Chapter 987 - 987 973 The Monkey Is Not Dead

Chapter 987: Chapter 973: The Monkey Is Not Dead Chapter 987: Chapter 973: The Monkey Is Not Dead Zun Yu attacked, but Ye Chen managed to defend and steady his stance. Seizing the moment while Teng Yun’e was still figuring out his position, Ye Chen struck twice in quick succession, sending Zun Yu, who was hanging mid-air, crashing back to the ground, his hand gripping the sword throbbing with pain.

Teng Yun’e was very unwilling to back down and wanted to charge forward, but Zun Yu held him back. This young man was no ordinary person; he must be the Sect Leader of the New City Sect. But wasn’t the Sect Leader of the New City Sect already dead?

How was this possible? He calmed down slightly and saw that Ling Bo, along with a group of New City Sect disciples, had already approached. The sky was soon going to brighten, signaling that their plan to encircle would have to be abandoned. He shouted, “We’re pulling out.”

Ye Chen’s timely arrival was already incredibly fortunate. Had he been any later, he feared these girls would have suffered greatly.

Xuan Si shouted, “Don’t let those bastards escape!” She wanted to pursue them, but after a wave of monsters, the people of the Third Demon had vanished into the hazy forest.

And their whereabouts became unknown again.

Xuan Si hurried back and saw Ling Bo and Li Mo, but Ye Chen was nowhere to be seen. She exclaimed, “Where’s that monkey?”

Li Mo feigned ignorance, responding with a question of his own, “What monkey?”

“Stop pretending. The masked person just now, your Sect Leader.”

“Our Sect Leader died on Sky Mountain long ago; don’t you know?”

“Impossible, that was clearly the monkey just now.” Xuan Si looked around.

Li Mo, however, said coldly, “You’re mistaken. We don’t recognize the person from before, we don’t know who he is.”

Xuan Si glared at Li Mo, unwilling to believe him. Li Mo added, “Really, we truly don’t know the person from before, nor do we know who he is.”

Li Mo turned and walked away.

Xuan Si searched around and asked the other sisters, who all shook their heads and said he had left.

Feeling dejected, she returned, only to find that Li Mo had also disappeared. She saw Ling Bo and asked him, and his answer was the same as Li Mo’s. How could she believe that? It clearly was the monkey. She felt increasingly bewildered as if she had been dreaming.

Ling Bo said, “Girl, it’s good that you’re not hurt.”

“Was I really dreaming?” She was convinced it wasn’t a dream; she recognized the moves he used, but why wouldn’t he show himself?

“No, you weren’t dreaming.”

“Senior Ling, stop fooling me. That was definitely Ye Chen just now. Why does everyone say he’s dead?”

Ling Bo wasn’t good at acting. He glanced around and asked, “Is it so important?”

Feeling there was more to his words, she pressed, “Just now, it really was your Sect Leader, wasn’t it?” Her face broke into a joyous smile.

“Don’t flaunt your knowledge here. If word gets out, they’ll come looking for him again.”

After looking carefully to her left and right, Xuan Si nodded slightly and asked, “Can I see him then?”

“Later.”

Only then did Xuan Si calm down.

Among the 108 islands of the East Sea and the 36 island lords of the South Sea, the largest in the East Sea is Dragon Slayer Island, while the largest in the South Sea is the Sacred Spirit Sect, which is located on Sacred Spirit Island. The leader of the Sacred Spirit Sect also holds the title of Island Master of Sacred Spirit Island.

To find Sacred Spirit Island, one needs to seek out the elusive Cang Jianglong. He is a mysterious figure, but he has a confidante named Ling Qianxiu, a woman from the brothel.

Ye Chen gazed down the streets, pondering his next steps.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, demanding, “Monkey, stop hiding. Open up or I’m breaking down the door!” The door shook from the knocking.

How could that voice be so familiar? Wasn’t it Xuan Si’s voice? How did she know he was in this room?

Ye Chen had just opened the door when Xuan Si burst in, exclaiming, “You really are alive; that’s wonderful!”

“How did you know I was here?” Ye Chen looked cautiously down the stairs.

Xuan Si laughed, “Ling Bo told me. You can’t fool me; it’s too hard.”

Ye Chen walked over to the window.

Xuan Si smiled brightly, “You really scared me to death. I thought you were gone for good.”

“I’m invincible; how could I possibly be dead?”

“I didn’t want to believe it at the time,” Xuan Si said excitedly.

“You must have been crying your eyes out, thinking of becoming a nun, right?” Ye Chen leaned back against the pillow, taking out the book “Acupuncture Essence” given to him by Yang Tao’s son to read.

“Nonsense, how could I ever become a nun? That would be Guo Yuyun,” she blurted, then her thoughts immediately turned to Guo Yuyun, asking, “By the way, how is Guo Yuyun?” She had heard about the incident in Bell and Drum City.

“She’s on Dragonfly Mountain, she should be safe by now and will wake up soon.”

Xuan Si felt surprised and asked, “You’re not taking the girl with you?”

“Taking the girl with me would have made meeting you impossible, wouldn’t that be regrettable,” Ye Chen joked.

Xuan Si pursed her lips and said coldly, “As if you would seek a meeting with me. With Guo Yuyun around, you can’t even handle her.”

“You’re hoping I would seek you out for a meeting, aren’t you?”

“Right, I heard that in Bell and Drum City, it was Guo Yuqing who calmed you down, is that true?” She grew curious.

“You really are nosy,” Ye Chen said coldly.

Xuan Si grew even more curious and said, “So, deep down in your heart, the one you love most is Guo Yuqing.”

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes but didn’t speak.

“Wow, this story just got interesting.”

“What’s so interesting about it? Are you excited or something?” Ye Chen was somewhat exasperated by her attitude, seemingly wishing for more chaos in the world.

“What are you planning to do? One sister, then the other; this love affair is somewhat twisted. I think it’s even more melodramatic than a soap opera.” Xuan Si was peeling an orange, and the strong scent of orange peel filled the room. She muttered, “So what are you going to do, marry the sister first or the younger one?” She had intended to make a joke out of it.

Worried that the girl might meet Xuan Si and let slip that he was still alive, Ye Chen hurriedly said, “Right, remember this, I’m dead. If you happen to encounter Yun’er, don’t tell her I’m alive.”

Upon hearing this, Xuan Si felt surprised and asked, “What do you mean? You don’t want Yun’er to know you’re alive?”

“Right.”

“What exactly do you mean?” Xuan Si asked, puzzled.

If he doesn’t give her a reason, she will definitely keep probing. He said, “It means nothing, just that I’m dead.”

After listening, Xuan Si turned back and asked, “Don’t you know how to face Yun’er? It’s nothing, all that is in the past.”

Ye Chen knew his own condition. The diagnosis given by Divine Doctor Zhu was that if a way to remove the magic power wasn’t found, the magic power within him would deteriorate step by step, becoming harder to escape. In a year, or perhaps half, he would lose control, saying, “I don’t want a repeat of what happened in Bell and Drum City.”

Xuan Si thought it over and said, “You don’t want Yun’er in danger, so you’re saying goodbye to your feelings for her?” It seemed clear that this was the case. She murmured again, “You’ve spread the news of your death on Sky Mountain not just to deceive the inhabitants of the Immortal and Demon Domains but to deceive Yun’er too, right?” That must be it.

Ye Chen simply threw out coldly, “Just remember, if you really do get a chance to see Yun’er, don’t tell her I’m still alive.”

Xuan Si immediately realized the gravity of the situation and became concerned for him, asking, “Right, your magic power, it can’t be removed?” Obviously, it was a rhetorical question—if there really was a way to remove it, why would he hide it from Guo Yuyun?

Ye Chen remained silent.

“No way, it can’t be. The world is so vast, there must be even greater divine doctors out there,” Xuan Si suddenly became worried for him.

“Hey, don’t worry about it. Maybe Lady Luck will smile on me and I won’t die. You won’t have to become a nun for me,” he replied.

“Stop joking, I’m serious here.” Xuan Si became anxious. If something were to happen to Ye Chen, how could she bear it? She knew it was impossible between them but still wished for him to always be well.

Ye Chen once again focused intently on his book.

“Hey, we could search to the ends of the Earth for a cure.”

“This matter doesn’t need your concern; I still want to live a long life.” Ye Chen suddenly changed the topic, asking, “That boy has been good to you, how are things developing between the two of you?”

He was, of course, referring to Xuan Hong. Xuan Si snorted in response.

At this moment, Xuan Si was hardly in the mood to talk about such things, saying, “Please, don’t give up on yourself yet. It’s not that bad.”

“Of course, how could I possibly give up on myself? I have to leave at least ten or eight pregnant women behind for our family before I die; otherwise, how could I face my mother then?”

Xuan Si smiled coldly, but how could her heart not be worried? If there really was a way, why would he deceive Yun’er by claiming he was dead? After pondering for a while, she said, “I think Yun’er will surely cry herself to death.”

“Everything passes eventually.” Ye Chen then suddenly asked, “Don’t go chasing after that gang of fugitives anymore. Haven’t you learned your lesson from Kunlun Mountain? If it hadn’t been for me, you really could have been snatched away by that big guy to become his wife.”

Xuan Si glared at Ye Chen.

“What I’m saying is true. It’s better for a girl to find a good husband early; who knows, maybe you’ll have a few more children,” he said.

“Hey, you must have a plan, right?” Xuan Si would never believe he would give up just like that; he must have a way.

“Otherwise, I might do you a favor and sire our family’s first child.”

Dudu dudu. The door of the room was knocked on again.

“Come in.”

The ones who entered were Li Mo and Ling Bo.

Li Mo said with surprise, “So Miss Xuan Si is here too.”

Xuan Si pointed at Li Mo’s nose.

Li Mo, as if he’d done something wrong, dodged to the side and said, “It was the Sect Leader who told me to deceive you; it wasn’t my fault.”
