Chapter 1652 - 841: Pleasure (Part 2)

After he finished speaking, his eyes bitterly swept over Yun Che and Xia Yuanba, and he quickly headed in the direction Lan Xueruo was leaving. He knew Xia Yuanba’s background; he was just a small merchant from a remote place. This meant his brother must be a character with little background. Therefore, naturally, he wouldn’t hesitate to mock him.

Yun Che tilted his head and nonchalantly glanced behind him, coldly sneering: "People like him, his eyes are almost growing on top of his head."

(TL: Having eyes on top of the head means someone is so arrogant their eyes grow higher to look down on others.)

"Always like that. I’ve long gotten used to it." Xia Yuanba faced both anger and helplessness. Usually, Murong Ye had never truly bothered him even when giving him different looks. But this time, he was clearly threatening Yun Che, which angered him inside. Yet when considering the opponent’s strength and family background, he felt powerless. If it were just him, it might be okay because he still had the support of the vice-chief. But for Yun Che, it might truly be impossible to stay in the New Moon Origin Palace.

"Looks like this Murong Ye is not just casual fodder." Yun Che muttered.

Seeing Yun Che seem not to be angry, Xia Yuanba felt somewhat relieved and softly said: "Father is actually the governor of New Moon City! Not only that, his talent in the abyss is shocking. Although only 19 years old, he’s already reached Level 8 of the Nascent Profound Realm! Rumors say that recently, he almost broke into Level 9 of the Nascent Profound Realm. In the entire New Moon Abyss Palace, no one dares provoke him.

"Governor’s son? I see." Yun Che chuckled lightly, then suddenly said: "Wasn’t he trying to propose to Lan Xueruo, right?"

"Yes. Sister Lan Xueruo is both beautiful and gentle, so many brothers like her. But she and Brother Murong are recognized as a couple, because fundamentally, no one dares to compete with Brother Murong. Thus, brothers who like Sister Xueruo no longer dare get too close to her." Xia Yuanba then added in a strange tone: "Haozi is the first one I’ve seen daring enough to speak in such a way to Sister Xueruo. In the future, he must be careful of Murong Ye; though very strong, he’s a very petty person.

Yun Che shrugged his shoulders, but seemed not to take his advice at all, instead asking: "Yuanyuanba, this Lan Xueruo, where did she come from? I can say her family background is absolutely uncommon, so why did she come to the New Moon Origin Palace?"

Xia Yuanba shook his head: "That, I don’t know either. I only know she seems to be a relative of Xikong Elder, and she joined the Deep Profound Department with me during the enrollment training half a year ago. She’s never mentioned her hometown’s location before. But Sister Xueruo is truly amazing; this year she’s only 18, but she’s already reached Level 8 of the Nascent Profound Realm. She is the most talented person in this New Moon Abyss Palace, even more surprising than Brother Murong.

Both are at Level 8 of the newborn profound domain; Murong Ye 19 years old, Lan Xueruo 18 years old. Clearly, Lan Xueruo surpasses Murong Ye in talent.

Xiao Yulong (phonetic translation) reached Level 3 of the newborn profound realm at 20, already the strongest among the younger generation of the Xiao Family. Xia Qingyue reached the tenth level of the basic profound realm at 16, already a century-old genius in Cloud City. However, regardless of Murong or Lan Xueruo, either clearly surpass Xia Qingyue, not to mention Xiao Yulong. Similarly, in the big factions of New Moon City, this level of young person should not be rare. In comparison, Cloud City deserves to be called a forgotten little city. Honestly, the power level difference is too big. Xiao Lie’s grandfather is already considered the strongest person in Level 10 of the Spiritual Abyss Kingdom in Cloud City; but if he were to come to this New Moon City,

"Yuanguanba." Yun Che’s expression turned serious: "This is something I have to discuss very seriously with you."

"Yu, what is it?" Seeing Yun Che’s expression, Xia Yuanba suddenly became nervous.

"From now on, don’t call me brother-in-law!" Yun Che actually said.

"Why?" Xia Yuanba widened his eyes.

Yun Che gazed into the distance as he patted Xia Yuanba’s shoulder, replying: "Look at what Sister Xueruo said, there are many beauties in our grade, aren’t there?"

"Hmm; that seems to be true. But Sister Xueruo is still the most beautiful among all."

Yun Che’s eyebrows slightly twitched, and he spoke with a tone of righteousness: "Since the first class has so many beauties, if you keep calling me brother-in-law, won’t you expose the fact: I’m already married! How can I flirt with those beautiful senior and junior sisters!"

"..." Xia Yuanba’s brain froze for three seconds, mouth agape. Then he finally stuttered: "Brother-in-law, you already have my sister. If you were with another girl, um, isn’t that ’lame’.

"No," Yun Che turned around, speaking with deadly sincerity: "When I tell Sister Xueruo how your sister might oppose me, that’s exactly what your sister agreed to me... Also’. In this lifetime, it’s uncertain whether I’ll see your sister again."

Yun Che gazed into the distance. Then his gaze became deeper: "It’s the ultimate goal of man to pursue. One is to conquer the world, the other is to conquer women. Conquering the world is a new height in life, conquering women is the scenery of embellishing life. If a man can conquer the woman he desires, even if he conquers the whole world, he will still be lonely on the summit, feeling desolate everywhere. Yuanba, do you think what I just said as your brother-in-law is correct?"

"......................

"If I don’t call you brother-in-law, what should I call you?" Since Yun Che and Xia Qingyue’s marriage was decided when they were infants, Xia Yuanba always called him brother-in-law. From childhood till now, except for brother-in-law, his brain couldn’t really turn around, and he never thought of calling him anything else within such a short time.

"Regarding this"... You can call me big brother, boss, Brother Yun, Brother Che, Brother Yin, or simply call me Yun Che, big brother. In short, just stop calling me brother-in-law."

"Great! Oh! Then I’ll call you boss from now on, okay?"

"Fine."

"Boss, boss." Hmm, still feels a bit strange. Ah, right, earlier Sister Xueruo said she’d go to the pharmacy to buy medicine to handle tonight’s banquet. Should we go there too? Since small brother has just entered the Abyss Department, there’s a chance to immediately obtain a set of pills from the Pharmacy. You can get a set every month.

"... Don’t call me brother."

"I forgot, I’ll certainly pay attention." Then brother-in-law, should we go to the residence or the pharmacy first?"

"%%%"

".

Yun Che followed Xia Yuanba to take a set of pills, and these pills indeed met Yun Che’s expectations. They were the lowest level of Profounding Pills and Profound Opening Pills, with drug efficacy around forty or fifty percent. Using this level of supportive pills, compared to major sects, their effects were worse. No wonder the average strength of the New Moon Origin Palace has always been stagnant.

Sikong Han arranged a living space for Yun Che adjacent to Xia Yuanba. Although small, it was very elegant, with all necessities, much better than Yun Che expected. At this point, having roamed outside for half a year, Yun Che finally had a place to settle down and sleep.

Yun Che lay on the small bed and quickly fell asleep. During the past half-year, he always slept in the wild. He never stayed in any inn, nor enjoyed the privilege of sleeping in a bed. This time, he slept particularly comfortably and steadily from noon till evening, until woken by Xia Yuanba’s knock.

"Brother, are you awake? The banquet is starting soon, shall we go?"

Xia Yuanba clearly knew what would happen at this banquet, so he really hoped Yun Che wouldn’t attend. This was to help him avoid facing challenges, and there was certainly the possibility he might be deliberately harmed by his opponents.

Yun Che opened his eyes, quickly stood up from the bed: "I’m going! Please wait a moment, we’ll leave immediately!"
