Chapter 117: I Refuse

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: I Refuse

Oh?

Ye Yunyi stared at the Eighth King General, momentarily stunned. ’Well now.’

’This beautiful?!’

’And with such a great figure?!’

’She’s a solid 99 out of 100. Just a single point shy of perfect!’

Then, Shangguan Yulan looked up at Ye Yunyi. That simple glance radiated both elegance and power!

Combined with her exquisite face, it was enough to make anyone fall for her!

She then stood up, and the sudden, turbulent wave made even Ye Yunyi’s heart skip a beat.

She walked over to Ye Yunyi and extended her hand. "I am Shangguan Yulan."

"Ye Yunyi."

Ye Yunyi shook her hand.

Their hands parted after a brief touch.

’Still, it felt nice!’

’As soft as a young girl’s.’

"Have a seat."

The Eighth King General spoke, then looked Ye Yunyi up and down, as if searching for any truth to the rumors circulating outside.

Ye Yunyi cut straight to the chase. "Eighth King General, why did you summon me?"

"The Exotic Beasts outside are growing stronger!"

Shangguan Yulan answered him slowly.

"It’s been five, almost six years since the apocalypse. It’s not just us humans who have grown stronger. Outside the barriers, the Exotic Beasts have been devouring everything in their path, becoming more and more powerful!"

"And their rate of growth might even be faster than that of us Mutants!"

"If this continues, I’m afraid we’ll see more and more barriers fall in the future!"

"The nine King Generals are preparing to establish a Wall Alliance Army."

"So, what do you think? Any interest in joining?"

"None." Ye Yunyi waved his hand dismissively as soon as he heard the offer.

’I don’t have the slightest interest in this kind of thing.’

Nearby, Zou Kai’s eyes went wide when he heard this. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

’Ye Yunyi is too damn badass!’

’He knew there was no way Ye Yunyi would agree!’

’After all, he has so many wives now, and he needs to give each of them their fair share of attention!’

’He can’t possibly be in two places at once!’

But Zou Kai never expected Ye Yunyi to reject the Eighth King General so directly!

Without a shred of hesitation!

Over on her side, the corner of Shangguan Yulan’s mouth twitched.

In all this time, no one had ever rejected her so quickly. In fact, no one had ever rejected her at all.

The atmosphere in the room froze in an instant.

"Alright, then." Shangguan Yulan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so she just waved her hand. "In any case, if you ever change your mind and want to join, my door will always be open for you."

Ye Yunyi looked at her. ’Open door?’

’What kind of door is she opening?’

If Shangguan Yulan knew what Ye Yunyi was thinking right now, she would probably pin him to the ground on the spot!

Ye Yunyi nodded. "Alright, then I’ll be leaving."

With that, Ye Yunyi stood up.

Zou Kai followed him out.

"Holy crap, you’re so freaking badass! You just rejected the Eighth King General outright," Zou Kai exclaimed in awe once they were a good distance away.

Ye Yunyi waved his hand. "How could I give up an entire forest for a single crooked tree?"

Zou Kai: "..."

’Holy crap?!’

’What the fuck?’

’What is he saying?’

’A crooked tree?’

’Who’s the crooked tree?’

Zou Kai instantly understood what Ye Yunyi meant. ’This bastard, does he have a death wish?’

’They had only just left. If the Eighth King General heard that, would he even live to see another day?’

Zou Kai immediately slapped a hand over Ye Yunyi’s mouth!

Ye Yunyi: "..."???

’What is this pervert doing?!’

Instantly, he used a Capture Skill to pin Zou Kai to the ground.

Zou Kai: "..."

「Meanwhile!」

As the story of Ye Yunyi’s exploits fermented wildly throughout the Cyan Ink Barrier!

Within the Cyan Flower Barrier!

"Have you heard? Lord Ye went on a killing spree in the Cyan Ink Barrier!" one of several Patriarchs gathered together was the first to speak.

His single sentence made many of those present roll their eyes.

"We knew that ages ago!"

"Yeah, you’re way behind the times."

"Lord Ye killed a Star Level Patriarch in the Cyan Ink Barrier!"

"Not only that, they’re saying Lord Ye has the makings of a King General!"

"He’ll probably be a big shot who can call the shots in the Cyan Ink Barrier from now on. He’s really taking off this time!"

The makings of a King General!

Those six words sent a shiver down their spines!

What an incredibly alluring phrase!

But it was a status they would never have a chance to achieve in their lifetimes!

"Some say it’s just a rumor, since it’s all just word of mouth."

"But it does seem that Lord Ye really hasn’t been in the barrier these past few days."

...

Everyone chimed in with their own thoughts.

Finally, they made a decision: they should go to the garden estate to see for themselves.

「At the garden estate.」

Yu Yan had just returned.

The moment she got back, she was surrounded by a group of women.

Seeing that Yu Yan had returned alone, they grew anxious.

’Could it be that something happened?’

"Don’t worry, sisters. Husband sent me back to bring everyone to the Cyan Ink Barrier."

"He has a large manor there too!"

"Husband single-handedly killed a Star Level Mutant!"

BOOM!

Her words hit them like a bombshell!

Their eyes all went wide!

’Holy cow!’

’Husband is that powerful?!’

’No wonder I haven’t been able to handle him recently!’

"Should we pack up quickly and head over?"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the women scattered with a cheer.

They all went to pack.

Yin Weimeng and Dongfang Ruoyu heard the news and also headed out of the garden estate.

They were going to summon the members of the Hundred Flowers Alliance to move to the Cyan Ink Barrier.

Everyone began to pack with great urgency!

By the time the Patriarchs and other Mutants arrived, they were greeted by an extraordinarily lively scene!

Everyone was busy packing!

"Are... are you all leaving?"

One of the Patriarchs who had come to the garden estate couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, Husband told us to move to the Cyan Ink Barrier."

Yu Yan replied.

The group of visitors looked at one another, their faces showing that their suspicions had been confirmed!

They then heard the women say they would be leaving as soon as they finished packing.

With that, an idea sparked in their minds!

They hurried back to their own homes!

「A short while later!」

They began to return one after another!

"Ladies, these are our congratulatory gifts to celebrate Lord Ye’s success. He is like a Flood Dragon entering the sea, able to command the wind and rain even in a First Line Barrier like the Cyan Ink Barrier."

"That’s right. We hope that Lord Ye and you, ladies, will often return to the Cyan Flower Barrier for a visit."

"Yes, we will always welcome you back."

...

The Patriarchs spoke one by one, their faces wreathed in smiles.

Their smiles were like freshly bloomed daisies!

Absolutely radiant!

Bai Zhixi watched them. When it came to accepting gifts, she was a professional!

She immediately accepted the gifts one by one. "All you Patriarchs are far too kind!"

"Once I get to the Cyan Ink Barrier, I will be sure to tell my husband!"

"In the future, if any of you Patriarchs visit the Cyan Ink Barrier, you can come and catch up with my husband."

Hearing this, the Patriarchs were ecstatic!

’Well, I’ll be.’

’These gifts really weren’t given in vain!’

They immediately began thanking Bai Zhixi profusely!

They couldn’t have been more respectful.
