Chapter 247: Being a Shield

Ye Liuyun was startled, about to ask.

Lin Xueying's Divine Sense had already sent a Transmission Voice.

"Junior brother, help senior sister once and drive away this annoying toad!"

Ye Liuyun's arm was embraced by her, feeling as if leaning on a soft flesh cushion, and his spirit swayed.

"Who is this person? Of the Blood Demon Sect? What does he want with you?" He then asked via Divine Sense Transmission Voice.

"This man is called Chu Heng, not only the Holy Son of the Blood Demon Sect but also an Alchemist. However, his reputation is bad; he flirts openly, as everyone knows. He says he came to visit our academy's Alchemist Ge Lao, but actually he just wants to use the chance to court me. I'm too lazy to deal with him, yet I can't offend Ge Lao's face. So junior brother, could you be a shield for me this time?" Lin Xueying pleaded via Transmission Voice.

Lin Xueying sent a Transmission Voice pleading.

"Oh, so that's it! A trivial matter! It's on me!" Upon hearing that he had to act and toy with this Blood Demon Sect disciple, Ye Liuyun instantly became spirited.

Immediately he cooperatively extended a hand and wrapped around Lin Xueying's soft waist!

"Ying"— Lin Xueying let out a low whimper as he held her.

"What are you doing to take advantage of me?" Lin Xueying asked via Transmission Voice, also giving Ye Liuyun a cold glance.

"Isn't this cooperating with your act? Naturally it has to look a bit realistic! Just follow my lead!"

Their Divine Senses transmitted voices, and they instantly reached an agreement.

However, all this was seen by the approaching Chu Heng, whose face instantly darkened and the murderous intent in his body surged.

He concealed it extremely well, instantly retracting the murderous intent. Yet this could not fool Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense.

Chu Heng's eyes looked at Ye Liuyun with a sinister glare. Yet to maintain a good image before Lin Xueying, he forced out a faint smile, pretending to be magnanimous.

"May I ask who you are?"

Only his cold gaze and that "gentle" smile were extremely mismatched, looking like a stroke patient.

Ye Liuyun saw his demeanor and felt a secret satisfaction.

"I am Xueying's fiancé. I'm heading to Red Soul Peak to propose to Master Xueying, to have her betrothed to me!"

Ye Liuyun held Lin Xueying's waist and gently stroked it, making Lin Xueying's face even redder.

Seeing their intimate behavior, Chu Heng finally could not hold back and erupted. His cold gaze fixed on Ye Liuyun: "Fiancé? What right do you have to be Xueying's fiancé?"

"And who are you? To meddle in our private affairs? I have no right, do you then have the right?" Ye Liuyun sneered coldly.

"Hmph! Ignorant! I, Chu Heng, am the Holy Son of the Blood Demon Sect, with Half-step Saint cultivation, and also a Heaven Tier Alchemist. Comparing qualifications with me, are you worthy? In any way can you surpass me?" Chu Heng said proudly, his voice full of contempt.

"So your pride rests on your strength and Alchemist title!" Ye Liuyun scoffed, mercilessly mocking: "Honestly, those two strengths are nothing in front of me!"

"What! You dare speak to this Holy Son like that!" Chu Heng was instantly provoked by Ye Liuyun's words, his expression raging, and a palm unleashed a blood-red True Essence Great Hand Seal, striking Ye Liuyun's head.

He growled, "I'll see what arrogant skill you have to be so brazen before me!"

"Junior brother, be careful!" Lin Xueying called anxiously from the side.

"Tch, just a Blood Demon Sect waste, what's so scary!"

Ye Liuyun finished speaking and casually threw a punch back.

Boom—!

Two True Essence forces collided, erupting a terrifying roar.

"Pfft!" Chu Heng was blasted to sit on the ground, his clothes and hair a tangled mess, looking miserable.

Yet Ye Liuyun still held Lin Xueying's waist, not moving a muscle.

"What a terrifying power, a casual punch can knock me down!" Chu Heng, watching Ye Liuyun's mocking expression, showed a puzzled look.

The aura from Ye Liuyun's earlier punch was clearly Sixth Sea Transformation, yet it wielded such immense power.

He had clearly given his all, yet still wasn't a match for Ye Liuyun. It seems brute force won't work!

At this moment, Lin Xueying wore an expression even more smug than Ye Liuyun's. Her delicate body pressed against Ye Liuyun's, she lifted her head slightly, looking at his steadfast face, exuding incomparable confidence and dominance, making her heart thump wildly.

Ye Liuyun's growth was truly rapid. He'd only entered the academy a short while ago, yet now with a raised hand he could fling a Half-step Saint away.

Only wonder if Ye Liuyun's heart holds her. If all this were real, how wonderful!

"But with so many women around junior brother, what am I then?"

For a moment, Lin Xueying began to overthink.

Ye Liuyun was focused on Chu Heng at that moment, never expecting Lin Xueying to be so lost in thought!

He stared at Chu Heng coldly and threatened, "What a Blood Demon Sect damn Holy Son, can't even take my casual punch, yet you have the nerve to show off at our Holy Martial Academy? Get lost, and don't trouble my fiancée again!"

"You..."

Chu Heng was furious but dared not strike Ye Liuyun again. Ye Liuyun's strength was indeed far superior; any further attack would only bring humiliation.

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and smiled, "I'm the Alchemist Ge Lao summoned, to assist in forging a Holy Pill. If you let me go, I'll see when Ge Lao holds me accountable, how you'll bear his anger!"

Upon hearing that, Lin Xueying's expression also turned sour. Though she despised Chu Heng, she dared not offend him harshly, lest Ge Lao blame her.

Chu Heng indeed possessed some talent in alchemy, especially his Qilin exotic fire, which ranked among the top in the alchemists' flame rankings! Otherwise Ge Lao wouldn't have invited him.

Ge Lao, in the Holy Martial Academy, is the Hall Master of the Spirit Medicine Hall; no one wishes to offend such an Alchemist.

Thus, Chu Heng's threat also made Lin Xueying's complexion sour.

When Chu Heng saw Lin Xueying's expression, he immediately smiled smugly. "What are you, just a bunch of brute strength, yet you dare to fight this Holy Son!"

Yet at this moment Ye Liuyun's face showed no fear, only a hint of mockery.

Chu Heng felt an ominous premonition, as if everything was under Ye Liuyun's control. That feeling made him very uneasy.

"You kid really can act!"

Chu Heng sneered coldly.

He didn't believe Ye Liuyun could have any ability surpassing his. Otherwise, how could he have never heard of this kid's name before!

Ye Liuyun's mouth twitched slightly, as if seeing Chu Heng's thoughts.

"Isn't it just a Heaven Tier Alchemist? Too bad, I am too!"

"Indeed, junior brother can also do alchemy! Just don't know what level he's at now!" Lin Xueying suddenly recalled that Ye Liuyun could also practice alchemy.

"You are also an alchemist?" Chu Heng gaped, looking at him in disbelief.

Immediately he recovered. "So what if I'm an alchemist? What Elder Ge fancied is my auspicious beast's extraordinary fire!"

As he spoke, he opened his hand, and a scarlet flame flickered in his palm.

"Do you have this strange fire?" Chu Heng, while showing off his strange fire, provocatively looked at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun shook his head helplessly.

Chu Heng still thought he was admitting inferiority, about to yield, and burst into wild laughter.

But Ye Liuyun immediately said: "What a frog in a well! The people of the Xuemo Sect are truly a bunch of trash!"

As he spoke, he also opened his palm, and the Golden Crow Holy Fire flickered in his hand.
