Chapter 2750: Seen the Grandmother
Boom! Rumble!
The night in Wu Lei City was quite lively.
Ye Chen had fully embraced his shameless mode, causing a ruckus wherever he went. He had collapsed countless immortal mountains and demolished numerous palaces and pavilions, operating with complete lawlessness.
Outsiders would hardly believe that despite all this commotion, Wu Lei had not appeared at all. It was as if she were asleep or had sealed herself away. Since Ye Chen entered Wu Lei City, she had not shown her face, which was truly unusual.
For the first time, Ye Chen stopped and climbed to a high vantage point, surveying the widespread destruction. Even he felt a bit embarrassed to continue. This once magnificent immortal city had been turned into a complete mess by him, yet Wu Lei still had not emerged.
He had encountered many female immortals of Wu Lei City, but they all ignored his disruptions, as if it had nothing to do with them. They seemed to say, "Do whatever you want; even if you flip the entire Wu Lei City upside down, we won't bat an eye." How willful.
Willful!
That would be Ye Chen's response.
Since even he felt too ashamed to keep causing trouble, it showed just how chaotic he had made Wu Lei City. If this couldn't draw Wu Lei out, that woman must have incredible patience. Would she only appear if he literally tore the whole city apart?
In reality, Wu Lei wasn't refusing to come out; she simply had other matters to attend to. Problems had arisen in the ancient primordial realm, affecting the three realms and even Wu Lei City. She needed to reinforce certain seals, and she hadn't finished yet. Otherwise, how could she just watch Ye Chen wreak havoc? She would have dealt with him long ago. After all, he had come to Wu Lei City and refused to behave.
"Why is there no sign of activity?"
In the starry sky, many voices expressed confusion.
"Probably already in bed."
"With so many female immortals around, the Holy Body must be overwhelmed." Some old perverts were chatting in groups, speculating about the situation inside since they had no way of knowing.
Wu Lei City was full of female immortals, making it a veritable haven of tenderness. Anyone who went in for a tour would likely come out exhausted. The Holy Body had vigorous vitality, but even that couldn't handle such numbers. This line of thinking seemed quite plausible.
"I want to go in too." Xiao Yuan Huang wiped away his drool again. So many beauties—just thinking about it was exciting.
Boom! Bang! Boom!
Amid the puzzled voices, more rumbling sounds echoed.
Looking toward Wu Lei City, an eight-thousand-zhang giant peak seemed to have come alive, moving through the air. More precisely, someone was carrying it.
It was Ye Chen. After shouting for half the night without seeing Wu Lei, he resumed his mischief, stubbornly shouldering the massive mountain with his tiny ant-like body. Each step he took made the universe tremble.
His intention was clear: to smash this mountain into a nearby immortal mountain. The sight of two mountains colliding would be quite spectacular, and the rumbling would be deafening.
"Come."
Before he could strike, a faint word was heard—it was Wu Lei's voice. She had finally finished her tasks.
Though she had finished, her expression was hard to describe. Standing at the peak of a mountain, she overlooked the entire Wu Lei City, which looked as if it had been ravaged by bandits.
The emotionless Wu Lei instinctively raised her hand to cover her chest, not sure if it was heartache or stomach pain—just that it hurt a lot.
She had truly underestimated Ye Chen; he was even more lawless than Di Huang and Hong Yan.
This time, she had come out just in time. If she had been any later, by a day or two, the female immortals of Wu Lei City might all have ended up tied to trees, listening to someone ramble about ideals.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Ye Chen set down the mountain he was carrying, causing the ground to shake violently. The distant immortal mountain, though not directly hit, was shaken to pieces, and many female immortals were affected.
In the distance, he climbed to the top of another mountain.
By the time he arrived, Wu Lei was already there, standing as if at the end of time, so distant as to be untouchable. She bathed in the pure moonlight, appearing dreamlike and illusory. Ancient visions frequently manifested around her, obscuring her face and making it hard to see clearly, blurring one's senses.
This was Ye Chen's second time seeing Wu Lei.
He remembered the first time was in the Ling Domain, when Chu Ling was also there. That had been several hundred years ago.
Seeing her again now, he still felt a sense of wariness. He couldn't discern Wu Lei's cultivation level—it shifted constantly: sometimes like that of an ordinary person, sometimes a cultivator, sometimes at the Qi Condensation stage, and sometimes at the Quasi-Emperor level, like the ever-changing world itself.
"What secrets are you hiding?"
Ye Chen murmured softly. Even with his high insight, he couldn't lift the veil of mystery around Wu Lei. What was her relationship with Chu Xuan and Chu Ling? And what connections did she have with Xiao Ruoxi and the Ancient Heavenly Court Female Emperor?
Seeing Ye Chen, a spark ignited in Wu Lei's emotionless eyes, and a touch of darkness appeared on her otherwise indifferent face. An urge to beat him welled up strongly within her.
"Seen the Grandmother."
Ye Chen stood still, cupping his hands and bowing. He said "Grandmother" so sweetly.
Not to boast, but that word "Grandmother" made Wu Lei pause. Where did this grandmother even come from?
Ye Chen glanced at her and saw from her expression that it clearly wasn't right.
So, he cupped his hands and bowed again.
"Seen the Mother-in-Law."
Wu Lei's mouth twitched; she had just been demoted a generation. This "Mother-in-Law" caught her off guard.
That wasn't it either.
Ye Chen sneaked a peek and bowed once more.
"Seen the Sister."
At this, Wu Lei almost wanted to laugh. From "Grandmother" to "Mother-in-Law," and now to "Sister"—would the next one be "Niece"? He hadn't even figured out who she was, yet he was calling out randomly like this. Was that appropriate?
"What exactly is your relationship with Chu Xuan and Chu Ling?"
Ye Chen stopped bowing and looked at Wu Lei probingly. This question had puzzled him for several hundred years.
"In your view, what is my relationship with those two?"
Wu Lei replied indifferently.
"Tripod sisters—that seems the most reliable."
"Then let's say they are twin sisters."
"You're not being straightforward, Sister!"
Ye Chen was being bold, speaking up against the wind. He truly saw Chu Xuan, Chu Ling, and Wu Lei as sisters from the same mother, and very naturally placed Wu Lei after Chu Ling.
And with that, he transformed himself into the brother-in-law.
Wu Lei said nothing, only scanning Ye Chen up and down.
Honestly, this was the second time she had heard someone call her "Sister."
Once, there was another person who had shamelessly called her that, and he looked exactly like the one in front of her, right down to that inherent shameless aura.
That person was Di Zun, who had also come to Wu Lei City and directly called her "Sister" without asking who she was.
"Sister?"
Seeing Wu Lei remain silent, Ye Chen waved his hand.
Wu Lei took a deep breath and looked at Ye Chen anew.
Di Zun is the emperor, so I endured that, but how are you so self-assured? By this logic, should I call you brother-in-law?
"We're all family, so brother-in-law won't beat around the bush."
"It's not that brother-in-law is criticizing you, but why are you so emotionless, Wu Lei?"
"There is true love in the human world. My relationship with your two sisters is passionate and intense, but you stand alone. Brother-in-law feels quite heartbroken about it."
Ye Chen had his hands behind his back, finding a comfortable spot, and kept talking without pause. He called himself "brother-in-law" with every sentence, emphasizing the word heavily. It wasn't like chatting at all; it was more like lecturing, always speaking to his sister-in-law as the brother-in-law.
