Chapter 1236: The Sayings of the Zheng Ren Jun Zi

It was late into the night before the group finally dispersed.

Among them, several pairs had noticeably formed: Zhao Zi Yu and Nan Gong Zi Yue as one, Qin Yu and Ji Ru Xue as another, Mu Yun Jia and Si Tu Jia as a third, and Qing Yun Zong and Zheng Yang Zong pairing up as well.

The most peculiar case was that fellow, Shao Yu. In less than a day, he had managed to entice a female disciple from the reincarnated individuals of Bei Chu Bei Chen Jia.

She was a disciple from Bei Chu Bei Chen Jia who had previously participated in the Heavenly Court Xuan Generation Three Sects Grand Competition. At that time, she hadn't been particularly outstanding, having been eliminated in the first round, making her a rather suitable match for Shao Yu.

As for Gong Xiao Tian and Wang Biao, those two were in a bind. Shao Yu had the looks to pull it off, but they didn't – one had a fat face and big ears, the other was burly and rough.

"Prostitution!"

The two muttered as they walked off arm in arm, slipping out of Ji Jia Xian Shan and heading straight for the nearest ancient city.

Once the figures had scattered, the scene in the garden remained quite enchanting.

Ye Chen was still composed, but Hao Tian Shi Yue was a bit tipsy from the drinks. She straddled his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her cheek close, her watery eyes rippling as she spoke,

"So on such a beautiful night, don't you want to do something with your sister?"

"I feel like this is some kind of taboo."

Ye Chen coughed awkwardly.

"Or maybe I could turn into Chu Xuan or Chu Ling."

Hao Tian Shi Yue blinked her eyes playfully.

"Honestly, I really appreciate your quirky idea."

"Then treat me as them."

Hao Tian Shi Yue giggled foolishly, her watery eyes growing hazy, her vision blurring as she nestled into Ye Chen's arms and fell asleep. Even in her dreams, she murmured,

"Ye Chen, I want to have a child with you."

The night became peaceful with her slumber.

In the small garden with petals fluttering about, bathed in the bright moonlight, it was serene and dreamlike, like a beautiful illusion.

Ye Chen stood up and gently placed Hao Tian Shi Yue on a soft cloud bed. Under the moonlight, she slept peacefully and serenely, her dream murmurs mostly whispering one person's name.

Ye Chen smiled, waving his hand to drape a cloak over her.

It was indeed a beautiful and romantic night, with the devoted woman asleep, but he didn't act improperly.

Suddenly, fresh blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his figure staggered.

Under the moonlight, he took out a mirror and held it before him.

However, the mirror still didn't show his face. Unlike the previous times, it now displayed a chaotic void.

A breeze blew, turning the mirror in his hand to ashes.

Ye Chen gave a desolate smile, gently wiping the blood from his lips, and cast his dim gaze toward the vast, ethereal sky. The haohan starry expanse and the brilliant stars appeared incredibly blurred to him.

The night passed without incident, and dawn arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, the warm sunlight bathed the earth, casting a splendid veil over the immortal mountains.

Hao Tian Shi Yue woke up, glanced at the cloak covering her, then at her neat clothes, and finally looked toward Ye Chen, who was under a spiritual tree not far away, holding an ancient book and flipping through it.

"You're awake!"

Ye Chen closed the book and stood up, stretching lazily.

Hao Tian Shi Yue jumped down from the cloud bed and glanced at Ye Chen.

"You're really quite the Zheng Ren Jun Zi!"

"You can't blame me for this."

Ye Chen shrugged.

"It was such a perfect night, but you had to fall asleep, leaving me too embarrassed to make a move. Though, your two buns were pretty soft—I couldn't help touching them a few times, and you were quite responsive, moaning quite provocatively."

"Go to hell."

Hao Tian Shi Yue picked up a stone and threw it at him, her cheeks flushing red.

"Look at you, getting all worked up again."

Ye Chen tilted his head slightly, easily dodging the stone. Although he avoided it, someone who had just entered the garden wasn't so lucky and got hit square on.

"Ow!"

Gong Xiao Tian clutched his forehead as he entered, with Wang Biao following beside him.

"Out whoring again?"

Ye Chen asked with a grin.

"Nonsense, we're Zheng Ren Jun Zi!"

"Like hell I believe that."

"Well, if you don't believe us, there's nothing we can do."

Gong Xiao Tian grinned, waddling his plump body over. He poked Ye Chen with a finger, glanced at Hao Tian Shi Yue in the distance, and winked suggestively, his face full of sleazy smiles.

"Uncle, you must've had a great time last night, right!"

"Amazing, I was over the moon."

Ye Chen replied, then opened his ancient book again.

"See, I told you!"

Wang Biao said with a knowing air.

"Uncle's escapades are always earth-shattering."

"Cut the crap."

Ye Chen kicked Wang Biao.

"Go get all the reincarnated individuals and bring them here for me to refine their bloodlines."

"You got it!"

Gong Xiao Tian and Wang Biao chuckled and dashed off.

After they left, Hao Tian Shi Yue walked over and looked at Ye Chen tentatively.

"What about your injury from yesterday?"

"It's nothing serious."

Ye Chen shrugged.

"Why couldn't that mirror reflect your face?"

Hao Tian Shi Yue gazed at him with concern.

"Handsome guys are just like that."

"Tch!"

Hao Tian Shi Yue rolled her eyes at him. Though she didn't show it on the surface, her worry deepened. She knew Ye Chen well— the more he acted this way, the more it meant the situation was serious.

Outside the garden, Gong Xiao Tian and Wang Biao had already gathered the reincarnated individuals.

Ye Chen set down his ancient book and glanced over. Everyone looked refreshed, especially those couples, all glowing with vitality—clearly, they hadn't skimped on bedroom activities last night.

They all sat down cross-legged, including Hao Tian Shi Yue. As for Chu Yang, he wasn't there.

Ye Chen immediately summoned his Xian Huo, turning it into a sea of flames that enveloped everyone.

Next came Tian Lei and Dan Zu Long Hun. For those who hadn't opened their Dan Hai, he opened it; for those without Shen Hai, he opened that too. Tian Lei tempered their physical bodies, while Dan Zu Long Hun refined their Yuan Shen.

Soon after, Ye Chen's Sheng Ti essence and Sheng blood intertwined, merging into the Xian Huo.

Ugh! Ugh!

The site was filled with pained groans, but everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, knowing Ye Chen was helping them undergo a complete transformation.

Pop! Pop!

Along with the groans, such sounds rang out continuously, as many broke through during their metamorphosis.

Ye Chen didn't skimp on Dan Yao, sending out batches of them that turned into pure Yuan energy, surging like tides and roaring like the sea, supplementing their breakthroughs and aiding their powerful advancements.

This was a lengthy process.

Before long, Qin Yu and Ji Ru Xue arrived. The young couple—one beaming with energy, the other with flushed cheeks—clearly looked like they'd just consummated their marriage. Last night must have been quite the steamy scene.

"Wow!"

Ji Ru Xue exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the Xian Huo, Tian Lei, and Ye Chen's dominant bloodline essence.

"What a talent!"

Qin Yu, who knew Ye Chen well, couldn't help but smile. Even though his own bloodline was dominant in this life and his cultivation far surpassed Ye Chen's, the pressure Ye Chen exerted still felt like a massive mountain, making his heart tremble.

"All good!"

Ye Chen smiled at the two of them.

"Got it!"

Qin Yu pulled Ji Ru Xue to sit down with him, undergoing transformation under the Xian Huo's, Tian Lei's, Dan Zu Long Hun's, and Sheng Ti essence's refinement.

"Truly extraordinary!"

Deep in Ji Jia Xian Shan, the Ji family ancestor watched from afar, sighing in admiration.

His aged eyes were full of depth, as if he could sense Ye Chen's bloodline aura from a distance. It was a heaven-defying bloodline— even as a half Huang Gu Sheng Ti, it could rival that of an emperor.

Night fell quietly.

In the garden, Ye Chen finally withdrew his divine abilities, his face pale and a trace of fresh blood at his lips.

The reincarnated individuals remained seated, all having gained opportunities and fortunes from this bloodline refinement.

Ye Chen wiped the sweat from his brow, pulled out a wine flask, and chugged it down.

"Hm?"

As soon as he finished the flask, Ye Chen glanced toward a mountain peak, his gaze locking precisely on a cave mansion there. It was Luo Xi's seclusion cave, and she had just emerged.

Ye Chen smiled and stepped into the sky, reaching the peak in a few strides.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Luo Xi stretching lazily as she stepped out of the cave.

In her youthful form, Luo Xi looked exactly as she had in the past, but even more extraordinary now. Immortal Xia enveloped her entire body, and strands of her hair were tinged with immortal light. Under the bright moonlight, she appeared utterly sacred.

"Huh?"

Having just stepped out, Luo Xi spotted Ye Chen and paused for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her large eyes.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and set up a barrier.

Immediately, a beam of immortal light flew from him and merged into Luo Xi's brow.
