Chapter 694 - 694 680 Breaking the Deadlock

Chapter 694: Chapter 680: Breaking the Deadlock Chapter 694: Chapter 680: Breaking the Deadlock It was dark, and Ghost City truly seemed as though it was haunted.

Shi Mu really wanted to gift Chun’er to Ye Chen, but upon seeing Yun’er’s expression, Ye Chen quickly and politely declined.

Several days passed like this.

News came from the Central Plains saying that Longhun was repelled by a joint force from Immortal City, Demon Palace, and the Xuan Clan.

Only then could Ye Chen and his group finally catch their breath.

But he felt things couldn’t be this simple. Although Longhun was driven back, whether they would give up or not, he didn’t know, but according to his understanding of Longhun, they wouldn’t give up easily. However, at this point, thinking about other things was futile. He couldn’t help the Demon Domain, he was already having a headache dealing with the Wastelands, so how could he find the energy to worry about the Demon Domain?

What was most important now was to figure out how to deal with Sky Domain City and Gui Lang and his followers.

If he wanted to help the Demon Domain, he must first conquer the Wastelands, only then would he be free to help the Demon Domain.

Even though the present situation wasn’t as dire as before, he was not assured of victory. Just a failure or two could potentially lead him back to square one, and he didn’t want to undergo such hardship again.

He needed to figure out what should be the best course of action.

Guo Yuyun brought in a fragrant roast chicken and upon seeing his dazed expression, commented, “Regretting it now, aren’t you?”

Ye Chen glanced over and responded, “Of course, why was I so stupid? I feel like hammering myself to death!”

“It’s not too late to change your mind now.”, Yun’er obviously referred to Chun’er.

“Really? Then let me consider it.”

“What’s there to consider? If you don’t act soon, Shi Mu is preparing for their wedding night.”

“What? Quick, someone stop this.” Ye Chen seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, no longer lost in thought.

Yun’er’s eyes, round like fish, glared at him.

Ye Chen found it all highly amusing, slapping his stomach, saying, “I’m starving. The food came just in time.”

“All men are the same,” Guo Yuyun huffed.

“Really?” Ye Chen tore off a chicken leg and poured himself a cup of warm tea.

“You clearly are not a good person.”

“If that’s the case, why are you still following me around enthusiastically? Is it masochistic!”

A fist landed heavily, Ye Chen nimbly dodged and the punch hit the stone table, causing her to yelp in pain.

“Oh, why go through the trouble!” Ye Chen turned his gaze to the bright moon again.

“That Shi Mu guy is over the moon. He’d probably even call you ‘Daddy’ out of joy,” Guo Yuyun blurted out.

“But he’s older than me.”

“His ancestors must be dancing in their graves with joy.” Guo Yuyun also heard about what happened in Demon Valley, “Do you really plan to do nothing all day, just gaze at the moon at night?”

“Well, what can I do right now? At least for now, I can relax a bit.”

“Find a way to deal with Yuan Menhai and his group.”

“I’ve thought of it. I asked you to act as Xi Shi but you were unwilling! What else can I do? You think I’m not anxious. If he liked men, I’d probably go myself!” Ye Chen said this on purpose.

“Go then, see if he will mince you to feed his dog.”

“Ah, I’m also having a headache with this situation. I’m on the verge of going mad from stress, but you don’t even share my burden a bit. Overusing my brain, I will breakdown sooner or later.”

“I think you’re too energetic, letting your imagination run wild all day, thinking about Chun’er and Hong Ying.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Having a headache indeed.”

“Do you think the Dragon Slaying Clan will return to Dragon Slayer Island?” Guo Yuyun asked while eating the roast chicken.

“I don’t know. I guess the people from the Demon Domain probably don’t want them to go back.”

“Leaving such a malaise in the world, who knows what kind of chaos they’ll stir up,” She obviously heard that Longhun almost succeeded. If not for the Xuan Clan using a fake tomb to buy overnight time, the Seal would probably have been broken.

Ye Chen ate his roast chicken in silence.

“Your brother seems smarter than you.”

“I never thought about it, nor do I want to compare.” When Ye Chen thought of Longhun, he was reminded of the deceased Ling’er. Even though she had been dead for several months, he still dreamed of her. Though not as frequently as before.

“You hate him, right?”

Ye Chen contemplated again and felt justified. Longhun was taking revenge on behalf of the Mutant Winged Dragon and the Dragon Slaying Clan, which seemed reasonable. He said, “I don’t know. I killed many of the Dragon Slaying Clan, for him to want to seek revenge on their behalf seems fitting.”

He did not mention the Mutant Winged Dragon. Guo Yuyun said, “But he wants to release the Raging Wolf Clan.”

“And then what?”

“I know, even though you have a complicated relationship, after all, you’re both born of the same mother.”

“But there are no feelings left.”

“If the RAGing Wolf Clan is released, there will be great chaos in the world.”

“I’m only capable of so much, my abilities are extremely limited.”

“You need to hasten in settling things here, then go back to the Central Plains to help the Demon Domain.” Yun’er thought for a while and felt that the folks in the Demon Domain were probably no match for Longhun.

“Based on what? Why should I fight a life-or-death battle with my father for you in the Demon Domain, and then another one with my own brother?”

“It’s to avenge….”

“I’m tired, I don’t want to seek revenge anymore.”

“You say that, but I know you harbor justice in your heart.”

“Damn the justice, how much is it worth.”

“If Ling’er knew you thought this way, she would be very upset.”

Ye Chen was speechless.

At that moment, Li Mo came in from outside, bringing someone with him. It was Wan Danrong, who bounded in excitedly.

“Rong’er, you’re here!” Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.

“Did you miss me?”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “I did miss you. I think about you every day, so much so that I’m salivating.”

“Really! Don’t joke with me.” Wan Danrong looked at Guo Yuyun.

“He’s already started thinking about Chun’er.” Yun’er said.

“Who’s Chun’er?” Rong’er asked.

“A woman who likes to wear thin clothes. She has a waist like a willow.”

Ye Chen chuckled again.

“With you watching, how dare he do anything!” Rong’er knew Yun’er’s tiger-like personality, only she could keep Ye Chen in check.

“What am I, a bird!?”

Li Mo said, “I’ll get you some food. Rong’er hasn’t had dinner yet.”

“Hurry up then.” Ye Chen called out.

“I was afraid you all forgot about me.” After gulping down two cups of tea, Rong’er’s throat felt less dry.

“How dare we? We wouldn’t dare forget you.” Yun’er said.

“I was worried I’d come and cause trouble again.”

Ghost City has been basically controlled by Shi Mu and his people. They have settled the situation inside the city, and now the most critical thing is to figure out a way to deal with Yuan Menhai and Gui Lang. This is most important.

Ye Chen had an idea, although he wasn’t sure whether it was feasible or not, he decided to bring it up. He couldn’t just sit here doing nothing and wait until things got out of control in the Central Plains.

After some time, he had thoroughly analyzed Gui Lang and Yuan Menhai.

He decided to take action against Gui Lang.

Li Mo brought in the food.

Ye Chen said, “Tell Shi Mu, we’ll come together tomorrow noon to discuss how to deal with Gui Lang.”

Guo Yuyun looked over and asked, “What? Deal with Gui Lang? Shouldn’t we deal with Yuan Menhai?”

“Who told you I was going to deal with Yuan Menhai?” Ye Chen had been pondering for several days and came to a conclusion: dealing with Yuan Menhai meant dealing with Gui Lang as well, otherwise, there would be serious consequences. He strongly believed this.

“Gui Lang? But we came here to deal with Gui Lang! Yet Yuan Menhai is our greatest enemy.” Yun’er said, it was clear to everyone.

“Then can you be sure that while we’re dealing with Yuan Menhai, Gui Lang won’t cause trouble?”

Caught off guard, Yun’er responded, “Of course, I can’t guarantee that.” She too knew Gui Lang was a sneaky character who wasn’t afraid to cause conflict with the No. One Heroes now that he had taken Bishui City.

Ye Chen looked at Li Mo and said, “I don’t know if it’s feasible. Let’s all come together and see if we can work it out.” He had a plan in mind.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo left the room.

We can’t waste any more time. We needed to do something.

“If you plan to deal with Gui Lang, won’t that force him to side with Yuan Menhai? While Gui Lang and Yuan Menhai may be enemies, shared interests can turn enemies into friends. If we go along with this, they may end up standing together.” Yun’er voiced her concern.

Rong’er also chimed in,” Yeah, if they stand together, they’ll be even harder to deal with.”

“Even Rong’er thinks so, don’t you see this!”

“So, are you telling me we should just sit idle and wait for things in the Wastelands to settle down?” Ye Chen retorted.

“Of course, we hope to get things sorted out as soon as possible.”

“Alright, just leave it. We’ll talk about it after the meeting tomorrow.” Somebody had to break the deadlock. He couldn’t just sit here any longer. He feared that more trouble would arise. Now, every single moment was precious, and he definitely had to do something.

“Why are you thinking of dealing with Gui Lang?”

“Not just dealing with Gui Lang. I want to disorient him.” At this point, Gui Lang was uncertain whether Shi Mu’s people were linked to the New City Sect. It was just a guess.

This might be an opportunity.

Yun’er knew that the situation was somewhat complex now and asked, “Can you tell me about your plan?”

“I haven’t completely figured it out yet.”

“You scoundrel! Let me know, and I might help you analyze it.”

“Then, can you analyze for me whether I should really give up on Chun’er, would I regret it?”

“You rascal, knew you were not a decent one.”

Ye Chen stood up and said, “I never claimed to be a decent one.”

“Aren’t you eating anymore?” Rong’er asked.

Ye Chen said, “I’ve already eaten roast chicken. You guys eat slowly. I’ve got a splitting headache. If I don’t get some rest, I’ll go mad.” and began walking toward his room.

Yun’er however, had no idea what he was thinking about.

Rong’er looked at Yun’er and asked, “Yun’er, has there been any progress between you two in this period?”

“Indeed, we’ll be married soon.” Yun’er deliberately lied.

“Unlikely.”

“You’re just afraid I’ll steal him away, so you rushed over, right?”

“Not at all.”
