Chapter 1222: The Little Girl

This bell is excellent!This sword is top-notch!There's even San Cai Xian Shi!

Inside the Man Zu tribe's treasury, Ye Chen was completely unrestrained, carrying a large hemp sack that was a spacious Qian Kun bag. He swept away pile after pile, acting as if he owned the place.

Man Xiong's mouth twitched. Unable to watch any longer, he grabbed Ye Chen with one hand and pulled him out.

Ahem!

Ye Chen gave an awkward laugh and quickly stuffed the storage bag inside his robes.

I just love your cheeky style!

Man Xiong gave him a knowing look with his eyes, which were as big as copper bells.

Ye Chen tried to grab a few more items, but Man Xiong dragged him away.

It was another lively night in the Man Zu tribe. Bonfires blazed, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

Late into the night, Ye Chen found a secluded spot and dumped out all the treasures he had taken from the Man Zu treasury. A pile of extraordinary Fa Qi formed a small mountain.

Soon, the Hun Dun Shen Ding flew out on its own, growing massive and instantly crushing those Fa Qi to pieces, greedily absorbing their essence. It seemed to be having a great time.

Not bad!

Ye Chen stroked his chin with a smile and couldn't help but glance towards the Man Zu treasury again.

Man Xiong reappeared, glanced at the Hun Dun Shen Ding, and sighed. Compared to that, the Man Zu tribe's treasures were basically junk. That was a truly powerful divine artifact.

Seeing Ye Chen still eyeing the Man Zu treasury, Man Xiong stepped forward and kicked him. "Still looking?"

"I can't take anything, and I can't even look?" Ye Chen said nonchalantly.

"When are we going to find the reincarnated person? Take me along, and while we're at it, let's check on my Man Man." Man Xiong plopped down on his backside and pulled out a wine jar, gulping it down heartily.

"Man Man?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Who's Man Man?"

"My wife," Man Xiong grinned widely.

"This is interesting," Ye Chen said, stroking his chin as he sized up Man Xiong, his gaze lingering particularly on his groin area. With such a burly build, things would definitely be lively in the bridal chamber—perhaps even fatal.

"That little girl is stunningly beautiful," Man Xiong said, grinning again.

"If she's your wife, why haven't you brought her here to live with you?"

"Well..." Man Xiong scratched his head awkwardly. "We haven't gotten married yet."

"Keep making things up."

"Fine. I like her, but she doesn't really like me. Her family doesn't think much of me either. Last time I went to propose, they beat me up pretty badly," Man Xiong coughed awkwardly.

"I understand," Ye Chen said with a tone of deep sympathy.

"Here's the star map I got from my old man," Man Xiong shoved a scroll into Ye Chen's arms.

"This is great." Ye Chen unrolled it immediately. It wasn't huge, but it covered two star domains.

"That's it." Man Xiong patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and got up to leave.

"Remember to wear clothes tomorrow—don't go around bare-chested like some bandit," Ye Chen called after him.

Man Xiong didn't respond, likely too drunk to walk straight.

Once Man Xiong was gone, Ye Chen quickly jumped up, looked around, and darted back into the depths of the Man Zu tribe, heading directly for the treasury. He pulled out his hemp sack and started working again.

It wasn't long before he returned, sack on his shoulder.

The Fa Qi he brought back piled up into another mountain, and the Hun Dun Shen Ding was thrilled.

Ye Chen didn't idle away that night.

Under the moonlight, his figure carrying the sack looked just like a thief.

The next day, before dawn, Man Xiong showed up.

Just as Ye Chen had said, the guy was actually wearing clothes.

Ye Chen looked at him with a strange expression. Man Xiong had cleaned himself up neatly, but for some reason, seeing that three-zhang-tall frame, Ye Chen found it increasingly odd.

Let's go!

Man Xiong was eager. He grabbed Ye Chen and soared into the sky.

The two flew into the stars, following the star map directly towards the eastern star domain.

Along the way, they passed quite a few ancient stars, but unfortunately, none had reincarnated people.

Three days later, they finally stopped.

In the distant star space, an ancient star came into view, about the same size as Zhu Que Xing, its starlight brilliantly radiant.

In the Li Tian star domain, it had its own name: Bai Hu Xing.

Go in, but take it easy!

Ye Chen glanced at the star, then at Man Xiong.

You've said that already!

Man Xiong didn't care, charging ahead towards Bai Hu Xing.

Ye Chen shook his head and followed.

Once they landed on Bai Hu Xing, Ye Chen began calculating with his fingers. As he did, his eyes lit up.

Man Xiong noticed but didn't ask. From Ye Chen's expression, he could tell there was a reincarnated person on Bai Hu Xing.

Ye Chen had already stepped into the void, with Man Xiong following.

Before long, they stopped in front of a stretch of immortal mountains.

Man Xiong's expression turned strange because this immortal mountain belonged to Man Man's family.

Ye Chen's expression was even stranger, and the two exchanged a look. It couldn't be that the reincarnated person was Man Man, could it?

In the end, Ye Chen cleared his throat and gestured for Man Xiong to knock on the door.

Got it!

Man Xiong cracked his neck, stepped forward, took a deep breath, and bellowed "Man Man!" with overwhelming force. The sound waves were so powerful that even Ye Chen's ears buzzed.

Immediately, people in the immortal mountain were alerted, and a large group rushed out, all elders. Each pulled out their weapons at the sight of Man Xiong.

Ye Chen stroked his chin. This guy must really be unpopular.

But Man Xiong acted like he was right at home, grinning as he approached, rubbing his hands. "Where's Man Man?"

"Get lost." The elders all glared, stroking their beards. "Bellow again, and we'll beat you."

"Don't make a fuss—you can't beat me."

"And here you are again." Another figure flew out from the immortal mountain—a woman, and a tough one at that, wielding an ax and built like a tank, towering over Ye Chen by two heads.

"That's Man Man." Man Xiong nudged Ye Chen.

"This... this is the little girl you mentioned?" Ye Chen's mouth twitched as he looked at Man Xiong with an expression full of disbelief.

"Compared to me, she's definitely a little girl!"

"Well, that she is."

"Is she the reincarnated person?" Man Xiong stared at Ye Chen with bright eyes.

"No." Ye Chen shook his head. "The reincarnated person is still in the immortal mountain—definitely a woman."

"You little bear cub, how dare you show up again!" Man Man charged over with her ax, as fierce as could be, her aura wild and violent. She wasn't ugly, just big and sturdy. At first glance, she and Man Xiong looked like a matching pair—the bridal chamber would be quite the spectacle.

"I'm here to propose." Man Xiong rubbed his hands and chuckled.

"I'll give you a proposal!" Man Man swung her ax immediately. She wasn't just fierce but had an explosive temper, sparks of lightning swirling around her, her eyes sharp and lively.

"You're hitting me again."

"Hitting you is going easy!"

"You can't beat me."

The two went at it, both yelling loudly, the commotion shaking the entire sky. Ye Chen didn't dare step in—it was too awkward.

The elders, meanwhile, glanced at Man Xiong and Man Man, then turned their unified gaze to Ye Chen, looking him over from head to toe while stroking their beards.

For some reason, compared to the rough Man Xiong, the refined Ye Chen was much more to their liking.

Ye Chen coughed awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable under their stares, like he was a monkey in a zoo—and they were the ones enjoying the show.

Sis, he's hitting me!

While they watched, Man Man's angry voice echoed from the air. She was probably outmatched by Man Xiong and calling for backup.

With that, more people flew out from the immortal mountain—not just one, but eight, all Man Man's sisters.

Wow!

Ye Chen looked up at Man Man's eight sisters and was stunned. Each one was incredibly tough, built like tanks, armed with fierce weapons.

Ye Chen sighed. No wonder they say birds of a feather flock together—what sisters!

You little bear cub!

As Ye Chen sighed, the fight in the sky had already started. Man Man plus her eight sisters, nine in total, surrounded Man Xiong and jumped right in, all with explosive tempers.

Now Man Xiong was on the defensive, scrambling everywhere.

Bro, they're beating me!

Man Xiong shouted for help.

Didn't hear that!

Ye Chen shook his head, pretending to clean his ears, justifying to himself that Man Xiong was tough as nails—a beating wouldn't hurt, and besides, fights like this show affection.

Damn!

Seeing Ye Chen unmoved, Man Xiong nearly choked on his rage. He got kicked by Man Man, and before he could recover, her eldest sister swung a wolf-tooth club, leaving his head ringing. Then he was surrounded again—the scene was brutal.

Beat him—beat him to death!

The elders cheered from the sidelines, not joining in but yelling encouragement.

Ye Chen coughed again, still not helping, his eyes fixed on the immortal mountain, as if he could see through the peaks to a woman practicing swordplay in a garden.

Suddenly, Ye Chen stepped forward and entered the immortal mountain.

You...!

The elders froze for a second, then rushed in after him.

In the sky, Man Man and her eight sisters paused the fight, each giving Man Xiong a kick before chasing into the immortal mountain.

The battered Man Xiong, acting like nothing happened, wiped the blood from his nose, grinned, and darted into the immortal mountain like a beam of light—despite his size, he was fast.

By then, Ye Chen had reached the deep garden of the immortal mountain.

The sudden intruder made the sword-dancing woman stop.

Compared to Man Man and her sisters, she was stunningly beautiful, with delicate features, flowing white robes, watery and clear eyes, and hair like a cascading waterfall. She was like a pure, blooming lotus.
