Chapter 1163 - 1163 1149 A Real Manly Stand

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1149: A Real Manly Stand Chapter 1163: Chapter 1149: A Real Manly Stand Ouyang Yue said, “Really, you’re quite manly in what you did.”

“Oh! Is it because you also really need such a man?” Ye Chen asked with a laugh.

“No, thanks. Going to Sky Mountain to find the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus for that girl leaves a lot to the imagination.”

“What kind of imagination?”

“It’s so dangerous, and yet you just went for it. Of course there’s room for imagination. If it were me, I’d be so moved that I would never think of marrying someone else for the rest of my life.”

Ye Chen heard the mocking tone and didn’t take it to heart.

“The craziest part is telling her that you’re dead. This kind of thing, I guess only you could do it. I can tell she must love you a lot.”

“Yo, I’d actually like to hear about that.” Ye Chen was quite bored.

“You did it because you’re scared she wouldn’t let go, and you would bring danger to her. I can understand that. You almost killed her; you did it because you were afraid of losing her. You wanted to protect her. You’ve been so conflicted these days; in fact, you also want to live a good life with her.”

“You have such a clever mind, yet you’re not using it to deal with Qiandu Xiang. What a pity,” Ye Chen said coldly, as though his secret had been exposed.

“Too bad your plan failed. You weren’t able to destroy the Wolf King’s Ring, or else you’d definitely have Li Mo tell her you’re still alive, right?” Ouyang Yue said.

Ye Chen chose to remain silent.

“I’m more curious about whether you’ve been conflicted about how to face her sister,” she probed.

Ye Chen said, “What’s there for me to be conflicted about now? With nothing in both hands, if I have the time, I might as well enjoy fishing. It’s quite liberating.”

“Speak for yourself, ‘liberating.’ I think you’re just putting on an act of nonchalance.”

“What do I have to be nonchalant about?”

“In the last few days, you’ve been heavy-hearted. Isn’t it because you’re afraid she’ll marry someone else before you can rush back?”

“Then you’re really wrong. I wouldn’t live or die over someone.”

Ouyang Yue scoffed and said, “Of course, you’re so carefree. Who could outdo you?”

“Are you here to mock me today?”

Ouyang Yue didn’t expect this guy to suddenly get anxious. It seemed her analysis wasn’t wrong; this guy was an impassioned man, not so transcendental after all.

“With all the thought you’re putting into this, you might as well use it to find someone for yourself.”

“I’m not in as much of a hurry as you are.”

“Wait until you become an old woman, and then you won’t be able to marry off.”

“You’re the one with no wife to marry yet.”

Ye Chen didn’t expect her to get angry too and laughed, “It’s because of Si Nanyu, right? But that boy is indeed good; despite the risks to himself, he is worth entrusting your life to. However, heroes have short lives.”

“You’re the one with a short life!” Ouyang Yue retorted angrily, but Ye Chen’s reminder inadvertently made her recall some past events. She realized some things are gone for good, never to return.

Seeing Ouyang Yue looking somewhat sorrowful, Ye Chen grew curious and asked, “Do you really not know who your father is?”

Ouyang Yue looked over, wondering why this guy was curious about that, and said, “That’s none of your business.”

“I also didn’t know who my own father was until I was thirteen. But isn’t it true that every child wants to know their real father? Even if they hated him, there would be a basis for it. In the year I turned thirteen, I thought I had finally found my birth father, but what followed was a string of misfortunes, and my mother died.”

“At the age of eighteen, I learned that my real dad was a great demon. Ironically, the day we met, we could only be enemies,” he said with a bitter laugh.

You could feel his helplessness. He sighed, and it turns out he wasn’t wrong. She did hate her father, but how could she not want to know? Her mother had hidden things too well, refusing to disclose the truth. She searched several times, only to provoke her mother’s neurosis, ending fruitlessly and giving up the search.

Ouyang Yue said, “What would I do after finding such a cold-blooded person? Without him, haven’t I also grown up just fine? What’s the use of finding him now?”

Sensing some helplessness, Ye Chen asked, “Haven’t you ever tried to ask others? Or who your mother had relationships with?”

“Who haven’t I asked? But no one is willing to tell me. They only say my father is a scumbag. How could he not be a scumbag? If he wasn’t, how could he abandon me, causing my mother to become more and more neurotic on top of her frail health?”

“You hate him because of your mother’s death, don’t you?” Ye Chen guessed.

“Ah, if he doesn’t want me, why would I want to see him? Better not to meet. Meeting him wouldn’t make any sense.”

Seeing this pitiful girl, Ye Chen felt even more empathy and said, “Don’t be so negative. I can understand everything you’ve gone through. If it were anyone else, they would have broken down by now, with their beloved godfather killed and someone who loved them dying because of them.”

She rarely mentioned these things to others, and she even kept them hidden from Nangong Yan, pretending to be strong and not wanting to bring them up. But for some reason, she couldn’t help her tears from flowing now.

It startled Ye Chen too, who didn’t know what to do and quickly said, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought up these sad things.”

Ouyang Yue replied, “It’s not your fault, I’ve already accepted everything. I was just suddenly moved.”

“Then let’s talk about something happy. If you kill Qiandu Xiang, you’ll be the Sect Leader of the Sacred Spirit Sect.”

Ouyang Yue knew her own limitations all too well. An insider has yet to be found, and if it hadn’t been for the help of Nangong Yao and the others, she would have died a hundred times over by now. How could she have survived till now? She said, “I’m not cut out to be a Sect Leader. Even if I became one, no one would follow me. Most importantly, I don’t have any desire to be a Sect Leader.”

“But your Sacred Spirit Sect will still need a Sect Leader in the future.”

Ouyang Yue said, “Whoever wants to be Sect Leader can be Sect Leader. I just want to avenge my godfather and senior brother.”

“You’re not going to take revenge and then become a nun, are you? If that’s the case, I believe many people would want to know where you plan to become a nun and if there are any Monk Temples nearby.”

“Can’t you be serious for once? I haven’t given up on the world. Why would I become a nun?”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “That’s true. Such a peerlessly beautiful woman becoming a nun would be a sin. Nuwa didn’t create you to be a nun.”

Hearing the praise of being peerlessly beautiful made Ouyang Yue happy, and she smiled and asked, “Am I really that pretty?”

“Wow, you’re beautiful and you don’t even know it?”

“I’ve never really noticed.”

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Ye Chen continued, “Don’t worry, you have so many uncles willing to help you, they will surely help you take revenge. I’ll help too.”

Indeed, with this guy’s help, there was a good chance of succeeding. She asked, “Why do you want to help me? Is it because of Nangong Yan?”

“Why does there have to be a reason? I’m just lending a hand. You don’t have to repay me with your body. Besides, although the Sacred Spirit Stone didn’t help me destroy the ring, it did help my friends, the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit, recover their bodies.”

“Do you expect every decent girl you help to repay you with their body?”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Of course not. Even if I did want someone to repay me with their body, they would have to be as stunningly beautiful as you. You really think I run a junkyard!”

Ouyang Yue pouted, looking unconvinced, and said, “Nangong Yan has already fallen for you.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen instantly felt a headache and said, “Are you trying to end our conversation now?”

“You’re so clever, I’m sure you’ve noticed, so you’ve been avoiding her. My saying it is just superfluous.”

“Then let’s not talk about it.”

“I’m still very thankful for your help.” Ouyang Yue was very aware that without his help, she might not have survived the last danger, and she continued, “I’ll treat you tonight.” Especially since this perfect plan, if it really did kill Qiandu Xiang, would mean her revenge was complete.

“A treat, for offering you such a good plan, and all you think to do is treat me?”

“What else would you want?”

Ye Chen wondered, right, what else could he want?

Ouyang Yue went on, “Nangong Yan and you were locked in a room for so many days, and you couldn’t do anything to her. What could you possibly want?”

That was a harsh statement, a blow to his pride, making Ye Chen feel ashamed, as if she were calling him incapable. He quickly said, “I was being responsible. I’m not the kind of guy who pounces on every woman he sees.”

“Who knows? Maybe you have the desire but not the courage.” Ouyang Yue stood up, saying, “Let’s stop fishing, or it’ll be dark soon.”

Ye Chen shook his head.

“Come on, we’re having a fresh hot pot tonight, a rare treat from the sea.”

“Hot pot’s meant to be enjoyed with a drink.”

“If it’s drinking you want, then we’ll drink. I’m not afraid of you.”

That look in her eyes, full of disdain, left Ye Chen at a loss for a retort.

Ouyang Yue picked up the wooden bucket and headed toward the hall; the fresh catch still needed to be delivered to the kitchen for preparation.

Ye Chen was actually very nervous too. How could he not be? He’d seen too much bloodshed. If he could eliminate Qiandu Xiang this time, it would be ridding the world of a major scourge.
