Chapter 99

Huh? There's a little kid?

The girl noticed Ye Chen, and Ye Chen turned pale with shock — after all, he had approached while concealing his aura, and his strength was immense; she shouldn't have been able to detect him.

Little brother, it's dangerous out there alone!

The girl said with a giggle, and her figure swiftly rushed toward Ye Chen.

Little brother, what's your name?

The girl chattered on like a motormouth, never stopping.

Little brother, why aren't you speaking? What's your name?

The girl didn't know Ye Chen was stunned at that moment.

Hey!

Ye Chen heard that 'hey' and reacted.

He sensed that the girl had no ill intent, and since the system remained silent, he simply told her his name.

I am Ye... Yuan.

Ye Chen had intended to say his name, but he changed it at the last moment, for the experts outside Xingkong were now sending people to look for him, so it was better to be careful.

Oh, so you're Ye Yuan; I thought you were Ye Chen.

Huh? What do you mean?

Never mind that, I'm Yun Yun!

And just as Yun Yun finished saying her name, the system's voice suddenly sounded.

【A woman possessing the Myriad Spirit Body, it is advised that the host subdue her, but given the host's trash-level combat power, this is nearly impossible; moreover, she carries many formidable treasures on her person, any one of which could annihilate the host. The host would be best off making nice with her, otherwise he's likely to be done for.】

【But the host need not worry too much, for many of those treasures she cannot activate.】

After the system finished speaking, Ye Chen received an important piece of information: Yun Yun possessed many treasures on her person, whose power was extraordinary, but she could not activate them; this was undoubtedly good news for him.

Do you know Ye Chen's whereabouts?

Yun Yun asked, and after she finished asking, Ye Chen's heart instantly became wary.

Why are you looking for him?

Ye Chen asked.

Because I want to find him; I want to see what kind of person this Ye Chen, whom they constantly think about, really is.

Too bad I don't know him.

Ye Chen said, his face full of helplessness, as if feeling guilty for being unable to help Yun Yun.

It's fine; that old geezer sent me here — no, he threw me down. That damned old geezer, when I go back I'll pluck out his beard!

After Yun Yun finished saying that, Gu Lan in Xingkong sneezed; he calculated with his fingers and discovered someone was cursing him, but the chaotic heavenly secrets prevented him from figuring out who was cursing him; nevertheless, without much thought he knew who it was.

This little brat.

Gu Lan said, stroking his white beard, and gave a gentle smile.

Gu Lan didn't know that soon his white beard would suffer.

……

At this moment, Ye Chen looked at the formidable Yun Yun before him, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was the old man's fortune or the old man's 'fortune'.

Little brother Ye Yuan, follow me; from now on I'll protect you! Let me tell you, I'm quite strong!

Yun Yun said proudly and complacently.

Hun Yan, what cultivation level does she have? I can't sense it; she must have some treasure that conceals her cultivation.

Golden Core second level.

After Hun Yan said that, Ye Chen felt helpless; such cultivation level was not even enough to face the enemies that were about to come upon him.

However, seeing Ye Chen silent, Yun Yun thought he was secretly marveling in his heart.

Yun Yun came up to Ye Chen, grabbed his collar, and said, 'Little brother, come on, I'll take you to look for treasures!'

Having said that, without waiting for Ye Chen to refuse, Yun Yun hauled him away.

Seeing Yun Yun so enthusiastic, Ye Chen helplessly shook his head, 'Sometimes too much enthusiasm isn't a good thing.'

Ye Chen thought to himself.

At this moment, Yun Yun took Ye Chen flying westward, but her speed was truly pitiful. Although she was at Golden Core level, to Ye Chen her speed was really too slow.

Just as Ye Chen and Yun Yun were flying westward, Hun Yan suddenly told him that Huang Yun was not far away, and her cultivation had already broken through to Nascent Soul.

Her cultivation isn't increasing that fast even if she rode a rocket!

Ye Chen shouted in his heart.

She's merely recovering her former strength; it's nothing remarkable.

After Hun Yan said that, Ye Chen felt a bit better.

By the way, let me remind you: the anomalies on this planet are about to end, and hidden clans, ancient bloodlines, heavenly treasures and the like are about to appear.

Alright, I got it.

Perhaps not long from now, the genius competition on your planet will begin.

Shouldn't we jointly resist external enemies?

Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

The genius that emerges victorious will be this planet's hope.

After Hun Yan said that, Ye Chen said nothing more.

He can choose not to compete, but Zhang Xiaoxiao, Ji Yang, and the others cannot avoid competing.

At the dawn of a chaotic age, troubles really come one after another.

Ye Chen said.

After you experience it a few more times, you'll understand; this is an experience that must be undergone in the development of the Spirit Qi stage.

By the way, where is Yun Yun preparing to take me now?

Ye Chen asked, and he really didn't know where Yun Yun was preparing to take him.

She really is taking you to look for the Heavenly Treasure.

Huh?!

In the direction she's coming from, there is a stalk of medicine containing immense life force; if picked and given to your mother, it will surely bring her unforeseen benefits, and for your sister it is also a rare precious medicine.

That good to me?

Ye Chen was shocked, and suddenly his heart felt a bit moved.

Don't get too happy too early; she might be looking for it for herself.

After hearing Hunyan's words, Ye Chen felt as if a basin of cold water had suddenly been poured over his head.

Actually, you don't need to splash the cold water so quickly.

Ye Chen said.

Let's have a look first; maybe it's for you; I can see that this little girl has an extremely good nature.

Okay.

Along the way, Yun Yun would from time to time talk with Ye Chen, but most of the time Ye Chen couldn't get a word in.

Yun Yun's mouth is like an unclosable horn, constantly going 'pa pa'.

Ye Chen really wishes he could master flight, wants the medicine to get there quickly; in his view, Yun Yun's speed is really too slow.

After about three hours of flight, Yun Yun finally brought Ye Chen to the destination.

Ye Chen looked at this place, sensed the many corpses, and instantly realized this was once M Country, though now there are no people.

Ye Chen suddenly understood why this place would give birth to a medicine with immense life force: because many people had died here.

And after he collected those people's souls, the life force in his body had not yet fully dissipated; soon after, an anomaly began, grasses or flowers gained sentience, absorbed this life force, and thus became medicines with immense life force.

Ye Chen realized that if he hadn't come to slaughter those people, this stalk of medicine might not have come into being.

This is karma.

Ye Chen sighed emotionally, and at that moment Yun Yun suddenly spoke.

Xiao Yuan Yuan, we've arrived.

Ye Chen: "?!"
