"You're asking for death!" Yun Zheyue raged, her jade hand struck like lightning, aiming for Ye Chen's crown.
When Ye Chen first met Yun Zheyue, he had almost been killed by a slap from her.
Now, Ye Chen still knew no better and once again boldly offended Yun Zheyue.
Yun Zheyue lashed out with another palm strike, intending to kill Ye Chen on the spot.
However, Ye Chen had undergone a dramatic transformation and possessed the strength of an ultimate battle immortal; Yun Zheyue's palm strike couldn't even harm him.
"Boom!" Yun Zheyue's palm struck, and Ye Chen countered with his own. Their palms collided forcefully, instantly shaking the ground around them and kicking up boundless dust.
As their fierce battle continued, the ground beneath them cracked and collapsed, the void exploded with powerful forces, creating terrifying black holes.
Yun Zheyue was the world's strongest battle immortal, and Ye Chen was only slightly less powerful, being an ultimate battle immortal himself!
Although Yun Zheyue could suppress Ye Chen, it was very difficult to kill him completely.
Only if Yun Zheyue suddenly burst forth with her strongest killing move would she have a chance to crush Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen had too many tricks up his sleeve; even if Yun Zheyue could kill him, she would probably end up dead as well.
The cost of killing Ye Chen was too great, so great that Yun Zheyue no longer wanted to kill him.
But even if she could only leave Ye Chen grimy and disheveled, she still had to fight because Yun Zheyue was angry!
...
Three days after Xu Qingling left, Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue also departed.
Ye Chen's battle with Na Wudao was just over ten days away, and he needed to head to the South Sea to meet this old Dragon King.
However, Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue did not take a plane to the South Sea but chose to walk there instead!
Martial arts masters could move as fast as leopards or tigers, and grandmasters could outrun cars. Nine dragons or ten dragons could sprint faster than a train could run, and land deities could already fly through the air, crossing oceans with just their physical bodies!
Although Egypt was far from Huaxia, Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue could reach there within a week if they pushed themselves to the limit.
Therefore, Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue chose to walk. They wanted to drift through the ocean, temper their hearts, and refine their spirits!
This journey to the South Sea was also a form of cultivation!
"Compared to the vast and boundless universe, humans really are very tiny!" Yun Zheyue walked above the clouds, her light steps crossing tens of meters at a time, like a deity inspecting the mortals.
"Right, we martial artists should always maintain a heart of reverence towards the universe," Ye Chen sped up and walked alongside Yun Zheyue.
"..."
When Ye Chen suddenly spoke up, Yun Zheyue fell silent; she didn't want to bother with this commoner.
"Yun Zheyue, I want to tell you that you should hold a hint of reverence for all living beings. Don't be so arrogant, thinking no one is worth your attention!" Ye Chen said seriously as he looked at Yun Zheyue.
"Are you teaching me how to be a person?" Yun Zheyue's face was icy.
"You are naturally beautiful and of unparalleled charm, with an essence of spiritual beauty that surely the universe values!" Ye Chen began by complimenting her, then continued, "But though you are immensely powerful, you are still a person, not a deity!"
"Since we exist in this world as people, what right do you have to look down on everyone?" Ye Chen wanted Yun Zheyue to be more down-to-earth.
"Who do you think you are?" Yun Zheyue looked at Ye Chen. "What right do you have to interfere in my matters?"
"Because I am your husband, I have the right to manage!" Ye Chen was courting death again.
"..."
Yun Zheyue clenched her fist, wanting to fight another battle, but she ultimately restrained herself.
Through their time together, Yun Zheyue had realized that arguing with someone like Ye Chen was pointless. The only correct solution was to treat his words as nothing more than flatulence.
"So you're not talking anymore? Did I hit a nerve, and you're secretly in love with me, right?" Yun Zheyue was silent, but Ye Chen, lacking any tact, continued to blaspheme flippantly.
Yun Zheyue's aura intensified, and her speed suddenly surged, leaving Ye Chen far behind.
Ye Chen was too disgusting for Yun Zheyue to bear seeing him, sickening!
"Hey, why are you running away!" Ye Chen chased after the goddess.
Ye Chen's shamelessness caused Yun Zheyue to flee frantically, with Ye Chen madly pursuing her. The pursuit lasted a day and a night.
Virtual flight was very draining, and although they both had divine combat abilities with terrifying recovery capabilities, a day and night of chasing still exhausted them greatly.
Eventually, they descended from the clouds and found a small island in the ocean to rest temporarily.
Yun Zheyue sat down to cultivate.
Ye Chen gathered some firewood, started a bonfire, and took out half a sheep from the Qiankun Bag to roast over the fire.
The meat and medicinal herbs in the Qiankun Bag had long been eaten by Ye Chen in the Litian Cave Abode; this half-sheep was just ordinary meat.
"It smells so good!" Ye Chen sniffed, his face in bliss.
"With your cultivation level, you can absorb the natural essence to replenish yourself, so why eat such mundane food?" Yun Zheyue looked at Ye Chen.
"Because it's delicious!" Ye Chen said. "Even though we are invincible, we are still human, and living as a human means finding some pleasures!"
"I just love to eat; having a bloated stomach gives me a sense of satisfaction!" Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue looked at each other.
"Oh!" Yun Zheyue smiled faintly, seemingly disagreeing.
Yun Zheyue didn't know how long it had been since she last ate any food. In fact, ever since she could absorb the energy of heaven and earth to sustain herself, she hadn't eaten at all.
Yun Zheyue's existence was the epitome of being untouched by worldly concerns.
Thus, this led to Yun Zheyue's aloofness, that kind of lofty attitude looking down upon all beings.
"Are you going to eat?" Ye Chen tore off a small piece of lamb leg and gestured to Yun Zheyue.
"I don't eat such dirty things!" Yun Zheyue didn't even glance at it, showing no interest in such worldly food.
"Dirty?" Ye Chen stuffed the meat into his mouth and chewed vigorously. "If all food is dirty, then there's nothing clean left in this world!"
"Hmph!" Yun Zheyue scoffed coldly.
"Yun Zheyue, do you want to learn martial arts?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.
"Are you willing to teach?" Yun Zheyue raised her eyebrows, intrigued by the mention of martial arts.
Ye Chen and Yun Zheyue exchanged insights on martial arts and shared methods of martial arts training.
Although Ye Chen had mastered hundreds of martial arts, he was not willing to be taken advantage of. For every martial art that Yun Zheyue gave him, he would reciprocate with one...
Although Ye Chen was incredibly wealthy, he was not generous with sharing martial arts, which Yun Zheyue always remembered bitterly.
"If you can eat this half lamb, I'll teach you a peerless martial art!" Ye Chen said, half smiling.
"Impossible!" Yun Zheyue said sternly. "I haven't eaten in decades; I won't betray my beliefs for a martial art!"
"Souls can be sold, let alone beliefs?" Ye Chen smiled unrestrainedly. "You stick to your beliefs not because of your inner persistence, but because my price isn't high enough!"
"Eat this half sheep, and I'll teach you ten martial arts!" This time Ye Chen was really putting everything on the line, determined to bring Yun Zheyue down from her pedestal and force her to mingle with the mundane.
"Ten martial arts?" Yun Zheyue seemed somewhat tempted.
One martial art could empower a person substantially, granting the ability to combat across levels – what would ten martial arts signify?
Yun Zheyue had roamed the world for countless years, amassing only ten martial arts after many encounters!
Now, she could obtain ten martial arts just by eating some food?
"Fifteen martial arts!" Seeing Yun Zheyue hesitate, Ye Chen immediately raised his offer.
"This!"
Yun Zheyue's breathing became rapid; in her entire life, the martial arts she had collected did not even amount to fifteen!
However, just as she was about to agree, her heart suddenly struggled; as a lofty immortal, how could she consume such mundane meat?
But, without giving her a chance to hesitate, Ye Chen immediately shouted, "Eat half a sheep, get twenty martial arts!"
"It's a deal; I'll eat!" Yun Zheyue agreed immediately, without any hesitation.
What would twenty martial arts imply?
Yun Zheyue couldn't even begin to calculate; she only knew that twenty martial arts would drive even the ultimate war immortals mad!
And all she had to do was eat half a sheep to gain twenty martial arts, a truly heavenly windfall!
"I'll give you three martial arts first; for every bite of lamb you eat, I'll give you one martial art!" Ye Chen casually pulled out three martial arts from the Qiankun Bag and threw them - as if they were trash - at Yun Zheyue's feet.
"This!" Yun Zheyue was somewhat frightened, even as the strongest war immortal, she was taken aback by Ye Chen's bold move.
"Eat quickly; it'll taste bad if it gets overcooked!" Ye Chen smiled at Yun Zheyue.
"Alright!" Yun Zheyue took a deep look at Ye Chen, and then started eating the meat.
Even though Yun Zheyue had agreed, she was somewhat repulsed; but when she tore off a piece of lamb and put it in her mouth, she found that the taste of this worldly food was not as bad as she remembered...
After Yun Zheyue had eaten several pieces of lamb, Ye Chen began to throw martial arts books to her feet...
Seeing the pile of martial arts at her feet, Yun Zheyue felt an unprecedented happiness, and the meat in her mouth seemed tastier and more delicious!
Ye Chen occasionally threw out a martial arts book, watching Yun Zheyue eat, feeling somewhat smug inside.
Yun Zheyue was a lofty, proud woman, the proudest woman under the heavens and above the earth. Now, Ye Chen had forcibly changed her, how could he not feel triumphant?
As for the price paid, Ye Chen simply didn't care.
Ye Chen had mastered a hundred martial arts himself, and before coming out of Litian Cave Abode, he had plundered countless martial arts from Emperor Litian.
Although Ye Chen hadn't bothered to count, he had at least a thousand martial arts books because he had emptied an entire row of bookshelves!
For Ye Chen, a tycoon, a few dozen martial arts books were just a drop in the bucket. If it could buy a smile from a goddess, he could afford to give hundreds of martial arts books!
"Is it tasty?" Ye Chen looked at Yun Zheyue, his face full of smiles, as this woman full of immortal aura had already finished the half sheep.
"Ye Chen, can you tell me why?" Yun Zheyue wiped the grease from her mouth, looked at the twenty martial arts books at her feet, and then turned to Ye Chen. "Why did you use so many martial arts to make me willingly eat this half piece of lamb meat?"
