Chapter 69: Muye (Part 1) (Second Update)

  The sunset's afterglow weakly slipped away, and the night curtain slowly draped a layer of black gauze over the earth.

  Her eyes tightly closed, a faint blue light emanated from Ye Chen's body, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. A moment later, her pitch-black pupils suddenly snapped open.

  In the dark eyes, a faint green light flashed by, and then he suddenly stood up, jumped down to the ground, Ye Chen smiled bitterly, in just one afternoon, only recovered three-tenths of his strength, it's likely that to recover to his peak period, at least ten days or half a month is needed.

  The stark contrast between his past and present strength still made him feel a bit uncomfortable. Fortunately, with his current 30% strength, dealing with ordinary early-stage Wu Zong peaks was not a problem. Thinking of this, Ye Chen's confidence also increased slightly. His right hand slowly rose, and his true energy faintly appeared at the tip of his finger, immediately followed by a burst of screeching sounds.

  He casually picked up his long sword and tied it behind his back, lifted the flap of the tent, and a wave of wine fragrance wafted out.

  At night, the strong men of the escort team lit a bonfire, and bursts of laughter and chatter came from among them, falling into Ye Chen's ears. The corners of his mouth gradually revealed a faint smile. Rolling white air slowly rose from those burning hot wine stoves, and the entire air was filled with a faint scent of wine.

  There were also some men who, perhaps having drunk wine and with increased boldness, ran to the ladies' quarters, speaking in soft and gentle tones, seeking romantic encounters.

  The cold wind was blowing, but the fragrance brought by the strong wine made Ye Chen feel refreshed. Mu Chen, who was standing outside the tent, couldn't help but wave his hands and beckon him over.

  With a calm smile, he slowly walked to the fireplace where Mu Chen was sitting and sat down. Mu Chen looked at Ye Chen's rosy face with a hint of surprise and couldn't help but laugh in surprise: "Wow, Ye Chen, you were so badly injured, but you recovered in just one afternoon, not bad!"

  Ye Chen smiled and made an excuse, saying: "I wasn't seriously injured in the first place, I've barely recovered my ability to move!"

  Although Mu Chen looked dull and honest, he also knew how to read people's expressions. Seeing Ye Chen not wanting to dwell on this issue, he smiled foolishly and handed the wine jug next to him to Ye Chen, saying: "The temperature in the abandoned domain will drop sharply at night, drink some strong liquor to warm up your stomach, and you won't feel cold tonight!"

  With a calm smile, after cultivating to this day, the outside temperature has rarely affected Ye Chen. He couldn't bear to refuse Mu Chen's kindness, so he took the wine jug and drank a big mouthful directly. A spicy sensation suddenly rose from his abdomen, and his spirit was dazed for a moment. In his past life, he used to drink strong liquor with a large group of brothers like this.

  Mo Chen was taken aback for a moment, then patted Ye Chen's shoulder and laughed loudly: "Good, a real man should drink like this!"

  They immediately picked up the wine jug and poured it down their throats, with gurgling water sounds everywhere. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, both tilting their heads back to drink. However, at this moment a strong aura burst out from inside a tent, and then that aura slowly dissipated, as if it had never appeared before.

  Ye Chen's gaze involuntarily fell upon the tent, and that aura vaguely had the cultivation of the initial Wu Dianfeng. Moreover, inside the tent, there was a faint scent of fragrance wafting out, clearly belonging to a woman. Apparently, the master inside the tent was the person being protected by this branch of guards.

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, letting a large group of men whose strength didn't even reach the 8th layer of Qi Refining go protect the woman at the peak of Qi Refining!

  Obviously, the big Han around was extremely familiar with that breath, and there was no surprise on his face. He continued to drink strong wine, taking it for granted.

  Mocheng casually placed the wine jug aside, and with a glance at Ye Chen's gaze, he couldn't help but say: "That is my family's eldest sister, who reached the peak of initial martial arts at the age of 20. She is known as the genius of Luoxia City who has not appeared in a thousand years! Moreover, she is also known as the number one beauty in Luoxia City, and every year countless young talents come to the Mocheng family to propose, but they are all rejected!" A hint of pride was revealed in Mocheng's words.

  Luoxia City, Mochi Family, Luoxia City is known as one of the three major families, but there are still many powerful families.

  And the Mu family in front of him might be one of those second-rate aristocratic families. Seeing this, he smiled and wiped his mouth, and Ye Chen nodded slightly. However, at this moment, the curtain was slowly lifted, and a long, round, and smooth jade hand appeared in Ye Chen's line of sight.

  For a moment, Ye Chen's gaze slowly shifted upwards, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The girl was just barely out of her teenage years, but her face already held a subtle charm, a contradictory mix of innocence and allure that made one's eyes light up...

  Those two different temperaments made Ye Chen think of Ye Muyu, and the two women's temperaments were extremely similar.

  However, what caught Ye Chen's attention was the indifference in the girl's eyes.

  Smiling and wiping his mouth, he nodded towards Mu Chen and said, "What Big Brother Mu says is right!"

  As soon as the girl appeared, the surrounding cheers also decreased a bit. The eyes of the big men around her immediately focused on her body. In these eyes, there were some normal fervor, but more was a color of reverence. Those with real power would be revered wherever they went.

  In Dahan's eyes, the girl's initial martial arts peak strength was extremely powerful!

  Her beautiful eyes slowly swept over the crowd.

  His gaze finally fell on Ye Chen's body, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he walked slowly over. A moment later, a face with a hint of indifference appeared in front of Mu Chen and Ye Chen. A somewhat cold voice also came out: "So you're the person Mu Chen rescued on the road?"

  Mo Chen stood up with a respectful expression and bowed. Ye Chen also had to stand up, smiled calmly, and cupped his hands saying: "Indeed!"

  She didn't feel any fluctuations of true energy on Ye Chen at all, the woman's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, and she said lightly: "The Mu family has never raised idle people. If you want to stay in the Mu family, you must do something. Mu Chen, if he wants to stay, arrange some trivial matters for him!"

  Mu Chen's face lit up with joy, the woman's words undoubtedly meant that Ye Chen was allowed to stay at the Mu residence. In his opinion, staying at the Mu residence was a great opportunity, not only did he receive a high salary, but he also occasionally received guidance from the Mu family elders and even got some free martial skills!

  Ye Chen smiled wryly, his injuries still not fully recovered. The Blood Sword Army was frantically searching for him everywhere, and what made Ye Chen even more worried was the bounty issued by the Blood Sword Army. He feared that there would be many more people trying to kill him. For now, hiding in the Mu family was also a good choice. He said slowly: "Thank you!"

  "Take it easy! Once your injuries are healed, Mu Chen can teach you some cultivation techniques. Surviving in the Martial God Continent requires cultivating martial skills, and it's not too late to start now! A man must have accomplishments to stand firm between heaven and earth!" The woman spoke indifferently and walked straight past Ye Chen into the tent.

  Ye Chen bitterly smiled, unable to refute being told he had no ability despite his cultivation in the Refining Martial Realm!

  After the girl left, Mu Chen let out a big sigh of relief and patted Ye Chen's shoulder, smiling foolishly: "She is indeed Big Sister Mu Ye! Ye Chen, although Big Sister speaks directly, it's also for your own good, don't blame her!"

  He shrugged and smiled, saying: "I know, I won't blame her!"

  Although the woman's words were somewhat indifferent, after all, she was also thinking of herself. How could Ye Chen blame her for that?

  Seeing Ye Chen's face without a hint of anger, Mu Chen smiled stupidly and slowly brought his mouth close to Ye Chen's ear, whispering: "Ye Chen, you wouldn't have fallen in love at first sight with my family's little sister, would you?"
