Chapter 231: Master Emerges! Cross-Province Teleportation Array! (Part 2)

Ye Chen immediately flew to the cave.

Soon, he was outside the quiet chamber, seeing his master.

His master stood there, graceful with a ponytail, smiling with shallow dimples.

“Master, you’ve finally come out of seclusion. Was your injury severe?”

Ye Chen had always been worried about this.

Nangong Wan’s eyes flashed with joy upon seeing Ye Chen.

She shook her head in response, “My injury healed in less than a month.”

Then she lifted her delicate chin, her voice tinged with pride. “After my injury healed, I intended to come out, but I had a sudden inspiration, so I continued my seclusion.

“This time, my cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and my primordial spirit is twice as strong as before.

“My current strength is at least twice what it was before seclusion.

“I can easily kill Xue Jiumo now!

“I must be stronger than you now!”

Seeing his master’s proud look, expecting praise,

Ye Chen smiled. “Master is indeed the number one female cultivator in Great Yan Province!

“In front of Master, all enemies are mere chickens and dogs.

“I naturally can’t compare to Master.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s praise, Nangong Wan smiled even more happily, her eyes forming crescents.

Ye Chen had previously avenged her by killing Xue Jiumo.

Nangong Wan was overjoyed, but still somewhat unaccustomed, even feeling a bit lost.

She preferred to protect Ye Chen herself.

So, this time, with her cultivation advancing, Nangong Wan was exceptionally happy.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Chen. “During my months of seclusion, nothing major happened, right?

“That Xue Jiumo had a powerful friend who might seek revenge…

“Might…”

As she spoke, Nangong Wan’s beautiful eyes widened.

Her melodious voice faltered, and she showed an incredulous expression.

She pointed her jade-like finger at Ye Chen. “You…”

“You broke through to the mid-stage of Deity Transformation Realm?”

Feeling Ye Chen’s aura, Nangong Wan couldn’t remain calm.

Ye Chen had actually broken through again!

How could this be?

Ye Chen immediately shook his head. “It was just a fluke!

“Although I have reached the mid-stage of the Deity Transformation, my strength is far inferior to Master’s!

“A prodigy like Master can defeat enemies across realms with ease and could suppress me with one hand…”

Thinking about how she had been smug in front of Ye Chen just because of her slight advancement in cultivation, and hearing Ye Chen flatter her, Nangong Wan’s face reddened. “You insolent disciple…

“You insolent disciple!

“I don’t want you anymore!

“Go away!”

Seeing Nangong Wan’s adorable, flustered expression, Ye Chen’s smile grew wider.

However, his master had a thin skin.

So, he still needed to coax her.

Ye Chen took out a gift he had prepared long ago.

It was a black jade bottle, incredibly transparent.

“Master, this is a gift I prepared for you, a Jade Purity Bottle personally refined by the Supreme Elder of Jade Pond!

“It’s powerful and can emit divine light to immobilize enemies.

“In a critical moment, it can be thrown to trap enemies. Even a late-stage Deity Transformation enemy can be trapped for at least a hundred breaths. It’s a top-grade Dao artifact!”

With her face flushed and feeling both embarrassed and angry, Nangong Wan’s eyes lit up as she looked at the Jade Purity Bottle.

Clearly, she was tempted.

But she still turned her face away. “No…

“I won’t use my spirit stones for you anymore, I’ll buy things myself!

“Go away!”

Ye Chen loved seeing his master’s proud and stubborn expression and smiled slightly. “This Jade Purity Bottle cost me two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones.

“Such a top-grade life-saving Dao artifact isn’t sold to outsiders by the Jade Pond Sacred Land. It’s impossible to buy it.

“Most importantly, I stored two hundred tons of Jade Pond Spirit Water in this Jade Purity Bottle!

“Master, you know the effects of Jade Pond Spirit Water.

“The Saint Master of Jade Pond Sacred Land told me that its effects on alchemy and artifact refining are just one aspect. If used for bathing, it makes the skin white and translucent, radiating a soft glow. Daily use can make one look like a legendary fairy, glowing with health…

“If Master uses it for bathing…”

Hearing Ye Chen mention bathing, Nangong Wan seemed to think of something and blushed. “You insolent disciple!”

Ye Chen realized his mistake and looked innocent. “Master, I really didn’t mean to peek back then, I was just a mortal at the time, and I needed to use the bathroom at night. There was no toilet in the cave, so I went outside…”

Nangong Wan blushed even more. “Stop talking…”

She grabbed the Jade Purity Bottle directly, reluctant to part with it.

Ye Chen smiled.

Indeed, no woman could resist high-end skincare products.

Earth women were like this.

Female cultivators in the cultivation world were the same.

Nangong Wan examined the Jade Purity Bottle and suddenly looked suspiciously at Ye Chen. “How do you know that woman Yu Yuwei?

“And how did you manage to get so much Jade Pond Spirit Water from the stingy Jade Pond Sacred Land?”

Ye Chen smiled and began to tell Nangong Wan about what had happened during her seclusion.

Nangong Wan listened quietly.

At key points, she was spirited and looked at Ye Chen with admiring eyes.

Upon learning that Ye Chen single-handedly killed three demon kings, Nangong Wan felt dejected again.

She felt she would never have the chance to protect Ye Chen in her lifetime.

She felt particularly downcast.

Ye Chen knew what Nangong Wan was thinking and held her small hand. “Although my cultivation has now surpassed Master’s, Master must still strive to cultivate.

“The immortal path is long, and I hope Master will always be by my side.”

Nangong Wan blushed, turned her face away from Ye Chen. “You insolent disciple!”

But her small hand, held by Ye Chen, did not struggle.

Nangong Wan’s ears twitched as she looked deeper into the cave. “Huh, it feels like there’s someone in the cave?”

She quickly withdrew her hand, afraid of being discovered.

Ye Chen was momentarily stunned.

But he quickly realized.

About five months ago, he had locked Lin Ke’er, who had drugged him, in the quiet chamber.

Then he had completely forgotten about her!

Ye Chen felt a bit embarrassed…
