Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 175: Remorse

"Brother Chen, why are you here?!"

Lan Ming jolted in surprise as Ye Chen entered her room.

Shouldn’t he be bullying naive sister MeiMei?

"Humph, dare to laugh at me. Do you really think I will let you go?" Ye Chen did not answer her question and snorted.

Although he really looked forward to dual cultivating with his junior sister, the time wasn’t right. Especially since he felt his breakthrough would not be simple.

It was better to go back to sect and dual cultivate to avoid any accident.

There were, after all, a lot of enemies coveting his treasures. If there was an accident, they would definitely grab the opportunity.

So being cautious was the correct decision.

There was also another reason and that was body cultivation art from Divine Resonance Art.

He had not forgotten about the ’Divine Celestial Physique’ he could cultivate with this. It’s just that he didn’t have the high-tier herbs and spirit fruits required for cultivation before.

But it was different now. He had more than enough after the trial from the mystic realm.

So he could cultivate the divine celestial physique first to better make his foundation more solid and also improve the gains from dual cultivation.

This will not only benefit him but also Li Mei, who had a supreme physique.

Lan Ming did not know his thoughts so she became puzzled.

Her good sister Li Mei was, after all, a shy rabbit; it won’t be easy to take her down without opportunity.

Right now was a perfect opening, as the shy rabbit had gone through a lot of trials alone.

If Ye Chen missed this, then he would have to make some effort later.

So she was bewildered at why he didn’t take down shy rabbit.

If Ye Chen knew what she was thinking, he would certainly laugh because he held great leverage over his cute junior sister, not to mention her master too.

"Brother Chen, what do you want to do?"

Lan Ming cast aside her thoughts and inquired.

"Of course, to punish you." Ye Chen rolled his eyes at her.

However, he couldn’t punish her exactly the same as Li Mei because she would be happy.

He wanted her to feel remorse like his junior sister.

Seeing that his eyes flashed with an evil look, Lan Ming felt a chill down her spine.

But when she thought he would bully her at most, she calmed down.

Didn’t she look forward to this?

"Dare you laugh at me? Let me teach you a lesson." Her anticipation did not escape Ye Chen’s eyes.

He grabbed her willowy waist and laid her down on his lap.

However, her back was facing him.

Lan Ming suddenly felt chill somewhere; she tried to resist but it was useless.

"B-brother Chen. W-we can talk," she stammered.

"Humph, weren’t you fearless before?" Ye Chen smiled as he raised his hand. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"W-wai—"

Slap!

Her cries were cut through by a crisp sound and a stinging pain assaulted her bottom.

The worst thing was that her brother Chen used his spiritual qi, which meant even after taking pills, the pain and swelling would not go away.

"B-brother Chen, not this! Anything is fine but not this," she pleaded as she thought even sitting would be difficult.

However, Ye Chen displayed no mercy.

"I am punishing you not only for laughing but also for stepping on my foot," he stated.

At the entrance of the mystic forest, both Li Mei and Lan Ming were jealous of the female disciples looking at him.

He had not forgotten this grudge.

Lan Ming wanted to cry but no tears came out.

Slap!

His hand landed on her soft bottom again.

Soon the room was filled with Lan Ming’s pleading cries and crisp echoes.

She got punished and felt more remorse than Li Mei.

...

Just as Ye Chen was busy once again, a terrifying news shook the mystic city.

"What?! You are saying Li Mei, Lan Ming, Liu Jiarong, and Su Ying have been engaged to Ye Chen?! Also Wang Yiyi and Lin Xian’er are also expected to be engaged to him?!"

"Yes! I don’t know about Su Ying, Wang Yiyi, and others, but I saw Liu Jiarong and Lin Xian’er not denying it."

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked and they all started to resent Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: Why don’t I know about such good news at all? Why didn’t anyone inform me? (puzzled yet happy)

Just as everyone was bewildered and shocked, the Wu family, the Su family, Jing Xiao, and Zhen Yunqi were also the same.

Their disciples and daughters had been engaged to someone; why don’t they know anything about it?

Clearly someone was deliberately spreading such news.

However, they couldn’t understand the purpose behind this.

Nevertheless, they did not come out to deny it.

Su Qiming: Cough! Cough! I can’t do anything. The rumors are spreading too fast (pretending to be helpless).

Wu Tianlei: Our Wu family does not force anyone to marry; it is their decision. (righteous yet smirking inside)

Jing Xiao: Humph, dare to ask me to be a maid. Now let me see you calling me master. (laughing happily)

Wang Yiyi: Why did I become a sacrifice? (innocent look)

Zhen Yunqi: Argh, I am so helpless. (Frustrated)

The whole mystic city was in chaos again.

So many fairies had been snatched; how could the single dogs remain calm?

...

...

...

"Master, what happened? Why do you look so tired?"

Li Mei inquired with worry as she saw Zhen Yunqi’s exhausted look.

Lan Ming also looked with a question, trying to hide the stinging pain.

Only Ye Chen remained calm.

"It’s nothing; there was a slight problem with my cultivation," she replied with assurance.

She couldn’t say that the reason behind her weary look was a brat at the Qi gathering realm, right?

Who would respect her as a senior then?

"Here, take this; they are for you." She suddenly took out a bunch of papers as thick as an arm.

For me?

Ye Chen was puzzled but he took the papers and started flipping through.

At this moment he understood why a nascent soul cultivator was so tired.
