Chapter 453: Ning Qingxue’s Ideal Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter
Although he was already in the Duan Heng Ranges, where chi was better than elsewhere, Ye Mo decided to return to Flowing Snake for spirit herbs in the future. His business there was finished, and he urgently needed to return to check on things.
When Ye Mo arrived at Flowing Snake, Luo Yue had again become famous. Not only had Yuan Bei been exposed for framing Luo Yue, but they had also been removed from the market overnight.
This incident reminded everyone of the Si Yang milk powder incident from last year. That company, ignoring its conscience to increase profits, was also kicked out of the market overnight and publicly shamed.
What Yuan Bei had done was worse than the milk powder company’s incident. They not only harmed the public but also murdered citizens to steal their star product, killing a grandfather and his grandson in the process. They were truly evil. If not for this incident and the victim, Lu Yingying, exposing them, no one would have known the Lu family’s bloody history.
With their plans to spread a virus, if officials hadn’t declared Yuan Zhirong's death a suicide, he would probably have been lynched by the enraged public.
Although the Yuan family was finished, they still possessed a huge fortune. Under immense pressure, their wealth was seized by the government for public use, with a portion given to victims as compensation.
Moreover, Luo Yue was now even more famous, and its products were in higher demand.
…
When Ye Mo returned to Flowing Snake, Ning Qingxue had been waiting for him.
“I want to go back to Yu State and see my family,” Ning Qingxue said.
“Only that?” Ye Mo smiled, caressing her hair.
“After visiting my parents, I want to focus on developing Luo Yue. I’m thinking the same as Sister Yu—perhaps one day we can turn this place into a city. A city belonging only to us, undisturbed. I like that idea. Although I know it’s unrealistic, it’s probably the ideal of everyone in Luo Yue.” Ning Qingxue, though she’d grown up in a large family and avoided its schemes, was familiar with such matters.
She hated that life, but Yu Miaodan’s suggestion about Luo Yue had given her hope.
If the land at Flowing Snake could be bought, perhaps they could build a paradise there. The main thing was that she believed in Ye Mo. He was an immortal cultivator; even if he couldn’t become a true immortal, he could still build a city.
“Okay, I promise you,” Ye Mo said, taking her hand. She knew how difficult it would be, but he wanted to fulfill her wish.
To do that, he needed power. Without it, it was just a dream. On Earth, raising his power was incredibly difficult. Even as the only cultivator, it was still very hard. Moreover, Ye Mo wasn’t happy with Flowing Snake’s land, but he didn’t say so.
“I’ll take you tomorrow, tonight—” Ye Mo’s mouth was covered by Ning Qingxue’s lips.
Ning Qingxue felt her face warm. She liked kissing Ye Mo.
After a while, Ning Qingxue looked up, blushing. “I can travel to Yu State tomorrow alone. I might need to go back and forth frequently in the future. Furthermore, I’m already at the peak of stage one; I can take care of myself. You have much to do; I can’t have you take me every time.”
Ye Mo smiled. Although he didn’t find taking Ning Qingxue to Yu State troublesome, he respected her opinion. She could indeed protect herself now.
“Okay, I’ll teach you fireballs tonight. I also have a chi-increasing pill; I’ll try to get you to stage two tonight,” he said.
However, Ning Qingxue put her arms around his neck. “You can teach me later. Tonight, I’ll stay with you.”
…
Ye Mo and Silver saw Ning Qingxue off to the plane before returning to the company. Silver couldn’t fly, so she stayed behind. Because Ning Qingxue hadn’t learned fireballs the previous night, Ye Mo could only give her several chi-increasing pills and all his fireball charms.
He had slept with Ning Qingxue last night, but they hadn’t gone further. Although Ye Mo knew Ning Qingxue wouldn’t reject him, he still wanted to find Luo Ying first. He had been with Luo Ying on the Luo Yue continent; she had saved him more than once, almost losing her life saving him before transmigrating.
He owed Luo Ying two lifetimes. So, in his heart, his master held the same place as Ning Qingxue. One thing Ye Mo hadn’t mentioned was that when he could build a city as Ning Qingxue wished, he would organize a grand wedding for both of them.
Ning Qingxue understood his thoughts. She embraced him for the rest of the night. Though they didn’t do anything more, it was enough for Ning Qingxue. As long as she was with Ye Mo, she was happy. If she hadn’t been away from her parents for so long and if there weren’t problems with Fei Yu, Ning Qingxue wouldn’t have wanted to leave Ye Mo.
Ye Mo knew he still needed to increase his power. He couldn’t take on an entire army, much less a country. Even within the hidden sects, he wasn’t invincible; in the inner hidden sects, it was far more complicated. Even the monk Wu Dan was his equal. Who could be sure that Wu Dao was the only master in the outer hidden sects?
Furthermore, Ye Mo wasn’t fighting alone anymore. He had family, a wife, and friends. Even if he could escape, they would be in grave danger.
Though he hadn’t been to the inner hidden sects, Ye Mo was sure there were stronger people than him, more than one or two. But even so, he still needed to increase his power and find spirit herbs.
He also needed to avenge Tai Yi for almost killing Ning Qingxue. He wasn’t going to tell her about this.
Before going to the inner hidden sects, Ye Mo still wanted to see where Zhang Zhihui had disappeared.
…
At Flowing Snake, Ye Mo stayed in his room, crafting magical artifacts all day. Before leaving, he wanted to give everyone important to him a defensive artifact.
When Ye Mo finished, he stored them in his ring. Immediately afterward, he sensed someone entering his room.
Ye Mo was shocked. Who was entering his room? He had just discovered it. Since when had such a powerful master arrived at Flowing Snake?
“Who are you?” Ye Mo spun around and saw a figure at the window.
