Chapter 1491 - 1468: A Slap for You!
Upon hearing the mocking voices of Ling Yao and others, Ye Bingning raised her delicate eyebrows. What are these two guys always targeting Ye Huan for? Haven’t they learned enough from their previous lesson, or are they just tired of living?
Ye Bingning was truly infuriated by these two guys, her face turning livid with rage. Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan’s minds were just too petty. Initially, they themselves targeted Ye Huan, trying to take advantage of him, but ended up being humiliated.
They completely brought this upon themselves, yet now, in Ye Huan’s hour of difficulty, they choose to mock him. Such disgraceful character!
At this moment, Ling Mengmeng walked into the Sword Tomb, approached Ye Huan, and smiled slightly: "Ye Huan, my offer still stands. If you wish, I can become your Dao partner, and we can marry tonight. If you want, I might even give you a son in ten months. But, when you grow stronger and gain benefits, you must share them with me and help me grow as well."
"As long as you agree to my conditions, I’ll be your wife."
"Once I become your wife, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword in my hand can naturally be lent to you for use."
"The Dragon Abyss Sword may not compare to the Chi Xiao or Cheng Ying, but it is still an extremely rare Celestial God Level weapon, both in power and in manufacturing strength. It’s quite exceptional."
Ling Mengmeng raised the sword, adorned with a tightly bound black dragon in iron chains and entirely jet-black, and gently stroked the sheath: "Lending it to you makes me feel a bit reluctant, but as long as you take me as your Dao partner, I can reluctantly let you use it."
Saying this, she looked at Ye Huan with a gaze of pitiful charity, with a faintly mocking and proud smile at the corner of her lips.
Ye Huan’s expression remained unchanged as he raised his palm.
"Smack—"
A loud slap landed directly on Ling Mengmeng’s face!
Ling Mengmeng’s head was tilted to the right, a burning handprint appearing on her face. She was completely dumbfounded, never expecting Ye Huan would dare to hit her.
"I told you, I have no interest in you whatsoever. If you want to act indecent, do it elsewhere, not here, annoying me anymore. Understand? Without giving you a slap, you really wouldn’t stop bothering me," Ye Huan muttered irately, continuing further into the Sword Tomb.
Ye Huan knew well enough that hitting a woman wasn’t good, and that slapping Ling Mengmeng might seem a bit agitated, but only he knew he wasn’t acting out of agitation or provocation.
It was simply because Ling Mengmeng was incredibly annoying. Since yesterday, she hadn’t stopped pestering and showing her ugly face, which made him extremely disgusted.
Her voice was sweet and charming, but after seeing her true colors, whenever Ye Huan heard her voice, he felt nauseous and bothered, yet she kept blabbering non-stop.
With his temperament in the Western Dark World, anyone annoying him like this would have been sent to hell to report to King Yama long ago.
That Ye Huan managed to hold off giving Ling Mengmeng a slap until now was something unbelievably remarkable.
Even a Ninja would find it hard to endure!
"Ye Huan, I’ll remember this slap! You’ll regret it, I tell you!" Ling Mengmeng snapped back, feeling the burning pain on her cheek, losing herself entirely in an agitated state, stomping her feet and cursing Ye Huan furiously, "I was graciously offering myself to you. Even if you reject me for your ridiculous male pride, how dare you hit me? Don’t you know I’ve been acknowledged by a Celestial God Level weapon, my future endlessly bright? You’ll regret it, the Divine Guard Level weapons don’t even acknowledge you, Ye Huan. You’re just a massive waste of space, you’re done for!"
After ranting like a shrew, Ling Mengmeng left the Sword Tomb with misty eyes, looking all pitiful. Anyone unaware would think she suffered unjustly!
Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan, unable to bear it, comforted her, "Mengmeng cousin, don’t be mad, Ye Huan’s just a giant waste who’s enraged, he’s not even human, don’t stoop to his level!"
"Exactly, with someone as narrow-minded as Ye Huan, there’s no way he can achieve anything in the future! Our path of advancement as Ancient Martial Artists requires not only outstanding innate talent and high-purity bloodline but also the character and mentality of a strong individual!"
"Without the mentality of a strong person, one can never become great! Look at Ye Huan now, isn’t he still unable to gain any weapon’s acknowledgment, continually scorned by them? I think it’s not that his talent falls short of being acknowledged by weapons, but his mentality and character aren’t recognized!"
"This Ye Huan is just an arrogant, overbearing, petty superfluous waste, enraged after being humiliated. Even with his pure Yanhuang bloodline, his future achievements will still be limited!"
"Yeah, Mengmeng cousin, there’s no need to be upset because of Ye Huan. His future is nothing impressive anyway, while you, being a peerless genius acknowledged by a Celestial God Level weapon, are already on a different path from him. You needn’t care about Ye Huan’s actions!"
"Because in the face of your extraordinary talent, Ye Huan is nothing, at best a mere clown trying to stand out, and before you, he amounts to a mere jumping clown, utterly useless!"
Previously, they hadn’t received any benefits in the hot spring, and stood by Ling Mengmeng’s side. Those Ling family members now seized the chance to curry favor with Ling Mengmeng, furiously berating Ye Huan non-stop, portraying him as history’s biggest villain and a super waste, trying to win Ling Mengmeng’s favor.
Of course, the more crucial aspect was securing Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan’s favor.
Receiving acknowledgment from Divine King Level weapons, Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan’s infinite potential and future achievements would surely surpass Ye Huan, who couldn’t gain any weapon’s acknowledgment, and they held a grudge against him.
This wave of furious insults was meant to curry favor in their eyes, so when they surpassed Ye Huan in the future, they would gain infinite benefits!
This portion of the Ling family disciples, while harshly criticizing Ye Huan, thought themselves quite clever, feeling delighted inside.
Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan, hearing these troubles directed at Ye Huan, also felt delighted, elated. They used to enjoy such treatment in the Ling family, as anyone opposing them would face ridicule and insults from those trying to curry favor!
A whole gang of sycophants was defending them!
But yesterday and this morning, after losing to Ye Huan, they lost the right to enjoy such treatment entirely!
Now, they could enjoy this exquisite treatment once more!
"Ye Huan, oh Ye Huan, you surely didn’t expect us to rise again and become even mightier, did you? Haha!" Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan gazed at the swords in their hands, feeling so elated they could soar!
Hearing everyone ganging up on Ye Huan, Ling Mengmeng exhaled a murky breath, gently caressing her aching cheek, with eyes of resentment towards Ye Huan: "Ye Huan, you’ll regret losing me. I’m so beautiful, so talented!"
Then, they reveled in schadenfreude once again!
Because in the Sword Tomb, Ye Huan still couldn’t gain any sword’s acknowledgment!
Just like before, no matter which sword he tried to touch, it was as if the swords "disliked" Ye Huan, swiftly veering away!
