Against the Gods Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 123: Jealousy



"The relationship between you two grown men is really enviable." Lan Xueruo said with a smile. She said "envy" calmly, but the envy in her heart was many times stronger. Although they are relatives, they can only be regarded as in-laws, but they have such a relationship. And when she thought of her biological brothers, she felt only chill and sadness in her heart.

“Xue Ruo, I’m relieved to see that you’re okay.” Murong Ye walked over with a hint of surprise on his face. “A month ago, I heard that you fell into the Myriad Beasts Mountains. I was so worried and scared that I couldn’t eat or sleep. I just hated myself for not having the ability. Otherwise, even if it cost me my life, I would definitely dive into the Myriad Beasts Mountains to save you.”

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother." Lan Xueruo smiled politely. She was not surprised at all that Murong Ye was here. Every year, Cangfeng Xuanfu would select three of the best disciples from the major branch Xuanfu throughout the Cangfeng Empire and send them to Cangfeng Xuanfu. Murong Ye was one of the people selected by Xinyue Xuanfu this year, and he reported to Cangfeng Xuanfu just this month. I think Murong Ye should have come with Qin Wuyou.

“Xue Ruo, will you stay in Cangfeng Xuanfu in the future? If so, that would be great, we can practice Xuan and get along with each other in the same place again.” Murong Ye said with a smile.

Lan Xueruo did not nod, and said calmly: "In the future, I will indeed stay in Cangfeng Xuanfu." After saying this simply, she no longer paid attention to Murong Ye, and said to Qin Wuyou: "Palace Master Qin... By the way, I should call you Teacher Qin now. Yun Che has just arrived in Cangfeng Imperial City and has nowhere to go. I would like to trouble you to help him arrange for him to enter Cangfeng Xuanfu."

"Haha, of course there is no problem with that." Qin Wuyou nodded gently, "What about you? Do you want to come with us? Your name is still hanging in the Central Palace."

The name is in the Central Mansion? Murong Ye stared... How is this possible! In the Central Mansion, the lowest level has the Xuanli of the third level of the True Xuan Realm. I am at the eighth level of the Entry Xuan Realm, and no one can beat me among the men of the same age in the New Moon Xuan Mansion, but in this Cangfeng Xuan Mansion, even in the lowest-level outer mansion, I can only be considered middle-level. Lan Xueruo's Xuanli is the same as mine, how could she be in the Central Mansion?

Cangfeng Xuanfu is different from Xinyue Xuanfu. Xinyue Xuanfu can still pay attention to human relations, but Cangfeng Xuanfu is absolutely impossible! The boundaries between the outer palace, the middle palace, and the inner palace are extremely clear. If you want to enter the middle palace from the outer palace, the only way is to defeat a disciple of the middle palace. If you want to enter the inner palace from the middle palace, the only way is to defeat a disciple of the inner palace... There is no other way. Even if the palace master comes forward to show favoritism and let a disciple of the outer palace enter the middle palace, it is absolutely impossible.

The only concession they could make was to allow a less qualified disciple to enter the outer palace. However, only heavyweights at least at the level of a mentor had this right, and no more than three people could be admitted in a year.

"I will visit often. But I have been away for too long, and I am a little worried about my father. I must go back first, so Junior Brother Yun will be handed over to Instructor Qin. Junior Brother Yun, Palace Master Qin is now the instructor of Cangfeng Xuanfu. You should settle down in the palace with Instructor Qin first. I will go home and visit you as soon as I finish my family affairs." Lan Xueruo said, and when she mentioned the word "father", a hint of worry and melancholy flashed in her eyes.

The corner of Murong Ye’s mouth twitched fiercely… Settle Yun Che… Visit Yun Che… In Lan Xueruo’s simple words, anyone who was not a fool could hear that she was deeply concerned about Yun Che, and there was no mention of him, Murong Ye, at all.

"Don't worry, I will arrange for Yun Che to live in the outer palace immediately, and will also give him the greatest care in terms of relevant conditions." Qin Wuyou nodded. He was the only one who knew why Lan Xueruo treated Yun Che so well... Although he personally did not think highly of Yun Che, he just admired him a little, but since it was Lan Xueruo's choice, he had no choice but to obey.

"Senior Sister, do you want to go home alone? Otherwise, I'll take you home first." Yun Che asked tentatively. Deep down, he really wanted to know what Lan Xueruo's concept of "home" was.

Lan Xueruo smiled and shook her head, her movements were very gentle, and she didn't say anything, her expression was gentle but firm.

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me in this Cangfeng Imperial City.” After saying this, Lan Xueruo smiled softly at Yun Che, turned her back to him, and walked away slowly.

However, at the moment when she took a step forward, Lan Xueruo suddenly felt an uncomfortable sense of emptiness in her heart, as if she had lost something extremely important... In just a short breath, she understood what this feeling of emptiness was...

Because at this moment, Yun Che was no longer by her side.

They had fled together, faced hardships together, and even nearly experienced the separation of life and death. After such a long time of living together, she didn't even know that she had unknowingly gotten used to Yun Che's existence. When she was in the New Moon Xuan Mansion, Murong Ye would cling to her every day, and it lasted for a long, long time, but it gave her two completely different feelings. Although she was polite and peaceful to Murong Ye's entanglement, she was annoyed and rejected him in her heart. Yun Che was always by her side, and what quietly grew in her heart was a deeper and deeper dependence... and a more dangerous attachment.

Even sleeping in the same bed with him and waking up in his arms in the morning were quietly becoming a habit.

When she returned to Cangfeng Imperial City, she was anxious to go home to visit her father, but at this moment she suddenly left Yun Che. Without Yun Che by her side, the feeling was so uncomfortable, as if a part of her soul was suddenly taken away, making her steps become so slow.

"Senior Sister!"

Suddenly, Yun Che's voice called out from behind her, causing her to stop in her tracks, not wanting to move forward any further.

Yun Che hurried to Lan Xueruo, took out two items from the Sky Poison Pearl, and handed them to Lan Xueruo: "Since you know the Sky Thunder, you must know this poisonous fire gun from the Xiao Sect's Weapon Sect. When I am not with you, you must learn to protect yourself. When facing an enemy who wants to hurt you and you cannot defeat him, do not be soft-hearted and use this poisonous fire gun to kill him. And this incense stick, which was taken from the Black Demon's space ring, is a very special beast-repelling incense. The materials used do not belong to the Blue Wind Empire. They should have been obtained by Black Demon and his men from robbing a foreign wealthy businessman. After burning, it can disperse the mysterious beasts below the Sky Profound. They also used this to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. If you ever enter a dangerous place with dangerous mysterious beasts, light it immediately."

Lan Xueruo's lips curved up into an extremely beautiful and moving smile: "I'm just going home, it's not a life-and-death farewell..." She put away the poisonous fire gun and the body beast incense, and said softly: "Junior Brother Yun, thank you."

“Hehe.” Yun Che laughed frivolously: “We already sleep together every day, why are you still saying thank you? Why are you being so polite… ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”

Lan Xueruo’s face flushed red all the way to her snow-white neck. She pinched the back of Yun Che’s hand in anger, stomped her feet, and ran away as if escaping.

Yun Che didn’t lower his voice too much when he said the last sentence, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Qin Wuyou, Xia Yuanba, and Murong Ye heard it clearly, which made them all stunned. Their mouths opened wide and their jaws almost hit the ground.

“You…what did you just say!” Murong Ye’s chest rose and fell, and then he suddenly rushed forward like an enraged mad dog, grabbed Yun Che by the collar, his eyes red, and roared: “Say what you just said to me again.”

With a "slap", Yun Che slapped away Murong Ye's hand that was grabbing his collar, looked at him with a slanted look, and said indifferently: "Who do you think you are? If you ask me to say it again, I will say it again."

Qin Wuyou stuttered, “Yun Che, you you you you you… you really slept with Xueruo?”

Yun Che looked at Qin Wuyou with a puzzled look: "This... Senior Sister Xueruo and I have been alone for more than a month... Well, there is this handsome man and beautiful woman, who are in love with each other and are passionate about each other... Isn't it normal for them to sleep together?"

“This, this, this, this…” Qin Wuyou’s beard trembled, his eyes widened, and his brain completely froze. Thinking back to Lan Xueruo’s reaction when Yun Che said those words just now… She didn’t give him a hard slap in the face, but pinched him like a spoiled child and ran away in shame and anger…

Qin Wuyou almost had the urge to kneel down to Yun Che on the spot...

“Ahhhhh!” Xia Yuanba’s mouth opened wide for a long time, “Brother-in-law, you actually slept with Senior Sister Xueruo… I admire you so much!”

“Impossible! This can’t be true! How could Xueruo possibly like you! And Xueruo is so pure and innocent, how could it be possible… how could it be possible…” Murong Ye’s breathing was heavy, his eyes were red, and his spirit was almost collapsed and crazy. Suddenly, his hand flashed, and a slender sword was grasped in his hand. He suddenly stabbed at Yun Che: “You bastard who defiled Xueruo, I will kill you!!”

“Stop!” Qin Wuyou and Xia Yuanba were caught off guard by Murong Ye’s action. In addition, Murong Ye was too close to Yun Che, so they could only let out a cry of surprise and had no time to stop him.

Yun Che did not dodge or evade, but casually stretched out his right hand and grabbed the long sword that Murong Ye was stabbing at him. This action shocked Qin Wuyou and Xia Yuanba... Grabbing the sword with his hand? Murong Ye had the profound strength of the eighth level of the Nascent Profound Realm. Did Yun Che not want to use his hand?

Clang!!

The moment Yun Che's fingers touched Murong Ye's sword, Murong Ye's grim smile had completely frozen before it could even show itself. He felt as if his sword had pierced into an incomparably hard rock, unable to move forward even a little bit.

And what was holding the tip of the sword was only the index and middle fingers of Yun Che's right hand.

Murong Ye was stunned, and Qin Wuyou and Xia Yuanba were also completely stunned. At this moment, Qin Wuyou finally noticed Yun Che’s profound strength and blurted out with a cry of disbelief: “Entering the Profound Realm… Level 10!? This… How is this possible!!”

The last time he saw Yun Che, he was only at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. And only a month and a half had passed, and he was already at the tenth level of the Nascent Profound Realm!

Such a speed... can only be described as a fantasy.

“What? What did you say? The tenth level of the Nascent Profound Realm?” Xia Yuanba’s eyes widened, and he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

Yun Che stretched out his right hand, grasping the sword blade with his entire palm. He shook it violently, and the strong profound force flowed along the sword body and hit Murong Ye's tightly clenched hand, causing his knuckles to burst and he let go of his palm with a scream. Yun Che grasped the sword blade, swung his arm, and slapped Murong Ye's face with the hilt of the sword, knocking him to the ground.

Murong Ye was lying on the ground, his entire right face swollen and bloody. Yun Che threw away the sword in his hand, looked down at him and said coldly: "No matter what happens between me and Senior Sister Xueruo, it has nothing to do with you. Stick to your role as a toad who daydreams every day, understand?"
