Heavenly Star Chapter 161: Take Off Your Mask!

Chapter 161: Take Off Your Mask!

“Interrupting the the Medical a.s.sembly was not my intention. I have other things to attend to, so I dare not to waste my time. All of you elders and this older sister, I will now take my leave.” After speaking, he turned around to leave. The densely packed crowd looked at him, but they stepped aside to clear a path for him to take.

“Ai… Young brother, young brother, please stay… Why do you just leave like that?” Shui Nanhe hurried a few steps forward to pull him back. “You haven’t told me the method you used to heal those two. Today was the first time I saw the technique you used, I haven’t even heard of it before.”

“Yes, this is a secret method, Grandpa Medicine Expert. Do you think I will just simply tell you about it?” Ye Wuchen did not slow his steps, he answered while looking at Ning Xue who was waving her hands at him.

“This… But…”

“Please don’t speak anything further, Grandpa Medicine Expert. You know very well that I have an important matter on hand, I don’t dare waste my time.” Ye Wuchen said.

Shui Nanhe’s tight and nervous face gradually calmed down. He was not a person who did not know how to appreciate favors. For Ye Wuchen to step up to the stage under numerous eyes of the crowd, it was already considered an honor for him. If he continued to nag him like that, not only was it to no avail, but he would be taking advantage of being a senior. Without a choice he could only say, “It’s really my bad. If that’s the case, then I hope you have a pleasant journey ahead and be able to return back safe. If we meet again, I shall make the shameless request for your guidance, hehehehe.”

Ye Wuchen was smiling as he nodded, the crowd separated and he eventually joined with Ning Xue. They quickly got farther away from the crowd as they disappeared from its line of sight.

Shui Nanhe’s eyes were following him all along, then he returned back disappointed and frustrated. Facing old Qin he said, “President Qin, let’s start the Medical a.s.sembly. Oh? Where is the woman in white?”

“A while ago, she left.” President Qin’s gaze hinted at the direction she went.

“Gone?” Shui Nanhe turned his head to look around. He did not see any shadow of Beautiful Woman, so his heart felt a moment of disappointment. He had already achieved his goal of attending this Medical a.s.sembly, even if the woman was not the one he had been looking for, but it did not matter. He had also witnessed some medical skills that could be regarded as miracles. What he extremely regretted was that he still was not able to find out who that woman was, neither was he able to determine the real method that Ye Wuchen used to save those two people. Furthermore, the pills that Ye Wuchen had made them take were evidently the normal oral liniments. As the “Medicine Expert”, of course he knew all the sorts of medicine around the world, so he could determine them easily based on their color and smell.

Returning to the Medical a.s.sembly, Medicine Expert’s thoughts were already dull. In his thoughts he secretly decided that the next time he met Ye Wuchen, even if he were to lose face, he would still insist on asking him for some advice.

……………………………………………………………………………

“Fairy Meng, please stop throwing sneaky glances at me or I might think that you are interested in me.” Ye Wuchen looked forward as he remarked without turning his head.

Meng Zhi fiercely turned away, her face slightly heating up. Softly snorting, she did not try to argue because firstly, she would appear to be lacking confidence and secondly… Arguing with him was simply asking for trouble.

After coming out of Tian Yun City, it was true that she had been stealing glances at Ye Wuchen all along to try to see clearly the man who has been indifferent and easy going the whole time no matter where he was, which made her unable to completely see through him. She was starting to believe that the chances of her success in this mission became more uncertain as time went by. She could only travel with them together towards Yan Long City with gritted teeth.

“Brother, that big sister you competed with, you won, right?” Ning Xue asked.

“En, of course. That big sister must have been caught unprepared.” Ye Wuchen smiled.

“Then where did she go? Didn’t you agree that whoever lost should agree to do one thing? I knew that brother would certainly win.”

“Not just one thing. If she lost, she agreed to two of my requests. Don’t worry, Xue-er, she won’t escape. Not only can’t she escape, she will voluntarily approach us.” Ye Wuchen smiled mysteriously.

Tong Xin leaned her body closer to him, using her hands to softly pull at his sleeves. Ye Wuchen slightly nodded his head, in a low voice he said, “I already know, just ignore her.”

Ye Wuchen knew that Beautiful Woman, who had a plan against him, must be following them from behind, but when he consciously observed, he could not detect her. Tong Xin’s reminder clearly proved that what he expected was right… Beautiful Woman’s strength was indeed very powerful. What sort of mysterious person was she!?

Based on Ye Wuchen’s current strength, to be able to avoid his detection, one needed to be above Spirit-Level, and she could even deliberately conceal her breath from him. This clearly explained that Beautiful Woman possessed a strength more powerful than Spirit-Level. For someone to possess such strength at a young age, he only knew one person—Shui Mengchan. For Shui Mengchan to attain Heaven-Level was no doubt due to the Southern Empire Clan’s practice of “Anointing One’s Head with the Powers of the Heaven and Earth”, or else for a twenty year old person to reach Heaven-Level could only be regarded as ridiculously funny.

So then this woman… Could she be the leader of the Northern Empire Clan? No...

In the sky very high up above, a very attractive woman with snow white dress silently looked at Ye Wuchen’s group of four as they went out of the southern gate of Tian Yun City. Her ordinary face was covered with cold frost, as indifferent as the snow.

She lifted her left hand and on the ring finger, an ice-blue pure and limpid ring released an ice-blue ray of light. The light was weak but enough to be recognizable. She softly mumbled, “It was indeed inside his body… Too bad he is the descendant of Chu Cangming and can’t be killed. My medical skill had unexpectedly failed… Does he really look that simple on the surface?”

She lowered her body and floating forward in the air. Among those with the ability to float in the air within the entire Heavenly Star Continent, there were only less than ten of them.

Outside the city, they proceeded southwards. The wide expanse of flat land transformed into a vast area scattered with green gra.s.s that made it difficult to see the trails. Ye Wuchen did not make effort to distinguish the paths and only relied on the position of the city according to his thoughts as he proceeded southwards. Rain clouds, swamps, rivers, ferocious beasts, mountain ranges… He had met all of them more than once.

Finally, he heard the sound of footsteps that were deliberately grew louder. He turned around grudgingly, and saw Beautiful Woman slowly approach them. He asked a question which he obviously knew the answer to, “How long have you been following us?”

Beautiful Woman gurgled a lovable laugh, shaking with laughter, her white and soft hand covered her mouth and exposed her tender and lovely palm. At every angle, one could clearly see her charming and graceful style. In a voice that felt like it could soothed and itch that was difficult to scratch, “You, little brother, have a very small conscience. You have won, yet you walked away, ignoring me. You are making me sad, but older sister’s soul has been s.n.a.t.c.hed by you, little sweetheart. In the short moment of not seeing you, my heart ache was too difficult to bear that I can only abandon all the things behind and sacrificed myself as I chased after you.”

Meng Zhi rarely went out, her heart was extremely conservative so how could she tolerate such flirty words? She immediately she turned her face away and softly uttered, “Shameless.”

Quite unexpectedly, this voice as soft as the wind was heard by Beautiful Woman whose eyes turned to looking at Meng Zhi who had already turned away. Her lovable laugh immediately transformed into hidden bitterness, “No wonder you little sweetheart despises this older sister. You actually have such an attractive close female friend beside you. Such figure, such manners, and also this face… Even with just half of the face was exposed, it is still so beautiful that even I feel attracted to her. Probably, little brother and this little sister must have enjoyed being together every night, stuck together like glue, how can you tolerate such utterly vulgar older sister like me?”

As she was speaking, her thoughts were similarly exclaiming in admiration. This woman did not reveal her face, her extraordinary personality traits could make people imagine her incomparably beautiful and alluring face. That was the so-called “natural beauty of hibiscus rising out of the water, its beauty engraved by nature.” The pure, natural, and incomparable character was similar to a ripple fairy that came from the deepest part of the starry sky and descended to the human world, extraordinary and refined, yet without the air of seduction.

However, when she looked at Meng Zhi, she inevitably saw Tong Xin as well and her heart violently trembled. A snow white beautiful face, large pupils like marble, clear and transparent pet.i.te body, delicately thin waist, as well as the soft and delicate hands, feet, and shoulders. In addition to the cute black dress with a princess style skirt as well as the groomed beautiful and attractive soft long hair that naturally draped over her shoulders… The girl’s entire appearance was extremely delicate, she looked as adorable as a dancing doll but as fragile as a wild rose in its budding stage. But… Those frightening eyes told her that this wild rose had an extremely poisonous element hidden inside of it, the kind of poison that one felt danger from, it was the brutal and merciless kind despair that terrified any person, totally different from her extremely adorable outer appearance.

Her heart started to shudder. For the first time in her life, she experienced the feeling of being frightened and the one who brought her this feeling was actually this young teenage girl.

Ye Wuchen saw the acute changes in her expression when she looked at Tong Xin, so his thoughts stirred.

Enjoying being together every night, stuck together like glue… Meng Zhi blushed. She was about to berate her using a loud voice, yet she heard Ye Wuchen say, “This older sister, since I’m unable to drive you away, then I’ll just let you be. But you still owe me two requests, do you still remember?”

“I look forward to a favor for my little sweetheart, of course I remember. I didn’t expect little brother to be more anxious than me.” She twisted her waist as she walked in front of Ye Wuchen, her coquettish glances were like water and mist .

Ye Wuchen remained unmoved as he said, “Then, listen up. First, tell me your name. I hope it’s not a fake one, or else…” His expression became strict, “Even if you forever followed behind me, I will never speak to you again!”

“Yi? I thought you are going to spoil me, I didn’t expect you to ask a disappointing question. Then little brother, listen carefully.” She slowly stepped forward, her head leaned forward, her fragrant breath softly striking Ye Wuchen’s face, making him incline backwards. Her eyes were full of pa.s.sion, using her charming voice as affectionate as the wind, she replied, “My name is Xue. Fei. Yan. Can you remember it?”

The dubious posture had confused Ye Wuchen’s mind as he was slightly restraining himself. Nodding, he smiled and said, “Xue Feiyan, a very nice name… No wonder you also have extraordinary medical skills.”

Beautiful Woman gurgled a lovable laugh, “Oh, how can my medical skills be compared to yours? Oh? How is my name related to my medical skills?”

How was it not? Feiyan, if you p.r.o.nounced them with emphasis, it sounded like pneumonia. Was it because her pneumonia during her childhood days was difficult to treat so she studied medicine?

[note: yes, he explains his own joke, it’s a really bad joke too.]

He did not say the words out out loud, and he also did not answer her question. Instead, he continued, “My second request…” His eyes s.h.i.+fted until his gaze was directly fixed on her neck, “Take off your mask!”
