Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1189 - 1189 1175 Easing

Chapter 1189: Chapter 1175: Easing Chapter 1189: Chapter 1175: Easing Little Hong looked at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

Ye Chen continued, “I’m not lying to you. You should also know that I came from the Central Plains, but what you may not know is why I came here. The reason I’m here is because of Magic Power. I wanted to use the Sacred Spirit Stone to destroy the ring, but our last attempt at casting the spell failed, and I wasn’t able to destroy the ring.”

“Really?” Little Hong still looked skeptical.

“Of course, it’s true.”

“Which means you could go mad with magic at any moment.”

“Exactly, and that’s why I was drinking alcohol last night and still smell of it today. You must have sensed it in the room.”

Little Hong didn’t say anything.

“So, if you really want what’s best for your miss, you better hurry up and help, convince her not to go down this path, or she might really end up a widow.” Ye Chen believed it must have been that girl who told others about them getting married on the boat and entering their bridal chamber; he understood why the girl had let the news out.

It was to stake her claim, since he was already hers, these servant girls needed to keep their distance. No wonder they knew not to come too close, knowing he belonged to their young mistress.

“Whatever she chooses to do, it’s not for us to manage.”

“So, don’t go spreading rumors that I belong to your young mistress. It could damage her reputation, and if I were to die one day, how would she marry someone else?”

“What are you doing, staying in the yard all day without going out?”

“Researching the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“You’re in charge of the Sacred Spirit Stone?”

“As of now, that’s the case,” Ye Chen replied.

“Then your martial arts must be pretty good. It seems the Island Master values you a lot.”

Ye Chen said proudly, “Of course, not everyone can shoulder such a responsibility.”

“You’re not the least bit modest.”

“There’s no need for modesty in this matter.” Ye Chen quickly followed up with, “You two wouldn’t happen to be servants from that girl’s yard, would you?”

Little Hong looked over in surprise and asked, “How did you know?”

“She must have warned you that I’m a heart-stealing thief with many tricks up my sleeve, and to be careful not to fall for my sweet words.”

It was genuinely surprising that he had been able to figure it out.

“How did you come to know our young mistress?” Little Hong asked curiously.

Ye Chen seriously recounted the events and what had happened.

Little Hong was still surprised, having not expected so much to have happened in such a short period. Nangong Yan had arranged for this guy to stay in the largest courtyard, something that had never happened before. It was clear to see what position this guy held in the eyes of their young mistress.

Before they knew it, they had chatted for half the day. Ye Chen then said, “Ah, let’s continue our chat later, I still need to study the Sacred Spirit Stone.” If he wanted to be freed sooner, he had to focus on the task at hand. If he didn’t desire to linger here, and wanted to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible, he had to double his efforts.

Drinking was just a temporary pleasure, but it didn’t solve the real problems.

“Not continuing our chat?” Little Hong asked.

“You are all her servants, so you must be on guard against me. What’s there left to talk about?”

Little Hong chuckled, and Ye Chen walked towards the back garden. There was a Bagua Tower in the backyard designated for practicing martial arts.

At noon, Nangong Yan arrived, bringing with her plenty of delicacies.

At that moment, Ye Chen had just come out from the Bagua Tower, not remembering exactly what he had done the night before, but he was sure he hadn’t said anything good.

Seeing Nangong Yan, he felt quite embarrassed.

The delicious food was laid out on the table in the pavilion, and he knew it was carefully prepared by Nangong Yan just for him. He really didn’t want her to treat him so well; the better she treated him, the more he felt indebted to her.

“About last night, whatever I said, just think of it as nothing but nonsense, don’t take it to heart,” Ye Chen spoke first.

“Fine, I’ll consider everything you’ve ever said as nonsense. Does that work for you?” Nangong Yan said.

Ye Chen didn’t know what else to say, only managing, “You don’t have to be so nice to me. I can’t eat that much, a few simple dishes would suffice, why go to such expense?”

“But you are an honored guest here; I wouldn’t dare to entertain you carelessly.”

“I’m no honored guest,” Ye Chen sat down.

“Here, silver for wine, feel free to take it and drink as much as you like.”

A purse was thrown over, which Ye Chen could only use to cover his eyes, wondering how he could possibly accept it. He said, “I was just talking nonsense last night, don’t take it seriously.” Now that he was sober.

She was still pleased to hear him say that, finding it good he wasn’t so stubborn anymore. She continued, “Then you won’t go drinking anymore.”

“Drinking every now and then is fine, but you can’t drink every day. How does drinking solve any problems?”

At least he was clear-headed in this moment.

“Truly, how does drinking solve any problems?”

“I understand the situation, but no matter how anxious you get, you shouldn’t joke about yourself,” Nangong Yan said.

“Thorough, how can you joke about yourself? I must have drunk too much last night; otherwise, I wouldn’t remember anything.”

“What do you think of these two girls? Do you want me to pick a few more for you?”

“No need for that, they are already ravishingly beautiful,” Ye Chen said while eating.

“As long as you’re not to the point of wanting life or death.”

“How could I be at the point of wanting life or death? Am I that kind of person?”

“Then who was crying last night with tears and snot?” Nangong Yan said with a bit of tease.

Ye Chen felt very embarrassed. He truly didn’t remember what happened afterward and said, “You must be joking with me. How could I have been crying with tears and snot? You’re definitely making things up.”

“Still don’t believe it? I’ll call the Black Demonic Spirit here. He was also present at the time. You acted as if it was the end of the world, saying you didn’t want to live.”

Ye Chen felt even more embarrassed, so ashamed he didn’t know what to say, feeling tremendously awkward and not daring to look at her.

“If there is anything, just say it.”

“It’s nothing, everything will be fine from now on,” Ye Chen said casually.

This sentence seemed meaningful. Nangong Yan looked at him, and he continued to wolf down the dumplings, praising the cook’s superb skills.

“Or else, I could prepare a few jars of wine for you to drink freely in the yard.”

Ye Chen got a fright and said, “Drinking is just asking for punishment. I still have a headache till now. To solve problems, we can’t rely on drinking. Once sober, the problems remain unsolved.”

“I thought you didn’t understand this principle,” she said as she sat down opposite him, really resembling his lady.

“Next, I must focus all my time and energy on the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“So you want to quickly figure it out, defeat Qiandu Xiang, and return to the Central Plains as soon as possible, right?”

“Of course, I’m always going to return to the Central Plains.”

“Then you should put more effort into researching the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“Of course, that’s exactly what I’m doing. You don’t need to worry about me.”

“I’m not worried about you. I simply hope to defeat Qiandu Xiang as soon as possible to avenge my sister, Ouyang Yue.” Last night, she had thought it over and realized that this monkey only had that girl in his heart, and that probably wasn’t going to change.

“Aren’t you going to eat a little?”

“I have already eaten.”

The two acted as if nothing had happened.

Guo Yuqing had been waiting anxiously for a message from Li Mo but became even more anxious when it arrived.

The content of the message was not what she had heard.

Holding the letter, Luo Rui read it over and over, feeling anxious, and murmured, “How can this be, if the Sacred Spirit Ring isn’t destroyed, what should we do?” She knew Guo Yuqing was anxious.

Guo Yuqing said nothing, continuing in her silence.

“If even the Spiritual Stone can’t do it, what then?” Luo Rui asked in return.

“Now we can only wait. Wait for him to defeat Qiandu Xiang, then we can slowly think of a solution.”

“If by then there’s really no solution, wouldn’t Ye Chen go mad?”

Hearing this, Guo Yuqing immediately became anxious and said, “That can’t happen, absolutely not.” She dared not contemplate what to do if such a thing indeed occurred.

“It seems there is one way, which is to transfer the magic power to someone else’s body, right?”

How could Guo Yuqing not have thought of this? She quickly took out another letter from the drawer and showed it to Luo Rui. It was what Li Mo had found out from Nangong Yao.

Upon reading it, Luo Rui saw that it was very clear that it could not guarantee success either because Ye Chen was too entangled with the magic power, saying, “Then we can find someone to try when the time comes. Maybe it will be successful.”

“The monkey won’t do such a thing.”

Indeed, contemplating using a normal person for harm, that was not something Ye Chen would do, Luo Rui said, “When the time comes, we can deceive Ye Chen, and it should work.”

“For now, let’s not think about these things. We’ll wait until they defeat Qiandu Xiang.”

Luo Rui could only nod.

“How could this be? Didn’t Divine Doctor Zhu say that the ring could be destroyed?”

Guo Yuqing said, “Yes, Divine Doctor Zhu did say the power of the Sacred Spirit Stone could destroy the ring. However, we didn’t expect that Ye Chen was so tightly bound to it. Destroying the ring would also kill Ye Chen. I don’t know if Divine Doctor Zhu has made any progress after all this time.”

Suddenly, Luo Rui worriedly said, “That means no one can be sure whether Ye Chen will be able to function normally in the future.”

This entailed that they couldn’t tell Yun’er that Ye Chen was still alive, but they both knew that Xia Yue was constantly pushing for Guo Yuyun and Song Xizhi’s relationship recently.

“We can’t tell my sister,” Guo Yuqing said clearly. Now, telling Guo Yuyun would be like harming her, and moreover, Ye Chen would never agree. Guo Yuqing was a rational person. For her sister’s safety and Ye Chen’s instructions, she had to keep hiding the truth.

“But I know if this continues, my sister won’t be able to hold on any longer. She might very well agree with our mother and marry Song Xizhi,” Luo Rui calculated that Ye Chen needed to remove Qiandu Xiang and then find a solution. The delay in this process was uncertain, and nobody knew how long it would last.
