Chapter 613: Perform More Good Deeds
"Believe it or not, destroying your Dao Lineage of cultivation is merely a matter of a single thought for me," Chen Yu said sternly.
"I was wrong, I was truly wrong, please spare me," Qianshou Xian trembled.
"I can spare you, but you haven't harmed few people over these years. Letting you go out to perform more good deeds and accumulate more hidden virtue is the orthodox way of cultivation; don't you understand that?" Chen Yu asked.
"I understand, I will definitely perform more good deeds when I go out in the future," Qianshou Xian cried bitterly.
With a slash of his right hand, the two horns on this fellow's head were severed by Chen Yu. Qianshou Xian transformed into human form and cried bitterly: "Immortal Master, these two horns of mine were only cultivated with great difficulty; you, you cannot take them away."
"This is where your opportunity lies. You have committed too many evils in the past, so I am temporarily taking them back. From now on, you shall leave this place. Perform more good deeds; once you have accumulated the corresponding hidden virtue, these things will naturally be returned to you."
Chen Yu said indifferently: "But if you continue like this in the future, then don't blame me for using these things of yours as medicine."
"Yes, yes, I know. I won't dare to harm people in the future, I promise," Qianshou Xian knelt on the ground and kowtowed incessantly.
"Enough, get lost," Chen Yu waved his hand.
Qianshou Xian didn't even dare to let out a fart. She turned around, transformed into her original form, and plunged into the Underground Dark River. A black shadow flashed in the riverbed and disappeared without a trace.
Chen Yu walked to Ye Qingning's side and pinched her philtrum. Ye Qingning exhaled a breath of turbid air and then slowly woke up.
Regarding Ye Qingning, Chen Yu felt somewhat unsure of how to face her.
Looking at the scratch marks on his own hands just now, they matched her fingernails. Recalling the Fallen Demon Tribulation before his promotion, Chen Yu felt somewhat ashamed. This was likely not a dream; at the time, the only woman by his side was Ye Qingning, and with her claw marks on his body, he had likely had relations with her unintentionally.
This left Chen Yu truly not knowing what to do. She was, after all, a direct descendant of the Ye Clan and held one-third of the Ye Clan's power.
"Are you alright?" Chen Yu asked.
"I'm fine, just a bit dizzy. Where is that monster?" Ye Qingning asked with some fear.
"It has already left. We can take the Cranberry Flowing Heart now," Chen Yu said.
Ye Qingning steadied herself and sat upright. Chen Yu also woke Wang Yu up, then walked over to the Cranberry Flowing Heart.
This Half-Spirit Grade medicine would have completely formed into a Spirit Medicine if given more time.
Once it formed into a Spirit Medicine, it would possess self-awareness, and at that time, it could make the four seas its home and take root anywhere.
Unfortunately, it no longer had that opportunity. Chen Yu removed one of the largest fruits and placed it in his palm.
Seeing that after this fruit was removed, the remaining fruits lost their luster and slowly withered.
Chen Yu put away the Cranberry Flowing Heart and placed it into his Space Bracelet. With this, his mission for the trip to Hunan Province was considered successfully completed.
"The item is in hand, let's go back." Chen Yu looked around; this Underground Dark River extended in all directions, and he feared it would be difficult to find a way out for a while.
"Mr. Chen, Jiwu Lingtai and I came in from that direction. If we return the way we came, we should be able to find the exit," Wang Yu pointed to the opposite bank of the river.
"Good, let's return the way we came from there." Chen Yu glanced at that direction and nodded. Since they didn't know the way out, it was best to return the way they came.
Fortunately, they were lucky this time; following the original path, the group walked all the way to the cave entrance.
"Brother Chen, is that you, Brother Chen?" Just as they exited the cave, someone was shouting in the distance. This person was Li Cheng, and it had already been two days since they had parted ways.
"Brother Li." Chen Yu waved his hand.
"Over here, found them!" Li Cheng and the others ran over.
"Brother Chen, we finally found you. These past few days we sent people to search the mountains and even found geologists to analyze the layout within the mountain, planning to rescue you," Li Cheng said, feeling extremely excited to see Chen Yu.
After all, the one who had gone missing this time was the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, so the pressure on the Ning City side was immense. Several departments were dispatched to search, and the top official of Ning City was panicked to the extreme. After all, the Ye Family was an Aristocratic Family, and although the old master of the Ye Family hadn't appeared much in recent years due to illness, the foundation was still there.
If anything happened to the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, he would really have to weigh his own future promotion prospects.
But fortunately, the people were found, and everyone could finally feel relieved.
"Brother Li, I'm really sorry for making everyone worry. We are fine," Chen Yu laughed.
"Sister, Sister, you're finally back." Ye Qinglong wailed as he ran over from the side. This fellow's eyes were red; he probably hadn't slept much these past two days.
He and Ye Qingning had lost their parents when they were young, and the two siblings had grown up hand in hand. If anything had really happened to Ye Qingning, he truly wouldn't have known what to do.
"Alright, I'm fine. This time, it's all thanks to Mr. Chen." Ye Qingning looked at her younger brother, her heart aching. Ye Qinglong used to not take anything to heart.
Seeing him after not seeing him for a few days, he had lost a whole circle of weight; it seemed he had been extremely worried about her.
"It's my fault. I am a man, and the future of the Ye Family should be carried by me, but I couldn't help at all." Ye Qinglong cried bitterly. These words came from the bottom of his heart; he was truly blaming himself.
The grandfather was the grandfather of both of them, but ever since the grandfather fell ill, his sister had been running around for everything, and he hadn't been able to help at all. This time, he had even let his sister fall into danger; he regretted his own incompetence.
"Alright, it's fine now. The item is in hand, and Grandfather can be saved." Ye Qingning hugged Ye Qinglong, and the two siblings shed tears of sorrow.
"Chen Yu, thank you. Our Ye Family owes you," Ye Qinglong walked up to Chen Yu and said through gritted teeth.
"Change your young master's temperament. You are a man; the future of the Ye Family depends on you," Chen Yu glanced at this fellow.
"I know, I will," Ye Qinglong nodded fiercely.
Suddenly, he saw several purple marks under Chen Yu's neck. With Ye Qinglong's experience of frequenting various pleasure quarters, it wasn't hard to tell that these were hickeys.
His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at his sister in shock. The thing he feared most had happened. Chen Yu had been with his sister for these past few days, could it be...
Ye Qingning also noticed the strange look in her brother's eyes. She quickly turned her head and said: "Let's go back first and discuss what to do next."
"Good." Chen Yu also felt that Ye Qinglong's gaze was a bit strange, but he still didn't know that there were hickeys on his neck.
As the group headed back, Ye Qinglong walked at the very end and grabbed Chen Yu: "Chen Yu, where did the hickeys on your neck come from?"
"Neck? Hickeys?" Chen Yu was completely confused; he really hadn't noticed the few hickeys on his neck.
Ye Qinglong took out his phone, opened the front-facing camera, and said with some resentment: "Look for yourself."
Chen Yu quickly took it and looked, his heart shocked. He was already certain that it hadn't been a hallucination when he underwent the Fallen Demon Tribulation; the woman in the haze was definitely Ye Qingning.
But why was she pretending that nothing had happened? Was she afraid that he would feel guilty?
"I..." Facing Ye Qinglong's questioning gaze, Chen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I will give you an explanation."
"Because of our grandfather's situation, my sister has never been close to any man. You, you pig," Ye Qinglong said through gritted teeth.
