Chapter 1478 - 1455: This Woman Is Not Simple
Ye Huan indeed had no interest in enjoying these worldly pleasures, feeling somewhat speechless, "I say, Mengmeng and Meijiao, you don’t have to keep following me, right?"
"Ye Shao, I want to join you at the hot spring in the back mountain." Ling Mengmeng’s water-like eyes stared directly at Ye Huan, her anticipation in her gaze completely unhidden.
Ling Meijiao was much bolder, throwing a flirtatious glance and a flying kiss to Ye Huan, "Ye Shao, I also want to go to the hot spring in the back mountain, but before that, we still need Bingning’s consent~"
"Don’t bring her along!" Ye Bingning, embodying a drama queen, continued acting from last night’s play, casting a "warning" look at Ye Huan.
Ye Huan understood and continued acting with Ye Bingning, suddenly showing a flash of displeasure and hostility in his eyes, without speaking but still pulling Ye Bingning away.
Both their acting skills were top-notch, if they were to participate in an Oscar performance evaluation, they would surely easily win the championship trophy!
Such excellent acting naturally fooled Ling Meijiao.
Ye Huan’s reaction to Ye Bingning’s words was observed by Meijiao, making her laugh hysterically inside.
Under her provocation, Ye Huan was obviously more displeased with Ye Bingning!
Ye Bingning, this woman, is also a fool; capable men want many wives, doesn’t she know this logic?
Attempting to tie Ye Huan down, Ye Bingning is destined for failure!
Ling Meijiao felt smugly confident, convinced that she could easily defeat Ye Bingning in a short time, truly snatch Ye Huan away, and make him her nourishment!
"Ye Huan, just wait, I’ll drive you crazy with my allure!" Ling Meijiao thought triumphantly, making a special effort today to dress even more seductively and boldly.
Her upper body was clad only in a white tight-fitting crop top, exposing much of her fair skin to the air, her fragrant shoulders and swan-like neck shamelessly displayed to everyone. Her lower body wore ultra-short denim shorts, with two extremely sexy, long legs on full display, wrapped in highly alluring, ultra-thin black crystal-garter stockings, with a pair of ten-centimeter-high Milan high heels on her feet.
Purple shoulder-length hair further highlighted her sexy, spicy girl vibe.
Many men watched her with mouths agape, unable to resist a flutter in their hearts.
They envied Ye Huan even more, hearing what he had said earlier and seeing his reaction, they knew the goddess so elusive to them seemed to matter little to Ye Huan!
Damn!
Why did Grandma Nuwa create such great disparity when she molded humans?
The Ling family members envied and jealously hated Ye Huan even more.
At this moment, a voice rang out.
"Everyone, follow me to the back mountain!"
Hall Master Wang Feng flew over coldly, speaking briefly before heading to the back mountain first!
The Ling family disciples followed in unison; Ye Huan and Ye Bingning also followed behind.
In the morning, Ye Huan specifically asked Ling Lufu if he could bring Ye Bingning to the hot spring in the back mountain.
The answer was: Yes!
Ye Bingning was his woman, and the back mountain hot spring was exclusively opened for him, so naturally, his woman could accompany him.
Additionally, Ye Huan learned many details about the back mountain hot spring from Ling Lufu.
The hot spring in the back mountain is the Ling family’s core forbidden area, where a statue of ancestral terrifying pressure stands, its pressure sensitive, observing the bloodline purity and martial talent of every Ling family disciple entering the hot spring.
Those with great potential, excellent talent, or with their bloodline unawakened have a chance to be acknowledged by the ancestral statue, awakening their bloodline in the hot spring, receiving endless benefits.
However, obtaining benefits requires a price!
The price is: one must endure enough pressure impact in the back mountain hot spring!
The longer one endures, the more likely they are to be acknowledged and benefit, but this causes extreme mental and physical pain while in the hot spring.
Furthermore, some fail to endure properly, directly crushed into dust by the pressure!
Such incidents have happened many times in Ling family history!
An hour later, under Wang Feng’s lead, the group ascended five thousand meters to finally reach the Ling family’s ancestral hot spring situated halfway up the back mountain.
It’s hard to imagine that such a towering majestic mountain peak could have a very level area halfway up. As far as the eye can see, it resembles a plain as large as two football fields.
However, most of this plain is sunken down.
Thus, it has formed a lake-like hot spring here.
The hot spring environment is very good, even from dozens of meters away, you can smell a faint, elegant fragrance emanating from the spring water, with white mist swirling above, ethereal and enchanting, giving a hazy aesthetic.
In the center of the "lake" stands a massive Ling family ancestral statue, like a stabilizing needle for the spring, over twenty meters tall.
This statue is very imposing; an old but robust elder strokes his beard with one hand, holding a sword with the right hand, a lone seeks no rivals, the pressure significant, seeming to suppress everything in existence!
All Ling family disciples gazed at the statue, eyes suddenly glowing with intense reverence and respect!
Even Wang Feng, an outsider to the Ling family, looked at the statue with shining eyes, very reverent.
Three people were exceptions.
Ye Huan, Ye Bingning, and... Ling Meijiao!
"Quick to react." Ye Huan glimpsed a respectful glance at the statue from Ling Meijiao, sneering internally.
Earlier, he clearly saw Ling Meijiao’s initial expression was very indifferent, and upon seeing the statue, she only revealed a hint of ridicule and playfulness without any reaction.
Let alone reverence and respect, she stood out compared to other Ling family disciples.
But Ling Meijiao quickly reacted at the critical moment, deliberately feigning her respect and reverence.
"This woman is not simple." Ye Huan’s eyes slightly squinted, thinking to himself.
At this moment, beside him, Ling Mengmeng spoke with admiration and reverence: "Ye Shao, this is our Ling family founder, who reached the initial tier Martial Saint level of strength ten thousand years ago—the supreme warrior Ling Shen! The other day, his pressure left me an unexpected gift, allowing my B-level bloodline to awaken successfully into an A-level bloodline!"
Ye Huan returned from his thoughts, nodding slightly.
Ling Shen, this name is quite imposing.
Very fitting of the Ling family ancestral divine being identity.
"Ye Shao, don’t you naturally feel reverence and a desire to worship upon seeing this statue?" Ling Mengmeng’s hands clasped together, placed at her chest, looking at the statue devoutly.
The reason for asking Ye Huan this question was that she hadn’t noticed any reverence for the Ling family ancestor from Ye Huan or Ye Bingning.
Ye Bingning could be explained away since she’s not a Ling family member.
Like Wang Feng, who developed reverence for the ancestor after learning about their deeds, it’s not natural reverence.
Ye Huan was somewhat puzzling; theoretically, anyone with the Ling family bloodline should naturally have the urge to worship the family ancestor.
"Uh... not really." Ye Huan scratched his head, understanding the meaning behind Ling Mengmeng’s words, then his eyes squinted slightly.
If the Ling family naturally reveres the ancestor statue, why doesn’t this woman, Ling Meijiao?
In an instant, he felt more strongly that this woman was not simple at all.
