By the time Xia Ruoxue reacted, Qin Zhengyang was nowhere to be seen in the living room!
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the now open window. Her fist was clenched tightly as she gritted her teeth and muttered, Qin Zhengyang, even if 1 die, 1 wont become your woman!
Ye Chen returned to Mingcui Villa, and then asked Wu Xiangming to find a three-bedroom apartment near the villa.
During this period of time, he wanted Wu Xiangming to cultivate that cultivation technique to the great success stage and to surpa.s.s Wu Qiyuan within two months.
If he could not, then he would not be qualified to stay by Ye Chens side.
Although Wu Xiangming felt that it was a little unrealistic, he still gritted his teeth and agreed when he thought of the top-notch cultivation technique and pills in his hands.
In any case, with his current strength, he was indeed not qualified to stay by Ye Chens side!
Ye Chen felt that the villa was empty. Without Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue, it did not feel the same.
Fortunately, Sun Yi was coming to Jiangnan Province in a few days, and Xia Ruoxue was nearby.
Hence, he called Xia Ruoxue to ask about her grandmothers condition.
With his medical skills, it would be easy for him to treat her grandmother.
However, for some reason, she did not pick up.
Ye Chen frowned, but did not think too much about it. He would call again later, and if she did not pick up again, he would pay the Xia familys residence a visit for a welfare check.
Then, he took out the black stone, closed his eyes, and started to cultivate.
The past few days of cultivation had already allowed him to advance from the first level of the qi transformation realm to the peak of the second level. Now, he was trying to break through and reach the third level.
He reckoned that he would be able to activate the second tombstone once he did, and briefly wondered how powerful this expert would be.
The black stone floated above Ye Chens head and released a terrifying amount of spiritual energy, which surged into Ye Chens dantian.
A sense of fullness engulfed him, and his cultivation level slowly began to rise. Ever since the black stone had absorbed the powers of that mysterious jade pendant, Ye Chens cultivation speed had increased, and even surpa.s.sed how fast he cultivated in the Kunlun Mountains.
After cultivating for a full six hours, it was already late at night. Suddenly, the doorbell rang urgently. Ye Chen opened his eyes and a glimmer of light flashed across them.
He slowly exhaled and got up to open the door.
He had just moved into the villa, and it was already late at night. Why was someone ringing the doorbell?
Only Ye Lingtian and Xiao Deng knew about this place.
He had already asked Xiao Deng to leave, so it was definitely not him.
Moreover, if either of these two people were looking for him, they would definitely call him in advance.
Ye Chen opened the door in confusion, and a black shadowy figure rushed in and the door slammed shut.
Ye Chens expression changed. Someone had actually dared to trespa.s.s into his residence!
Courting death!
His hand was filled with true qi as he clawed at the black shadowy figure!
Just as his five fingers were about to grab the person, he or she fell to the ground.
Hmm?
Was this some new type of insurance fraud?
Ye Chens eyes flashed with a trace of doubt. He retracted his hand and casually glanced at the fallen figure. He was surprised to find that it was a masked woman.
Furthermore, the woman was severely injured.
Ye Chen snorted coldly and grabbed the woman on the ground. He opened the door, planning to throw her out. He was not in the business of charity or aid, so he naturally would not take in a woman of unknown origin.
Just as he was about to throw her out, the injured woman opened her eyes and grabbed Ye Chens arm.
Please just let me stay for a while. Those people will be here soon.
Ye Chens eyes remained indifferent as he refused, Impossible.
Then, he threw the woman out and said, If you dare to take another step forward, 1 guarantee that you wont even live long enough for your pursuers to find you.
This woman had appeared in his villa in the middle of the night. Although she was seriously injured, there were too many suspicious points.
If he took her in, the trouble that would follow was hard to predict.
Just as Ye Chen was about to close the door, a pair of slender hands reached in. Surprisingly, in one of her palms was a medicinal pill that seemed quite extraordinary, for ordinary ancient martial artists at least.
Ill give you this pill in exchange for a one nights stay, the woman hurriedly said.
She could feel that her wounds were getting worse, and she was beginning to lose consciousness.
She might faint at any moment!
As for why she chose this place out of the many villas here, it was entirely because she sensed a dense amount of spiritual energy surging through this villa. This person was definitely an ancient martial arts pract.i.tioner!
Moreover, from his aura, he was not weak!
As long as she hid inside, she would be safe!
This was her only chance!
However, who would have thought that this man would be so unchivalrous as to ignore a damsel in distress.
Helpless, she could only take out this pill, hoping that the other party would take her in for the night on account of the pill.
After all, no ancient martial art pract.i.tioner could resist the temptation of medicinal pills.
Then, a cold voice replied, Im not interested in your medicinal pill! Also, if you dont move your hands, youll regret it.
The womans expression changed, and her eyes were filled with confusion!
This guy was not even interested in pills?
What the heck?
