The Distinguished Cute Master

Chapter 54 – Opened With a KissJust as Ye Chenyuan was doing his best to control himself, he heard a shriek from nearby. 

It was Yuan Chu’s voice!

Ye Chenyuan was startled. In the next instant, he teleported as if a shadow, to where Yuan Chu was calling for help. His speed shocked even Venerable Li.

Did Ye Chenyuan just teleport? Core Formation cultivators could barely use teleportation. How could Ye Chenyuan use it? Was there something wrong with his eyes?

“What’s wrong?!” Ye Chenyuan rushed in, burning with anxiety. However, he froze for a moment after he saw the scene inside.

“Oh? You came? Hurry and help me get out of here! This stupid clam, I can’t break it!”

It turns out that when Yuan Chu ran inside the new house, there wasn’t a bed where there should have been one. There was a giant clam instead. Yuan Chu was curious and laid in it for a moment, finding it quite soft. Yet, the clam closed around her immediately. Even after using all her strength, she couldn’t push it open. It was so absurd!

Ye Chenyuan kneeled down on one leg next to the clam. The pink clam was fiercely shaking back and forth. That was probably because Yuan Chu was beating and kicking it from inside.

His almost crazy emotions immediately relaxed. He wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry after seeing her like this.

That was just how tormenting his master was. It wasn’t enough to just push him to the extreme. She also had to pull him deeper. Yet, with no other way, he gladly endured it all.

His resentment from before scattered like smoke. Even though she shattered all his hard work, he couldn’t blame her. She was just that cute.

Ye Chenyuan asked Venerable Li in his sea of consciousness, “Venerable Li, what kind of clam is this? Why isn’t it opening even though her cultivation is so high?”

Venerable Li thought for a bit and then suddenly laughed. “Looks like we were fooled by this palace. There’s actually some good stuff here! Say, for example, this clam. It’s not an ordinary giant clam, but a natural treasure of the deep sea. The dragon race loves using them as marriage beds. It also represents their respect for their partner.

“On the night of the wedding, the dragon race seems to do the same as people of the secular world. If the groom wants to marry the bride, he must go through a series of trials. This giant clam is the last trial. The bride hides in here. Once the groom arrives, he must kneel down in front of the clam and kiss it. If the clam feels that the groom is truly sincere toward the bride, it will open. If it finds that the groom is not sincere to the bride, it will shut tightly, so this clam is also called…”

Ye Chenyuan didn’t wait for him to finish speaking after he heard how to get the clam to open. He lightly kissed the clam. The moment his lips touched its shell, it suddenly turned from pink to a deep, alluring red as if it was very embarrassed. Then, it trembled and opened up.

“What did you say it was called?” Ye Chenyuan thought it was very interesting. He laughed, signaling for Venerable Li to continue.

Meanwhile, Venerable Li’s entire soul felt unwell now!

What was it called? Th-this definitely was a fake one-heart clam!

Inside, Yuan Chu was also stunned. She had kicked the stupid thing for so long, and it hadn’t opened then. How come it just obediently opened up once Ye Chenyuan arrived?

Ye Chenyuan reached his hand out to her. There was a smile in his eyes. “Come, let’s search for treasures together.”

Yuan Chu subconsciously took his hand. She was a bit dazed as Ye Chenyuan pulled her out. Could Ye Chenyuan actually be more powerful than her? So he could easily open the giant clam that trapped her? Or maybe it was a female clam, so it couldn’t keep its shell shut at the sight of such a hot guy?

If that was how it was, then it really was a l*wd clam!

Meanwhile, Ye Chenyuan was outwardly calm, but Venerable Li was bombarding him from the inside.

“What was that? Why did the clam open once you kissed? Could it be that you’re in love with a man?! When did that happen?! Are you already so devoted even though you just met him?! Is this how you’re repaying me and your master’s thorough care and teaching?!”

The corners of Ye Chenyuan’s mouth raised slightly. “I don’t know why it opened like that. I’m confused too.”

Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, Venerable Li calmed down.

Illusion, that thing from before was definitely an illusion! How could Ye Chenyuan fall in love with a man? The legend was definitely a lie. After all, if a one-heart clam could truly test sincerity, what if the groom couldn’t get the clam to open on the wedding night? How embarrassing would that be? Would they still even get married?!

So to avoid embarrassment, the clam must have a characteristic that makes it open whenever a man kisses it!

Since that’s how it was, it really was a l*wd clam!

This little interlude quickly ended. When they left the palace, Ye Chenyuan waved his hand. With anxiousness but also care, he settled the crystal palace into the Sky Pearl.

However, he hadn’t thought that once he put away the palace, the tiny, underwater secret realm would suddenly shake. Ripples appeared in the protective seal above them. Yuan Chu immediately realized that the situation was taking a bad turn. The people searching for treasures outside would definitely find this place!

Thus, she could hide no longer. She pushed Ye Chenyuan behind the cluster of corals. Before he could react, something sucked him in, and he disappeared.

Countless rays of light flashed before Yuan Chu’s eyes. Sure enough, people had noticed the commotion. They rushed in.

“Someone got here first!” The first treasure hunters to arrive saw that Yuan Chu arrived earlier than them and refused to take it lying down.

However, when they realized that they couldn’t see through Yuan Chu’s cultivation, they resentfully gave up and left to search for anything remaining.

Many cultivators were successful in their cultivation because they were cautious. They would not do things like killing people so easily.

That was good too; she could still save some energy. Yuan Chu pulled out her little fan and fanned herself.

Actually, there was still a bunch of good stuff left in this secret realm. After all, they hadn’t done much plundering. Too bad she had to protect Ye Chenyuan. Otherwise, who was better at snatching things than her? Although she couldn’t use the items, she could keep and sell them for spirit stones. Ah, such heartache!

Just as she was lamenting about those treasures, a red figure hurtled over!

“Hey, have you seen Ye Chenyuan?” Ji Hongyan found Yuan Chu as a giant eyesore. Her tone was provocative.

But it was fine. Yuan Chu had plenty of patience for good-looking people. She ignored Ji Hongyan’s haughty gaze and smiled. “He earned an inheritance. It might take a while for him to come out.”

Only then did Ji Hongyan’s frown loosen. At the sight of more and more people heading towards the small secret realm, Ji Hongyan thought of something. She pulled Yuan Chu behind a patch of reef, her expression serious.

“Tell me the truth. You have such high cultivation, so why did you follow us?”

I came here to watch the drama!

Yuan Chu laughed. To Ji Hongyan’s pretty face, she obnoxiously said, “Because… I think you are very pretty.”

“So, you want to pursue me!”

Ji Hongyan raised her brows high. Looking at Yuan Chu’s face which would be so easily lost if thrown into the crowd, she hardened her heart and made a decision!
