Chapter 63

Ye Chu still teased Yaoyao every day in Yaocheng, occasionally taking her for a few walks by the Cold Lake. Most of the time, he was engrossed in studying the Red Slaughter Manuscript, but he still couldn't understand the phrase "Soul and Spirit as One, Yin and Yang can be formed" written in it!

Fatso from Qingmi Mountain had said that to reach the Innate Realm, it would take him many years of cultivation. However, with the help of the Red Slaughter Manuscript, he might find the opportunity to break through. But clearly, Ye Chu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence in the manuscript.

"Whatever! I won't bother with it anymore!" Ye Chu sighed lightly, his gaze falling on the invitation beside him, which Su Rong had sent through Liang Shan. Ye Chu originally had no interest in attending, but thinking that he would be leaving soon, he decided it would be good to see them.

When Ye Chu appeared at the venue, Liang Shan couldn't help but exclaim, "You actually came?"

It was no wonder Liang Shan was surprised. Over the past few days, he had sent Ye Chu countless invitations to banquets, but without exception, Ye Chu had thrown them all into the ditch outside Bai Xuan's house. Liang Shan had thought this invitation would receive the same treatment, but he never expected Ye Chu to actually come.

"Indeed, only Su Rong can get you to come!" Liang Shan seemed to realize something and said with a tongue-click, "You still won't admit that you have a crush on Su Rong. Now, even if you try to deny it, it's useless!"

"..." Ye Chu ignored Liang Shan and scanned the surroundings. There were many handsome men and beautiful women, but he didn't see Su Rong. "Wasn't today Su Rong's birthday? Where is she?"

"Still getting dressed and made up, I guess! You know, women are always like that." Liang Shan winked at Ye Chu and smiled, "Many women are interested in you now. Why don't you try to charm some other women? Su Rong is too hard to get!"

Ye Chu naturally didn't bother to explain to Liang Shan. He looked at a group of women and indeed saw some of them secretly glancing at him. When they noticed his gaze, they immediately blushed and turned away.

Ye Chu was taken aback, not expecting that the battle against the Sand Kingdom a few days ago had actually made some women take an interest in him. He wondered if these women would be willing to sleep with him.

Ye Chu didn't know that these women had already been discussing him behind his back. Unlike the past, when they had cursed him, this time they were more curious about what Ye Chu had done over the past three years.

Recalling Ye Chu's actions since he returned to Yaocheng, people suddenly realized that he hadn't done anything heinous after three years. Instead, he had shown a sense of righteousness, even forcefully shutting down the Dingwu Hall for Liang Shan's sake.

People's dislike of Ye Chu had been passed down from three years ago, when he had done many bad things, tarnishing his reputation. But this time, not only had he not done anything evil, but he was also rarely seen.

When he was occasionally seen, he had a lazy and charming demeanor with a faint smile. Compared to three years ago, Ye Chu was now just a rarely seen, somewhat handsome young man with clear eyes and a hint of melancholy.

Apart from Liang Shan and a few others who could talk to Ye Chu, he barely paid attention to anyone else, which made him seem a bit cool. Of course, some men didn't believe that a rogue could change, so they tried to gather evidence of Ye Chu's bad deeds.

However, since his return to Yaocheng, they couldn't find a single bad deed. Instead, they found that Ye Chu had helped Zhang Su'er and the Yaoguo Kingdom.

This made a group of young girls even more captivated: "A lonely and melancholic figure, a lazy and clear gaze, always with a charming smile. Cool, strong, and mysterious, it's hard to imagine that this is the same scoundrel from three years ago. Oh, if he were as bad as three years ago, it would be better. If he forced himself on me, I wouldn't struggle!"

This group of women's infatuation made Su Rong find it amusing. But she had to admit that, regardless of Ye Chu's past reputation, his current carefree and charming demeanor was indeed very attractive to women.

Ye Chu's return to Yaocheng for Su Rong's sake was a widely discussed topic. Some women couldn't help but sigh, "How wonderful! Ye Chu knew he would face countless curses by returning to Yaocheng, but he still came back. It shows how deeply he loves Su Rong!"

"If a man were willing to face countless curses for me, I would definitely give myself to him!"

"Compared to Ye Chu, I suddenly realize that Chen Bowen and Su Rong are not a good match. The most suitable person for Su Rong in Yaocheng seems to be Ye Chu."

"How romantic! If I had a man like Ye Chu, I wouldn't care if he were a scoundrel!"

"..."

When Su Rong came out, she was wearing a fresh, light green outfit, looking very beautiful. Her clothes perfectly accentuated her developing figure, and her chest, though still somewhat immature, proudly exuded the allure of youth. Her slender waist, barely able to be encircled, was tied with a belt, making her even more alluring.

Looking at this alluring figure, Ye Chu couldn't help but feel a distant stirring in his heart, a palpitation belonging to the previous soul.

"You came!" Su Rong walked up to Ye Chu, and her actions immediately caused a commotion among the women.

"Together! Together!" Pang Shao suddenly appeared and shouted, and his words immediately incited all the women present to join in, the cheers growing louder and louder.

Unlike the women, the men present looked jealous, unable to help but curse these women in their hearts: "A bunch of infatuated women, have they forgotten how he wreaked havoc in Yaocheng three years ago?"

However, men could never understand women's thoughts. As long as they liked him now, even if Ye Chu had a terrible reputation in the past, it was almost forgotten. That's just the nature of women!

Embarrassed by the commotion, Su Rong's face turned red, and she glared at Zhang Su'er, who was shouting the loudest: "Shut up!"

Zhang Su'er laughed and the group of young ladies finally stopped.

Pang Shao looked at Ye Chu and smiled, hoping to cause some trouble for him. Seeing that this plan didn't work, he dragged Liang Shan away to think of something else to annoy Ye Chu.

"Thank you for your help with the Sand Kingdom!" Su Rong's face was still flushed, like blooming peach blossoms, very charming.

"Words of thanks are nice, but how about something more substantial?" Ye Chu smiled, his gaze roving over Su Rong, lingering on her shapely buttocks and ample chest.

Su Rong's face turned red, and she glared at Ye Chu, "Can you put away your carefree and charming demeanor? I know you've changed over the past three years and are not the same Ye Chu. Why do you have to act like a bad guy?"

"You're wrong. I'm still the same Ye Chu. For example, if you want to sleep with me tonight, I definitely won't refuse," Ye Chu laughed loudly.

Su Rong spat at Ye Chu, "I don't have time to argue with you! Can't you return the Red Slaughter Manuscript? The king values it very much!"

"Ha!" Ye Chu couldn't help but spit, thinking that if the king really valued it, he wouldn't have used it to prop up a table corner.

"I burned it!" Ye Chu shrugged, "If you want it, I really can't find it!"

"Like I believe you!" Su Rong rolled her eyes. From their interactions, she knew that Ye Chu never frowned when lying.
