Chapter 37

After finishing the meal, Ye Tianchen and Qi Ruxue exchanged a disdainful glance, then Ye Tianchen went upstairs, preparing to go back to sleep. He had to deal with Li Tie tonight, and he imagined that Li Tie’s subordinate, Mountain Bear, must have already conveyed his intention to pay a visit tonight. He needed to rest well to prepare for the battle at midnight.

"I still have half a lobster left. Do you want to eat it?" Qi Ruxue deliberately held up the half lobster, teasing Ye Tianchen with a smile.

Ye Tianchen swallowed hard. If it were anything else, it wouldn’t have tempted him, but when it came to delicious food, he had to admit that Qi Ruxue, the young lady, though a bit mischievous and wild, was indeed a good cook. Especially the lobster and abalone, they looked incredibly delicious. Even his mother, Luo Yan, who usually didn’t like abalone, couldn’t resist eating two.

"No, your stuff isn’t even as good as instant noodles." Ye Tianchen shot a glance at Qi Ruxue and said.

"Fine, I’ll save it for breakfast tomorrow morning." Qi Ruxue smiled sweetly, looking quite adorable.

Seeing Qi Ruxue’s smug look, Ye Tianchen felt a bit depressed. He couldn’t understand how this girl had so quickly found his weakness.

Turning to leave, Ye Tianchen ignored Qi Ruxue, worried that he might not be able to resist and rush over to snatch the half lobster from her.

Ye Tianchen entered his bedroom, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed. Looking at the faint moonlight outside the window, his eyes lost their usual carefree look and became sharp. Tonight was bound to be a night of slaughter. To deal with the Qin family, he had to cut off their left and right arms. Li Tie, the head of the underground forces in Kyoto, was a lackey of the Qin family. This guy had even dared to send people to assassinate his father; he had to die.

He had to protect everything in this life. No one could touch the people and things around him, or they would face Ye Tianchen’s iron fist.

Just as Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to sense the strange energy within him, he suddenly felt a peculiar energy fluctuation by the window. Turning his head, he saw a figure standing on the window sill, dressed in black, with a cold expression, staring at him.

Ye Tianchen frowned. He sensed that this person was extraordinary. According to his ability to sense energy, everyone’s energy fluctuations were different. Ordinary people emitted very weak energy, while strong individuals, even if they tried to hide it, would still emit powerful energy.

Since his rebirth, this was the first time Ye Tianchen had such a feeling. The person standing on his bedroom window sill was very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared at the same time Ye Tianchen noticed him.

"The legendary biggest joke in Kyoto, Ye Tianchen, has indeed transformed. It’s true." The man standing on the window sill said coldly.

Although he felt that this suddenly appearing man was strong, Ye Tianchen remained calm, sitting cross-legged on the bed and smiling. "What’s the matter? If nothing, I’m going to sleep!"

The man frowned. He didn’t expect Ye Tianchen to be so calm. He couldn’t have just appeared to check on Ye Tianchen, right? And to appear on Ye Tianchen’s bedroom window sill without a sound showed his skill. Yet, Ye Tianchen asked him what he wanted? Was this guy pretending to be calm, or was he still a super idiot?

"I’m called Bloodless, and I’m here to kill you!" the man said coldly.

"Oh? You’re an interesting assassin, to introduce yourself like that." Ye Tianchen smiled.

"Hmph, it’s my principle as an assassin. I’ll let the dead die with clarity."

The man was Bloodless, the top assassin in Kyoto. When he first appeared, Ye Tianchen had already sensed his strength. This might be the strongest person he had encountered in the city so far.

Now, Ye Tianchen truly realized what Lang Lang had told him when he left the military: wherever there are people, there will be battles and strong individuals. In this life, there were also strong ancient martial arts sects and powerful psychics. As for whether there were mutants or beasts, Ye Tianchen didn’t know.

"Really want to fight?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"Before midnight, I must take your head. Otherwise, I can’t explain to my employer. To avoid disturbing your family, come out!" Bloodless said coldly.

Ye Tianchen suddenly found that this assassin, Bloodless, had his own principles and was quite unique. Unlike other assassins who would do anything to achieve their goals, Bloodless had a human side, not as ruthless as typical assassins.

Actually, when Bloodless first appeared, Ye Tianchen’s internal energy had already started to boil. To break through from a Duke-level psychic to a King-level, he needed more powerful battles. Only through battles could he stimulate the psychic nucleus in his brain and tap into the internal energy in his meridians.

"Alright, if you lose, I won’t kill you!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Bloodless frowned. He sensed Ye Tianchen’s extraordinary nature. In the past, when he was hired to kill someone, he would tell the target the same thing. Many people would either beg for mercy, fight desperately, or run away. But Ye Tianchen was different. Even after learning that Bloodless was there to kill him, he remained sitting cross-legged on the bed, unmoving, with a harmless smile that even Bloodless found a bit scary.

"I’ll wait for you in the small forest nearby!" Bloodless came back to his senses and disappeared from the window sill.

Ye Tianchen smiled, stood up, and walked out of his bedroom. Seeing his mother Luo Yan, his younger sister Ye Qianwen, and the young lady Qi Ruxue chatting happily, he said, "I’m going for a walk to digest."

"Walk? Digest? Brother, you only ate a bowl of instant noodles. Are you having indigestion?" Ye Qianwen asked curiously.

"If you want to go out for food, just say it. Why pretend?" Qi Ruxue said with a smug smile.

"You’re the one who goes out for food. You’re the dog. Instant noodles are so good, much better than the food some people cook. I’ve decided that whenever someone cooks, I’ll eat instant noodles." Ye Tianchen said stubbornly.

"Tianchen, that’s too bad. I was thinking of having Ruxue help me cook more often. Should I buy a few boxes of instant noodles for you in advance?" Luo Yan asked with a smile.

Ye Tianchen was very depressed, waved his hand, and walked out of the house. It was impossible to communicate with these three women. He didn’t know what Qi Ruxue had done to his mother and sister, but they were now completely on her side, ignoring his feelings as a son and brother. If he had known, he wouldn’t have pitied her and brought her home. Now, he had no place or say in this house.

Walking out of the house, Ye Tianchen took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. Checking his phone, it was almost ten o’clock. Besides the assassin Bloodless, there was also the thug Li Tie waiting for him to deal with. He needed to act quickly.

When Ye Tianchen entered the small forest in the villa area, Bloodless was sitting on a rock, his eyes coldly watching Ye Tianchen. Since he had agreed to the Luo family, he had also made a condition: if he killed Ye Tianchen, Luo Songcheng would find a way to release his adoptive father. For his reputation as the top assassin in Kyoto and for his adoptive father, no matter how strong Ye Tianchen was, Bloodless was determined to kill him with all his might.

"Do you have any last words? I can pass them on to your family." Bloodless said coldly.

"No, look at how beautiful the moon is. Why don’t I guess who sent you to kill me?" Ye Tianchen looked up at the bright moon.

"No need. I’ll let you die with clarity when you die..."

As soon as Bloodless finished speaking, he charged at Ye Tianchen like a bolt of lightning, leaping over a meter high and punching straight at Ye Tianchen’s chest.

Ye Tianchen’s eyes changed. He hadn’t been wrong; this assassin, Bloodless, was indeed very strong, with a powerful and fierce attack accompanied by strong internal energy. If he was right, Bloodless was likely a master of an ancient martial arts sect, trained in internal energy.

Bang!

Bloodless’s punch missed, and Ye Tianchen dodged. The punch hit a nearby tree, punching a hole through the trunk of a tree that would take one person to hug. Ye Tianchen was stunned.

"Your punch is pretty hard!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Attack! I see you’re not weak. Let me see how strong the biggest joke in Kyoto, Ye Tianchen, has become after his transformation!" Bloodless was surprised that his powerful punch had been easily dodged. He decided to use his full strength.

"You’d better be careful!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Arrogant!"

Bloodless roared, clenching his fists, and prepared to launch a powerful attack. In his view, even if Ye Tianchen had some skills, he couldn’t possibly defeat him, Bloodless.

Facing Bloodless’s next punch, Ye Tianchen frowned. He sensed a powerful internal energy fluctuation. In the post-apocalyptic world, he had also fought against masters of ancient martial arts sects, so he was familiar with this kind of internal energy. He also felt that Bloodless’s internal energy was very strong.

With both fists, Bloodless launched a powerful attack, like a great roc spreading its wings. When Bloodless punched, Ye Tianchen saw a great roc coming at him. He didn’t dare to be careless and rolled on the ground, kicking a rock toward Bloodless.

Bang!

A loud noise echoed as Bloodless’s fists, carrying powerful internal energy, hit the rock, shattering it completely.
