Chapter 1428 - 1428 1414 Longing With Bated Breath

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1414: Longing With Bated Breath Chapter 1428: Chapter 1414: Longing With Bated Breath Qing’er leaned on her cane like an old grandmother, her face etched with worry. She looked left and right, as if trying to find a trace of the Demon Domain and the thirty-six islands in this way.

Ye Chen was afraid she would fall over. The sky had turned completely dark by now, and it had been dark for quite some time.

“Stop looking, we’ll find them when it gets light tomorrow,” Ye Chen said.

She, of course, knew that it was unlikely for anything to have gone wrong so quickly, but the sooner the Demon Domain was aware of the situation and prepared in advance, the better.

“I’ll go get some food, you stay here,” Ye Chen said, catching his breath halfway through.

It took over two hours to prepare the food. Qing’er knew that getting anxious was pointless, so she eventually calmed down as well.

“Eat something first. We will set out early tomorrow morning and will definitely find them as quickly as possible,” Ye Chen spoke.

Qing’er did not speak.

“What’s the matter, you really think I am deliberately not finding them?”

“I have reasons to suspect.”

“Then what would I gain from it?” Ye Chen asked.

“Who knows what you’re thinking,” Qing’er said.

“Then you really don’t understand me at all. Even if I am unreliable, I wouldn’t mess around,” Ye Chen said as he dissected the roasted chicken on a banana leaf. “Hurry up and eat, then get some sleep early. If you want to wash, there’s a pond ahead where I can stand guard for you.”

“You stand guard? I wouldn’t trust you,” she replied.

“Really? Is your impression of me that bad?”

“Extremely bad, and it will never change.”

Ye Chen laughed, knowing she was angry, and he showed understanding. He truly took a long route that day, having circled around in the forest. He thought he’d found a shortcut to save time, but it turned out to be a dead end. After encountering the fast-flowing river, they had to turn back, which caused the delay.

“Have some food. I promise we’ll catch up with them quickly tomorrow,” Ye Chen said.

Qing’er began to eat ravenously.

“By the way, you were captured by Meng Xiuluo, and then Meng Xiuluo went to rescue Longhun. After Longhun was freed, Su Zhanze targeted Meng Xiuluo’s ship, knowing you were on board, and still chose to attack and sink it, right?”

Ye Chen recalled for a moment, then smiled and said, “Oh, you know about that too? Indeed, that happened. Maybe he wouldn’t have attacked them if he didn’t know I was on the ship, but the fact he did know changes things. I can understand why.”

“What do you mean? Are you saying that I provoked Su Zhanze, and Su Zhanze sought to put you to death?” She asked, pretending not to know.

“I don’t know,” Ye Chen replied, gnawing on a chicken leg, genuinely hungry after carrying someone around the mountains all day. Just the physical exertion was tiring enough, let alone the added burden, and his stomach had been growling several times.

Yun’er thoughtfully wanted to ask him why he did that, but it seemed there was no need. Having spent time with Su Zhanze, she knew the kind of person he was; how could she refuse to get back together with him otherwise?

Hurriedly, Ye Chen said, “Hey, this has nothing to do with you. Maybe he thinks that since I defeated him on Paper Kite Island and humiliated him, that’s why he did what he did. You see, I’m fine now, and your sister is fine too.”

Although Ye Chen said this, Qing’er still felt some responsibility. Surely, it was her provocation that led Su Zhanze to believe everything went wrong because of him, which is why he took such action.

“Don’t let this affect you. Decide based on what you think. It’s not about you.”

Yu Yun stood on the mountaintop, her eyes longing to see their return. Yet it was already midnight, and they still hadn’t appeared, which couldn’t help but cause her to worry if something unexpected had happened.

Yang Tao’er approached, having spotted Yun’er from below. Yun’er had been in low spirits all day, obviously worried about Ye Chen and her sister. “Don’t worry,” she chuckled, “that monkey doesn’t have the guts to elope with your sister. Your sister is such a rational person; she would never do something as crazy as running off with a monkey.”

Yun’er knew Yang Tao’er was joking. Turning around, she found Yang Tao’er sitting next to her, offering her some food.

“You haven’t eaten much tonight, either. Have something to eat and get a good night’s sleep. I believe they will show up tomorrow,” Yang Tao’er added.

“They haven’t been captured, right?” Yun’er asked listlessly, taking the food.

“They shouldn’t have been. Longhun doesn’t know he has returned, and only the Demon Clan’s people are in the forest. It’s difficult for the members of the Demon Clan to capture Ye Chen, who can summon magical power. Haven’t you seen it yourself? They won’t be able to catch Ye Chen, who can turn into the Wolf King at any moment. Don’t worry about it,” she explained.

Yun’er had no choice but to think the same way.

“It’s crucial; Ye Chen won’t let himself get into trouble. There might have been some minor accidents, but I believe he will catch up quickly. Stop overthinking,” she reassured.

After taking a sip of water, Yun’er casually asked, “Did you treat Su Zhanze?”

Yang Tao’er seemed reluctant as she replied, “I had no choice. After promising that monkey, I had to treat him.” She had spent the evening giving him acupuncture, and only now did she have a bit of time to eat.

“So his condition isn’t too serious then?”

“Hehe, it’s not serious, but he will need some time to recover his powers,” she commented.

“How long will it take?”

“Hard to say, at least over half a month, but if there’s an urgent need, there could be another way, in case of an emergency.”

“What do you mean ‘another way’?”

“Of course, it’s like taking medicine, suddenly stimulating oneself to the point of being fired up.”

“Fired up, what does that mean?”

“It means using acupuncture techniques to force out your power, making yourself perform at an extraordinary level, achieving what seems impossible. But it does hurt, and occasionally using it is fine. However, if it goes wrong, there could be long-term damage, or even risk going mad with energy. But personally, I’m quite willing to take that risk.”

“You hope he goes mad with energy?”

“I am not that cruel, but I really don’t want to hang around with that guy. You know I have no good feelings toward him. The thought of giving him acupuncture for half a month is insufferable.” Ever since learning about the things Su Zhanze had done, this reluctance had taken root.

“What’s the method then?”

“Use acupuncture to squeeze out his energy, but it can only be used once or twice. Any more than that is definitely asking for trouble. But it’s worth considering. Ye Chen said what he wants is to defeat Longhun, and I really don’t have the time to babysit him.”

“You’re not going to give him some poison, are you?” Yun’er asked curiously.

“Do you really want me to do that? Right, that guy almost drowned you in the sea, it’s only natural for you to hate him.”

“I don’t have that much spare energy to hate him. All I’m thinking about now is hoping Ye Chen comes back soon and finds a way to defeat Longhun and destroy the Dragon Slaying Clan. If it weren’t for the fact that he could help Ye Chen, I wouldn’t want anything to do with him.”

“Yeah, I was also persuaded by that monkey, that’s why I agreed to give him acupuncture. But I’m really worried that, after he gets better, he’ll want to kill you guys again.”

“No way.”

“Why not? He thinks that monkey stole his woman’s heart, which is an unforgivable sin.”

“Don’t scare me.”

“So, should I do something to him while I work on him?”

“You wouldn’t be that bad, right?”

“I’m the one who knows his condition the best now, all one hundred and eight meridians. After these past two days, I understand the severity of it. He even managed to attract both the Dark Beast and the Fire Mastiff to himself.”

“What, he attracted the Fire Mastiff and the Dark Beast to himself?”

“Yes, he’s practically a madman.”

“Isn’t he worried about losing control and going mad with energy?”

“Who knows? Maybe he really wants to defeat Longhun, but it’s incredibly reckless.”

“So there’s a chance he might go mad with energy?”

“If you want him to go mad with energy, I can help,” said Yang Tao’er.

“I didn’t think you were so wicked,” Guo Yuyun said.

“If you want revenge, just say the word, I can make it happen.”

“You really are utterly ruthless,” Guo Yuyun said, incredulous at the words he was hearing.

Yang Tao’er, however, said, “I’m just a bit worried that after defeating Longhun, Su Zhanze will become a major demon lord. They went to the Thirty-Six Islands for the Sacred Spirit Stone. What does he want with it? Have you ever considered that he might want to control the realm of immortals and demons?”

Guo Yuyun hesitated for a moment after hearing her words, and said, “Although I don’t know what Su Zhanze wants with the Sacred Spirit Stone from Sacred Spirit Island, I have never thought he would have such great ambition. He shouldn’t be aiming that high.”

“Heh, people change. Who doesn’t want to control everything? He wants to have it all, including winning over your sister. Who could refuse him, and who would dare to oppose him?”

Guo Yuyun looked at Yang Tao’er, deep in thought.

“You all think too highly of others. Not everyone is as straightforward as that monkey,” said Yang Tao’er.

“Let’s focus on finding a way to cure him first.”

“Maybe my words have scared you, making me seem rather sinister. But honestly, I could never do what I said, to harm others. Despite not liking him, as a healer, if I can’t save someone then that’s that, but I cannot harm someone else. That’s what my godfather taught me.”

After Yang Tao’er’s remarks, Yun’er slowly emerged from her gloom and said, “Enough talk, let’s rest. It looks like they won’t be coming back tonight.”

“Exactly, I told you so. But you insisted on standing on the mountaintop with eager eyes.”

“I was not looking with eager eyes,” Guo Yuyun stood up, ready to leave.
