ye Chen crossed his arms over his chest and said: "Just now you said that even if the sky falls you'd make it up for me, yet now you won't even give me a bit of private money."

"That's my life!"

"Later, when I make money, I'll let you live in a big mansion and drive a luxury car—how about that?"

"This pie is too big; I can't eat it."

"Even if you can't eat it, you have to! It's happily decided like this; otherwise I'll go back and tell Mom where you hid your private money."

Upon hearing that, Ye Nan loudly cursed Ye Chen as an unfilial son.

"How on earth did you find out where I hid my private money?"

"Heaven's secrets must not be leaked."

Ye Chen pretended to be profound and said.

"Unfilial son!"
