The Distinguished Cute Master

Chapter 42 – Three Years Later  

Ye Chenyuan watched her with a helpless smile on his face. In the next instant, the black object was tossed into his hands and Yuan Chu’s voice rang out in his mind.

“Top-grade spirit jade. We’ve got your fate-bound spiritual device for after your foundation build!”

Without even waiting for Ye Chenyuan’s grateful reply, Venerable Li was already mentally flipping tables!

Just who exactly was the carry-on grandpa? Him or her?! Could that little brat Yuan Chu not steal his lines and identity every time?! He felt like he no longer exists anymore!

… No, it still felt like he existed. He was like a super third wheel instead!

Amidst​ all this noise, against the wind and water, Ye Chenyuan was attempting the Foundation Building stage.

In just three years, Ye Chenyuan had managed to open a pore. Because of this, it would now be about ten times more difficult to build his foundation. Knowing this, Venerable Li was worried to see Yuan Chu sitting on the side, eating fruit.

“I’ve lived for tens of thousands of years. Even in ancient times, I have never seen anyone with Divine Emperor Vessels who opened a pore this early. The more pores opened, the harder it gets to advance… he won’t fail on Foundation Building, will he?”

While Yuan Chu, on the other hand, was a lot more carefree. “Relax! With the two of us, how could he fail on building his foundation? Even if you do not believe him, you have to believe me!”

Now, Venerable Li was even more worried.

And by the waterfall, Ye Chenyuan sat cross-legged on a rock as he withstood his body tempering ordeal.

Besides, the brutal power of Divine Emperor Vessels had 360 pores to be opened, and each pore could become one dantian. In other words, if he opened all 360 pores, he would have 360 more dantians than anyone else on the same stage. This wasn’t a simple one plus one equals two increase, but was an actual change in quality!

In the same way, the more pores he opened, the harder it was for him to ascend levels. No wonder Venerable Li said that before. During ancient times, although those with Divine Emperor Vessels had frightening power, many had still died by heaven’s calamity. So many have perished that people who were bearing the tyrannical vessels gradually disappeared, and they faded into obscurity.

But he was not alright with that. He must succeed, because he had someone to protect!

With this in mind, the spiritual energy around his body erupted! The spiritual energy he suppressed had entered his body. He condensed the energy in his dantian, liquifying it. As long as he succeeded in turning it all to liquid, he would then succeed in reaching the Foundation Building.

Yuan Chu sat to the side, bored. The time it took to finish Foundation Building​ was very long, so she had to guard Ye Chenyuan. She couldn’t play around or meditate, so what could she do?

Yuan Chu looked at the lush trees around them and the crashing waterfall. She wondered if she should go for a swim.

Just as she thought of this, a person fell from the sky, smashing into the water! Splashes bloomed across the surface. Yuan Chu glanced at Ye Chenyuan who sat in the protective boundary and then hid herself.

“Where are you going, enchantress?!”

The voice rang out. Yuan Chu turned and saw a man wearing a black battle robe fly over while holding an ax in his hand. His manner was lofty, and his cultivation was around beginning-stage Core Formation. In the Heavenly Continent, he was considered quite good to have reached Core Formation at such an age.

Yuan Chu looked towards the water. A young beauty broke through the surface. Her big and alluring eyes were filled with wrath as she glared at the man hovering above her.

“Luo Xin, I have no animosity with you. Why must you insist on killing me?”

Yuan Chu frowned. These lines were kind of familiar…

Luo Xin sneered, snarling, “You still have the face to ask, enchantress? It wasn’t enough for you to hook my brother’s soul, but you also whispered sweet nothings to other men? My brother wanted the azure sea pearl because of you and went to Puluo Sea. If not for you, his corpse wouldn’t be buried in the sea. Therefore, you should go and accompany him!”

With this, the ax in his hand chopped down ruthlessly at the little beauty.

Yuan Chu doesn’t want to meddle; private grievances were the messiest. Plus, the difference in power between her and the man wasn’t very big. She would’ve let him do as he wished, but somehow, the girl used a technique and discovered Ye Chenyuan’s protective boundary. She immediately ran toward him!

Yuan Chu cursed, seeing the ax head turned and was about to land on the protective boundary. She prepared to make her move when a flash of lightning struck down, landing on the attack and canceling it out.

What? That happens? As Yuan Chu wondered if God wasn’t allowing anyone to kill the male lead, another bolt of lightning struck down. They came unceasingly one after another.

“Wow, there’s someone undergoing tribulation here?” Luo Xin frowned. He was thinking of fighting somewhere else when the lightning broke the protective boundary. Ye Chenyuan appeared before them, sitting cross-legged on the giant rock.

The youth wore white-lined blue garments. His temperament was elegant and unique, even among the cultivation world of countless beauties, Ye Chenyuan’s face was stunning.

Not to mention anyone else, but even the young beauty’s big, charming eyes widened at the sight of Ye Chenyuan. The Heavenly Continent had this level of beauty?

Not waiting for them to think further, the lightning tribulation from the sky grew more and more concentrated. The first nine strikes were just like an appetizer. The main course was now here!

“What?” Luo Xin frowned, perplexed. “Shouldn’t an ordinary lightning tribulation for foundation building only have nine strikes? This looks like it’s still far from done.”

The girl standing near Ye Chenyuan rolled her eyes at his muttering.

A normal person would have a nine strike lightning tribulation, but it was different for geniuses. Cultivators walked a path which defied the heavens. The more brilliant one’s talent gets, the worse the heavenly tribulation.

The strongest man in her demon race was struck​ thirty-two times when he built his foundation. How many would this youth receive, she wondered.

Luo Xin had no intention of hindering someone’s foundation building. What’s more, this person must have some cards up his sleeve to foundation build out in the open, so Luo Xin snarled at the girl, saying, “Enchantress! Don’t obstruct others. Let us go elsewhere to fight to the death!”

The young beauty rolled her eyes again. “Who wants to fight you? I’m staying here. Come on, I’ll accompany you if you’re not afraid to disturb someone who’s in foundation building.

“You!”

Unwilling, Luo Xin glared at her, but he could only keep her from running. Meanwhile, Yuan Chu came to a sudden realization!

She knew who this little beauty was! She was the male lead’s first pursuer, Ji Hongyan. Her identity was the saintess of the devil race, and her cultivation was at beginning-stage Core Formation. She had alluring looks and outstanding character. It was a match!

Yuan Chu had wanted to intervene, but now she resisted. In the book, Ji Hongyan had fallen in love with Ye Chenyuan at first sight. Perhaps it had already happened?

Anyway, she was here. Since those two didn’t want to make a move yet, she would wait and see.
