"You hurt me!"
Lin Ruoyi clenched her delicate fists and pounded them against Ye Chen's chest.
"Ah, it hurts so much! My heart..."
Ye Chen instantly put on a pained expression and collapsed onto the sofa.
"Stop acting, your acting skills are just too terrible."
Lin Ruoyi pouted and let out a soft huff.
She thought to herself that this guy had thick skin and a sturdy build, so how could a little hit possibly hurt him!
Yet Ye Chen continued to clutch his chest, looking in excruciating pain.
His face even flushed red.
"Brother Ye Chen, you're not actually hurt, are you?"
"Don't scare me, I'm calling an ambulance!"
The more Lin Ruoyi looked, the more wrong things seemed, and she began to panic.
She picked up her phone, preparing to dial emergency services.
As the saying goes, anxiety stems from deep care.
"Haha, you fell for it!"
Ye Chen suddenly sat up with a mischievous grin.
This naive girl was still just as easy to trick as she was when they were kids!
"Ah! You tricked me!"
"I'm going to hit you!"
Realizing she had been duped amidst her panic, Lin Ruoyi grew embarrassed and angry.
Clenching her delicate fists, she moved to beat him again.
However, the moment she threw her punch, Ye Chen easily caught her fist.
With a casual pull, he drew her into his embrace.
Leaving her completely unable to move.
Being held in those strong arms made her face burn instantly, her heart fluttering like a trapped fawn.
Lin Ruoyi remembered how Ye Chen loved to tease her just like this when they were children.
Only back then, hugging each other was nothing more than innocent horseplay.
But now, repeating that same scene from the past, completely different feelings began to sprout in both their hearts.
"Brother Ye Chen, it's so nice to have you here."
Lin Ruoyi abandoned her struggle and leaned against Ye Chen's chest.
Feeling the steady thud of this man's heartbeat.
How she wished she could stay by his side forever.
"Mmm, it's nice having you too."
Ye Chen smiled.
Yet he simply held Ruoyi, making no further moves.
To prevent the Dragon Blood Poison from acting up, he had to exercise restraint.
Meanwhile.
At the God of War Dongfang Mansion.
"Damned little bastard! How dare he kill a War General under my command!"
"If I don't kill this boy, where will I put my face!"
"Hear my military order: assemble thirty thousand Imperial Guards and stand by!"
The God of War Dongfang slammed the table and issued an order in a rage of thunder.
The King of Jiangnan he had appointed had been killed in public by Ye Chen on his very first day in office!
This was clearly a complete disregard for him as a God of War!
If he didn't wash away such monstrous humiliation, wouldn't he, a dignified God of War, become a laughingstock to the world?
"Pass the God of War's military order!"
"Assemble thirty thousand Imperial Guards and stand by!"
A retainer immediately relayed the order.
In less than five minutes, the thirty thousand Imperial Guards stationed at the mansion had assembled!
Fully armed and awaiting orders!
"Wu Fa, I hand full command of the thirty thousand Imperial Guards over to you!"
"Go flatten Jiangbei! Capture that little bastard and bring him to me!"
"Execute anyone who dares to disobey!"
The God of War Dongfang commanded in a towering rage, his gaze incomparably gloomy.
He was going to let that arrogant boy who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth understand something!
What it meant when a God of War was enraged and rivers of blood flowed!
Chapter 35: Thirty Thousand Imperial Guards Strike Directly at Jiangbei
"Yes, subordinate obeys!"
"I will surely capture that kid alive and bring him to the God of War!"
The War General named Wu Fa accepted the order with furious determination.
He gnashed his teeth, itching to go take Ye Chen's life right this second!
Because Wu Tian, who had met such a miserable end today, was none other than his own younger brother!
His own brother had been killed; if he failed to avenge this grudge, he would be unworthy of being an older brother!
"Remember, aside from capturing that little bastard, teach the people of Jiangbei a lesson as well!"
"Let those plebeians know whose territory this is! Who calls the shots!"
"No one is allowed to challenge my majesty on my turf!"
The God of War Dongfang instructed again, his eyes flashing with a murderous glint.
Could a tiny little Jiangbei really turn upside down, or what!
He was the sky here!
He was an existence that no one was permitted to defy!
"I know what to do, Lord God of War can rest easy!"
Wu Fa took the order and left.
Leading the thirty thousand Imperial Guards with overwhelming momentum straight toward Jiangbei!
At the same time.
A military special plane was on its way to Jiangbei.
"There's new news."
"That kid chopped down the newly appointed King of Jiangnan today."
"Over at the God of War Dongfang's side, thirty thousand Imperial Guards have already been dispatched to Jiangbei."
A pretty woman reported respectfully.
"That kid really isn't a trouble-free character."
"In less than a day, he's gone and stirred up an even bigger hornet's nest."
"Can we make it in time?"
The stunning woman sighed helplessly.
That boy certainly knew how to give her a headache.
Still, it wasn't a major problem for the moment.
She could handle it.
"We'll make it in time."
"Should we contact the God of War Dongfang's side first?"
The pretty female assistant asked.
"No, there's no need."
The stunning woman shook her head.
She couldn't be bothered to deal with that God of War Dongfang.
The special plane accelerated, racing toward Jiangbei at maximum speed.
...
Deep into the night.
"Brother Ye Chen, my technique isn't bad, is it?"
"You must be very comfortable!"
Lin Ruoyi said with a beaming smile.
"Mmm, the service is not bad."
"Except the pressure from your hands was a bit too light, lacking just a little bit of feeling."
"There's still a lot of room for improvement in your technique; you could be a bit bolder."
Ye Chen leaned his head back against the sofa, looking thoroughly pampered.
"Hmph, you sure have a lot of demands!"
"Since your technique is so good, why don't you give me a massage instead!"
Lin Ruoyi struck Ye Chen's leg with her little fists.
Seeing this guy had been working hard, she had kindly given him a leg massage.
Yet this fellow was still being picky and choosing!
"Fine, I'll let you experience what professional technique is!"
"Lie down obediently, and I'll give you the full treatment."
Ye Chen flipped over and stood up, having Ruoyi lie down on the sofa.
"I'd like to see just how professional you are."
Lin Ruoyi obediently laid down on the sofa.
With her slender figure viewed from another angle, she possessed a different kind of beauty.
Ye Chen applied his technique, starting his massage from Ruoyi's neck.
The moment he laid hands on her, he displayed a skill quite out of the ordinary.
"Mm-ah... it hurts..."
"Brother Ye Chen, can't you be a bit lighter? Your strength is too big!"
Lin Ruoyi immediately cried out in pain.
"Relax, don't keep your body so tense, and you won't feel pain."
Ye Chen raised his palm, gently sweeping it across Ruoyi's back to guide her into relaxing.
Lin Ruoyi then tried to relax her body and mind, and when Ye Chen massaged her again, it indeed didn't hurt nearly as much.
On the contrary, the pressure was just right, making her feel wonderful.
Ye Chen attentively massaged Ruoyi, moving from her neck to her back and waist, and all the way down to her hips and legs, taking a full half hour.
"So comfortable."
Lin Ruoyi said with a sense of bliss.
She felt as light as air, her mind and body completely relaxed.
"We're not done yet, flip over and continue."
Ye Chen smiled.
"Hmph... in your dreams!"
Lin Ruoyi said with faux disgust.
Her Brother Ye Chen was starting to act improper again.
Just then, Ye Chen's ears twitched slightly as he suddenly heard movement in the distance outside the villa!
Someone was coming.
And there were a lot of them.
"Someone is outside, I'll go check, you go rest first."
Ye Chen instructed softly.
"No, there must be danger, I'm coming out with you to take a look."
Lin Ruoyi noticed the unusual look in Ye Chen's expression.
No matter what, she insisted on following him out.
The two came outside the villa.
Only to see that the surroundings of the villa had already been surrounded by heavy troops!
A veritable sea of people, numbering in the tens of thousands by a rough estimate!
Everyone was fully armed, holding loaded weapons and standing by!
Seeing this sight, Ye Chen's eyes instantly darkened.
He knew these people belonged to that God of War Dongfang again!
To mobilize such a massive fanfare and send this many people, it looked like that God of War must be furious.
However, having sheer numbers wasn't enough to scare him!
"Brother Ye Chen, why did so many people come!"
"What should we do, can you beat them? They all have guns!"
Lin Ruoyi said with worry.
Seeing the vast crowd on the other side made her heart clench into a knot.
"I can handle them, it'll just take a little more time."
"Go back inside the house and don't come out."
Ye Chen smiled indifferently.
In his eyes, the enemy having numbers simply meant he had to waste a bit more time.
Aside from that, they posed no other threat whatsoever!
"All right then, you must be careful."
Lin Ruoyi obediently returned to the villa so as not to hinder Ye Chen's performance.
No matter what, she believed in this man.
With no distractions left to worry about, Ye Chen looked coldly at the tens of thousands of fully armed elite soldiers surrounding him.
Being targeted by tens of thousands of guns, his expression didn't change in the slightest!
At that moment, the heavy ranks of elite soldiers in front parted to create a path.
With a gloomy expression and an arrogant stride, Wu Fa stepped forward.
His eyes full of disdain and contempt, he looked Ye Chen up and down.
The person who dared to pick a fight with the God of War was just such an unremarkable kid?!
It was truly hard to believe!
"Brat, do you know what heinous crimes you've committed?!"
Wu Fa stepped forward and shouted angrily.
He put on the complete posture of a judge!
"Heh, what crime have I committed?"
"Right now is my bedtime, I advise you not to disturb my mood and hurry up and get lost with all these people of yours!"
"Otherwise, I don't mind turning this place into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
Ye Chen let out a cold snhuff.
His gaze chilling as he issued a warning.
He didn't want to fight.
But if the other side insisted on fighting, he would accompany them to the end!
Hearing this, the thirty thousand Imperial Guards broke into an uproar.
Everyone looked at the kid in the center as if he were a fool.
Where on earth did this kid get the confidence to say such words!
With their thirty thousand men, if everyone spat just once, they could drown this kid several times over!
"Brat, death is at the doorstep and you still dare to spout wild nonsense!"
"If you don't know what crimes you've committed, then I'll count them out for you!"
"Daring to murder two successive Kings of Jiangnan, crime number one!"
"Daring to openly provoke the majesty of the God of War Dongfang, crime number two!"
"Daring to resist orders and evade arrest, crime number three!"
"Any single one of these three charges is enough to execute your dog's life!"
Wu Fa gritted his teeth, ticking off the counts methodically.
He acted as though he stood on the moral high ground, judging Ye Chen!
It was the thirty thousand Imperial Guards behind him that gave him the arrogant confidence to do so.
"Cut the crap!"
"I'll say this only once: if you don't want to die, get lost right now!"
Ye Chen's freezing voice echoed across the fields!
Chapter 36: Senior Sister Turns Out to Be the God of War of the Northern Territory
With that, Ye Chen swept his cold gaze across the surrounding crowd.
A powerful killing intent radiated from his entire body.
Feeling that terrifying killing intent, the thirty thousand Imperial Guards shivered instantly.
A chill ran down their spines!
Wu Fa's expression likewise tightened, momentarily intimidated by that formidable presence.
However, relying on his overwhelming numbers, he wasn't afraid at all!
"Surname Ye, then I'll give you one last chance too!"
"Kneel down! Surrender!"
"Did you hear me, I order you to kneel!"
Wu Fa put his hands on his hips and shouted angrily.
Standing above everyone else, because here, he was the king!
What he represented was none of other than the God of War Dongfang!
"Kneel and surrender!"
"Kneel and surrender!!"
The thirty thousand Imperial Guards shouted in unison.
Raising their guns, they pressed forward step by step.
It felt as though the earth itself was trembling along with them.
Inside the villa, Lin Ruoyi was watching this scene through the window.
She clenched her fists tightly, anger written all over her face!
Although she knew Brother Ye Chen was formidable.
Still, seeing a scene like this made her worry, her heart suspended in her throat.
The other residents living in this villa complex dared not step outside at all.
Those who could live here were either wealthy or noble.
Yet they didn't dare provoke these people in the slightest.
Because these people were subordinates of the God of War Dongfang!
To offend the God of War Dongfang meant ending up just like this—
Swept aside and trampled at will by tens of thousands of troops!
With nowhere left to bury your bones!
Faced with the intimidation of the thirty thousand imperial troops, Ye Chen's expression did not change at all.
He coldly looked at the sea of people before him.
His fists slowly clenched tighter.
Preparing to launch into a massive slaughter!
"Damned little bastard, are your ears deaf when I told you to kneel!"
"I'm telling you, if you dare to resist, tonight the thirty thousand Imperial Guards will wash Jiangbei in blood!"
"Do you want the entire population of Jiangbei to be buried with you?"
Wu Fa clamored with threats once more.
His smug expression grew increasingly distorted.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's killing intent instantly erupted.
Have the people of Jiangbei buried with him?
That God of War Dongfang was actually cruel to this extent?!
Treating ordinary citizens as mere blades of grass!
Ye Chen's anger climbed yet another level!
What a load of crap, God of War Dongfang!
He wasn't fit to rule over this place at all!
Clenching his fists tightly with a chilling gaze, Ye Chen walked slowly forward against the tens of thousands of gun barrels.
He would kill this barking dog in front of him first!
"Little bastard, you really don't know what's good for you!"
"All units, listen up!"
"Fire..."
Wu Fa raised the gun in his hand, preparing to give the order to shoot!
To order the thirty thousand Imperial Guards to open fire and execute Ye Chen!
"Stop right there!!!"
Just at that moment, a woman's voice came from afar.
The voice was deep and piercingly clear.
Reaching the ears of all thirty thousand Imperial Guards present.
Wu Fa, who was about to give the order, was cut off mid-sentence.
He turned back to look.
Wanting to see what kind of woman dared to come out and stop him!
Ye Chen also frowned slightly, curious as to who had arrived.
Only to see two figures stepping through the air from beneath the night sky!
In the blink of an eye, they had arrived right in front of him.
It was a stunning woman!
Dressed in a dazzling red long dress.
With a cascade of flowing hair reaching past her waist.
Possessing a face of breathtaking beauty.
Skin like congealed fat, bones of ice and jade, an graceful posture, and unmatched elegance!
Even a celestial immortal descending to the mortal realm would be nothing more than this.
At first glance, Ye Chen was instantly captivated.
So much so that he overlooked the fact that another equally stunning and alluring woman was following closely behind.
The gorgeous woman gazed at Ye Chen, the corners of her red lips lifting into a satisfied and appreciative smile.
This boy she had never met before really was a charming little handsome fellow!
As for Wu Fa and the thirty thousand Imperial Guards, when they clearly saw the woman's face.
They were instantly dumbfounded!
This—this was!
Wu Fa rubbed his eyes to confirm he wasn't seeing things.
Because he saw that the woman appearing before them was none other than the God of War of the Northern Territory of Long Country!
The God of War of the Northern Territory, Long Aoxue!
The woman who stood on equal footing with the God of War Dongfang, guarding the northern territory of Long Country!
Why on earth would she appear here?!
Beyond shock, the thirty thousand Imperial Guards stared with wide, unblinking eyes.
The legendary frost-beauty God of War of the Northern Territory truly lived up to her reputation!
Previously they could only see her in photographs, but now they finally got to witness her true beauty in person!
Such a gorgeous woman actually existed in reality!
The corners of Long Aoxue's lips lifted into a faint smile.
This charming smile was, of course, meant solely for the single man standing before her!
She lifted her feet and walked straight toward Ye Chen.
At that moment, Ye Chen finally snapped out of his daze.
Watching this peerless beauty approach, he couldn't help feeling a trace of nervousness.
Because not only was this woman of peerless beauty, she also carried a powerful natural aura!
Furthermore, Ye Chen discovered that the aura emanating from this beauty was very familiar!
It shared the same origin as his own martial arts!
He had roughly guessed the identity of this beauty!
"Little brother, why are you still standing there in a daze?"
"You know who I am now, right?"
Long Aoxue walked right up to Ye Chen's ear and whispered softly.
Her breath smelled like orchids, full of gentleness.
Completely different from that domineering voice a moment before!
A unique fragrance drifted into Ye Chen's nostrils.
Refreshing his spirit and invigorating his mind!
"Senior Sister!"
Ye Chen replied softly as well.
Though his voice was very quiet, it was filled with excitement!
He knew that the stunning woman before him was his Senior Sister!
Though they had never met in person!
Because he had entered the sect relatively late, he hadn't crossed paths with several senior sisters who had left the mountain early.
"My, my little junior brother is really wonderful."
"Leave the rest of this to me to handle."
"Once I've dealt with these annoying pests, the two of us can get properly acquainted!"
Long Aoxue smiled happily and with satisfaction.
It was good that this little brother of hers knew she was his senior sister.
She had lowered her voice when speaking because her identity was rather special, and she didn't want outsiders to know their relationship.
"Mmm, I understand."
Ye Chen nodded, playing along very obediently.
He could feel that this senior sister of his was extremely strong.
The pretty woman who had accompanied the God of War of the Northern Territory was named Xia Yan.
One of her identities was the War General's personal assistant.
At that moment, Xia Yan stared fixedly at Ye Chen with a smile plastered across her face.
The Dragon God's little junior brother was literally dozens of times more handsome in person than in his photos!
She started fangirling right on the spot!
Dragon God was the respectful title her subordinates used for Long Aoxue!
Inside the villa, seeing this scene, Lin Ruoyi's face was filled with astonishment.
She was very curious about who these two stunning women who had suddenly appeared actually were.
And why did they seem so close to Ye Chen?
After exchanging a few simple words with her junior brother, Long Aoxue turned around and swept her gaze across the vast sea of people before her.
The smile on her stunning face instantly vanished.
Replaced by a freezing, ice-mountain countenance radiating absolute arrogance.
"You."
"Do you know who I am?"
Long Aoxue looked coldly at Wu Fa and asked indifferently.
"I—I know!"
"You are the God of War of the Northern Territory, how could I not know!"
"My name is Wu Fa, a War General under the God of War Dongfang, paying my respects to the God of War of the Northern Territory!"
Caught in his shock, Wu Fa snapped back to reality and hurriedly smiled to ingratiate himself as he answered.
The majesty of the God of War of the Northern Territory made him completely dare not meet her gaze!
He was terrified that by looking a moment too long, he would commit sacrilege against this God of War and incur her wrath!
"It's good that you know who I am."
"Now, tell all these people of yours to get lost immediately!"
Long Aoxue commanded coldly.
Chapter 37: I'll Give You Thirty Seconds to Get Lost with Everyone
"Ah?"
"This..."
Wu Fa froze, completely at a loss.
He had no idea what the God of War of the Northern Territory meant by this.
