Chapter 111: Can’t Sleep, Can’t Sleep at All

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Can’t Sleep, Can’t Sleep at All

Ye Yunyi entered the Hu Family’s estate.

Then, he looked at the members of the Hu Family.

He turned the Battle Axe in his hand to the side.

A sharp, cold glint reflected off the blade and onto their faces.

Their eyes all went wide.

The hair on their arms stood on end.

It was as if a chill shot up from the soles of their feet straight to the crowns of their heads.

It was beyond terrifying.

The memory of their Patriarch being pulverized by a single punch sent shockwaves through them.

Looking at Ye Yunyi now, they saw him as a Yama who had clawed his way out of Hell itself.

Terrifying!

Utterly terrifying!

"Lord Ye! We were only following the Patriarch’s orders! We never meant to oppose you. Please, spare us! Give us a chance to live!"

"All of those things... our Patriarch made us do them! It wasn’t what we wanted!"

"Please, see the truth of it!"

The pleas tumbled from the mouth of the man in the lead.

His voice, however, was trembling.

The man’s body trembled like a leaf.

Hearing him, the other Hu Family members behind him also began to beg for mercy.

Ye Yunyi watched them and snorted coldly.

Then, he planted his Battle Axe upright in the ground.

"Clean this place up. Fix everything that’s broken, then pack your things and get out."

Ye Yunyi showed them no mercy whatsoever.

He was, of course, going to claim this place for himself.

After all, he still didn’t have a place to call his own in this barrier.

The Hu Family members were stunned by Ye Yunyi’s demand.

’This...!’

’He’s actually telling us to move out!’

However...

...they quickly came to terms with it.

After all, the fact that Ye Yunyi was sparing their lives was more than enough to be grateful for.

Their losses had been catastrophic. They could no longer call themselves a great family.

Still, they had some strong members left. Surviving in the First Line Barrier wouldn’t be a problem.

It’s hard to go from a life of luxury to one of austerity, but just being alive was enough.

’What more could we possibly ask for at this point?!’

"Right away, Lord Ye! I’ll get them started on the repairs, and then we’ll leave!"

The lead man spoke quickly, not daring to show the slightest hesitation or disrespect.

Then, they scrambled to get to work.

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi walked over to the group of girls.

He looked them over.

’These must be the ones who were just rescued.’

Ye Yunyi felt a jolt as he looked at them.

’They’re all so fresh and lovely.’

’Slender branches bearing heavy fruit... most of them.’

’Hm?’

Ye Yunyi’s gaze fell on one particular girl.

[Name: Lü Fang]

[Height: 171CM]

[Beauty: 98]

[Size: E]

[Figure: 98]

[Purity: 100%]

’Well now!’

’This one’s a real heavyweight!’

’A tempest you could see with the naked eye.’

Ye Yunyi glanced at the others. All of them had 100% purity and beauty scores of 96 or higher.

It was safe to say...

...that before the apocalypse...

...any one of these girls could have been a campus queen.

The top-tier kind, at that.

The girls looked at Ye Yunyi, their faces flushing red as they shyly averted their gaze.

’He’s just too handsome!’

’It’s not just his power!’

’Seeing him up close, he’s incredibly handsome!’

’I want to marry him!’

Their eyes glistened with yearning.

Seeing their reactions, Yu Yan immediately made the introduction. "This is my husband, Ye Yunyi!"

"Honey, this is Lü Fang."

"This is Feng Jingwan."

"And this is..."

Yu Yan went on, introducing the girls to Ye Yunyi.

However, as the girls listened...

...their eyes widened in disbelief. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

’He’s... Yu Yan’s husband?!’

’Doesn’t that mean we don’t have a chance?!’

’Then...!’

They immediately turned to Yu Yan, their eyes a mixture of envy, jealousy, and bitter resentment.

’We’re so jealous!’

"Alright, everyone go get some rest,"

Ye Yunyi said.

Everyone nodded.

Then, they drifted away, a hint of disappointment in their steps.

「At the same time.」

The Hu Family members were frantically starting to pack.

「Outside.」

Many Mutants had heard the news and came over to see what was happening.

The first thing they saw upon arrival was the head of the Hu Family’s Patriarch, Hu Xiang, placed right at the gate.

The impact of this scene was beyond description.

’A Star Level expert!’

’Beheaded just like that!’

’His head put on display at the gate for all to see!’

’Just how powerful must the man who did this be?!’

Soon, they began asking around about Ye Yunyi.

They wanted to know everything about the battle that had taken place.

Gradually...

...the stories about Ye Yunyi grew into legend.

He had single-handedly slaughtered Patriarch Hu!

With just one axe, he had forced back a whole group of other patriarchs!

It was the definition of domineering!

That night, Ye Yunyi stayed in Yu Yan’s room.

The two of them soon began their own "great battle."

The sounds of their "battle" traveled outside...

...reaching the rooms of the girls staying nearby.

As they listened to the sounds of this "battle"...

...their faces flushed with embarrassment.

’How is anyone supposed to sleep through this?!’

They ended up gathering together.

They decided to chat for a while.

It was also a good way to distract themselves from the fear they’d endured over the past few days.

「A short while later.」

Lü Fang’s eyes widened as she stared at Gong Xiaohan. "What did you just say? Lord Ye has other wives?!"

"That’s right. When we were at the other barrier, we met his other wives. They all seemed really happy, though. Lord Ye must have a special... talent... for keeping his women so satisfied."

Everyone: "..."

’We’re pretty sure that was an innuendo, but we have no proof.’

Lü Fang mulled over Gong Xiaohan’s words.

A thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

Beside her, another girl piped up after a moment of thought. "That makes sense. With Lord Ye’s power, and considering what you said, it’s not like he would have to force them."

"In this apocalypse, who wouldn’t be attracted to someone so powerful and handsome?"

Her words immediately earned a chorus of agreement from the others.

"Exactly!"

"That’s so true!"

"The world is a chaotic mess right now. A powerful man like Lord Ye is a once-in-a-lifetime catch for any woman!"

...

As the words tumbled out of the girls’ mouths, Gong Xiaohan frowned.

’Why does this conversation feel like it’s getting stranger and stranger?’

’Are they trying to make excuses for themselves?’

"Alright, alright, it’s getting late. It should be over soon. You all should go back and get some sleep. You probably haven’t been sleeping well these past few days,"

Gong Xiaohan said.

The others nodded.

’After all, it’s been going on for so long. It must be almost over!’

With that, they returned to their own rooms...

...ready to go to sleep.

But!

But...

...even much later, they still hadn’t fallen asleep.

They lay there, staring at their ceilings, utterly stunned.

’As expected of Lord Ye, a man who could even slay the Diamond Level Patriarch Hu!’

’He’s terrifyingly impressive!’

Considering how long it had been going on, it seemed they, just like Yu Yan, wouldn’t be getting any sleep tonight.
