"Ye Chen!"
Naimei Xue burst into tears when she saw Ye Chen's actions, utterly moved.
In the end, Ye Chen nodded towards Jue Ren and stepped across the sea surface to arrive in front of the Miaojiang Saint Master.
"Saint Master, I've brought you a flower!" Ye Chen said to the Miaojiang Saint Master with a light chuckle.
"..."
Seeing Ye Chen's face, handsome enough to warrant a good punch, the Miaojiang Saint Master's pretty face tightened, unsure what trick this guy was planning to pull.
"Is one Bian Flower enough?" Ye Chen nonchalantly pulled a Bian Flower from his Qiankun Bag.
"It's enough!" The Miaojiang Saint Master's expression softened, and Ye Chen's tact won over the female Saint Master, putting her momentarily at ease.
Bian Flowers were a mystical existence, containing the profound secrets of The Great Tao of the Other Shore. A single flower could enable a Land God to perceive the ways of the other shore and thus march into that invincible state.
"Well, then that's just perfect!" Ye Chen smiled happily, and then put the Bian Flower back into the Qiankun Bag.
"You!"
The Miaojiang Saint Master's face turned into one of shock and anger when she saw what Ye Chen was doing—he was clearly toying with her!
"I took out the Bian Flower just to let you have a look, to crave a little—didn't say I'd give it straight to you!" Ye Chen said with a smile to the female Saint Master.
"For the sake of Jue Ren's disciple, you not only took out a Bian Flower but also spoke to Jue Ren with courtesy. Why do you change your attitude with me? Am I, your disciple Ruolan, inferior to that Japanese girl?" The Miaojiang Saint Master's face could almost freeze over.
"Not at all!" Ye Chen said.
"Then what do you want to do!" demanded the Miaojiang Saint Master, angry at how unpredictable and exasperating the young man was.
"I'd like to ask you a question!" Ye Chen said.
"Speak!"
"May I dare ask the Saint Master's esteemed name?" Ye Chen said.
The Miaojiang Saint Master was enchantingly beautiful, possessing a noble air that seemed favored by the heavens themselves. The whole world knew of her formidable reputation, but her lovely name remained unknown.
"Rascally boy, you're not worthy of knowing my name!"
She was a ruler of a region, a Land God whom mortals looked up to; they either referred to her as Saint Master or extolled her as a divine being—no one dared to ask her her name.
Ye Chen's sudden question—what on earth was he up to?!
"All right then, you have no fate with the Bian Flower!" Ye Chen declared arrogantly.
Ye Chen's smug demeanor infuriated the female Saint Master, almost shattering her spiritual resolve and giving rise to inner demons.
"Ziyue!" The Miaojiang Saint Master revealed her own name, willing to go all out for the Bian Flower.
"Saint Master, keep this Bian Flower for good measure!" Seeing an opportunity to settle things amicably, Ye Chen took out a Bian Flower and pushed it towards the Miaojiang Saint Master.
"Ruolan, we return to Miaojiang!" The Miaojiang Saint Master accepted the Bian Flower and approached Fang Ruolan. "The great calamity is upon us; we must swiftly enhance our strength. I need to break through to the other shore, and you must advance to Land God."
Di Lintian had described the impending catastrophe as extremely grave, and the Miaojiang Saint Master had sensed beforehand that this calamity was extraordinary.
Thus, the Miaojiang Saint Master decided to retreat to Miaojiang for a closed-door cultivation. She had long since become a Land God, and now with a Bian Flower, she was ready to make her own march to the other shore.
Additionally, the Miaojiang Saint Master had acquired numerous rare treasures in her cave dwelling, enough not only to advance her own realm to one of formidable invincibility but also to ensure Fang Ruolan could ascend to become a Land God.
"They're all leaving, that's fine!" Ye Chen took a deep breath of relief as he watched Fang Ruolan's departure.
Ye Chen, too, wanted to keep these women by his side. However, with chaotic times approaching and his own strength too meager to avert disaster, he wasn't ready to protect the beauty around him.
Therefore, when Naimei Xue left, Ye Chen did not stop her, and when Fang Ruolan did too, Ye Chen remained indifferent.
With these two women beside him, at most, they could only advance to the Nine Dragons; to aspire to become Land Immortals was utterly hopeless.
To ascend to immortality depended on comprehension!
Their master was the strongest in the world, and with guidance from such a figure, it was absolutely possible for Fang Ruolan and Naimei Xue to ascend to immortality.
So, when they left, they left; once Ye Chen became powerful, he would retrieve them!
"Ye Chen, where is my magical flower!" Yun Zheyue approached Ye Chen, with the female War God following silently.
The island nation's supreme ninja left content, and the Miaojiang chieftain also departed with a full reward, yet these four immortals were the only ones who did not receive a magical flower.
"Zhao Yue, we are all family, the magical flower won't be lacking for you, let's talk about it when we get home, let me first deal with this foreign girl," Ye Chen said.
"..."
Yun Zheyue's expression stiffened, Ye Chen actually called her 'sister,' which was far too familiar; Zhao Yue was internally thrown off.
"Female War God!" Ye Chen walked up to the savior.
"Ye Chen, as long as you can give me a magical flower, ask for whatever you want; just name it!" the female War God said gravely.
"Well, I want you!" Ye Chen blurted out casually.
"..." The female War God's face darkened, Ye Chen's way of speaking was truly unconstrained.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore!" laughed Ye Chen, breaking the tension in the air.
"I've killed many experts from the saviors; you want a magical flower, I will give you one," Ye Chen said.
"I owe you a favor, when the great calamity of the world comes, I will protect your life!"
Having received the magical flower, the female War God departed gracefully. She really didn't want to see Ye Chen any longer, fearing she might lose control and slap him to death.
"Ye Chen, there are ten magical flowers, you've given away three, and there is still one for me, hurry up and bring it!" Yun Zheyue was growing impatient.
Zhao Yue was the strongest among the Land Immortals, yet people like the Miaojiang chieftain had obtained a magical flower, leaving only her without one!
If people like the Miaojiang chieftain were to break through with the help of the magical flower, then she, Yun Zheyue, would be a step behind, something the great Zhao Yue could not tolerate.
"Why should I give you a magical flower?" Ye Chen said.
"Then why would you give them the flowers! I've betrothed Xiang Han to you, shouldn't that be worth a flower!" Yun Zheyue said.
The island nation's supreme ninja sold his disciple, the Miaojiang chieftain also sold his disciple, and the female War God sold nothing, yet they all received a magical flower!
What reason did Ye Chen have not to give her one, was it only disciples he accepted and not sisters?
"If I marry Yun Xianghan, the magical flower will naturally belong to her, and you won't get it," Ye Chen said with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"I must have it!" Yun Zheyue said coldly.
"Alright then, come find me tonight!" Ye Chen looked towards Yun Zheyue.
"What!" Yun Zheyue could hardly believe her ears; was this guy not afraid, did he not fear she might slap him dead?
"Ye Chen, have you lost your mind?" Yun Xianghan turned to Ye Chen, her eyes sparkling with an extraordinary light, noticing something unusual.
"You're overthinking it, I, Ye Chen, am versed in both the pen and the sword, the best in the world; how could I have lost my mind?" Ye Chen smiled inexplicably. "Your thoughts are impure, I asked her to find me tonight, and I didn't make any demands."
"..."
"Ye Chen, give me the magical flower!" Yun Zheyue looked at Ye Chen, her face frosty.
