Chapter 38: YE HAN ( END OF VOL 2)
Three days have passed after the raid from Dark Guild, and I have finished building two towers, and almost finished with the third tower. I then remember that this tonight will be the night where Ye Han returns. And as I expected, Ye Shuo personally comes and invites me to the banquet tonight. I then accept it and quickly finish the tower constructing and directly go home.
' Phew. I am beaten. Might take some time sleeping. ' is what I thought, but since I have a schedule tonight, so I then prepare myself for the banquet. I wear a golden Changshan with black dragon on the left side, red phoenix on the right side and golden QiLin on the back. After making sure that everything is okay, I then tell Shen Xiu to follow me. Shen Xiu then gets changed. She is wearing a golden cheongsam with nine tailed fox pattern.
The City Lord's mansion.
There are already a huge crowd! To think that there will be such great celebration when Ye Han returns. I envied him, as when I return, not even my father make a banquet, but I make it by myself. I sighed with that thought.
" LinJian. Why are you heaving a sigh? " someone asked as he patted my shoulder.
I look at the one who pat my shoulder. He is a young man with black hair. If my memory of the manga and LinJian's previous memory is correct, he is Ye Han, the adopted son of City Lord.
" Haha. Nothing. It is just that I am very tired after some work. " I said as I forced a smile.
" Heh. What work? Flirting with girls? " Shen Fei's arrogant tone is coming from Ye Han's back. " Ah! Don't tell me that you are into old women, since you even steal auntie Shen Xiu from us. " he added as he ridicules me.
HuYan LanRuo is staying behind as she watches me with a sad face.
" You still dare to show yourself before me you trash? " I snorted in disdain causing Ye Han to startle. " I don't even care if your old man is here backing you up. " I added, which resulted Shen Hong bursting in anger as he used his soul force to hit me, but as a result, he got intercepted by the City Lord, my father, HuYan Xiong, Xiao YunFeng and Shen Xiu.
" Wha.. What? Even Shen Xiu? Since when have you reached Black Gold Rank my sister? " Shen Hong asked as blood flows from the corner of his mouth and he wipes it.
" ... " Shen Xiu doesn't answer him.
" What? Feeling sorry for betraying the family? If you wish to come back, then we will still accept you. " Shen Hong said.
" ... " Shen Xiu doesn't say anything again as she glared at Shen Hong with anger and disgust.
" ... Fine. If you don't want to talk, I won't push it." Shen Hong said as he sits again.
" Do you want me to really cripple you? Last time I was too generous for using the Nine Transformation Pill for you, but this time, I will not let you have some anymore. " I said as I kicked the floor a few times.
Seeing how I kicked the floor, Shen Fei feels his leg goes soft and he wet himself.
" Heh. A Sacred Family's successor wet himself in the public. Now this is quite the show. " I said as I laughed.
" LinJian. What's wrong with you? You have changed a lot from the last time I saw you. " Ye Han said anxiously.
" People changes. In the past, Shen Fei was not a trash like this. But now, he is a lowly womanizer, a defiler. He always do what he wants with the maidens of minor and noble family that he can target. " I said in disdain as I pick him up by his collar and throw him out.
" This place is not for coward and useless trash like you! Never show yourself before me again or you will pay badly! And if you dare bully the citizen or defile any maidens, see how I deal with you! " I shouted angrily.
I can hear someone saying that I am overbearing, rude, shameless, etc. I paid no mind as I look directly at the old fox. He is glaring at me like crazy.
" Why are you glaring at me like that? " I asked while glaring at Shen Hong.
" *sigh. Young Master Chen. I think that you have gone too far! Do you need to treat my descendant like that? " Shen Hong asked as he forced a smile.
" Why shouldn't I? He should have long been castrated for defiling many maidens in Glory City. As the Patriarch, no. As his own Father, how come you approve his act? " I said in. disdain.
" Brat. Don't you dare lecture me! " Shen Hong said coldly.
" Hmph. I agree with what my son said. That son of yours is beyond saving already as what my son has said, the punishment that had been delivered just now is still too light." Chen ZhengLong said.
" Hmph. Brother Shen. You sucks at disciplining your son. Maybe that's why my daughter has not even the slightest interest in your son, while she praises my son-in-law there highly. " HuYan Xiong said.
When I heard this, I looked at HuYan LanRuo, and she is hiding behind a pillar and sneak at me while blushing.
' So cute!! '
" Haha. Stop these useless arguments. Tonight we are having a feast in this happy occasion, so let's fully enjoy ourselves! " Ye Zong said.
" Hmph. I will excuse myself as I have lost interest in this banquet because of the scene I witness just now. " Shen Hong said as he rises and leaves.
I approach HuYan LanRuo who is hiding behind a pillar.
" Ruo'er. Is that true? What your Father says just now is from you right? " I asked.
" N.. No. " HuYan LanRuo said as he pouted.
" Why are you like this? " I asked.
" N.. Nothing. " She said as she continues pouting.
" Is it because of my engagement with Shen Xiu? " I asked.
" ... " HuYan LanRuo is not answering.
" Hmm. I guessed it on mark. So, you are basically jealous eh? " I said teasingly.
" S..Shut up! It's not like I am ... " before she finished talking, I assaulted her lips, while we are not on the patriarch's vision. She resisted me, but not for long, as she surrenders.
" Now, feel like talking? " I asked.
" En! I am angry, because you are engaged to her her before me. " she said as she pouted.
" Eh? I proposed to you earlier then Shen Xiu you know? Besides, it doesn't matter who I am engaged to first, since I will cherrish you all from the depth of my heart. " I said as I kiss her forehead.
" Ahem! LinJian. What's gotten to you? You are bolder and merciless than how you are supposed to be in the past. " Ye Han said awkwardly as he coughs.
" Hey. Ye Han. Can't you see that we are having fun right now? " I said.
" ... Well, sorry for interrupting then. " he said as he leaves.
" Just now you said all, so is it me and Shen Xiu? " HuYan LanRuo asked.
" Hmm? Yun'er, Ning'Er, Ruo'er, Xin'er, Xiu'er. For now there are 5, and probably will increase in the future. " I said while smiling.
" Hmm. So many. Are you sure you can uphold your promise? " LanRuo asked as she clings to me and breath heavily.
" Yes. And can you stop that Ruo'er. We are at the banquet right now. " I said as I forced a smile and push her.
" Hey. LinJian. Did you say Yun'er just now? Is it Little sister ZiYun? " Ye Han asked me while coldly staring at me.
" Hmm? Yes. Is that a problem? And why do you eavesdrop?" I asked.
" Yes. Since when I approve you marrying ZiYun? I will be the one that will marry her! " Ye Han said.
" Hmm. So basically you are implying that you are worthy of ZiYun ? " I asked.
" I am a 3 star Gold Rank already, so why I am not worthy of her? " Ye Han asked.
" Sorry to drop the fun, but ... " I whispers at his ear.
" Don't say this out loud. ZiYun has already reached Black Gold Rank already. You think you are still worthy for her? " I asked, and then he can only sweat and sigh.
" No wonder my foster father isn't really happy when he knew that I have reached 3 star Gold Rank. " he said with a disheartened tone.
" Well, I can help you raise your cultivation. " I said.
" Really? " Ye Han said happily.
" But I want you to step back from Yun'er. " I said.
" Huh? I don't think I hear that clearly just now. Do you mind saying it again? " he said in a cold tone.
" I am saying that you are too weak to protect ZiYun. So back off and let me protect her instead. " I said.
" Hmph! Who do you think you are? Just because you are the first-in-line of the Divine Family, you can say anything you want freely? I am lenient with the case of Shen Fei just now, but this time, I really can't tolerate it. " He said.
" GUARDS! " Ye Han screamed.
After that, only silence envelops the room. Ye Zong instructed the guards to back off.
' Why does foster father stop the guards? ' Ye Han thought.
" Hmm. Stop acting as if you are the City Lord already. My relationship with Yun'er is already agreed by father-in-law, so don't waste your breath. " I said nonchalantly.
" Kuh!! " Ye Han could only hold his anger.
" Hmm. How about this? Since you have your pride as a genius, then I as someone who is also a genius challenge you to a match right now. " I said.
" Now? Are you out of your mind? " Ye Han asked.
" If you don't want to, then tomorrow morning, you can come to my place. I will prepare the field and we fight. The loser will obey the winner. " I said.
" Hmph. Deal!! " Ye Han said.
" Well, father-in-law. Do you approve our duel? " I asked.
Ye Zong then looks at us and heaved a sigh as he nodded.
" Okay. Great. Tomorrow morning. Don't be late because I have jobs to do, unlike you, I am busy. " I said and leaves with Shen Xiu and HuYan LanRuo while enjoying the banquet.
I see ZiYun, but she keeps distancing herself from me.
' Looks like she know about my bet with Ye Han. ' I thought as I forced a smile and tell Shen Xiu and LanRuo that I want to talk to ZiYun, and they nodded in approval.
" Why are you evading me? " I whispered behind ZiYun.
"Why do you need to make such bet with brother Ye Han? " ZiYun pouted.
" Eh? Didn't you not get any attention from your father because of his existence? " I asked.
" Well, that's true, but it doesn't mean that I hate him. " ZiYun said.
" But he said that he wants to snatch you away from me, so I need to show him who the boss is here. " I said, and ZiYun starts giggling.
" What's so funny? " I asked.
" Nothing. " she said as she wipes tears of happiness from her eyes.
" Hmm. Okay then, see ya tomorrow Yun'er. " I said as I give her a smooch before leaving.
After the banquet is over, Ye Zong invites me for a small chat.
" Hey. Is that necessary for you to make such ruckus? " Ye Zong asked.
" Well, I am handling two, no. Three Bastards, so I think it is necessary for the ruckus. " I said nonchalantly.
" Three? Not two? " Ye Zong asked.
" Yes. Three. Shen Hong, the old fox. Shen Fei, the flower plucker. And the last one is your illegitimate bastard Ye Han. " I said.
" What? Even my foster son? Plus. Why are you calling him my illegitimate bastard?" Ye Zong's face turns sour as he heard me addressing Ye Han like that.
" I don't hate his guts, but I hate his character. " I said.
" Is it because of ZiYun? " Ye Zong asked.
" That is only a half of the reason I hate him. As for the half, he is a bastard that will do anything, be it fair or dirty, to claim the things he want in life. " I said.
" What do you mean by that? " Ye Zong asked.
" You'll find out in the future. I can only say that someday, your illegitimate bastard will stab you when you are the softest. Literally. " I said as I then bid farewell to him, my father, HuYan Xiong, and HuYan LanRuo.
The next morning on my courtyard, crowds are gathering around the the training area. I am standing there wearing a casual clothings and doing some warm up. Looks like the news spread real fast! My fiancees are here, Nie Li and co are here, and even Sacred Family's trash generations I beat are standing faraway watching with hateful gaze.
After a few moments, Ye Han comes wearing his special combat suit that is sturdy yet flexible at the same time.
" So, you have come Ye Han. I thought that today I can finish my work early, because I believe that you won't come. " I said in a ridiculing tone.
" Hmph. Don't think that I will hold back my punches. " Ye Han snorted.
" Ah! That's fine by me. " I said.
" Then here I go! " Ye Han shouted as he merge with his Golden Armoured Earth Dragon.
" Hoo. A Golden Armoured Earth Dragon eh? Not a bad Demon Spirit. But. " I said as I merge with YinLong. Black mist envelops my body and the mist shows some of the dragon characteristic, such as horn, claws, and wings.
" Hmm? What is that Demon Spirit? " Everyone is discussing and stare in amazement.
After the crowd started to talk in slow voice, Ye Han disappear and reappeared above me while whipping his tail.
" Heh. It's over! " Ye Han said victoriously.
" Are you sure about that? " I asked as I caught his tail using left hang and firmly grab it.
" I.. Impossible. You should only be Silver Rank by now! " Ye Han exclaimed in surprise.
" Heh. That's why you need to learn about your opponent before facing them. I bet that yesterday you thought that you can win against me easily since I am a Silver Rank right? But you are mistaken. " I said and grinned, as I then keep swinging his tail and slam him to the ground.
" Guh!! Unhand me!! " Ye Han shouted as his eyes turn red from anger.
" Hmph. Being angry won't help you. " I snorted as I throw him, and then I disappear and reappear in front of him.
" Take this as a lesson for yourself. Never underestimate your enemy and stop overestimating yourself. " I said as I punched his abdomen, and his transformation is cancelled as he reverts back to his human form after landing hardly on the ground.
" H.. How come I lose? I am the number one genius in the Glory City! " Ye Han said.
" You once were a genius, but you are blinded by that word, and that is what leads to your defeat today. " I said. " And for the deal, Stay away from ZiYun! Don't pester her or .. " I stare at him with killing intent.
" Cheh! One day, I will challenge you again and make you bow before me. " Ye Han said in a hostile tone before leaving.
' Heh. I just used peak Gold Rank strength, and you lost miserably. How if I were to use my Demigod Rank strength? ' I pondered as I watch him leave.
The crowds are speechless as they watch Ye Han leaving while beaten badly. I then tell them that the tournament is over, and then I politely tell them to leave, as I am going to continue my project.
5 days later, I have finished building the hundred thousand demonic beast array. I then report to Ye Zong that the project is finished. He stares at me and then sighed as he nodded and then I tell him that I will be leaving again.
