Chapter 417 - What Was Going on With His Look of Vanity?

“So, have you thought it through?” sneered Ye Qianhe in a tone full of impatience.

The emperor’s heart shuddered. Just at this extremely critical and urgent moment, a crisp, pleasant sound suddenly rang out, “Yo, uncle. Long time no see.” These words were spoken by none other than Ling Chuxi.

Without knowing why, when Ling Chuxi addressed Ye Qianhe by loudly calling him an uncle, Baili Han shuddered. ‘Uncle’ was obviously a respectful form of address in most cases, but why did it sound as though there was some ridicule to it when Ling Chuxi shouted out those words to Ye Qianhe? Oh, if I recall correctly, previously when she was teasing Wu Feng Hall’s Ren Youran, didn’t she also call him this? I think I’m not remembering things wrongly, right?’ thought Baili Han to himself, in the midst of recalling events of past seriously.

“Hmph, so you are finally willing to appear, Ling Chuxi. If you hadn’t, this place would have turned into a mass grave,” Ye Qianhe said with another sneer, his tone full of viciousness.

“Aiyaya, don’t be so angry, uncle. All the wrinkles by the corners of your eyes seemed to multiply even more when you’re angry,” laughed Ling Chuxi as she waved her hand.

Ye Qianhe was stunned and subconsciously touched the corners of his own eyes. He knew that he was being teased again when he saw Ling Chuxi guffawing.

“Ling Chuxi, I will shred you into ten thousand pieces today!” roared Ye Qianhe. He was so angry that smoke could almost be seen coming out from his ears as he shouted angrily.

“I have heard this so many times that even my ears are tired of hearing it. I think the last time you said this, the outcome was that, oh, that you were sent flying with a single slap. How was that experience? Did the sensation of flying make you feel like your mind has been broadened and you have become more open-minded?” asked Ling Chuxi with a smile.

“Ling Chuxi! I’m going to kill you!” bellowed Ye Qianhe. Ling Chuxi had hit Ye Qianhe’s sore spot and caused his ageing face to turn red with rage. That slap was the biggest humiliation of his entire life. Furthermore, he couldn’t forgive the fact that she had said it aloud in front of so many people. Without even needing to mention his ruined reputation, he was already burning with shame on the inside! He leapt to attack with his fingers clawed forward in the direction of Ling Chuxi’s head.

Ling Chuxi had long since been prepared for an attack. The spiral Battle Qi which she had silently generated had accumulated and combined with the Turning Cloud Gesture emitted from her body. The mighty aura it emitted was very suppressive.

Both Ye Qianhe’s and Ling Chuxi’s attacking palms met forcefully and the impact caused Ling Chuxi to take over ten steps backwards and her face turned slightly pale. Her own attack consisted of accumulated Great Fulfilment Pinnacle Stage Battle Qi and yet she was still unable to gain an advantage. There was no doubt that this old pervert’s cultivation was already at the realm of True Essence.

Ye Qianhe did not manage to successfully kill her and gently floated back to the ground instead, but he did not try to attack her again. Rather, he first looked at Ling Chuxi in surprise and then… his gaze slowly changed to delight before turning into admiration and morphing into a vain look. Ling Chuxi looked at the sudden changes in Ye Qianhe’s gaze with her eyes popped open and mouth agape. This fella’s range of gazes from surprise to delight to admiration was within her understanding. He was merely surprised at her cultivation improvement. His delight and admiration were also understandable, as it could be reckoned that he had a so called “love for talent”. However, was there anyone who could explain to her what was going on with the look of vanity in Ye Qianhe’s eyes?!

“Not bad, not bad at all. Truly there is a person whom I have found worthy.” Ye Qianhe happily looked at Ling Chuxi as the vanity in his eyes appeared even more obnoxiously. “I do indeed possess a unique perception for talent. Within such a short period of time, you have actually improved so much.”

All right, great. So she found out what was going on with the vain look in Ye Qianhe’s eyes! He could even say such words without shame. He really was a character who had reached a realm of not caring about his reputation at all!

He spoke such words as if Ling Chuxi’s improvement was due to his appreciation. Also, wasn’t the sentence, “Truly there is a person whom I have found worthy,” a little too vulgar?
