Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 183: Chapter 182 [Where Did You Go Last Night?]

What pities the hearts of parents under heaven, if it were not for her own suffering, Xiao Ya’s mother would not have been so anxious to see her daughter, to find someone who truly loves her. Perhaps only someone who has stood in the position of Xiao Ya’s mother can understand the feelings of being a mother.

Xiao Ya is a very pure and beautiful girl, who has been obedient and sensible since childhood. She had never experienced love because no boy had ever touched her heart before. Every man is amorous, and every woman harbors feelings of love; nobody can escape the seven emotions and six desires, which are the key differences between humans and animals.

However, Xiao Ya had never imagined that her mother would suddenly say these words, especially in front of Ye Tianchen, making them both rather embarrassed.

For Ye Tianchen, it wasn’t that Xiao Ya had no feelings or emotions, but rather that they weren’t that strong. Their acquaintance wasn’t particularly romantic either. When they first met, Xiao Ya saw Ye Tianchen standing up for her by chiding Xuanyuan Yu. And the help she received from Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun had moved her deeply, though her feelings remained at the level of good friends.

But the experience last night, Xiao Ya would never forget for the rest of her life. At a life-and-death moment, Ye Tianchen protected her like Death God himself, facing over three hundred men with machetes without stepping back. The intent to protect her at all costs was something Xiao Ya could feel profoundly, such a man might only come once in her lifetime.

To Xiao Ya’s own surprise, when she saw Ye Tianchen in danger, she found herself extremely worried, impulsively blocking a knife for him without regard for her own safety.

Heroes show their true colors when the sea rages; only through shared hardships can true human emotions be revealed.

So now, Xiao Ya’s feelings for Ye Tianchen were a bit strange, a mix of liking, gratitude, and being moved. Never having been in love, and always prioritizing her studies, Xiao Ya was confused about her own feelings.

”Oh, no, nothing, Tianchen, don’t stand there, have a seat!” Xiao Ya’s mother came back to her senses and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

”No worries, I’m fine standing!” Ye Tianchen also shook his head and smiled in response.

Because of Xiao Ya’s mother’s words, both Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ya felt embarrassed, each lost in their own thoughts, unsure of what to do, which gradually made the atmosphere in the hospital room become oppressive, leaving them somewhat at a loss for words. Whenever Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ya made eye contact, Ye Tianchen could only give an awkward smile, while Xiao Ya’s pure face blushed slightly.

Creak!

The door to the hospital room was pushed open, and Ling Yuxun came in carrying a bunch of gift boxes. Seeing both Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ya present, she jokingly looked at Ye Tianchen and said, ”You’re really proactive, huh? I thought I was early, but you got here before me!”

”Is this considered early? It’s almost eleven o’clock, you lazy lady slept too long, didn’t you? Being too lazy can actually prevent you from getting married!” Ye Tianchen shook his head, feigning a pitiful expression for Ling Yuxun.

”Who slept in? I took a bath after getting up and then drove here. Unlike some people, who don’t bathe for hundreds of years!” Ling Yuxun looked at Ye Tianchen with contempt.

”How do you know I haven’t bathed in hundreds of years? Are you following me even to the restroom?” Ye Tianchen retorted without backing down.

”Big villain, lewd rogue!” Ling Yuxun glared at Ye Tianchen fiercely with her eyes and said.

Ling Yuxun and Ye Tianchen started bickering as soon as they saw each other, neither giving ground, reminding him of the vibes he had with Qi Ruxue. Nowadays, especially beautiful girls, tend to have a bit of a princess temperament, and Ling Yuxun was even more headache-inducing for Ye Tianchen compared to Qi Ruxue. He and Ling Yuxun were childhood playmates, sharing a very special bond, so he couldn’t just ignore her and had to keep bickering.

Watching Ling Yuxun and Ye Tianchen bicker as soon as they met, the atmosphere immediately relaxed, making everyone feel less constrained. Xiao Ya felt a bit envious of their carefree nature.

Soon, laughter filled the room where Xiao Ya’s mother was staying. With the lively and beautiful Ling Yuxun joining, the atmosphere was naturally not somber, and the four of them chatted happily until about twelve o’clock, when Xiao Ya’s father brought lunch, and Ye Tianchen, Xiao Ya, and Ling Yuxun left Kyoto Hospital.

As soon as they left the hospital, Ye Tianchen looked at Xiao Ya with concern and asked, ”Yaer, are you okay?”

Although the wound on Xiao Ya’s back wasn’t deep and she had been bandaged and stopped bleeding, it must still have been painful since it was a knife wound. So during their conversation, Ye Tianchen kept glancing at Xiao Ya, worried that the knife wound would cause her pain.

”I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt!” Xiao Ya smiled and shook her head.

Ling Yuxun, standing beside Xiao Ya, was suddenly puzzled. She was unaware of what Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ya had experienced the previous night and naturally didn’t understand the meaning behind their conversation.

”You two... you two might... might... be together now? That was fast...” Ling Yuxun suddenly thought of a very sinister possibility, her face showing a shocked expression, and she asked in a stammering voice.

”Huh? Sister Yuxun, what do you mean?” Xiao Ya asked, puzzled, looking at Ling Yuxun.

”Did you two go to book a room last night? Did this big bad guy do something to you?” Ling Yuxun said, sticking out her tongue.

When they heard what Ling Yuxun said, both Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ya almost fell over. They couldn’t have imagined that Ling Yuxun would misunderstand their conversation and think up such wicked ideas. Of course, it was also because their exchange could easily lead someone to think of that kind of situation, with one saying ”Are you alright?” and the other responding ”It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt,” which sounded very much like the dialogue between a man and a woman booking a room for the first time.

”Your thoughts are really twisted, watch your beautiful image!” Ye Tianchen said as he tapped on Ling Yuxun’s head.

”Ouch, you big bad guy, are you asking for a beating? Didn’t you two do something last night... how could you ask such a question?” Ling Yuxun glared at Ye Tianchen as she spoke.

”Not at all, Sister Yuxun, it’s not what you think, nothing happened!” Xiao Ya’s face turned bright red with embarrassment. Even though she was inexperienced in matters of men and women, she understood the implication in Ling Yuxun’s words.

”Then how did you two...”

”This is a secret between the two of us, we won’t tell you, haha!” Ye Tianchen said, laughing heartily.

”You... who cares to know, huh!” Ling Yuxun said dismissively as she glanced at Ye Tianchen.

Just as Ye Tianchen, Xiao Ya, and Ling Yuxun stepped out of the main entrance of Kyoto Hospital, Ye Tianchen suddenly sensed a peculiar aura. Although someone was trying to hide it, the strong murderous intent could not escape Ye Tianchen’s Superpower Perception.

Ye Tianchen glanced toward the pavilion on the left, which was part of a small park, a place for those visiting Kyoto Hospital and their accompanying persons to rest. The strong murderous intent was coming from the small park. After a moment of thought and with a smile, Ye Tianchen said to Ling Yuxun and Xiao Ya, ”Ladies, please wait a moment, I’ll be right back!”

”Hey, you big bad guy, where are you going? You wouldn’t be trying to dodge the bill for our meal, would you?” Ling Yuxun hadn’t finished speaking when Ye Tianchen had already started walking towards the small park.

As he walked toward the park, Ye Tianchen gradually enhanced his King-level Superpower Realm abilities. He felt the murderous intent was strong. The person must be a skilled master.

Swish!

The moment he entered the park, someone attacked Ye Tianchen sneakily with a vigorous punch aimed directly at his head. A figure in midair struck like a Roc Spread Wings. Ye Tianchen’s lips curved into a smile, and with a tight grip of his right hand, he met the punch head-on without dodging.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound as the figure in mid-air, who had thrown the punch at Ye Tianchen, was forcibly matched punch for punch by Ye Tianchen. The figure did a backward somersault and landed firmly. Ye Tianchen didn’t pursue but rather smiled at the person in front of him, surprised it wasn’t him.

”It’s been a while. Your Xingyi Boxing has improved. It seems you’ve been practicing hard!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”I, Wuxue, was once the top assassin in the Capital City, and even at full strength, I am not your opponent. You are really strong.”

The person turned out to be Wuxue, which was both unexpected and reasonable for Ye Tianchen. Probably only Wuxue could emit such strong murderous intent, a signature of a top-notch assassin.

What Ye Tianchen couldn’t understand was that he and Wuxue did not have much of a relationship. Wuxue had once been coerced by Luo Songcheng to kill Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen admired Wuxue’s strength and personality, so he didn’t kill him. In the end, according to their agreement, he released Wuxue’s foster father from prison, and there should have been no further contact between them. Now, it seemed like Wuxue was specifically waiting for Ye Tianchen here.

”You must have something to tell me? Speak up, I still need to take two beautiful ladies out for a meal!” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

”I came to tell you that Xuanyuan Teng has rushed back to the Capital City overnight. He arrived at seven in the morning; he’s here specifically to kill you!” Wuxue said, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Is that so? That’s great. I’m glad that Xuanyuan Teng isn’t afraid to show up, resorting only to dirty tricks behind the scenes. Too lame!” Ye Tianchen continued to smile as he spoke.

Wuxue glanced at Ye Tianchen. Ever since their fight, Wuxue had a deep respect for Ye Tianchen. Although this guy sometimes wasn’t reliable and always had a casual demeanor, he carried a domineering presence that demanded respect. (To be continued.
