Chapter 31

Sun Yi smashed a few bolsters, running out of breath. It was only then she noticed that Ye Chen had a strange look on his face.

She followed Ye Chen’s line of sight and knew what was going on immediately. Placing the pillow directly on the sofa, she pretended to be angry. “What ideas are you coming up with again?”

Perhaps it was because of the intense exercise just now, Sun Yi’s pure white T-shirt was stained with some perspiration. Coupled with that red face, she was really exuding charm.

Ye Chen felt that it would be dangerous for both sides to live together like this!

Like dried wood and blazing fire (TN: It is a Chinese idiom describing the strong sexual desire between men and women, which is mostly used in improper relations between men and women), the two were virgins too, how about that?

After a few heavy breaths, Sun Yi thought of something and asked, “Are you really not going to Xia Ruoxue’s? She is the young lady of the Xia family of Jiangnan Province, an outstanding beauty. Can you really hold back?”

Ye Chen gulped. Turning on the TV, he said casually, “I’m not in a hurry. If they want to see me, even a dragon would have to be curl up and wait. Let’s not mention the precious daughter of the Xia family of Jiangnan Province, I, Ye Chen, will not even necessarily meet the daughter of the great family of Capital City. ”

Sun Yi had enough of Ye Chen. Would this guy die if he does not brag just for one day?

She reckoned that he would regret everything when he really saw Xia Ruoxue.

Which man was undefeated under Xia Ruoxue’s pomegranate skirt? (TN: Pomegranate skirt is part of a Chinese adage that describes men who greatly adored women. The adage is related to the story of Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei and during the Tang Dynasty, the pomegranate skirt was popular for its bright red color).

Just then, the host on the TV happened to be reporting an important piece of news.

“…The identity of the deceased has been determined. It is Chen Zhengguo, president of the River City Chamber of Commerce, and his son was also killed by the suspect. According to the police’s judgment, this was a deliberate murder, and the murderer’s means were extremely terrible. I hope River City residents will pay attention to their safety these days and do not stay out too much at night…”

Sun Yi saw the news and covered her mouth unconsciously.

She had just met Chen Feng and Chen Zhengguo a few days ago! Not to mention, she had not been able to sleep well these days, worried that they would retaliate!

She never expected that these two people would be killed!

Oh God, this was the Chen family of River City. Even though they were not River City’s top family, they still had a deep heritage!

Who dared to kill them? And specifically with such cruel methods!

Sun Yi swallowed to suppress her astonishment and then looked at Ye Chen. She found the other person’s eyes were squinted and filled with playfulness.

For a moment, she felt that the incident had been Ye Chen’s doing! After all, Ye Chen had the power to do so and the death of Chen Zhengguo and Chen Feng was also beneficial to him. At least there was no need to worry about being avenged.

“This wouldn’t happen to be your doing?” Sun Yi could not help but ask.

Ye Chen was a little stunned by the question, but he chuckled immediately after that, pretending to put on a fierce look. “That’s right. To be honest, I’m a first-rate killer. I can leap onto roofs and vault over walls, and I have killed countless people. You sure you still want to let me live in your house? If by any chance I have any perverted thoughts, hehe… ”

Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what the other party had said. That was because in this world, without evidence, no murderer would admit to being a killer themselves.

Not to mention, looking at Ye Chen, it was still plausible that he would fight, but he would certainly not dare to kill, let alone thinking about him killing the prominent people of River City.

“Stop boasting… We should go home early these few days. The killer must still be in River City and who knows maybe they will come for us one day? Do you hear me? Don’t go out at night!” Sun Yi said rather worriedly.

Then, she stood up and stretched.

“No good, I’m too tired to go shopping today. I’m going to catch up on some sleep. You should also rest. You boys should be more tired after shopping… ” She chuckled.

The moment the door to Sun Yi’s bedroom was closed, a strong wave of evil tendencies burst out from Ye Chen’s body.

“Sun Yi, rest assured. Even if the heinous demon kills everyone in the world, they won’t be able to touch you. If anyone dares to touch you, that devil will personally drag them down to hell!”

The evil tendencies disappeared.

Ye Chen stood up. Since he had to treat Shen Haihua the next morning, he could no longer wait for the time agreed with Zhu Rende. He had to go buy some extra herbs to make Shen Haihua’s elixir today.

This time, instead of going to the Virtuous Benevolence Hall, he chose to buy the needed medicinal herbs at the nearest Chinese apothecary. Although he could not acquire some of the medicine, Ye Chen also found substitutes for them.

As he was about to leave with his packs of medicinal herbs, a tall beauty stopped in front of him.

It was Bai Libing who had cuffed him the other day.

Bai Libing was not wearing her uniform today and it was probably because she was having an off day. Ye Chen almost did not recognize her.

“What’s this? Has your body become weak that you need to take supplements?” Bai Libing said satirically with her arms hugging her chest.

Ye Chen shrugged and walked in the other direction without so much as an explanation.

He did not like being getting involved with this woman.

When Ye Chen had walked a dozen steps away from her, Bai Libing’s cold voice rang out, “The Chen family incident, that’s your doing isn’t it?”

Ye Chen paused and said blankly, “I just saw the news today. Miss Baili, isn’t it a bit too rash for you to suspect me out of nowhere? If anything, shouldn’t you pay attention to the evidence?”

With that, Ye Chen was ready to leave once and for all. Bai Libing’s voice chimed behind him again, “That’s also true. We need to pay attention to the evidence when convicting people. This time, however, I came here not for the Chen family’s affairs but for something else. I’m curious—how did the young man who fell into East Coin Lake five years ago survive?

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. He could feel the chilling urge to murder unfurling inside him!

He never thought that this Bai Libing would find out about his identity!

Five years ago! East Coin Lake! The mishap involving the only useless person of the Ye family, Ye Chen!

Bai Libing turned around. Swaying her voluptuous body, she sauntered to the front of Ye Chen. “It seems that I was right, you really are the Ye Chen who died five years ago. Who would’ve thought the famous, useless person of the Ye family had not only returned but had carried a terrifying power back with him…”

Before the Bai Libing could finish speaking, a pair of large hands seized her long neck and lifted her up. It was immediately followed by a sense of death permeating her whole body!

It made her feel like she was in an ice cave.

“What are you trying to say?”

After a few seconds, Ye Chen flung Bai Libing away and the latter stabilized her fall with a backflip. Stupefaction dawned on her face!

The ancient martial arts that Bai Libing practiced was not very powerful, but it was also not something that ordinary people could handle!

Nevertheless, when Ye Chen grabbed her just a few moments ago, she felt a sense of death in her heart and that there was not even a chance for her to burst out the power within her body!

It was as if a terrifying power had suppressed her!

She stepped back unconsciously when she realized that the Ye Chen standing in front of her was far more complicated from who she had uncovered from her investigation!

Five years ago, he was the joke of countless people in River City! Yet, five years later, this Ye Chen had apparently turned into an extremely terrifying existence!

What had he experienced in the past five years?

Even if the boy started practicing ancient martial arts from that day onwards, it would still be too late for him. He had passed the best age for him to master the arts. Why was he still so strong?

Numerous doubts lingered in Bai Libing’s mind.
