Chapter 62

The next day, when Bai Xuan got up and saw Ye Chu, she had dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well. This made Ye Chu smile, not expecting that Bai Xuan would be so troubled by his departure from Yaocheng.

"Brother Ye Chu! What are we going to play today?" Yaoyao jumped to Ye Chu's side, giving him a peck on the cheek with her chubby lips. Yaoyao especially liked to cling to Ye Chu, which made Bai Xuan, standing nearby, think, "After Ye Chu leaves, Yaoyao will probably be sad for a while, too!"

"Shall I make a little house for you with mud today?" Ye Chu picked up Yaoyao and pinched her chubby cheeks, which were soft and tender.

"No way! I'm not a three-year-old baby anymore, playing with mud!" Yaoyao pouted, her clear eyes showing dissatisfaction. "I'm already four! I won't play with mud anymore."

This statement made Ye Chu speechless, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He glanced at Bai Xuan, who indeed had a slightly flushed face.

"Why are you looking at me?" Bai Xuan saw that Ye Chu's gaze had not moved from her, and she gave him a glare, her tone somewhat shy.

"I was just thinking if Sister Bai Xuan might be tired!" Ye Chu smiled, looking at Bai Xuan's almost bursting bosom, which made him involuntarily recall that fleeting glimpse from the other night.

Bai Xuan clearly remembered that night as well, and her face turned bright red. She quickly avoided Ye Chu's gaze, lightly scolding him, thinking that Ye Chu was truly wicked.

Seeing Bai Bao coming over, Bai Xuan gave Ye Chu a fierce glare and then dragged Yaoyao away to play in the yard.

"I heard about what happened yesterday, and I didn't expect you to have reached such a realm!" Bai Bao had just returned from outside and heard the entire Yaocheng buzzing about yesterday's battle. When he learned that the person was Ye Chu, he was quite surprised.

"It was just a minor skirmish!" Ye Chu smiled. "From the look of Uncle Bai's energy, your body should be fully recovered."

Bai Bao nodded. "I owe you a lot for that. Thanks to this crisis of negative energy, I have a faint sense of the third level. I never thought I would reach it in my lifetime, but it seems I've turned a misfortune into a blessing."

Ye Chu was not surprised by Bai Bao's situation. "Congratulations, Uncle Bai. Being able to enter the Xiantian realm already makes you one of the top figures in Yaoguo."

"Yaoguo is just a small kingdom. Even if I become the number one here, there's nothing to be proud of!" Bai Bao smiled. "Even if I enter the Xiantian realm, I don't dare to think I'm that strong."

Ye Chu knew that Bai Bao had a broad perspective, far beyond what someone from a small kingdom like Yaoguo could compare to, so he naturally wouldn't mock Bai Bao for his grand words.

"By the way! I heard you took a Xiantian strike yesterday?" Bai Bao asked curiously. "Is that true?"

"Uncle Bai heard about it too?" Ye Chu smiled. "It's true! But, Uncle Bai, don't try it lightly. The gap between the Xiantian and Huayi realms is too great, and it's easy to be severely injured and leave hidden ailments."

"I know that!" Bai Bao said. "That's why I'm curious how you managed to block his strike without any harm."

This couldn't help but surprise Bai Bao. In his view, a Xiantian was like a lion, while a Huayi was like a wolf. Although a wolf is fierce, it is no match for a lion, and blocking a lion's strike is difficult.

Yet, Ye Chu not only blocked it but stood there unscathed.

"I can't see through you!" Bai Bao shook his head. "But I know your master is extraordinary, so I won't ask."

"Uncle Bai, aren't you the same? With your knowledge and skills, you're stuck in a small place like Yaocheng. Are you going to tell me your secret?" Ye Chu laughed.

"Ha! You can guess slowly!" Bai Bao laughed, but then thought of something. "Would you do me a favor?"

"Hmm?" Ye Chu asked curiously.

"Suddenly, many forces have emerged in the empire, searching for those who entered the General's tomb this time! Although I was secretive last time, there's no such thing as a completely airtight plan. Since you could find me, others can too." Bai Bao sighed. "I'm most worried about Bai Xuan and Yaoyao. Yaoyao is too young, and you know my daughter's beauty. Many people have their eyes on her, so I hope you can help look after them."

Ye Chu laughed. "Aren't you afraid I'll have my eyes on her?"

"Ha! Although you have a bad reputation and aren't a good person, at least you don't use despicable means. If you can make Bai Xuan agree, that's your business."

Seeing Bai Bao say this, Ye Chu couldn't help but laugh. He thought Bai Bao was underestimating him, assuming his daughter wouldn't be interested in him.

"Then you should take care of them yourself! I'm not interested, and I'll be leaving Yaocheng soon anyway." Ye Chu smiled.

"You're leaving?" Bai Bao frowned, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "Fine! I know you're interested in entering the General's tomb. I'll tell you everything!"

Bai Bao then took out a yellowed book from his chest. "This was passed down by our ancestors. If you understand everything in it, you can try to enter the General's tomb."

Ye Chu took it with some doubt, flipped through it, and saw various curves drawn on the pages. Just as he was about to ask something, Bai Bao interrupted, "After you read it, ask me if you have any questions."

Ye Chu nodded and put the book away.

"What I just said is just being prepared. I'm afraid something might happen to me in the future. I hope you can help Bai Xuan if needed." Bai Bao suddenly sighed and patted Ye Chu's shoulder.

Seeing Bai Bao so serious, Ye Chu was taken aback and then nodded. "I would do that even if you didn't ask, Uncle Bai!"

"I know you have a complicated background, which is evident from your ability to help me clear the negative energy in the General's tomb. With your word, I feel more at ease." Bai Bao said, "There are indeed good things in the General's tomb, but don't rush. Even with my ancestral methods, a slight mistake can be fatal."

Ye Chu had experienced the dangers and understood this.

"Grandpa! Brother Ye Chu! What are you talking about? Come and play with me!" While Ye Chu and Bai Bao were talking, Yaoyao jumped to Ye Chu's side, hugging his leg and shaking it.

"Okay! Let's play 'Eagle Catching Chickens' today, how about that?" Ye Chu smiled at Yaoyao. "Do you want your aunt to be the chicken?"

As he spoke, Ye Chu's gaze couldn't help but turn to Bai Xuan's full and plump bosom, thinking that if he accidentally touched it during the game, it couldn't be blamed on him; it would be a mistake!

Bai Xuan clearly noticed Ye Chu's gaze. Being smart, she understood his intentions and quickly pulled Yaoyao away. "Yaoyao, didn't you want to play horse? Go find Brother Ye Chu!"
