That afternoon.
On a bluestone at the mountain behind the White Miao Village, Ye Chen sat with his legs crossed.
He did not move at all as if he was meditating. If one were to look closer, one would notice a white gleam in his body. It was the size of a pigeon's egg.
The white gleam was getting fainter and eventually disappeared completely.
Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Electric arcs flashed through his eyes as a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm on mastery-stage Spirit Assembly now. The demonic alligator's beast core didn't disappoint me."
Before this, he had broken through to peak intermediate-stage Spirit Assembly with the help of the mysterious little tree's fragrance when it bloomed. Now that he had refined the demonic alligator's beast core, he broke through to mastery-stage Spirit Assembly.
"If I encounter people like Yuan Bupo again, I'll be able to kill them within a breath's time. Most importantly, I can finally refine a flying sword."
Ye Chen revealed a satisfied smile.
He had been wanting to refine a flying sword, but he did not have enough spiritual power. Now that he had broken through to mastery-stage Spirit Assembly, his spiritual power had increased by more than three times. He could totally refine a flying sword and perform the Sword Kinesis Method.
A white gleam flashed through the storage ring on Ye Chen's finger as he thought to himself. A pair of materials appeared on the ground, especially the serpent tailbone that he had obtained from the bottom of the Divine Dragon Pond and the demonic alligator's carcass.
He lifted his arm and waved. The skin and flesh on the demonic alligator's carcass fell off automatically, leaving only a skeleton behind.
Ye Chen spat True Fire out of his mouth.
…
Over an hour later, two magic tools appeared in Ye Chen's hand. One of them was a dark green sword. It was 1.6 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. It hovered in the air and vibrated lightly.
The other item was a white bone whip. It was completely black and looked like a long snake. There was a black baleful aura coiling around it, giving off a cold and gloomy feeling.
"From now on, you'll be called the Almighty Killer Sword and you'll be called the Viciousness Bone Whip," Ye Chen mumbled to himself while looking at the two magic tools.
At that moment, footsteps came from far away.
Ye Chen got up and walked over after putting the two magic tools away. He saw two ladies in Miao attire walking over. They were Mengmeng and Xiao Ya.
The little girl was wearing Miao attire. She seemed to be in high spirits as she walked. She ran to Ye Chen immediately as soon as she saw him. "Daddy."
Ye Chen picked her up and said in between tears and laughter, "Who put this on you?"
"It's Auntie Xiao. Daddy, do I look good?" The little fellow stuck out her tongue playfully, showing an expression of "praise me quickly".
"Beautiful. She's a living Miao girl."
Xiao Ya walked over slowly and bowed to Ye Chen. "Greetings, Miao King!"
Ye Chen nodded and could not help but take a few more glances at her. He realized that she looked quite different in the Miao costume.
Xiao Ya seemed to have noticed his gaze. She buried her head in her chest and blushed. She seemed a little uneasy.
"Let's go."
Ye Chen carried the little girl and returned to the Hmong Village.
…
That night, the entire White Miao Village had a bonfire party. Countless Miao ladies dressed up and danced around the fire while holding hands.
As for the man of the Miao tribe, he was bare-chested, with a leather drum hanging in front of his chest. He was beating it non-stop.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ya was surrounded by the people like the moon surrounded by stars. However, she would glance at Ye Chen and his daughter every now and then.
Ye Chen sat on the Miao King's seat while carrying his daughter. He watched everything quietly, but his mind was elsewhere.
He had been out for three days. It was time to go back. He would go back after bringing the little girl to the grassland to watch the stars.
At night, the music ended and everyone left.
A shadow flashed by outside the window when Ye Chen was meditating with his legs crossed after coaxing the little girl to sleep.
"Are you asleep, Ye Chen?"
Xiao Ya's voice came from outside.
Ye Chen got up and opened the door. He saw Xiao Ya standing at the door at the moment, seeming to have something on her mind.
She glanced into the house and smiled. "You guys are leaving tomorrow. Can you walk around with me? I'd like to tell you about the Hmong Village. "
Ye Chen turned his head to look at the little girl. He closed the door and walked out after some hesitation.
The duo walked to the lotus pond in the Hmong Village like they were taking a stroll in the park. The moonlight was hazy, elongating their shadows.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. Eventually, Ye Chen took the initiative to ask, "Tell me, what's up?"
Xiao Ya suddenly buried her head and clasped her fingers tightly. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"I want a child …"
Ye Chen's expression froze, then he said while smiling, "There are so many young men in the village if you want. You can pick one of them. I believe they won't reject you."
Xiao Ya's body jolted. She lifted her head all of a sudden to look at him. Her beautiful eyes were extremely complicated. "It's impossible for the Miao Tribe's holy lady to marry an ordinary tribesman. She's destined to be the Miao King's …"
"I know what you're thinking," Ye Chen interrupted her.
He turned around and said with his back facing her, "I even know that you came to me tonight. You must've been hinted by Old Xiao and the rest.
However, that's impossible. You guys know about my situation very well. I'm a husband and a father. If you guys don't give up, I'll resign from the Miao King's seat tomorrow. "
Xiao Ya's face turned pale. She gripped the corner of her shirt tightly and subsequently took a deep breath in. She said while smiling, "I'm sorry …"
She turned around and left after saying that.
Ye Chen was a powerhouse, and it was the Miao Tribe's nature to worship powerhouses since ancient times.
The people of the Miao tribe valued bloodline inheritance more.
According to the old lady and the rest, since they could not make Ye Chen stay, they might as well let him keep some of his bloodline. Naturally, the bloodline of a powerhouse would not be too bad.
Ye Chen shook his head and returned to his room.
That night, many people were destined to be sleepless.
Xiao Ya shut the door tightly and laid on the bed, crying silently …
Wu Tashan stood at the door and looked at the beautiful figure reflected in the window opposite him. His face was filled with sadness and unwillingness.
Old Lady Xiao blew out the oil lamp and sighed.
…
The next morning, Ye Chen carried his daughter who had washed up and walked to the Hmong Village's assembly hall.
Many people, including the old lady and Xiao Ya, were there. However, Xiao Ya looked exhausted. She held her head down and dared not look Ye Chen in the eye.
Ye Chen glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Xiao Ya, are you willing to be my disciple?"
His voice fell.
Everyone had their eyes on Xiao Ya as envy filled their faces. After all, they had seen Ye Chen's technique before. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as a god.
Xiao Ya seemed to be a little surprised. She mustered her courage and lifted her head to look at Ye Chen with a complicated expression on her pretty face.
She knew what Ye Chen meant by that.
He wanted to cut off the thought in her heart.
"Cough, cough, cough!" The old lady coughed a few times.
Xiao Ya forced a smile after taking a good look at Ye Chen. She knelt hard onto the ground and buried her head. "I'm willing!"
"Alright, from now on, you'll be my second disciple. I'll give you the Buddhist name Linglong, also known as Xiao Linglong."
Ye Chen nodded and flicked his finger. A spiritual glow penetrated Xiao Ya's head.
"I'll teach you the Imperial Spirit Scripture, which can control tens of thousands of gu. I'll also teach you the Divine Punch created in 33 days. You mustn't teach it to anyone else. Otherwise, you'll bring disaster to your clan. Remember this!"
Xiao Ya felt her head swell as memories flooded her mind like a tidal wave. Subsequently, disbelief filled her face.
"I'll give you the magic tool, the Vile Bone Whip. You'll be in charge of Miaojiang when I'm not here!"
A long white bone whip appeared in Ye Chen's hand again. The long white bone whip floated to Xiao Ya automatically.
"Sit with your legs crossed now. I'll enlighten you!"
Ye Chen chuckled softly and walked to her. He tapped between her brows after Xiao Ya sat with her legs crossed. He inserted a spiritual energy seed into her body directly.
As everyone watched in shock, a green gleam flashed through Xiao Ya's body. Her aura changed, and there was a hint of spiritual energy now.
"From now on, nobody below the master level can hurt you. With the magic tool that I'll give you and the tens of thousands of gu, you can even fight a master!"
Ye Chen said coldly and looked at the old lady next to him. "Old Xiao, I'll set up a company when I get back. I hope that you guys can provide the herbs that I need in the future.
Of course, I'll buy them from you guys with money. That way, the lives of the people in Miaojiang will be better. "
"Xiao Xuan will remember the Miao King's order. I'll send someone down the mountain to contact the Miao King in the future," the old lady answered while bowing immediately.
Ye Chen tapped between her brows. "This is a body refining method that I've modified. Old Xiao, you can pass it down to the entire clan to cultivate. You'll have the ability to protect yourself."
The old lady knelt onto the ground after digesting the memory in her head. She was over the moon. "Thank you …"
Before she was done speaking, she realized that Ye Chen and his daughter had left.
…
Outside the White Miao Village, the little girl hugged Ye Chen's neck and said in her baby voice, "Daddy, I want to cultivate like Aunty Xiao."
"Why do you want to cultivate?" Ye Chen asked, feeling rather stunned.
The little girl waved her little fists. "I want to become more powerful too. If someone bullies Mommy in the future, I'll help Daddy beat him up."
Ye Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.
"My dear daughter, you can't cultivate now. You're still growing, and your bones haven't formed yet. You won't grow taller if you cultivate too early.
I'll pass everything to you when you're eight years old. "
"Daddy, will I be as powerful as Aunty Xiao by then?"
"Of course. I'll be No. 1 in this world, and you'll be No. 2!"
