An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 266

Looking at the scenery before him, Yang Chen couldn’t help but widen his eyes. The mountain peaks and ravines stretched across the landscape. But there was a lack of trees and fragrant grass, making it somewhat monotonous.

This point also left Yang Chen a bit puzzled. Yu Yourong was over four thousand years old. How could this be?

However, before he could think further, Yu Yourong reacted. A white palace gown instantly enveloped her voluptuous and delicate figure. Then, a handprint condensed from true qi came swinging toward Yang Chen’s cheek.

The space rippled, and Yang Chen immediately shifted sideways by more than ten zhang. The spot where he had just stood—a white jade platform engraved with mysterious formations—was directly shattered into pieces by Yu Yourong’s palm.

The entire hall shook violently for a moment.

“Damn it!” Yang Chen cursed inwardly.

This old woman was truly going for the kill.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly; if that palm had hit him, even if he didn’t die, he’d be gravely injured.

Yang Chen’s gaze turned toward Yu Yourong, whose face was dark and gloomy, and he hurriedly shouted: “Holy Lord, what are you doing? From beginning to end, this matter has nothing to do with this disciple! As the Holy Lord and a senior, even with your supreme cultivation, you can’t just vent your anger on this disciple without reason! Besides, all of this happened so suddenly; it’s not like this disciple saw it on purpose!”

“Shut your mouth!” Yu Yourong’s voice was grim, laced with deep shame and anger.

Thinking of the earlier scene, her killing intent surged. If this bastard weren’t somewhat useful, she’d really want to wipe him out completely.

She, Yu Yourong, the grand Holy Lord of the Dao Heaven, soon to transcend tribulation and become a True Immortal—a supreme being—had actually been completely seen by a junior like Yang Chen.

Damn it.

“Hurry up and put your clothes on!”

Yu Yourong forcibly suppressed the killing intent in her heart and then coldly ordered.

Yang Chen took out a white robe and put it on.

At that moment, a voice came from the spatial entrance of the rear hall—it was the Second Elder: “Holy Lord, what happened?”

“It’s nothing; this seat is instructing the Holy Son in his cultivation!” Yu Yourong tried to make her voice sound calmer.

Then, another voice came from the spatial entrance—it was Yu Zun:

“Aunt, Zun’er requests an audience!”

Yu Yourong’s voice carried clear impatience as she replied: “This seat has no time to see you; go reflect on yourself properly!”

After saying that, Yu Yourong flicked her finger, sealing the spatial entrance that allowed sound to pass through.

Seeing this, Yang Chen’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a slight smirk.

Zun’er, oh Zun’er, your aunt is in no mood to see you right now. After all, she and I just had a moment of complete honesty with each other.

Heh heh.

“Yang Chen, what are you laughing at? This seat is asking you: when the Radiance and flames merge, it causes a violent explosion—did you know this beforehand? Was this all part of your scheme?” Yu Yourong took a step forward, standing directly in front of Yang Chen.

Though a faint fragrance wafted from her, it couldn’t mask the cold aura emanating from her body.

Yang Chen immediately said helplessly: “Holy Lord, am I really that kind of person in your eyes? The explosion earlier likely happened because the two energies weren’t balanced. Moreover, you haven’t refined the Glazed Sacred Heart Flame—it’s not your origin fire, so the rejection was extremely strong!  The reason this disciple succeeded is because the flame is the origin fire of my physical body, and the Radiance is fused with the innate radiance essence in my primordial spirit. The two energies are relatively balanced!”

Hearing Yang Chen’s explanation, Yu Yourong’s eyes flickered, as if in thought.

Finally, she let out a cold snort. It was clear she accepted Yang Chen’s explanation. The Glazed Sacred Heart Flame reappeared in her palm. The flame, like glazed glass, exuded an elegant and holy aura, quite matching her temperament. But she couldn’t refine it.

Because her current body was a piece of Lunar Divine Jade, which clashed with foreign flames. Unable to refine the Glazed Sacred Heart Flame, her control over the foreign fire would always remain superficial.

The kind of destructive energy Yang Chen wielded was something she was destined never to master.

“Damn it!” Yu Yourong directly dispersed the flame in her palm, growing angrier the more she thought about it.

She had originally planned to master that destructive energy to enhance her strength. Not only did she fail to control it, but this wretched Yang Chen had seen her entire body. Especially that flash of surprise in this bastard’s eyes at the time. He must have noticed something unusual about her.

Thinking of this, Yu Yourong’s fair cheeks couldn’t help but flush slightly.

Her silver teeth clenched as she warned in a low voice: “Yang Chen, if you dare to breathe even half a word about today’s events, this seat will kill you—even if it means giving up the Innate Radiance Essence!”

…

“Holy Lord, rest assured, this disciple has always been tight-lipped! Besides, the relationship between the two of us is extraordinary. With the soul connection formed by dual cultivation of our primordial spirits, if Holy Lord doesn’t even trust this disciple, who else can you trust?” Yang Chen said with a serious expression.

In his mind, however, the image of that pristine ravine from earlier resurfaced. He couldn’t help but wonder if it was because Yu Yourong, this beautiful woman, had fused with the Lunar Divine Jade that caused her to be different from ordinary people in that aspect.

“Who has an extraordinary relationship with you? You and this seat merely have a simple cooperative relationship! Stop trying to get close to this seat!” Yu Yourong scolded with a cold face. But the chill emanating from her body had noticeably lessened.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief inwardly. For a beautiful woman like Yu Yourong, who held such a high position, her pride must undoubtedly be immense.

If there hadn’t been the connection from their dual cultivation of primordial spirits, having seen her body and learned the secret of that part of her, this old woman would surely have spared no effort to kill him outright.

But now, she had only issued a few warnings.

Heh heh.

It seems the influence of the dual cultivation of primordial spirits was quite significant.

The matter of having Yu Yourong personally strengthen the bloodline of the Yu Clan could also be put on the agenda now.

Perhaps because she had just been completely open with Yang Chen, her emotions were rather complex, so Yu Yourong didn’t continue speaking with him. Instead, she walked to the side, lost in thought about something.

At this moment, Yang Chen looked around and couldn’t help but ask: “Holy Lord, this time we’re heading to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm—why haven’t I seen my master?”

Yang Chen felt some doubts in his heart.

His master’s cultivation had also reached the Void Refinement Realm, and she was the Holy Maiden—wouldn’t she be going to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm?

Moreover, during this period of time, he hadn’t seen his master at all. Even when he became the Holy Son, his master didn’t show up.

This didn’t align with his master’s usual behavior.
