Chapter 1099 Master, You Finally Came Out

"Okay, you've had enough fun, isn't it time to become my disciple???"

The Divine Emperor Qinghao stood on the bluestone at the edge of the cliff. A corner of his black robe with golden patterns was lifted up by the breeze from the mountains, and the hem of his robe swept across the gravel on the ground, making a slight rustling sound.

He deliberately put his hands behind his back. There were still faint red bloodstains on his knuckles from the spiritual power he had just used when fighting with the two girls. His fingertips were even trembling uncontrollably.

Although the combined skills of Youruo and Xie Purou were shattered by his palm, his meridians were also injured. At this moment, he felt a dull pain when he exerted a little force.

But this "standing with hands behind the back" posture, coupled with the half-smile on the corner of his mouth, does give him the composure of a hermit.

Anyone who saw him would think that he was doing it with ease, and there was no sign that his hands were injured.

His gaze swept across Youruo and Xie Purou, with a hint of certainty in his eyes.

In his opinion, the two girls were still young. Although their strength was not weak, they were still a little immature. They were easily suppressed by him when they joined forces just now. They must be desperate at this moment.

As long as we add more fuel to the fire, it is only a matter of time before they become my disciples.

What's more, he was sure that the so-called master would not show up, because if he really cared about his disciples, why would he let them be forced into this situation?

Youruo's fingertips tightly grasped the black jade pendant on her waist. At this moment, the coolness of the jade pendant came through her fingertips, but it could not suppress the anxiety surging in her heart.

She looked up at the Divine Emperor Qinghao, her brows furrowed into a "川" shape, her eyes full of resistance.

Become a disciple? Absolutely impossible!

But just now, the two of them had just joined forces to cast a powerful spell, but were shattered by the opponent's casual palm. Even their immortal power was almost forced to backfire in their meridians. At this moment, their arms were still slightly numb. If they really fought again, they would be no match at all.

This feeling of powerlessness made her feel a little aggrieved, and even a little angry—angry that she wasn't strong enough, and even more angry that her master hadn't shown up yet.

Xie Pu Rou was more straightforward than Youruo. Her little mouth was pouting so much that it could hold an oil bottle. She put her hands on her hips and stared at the Qing Hao Shen Huang with her almond-shaped eyes. She looked like an angry little beast.

But she couldn't stop muttering in her heart, even complaining with a certainty: "Master, that bastard! He must be hiding somewhere watching! Maybe he's in that old pine tree over there, or behind the clouds, just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves, thinking this is some kind of stupid training!"

She knew Ye Chen's temperament too well.

Master must have regarded this experience as a test for them. Maybe Master is nearby observing their every move.

She believed that Master did it on purpose!

"Master! If you don't come out soon, I will never pick the cloud and mist tea from the cliff for you again!"

Youruo couldn't help it and started shouting in all directions.

Her voice was filled with a hint of grievance, and even the fingers holding the jade pendant were trembling slightly. "I really don't want to pay attention to you anymore! I don't want to massage your back and feet anymore!!!"

Her shouts echoed all around, but there was still only the sound of the wind and the particularly harsh laughter of the Qinghao Divine Emperor.

"Hahaha! Your Master?"

Qing Hao Divine Emperor laughed so hard that he collapsed backward, his laughter shaking the surrounding grass leaves slightly. "I'm afraid he has already run away along the mountain road! In my opinion, he doesn't care about you at all. He may have already regarded you as abandoned pawns!"

He paused deliberately, his gaze fixed on the two girls' suddenly pale faces, and the allure in his tone deepened. "Why don't you learn from me? I'm going to teach you the 'Haotian Divine Light,' a technique passed down from ancient times. It's a hundred times more powerful than his meager spiritual power!"

"You've just witnessed my strength. Follow me, and in a few years, you'll be ten times stronger than you are now! By then, will you have anything you want?"

He was sure that the two girls would be moved - which cultivator didn't want to become stronger?

What's more, they are now desperate, and the conditions I offer are undoubtedly the best choice.

"Don't be so proud!"

Xie Pu Rou retorted with her neck stiffened, her face full of dissatisfaction, her cheeks flushed red. "Wait till my Master comes out, and you won't even have time to fart, you won't even have time to run! My Master is amazing!!!"

"Oh? Then I'll have to wait and see."

Emperor Qinghao raised his eyebrows and simply took two steps back, leaning against a huge rock engraved with vague runes. His hands were still behind his back, but his fingertips quietly pressed on the injured joints, trying to relieve the dull pain.

He wanted to see whether the master these two girls were talking about would come and how powerful he was.

If they really dare to come, we can solve it all at once to avoid trouble in the future!

If he didn't come, then the two girls would completely give up the idea and would have no choice but to obediently worship him as their master.

He had even begun to think about how to train these two girls and make them his right-hand men.

"I want to see how capable your master, who has been so late in showing up, is."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the tone of Emperor Qinghao, but his eyes inadvertently swept across the surrounding environment, and he was secretly alert.

Although he was conceited, he was not careless. After all, the person who could teach those two girls should not be too weak.

As soon as he finished speaking, a very faint white light suddenly appeared in the air.

It was not the common morning mist in the mountains, but a halo of warm spiritual power, like a layer of thin gauze, quietly condensing beside Youruo and Xie Purou.

The halo was just a wisp at first, as thin as a silk thread. In the blink of an eye, it gradually became thicker and larger, and finally turned into a figure in white.

The hem of his clothes swayed gently in the wind, his black hair was tied up with a simple white jade hairpin, and even the bits of grass stuck to the toes of his shoes looked somewhat casual. If it wasn't Ye Chen, who else could it be?

"Master!!!"

The two girls cried out almost simultaneously, their previously tense faces instantly falling, their eyes reddening. All their strength, all their refusal to accept, turned into grievance the moment they saw the figure in white.

Xie Purou was the first to rush over, raised her pink little fist, and gently hit Ye Chen's arm, but the force was so light that it felt like a tickle.

She herself didn't even realize how much dependence was in that fist as it landed. "Damn Master! Were you here a long time ago? Were you just hiding nearby, watching us being bullied, and not worried at all?!"

Youruo also came over quickly, her nose red, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice full of obvious grievance: "If you had come a step later, we would have been kidnapped! You don't really want to see your two good disciples being bullied, do you?!"

As she spoke, tears almost fell from her eyes, but the fingers that were clutching Ye Chen's sleeves rubbed them gently, as if to confirm that the person in front of her was real and not an illusion.

She felt angry and aggrieved. She was angry that her master came late, and she felt aggrieved that she was almost forced to become his disciple. But she felt more at ease.

Now that Master has arrived, they will be safe.

Ye Chen lowered his head and looked at the two girls who were about to cry. There was no trace of heartache in his eyes, but instead a hint of laughter.

There were tears hanging on Youruo's eyelashes, like peach petals covered with dew. She was obviously very aggrieved, but she was still holding on, refusing to let the tears fall.

Although Xie Pu Rou was "angry", her eyes were shining. Besides feeling aggrieved, she felt more at ease after seeing him.

The look of her being angry and aggrieved, yet unable to help but rely on him, is very cute.

He recalled watching the two of them join forces to fight against the Qinghao Divine Emperor in the dark. Although they seemed immature, they were quite capable. He was actually satisfied in his heart, which meant that the training he had done recently was not in vain.

"Okay, okay, I'm late."

Ye Chen couldn't help laughing. He reached out and took the two girls into his arms. He gently patted their backs with his palms, and his voice was particularly gentle.

He said, "Just now, when I saw you two teaming up to break the attack on the mountaintop, I thought you could hold on for a while longer. Seeing how much progress you've made recently, I didn't expect you to give up so soon. You even learned to throw tantrums with me."

A wisp of warm spiritual power quietly gathered at his fingertips, slowly seeping into their bodies along their backs.

The spiritual power carried a faint fragrance of grass and trees, like a drizzle in spring, gently soothing the meridians that had just been injured by the Qinghao Divine Emperor, and even the numbness in the arm gradually dissipated.

Youruo wanted to complain a few more times, but when she felt the familiar warmth, she swallowed the words back and just leaned a little closer into his arms, rubbing her nose against his collar. The reassuring breath made her feel relieved instantly.

She muttered softly, "Who told you to come so late... Don't do that next time."

Xie Pu Rou was so coaxed into losing her temper by these two sweet words that she buried her head in Ye Chen's clothes and said sullenly, "Then you must not hide and watch next time! If you want to watch, you must come out when we are about to lose! Also, don't make us wait so long next time!"

"Okay, next time I won't hide, and I won't make you wait so long."

Ye Chen responded with a smile, reached out and rubbed the two girls' hair, his gaze passed over their heads and fell on the Qinghao Divine Emperor in the distance. The smile in his eyes faded instantly, replaced by a subtle coldness.

Emperor Qinghao, who was in the distance, looked at Ye Chen who suddenly appeared, and his first reaction was a surge of anger in his heart.

He didn't expect that the master these two girls talked about would actually dare to show up and comfort his disciple so intimately in front of him. They simply didn't take him seriously!

He had just said so many sarcastic words. If he just let the other party take the person away, where would he put his face?

If this gets out, people will think that he is even afraid of the two girls’ master!

This was a great humiliation for him.

But as soon as the anger arose, it was suppressed by a sudden chill.

Because, when Ye Chen appeared just now, he didn't notice anything at all!

Does this mean that this person has been hiding nearby, but I didn't have any warning signs at all?

If that's the case, how strong is this person? I'm afraid he must be much stronger than me, right?

But he thought again and felt that something was not right.

Even if this person is stronger than himself, it is absolutely impossible for him to hide his aura 100% and stay in the dark without coming out.

It was more likely that the other party was hiding far away, making it impossible for him to detect him. Then, when the two girls could no longer hold on, he would use some kind of privacy method to appear beside them.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high!

Emperor Qinghao has always been confident in his own strength and doesn't believe that anyone could hide under his nose for so long without being discovered.

The other party must have been hiding far away, using secret techniques to block his perception, and then suddenly appeared when the time was right!

This thought made him feel a little relieved, but to be able to achieve this level of concealment or teleportation, the other party's cultivation should not be underestimated.

"Are you the master of these two little girls? I don't think you're that great. I am the Qinghao Divine Emperor, and today I want to accept these two little girls as my disciples. You'd better hand them over to me, otherwise, it will only waste their talents!!!"

Emperor Qinghao spoke slowly to Ye Chen.

Seeing that he was still confident at this time, Ye Chen was speechless.

This person really has no sense of judgment, right? Does he really think he's so powerful?

However, considering that Qinghao Divine Emperor had served as a sparring partner for a while, Ye Chen had no intention of truly pursuing his guilt. He had just been observing from the shadows, and it could be said that he was the one who instigated this trial, allowing the two little girls to fight against a true Divine Emperor.

Increase their experience.

To put it bluntly, the other party is just a guinea pig of his own. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard.

Ye Chen has never been an extremely stingy person, and for the time being he has no plans to take the life of Emperor Qinghao.

So he said, "Considering your hard work, I will leave now. I will forgive your disrespectful words just now."

Hearing his words, Emperor Qinghao burst into laughter.

"You? You're letting bygones be bygones with me? Hahahaha!!!"

He laughed quite impudently, and was full of sarcasm towards Ye Chen, "I admit that you do have some strength, and you must be a strong man!"

"But what qualifications do you have to speak to me as someone superior? With that face full of pity, do you really think you can completely control me?!"

Emperor Qinghao squinted his eyes, full of disdain for what Ye Chen had just said.

He admitted that Ye Chen must have some strength, and was very likely to be on par with himself, both of them were strong.

But even if he is on par with me, so what?

This doesn't mean that the other party can completely defeat you, nor does it mean that you should just admit defeat and run away in shame!

"Today, I must compete with you! Let these two little girls see who is more qualified to be their master!!!"

Emperor Qinghao spoke in an arrogant tone and loud voice, and was full of fighting spirit when facing Ye Chen.

As he finished speaking, the power in his body began to emanate faintly, forming a terrifying pressure around him, and crushing towards Ye Chen!

This is the most direct provocation to Ye Chen!

He felt that between the strong, strength should speak!

But what he didn't know was that he could have escaped the disaster and saved his life. In the end, because of his arrogance, he ended up in a dead end!
