Just like Ye Chen said, he had mastered a hundred martial arts techniques, making him a veritable moving arsenal of martial skills. Even Yun Zheyue, being the strongest fairy, couldn't match Ye Chen in the realm of martial arts training.

Yun Zheyue sought out Ye Chen precisely to exchange experiences and martial arts techniques, hoping to gain some advantages.

However, Yun Zheyue never expected Ye Chen to expose her little scheme so directly, without giving her any face, or leaving her a way to gracefully retreat.

Yun Zheyue was so angered she became numb; she even felt a bit wronged. Didn't this guy fancy goddesses? She was the number one goddess under the heavens, so why wouldn't Ye Chen try to curry favor with her?

"Yun Zheyue, why are you not speaking? Are you going to cry?" Ye Chen became somewhat apprehensive, unable to imagine what it would look like if the dragon leader shed tears.

"Scram!" Yun Zheyue said angrily. She was a towering dragon leader—how could she exhibit such childish behavior as crying!

"You do look a bit pitiful, and since you're Yun Xianghan's sister, I'll grudgingly agree to exchange martial arts experience with you!" Ye Chen said as though it were a big inconvenience.

"Good, a deal's a deal, no take-backs!" Yun Zheyue's eyes sparkled, and the corners of her mouth lifted, revealing a hint of pleasure.

Ye Chen had mastered a hundred martial arts techniques, and if Yun Zheyue could learn them, it would be immensely helpful for her Transcendence the Other Shore!

"Exchanging martial arts experience is fine, and swapping techniques isn't out of the question, but the exchange must be fair and square!" Ye Chen said.

"What do you mean?" Yun Zheyue raised an eyebrow.

"What I mean is, you teach me one technique, and I'll teach you one in return. We'll exchange one for one!" Ye Chen cleverly said. "You've at most mastered a dozen or so martial arts, but I've mastered a hundred peerless techniques. If we were to share everything we know, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage?"

"..." Yun Zheyue's face immediately turned cold. This guy was way too sly. If things went as Ye Chen suggested, what advantage could she possibly gain!

"Of course, nothing is absolute. If you serve me tea and water during our exchange, I might just take pity and teach you a few extra techniques!" Ye Chen said.

"Fine!" Yun Zheyue agreed through clenched teeth.

"I must say, you've hit the jackpot!" Ye Chen boasted. "I'm a walking martial arts treasury, and you've got the chance to exchange with me. That's fortune acquired over eight lifetimes!"

"Bastard!"

Yun Zheyue was so furious she gritted her teeth, yet there was a calculating gleam in her eyes.

...

And so, Ye Chen cast aside all distractions and stayed in Luoshi City.

All of Ye Chen's numerous wives were in Huaxia, and he had disappeared for three years, naturally missing them every moment.

However, if Ye Chen were to return to Huaxia, being reunited after a long absence, his state of mind would definitely be disturbed!

Na Wudao was undoubtedly the ultimate battle fairy, and with his time running out, the upcoming battle in a month's time was bound to be insanely intense.

Ye Chen was powerful and feared no enemy, but when facing someone like Na Wudao, he needed to be exceedingly cautious!

Therefore, to avoid upsetting his mental state, Ye Chen had not immediately rushed back to Huaxia, nor did he maintain much contact with Su Binglan and the others.

Furthermore, Ye Chen had already spoken to Su Binglan over the phone. As long as they knew he wasn't dead, that was enough.

Ye Chen stayed in Luoshi City to adjust his own condition, wanting to face Na Wudao in his peak form in the ultimate battle.

During this time, Ye Chen spent time with Xu Qingling, deepening their relationship significantly. Moreover, with Ye Chen's help, Xu Qingling's cultivation had soared, and she had stepped into the Grandmaster level.

"Ye Chen, I want to go back to Huaxia to develop!" Xu Qingling said. "My father has canceled my engagement with the Ji family, and they've paid a hefty price. Now, nobody dares to go against me, so I want to go back to Huaxia and make something of myself!"

"Develop? You, a young woman, want to become a top leader?" Ye Chen said in surprise.

"Yes!" Xu Qingling nodded vigorously and said seriously. "I want to be one of the few with the highest authority in the military. Only then can I be of help to you at critical moments!"

"Help me?" Ye Chen asked skeptically. "What do you need to help me with? I don't need your help!"

"Even if you don't help me, I must become a female commander!" Xu Qingling insisted.

"Why?" Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

"I called Su Binglan," Xu Qingling said coyly.

"Yeah, I know. Didn't you tell me?" Ye Chen had long known that Xu Qingling had found her organization, and she had even infiltrated the Mrs. Ye chat group.

"I've noticed that all of your women have one thing in common, just like Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan, and Liu Shihua. They each have their own distinctive traits, and they're not just pretty vases. They excel in their careers!" Xu Qingling stated. "I also want to pursue my own career and have a unique place in your heart!"

"Silly, why would you think that way?" Ye Chen laughed. Xu Qingling wanted to be a powerful woman who could outshine others.

"A woman, if she doesn't strive for progress, deserves to be abandoned by men. If I don't achieve something in my career, I'd be too embarrassed to stand in front of them," Xu Qingling said assertively.

"You're already amazing. There's no need to deliberately prove yourself," Ye Chen said.

"I just want to be a female commander!" Xu Qingling persisted.

"..."

"Fine, go ahead and be a female commander, and I'll be the man behind the female commander," Ye Chen laughed.

He liked women with personality and successful career-oriented women because the more successful his women were, the more accomplished he felt!

"Mm, I've already made arrangements with my family, I'm leaving tomorrow!" Xu Qingling said.

"What, you're leaving tomorrow!" Ye Chen was taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingling asked.

"What about me when you're gone? Who will comfort my tender heart?" Ye Chen was somewhat reluctant. Xu Qingling was leaving too hastily.

"..."

The next day.

Xu Qingling boarded the private jet to Huaxia.

Xu Qingling was Huaxia's first female general, and she had made significant contributions during the recent zombie outbreak. Upon returning to Huaxia, her future was bound to be bright.

"Feeling reluctant to let go?" Yun Zhao Yue looked at Ye Chen with a slight upward curve at the corner of her mouth, seeming to smile happily.

"You're just a stone woman. You wouldn't understand my feelings!" Ye Chen glanced at Yun Zhao Yue and said.

Yun Zhao Yue, a lofty and invincible woman, was an ancient being that had no dealings with matters of men and women.

So when Ye Chen called her a stone woman, it meant she couldn't understand his physical and emotional feelings.

"Who are you calling a stone woman!" Yun Zhao Yue's voice came out cold and displeased with the term.

"I'm talking about you!" Ye Chen insisted.

"What gives you the right to call me a stone woman!" Yun Zhao Yue frowned.

"How old are you this year?" Ye Chen was curious about Yun Zhao Yue's age.

"Eighty-six!" Although Yun Zhao Yue was exceptionally elegant, appearing as pristine as a young girl, she was indeed an absolute antique.

"You're eighty-six and still don't have a boyfriend. What are you if not a stone woman!" Ye Chen said with a peculiar expression.

"What did you say!" Yun Zhao Yue doubted her own hearing.

"You know what I mean!"
