Chương 643: Chapter 642: Ye Chen's Only Fit to Pull a Cart!

"Rebellious disciple!" Gu Yunyun spat, wishing this master-defying disciple would leave soon. Yet, her heart ached with reluctance. The two months in the small world were her life's happiest. Ye Chen loved when she called him "rebellious disciple." Especially when she gripped the Immortal Peach Tree, its branches shaking, petals falling on her back, biting her lip as she cursed him. This stirred a heart demon in Ye Chen, who'd been ready to leave. He decided to stay two and a half months.

In Luo Bingling's incredulous gaze, he pulled his master back toward the cave.

"Oh, Master, I forgot to teach you a simple, direct sword intent. I'm not leaving yet…" Gu Yunyun's eyes widened. Not leaving? She didn't want to go back. But a mere Unity-stage cultivator, how could she resist? Helplessly, she was dragged inside. Luo Bingling, thinking she could finally leave, stared at the closing cave door, questioning life. Ye Chen was endless, wasn't he? Not cultivating? While everyone chased immortality, drilling into the Immortal Path, he dove into a cave?

Her vertical pupil trembled, purple hair wild, as if she'd blast Gu Yunyun's cave open with divine light. But, mindful of her goal, she held back.

"They'll all die! When I become immortal, I'll kill the divine son, then Ye Chen, then Gu Yunyun—all must die!" … Two and a half months passed. Ye Chen was finally leaving the Sword Sect. Gu Yunyun escorted him beyond the gate array. Ignoring the Sword Sect ancestor, Ye Chen didn't bother with farewells. He gazed at his master, reluctant. Their connection was profound. He'd poured out his sword Dao insights. She'd repaid him generously, leaving the Star Pool scented with peach blossoms.

"Master, I'm really leaving this time!" Gu Yunyun nodded, silent, fearing he'd stay. Not because she wanted him gone. She didn't want him to delay cultivation or immortality for her. Only one could ascend this generation. She hoped it was Ye Chen. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Luo Bingling, nearby, rolled her eyes, fists clenched. If Ye Chen stayed another half-month, she'd lose it and blast the cave apart. But this time, he didn't stay.

His master needed to break through. As Ye Chen turned to leave, a sage-like figure descended. The faint Saint aura marked the Sword Sect ancestor. Ye Chen subtly rolled his eyes, ignoring him. If not for this old man's meddling, one Dugu Wooden Sword would've brought his master with him. She didn't want to face other women? No issue. With the Dao Cauldron in his small world, she could cultivate there. He'd see her clinging to the Peach Immortal Tree daily. The more he thought, the angrier he got.

First time he felt a gift was a loss. The ancestor, seeing Ye Chen, smiled.

"Fourth Holy Son leaving? Cultivate well!" Less warm than before, he didn't urge Ye Chen to stay. Then he turned to Gu Yunyun.

"Yunyun, a Fellow Daoist found a sea eye in the Endless Sea, perfect for Unity to Mahayana breakthroughs. It doubles efficiency and offers other benefits. He has no heirs, so I bought the info at great cost. You're ready—come with me! I'll guard your breakthrough, ensuring no issues! Oh, have you prepared your Law Qi? I got you one with sixty-eight laws from a Fellow Daoist in Central Continent…" Gu Yunyun was stunned. A Saint guarding her breakthrough? What treatment was this?

He even went to Central Continent for Law Qi. Overwhelmed, she shook her head.

"Ancestor, I have Law Qi for my Dao foundation." Actually, Immortal Qi from Ye Chen. The ancestor nodded, unsurprised.

"From the fourth Holy Son, no doubt. He's too good to you. Only the best, no grievances or discomfort." Gu Yunyun lowered her head. Ye Chen was good. But grievances and discomfort? Plenty. Back at Green Cloud Sect's Sword Peak, he wasn't so… creative. Must've learned from Heavenly Desire Sect women. Ye Chen was shocked. He was only a half-Saint guardian. A Saint ancestor guarding his master? Finding a sea eye? He gave a thumbs-up. Old ginger's spicy. Well played. Next time, another ginseng fruit.

The ancestor's actions eased Ye Chen's heart. He smiled at his master, summoning his bronze war chariot to leave. Luo Bingling, long impatient, exhaled. Her golden armor glowed, highlighting her snowy skin, radiant navel, and sleek mermaid lines. She boldly boarded Ye Chen's chariot. To her, Ye Chen, a typical man, had ignored her for the thrill of his new master. After two and a half months, he'd grown bored and was ready to leave. Now, he'd focus on her. Once the time was right, she'd get anything she wanted.

So, boarding was no big deal. She'd take the Dao Cauldron and this chariot. Its killing aura suited her, like a war Divine Maiden. Ye Chen, a mere human, wasn't fit to ride with her. He'd pull the chariot as her driver.

"This is the Heavenly Emperor's chariot? Not an Extreme Dao Weapon?" Luo Bingling, loving the chariot, claimed it mentally but frowned at its grade. Ye Chen, waving fondly at his master, turned, frowning at this alien woman. Too familiar! What did she want? Was she after compensation because the Heavenly Emperor killed War God Clan members?
