Chapter 2243: Chapter 2243: Hate Me?
"You’re really biting the hand that feeds you!" Ye Haochuan’s heart lurched and he hurriedly jumped back.
But with Le Yao’s Cultivation at True Immortal Mid-Stage and the two of them so close, Ye Haochuan couldn’t dodge at all and was instantly seized by the neck.
If Ye Haochuan fought with all his strength, using the might of the Taichi Domain, taking on a True Immortal Mid-Stage wouldn’t be much of a problem. If he added a Formation on top of that, he could even put up a fight against a True Immortal Late Stage.
Unfortunately, he was completely off guard at this moment, and hadn’t activated the Taichi Domain at all, so naturally he couldn’t compare to Le Yao.
"You bastard, do you know how much you’ve taken advantage of me these past few days? How could I possibly let you off?" Le Yao said viciously.
"Worst case, I’ll let you take all that advantage back. Go on, you want to look at the top or the bottom? Pick whatever you like!" Ye Haochuan said with a grin.
Le Yao’s pretty face flushed red. She snorted lightly. "You’re about to die and you’re still trying to cop a feel. Who wants to look at you?"
"What do you mean ’about to die’? A man as handsome, suave, and well‑built as me—I don’t believe you can bear to kill me!" Ye Haochuan looked utterly defiant.
"You..." Seeing that Ye Haochuan wouldn’t listen no matter what she said, Le Yao was so angry she started stomping her feet.
Of course she couldn’t actually kill Ye Haochuan. No matter what, he was the one who had saved her, kept her from being bought and ravaged by some spoiled young master. And just now, Ye Haochuan had helped her undo the Seal and restore her Cultivation—how could she repay kindness with hatred?
She’d actually just wanted to make Ye Haochuan suffer a bit to vent the anger in her chest, but who knew that not only did he refuse to yield, he was getting increasingly shameless with his teasing.
After struggling with herself for a bit, she finally admitted defeat, throwing Ye Haochuan to the ground with a heavy thud, then turning away to sulk on her own.
Damn, when a pretty person gets angry, even that is this nice to look at!
Ye Haochuan quietly watched Le Yao’s slightly angry, slightly pouting expression, secretly delighted.
"Let me out!" He didn’t know how long it had been when Le Yao’s expression returned to normal. She spoke coldly to Ye Haochuan.
"What? Still planning to go out there and ram head‑on into the Gu Family?" Ye Haochuan looked up and said.
"My hatred with the Gu Family is as deep as the sea. How could I possibly give up so easily?" Le Yao said, eyes firm.
"Didn’t you say you regretted not finding a good place to do Cultivation before, breaking through first and then settling the score with the Gu Family? You’ve already forgotten the pain now that your scars have healed?" Ye Haochuan shot back.
"Even if I want to cultivate, I still have to get out first, right? The Flower Energy here is so scarce it’s basically non‑existent. What am I supposed to use to break through?" Le Yao said irritably.
Damn, now she’s even complaining? This is literally the safest place there is, okay?
Ye Haochuan curled his lip but didn’t keep trying to stop her. Instead he said, "If we go out now, we’ll still be in Gu Dewei’s room. You don’t have an Invisibility Ability, so you’ll be exposed the moment you come out. Let me go out first and find a suitable place, then I’ll let you out."
Le Yao nodded calmly.
Ye Haochuan’s mind stirred and he was just about to leave the Minor World when he suddenly thought of a problem.
"Right, Minor Worlds might be rare, but it’s not impossible that that old bastard Gu Dewei has seen them before. He might know I can only come out from there. What if he’s lying in wait at that spot?"
At this thought, cold sweat broke out down Ye Haochuan’s back.
If he hadn’t realized this now and just went out, he really might have died without a burial place.
"If he wants to ambush me, a Formation would be the best choice. That old bastard’s Formation skills aren’t weak. Even if he can’t completely trap and kill me, as long as he can hinder me for a split second, he can use his overwhelming strength to wipe me out in one go."
How can I leave quietly without being affected by the Array?
Ye Haochuan fell into deep thought.
If he wanted to break an Array, he’d still need a sliver of time. With Gu Dewei’s speed, that sliver would be more than enough to kill him.
"Right, that old bastard wanted to use the Xuan Pin Pearl to break the Array earlier. That means this Xuan Pin Pearl should have some Array‑breaking effect besides serving as an Array Token, right?" Ye Haochuan guessed.
Then his mind moved and he set up a small town‑grade Array, took out the Xuan Pin Pearl, and stepped into it.
Crack, crack~
As soon as the Xuan Pin Pearl entered, every baseline of this small Grade‑One Array was clearly imprinted into his mind, and even the array core was plainly visible.
On that array core was a thin water‑ripple light screen. Ye Haochuan blasted it with Flower Energy, and the light screen shattered instantly. Right after, the Xuan Pin Pearl flashed with flowing light, and Ye Haochuan immediately felt that this Formation could now be freely controlled by him as he wished.
Ye Haochuan was wild with joy and immediately set up a Grade‑Two Array to test it.
Again, there was a light screen over the array core, only this time the light screen was much stronger. Ye Haochuan had to spend quite a bit of effort to finally shatter it. Right after, this Array also fell completely under his control.
"What an incredible item!" Ye Haochuan was overjoyed.
This Xuan Pin Pearl seemed to be an extremely domineering Array Token that could substitute for the original Array Token of any Array—of course, only if you could break the light screen.
The strength of that light screen was roughly on par with the Array’s grade, except he didn’t have to wrestle with any special properties of the Array itself. He just needed to use his strongest single strike to shatter the light screen, and then he could make someone else’s painstakingly constructed Array work for him.
"Talk about a pillow showing up when you’re dozing off. With this Xuan Pin Pearl, let’s see what that old Gu bastard can do to me." Ye Haochuan chuckled.
"Look at how happy you are. Gone stupid?" Le Yao mocked from the side.
"Yeah, someone’s definitely going to be stupid—but it sure isn’t me. In a bit, that old dog Gu Dewei is the one who’ll be dumbfounded!" Ye Haochuan smirked.
Le Yao frowned. "I think you really have gone stupid. With how terrifying Gu Dewei’s strength is, if you really run into him, you’re the one who’ll be dumbfounded."
"Tch, pity you won’t get to see it. Otherwise you’d definitely be conquered by my heroics and obediently fall to your knees beneath my jeans." Ye Haochuan said with a look of regret.
"Keep bragging." Le Yao said with open disdain.
Ye Haochuan suddenly thought of something, the corner of his mouth curling up in a faint smile.
"Forget it, I’ll let you witness it then. Otherwise you’ll really think I’m just talking big."
"What do you mean..."
Le Yao hadn’t quite processed it yet when, all of a sudden, she felt the surroundings change. The sea of herbs vanished and she was now in a room.
Not far in front of her, an old man who’d been meditating suddenly opened his eyes, a ghostly vicious light shining in them.
"Gu Dewei, what’s going on?" Le Yao was scared so badly her soul almost flew out of her body.
She’d only just had her Seal broken and her strength restored, finally getting another chance at revenge. Now she was about to fall back into Gu Dewei’s hands. If that happened, there would be nothing waiting for her but death.
"That damned Ye Haochuan, if this great‑aunt dies, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!" Le Yao cursed in her heart, then prepared to risk everything to escape.
But in the next instant, she fell into despair.
She felt as if the space around her had turned into a quagmire, making every movement painfully slow. And the moment she appeared, countless blades and swords of light had manifested all around her, now all lashing toward her.
"I’m dead for sure!" Le Yao clenched her silver teeth and snarled, "Ye Haochuan, I hate you!"
"Hate me? I bust my ass to save you and you’re not moved enough to give yourself to me—instead you hate me?" Ye Haochuan’s chuckling voice suddenly sounded right next to her ear.
