The Distinguished Cute Master

Chapter – 49 Famous 

He didn’t want to hurt Yuan Chu.

And so, he decided to leave. It would give him and Yuan Chu time to grow and would give himself the chance to let go.

He knew that some emotions would lighten. He had seen members of his clan who trusted each other with their lives turn into bitter enemies. Thus, ever since he was small, he understood that feelings could expire.

If he could leave her for some time and let go, it would be the best result for her. If not…

Ye Chenyuan closed his eyes. We’ve only been together for a couple of years. It’s definitely, definitely possible!

His mood was heavy and his choice was hard, but Yuan Chu’s heart was very cheerful.

The male lead was going to go out to train! The plot was starting! Beauties were going to come out! The treasures were near!

Yuan Chu lowered her head, the abacus in her heart clacking away. With Ye Chenyuan’s ‘filial piety’, even if she wasn’t by his side, he would come back to split the good things in three to seven with her. And so, she didn’t have to worry about treasures.

But she was so bored! She would rather change her identity and follow Ye Chenyuan than go back to Myriad Sword Sect and be deprived of her rights to sleep late. First of all, she could train; second, she could watch the drama. It was the best of both worlds, lots of birds with one stone!

Thus, they talked it out in the Sky Pearl. In the end, everyone agreed to let Ye Chenyuan go out and train on his own while Yuan Chu would return to Myriad Sword Sect.

Ye Chenyuan was very quiet during these days of parting. He roasted a lot of meat and stored it away so that Yuan Chu could eat it whenever she wanted. Naturally, a variety of sweets and spiritual fruits were indispensable as well. He was always busy preparing things for Yuan Chu.

Meanwhile, Yuan Chu looked on smilingly. Delicacies, who would refuse them?

Finally, when Ye Chenyuan was leaving, Yuan Chu held his hand and brought up her last request.

“Little Yuan Yuan, you should lift the Sky Pearl sharing contract between us.”

Ye Chenyuan’s expression changed. Was Master mad? Did she want to set clear boundaries between them?!

Not waiting for Ye Chenyuan to speak, Yuan Chu hurried to say, “You’ll be training outside while I stay at Myriad Sword Sect. Even if we’re contracted, I won’t be able to enter the Sky Pearl. If you lift the contract, you can contract with someone else if you ever have to. In short, that’s what we’re gonna do! We can continue the contract when you return anyway, and I’ll be mad if you don’t agree!”

She was very frightening once she got angry!

Yuan Chu’s words were filled with thoughts for him, but Ye Chenyuan still frowned. He didn’t want to lift the contract. After they contracted, he had a sort of reaction to Yuan Chu. Whenever she was close, the feeling was stronger, and even if she was far away, he would have a feeling of missing her.

However, Yuan Chu insisted with the attitude that if he didn’t agree, she wouldn’t let him leave. Only then did he reluctantly lift the contract. The moment he did, he felt a burst of emptiness. It was as if the last connection between them was broken off.

But Yuan Chu was secretly smiling. If the contract wasn’t lifted, she would easily be discovered at Ye Chenyuan’s side. Now that it was lifted, it would be very difficult for him to see through her transformation. She had thought of everything; it was a foolproof plan!

Finally, everything that needed to be done was done. After Yuan Chu had eaten her fill, she watched as Ye Chenyuan departed.

They had been together for several years, interacting day and night, and sharing their happiness. This parting, not to mention Ye Chenyuan, even Venerable Li was a bit regretful.

“Ah… It’ll be a bit strange without that girl here to jest.”

Ye Chenyuan looked back and saw Yuan Chu standing on the hillside, cheerfully waving at him.

She was so simple. Her smile forever hung on her face, as if she had never known worry before. However, he… he was worried because of her.

How would he pass his days without her? Ye Chenyuan had never considered this question before. He only knew that his decision to leave was for her own good.

But right now, his entire body was painful and uncomfortable. His breathing turned labored as if someone had pulled out one of his ribs.

Only, she was still young. She didn’t understand anything. He could still wait until she grew up, no?

Although he was entirely unwilling, Ye Chenyuan still resolutely turned back around. He would do his best to become stronger no matter what. When he first hailed Yuan Chu as his master, he had promised her that he would protect her.

At the thought that Master would one day hide under his wings for him to protect her, his spirits rose, and he felt the pain of departing lessen.

Anyway, judging from her appearance, it would still be a while before she understood things. He did not need to worry about someone taking the opportunity to enter her heart while he was away. Hence, he should use this chance to become stronger.

Naturally, Yuan Chu didn’t know about Ye Chenyuan’s preoccupied mind. She smiled evilly at the sight of him leaving. She was calculating in her heart: what appearance should she change into so that Ye Chenyuan wouldn’t discover her? She needed to think carefully!

Two months later,  in an old forest deep in the mountains.

Ye Chenyuan sat cross-legged under a tree. After he withdrew his last breath, Venerable Li said from his sea of consciousness, “Not bad. You stabilized your Foundation Building cultivation so quickly. Your master would be very happy if she knew.”

Ye Chenyuan’s eyes flashed. Venerable Li would always subconsciously mention Yuan Chu, but was he not the same?

He never dared to think about that overwhelming fantasy he had experienced during those three days. He missed her so much, but he only dared to slightly recall her smile. His body, his limbs, his hundreds of bones, not a single part of him did not miss her. His yearning reached deep into his bones, making every day hard to bear.

After his emotions dwindled, he heard Venerable Li say, “Okay, this area of the forest doesn’t have any more powerful spiritual beasts. Go take a good rest in a city. And eat well; you look like you’ve lost a lot of weight.”

Ye Chenyuan nodded and then headed off toward the nearest city.

Yet, right after he entered the city, he had overheard many rumors.

“Have you heard? One of Myriad Sword Sect’s disciples experienced a four-nine tribulation during foundation building! He’s even more powerful than the demon monarch of the demon world!”

“Isn’t that impossible? How could he, a Foundation Builder, endure a four-nine tribulation? Even if he did, someone definitely helped him share the lightning tribulation. If he doesn’t bear it on his own, the tribulation will not only fail to help him, but it will also harm his root bone. What’s there to admire?”

“Humph humph. You don’t know this, right? He endured it all by himself. A four-nine tribulation at Foundation Building, it’s an earth-shattering, heaven-splitting first! Looks like our Heavenly Continent has another genius now!”

“Oh? Who was it? So powerful!”

“I’m not sure… People have gone to ask Myriad Sword Sect, but for his protection, the sect didn’t say. They only said that his master, Frost Sword Peak’s honored cultivator, is called Yuan Chu. This Yuan Chu is also amazing. Have you ever heard of a ten-year-old Nascent Soul!”

Everyone was astonished. Meanwhile, the more Ye Chenyuan heard, the deeper he frowned. It seemed someone had publicized his ascension to Foundation Building
