Chapter 59: You're not a greenhorn either!

What do you mean?

Ye Chen asked the Cloudy Eye.

The stronger a person is, the more they receive the Heaven's Way's protection, but the Heaven's Way won't protect them forever, for everything in this world is equal. Having received the Heaven's Way's protection, they will naturally also suffer various calamities, thus maintaining the world's balance.

After the Cloudy Eye finished speaking, Ye Chen suddenly felt a sense of tension, a feeling of being targeted.

System, am I being watched by the Heaven's Way?

Unable to find an answer, Ye Chen asked the system.

【No, you won't be watched by the Heaven's Way, but what the Cloudy Eye said is not without reason, for this world is balanced.】

After the system finished speaking, Ye Chen remained silent for a while.

The Cloudy Eye cannot hear Ye Chen and the system's conversation, so it still thinks Ye Chen is thinking about his sister.

Forget it; when one cultivates and becomes strong enough to destroy everything, no one can do anything to me.

After saying that, Ye Chen sat on the bed and began cultivating.

Seeing Ye Chen begin to cultivate, the Cloudy Eye also stopped speaking.

But when Ye Chen began cultivating, the Cloudy Eye on his forehead suddenly opened its eyes.

Its eyes were full of shock.

This is the power of the Extreme Boundary!

After sensing Ye Chen's Extreme Boundary power, the Cloudy Eye did not close its eyes for a long time.

After a long time, it slowly said: "I indeed did not misjudge you; the mist on your body is too thick, I cannot see you clearly, but this is enough to prove that you must have a secret even I cannot imagine."

From the moment you began cultivating, I have noticed you; otherwise, I would not have gone to great lengths to let the Northern Sect's people come, to think of you, offend you, and let you come to kill them. From the start, I have noticed you, and now my purpose is fulfilled; my future is entirely in your hands.

The Cloudy Eye was talking to itself, while Ye Chen, in the midst of cultivating, heard none of its words.

After the Cloudy Eye finished speaking, it too fell into silence.

Ye Chen's cultivation lasted through the night; at dawn, he summoned the paper person Ye Chen and then left home.

He had not yet gone to Zhang Hai to get the medicinal herbs and stone materials; with those in Zhang Hai's hands, he could condense a formation to rescue Bai Lingling.

Not long after, Ye Chen arrived at Wanbao Pavilion; he had communicated with Zhang Hai on his way over, and Zhang Hai and Ji An had stayed at Wanbao Pavilion all night after hearing his words yesterday.

His daughter Zhang Xiaoxiao was also there, picked up in the early morning around three or four o'clock; Zhang Hai fetched her because he was worried about his daughter, and the reason it was so early was to avoid attracting attention.

After Ye Chen appeared at Wanbao Pavilion, Zhang Hai and Ji An's worried hearts settled at that moment upon seeing him.

Brother Ye, have things been settled?

Ji An was the first to ask; last night, Ye Chen's expression was extremely terrifying, so the moment Ye Chen appeared, Ji An left to ask him this.

Mm, settled.

After Ye Chen said that, Zhang Hai and Ji An both let out a sigh of relief.

Big brother, you've come!

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Zhang Xiaoxiao bounced over and leapt into his embrace; Ye Chen naturally caught her, and seeing this, Zhang Hai felt delighted.

Ye Chen liking and being close to her daughter shows he has goodwill toward their family, and also shows his relationship with Ye Chen can still progress; how could he not be happy?

Brother Zhang, give me the medicinal herbs and stone materials; I need them.

All right, wait, I'll get them for you right away.

After Zhang Hai said that, he turned to go get the medicinal herbs and stone materials for Ye Chen, but just as he turned, Ye Chen's voice suddenly sounded again.

Brother Zhang, wait a moment, I have something else to trouble you with.

Ye Chen's voice sounded, Zhang Hai turned and asked, "What else?"

I have a prescription here; help me gather these medicinal herbs.

Ye Chen said while handing the prescription to Zhang Hai; although Zhang Hai didn't understand the prescription, seeing the medicines on it, he instantly realized they were tonics for pregnancy.

Yo, Brother Ye, your sister-in-law is pregnant!

After Zhang Hai said that, Ye Chen's expression turned a bit awkward: "Well... actually she's not my wife; I'm single."

After Ye Chen said that, Zhang Hai showed an "I understand" expression, then said nothing and ran upstairs; only the hint of a smile on his face was peculiarly strange.

After Zhang Hai went upstairs, Zhang Xiaoxiao in Ye Chen's arms suddenly kissed him on the mouth.

Ye Chen, suddenly kissed by Zhang Xiaoxiao, immediately panicked.

Big brother, thank you.

Eh?!

Ye Chen, hearing Zhang Xiaoxiao say that, felt a bit dazed.

Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't understand Ye Chen's expression, but she knew it was Ye Chen who saved her life.

Big brother, my dad said you saved me; I don't know what saving is, but after you appeared, I no longer hurt, and I haven't had a comfortable sleep in a long time—thank you, big brother.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said this with a face full of sweet smiles; Ye Chen knew she was sincerely thanking him.

At this moment, Ye Chen's heart was suffering a ten-thousand-point critical hit!

It's fine.

Ye Chen replied with a smile.

Beside him, Ji An watched Ye Chen's reaction and only resented himself for not having a daughter, only having a son who annoyed him.

He also wanted a daughter; he wasn't holding a patriarchal bias, he simply wanted a daughter—who wouldn't want a soft, tender, sweet, fragrant daughter?

One "dad" after another—imagine how hard it is for old fathers to keep the corners of their mouths from lifting.

Big brother, when I grow up, will you marry me?

Ye Chen: "?!"

Ji An: "?!"

【Congratulations, host, for gaining the approval of a little fairy; although she's young, a dao companion must be cultivated from childhood—keep it up, host! The system believes in you!】

Ye Chen heard the system's words and exclaimed, "Holy shit!"

"System, this isn't okay; I'm no different from an animal like this."

"Just told you to raise it, what are you thinking? Dirty host, you make this system feel disgusted."

Ye Chen remained silent, because he was currently thinking about how to reject Zhang Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, Zhang Hai, who had just come down from upstairs, also looked puzzled.

At this moment he was thinking, "Just go upstairs for a bit, and my daughter got kidnapped!?"

"Ye Chen, you're not a yellow-haired punk either!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoxiao saw Ye Chen staying silent and not speaking, and thought he was unwilling, so a wronged little expression appeared on her face.

"Big brother, do you think I'm not good?"

How could he respond to that? He simply couldn't.

If he agreed and said okay, Zhang Xiaoxiao might take it seriously, which would be bad; she might cry, and now Ye Chen is torn between two options.

Fortunately, Zhang Hai timely came to his rescue.

"Xiaoxiao, don't cause trouble, you're still young; these things are only for when you grow up."

After hearing Zhang Hai's words, Zhang Xiaoxiao turned her head and asked Zhang Hai, "Then Dad, what counts as growing up?"

After Zhang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Zhang Hai fell silent for a moment, but soon he replied to Zhang Xiaoxiao, "When you grow as tall as your brother Ye Chen, that'll be enough."

After hearing Zhang Hai's words, Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded very seriously.

"Oh~ like that, I got it!"

Zhang Hai didn't know that afterwards, Zhang Xiaoxiao ate earnestly, slept on time, and eventually actually grew to be the same height as Ye Chen.
