The Distinguished Cute Master

Chapter 51 – Female Side-Character Who Lost Her Charm

The people from the Xue family were shaken. Their concentration broke and the formation had scattered with it. And after the sword light disappeared, they could see that the person who caught the sword was entirely unharmed.

He took a few steps forward. He was fanning himself with a fan that he got from who knows where. His smile revealed neat, pearly white teeth along with a hint of wickedness.

“I, this young master, can’t stand men who hit women the most. If you have a problem, come to me!”

And who was this outstandingly elegant and domineering young master? Naturally, it was Yuan Chu after transformation.

She hadn’t thought that she would ever see Ye Chenyuan saving a damsel in distress. It seemed her teaching hadn’t gone to waste.

Plus, with this appearance, she no longer has to worry about Ye Chenyuan recognizing her.

Little did she know that behind her, Ye Chenyuan was looking at her with an examining gaze.

“Wh… Who are you?!” To be able to counter the full-on attack of the four of them combined, this person’s strength… They definitely were not his opponent!

Yuan Chu’s smile grew more satisfied. The mediocre face she transformed into turned flamboyant under her lively expression.

“Good question. Who am I? Naturally, I’m someone who noticed something unusual and wanted to be the hero saving the beauty!”

The Xue family people were unwilling. The young person in charge indignantly said, “Then Senior must know that this woman purposely broke our Xue family’s spiritual liquid which can only be obtained once every hundred years. Could it be that we shouldn’t have her pay for it?”

“Uh…” Yuan Chu’s smile stiffened. She just knew that this Ji Hongyan girl would stir up trouble! However, she just froze for a moment and then continued waving her fan. She spoke in a rich and overbearing manner. “Hundred-year spiritual fluid? Could it be that it was made of natural glass liquid? That is pretty hard to get. How about this? I’ll use this to exchange for it.”

He waved his fan as he said this, and a small jade bottle flew over. The Xue family’s youth caught it and looked at it. His expression immediately changed. In the next instant, he very carefully put the bottle away.

The nearby people were extremely curious. What did this powerful-looking person give him?

Yuan Chu calmly continued fanning herself. “It’s enough, no?”

The people from the Xue family exchanged glances. Their arrogance from before disappeared, they then bowed deeply. “It’s enough. This Junior had offended you just now, may Senior please be magnanimous.”

“No harm was done, no harm is done. Since it’s fine, you guys can take your leave first!”

“Yes, we ask to be excused now.”

The scene was originally steaming with killing intent, but it all disappeared like smoke. Venerable Li suddenly spoke, “Although we’ve never seen this man before, doesn’t he seem a bit familiar?”

Ye Chenyuan didn’t reply.

And Yuan Chu, who had taken care of the little Xue family episode, turned around and looked at Ji Hongyan first.

“This little beauty received such a shock. I don’t know if I could have the honor of inviting you to this city’s most expensive Fragrance Pavilion for a simple meal and some wine?”

She believed that although her transformed face was very ordinary, her charm was unsurpassable. But who would have known? Ji Hongyan didn’t even bother to look at Yuan Chu before throwing herself at Ye Chenyuan. Her face was full of shyness, she said, “Many thanks to you just now. Your name is Ye Chenyuan, right? I’m Ji Hongyan. You’ve saved me twice!”

Yuan Chu immediately became unhappy. She subconsciously puffed up her cheeks. She was clearly the one who saved them. Why was Ji Hongyan thanking Ye Chenyuan?!

Her downcast face landed in Ye Chenyuan’s field of vision, and the expression in his eyes grew deeper.

Ye Chenyuan lowered his head and thought for a bit. Then, he moved Ji Hongyan’s hand aside and took a few steps forward, bowing solemnly to her.

“Junior Ye Chenyuan thanks Senior greatly for saving us.”

Now, Yuan Chu’s face turned sunny. The little fan in her hand waved cheerfully.

See, see! Her disciple was still the polite one!

“Oh, no problem. I just wanted to help the little beauty. You were incidental, mhm, incidental!”

Ye Chenyuan’s eyes smiled at these words. “Dare I ask how to address Senior?”

How to address… Yuan Chu smiled with a toothy grin. “My last name is Yue, first name is Chengou. You can call me Brother Yue.”

“Okay, Brother Yue.”

Ji Hongyan gritted her teeth and glared at Yuan Chu. Really! Where did this obnoxious meddler come from? Didn’t he see that she was trying to tempt the little youth?

Though, the two conversing people didn’t realize that. Yuan Chu folded up her fan and smiled. “The sky is getting dark. Why don’t we go sit for a while at Fragrance Pavilion? I’m older than you two, so it’ll be my treat!”

Ye Chenyuan thought for a moment and replied, his voice lowered, “Alright. It would be disrespectful to decline.”

From the way they spoke, they had no intention of asking for Ji Hongyan’s opinion. This pushed her into a fit of rage!

Soon, they had drunk three rounds of wine, and the three gradually became more familiar with each other. Meanwhile, Ji Hongyan was persistently throwing flirtatious glances at Ye Chenyuan, but to no avail. Ye Chenyuan acted as if he was blind to see and only spoke to Yuan Chu.

At first, Yuan Chu thought that he had recognized her. However, seeing his calm, unchanged face, she put her doubts aside.

And rightfully so. In order to keep Ye Chenyuan and Venerable Li from recognizing her, she was using the immortal-grade magic treasure Thousand-Leaves Mask. Wearing it, your entire aura would change, and you could change your gender and appearance as well. Even a Nascent Soul wouldn’t be able to see through it.

Plus, although Venerable Li was powerful, he hadn’t recovered to that level yet. He definitely would not be able to recognize her, much less Ye Chenyuan.

With these thoughts in mind, she continued to be at ease while chatting with him, seemingly without a care in the world.

Only Ji Hongyan was dissatisfied to the extreme. The two men had quickly crowded out her sense of existence. Hence, she thought of something and suddenly said in a loud voice, “Oh, right! Since we’re kindred spirits now, why don’t we go to Celestial Poles Lake together? I heard that the treasure light appeared there three days ago. Why don’t we go and try our luck?”

Naturally, Yuan Chu had no objections. She was just here to play, so she quickly nodded in response.

However, Ye Chenyuan frowned. He said to Ji Hongyan, “Fairy Ji, I have no intention of going with you. After this meal, you should leave first.”

Ji Hongyan’s smile stiffened. She had lived for so long, and this was the first time that a man had rejected her like this.

Her grasp tightened on her chopsticks in anger. Her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“Since you don’t want me to accompany you, could it be that you want this man to accompany you instead?”

She said this in anger, but Ye Chenyuan glanced at Yuan Chu and nodded seriously.

“If Brother Yue does not oppose.”

His earnest attitude almost made Ji Hongyan slam the table and leave. She pushed down her anger and said in an aggrieved tone, “Why would you rather have this man than me? What made you hate me like this?”

Ye Chenyuan indifferently looked at her. “At least, Brother Yue doesn’t have people trying to kill him all the time.”

Yuan Chu who was somehow caught in the crossfire: “…”

Ji Hongyan heard this and knew that Ye Chenyuan found her troublesome. But it was so difficult to find a youth that caught her eyes, and she really didn’t want to give up. Thus, she settled for the next best thing, casting a coquettish glance at Yuan Chu.

“Senior Yue, do you think I’m a burden as well?”

“This…” Yuan Chu was about to say something when Ye Chenyuan cut in.

“Brother Yue is simple and doesn’t know how to refuse. Why must you make things difficult for him?”
