The Distinguished Cute Master

Chapter 47 – Grave Longings  

Ji Hongyan grew even more pleased. “It’s very easy to create internal demons if you don’t let out your longings. This is for your own good. Self-restraining men like yourself must have a demon somewhere deep in your heart, right?”

Ye Chenyuan’s gaze turned sharp!

Until now, he had been gentle and harmless. This sudden outburst of killing intent in his eyes made Ji Hongyan’s scalp go numb. In the next instant, a gush of blood spilled out. Her beautiful eyes opened wide, she covered her chest and took several steps back.

A newly advanced Foundation Builder had injured her!

“Leave!”

Ye Chenyuan held the black dagger in his hand. The corners of his eyes had reddened and a hint of red could be seen in his bottomless pupils. His appearance, which resembled an exiled immortal’s, turned sinister. In particular, the blood that had splashed on his face was like red plum flowers on white snow, adding a glaring impact to his beauty.

Ji Hongyan should have been angered! She, a beginning-stage Core Formation cultivator, was injured by a Foundation Building cultivator. Plus, she had already eaten several pills, but the wound still didn’t heal. However, the moment Ye Chenyuan’s gaze locked onto her, that darkness hidden under his light, that malevolent edge, it made her heart speed up as if her body wasn’t her own.

Ye Chenyuan pointed the dagger at her. His back was straight, the joints on his fingers pale white.

“Don’t make me say it again.”

Ji Hongyan stepped back. For the first time in her life, she, in the attraction and danger she felt from Ye Chenyuan, fled!

Her heart beat with an intensity she had never felt before. It branded Ye Chenyuan’s eyes deeply into her heart.

This man, she wanted him!

Ye Chenyuan’s fierceness curbed after Ji Hongyan left. He closed his eyes and returned to looking harmless and obedient. (This was also the appearance that Yuan Chu loved teasing the most.)

Meanwhile, Yuan Chu, who was listening to Venerable Li’s live broadcast, asked, “And then? And then? What happened between them?!”

Yuan Chu couldn’t help but get excited when she thought about how Ji Hongyan had used her fatal move, ‘three days soul urging incense’, against Ye Chenyuan. That stuff was the highest grade aphrodisiac without any adverse effects. The smallest desires in a person’s heart would be magnified endlessly. Perhaps only a saint would be unmoved.

Venerable Li’s expression was a bit strange. “Little Yuan chased her away…”

“Eh?” Yuan Chu’s expression turned strange as well.

Venerable Li continued, “He used the dagger which creates wounds that can not be healed in a short time frame.”

“!”

Yuan Chu no longer knew what to say. She could see her disciple rushing madly down the path of a single dog once again. She would not be able to stop him no matter how desperate she tried to drag him away!

She sighed. “I can’t do this anymore. My head hurts! Hurry and call that rebellious disciple over!” Yuan Chu clutched her head in excessiveness. On the other hand, Ye Chenyuan’s current situation was truly bad.

The demon world’s number one demon incense: three days soul urging incense. Its use was even scarier than what was described in books. Once alit, any tiny, tiny desire, no matter how deeply buried, would be drawn out and spread across your entire mind.

Ye Chenyuan’s eyes reddened more and more. The red made him look even more disturbing. Unfortunately, there was no one to enjoy the spectacle at the moment.

“Venerable Li…” He hoarsely called out to Venerable Li. Because Venerable Li inhabited his sea of consciousness, the two could communicate directly through their minds.

“What’s wrong?” Venerable Li saw that there was something off about him. Only, he didn’t know: what does Ye Chenyuan long for in his heart?

Ye Chenyuan’s lips along with his eyes were very red. He leaned his back against a big tree and raised his head, saying word by word, “Put me into the Precious Jade Gourd, now!”

Venerable Li froze. Yuan Chu saw that something was not right and asked him, “What’s wrong, old ghost?”

Venerable Li stared at her. He frowned and said, “Little Yuan… told me to put him in the Precious Jade Gourd.”

“Oh?” Yuan Chu’s eyes widened. “That Precious Jade Gourd is only about five cubic meters big. It’s basically a coffin. What does he want to do in there?”

She then thought of something else and laughed. “I know! He must be afraid of his desires erupting in the next three days. Maybe it might be embarrassing? Like, really! I’m his master! What’s there to be ashamed of. You tell him to come straight to the Sky Pearl. Whatever happens, I promise not to laugh at him!”

When Venerable Li relayed her words to him, his closed eyes suddenly opened wide. He stared at a small hill. He walked over and punched out a small cavity. After crawling into it, he used the Sky Rising Shield to block out the outside, thoroughly hiding himself.

His actions scared Venerable Li as well as Yuan Chu. She hopped out of the Sky Pearl and walked toward the Sky Rising Shield, frowning. Before she could get close, she heard Ye Chenyuan’s strained voice call out to her.

“Don’t come over here!”

Yuan Chu subconsciously stopped in her steps. Then, Ye Chenyuan’s voice turned deep and hoarse. It carried a hint of pleading.

“Master… don’t come over here…”

Yuan Chu was very worried. Three days soul urging incense tempts a person’s deepest desires, but it doesn’t cause pain. Why was Ye Chenyuan’s voice filled with so much suffering?

Thinking of this, she was even more anxious. “That… Little Yuan Yuan, come out first. I’ll have a look for you. How does that sound? I’m your master…”

She took a few steps forward. Her fingers were already placed on the shield. Once she pulled it aside, she would be able to see Ye Chenyuan.

“Don’t, Master!”

Ye Chenyuan interrupted her movements. Yuan Chu didn’t understand why he was acting like that, so she didn’t rashly move the shield aside.

She stood outside while Ye Chenyuan kneeled inside. On the other side of the shield, Ye Chenyuan could keenly feel the warmth of Yuan Chu’s hand. He placed his own hand there. There was an insuppressible longing in his eyes, desires distorted in their bareness. 

“Master…” His mind moved and the Sky Rising Shield turned transparent. He could see outside from the inside, but Yuan Chu could not see in.

Anxiousness filled Yuan Chu’s face. However, because he didn’t reply, she waited there, trying to be patient. Ye Chenyuan thought that she looked so adorable. He wanted… He wanted to knock her down and savor her as much as he could!

Ye Chenyuan licked his charming, red lips. His eyes stared steadily at Yuan Chu.

His last bit of reason told him that if he rushed out right now, not only would he not earn his beloved treasure, but he would also push her even farther away! At the thought of Yuan Chu ignoring him and expelling him from her tutelage, never to smile at him or hug him or ask him for food again, he felt like his heart was being stabbed. 

Two entirely different kinds of suffering sliced into his psyche like a thousand cuts. Finally, he closed his eyes and turned so his back faced outwards. 

“Don’t worry about me, Master. In three days, I will come out. Don’t, open, the shield!”

After saying this, his voice disappeared. Yuan Chu called out to him several more times, but he made not a sound. Whenever she thought about moving aside the shield, his words would echo in her mind, pushing her back.
