Chapter 17

It's not easy to obtain a three-hundred-year-old ginseng. Ye Chu still had to help the white leopard suppress the evil aura temporarily, or it wouldn't survive the night!

Letting Bai Xuan hold Yaoyao and stand further away, Ye Chu once again reached out to the white leopard's body, his technique proficient. Under the movement of Ye Chu's fingers, the black spots on the white leopard's body began to fade slowly, and evil aura started to emanate from its body, shooting towards Ye Chu.

The large amount of evil aura surging towards Ye Chu made Bai Xuan's heart race with fear. But what surprised Bai Xuan was that as Ye Chu's arms moved, drawing circles, the evil aura was actually trapped around him. The grayish evil aura continuously seeped into Ye Chu's body, causing his forehead to gradually darken.

Unlike Bai Xuan's panic, Pang Shao's eyes sparkled with a strange light. It was the first time he had seen Ye Chu so clearly resist the evil aura. Ye Chu could let the evil aura enter his body without fear, but what method did he use? Or was Ye Chu's strength already so powerful that he was unafraid of such evil aura?

But Pang Shao quickly ruled out the latter guess. No matter how strong Ye Chu was, it was impossible for him to cultivate to the level of resisting the evil aura from the general's tomb in just a year!

"Could Ye Chu be one of those freaks?" Pang Shao's heart skipped a beat, thinking of a small group of people who defied the heavens. They indeed had special methods to deal with evil aura, but there was no record of anyone who could absorb it directly without refining it!

Moreover, Pang Shao didn't think Ye Chu could become such a person! Everyone knew how difficult it was to enter that small circle. Although Ye Chu was strong, he wasn't strong enough to enter that circle!

After a considerable amount of time, Ye Chu finally stopped the movement of his fingers. Sweat was now streaming down his forehead, and his face had turned pale. However, once the evil aura stopped entering his body, the darkness on his forehead disappeared. This made Pang Shao marvel, thinking that this guy was truly different, able to absorb evil aura into his body without harm.

"Done! Your father will be fine for a few days!" Ye Chu wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled at Bai Xuan, and reached out to pick up Yaoyao, who had run to his side. He gently scratched her small nose, making her giggle.

The little girl had rosy lips and white teeth, full of vitality and charm. Most importantly, she could recognize his handsomeness and charm, so Ye Chu really liked her!

Seeing that the black spots on her father's body had largely disappeared, his breathing was steady, and his face had regained some color, Bai Xuan sighed in relief. She now truly believed that Ye Chu had the means to save her father.

Despite the facts before her, Bai Xuan still found it hard to believe. The evil aura that even the imperial alchemists couldn't resolve, Ye Chu could. Was this really the same Ye Chu from Yaocity, known as a scoundrel? Bai Xuan felt she couldn't see through Ye Chu anymore!

But one thing was clear: Ye Chu was definitely not the waste that everyone called him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Chu smiled, patting Yaoyao's hand, which was tugging at his hair. But then he suddenly realized, "Oh! I remember! You want to fulfill the promise, right?"

Thinking of this, Ye Chu couldn't help but scrutinize Bai Xuan. Her body, hidden under her clothes, was plump and shapely, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint allure. Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and even with the clothes, her alluring figure was extremely tempting, the kind that could drive men wild.

Ye Chu's words made Bai Xuan's joy at her father's improvement instantly vanish. She stood there, clenching her teeth, without a word.

"I know I'm very charming, and many women are willing to throw themselves at me. But I'm not in a hurry, so why are you so eager to fulfill the promise?" Ye Chu smiled.

Pang Shao couldn't stand it anymore, thinking Ye Chu was too despicable, taking advantage of the situation! Even Pang Shao, who usually didn't care about women, couldn't help but feel sorry for Bai Xuan, thinking that encountering such a shameless scoundrel was just her bad luck!

Bai Xuan stood there, pale and lifeless, feeling as if she was being watched by a vicious wolf, extremely uncomfortable, and her body involuntarily shrank, trying to avoid Ye Chu's gaze.

Seeing Bai Xuan's reaction, Ye Chu smiled, thinking that his reputation as a scoundrel was indeed terrifying, scaring people with just a few words.

"Alright! I prefer mutual consent in such matters! The conditions can be changed. I have no place to stay in Yaocity, and your house is quite large. If you don't charge me rent and provide food and drink, I might consider not doing that!" Ye Chu revealed his true intention. Although Bai Xuan was tempting, Ye Chu wasn't a completely upright person, but he had never forced a woman to sleep with him.

In his previous life, he frequented various nightclubs, always emphasizing mutual consent. He never used drugs or other despicable means to harm women! Ye Chu despised such behavior, thinking how incompetent a man must be to resort to such methods to seduce women!

Ye Chu was just trying to scare Bai Xuan to find a place to stay. He couldn't keep living at the Flower Boat Inn, and with no money, he would have trouble even eating. Now that he had a chance to solve his living and eating problems, he wouldn't let it go. Most importantly, the owner was so beautiful, a rare find!

"Ah!" Bai Xuan was taken aback. Could the notorious Ye Chu, who bullied men and dominated women, really let her go? She knew how much allure she had over men!

"If you don't agree, then we'll stick to the original terms!" Ye Chu smiled.

"I agree!" Bai Xuan quickly said, without any hesitation.

Bai Xuan's quick agreement was within Ye Chu's expectations. Given the two choices, Bai Xuan would definitely choose the latter. This was why Ye Chu had scared her, as she might still be unwilling if he had proposed it from the start!

Putting Yaoyao down, Ye Chu patted her little head and sent her to Bai Xuan's side, then walked out of the house with Pang Shao, dragging his lazy steps.

"Really willing to let such a beauty go?" As soon as they left the house, Pang Shao couldn't help but look at Ye Chu, sighing deeply. Such a beautiful woman, and Ye Chu was really willing to let her go.

"I've always said I pursue a higher realm. Who's like you, so incompetent that you can only use threats and inducements to seduce women?" Ye Chu looked at Pang Shao with disdain.

Pang Shao laughed, not arguing with Ye Chu: "Did you find anything when you searched him?"

"There's nothing on him. He might not have obtained anything from the general's tomb, or he might have hidden it before he fainted." Ye Chu shook his head.

"Could he have given it to Bai Xuan?" Pang Shao asked.

"How would I know?" Ye Chu rolled his eyes.

"Alright! I won't bother with it. You wake him up and ask him yourself!" Pang Shao didn't want to get involved, thinking it was best for Ye Chu to handle it. "But what method did you use to resist the evil aura? You're not afraid of it entering your body!"

"Condensing the evil aura into a pill!" Ye Chu smiled.

"What nonsense!" Pang Shao frowned, not understanding what "condensing the evil aura into a pill" meant. Not understanding, he didn't ask further, shrugging, "Now that you've found a place to stay, I won't bother with you anymore. Damn, you've been using my money these past few days, remember to pay me back!"

Pang Shao grumbled a few more words, then turned and left, heading off to some brothel to find women!

After Pang Shao left, Ye Chu smiled, flipped his palm, and a gray, round pill appeared in his hand. If Pang Shao had seen this pill, he would have been shocked, as the aura emanating from it was extremely similar to the evil aura from the general's tomb, except it lacked the violent and life-eroding qualities.
