Chapter 1236 - 1236 1222 The Truth

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1222: The Truth Chapter 1236: Chapter 1222: The Truth A large table of delicious food awaited, including dumplings and glutinous rice chicken.

Guo Yuyun glanced at Ye Chen, knowing that only he was aware of her fondness for these two dishes. She hadn’t expected him to remember and sat down too.

Song Xizhi looked at Li Mo and said, “Li Mo, you seem to have always kept in touch with Qing’er. Could you send a letter back to her, tell her we’ve found Yun’er and she is fine, now staying on Sacred Spirit Island?” After boarding the ship, he no longer knew how to contact the people from the Demon Palace.

Li Mo hastily responded, “Don’t worry, I will send a letter back to her.”

Song Xizhi thanked Li Mo.

Ye Chen sat directly across from Yun’er.

Ouyang Yue said, “Li Mo, you should sit down and have breakfast too, and then get busy.”

The Black Demonic Spirit asked, “Shall we go play over there later?”

Ouyang Yue replied, “At our age, you still want to play? It’s been so many days since we returned to the Central Plains, and you haven’t had enough fun! Later, you and the Red Demonic Spirit go help Li Mo, see if you can use your nose to quickly find the Moon Beast.”

“What, I have to go look for the Moon Beast?”

“What’s the matter, are you embarrassed to hang out and have fun with a bunch of us young lads?”

The Black Demonic Spirit, unable to argue, continued to eat, looking quite angry.

Ye Chen wasn’t flirting, which struck Guo Yuyun as odd. He should be offering tasty bites to Ouyang Yue; this behavior was somewhat illogical.

Yet Guo Yuyun wanted to provoke him. Li Mo had said Ye Chen had been particularly distressed recently, so she decided to offer treats to Song Xizhi, feigning affection to see if he would become jealous.

Song Xizhi, however, was taken aback, as he didn’t understand why Guo Yuyun was doing this.

Ye Chen just smirked coldly, apparently unaware that the young mistress knew he was aware of her escapades. Since that was the case, he decided to give her a bit of a shock, “Yu’ er, these dumplings are quite tasty, try them out. Once you’re pregnant, we’ll get married right away.”

Guo Yuyun was so enraged that she was at a loss for words. Li Mo seemed to have figured out Guo Yuyun’s intentions and leaned over, whispering to her, “I’ve told him about you not getting married back in the Central Plains.”

“What?” Guo Yuyun looked incredulous.

“Your sister sent a message by carrier pigeon, mentioning that you had fled from your wedding. I came over this morning to confirm whether you’ve arrived in Sacred Spirit City, and I informed the Sect Leader of the message’s content.”

There, Ye Chen showed off; he had to because he knew she was trying to provoke him, yet he also knew she had run away from her wedding for him, so he wasn’t at all bothered.

Ouyang Yue was somewhat puzzled, but soon she understood what Ye Chen was implying. The girl across from her looked fiercely determined, like a wild animal eyeing its prey, and said, “I can get it myself.”

Only then did Ye Chen stop, muttering to himself, “Little girl, trying to compete with me? Let’s see who gets more riled up.”

Guo Yuyun had been exposed and retaliated against.

“Let’s go boating later,” suggested Ouyang Yue.

“Of course, we’ll go, Mandarin ducks playing in the water,” Ye Chen provocatively replied.

“I’m not interested,” she said, worried that further provocation might cause the girl across from her to explode with rage.

“I know you’re shy; these things indeed shouldn’t be done in public,” he added.

Of course, those words were deliberately said for Guo Yuyun to hear.

Guo Yuyun had intended to tease him but found herself outplayed and didn’t know how to respond. More flirting with Song Xizhi would be pointless now.

The Black Demonic Spirit had had enough, observing these two starting their quarrels early in the morning. With a trip to the boats later, someone would surely end up in the water. He nudged the eating Red Demonic Spirit and said, “Today is sure to provide some great entertainment.”

“Can you not talk?” scolded the Red Demonic Spirit, and then asked, “Li Mo, do you have a lot to deal with here? How come the Moon Beast hasn’t been captured yet?” He had also heard about the Moon Beast’s fusion with Qiandu Xiang; Qiandu Xiang was dead, so why hadn’t the Moon Beast been retrieved?

“The situation was complicated at the time,” explained Li Mo. “After killing Qiandu Xiang, Ouyang Yue was captured, and the Sacred Spirit Stone was snatched by local thugs; our attention wasn’t on the Moon Beast, so it managed to escape.”

“Where is the Moon Beast now?”

“It’s here on this island, hiding in a cave. Finding it should be a matter of a day or two.”

“Then let us help you.”

“If so, that would be great.”

The Black Demonic Spirit said, “Old Red, with your help, they wouldn’t need me, right?”

Ye Chen hadn’t intended to provoke the girl, but thinking back to last night, he wondered if he had gone too far and felt somewhat ashamed. However, this morning, she tried to give him a show of authority, and he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

Guo Yuyun seemed defeated, eating with her head lowered, feeling a deep loss of face.

Breakfast proceeded amid a tense and serious mood until it ended, and then Li Mo left with the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit.

The five remaining people fell into a brief silence.

It wasn’t until Ouyang Yue said, “So, weren’t we planning to go boating?”

Ye Chen was the first to stand up and said, “Yes, of course we’re going.”

With the two leading the way, Ouyang Yue said, “I’m a bit scared that girl might stab me to death with a knife later.” Knowing that Guo Yuyun hadn’t married, it meant she ran away from her marriage for Ye Chen. Now that she had taken someone else’s man, the other party must be feeling very upset.

Ye Chen laughed, saying, “Your skin is thick, a couple of stabs won’t kill you. To gain a husband, some price must be paid.”

“I think the one who should be paying the price is you.”

“Come on, let’s put on an act of intimacy. Didn’t you always say these past few days that we should act more like a husband and wife?” Ye Chen deliberately moved closer; he had thought through much and had to crush that girl’s fantasy to let her down completely so that she would devote herself wholeheartedly to the foolish boy who followed.

“Isn’t that going too far? You know she came all the way for you, even running away from a marriage for your sake.”

“So what?” The two of them walked ahead, with the other three following six or seven steps behind, now entering the crowded streets.

How could Ouyang Yue know what Ye Chen was thinking? She felt indirectly provoking the girl was somewhat inhumane. She had no intention of stealing someone’s beloved; deceiving Ye Chen was initially to prevent him from drinking.

Although she felt a bit of affection for Ye Chen, it wasn’t strong enough to make her marry no one else but him. Besides, she was aware of the real situation between Ye Chen and that girl, and since there was nothing serious between Ye Chen and herself, why invite jealousy?

Ye Chen had a different perspective and was clueless about her true feelings. He thought he probably couldn’t escape his fate. He had learned about the young man from Li Mo’s letter about Qing’er, and even though Guo Yuyun had run away from the marriage, he followed without hesitation, not holding a grudge for the issue, and kept a protective stance around her.

It was clear how well Song Xizhi treated Yun’er, and it wasn’t bad either. The two had developed a relationship over such a long period, just one step away from deepening it. How could there be no affection? The death of Nangong Yan seemed to have just happened, and he was determined not to let something like that happen again. Absolutely not.

The girl had feelings for him and ran away from her marriage, perhaps out of impulse or perhaps out of concern for him. Anyway, he felt that all that was in the past, and he wanted to help the two of them get together.

How could he meddle and separate them at this time? He couldn’t be too selfish; the matter between him and Ouyang Yue was still unresolved.

Ouyang Yue whispered, “Is it because of me that you’re doing this? If it weren’t for our situation, would you plan to be with her?”

“Heh, let’s not talk about that.”

Ouyang Yue couldn’t hold back any longer and said, “No, I need to make things clear with you.”

“Make things clear, clear about what?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

“That night, nothing happened between us.”

Ye Chen was stunned, looked over, and asked, “What?”

“Really, it was all fake. Your clothes were removed by my subordinates; nothing happened between us.”

Ye Chen, confused, asked, “Why do that?”

Ouyang Yue asked, “You’re not going to hit me, are you?”

“Explain yourself, give me a reason not to hit you.” Ye Chen had been in a quandary lately, wondering every day what to do, thinking he was becoming irresponsible, on the verge of going mad, and then there was causing an innocent girl to become a widow, not to mention Shao Hengjiang, which gave him a headache. He said, “You’re not doing this out of some liking for me, trying to create a fait accompli to tie me down?”

Ouyang Yue pouted and said, “What do you think you are? Are you really that desirable? Moreover, not bathing for several days, one could smell a reek from miles away.”

“Hey, it’s not like you say!” The two no longer stood so close to each other. “Then why did you do it?”

“It was all because of you. At that time, I didn’t know how else to convince you to stop drinking; you never listened, and I thought if something happened between us, you’d feel responsible and start to live properly, instead of persisting in your destructive ways. The facts told me that you’d stopped living a drunken, dreamy life.”

“Really, it was for that, not to tie me down?”

“Nonsense, you have treasures on you.” Ouyang Yue continued, “You’ve stopped drinking now, and you’re getting better, so I might as well tell you the truth. I was planning to keep up the act a while longer.”

“You wanted to keep playing, not tell me?”

“Of course, why would I tell you so quickly? I had to keep it up until my father returned. But seeing the girl behind us looking very unhappy, I’m afraid she might push me into the river later, so I might as well tell her the truth.”

Ye Chen immediately understood why she told him the truth; how could she be so mischievous, to have deceived him for so many days, treating him like a monkey? During that time, he had been incessantly troubled.
