Chapter 1: Is My Doodle Alright?
Translator: Tim Editor: Tehrn/Carolin
โYe Mo, Ye Mo, are you alright? Get up! Class is about to start. This is Merciless Iceโs classโhurry!โ A concerned voice whispered near Ye Moโs ear. He felt disoriented.
โThis idiotโs probably too embarrassed to show his face,โ another voice sneered. Ye Mo was fully awake now.
He looked around, confused. Unfamiliar faces surrounded him; he knew no one.
His bewildered expression sparked another round of laughter, clearly directed at him. He didnโt dare react, remaining vigilant against any potential attack.
Ye Mo glanced at the student beside himโthe only one not laughing, the same person who had woken him.
โWhere am I? Who are you? Why does this look like a classroom?โ Ye Mo asked in astonishment.
Another burst of laughter erupted.
โYe Mo, youโre dense! Do you think you can write Yan Yan a love letter? It was fine when you were still part of the Ye family, but not anymore. Be careful. Next class is English with Yun Bing[1]; donโt get caught by her,โ his deskmate whispered urgently, low enough for only Ye Mo to hear. His anxiety was palpable.
โIโฆ I canโt remember. I had a terrible headache; Iโve forgotten so much,โ Ye Mo said helplessly.
His deskmate sighed, unconvinced. He assumed Ye Mo was simply trying to save face, still refusing to acknowledge his expulsion from the Ye family.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Ye Moโs head. He remembered making an Energy Returning pill with his master, Luo Ying, when the Western Flow Group attacked. Explosions, battlesโฆ then his master carried him away using an escape charm. But how did he end up here? Was this still the Luo Yue Continent?
He was safe, but what about his master? Only three years older than him, she was targeted by the Western Flow Groupโs young master, who desired her beauty and was rejected. This rejection sparked the conflict.
If his master was in the Western Flow Groupโs handsโฆ the consequences were unthinkable. Overwhelmed with worry, Ye Mo stood abruptly.
A cold-faced young woman, carrying several books, approached the podium. Her chilling gaze silenced the classโs laughter instantly. Everyone knew Yun Bingโs English class tolerated no disruptions. Her attention meant trouble.
Ye Mo felt something was wrong. He understood the words, but the language was different. Was this not the Luo Yue Continent? Another wave of headache brought a flood of memories.
He was a third-generation member of the Ye family. His father, Ye Wentian, had died two years prior; he had no memory of his mother. After his fatherโs death, a DNA test revealed he wasn't Ye Wentianโs biological son, leading to his expulsion.
He remembered his younger sister, Ye Ling, and brother, Ye Zifengโboth his fatherโs children, but not his motherโs. Three years earlier, anticipating his exile, his father arranged a marriage with the prestigious Ning family in Beijing.
The Ning family, delighted at the prospect of marrying into the top five families in China, readily agreed. Their granddaughter, Ning Qingxue, only 21 at the time, was the capitalโs most beautiful woman.
Meanwhile, Ye Mo became the Ye familyโs scandal: a medical examination revealed he was naturally impotent. Despite attempts at concealment, the news spread like wildfire, damaging the Ye familyโs reputation considerably.
โArgh!โ Ye Mo cried out, standing up in agony. He almost dropped his pants to check. He realized he might have been reborn into another Ye Mo, but the devastating truth was his impotence. Heโd rather be dead.
โWhatโs your name?! And how dare you yell in my class?! See me after class!โ The teacher, furious at the interruption, glared at him.
The students snickered, suppressing their laughter. This teacher was known for her frequent use of office referrals. Grades were at stake.
Ye Mo sat down dejectedly. While unsure of family intrigues, he suspected his impotence, not his lack of biological connection to his father, was the reason for his expulsion. The DNA test resultsโ validity was questionable.
He wasn't concerned about the Ye family. His priority was his impotence and Luo Yingโs wellbeing.
Then he understood the classโs laughter. The previous Ye Mo, despite being expelled, tried to woo the classโs most attractive girl, Yan Yan. Heโd plastered his love letter on the board, only for Yan Yan to contemptuously ask, from the podium: โYoung Master Ye, will you even be able to perform?โ
The whole class erupted. The original Ye Mo probably died of humiliation. The thought of forcing a naturally impotent man into bed was insulting. Even though it wasn't him, Ye Mo felt his face burn.
He looked at Yan Yan, a curvy girl, but her behavior repulsed him. He couldn't understand the original Ye Moโs pursuit. Then it hit him: while in the Ye family, everyone fawned over him, including Yan Yan. His impotence exposed, heโd sought a girlfriend only to be humiliated, leading to his collapse and Ye Moโs reincarnation.
His new reality was harsh. He didnโt understand the beautiful teacherโs lecture. He reviewed his memories, his face grim. Besides his impotence, the scarcity of Heaven and Earth spirit Chi here was unacceptable. This wasn't a place for cultivation. Would he die on this โEarthโ?
University was irrelevant. He needed to understand his predicament. His impotence had tarnished the Ye familyโs reputation. Even expelled, was he safe? Something else might have occurred.
At the end of class, Ye Mo bolted, ignoring the teacherโs summons. He needed to check if his impotence was real.
Fortunately, Ning Hai University had many alleys. Ye Mo found a deserted one and dropped his pants.
His โdoodleโ was indeed small, but he wasnโt disappointed. He sighed in relief. It wasnโt natural impotence; a blocked meridian caused a false impression. As a medical master on Luo Yue Continent, he knew instantly.
Unfortunately, Earthโs technology couldn't unblock the meridian, but it wouldn't be hard for him. Reaching the third stage of Chi Gathering would open it automatically.
But disappointment returned. The spirit Chi scarcity made reaching that stage a daunting, perhaps impossible, task. His impotence might be permanent. Sighing, he started to pull up his pants, when a scream pierced the air.
โScumbag!!โ A high-pitched female voice rang out. Focused on his examination, Ye Mo hadnโt checked his surroundings. The alley unexpectedly continued further.
He wasn't a nudist, and had little to show. He quickly pulled up his pants and prepared to flee.
โYe Mo? Is that you?โ The woman, using a surprised tone, clearly knew him.
