“Your face had the most serious burn and was also the latest to be treated. So, it will take another month before it’s fully healed.” Wu Chong indifferently throws this explanation out there without further detail.
This man, except for the first day where he said a few nice words, he’s been giving off a hard to get near vibe the entire way like Ling Yue offended him in some way.
Touching her own face over this knowledge, she figured it’s pointless to argue on this point. Sadly, the bastard just wouldn’t leave it at that and threw in another comment to make her face instantly turn into a frown, “Your face, it may have changed a bit after healing.”

“Changed?” Although Ling Yue haven’t always taken her own looks as the most important factor in her own life, but as a woman, it’s still somewhat unnerving.“You’re already ugly anyways, a bit more wouldn’t change anything,” Wu Chong continues flapping his poisonous tongue without any clue to being a gentlemen.
“Scram!” In a fit of rage, she makes a grab for a pile of snow to toss it at the bastard.
Naturally this wouldn’t work against someone like the Ghost Emperor, but it did give Wu Chong quite a laugh though, thus irritating the girl till she’s stamping her feet in annoyance.
Her face… Why is it like that, or is it really mainly due to the Nirvana Heart Lotus?
Not minding the fact that he’s being ignored now while they strolled towards the bottom of the mountain, the man soon fell into a deep contemplation while they walked.
There’s no denying Ling Yue was a natural born beauty in her own rights, but among the many women he’s seen thus far, she couldn’t be called the greatest. Take Xue Pian Ran for example, the Sacred Maiden of the Dan Palace was surely above her in looks, yet, only this dastardly girl would catch his fancy.
However, all of that only applied to the previous Ye Ling Yue.Wu Chong still hasn’t forgotten about that night, his heart was thumping, burning in pain even over the new version of the girl. He doesn’t know how to explain it, the looks, the touch, the vocals, all of it was the same. Yet, something’s changed….
To be clear, this wasn’t just some ordinary change where it’s a new skin or something superficial, that couldn’t possibly make this man be so hypnotized and yearning for an individual, it’s something far deeper at the microbe’s level. If he had to put it into some sort of wording, it would be a charming demoness, or maybe a seductive fox that’s out to suck the essence within the male populous. What’s worse, Wu Chong’s almost certain the girl herself didn’t even have a clue about the transformation.
Realizing how far he’s strayed from reality, Wu Chong’s heart immediately got all uncomfortable and sour inside. The reasoning? Ling Yue already mentioned more than once that she intends to head off to North Qing as soon as she returns where Feng Shen, that useless kid, will be waiting…..
He’s unwilling, unwilling to accept the fact that a woman whom he couldn’t even touch, at the cost of nearly losing the ability to raise his manhood, would be tainted by his other half while he could only watch in the shadows.
Now that’s where the facial bandages comes into play, it’s his form of exacting revenge on Feng Shen. If he couldn’t enjoy the woman of his heart then the other half won’t either. Donning a malicious grin, Wu Chong briskly picks up his pace to follow behind that swaying hip like a wolf wagging its tail behind his back.
Continuing on like this until they reached the base of the mountain, the silence was finally broken after they came across a settlement.
“This place is called Deity Fall Village, the ice lake here could help absolve the potency within your body. That night I brought you here out of urgency. Don’t worry though, it’s only located north of the Northwestern Plains, about two days worth of travel time.” Only now does Ling Yue realize how far she’s gotten from everyone else.
Naturally the mentioned two days worth of travel time was calculated using the girl’s own speed. If it was Wu Chong himself, it would only take an hour like how they came the first time.
“Sister Caier is still back at the Underground City, I must return as soon as possible and head up to North Qing,” her words instantly warranted a snort from the man.
“With just your skills, you still dare to say you will go to North Qing? Don’t forget what I told you earlier. Before I am satisfied you cannot go anywhere.” Using his big powerful hands, Wu Chong readily lifts her up by the back collar like a little chickling being handled by their caregiver.
Initially she wanted to cry out in protest here but thought better of it. Ling Yue’s a quick learner, she hasn’t forgotten the punishment for disobedience against this bastard.

Furthermore, as annoying as this gesture was, Ling Yue was more preoccupied about the statement the man said to her back at the Underground City. It was something along the line of “I will lecture you” and that her skills were terrible.
Although Wu Chong’s character wasn’t very good by any means, but not even she could deny his strength and powers. Let’s not mention the others, just take that Soul Reaping Chain which was used by Zhan Gang for example, it was also originally from this bastard next to herself.
In comparison, Ling Yue’s own ability and secrets almost seem miniscule now that she’s thought about it. Sure, she has the Black Cauldron left behind by Mr. Red Mist, that’s definitely a boon on her part. However, Wu Chong held so much more than just personally strength, she’s sure of it based on the time she spent thus far with him.
Very soon, the pair had come up to an empty snowfield. Here, the man was oddly serious without an ounce of mischievousness left in that face.
“Take all of your techniques out to show me. Don’t worry, I won’t fight back when you attack me.” Raising his nose higher than the sky, Wu Chong snorts and gives off a feel of superiority.
Won’t fight back for me to hit?
Ye Ling Yue thought she was mishearing things at first so she inquired for more details, “And what if you fight back, what then?”
Seeing the strong level of eagerness in the girl’s iris, Wu Chong simply couldn’t resist a laugh, “If I fight back then I will teach you a new martial technique.”
Wu Chong’s martial technique?
Now how could she object to that? She’s been gnashing her teeth from the itchiness to clobber this bastard the entire time.
But unlike the girl’s eagerness to fight though, Wu Chong on the other hand was rather plain in his expression, bored even when Ling Yue suddenly lashed forward.
Fortunately their clothes had both been changed. Donning a tight fitting robe mended with cloud silks, her movements were swift and fast, thrusting a powerful pang of Yuan energy out from her palm as well as a blast of spirit force from above.
Wu Chong didn’t move, he only pricked his brow like he’s amused.
Sure enough, Ling Yue’s double attack was easily evaded like her front’s been emptied. But that’s not going to be enough to make the girl give up. In a slight flick of hand, a silvery gleam swiftly flies out of the sleeve followed by numerous beams of light from her fingertips.
This was her all, the strongest offensive she could muster – the Twinkling Star Dagger and Measureless Finger Technique.
Sadly, this only warranted another grin from the man himself. With a whisk of the sleeve, an invisible barrier instantly appears to deflect everything, turning them to dust like they are nothing.
If this was any other person Wu Chong himself would never have bothered to even make a face. He’s the lord and master of the Underground Palace, meaning he’s very familiar with all sorts of martial techniques of this world.
But just now, Ling Yue’s method of utilizing the Twinkling Star Dagger was something he never saw before.
“I’m not fighting anymore.” Deflated, she’s somewhat discouraged after discovering how dreadfully weak she was in front of this monster.
This kind of baby picking a fight with an adult was very frustrating for her.
“Angry now?” Chuckling a few times at the girl’s submission, he was ready to move forward only to be…..
