Supreme Sword God

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: If You Want to Tease Me, Go Ahead!

At this time, the sky had gradually brightened.

Inside the cave, there was also some light shining through.

Ye Chen, who had retreated from the Sword Tomb, stared at Hua Qianxue lying on the ground, scrutinizing her appearance.

Although he had been looking at her for several days.

It was the first time he looked so closely.

Delicate features, perfectly balanced facial features, and as for her figure, there was nothing to criticize. Ye Chen had carried her along the way, inadvertently making contact here and there.

Everything’s nice, just too proud.

Out of nowhere, she’d give you a cold stare, snort at you.

If she didn’t act so tough, this girl would actually be quite nice.

A moment later.

Hua Qianxue’s jet-black eyelashes fluttered slightly, then she slowly opened her eyes.

Ye Chen said, ”Miss Hua, you’re finally awake. I was so worried about you all night.”

Hua Qianxue furrowed her brows, didn’t speak, examined her surroundings, then slowly sat up and checked her clothes.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes.

What do you take me for?

So Ye Chen briefly explained to Hua Qianxue what had happened after she fainted.

Hua Qianxue lowered her head, not replying.

Ye Chen said, ”Miss Hua, you don’t need to be too touched. I said before, you treat me well, I’ll treat you even better.”

Hua Qianxue raised her head, her eyes filled with anger, and possibly... tears seemed to shimmer.

Ye Chen scratched his head and said, ”Miss Hua, really no need to be so moved, you helped me even more.”

A woman, once moved, might do something crazy?

Ye Chen, who used to enjoy listening to storytellers when he had nothing to do, had a sense of it.

Hua Qianxue just stared at Ye Chen, making him feel guilty, as if he had really done something wrong.

After a while, Ye Chen softly said, ”Miss Hua, are you okay?”

Hua Qianxue gritted her teeth, saying, ”You bit me!”

Ye Chen: ”...”

Hua Qianxue really wanted to cry!

So wronged!

She had actually been bitten by a man!

Moreover, he must have bitten very hard; the skin was broken, and the tooth marks were still very clear!

Ye Chen hurriedly explained, ”At that time, the situation was urgent, and I had no choice... How about, Miss Hua, you bite me back and we’ll call it even?”

Seriously!

Is it such a big deal?

Just a bite, if you feel wronged, you can bite me back.

As a man, Ye Chen has this bit of grace!

Hua Qianxue turned away, not wanting to look at Ye Chen, immersed in her own sorrow!

Ye Chen awkwardly sat near the cave entrance, thinking it best not to provoke Hua Qianxue right now, otherwise, if she slashed at him with her sword, it wouldn’t be a joke.

When daylight fully broke.

Ye Chen looked back at the seemingly recovered Hua Qianxue and said, ”Miss Hua, um... shall we continue our journey?”

Hua Qianxue, holding her sword, walked to the cave entrance.

Ye Chen quickly distanced himself from Hua Qianxue.

Hua Qianxue said, ”If I really swung my sword at you, you wouldn’t be able to dodge within three miles!”

Ye Chen: ”...”

”What did you do to Ling’er?!” Hua Qianxue asked.

”Ling’er?” Ye Chen was puzzled.

”My sword is called Ling’er.”

”This sword is very loyal to you. It sensed you were in danger and cooperated with my strength, killing several Sea of Qi Realm guys together,” Ye Chen said offhandedly.

Hua Qianxue showed a look of skepticism.

Is that really the case?

It might be possible; this sword of hers is a Dao Sword, very spiritual, and it’s normal for it to protect its master.

No wonder her sword had weakened significantly and was almost falling from its Dao Sword grade...

Hua Qianxue, carrying her sword, walked out of the cave, with Ye Chen following.

”Don’t get too close to me.”

Hua Qianxue coldly stated.

Ye Chen said, ”It’s fine, if there’s really danger, being close or far doesn’t make much difference.”

”I’m afraid I can’t resist chopping you,” Hua Qianxue said. She couldn’t stop looking at the two rows of tooth marks on the back of her hand, and once seeing them, she wanted to chop someone!

Ye Chen: ”...”

Women, they hold grudges!

Hua Qianxue clearly hadn’t recovered yet, stopping for a rest shortly after starting, and fetched a bottle containing Ground Milk from her Storage Ring, taking a few drops into her mouth, then tossed the jade bottle to Ye Chen.

”There are three drops left, I don’t want to drink any more.”

Ye Chen uncorked the bottle, a refreshing aroma burst into his nostrils, and just a sniff made Ye Chen feel refreshed, with much of yesterday’s battle aftereffects disappearing.

Backache and leg weakness gone!

”Thanks.” Ye Chen shouted, then downed the three drops of Ground Milk in one gulp.

Rich energy exploded instantly in Ye Chen’s mouth, seeming to want to burst from his nose and mouth.

But knowing this stuff was likely very expensive, Ye Chen held his breath, quickly operated his cultivation technique to refine the energy of the Ground Milk.

Gradually, Ye Chen’s body swelled slightly.

Seeing this, Hua Qianxue couldn’t help but laugh and said, ”Serves you right, you’re just at the Gathering Yuan Realm cultivation, one drop of Ground Milk’s energy should suffice for you, three drops, it’ll burst you!”

Ye Chen’s face turned red.

Hua Qianxue frowned and said, ”If you can’t refine it, let it go; continuing like this will genuinely be fatal!”

Ye Chen couldn’t hear much of it.

The Nine Heavens Sword Manual’s first layer cultivation technique was running wildly, refining the energy of the Ground Milk, even seeming to expand his dantian slightly.

A quarter-hour later.

Ye Chen finally returned to normal.

Hua Qianxue was quite shocked in her heart.

Just now, worrying that Ye Chen might break down, she even wanted to help him expel that energy.

But in the end...

Ye Chen solved it himself!

Gathering Yuan Realm Tenth Layer, refining three drops of Ground Milk in a quarter-hour... Hua Qianxue once again felt a sense of defeat.

Back when she was at the Gathering Yuan Realm Tenth Layer, one drop of Ground Milk seemed to take half a day!

Ye Chen looked at Hua Qianxue, but he had another feeling.

Prodigal woman!

To tease him, she was even willing to waste such a good thing!

”Miss Hua, this Ground Milk, it must be pretty expensive, right?” Ye Chen asked.

”Not really,” Hua Qianxue said lightly. ”A single drop is only about 100,000 taels of silver.”

The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth twitched.

Not expensive, just a single drop costing 100,000 taels of silver... This mischievous girl, to tease him, used 300,000 taels’ worth to play around!

Hua Qianxue thought for a moment and seriously said, ”It’s genuinely not expensive; I’ve been consuming Ground Milk daily since I started cultivating at the age of seven.

Ye Chen, as you go higher, you will see that resources you can trade for with money are nothing significant.

The sky you see now is too low.

Work hard, this world’s sky is vast and high.”

Ye Chen had heard similar things from his father, Ye Zhennan, but hadn’t felt it so directly before.

But hearing these words from the mouth of Hua Qianxue, a genius from a higher, grander sky, the feeling was intense.

Ye Chen, with a determined expression, looked at Hua Qianxue and seriously said, ”Miss Hua, if you have more excess treasures, feel free to bring them out to tease me, don’t hesitate!”
