“How? Surprised?” Ye Chu smiled at Bai Xuan. His gaze could not help lingering for a moment on her alluring, voluptuous figure, so full of seductive charm. His heart beat faster. This woman’s beauty had already transcended mere prettiness.
Seeing that Ye Chu and Bai Xuan seemed to know each other, Huang Yong’an frowned in displeasure. “If Miss Bai Xuan no longer wishes to make this trade, then Huang will take his leave!”
“Wait…” Bai Xuan said quickly, ignoring Ye Chu for the moment. “Please treat my father!”
“That is more sensible!” Huang Yong’an laughed. “Then come with me. Once I have what I want, I will certainly cure your father!”
Seeing Bai Xuan bite her lip and prepare to follow him, Ye Chu suddenly laughed. “You really want to go with a fraud? You might regret it later!”
Bai Xuan’s steps halted abruptly. She turned to Ye Chu, waiting for an explanation.
Stared at by those bright, beautiful eyes, Ye Chu answered her doubt. “Do you truly believe these quacks can remove the murderous aura from your father’s body?”
The words caused Huang Yong’an’s expression to change dramatically. He could not help shouting, “Where did this mad boy come from, spouting nonsense here? Get out at once, or do not blame Huang for dealing with you personally!”
Ye Chu completely ignored the rebuke and pointed at the man lying on the bed. “Let him touch your father’s body and try probing with true qi. See if he dares.”
Bai Xuan looked suspiciously at Huang Yong’an. He panicked and avoided her gaze. How could she not understand now? He could not treat her father at all!
“You court death!” Seeing Bai Xuan glare at him with hatred, Huang Yong’an knew his scheme was exposed. He resented Ye Chu deeply. Murderous aura invasion was extremely dangerous. Let alone him, even court alchemists could not save this man. He had boasted only to obtain Bai Xuan. But everything had been ruined by this suddenly appearing youth.
“What? Ashamed into anger already? No wonder. You are so desperate for a woman that your hormones are severely imbalanced. Losing control of your temper is only natural!” Ye Chu smiled at Huang Yong’an, still ignoring his rage.
“Huang indeed cannot treat him! So what? But can you find anyone else who can? I can at least prolong your father’s life by a few days! If I do not act, he will not survive the night!” Huang Yong’an snorted, suppressing his anger as he looked at Bai Xuan. “If you agree to my terms, you will at least have time to find someone else. There might still be a chance. If you refuse, your father dies tonight!”
Bai Xuan’s heart sank to the depths. Huang Yong’an was the best alchemist in the area, nearly invited to the palace. That was why, despite knowing he was scum, Bai Xuan had still called him. If even he could not treat her father, who could? Where could she find someone in such short time?
“Boastful! Who do you think you are? With such pitiful skill, you still dare to shout here!” Pang Shao sneered, shifting his gaze from Bai Xuan. Excitement filled him. Coming to Yao City had not been in vain. He could meet such a sensual, mature beauty. Yao City truly produced stunning women!
“And who are you to criticise Huang!” Huang Yong’an glared furiously at Pang Shao and cursed.
Who was Pang Shao? Even the king of Yao treated him politely! How could he tolerate curses from such a person? “This young master will teach you how to behave today! And show you who I am!”
Pang Shao’s angry shout made Huang Yong’an scoff. Though only an alchemist, he had entered the cultivation path, reaching the lower grade of the first realm, Refining the Primordial Spirit. True Qi Realm triple layer. Such strength was already admired by many. Few young people in Yao City matched it.
Seeing Pang Shao prepare to attack, Huang Yong’an felt utter disdain.
Ye Chu also disliked Huang Yong’an. Watching Pang Shao about to explode, Ye Chu said calmly, “Some people do need a proper lesson. Being scum and failing so badly at it would embarrass our circle if word got out.”
Pang Shao agreed wholeheartedly and nodded vigorously.
“Oh, right! This fellow looks exaggeratedly ugly, and his facial resolution is too low. At first glance he is ugly, at second even more so. Remember to be gentle later. Help him get remodelled. I cannot stand fat people. Beat him a bit slimmer!” Ye Chu did not forget to remind Pang Shao.
As a fat person himself, Pang Shao nearly exploded with rage. He strongly agreed with the earlier part. But what was wrong with being fat? Did fat people provoke you? Did fat people have no rights? Did you have to despise fat people so much? And how was he supposed to meet the difficult request of beating someone slimmer?
Unable to vent his anger on Ye Chu, Pang Shao naturally redirected it to Huang Yong’an. It was all this guy’s fault for being fat, dragging him into it too!
The other alchemists watched Pang Shao charge at Huang Yong’an and looked at him with pity. Youthful recklessness came at a price. True Qi Realm triple layer could tear apart fierce tigers. With those skinny arms and legs, how could he fare?
Huang Yong’an shared the disdain. But when he met Pang Shao’s seemingly weak punch, his expression changed dramatically. He felt a heavy force strike his chest, and his whole body flew backwards.
Including Bai Xuan, everyone was stunned by the outcome. No matter what, they had not expected this fat youth to be so powerful, heavily injuring a True Qi Realm triple layer expert in one move. In Yao City, young people with such strength could be counted on one hand, yet no one had heard of him.
Amid the crowd’s fear and silence, only Ye Chu smiled as he teased Yao Yao. “Do not be afraid. They are performing a monkey show for you!”
Yao Yao nodded as if she understood, then said innocently, “But there are no monkeys this fat!”
Hearing this, Pang Shao nearly stumbled and fell. Not wanting to hear Ye Chu’s voice, Pang Shao dragged Huang Yong’an out of the room. He wanted to study how to beat someone slimmer!
Huang Yong’an’s utter defeat at Pang Shao’s hands terrified the other alchemists who had followed him. Their expressions filled with horror. Seeing Ye Chu’s gaze sweep towards them, they fled in panic, no longer daring to stay.
“Do not go…” Bai Xuan watched the alchemists leave without a single one remaining. Panic filled her. If they all left, her father would surely die.
“Ye Chu! Tell your friend to stop beating Huang Yong’an, please? I beg you. My father needs him!” Bai Xuan’s eyes were red. She could not watch her father die before her.
“Er! You still believe that quack can treat your father?” Ye Chu looked at the woman before him, now displaying another kind of tragic beauty, and shook his head helplessly.
“What else can I do? I cannot find anyone better!” Bai Xuan shouted.
“Who says you cannot?” Ye Chu said suddenly. “I know someone better!”
“You can find an alchemist? Where?” Bai Xuan’s face lit up with overwhelming joy. Her gaze burned as she stared at Ye Chu, hope shining in her beautiful eyes.
“Far in the horizon, yet close at hand!” Ye Chu shrugged.
Bai Xuan stared at him intently. “It is you!”
Doubt filled Bai Xuan’s eyes. This notorious scum of Yao City, a better alchemist than Huang Yong’an? What a joke?
