Chapter 26

Unable to get Ye Chu to help, Pang Shao could only give up reluctantly. But this guy was despicable enough to tell Bai Xuan that Ye Chu was faking his faint before strutting away!

Lying on the bed, Ye Chu now faced the aftermath of Pang Chao's despicable exposure.

Bai Xuan's beautiful eyes glared at Ye Chu, her tender red lips lightly biting, filled with intense anger: "Is what Pang Shao said true?"

At the time, Bai Xuan hadn't thought much about it, but now she recalled the scene of Ye Chu's head colliding with her chest, which seemed like it was planned. She couldn't help but blush, thinking how wicked this guy was!

Looking at Bai Xuan's face, which was as red as if it were bleeding, her fair and delicate cheeks flushed like a drunk, Ye Chu's heart was completely captivated, finding it incredibly alluring.

Bai Xuan's angry voice rang out, and Ye Chu finally reacted. He cursed Pang Shao in his heart and then looked at Bai Xuan with an innocent expression, firmly denying: "Sister Bai Xuan, you actually believe what Pang Shao said! I won't say much about that fat guy's character! This time, he framed me because I refused to help him take revenge for being beaten up, which he resented deeply!"

"Really?" Bai Xuan looked at Ye Chu's innocent expression, as if he had suffered a great injustice, making her doubt whether she had wronged Ye Chu!

"Of course it's true! You know how terrifying the evil aura is. Sister Bai Xuan wouldn't be naive enough to think that all the evil aura entering my body wouldn't harm me at all." Ye Chu looked pitiful, his expression dimming as if his heart had been deeply wounded. He sighed and continued, "I thought I would get praise from Sister Bai Xuan when I woke up, and even hoped for a kiss as a reward! But I didn't expect to be questioned! It seems I'm not suited for doing good deeds; doing evil is my destiny! Sister Bai Xuan, you've destroyed my chance to be a good person!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Bai Xuan shot Ye Chu a glance, her eyes filled with a thousand emotions. A faint blush appeared on her perfect oval face, making her wonder if she had indeed wronged Ye Chu. At least from Ye Chu's behavior, he seemed much better than Pang Shao, who changed women every day. Moreover, Ye Chu had indeed put a lot of effort into saving her father. Questioning him like this was really unkind and might hurt his feelings!

"I apologize to you!" Bai Xuan said sincerely, "I shouldn't have doubted you!"

Ye Chu couldn't help but secretly laugh, thinking about the softness in his arms, his heart couldn't help but flutter, wishing he could faint again. Of course, he wouldn't show his satisfaction. He still had a pained expression and said innocently, "Sister Bai Xuan has already hurt my heart. Shouldn't you give me a consolation prize? I don't have high requirements; a kiss would do!"

"I'm going to see Yaoyao!" Bai Xuan, seeing Ye Chu's intense gaze, found an excuse and rushed out of the room in a panic.

How old is this guy, and yet he's so bold, looking at women as if he wants to devour them, lacking the innocence of a young man and instead acting like an experienced womanizer!

Watching Bai Xuan's delicate figure sway as she left the room, Ye Chu flipped over, his movements swift, showing no signs of weakness from his faint!

...

Bai Xuan's father had a very good constitution and woke up the day after Ye Chu helped him expel the evil aura. Bai Xuan was overjoyed and her gratitude towards Ye Chu grew.

Ye Chu didn't rush to ask Bai Bao about the General's Tomb. He instructed Bai Xuan to find an alchemist to help Bai Bao recover.

Although Ye Chu had some skills in dealing with evil aura, he was only a novice in true healing, far inferior to a real alchemist. Now, all Bai Bao needed was to slowly recover, and Ye Chu was no better than an alchemist in this regard!

Pang Shao, having exposed Ye Chu's feigned faint, didn't dare to show his face in front of Ye Chu! Ye Chu enjoyed a rare period of peace, happily playing with Yaoyao in the mud!

The sight of a seventeen-year-old boy playing in the mud by the roadside often made Bai Xuan want to laugh. Sometimes, passersby couldn't help but glance at Ye Chu, sighing, thinking what a pity it was that such a handsome young man was actually a fool!

Ye Chu didn't care about others' gazes. Whatever Yaoyao wanted to play, he would play. Being with this plump, fair, and porcelain-like little girl made Ye Chu feel carefree and relaxed. Over the past three years, he had traveled across the continent, covering no less than ten thousand miles, experiencing far more than he ever had before. Every day, he felt a heavy pressure, enduring three years of training. Such relaxation was truly rare!

However, he didn't know how long such days would last!

At this moment, he was neither strong nor weak! Although he was far from matching the mentally deranged guys on Qingmi Mountain, he wasn't someone to be trifled with in Yaocity!

He returned to Yaocity because the fat lunatic from Qingmi Mountain said that there was a unique book in Yaocity that might be useful for his special constitution. Ye Chu came back here for that reason! However, in this vast Yaocity, who knew where that book was!

"Fat lunatic! You talk in half-sentences and don't even tell me where it is!" Ye Chu cursed in his heart, but he had no way to deal with the fat man! His dissatisfaction with the fat man stemmed from his helplessness!

Pang Shao didn't know this was the reason Ye Chu disliked the fat man. If he did, he would be on the verge of tears, thinking, "If you don't like him, don't transfer your anger to other fat people! If you have the ability, go after him! I've heard of nine generations being punished, but not of people being punished based on their body type!"

"Whatever! If I can't find it, I won't look for it! Although I don't understand what kind of change happened when my soul entered this body, at least it seems to have only benefits and no harm!" Ye Chu shook his head, thinking that if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't look for it. He would spend more time cultivating, and when he reached a high enough level, he might understand why!

"I've been at this level for three months, and I don't know when I'll break through!" Thinking about his cultivation level, Ye Chu felt somewhat helpless, as there were no signs of a breakthrough yet.

...

Under the care of the alchemist, Bai Bao's condition gradually improved. Bai Bao had naturally heard of Ye Chu's reputation and was surprised that Ye Chu could help him expel the evil aura. As a party involved, he knew how terrifying the evil aura was. When the evil aura entered his body, he felt certain he would die. Not to mention Ye Chu, who had a bad reputation, even the alchemists in the palace couldn't save him.

Bai Bao didn't dislike Ye Chu because of his reputation. People with rich experiences like him wouldn't let others' words influence their judgment. Moreover, he was very grateful to Ye Chu for saving him and treated him very kindly!

Sometimes, he would chat with Ye Chu, and this made Bai Bao even more surprised. How could Ye Chu be as worthless as the outside world said? Some of Ye Chu's views made him clap in admiration! Some of his insights were unprecedented, and his words always showed independent thinking, far beyond that of a seventeen-year-old!

Of course, as Ye Chu interacted with Bai Bao, he also found Bai Bao to be no ordinary person. Occasionally, a sentence would make him ponder for a long time without understanding, and some of his insights into cultivation were beyond Ye Chu's comprehension!

Ye Chu originally thought Bai Bao was just a somewhat powerful cultivator, but now he realized it wasn't that simple. It made sense; someone who could enter the General's Tomb wouldn't be an ordinary person!
