Chapter 97: Future God of Murder

The door was quietly pushed open, the light sound did not even rouse Leng Ya who was still quite confused. Shortly after, a familiar voice sounded beside his ear, “Xiao Feng......”

Leng Ya fiercely turned to support the limping Leng Qiu. “Mother, why did you come out.”

Leng Qiu turned a hand over to hold on to Leng Ya, she looked at him and said, “Xiao Feng, the conversation you just had, I heard it.”

Leng Ya startled and became increasingly panicked before he mumbled, “Mother, actually... I... he...”

Leng Qiu shook her head, “Xiao Feng, your mother has been blind for almost ten years, now that my eyesight returned, I see clearer than before. I would never misjudge a person, even though Mr. Ye is very young, he’s truly a dragon among the people, judging by the way he healed my eyesight with just a single wave of his hand. Who among all people in the entire world could do the same? Even if my Xiao Feng followed behind his back, I will completely be at ease.”

“Mother...”

“Go ahead, Xiao Feng, go and find him. Do as he says, and look for that God of Sword Chu Cangming. Although your father disappointed us, in your mother’s mind, he will always be a hero of indomitable spirit, and I have no regrets. Xiao Feng, your mother’s greatest wish is for you to be just like your father, a powerful man with the authority over a whole country. Can you fulfill this cherished desire of mine?” Leng Qiu supported herself on his shoulder and stared with anticipation.

“Then... when should I leave?” Leng Ya asked absent-mindedly at his mother.

“Tonight. You should leave tonight.” Leng Qiu said firmly, but her voice evidently trembled.

Leng Ya heavily knelt down on the floor at his mother’s legs with tears held back and said, “But mother, I hate to part from you, I won’t be at ease......”

Leng Qiu’s eyes became wet, but she still forced a smile. “Foolish child. Someone who is not willing to part with his parents will never truly grow up. Master Ye is a person with great passion and righteousness. Mother has not misjudged him, and he will never treat me unfairly. Furthermore, Madame Ye had sent somebody over to tell me that I am permitted me to transfer to her place and accompany her. How could you still not feel relieved. Tonight you shall leave, if you refuse to go, your mother will... drive you out with a rod!”

“Mother, I’ll go...... I’ll go today. As your son, I won’t let you down. I will not become someone like him, I will surpass him. I, Leng Ya, will never disappoint my mother, or even lose to another person!”

............

Outside the door in the courtyard, Ye Wuchen then quietly retreated and proceeded towards Ye Shuiyao’s courtyard.

Leng Ya, you are not a good son, but you have a good mother.

He would not disappoint. I never choose wrong . If he really was useless, I would not have wasted so much time.

When Ye Wuchen returned with Ning Xue, Leng Ya was already silently waiting for him at the doorway. When he approached, he slightly bowed his head and said coldly, “Tell me how I can find this Chu Cangming. I shall leave this very night!”

Ye Wuchen nodded in satisfaction. In a low voice he said, “I hope after three years, I will see someone who will make the people in the entire Heavenly Star Continent tremble with fear—a God of Murder!”

............

Towards evening, a palanquin stopped by the gate of the Ye residence. A tall, middle-aged man with a thick and solid body pushed aside the guard’s blockade. He swaggered as he entered, followed by a delicate woman with graceful steps who kept her head lowered. Soon after, an ear-splitting roar of laughter resonated through the once peaceful Ye residence, the vibration had caused the entire residence to faintly shiver. Hua Shuirou immediately covered her ears when he bellowed that loud laugh.

“Hahahaha! I haven’t been able to stroll around here for quite a long time. I didn’t expect the Ye residence to look so pleasing.”

This is the so-called “loving the house and its crow”. Hua Zhentian was the overprotective sort, and since he is pleased with this son-in-law, naturally he would also be pleased with the Ye residence. Wang Wenshu, who had been busy in the anteroom, was the first to come out to greet him, she didn’t need to guess, from the sound of his laughter alone she was able to figure out which godly being had arrived. She could only force a big smile and greet him with a lot of enthusiasm. However, she did not expect Hua Zhentian to be so clearly unusual, unexpectedly acting more enthusiastic than herself. Wang Wenshu had yet to speak when Hua Zhentian had already greeted her with a large smile, “Is madam Ye in good health? This Hua has not come to visit in a long time, it’s really a huge offense!”

“Yes, in good health!” Wang Wenshu came at once, “General Hua, your honorable presence brings light to our Ye Family’s humble dwelling. It cannot be regarded as an offense, contrary to that, we didn’t welcome you in from our doorstep, that’s considered as an offense.”

Hua Zhentian waved his hand, “Hey! We will be joined as one big family soon, why do you have to be so formal? Where’s brother Ye? I’ll go and chat with him.”

“One... one big family?” Wang Wenshu was stunned. Who is going to be a part of your family? How pretentious!

“What?” seeing Wang Wenshu’s obviously alarmed face, Hua Zhentian puzzled over it and was quick to realized what was going on. Pulling his beard, he asked, “Maybe that young fellow still hasn’t told you guys anything yet?”

“Oh? Ah... that’s...”

Hua Zhentian stomped his foot, almost ready to curse, “That young fellow already went to my place to propose, and you didn’t even know. What kind of mother are you? Let me tell you, your son has already taken advantage of my beloved daughter, your Ye Family can’t back out. If he refuses to marry my daughter, I shall burn down your entire house!”

“Daddy...” Hua Shuirou lightly pulled on Hua Zhentian. He even shouted the words “taken advantage”, she wished she could squeeze into a hole on the ground to hide herself. The meaning of those words were open to interpretation, but most people might jump to the worst meaning.

Wang Wenshu finally pieced together the clues. Thinking about the two visitors Ye Wuchen mentioned, Hua Zhentian and Hua Shuirou were exactly two people! She now had some basis, then immediately said, “Please don’t be mad, General Hua. I’ll call Chen-er right away.”

“Don’t call him.” Hua Zhentian waved his hand. “Bring my daughter along to find that young fellow. I’ll go find brother Ye and old man Ye... Ah, it’s General Ye. Some words should not be heard by the two youngsters.” After he finished, he no longer paid any attention to Wang Wenshu. Taking big steps, he proceeded inside, as if it were his own house.

“Madame Ye.” Hua Shuirou slightly lowered her head, as she had softly and timidly called out.

At this moment, Wang Wenshu already had some idea to what Ye Wuchen had been up to these days with Hua Zhentian’s words and Hua Shuirou’s delicately shy manner. Her heart suddenly became overwhelmed ----with joy, of course. When Ye Wuchen told her he wanted Hua Shuirou, even though she supported him, in her mind she knew that the task would be extremely difficult. She did not expect that in just two days time, Hua Zhentian brought along Hua Shuirou himself and took the initiative to pay a visit. And not only did Hua Shuirou agree, but so did Hua Zhentian, who had been the one to arrange her marriage with Lin Xiao of the Lin Family... She could only exclaim in admiration. He deserved to be called her son. Anything he wanted, he just stretched a hand and grabs it. As his mother, she no longer worried for him anymore.

She laughed. “Why do you still call me Madam Ye? Soon, you will be calling me mother.”

Hua Shuirou’s face turned red and her hands pinched the corner of her handkerchief. She becomes speechless from her shyness, but in her heart, there were traces of happiness. This is the first time that Wang Wenshu had been able to observe Hua Shuirou meticulously, and she became more and more pleased with her. Not just an absolutely splendid beauty that had amazed Tian Long Nation, her extremely docile character was also rare.

“Come, let me bring you to see Chen-er. Hmph, this young man even dares to take advantage of you. I will teach him a lesson.” Wang Wenshu pulled on one of her hands, leading her to the direction of Ye Wuchen’s courtyard. Her mouth uttered reprimands, but any person would be able to hear the proudness in her voice. Without any thoughts of any disciplinary actions, perhaps she would not even let him kneel down when she scolded him.

“He... He didn’t take advantage of me.” Hua Shuirou responded in an attempt to explain on behalf of Ye Wuchen.

In the entire way, Wang Wenshu had done all the asking and Hua Shuirou did all the answering, but she did not ask what Ye Wuchen had done to Hua Shuirou. Ye Wuchen was currently guiding Ye Shuiyao’s lily-white hands, teaching her to paint a perfect lotus flower. It was not the first time that Ye Shuiyao’s right hand had been in his. She tried to calm herself down and not think of the warm touch and close breath of a man, yet she could not hide the fact that the sides of her face turned red.

Receiving the a message from Xiao Lu, he reluctantly let go of her hands and returned to his courtyard, leaving Ning Xue behind with Ye Shuiyao. Wang Wenshu, who waited by the doorway had a mysterious smile on her face. Pointing to his room, she said in a low voice, “Chen-er, good choice.” She then left quietly to look for Hua Zhentian in order to discuss some “important matters”.

It was Hua Shuirou’s first time to sit inside the room of a man. She felt her heart beating faster. Quietly sitting there despite her nervous and restless state, her body became stiff. Ye Wuchen pushed the door and came in. As he closed the door, Hua Shuirou stood up immediately, like a startled little bunny, then quietly lowered her head.

“Xiao Rourou, did you miss me?” Ye Wuchen said laughing as he approached little by little.

She could not bear such forward words, only a few would turn her face burning hot. She tried hard to open her mouth and deny it, “No... not at all. Daddy brought me here.”

“Faces turn red if one tells lies.” Ye Wuchen stayed standing in front of her, appreciating her charming face, now filled with redness. This was an extremely docile, extremely delicate, and extremely shy young woman. This kind of woman could not have existed in the world he was born into.

Hua Shuirou’s hands covered her face. Along with his approach, his breath grew closer and closer, causing her to be intoxicated and made her head spin.

Ye Wuchen slightly lowered his head, using a hand to lift her chin as her eyes filled with alarm and expectations. “Would you like to do anything similar to what we did before?”

Hua Shuirou blinked. Quietly closing her eyes, her lips slightly shifted, and she held the posture of waiting for him to taste her. She did not even know why every time she was under his gaze, she would easily sink into him. Their acquaintance had just spanned a short three days.

Ye Wuchen smiled with satisfaction. He leaned forward and softly planted a kiss on her right cheek.
