Chapter 120: Collecting a Debt

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Collecting a Debt

A massive procession marched toward the manor!

Meanwhile, Lü Fang had woken up and come outside.

All eyes were on her.

"Where’s Lord Ye?" Lü Fang asked, looking a little embarrassed.

After all, she’d been the first to get her prize, so she felt a little apologetic toward her "sisters."

But!

Then she reconsidered. ’I put in my fair share of effort last night, didn’t I?’

With that thought, she held her head high and puffed out her chest.

The other women looked at Lü Fang, each with her own ideas. ’Maybe Lü Fang could put in a good word for us?’

They, of course, also wanted to join Ye Yunyi’s big family.

It was just so embarrassing to ask!

"Lord Ye went to pick some people up."

Lü Fang instantly understood who Ye Yunyi had gone to get.

She immediately called the others and headed for the entrance.

To wait for them.

The girls who had been captured by the Hu Family remembered what Gong Xiaohan had told them before.

Lord Ye was supposed to have many wives.

They looked into the distance.

Then, their eyes all widened in disbelief at the sight!

This!

’Why is such a massive group of people heading this way?!’

’And they’re all gorgeous!’

’Not one of them is any less stunning than us!’

’Most of them are just as beautiful!’

Oh my god!

"Are these... all Lord Ye’s wives?"

One of the girls stared blankly, turning to Gong Xiaohan’s group.

Gong Xiaohan and the others saw their expressions and could only give a wry smile. They’d had roughly the same look on their faces the first time they’d witnessed a scene like this.

Utterly breathtaking!

Truly, a breathtaking sight!

Back then, they had figured that Lord Ye must have some other special talents for attracting women besides his strength.

Otherwise, how could so many beautiful women follow him?

As they were speaking, Ye Yunyi arrived with the newcomers and began making introductions.

Zhou Huaiwei and her group looked at the beautiful women before them, an almost imperceptible smile on their faces.

They immediately pulled the newcomers aside, doting on them like little sisters.

Their welcome couldn’t have been warmer.

Then, the new arrivals noticed the bellies on Zhou Huaiwei and the others.

’When they start giving birth, it’ll be one after another!’

One could already see that the Ye Family would secure a firm foothold in the Cyan Ink Barrier in the future.

The sheer number of descendants alone would be extraordinary!

"Alright, you all should hurry up and settle in. Go pick your rooms."

Following Ye Yunyi’s order, everyone began to choose, but their choices were surprisingly unanimous!

They all avoided the room deepest within the manor grounds!

All for the sake of a good night’s sleep!

Ye Yunyi: "..."

’You lot are pretty sharp, aren’t you!’

「One day passed.」

Everyone had more or less settled in.

Then, Ye Yunyi called out his panel.

He looked at the red dot on it.

It was none other than the Tracking Talisman Ye Yunyi had placed on Pan Xuechun!

He’d placed the Tracking Talisman on her precisely because he hadn’t trusted her. And just as he’d expected, his caution had paid off. Ye Yunyi stared at the panel.

The red dot wasn’t very far from him.

It was within the Cyan Ink Barrier!

In that instant, a sinister glint flashed in Ye Yunyi’s eyes.

’Think you can take my things for free?’

’In your dreams!’

Seeing that things at the manor had more or less settled down,

Ye Yunyi prepared to set out.

"Honey, where are you going?" Zhou Huaiwei and the others asked, looking at Ye Yunyi.

"I’m making a trip to the Pan Family."

With those words, Ye Yunyi was gone.

He left the girls looking at each other in confusion.

’The Pan Family?’

’Which Pan Family?’

’What for?’

But they soon pouted and dropped the subject. They didn’t know who the Pan Family was anyway.

’With Honey’s current strength, he should be fine!’

Meanwhile, Pan Xuechun was walking down a road, surrounded by her guards.

She was on her way back to the Pan Family estate.

She looked at the guards around her, her face holding a hint of pride.

’I can’t believe I’ve attained such a status!’

’To be valued this highly!’

Then, she thought of Ye Yunyi.

She remembered the deal she’d made with him. She planned to go back and have someone prepare the Crystal Cores they’d agreed upon, maybe even throw in a few extra as compensation for breaking her end of the bargain.

After all, she now had considerable influence in the Pan Family, so requisitioning some Crystal Cores wouldn’t be a problem.

With that, she continued forward.

「A short while later...」

A rustling sound came from the massive tree up ahead.

The guards froze. ’What was that?!’

They immediately went on high alert.

"Who’s there!"

Even Pan Xuechun was startled.

She stared ahead.

She saw a figure leap down from the tree and land steadily on the ground.

He looked at Pan Xuechun, a half-smile on his face.

Pan Xuechun stared at the person before her. ’It’s...!’

Ye Yunyi!

’He... How did he get to the Cyan Ink Barrier?!’

’Is he here to collect a debt?!’

Her eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing.

’How did this guy find me?!’

She hadn’t even sent the Crystal Cores over yet, and this guy had already found her.

His intentions couldn’t be more obvious.

The guards could immediately tell that Ye Yunyi meant trouble.

"Who are you, and what do you want!"

"Stop!"

They shouted at Ye Yunyi as he advanced on them step by step.

Ye Yunyi looked at them. "I don’t feel like killing anyone today. Scram. I’m taking her with me."

’Take her with him?!’

’Killing?!’

Seeing Ye Yunyi’s young age, the guards snorted.

What an arrogant punk!

Unbelievably arrogant!

"I’d advise you not to ask for trouble!"

"Get lost!"

"Get..."

Before the guard could finish his sentence, Ye Yunyi blurred, appearing right in front of him and shooting out a hand.

He grabbed the lead guard’s neck. The next moment...

He squeezed!

CRACK!

SQUELCH!

In an instant, the sound of breaking bones and tearing flesh erupted.

Then, everyone heard two dull thuds.

It was the sound of a head and body hitting the ground.

The remaining guards’ faces twitched in horror.

’How is this possible?!’

’Their lead guard was at the Late-Diamond Stage!’

Even Pan Xuechun went pale with fright.

’Ye Yunyi’s strength!’

’He didn’t have this kind of power before!’

’Even when dealing with the Mid-Diamond Stage giant serpent, he wasn’t this effortless!’

This!

The next moment!

The guards looked at Ye Yunyi and then charged forward.

"You’re courting death!"

Ye Yunyi pushed off with his foot and shot directly toward them.

He formed a blade with his hand.

He chopped and sliced through the air!

In an instant, a sky-filling mist of blood rose up.

It was a horribly spectacular sight.

THUD, THUD!

The sounds of bodies hitting the ground rang out one after another.

Only Ye Yunyi and Pan Xuechun remained.

Then, Ye Yunyi walked toward Pan Xuechun.

THUD!

Watching Ye Yunyi’s slow approach, Pan Xuechun collapsed to the ground.

Her long, slender legs scrambled against the ground, pushing her body backward.

Her face was utterly drained of color, frozen in terror.
