Chapter 42: All Settled Here

Ye Chen arrived at the window of Li Yan's house; it was not yet lunchtime, obviously Li Yan's family ate early, and they had already started preparing lunch.

Li Yan sat at the dining table, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Mom, why won't you let me go to school? Why do I have to transfer again this time? I don't want to transfer, I haven't yet given that guy the lesson he deserves! Why must I transfer!"

Li Yan shouted loudly, clearly very dissatisfied with his mother's actions.

"Child, they're all bullying you, they're a bunch of bad kids; don't follow them and learn bad habits. You're quite outstanding, you should make friends with outstanding children. As for that guy named Ye Chen, just treat him like a fart and forget him."

After hearing Li Yan's mother's words, Ye Chen's face was full of shock.

"Is this really something a person could say? Or perhaps something a carbon-based life form could say?"

Ye Chen only felt that his worldview had suffered a severe blow.

"No, Mom, since you know I'm so outstanding, you should know I will definitely make him pay the price!"

Li Yan said this confidently.

"Alright, my dear, why bother with that kind of person? Staying with him long will only let his dirty influence affect you, my dear, you wouldn't want that, would you?"

Ye Chen: "!??!"

He was utterly shocked; he never expected Li Yan's mother to be so adept at twisting right and wrong, turning good into bad and bad into good.

"It's no wonder Li Yan turned out this way; parents are partly to blame, but the root cause is that this kid is just naturally bad."

"Alright, enough talk, hurry up and eat; after eating we need to find a new school for Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan, don't take it too hard; you must know you're the most outstanding, that guy named Ye Chen doesn't even compare to a single hair of yours, and you've been holding a grudge against him."

After hearing Li Yan's father's words, Ye Chen felt even more shocked, as if he had been instantly killed by an ordinary person.

Ye Chen could no longer tolerate the Li family; his divine sense instantly unfolded, after infiltrating the consciousness of Li Yan's parents, he swaggered into Li Yan's house.

Li Yan now noticed something odd with his parents; he looked at them puzzled, "Mom, Dad, what's wrong? Why have you suddenly stopped speaking?"

Li Yan looked at his parents bewildered, utterly puzzled as to why they had suddenly become dazed.

"You don't need to shout; they won't answer you."

Ye Chen slowly stepped into the room; with each step he took, the electronic devices inside gradually failed, of course the first to fail being the camera.

When Li Yan saw Ye Chen, his little face was full of shock.

"You! How did you end up here!"

"Is that shocking?" Ye Chen said with a smile; he didn't know that his smile looked extremely terrifying in Li Yan's eyes.

"What, what do you want to do?"

Li Yan asked Ye Chen in terror; because he was so afraid, his voice trembled even as he spoke.

When Ye Chen heard Li Yan's words, the smile at the corner of his mouth grew ever colder.

"Me? I'm obviously here to kill you."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Li Yan only felt his whole body turn icy cold, as if he were stuck in ten-thousand-year-old black ice.

Li Yan unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva; although he was young, he knew fear, and at this moment Ye Chen's killing intent had locked onto Li Yan; Li Yan didn't know what was happening, but he knew Ye Chen really dared to kill him.

"No, you can't kill me; I'm so outstanding, my mother said I will surely become a dragon among men, a great person!"

After hearing Li Yan's words, Ye Chen's cold smile became even more evident.

"Hah, a great person? Go dream about it."

Having said that, Ye Chen stopped wasting words with Li Yan, released his divine sense to erode Li Yan's soul; almost instantly Li Yan's soul suffered heavy damage, his gaze gradually turned dull, and the next moment Li Yan went "thud" and collapsed to the ground.

Ye Chen originally wanted Li Yan to lie in bed for the rest of his life with his memories intact, but the system said a chaotic age was coming; if Li Yan ever got an opportunity and some unpredictable variable arose, it would leave Ye Chen in a very passive position.

To eliminate that possibility, Ye Chen still decided to kill Li Yan, eradicating future trouble.

【You have slain the demon child; when facing a demon child whose power vastly outmatches yours, you felt not a trace of fear, and even went on to slay the demon child—such battle power is simply terrifying; seeing the host grow so quickly, this system feels greatly relieved, so it will not grant the host any rewards.】

Upon hearing the system's words, Ye Chen instantly couldn't hold back.

"Holy shit! Dog system, get out here! I promise I won't beat you to death!"

【Please, host, stay calm; I know you're anxious, but don't rush.】

After hearing the system's words, Ye Chen immediately indicated he had nothing to say.

He no longer paid attention to the system; after glancing at Li Yan, he jumped out the window and left Li Yan's house, and while leaving he also undid the divine sense seal on Li Yan's parents.

Not long after he lifted the divine sense seal on Li Yan's parents, the room filled with their heart-wrenching cries.

Ye Chen heard the heart-wrenching cries of Li Yan's parents, but he felt nothing; Li Yan's parents didn't discipline their child, letting him run wild, and since Li Yan was already bad, they hadn't guided him onto the right path—this is why today's tragedy occurred.

As for all this, Ye Chen could only say it was Li Yan's parents' own fault.

After doing all that, he turned and headed toward the kindergarten; as he was on the way, his phone watch suddenly rang; he raised it and saw it was Ji An calling.

"The private auction is tomorrow; now Ji An is calling me, likely there's news about the medicinal herbs."

Ye Chen thought that, then answered Ji An's call.

"Hey, Elder Brother Ji, any news on the medicinal herbs?"

Ye Chen directly asked Ji An.

"Yeah, there's news; do you have time now? If so, come over."

After Ji An finished, Ye Chen immediately replied: "I'm free now; tell me a location, I'll come right away."

"Right at my Wanbao Pavilion; come over now."

"Okay."

Ye Chen said that, then hung up and hurried toward Wanbao Pavilion.

As he was about to reach Wanbao Pavilion, he put on his cloak; instantly his appearance and aura underwent a huge change; after doing that, Ye Chen entered Wanbao Pavilion.

Before he even entered Wanbao Pavilion, he saw Ji An waiting at the doorway.

Seeing that, Ye Chen walked over to Ji An.

Not long after Ye Chen started walking, Ji An spotted him, walked over with a beaming face, and said, "Junior Brother Ye, hurry up, hurry up; the few medicinal ingredients you sent me about have all been traced."

"Really, thank you for the trouble, Elder Brother Ji."

Ye Chen said politely.

"Ye younger brother, don't say that, it's too formal,"

Ji An placed his hand on Ye Chen's shoulder and said.
