Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 980 - 980 966 Choice

Chapter 980: Chapter 966: Choice Chapter 980: Chapter 966: Choice “Damn, lucky we found out early, or it would’ve attracted unnecessary trouble.” Li Mo hadn’t expected Wan Shajiang to have people tail him.

Ye Chen carried the unconscious Shi Xueqin on his back.

“Sect Leader, let me do it.”

“Such a good deed, how can I let you do it?” Ye Chen said in a joking tone, and continued, “Grab the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus quickly, and don’t lose it, or I’ll make you pay with your life.”

Li Mo hugged the wooden box and lit another torch to lead the way up the mountain.

On the small hillside, Guo Yuqing looked up at the sky. She was at Divine Doctor Zhu’s place, while Guo Yuyun was still lying down, and Wan Danrong had already gone to bathe in the lake.

She was waiting for news from Ye Chen, feeling very anxious inside. She worried something might happen to Ye Chen. Going to Sky Mountain to find the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus was an extremely dangerous endeavor in itself. Encountering a snow monster or an avalanche could mean never returning.

She was praying.

Her secret affection also surfaced. If it weren’t for their encounter in Bell and Drum City, she wouldn’t have known that he was in love with her. She couldn’t believe this was real, but it indeed was.

How could she truly let him go? The buried sweetness in her heart suddenly gushed out like spring water. The most memorable moments for her were the times spent with him. If only they hadn’t married, everything would still be in the past.

But it was like she had slept for a long time and suddenly woken up, finding a feeling she had not experienced in a while. Was this what a first love feels like?

But she no longer considered herself worthy of him.

Suddenly, the quietness of the hillside was broken by a commotion from Divine Doctor Zhu’s courtyard. She quickly stood up.

Ye Chen burst into the courtyard carrying the unconscious Shi Xueqin, his foot kicking open the gate, as he ran straight toward Divine Doctor Zhu’s room, shouting, “Old man, you better come and take a look.”

Yang Tao’er, who was eating roast Sweet Potato, jumped in shock. This guy went to Sky Mountain to look for the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus, so how come he returned carrying a girl? He really is a lucky fellow, being able to bring a girl back from Sky Mountain. What else can be said about him?

Divine Doctor Zhu took Shi Xueqin’s pulse.

Ye Chen grabbed a cup and gulped down three cups of water before finally relaxing and asking, “Divine Doctor, how is she? Is she okay?”

Yang Tao’er slapped him on the back and shouted, “You went to Sky Mountain, and you didn’t forget to pick up a girl?”

Ye Chen, out of breath, was at a loss for words for a moment.

Then he heard Divine Doctor Zhu say, “She’s very weak. She’s pregnant.”

Yang Tao’er’s eyes bulged like juicy peaches as she looked at Ye Chen and shouted, “You went to Sky Mountain to find the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus, or to find a girl? And she’s pregnant?”

“It’s not mine, what are you talking about?” Ye Chen hurriedly asked, “She’s not in any life-threatening danger, is she?”

“No.”

“And the child?”

“The child is fine too, just very weak.”

Ye Chen quickly let Li Mo inside to help Divine Doctor Zhu and took over the wooden box.

Yang Tao’er refused to believe it and shouted, “Shouldn’t you explain yourself?”

“Explain what? It’s really not mine. We met her at the city gate where she was being harassed by the Qingxuan Sect members, and we saved her,” Ye Chen said as he came to the courtyard, smelling the roasted Sweet Potato, setting down the box on the table and starting to eat.

“Don’t look at me like you’re my wife, that will make me misunderstand.”

“So you got her pregnant, just over a dozen days and she’s pregnant because of you.”

“Nonsense, you can tell the child in just over a dozen days? She’s from the Longhun, and at the city gate she was being bullied. It was Li Mo who saved her; she once asked Longhun to save Wan Danrong.” Ye Chen chewed on the Sweet Potato.

“A person from Longhun.”

As they spoke, Guo Yuqing came in, and at that moment, her joy was indescribable. During these dozen days, she had struggled to sleep, praying constantly, relieved that he had returned.

“And the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus?” asked Yang Tao’er.

Ye Chen pushed the box towards her and said, “I almost didn’t make it back.” He nearly got buried alive in that avalanche.

Seeing Guo Yuqing walk in, the gazes of the two met in that moment, sparking like electricity, exchanging brief smiles before quickly looking away, both filled with a kind of shy awkwardness.

It was as if they both harbored feelings within their hearts.

Of course, Ye Chen had also been informed by Li Mo that in Bell and Drum City, he didn’t continue to lose his mind because of Guo Yuqing; otherwise, no one would have been able to calm him.

It was the person he cared most about in his heart, right in front of him, naturally making him feel quite embarrassed, as if his secret was exposed.

“Impressive indeed,” Yang Tao’er patted him, noting that without the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus, Yun’er would have had no chance of recovery.

“I didn’t waste any time, did I?” Ye Chen’s gaze shifted away from Guo Yuqing.

Guo Yuqing suddenly became much more polite, almost like a guest.

Ye Chen then asked, “With the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus, how long before Yun’er wakes up?”

“I’m not sure, considering she’s been unconscious for so many days. It’ll take at least three or four days.” Yang Tao’er made room for Guo Yuqing, who sat down.

“It doesn’t matter, as long as it can save her.” Ye Chen said as he stood up, munching on a sweet potato: “I haven’t bathed in more than ten days, I need to go to the lake and dive in.” It seemed that in Guo Yuqing’s presence, he didn’t know what to say anymore.

“Go ahead, Wan Danrong is waiting in the lake for you to play like mandarin ducks in the water.”

Then, from a distance, came a voice: “Who’s going to play like mandarin ducks in the water with me?”

It was Wan Danrong herself. Wan Danrong’s hair was let down, fluttering in the wind.

Ye Chen went to Guo Yuyun’s room. He hadn’t seen Yun’er for half a month – the child who seemed to be sleeping, always so quiet, lying there as if she could never get enough sleep.

In an instant, Ye Chen thought a lot. This time it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. He quietly made a decision. Wan Danrong burst in, shouting, “Monkey, you’re back.”

With gleaming eyes, Ye Chen turned around and smiled, “Did you miss me?”

“Why would I miss you?” She noticed tearfulness in Ye Chen’s eyes.

Ye Chen quickly stepped outside the house.

Li Mo followed Divine Doctor Zhu out to the doorway, where Divine Doctor Zhu commanded, “Tao’er, hurry up and prepare the medicine for the young lady, don’t make a mistake, otherwise it might harm the fetus.”

Wan Danrong was taken aback, “What fetus? Who’s pregnant?”

Ye Chen turned around and said, “My wife.” Holding his clothes, he walked out of the courtyard.

Wan Danrong ran into another room, saw the Wan Danrong lying on the bed, then came out and asked, “How is Shi Xueqin here?”

Ye Chen was already gone from the entrance.

Li Mo quickly provided an explanation.

All went quiet; everything was still. It was a pitch-dark lake, perfectly suiting the moment.

Ye Chen called out, “Red Demonic Spirit, you should come out now.” He shed his clothes and plunged into the water, spitting out a mouthful to wash his face and freshen up.

The Red Demonic Spirit clung to a willow behind her.

“We need to go find the Sacred Spirit Sect.”

The Red Demonic Spirit looked over. The Sacred Spirit Sect was a faction that Divine Doctor Zhu had casually mentioned, claiming the Sacred Spirit Stone possessed Pangu’s power and could destroy the Wolf King’s Ring, though whether this was true or not was uncertain.

“You’re looking for the Sacred Spirit Stone?”

“What else can I do now, besides sitting around waiting to die?”

“But,” replied the Red Demonic Spirit, “Divine Doctor Zhu didn’t guarantee that the Sacred Spirit Stone would save you. Besides, the Sacred Spirit Stone is guarded by the Sacred Spirit Sect who don’t easily show it to outsiders; they may not be willing to help you.”

Ye Chen understood the Red Demonic Spirit’s point but said, “You’re not wrong, but we still have to try and figure something out. Don’t you want to return to your true form as well? I see it as an opportunity.”

He recalled the Red Demonic Spirit mentioning that Pangu’s power was needed for her to regain her body. The Sacred Spirit Stone possessed that power. If he couldn’t save himself in the end, helping the Red Demonic Spirit regain her body would be a happy event.

The Red Demonic Spirit was genuinely touched and looked over. How could she not long to regain her body? It was her fervent dream.

“Haven’t gotten over it yet?”

“You also have to wait for Guo Yuyun to wake up before you can leave,” the spirit reminded.

Ye Chen shook his head, “No.” Ever since he had realized that Guo Yuyun might never wake up, he had thought about many things. He didn’t know what awaited his fate and didn’t want to bring such misfortune to those around him. Bell and Drum City had been fortunate, but would he be so lucky next time?

“What do you mean? Are you planning to leave Guo Yuyun without saying goodbye?” The Red Demonic Spirit could sense Ye Chen’s unresolved feelings because it was Guo Yuqing who had previously stabilized him, meaning his true love wasn’t Guo Yuyun.

“I don’t know what awaits me next. I don’t want something like this to happen again.”

“Is it because you don’t know how to face the two sisters?”

Ye Chen was silent for a while before replying, “You’re half right.”

“You know if Yu Yun wakes up, she will definitely go everywhere searching for you. She won’t give up on you.”

Ye Chen threw out, “Tell her I’m dead.”

“What? Say you’re dead? Are you joking?”

Ye Chen could only feel sorry for her. Perhaps he really did have a hang-up and said, “No joke. Just say I died on Kunlun Mountain, buried alive by a landslide.”

“Why would you do that?”

“I can’t guarantee I will be able to rid myself of the magic power. Moreover, everyone in the realm of immortals and demons is searching for me, putting me on their wanted lists. If this news spreads, I might get a brief respite.”

“But…” The Red Demonic Spirit felt they should face the difficulties together, but she found herself at a loss for words.

“I don’t want such things to happen again.”

“What if you manage to dispel the ring’s magic power one day?”

“I don’t want to think so far ahead, but I know I’m in danger.” Ye Chen performed another carp flip out of the water.
