Ultimate Devouring System novel - chapter 18

chapter 18 Back to town

After Chen Feng died, Ye Xuan also slowly turned his head around. Looking at the stunned Xue Qingqing, he asked: “How many rounds did I exchange blows with him?”

Hearing this question, Xue Qingqing finally reacted and shook her head in astonishment, “No, I didn’t count!”

She had already been intimidated by Ye Xuan’s strength. After all, from her memories, Ye Xuan’s level should be even lower than his.

However, it seemed as if Chen Feng, who was in the early fifth stage of the Martial Dao, was killed by Ye Xuan in less than ten rounds.

Ye Xuan did not ask anymore, and only walked over to Chen Feng and squatted down, then took out a few bottles of Dan, put away his long sword, and walked back in.

“You, you really are Ye Xuan?” Xue Qingqing asked in disbelief.

“Nonsense, when you were young, you even said that you wanted to marry me, did you forget?” Ye Xuan rolled his eyes.

Hearing that, Xue Qingqing’s face turned red, and pouted: “What nonsense are you spouting, I was speaking nonsense when I was young.”

Now, she was sure that this was indeed the Ye Xuan that she knew.

“Then why are you asking?” Ye Xuan said helplessly.

“But I heard that you just broke through to the early fourth stage of the Martial Dao last month.” Xue Qingqing was still a little surprised.

“Don’t ask, I’m stronger than you anyway.” As Ye Xuan said that, his gaze suddenly fell on Xue Qingqing, and he chuckled: “Even though we know each other, I did save you, shouldn’t you reward me a little?”

“What do you want?” Xue Qingqing suddenly felt a malicious gaze. Even though she and Ye Xuan knew each other, she couldn’t help but take a step back.

“I’m not doing anything, there’s a gift of thanks for helping. Come, give me half of the 500 years old blood.” Ye Xuan was not unreasonable and spoke directly.

Only now did Xue Qingqing realize that she had misunderstood her. Letting out a breath, she opened Chen Feng’s bag and threw a small cloth over.

“If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to escape his pursuit. I’ll give you this 500 years old blood ginseng.” Xue Qingqing said very generously.

Ye Xuan took the cloth and opened the bag. There was a red ginseng inside.

The age of the Blood Ginseng was determined by its color. The color of this Blood Ginseng was very dense. It was indeed more than 500 years old.

“Are you sure you want to give me all of it?” Ye Xuan asked in surprise. This 500 year old Blood Ginseng was worth millions of silver, this was enough to buy a fifth grade Martial Arts.

“Have you forgotten what my father does? It’s only 1,000,000 silver, I’m not interested in it. ” Xue Qingqing suddenly asked.

After hearing her reminder, Ye Xuan also reacted.

Xue Qingqing’s father, Xue Hai, was a famous businessman. He probably owned more businesses than the Ye Family and had started her own business from scratch. There was an intrinsic difference between the Xue Qingqing and his family.

A mere 1,000,000 silver was indeed nothing to him.

It was no wonder that Xue Qingqing, who was only fourteen years old, was already in the middle of the fourth stage of the Martial Dao.

“Haha, then I’ll accept it.” Ye Xuan did not argue and immediately kept it.

As long as he could swallow this 500 year old blood ginseng, perhaps he would be able to break through to the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.

But then again, it was a little unusual for the precious daughter of the Xue Clan to suddenly come to the eighteen mountain ranges of Lianyun.

Immediately, Ye Xuan asked: “Oh right, why did you come here?”

“Me!”

Xue Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then said: “I wanted to go to the Cloud Breaking Sect, but my father refused, so I ran out. After that, I chased a Whirlwind Wolf with a pendant around its neck all the way to the Lianyun Eighteen Mountain Range. “

“A Whirlwind Wolf with a pendant around its neck?” Ye Xuan did not manage to react to what the .... was happening.

“Yeah, it seems like someone hung it up. Do you know what that pendant is?” Xue Qingqing asked again.

“What is it?” Ye Xuan asked in surprise. At the same time, he thought, could it be a diamond?

However, diamonds didn’t seem to be worth much in this world.

“It’s a crystal, worth 1,000,000 silver!” Xue Qingqing replied.

“Crystals?”

Hearing this name, Ye Xuan immediately cried out.

Crystal stones were used as currency between high grade Warrior s. It was said that there was a low-grade crystal worth a million silver taels in Ye Family.

“Yes, crystal. At that time, I was thinking who had the money to hang the crystal around the neck of the Demon Beast, so I chased in, but I lost it.” Xue Qingqing said helplessly.

Even if it was just a low-grade crystal, it would be worth at least a million silver, which was equivalent to Ye Xuan’s 500 years old blood ginseng.

“You’re thinking too much. It must be fake. How could a crystal be hanging around the neck of a Level Four Demon Beast, Whirlwind Wolves?” Ye Xuan did not think too much and continued: “Then you’ve already run away from home?”

“Yeah, I don’t have anywhere to go right now, so why don’t I go over to your place?” Xue Qingqing nodded.

“Yes, yes, but I also ran away from home.” Ye Xuan said. Since he still had a few empty rooms in the house that he had just bought, he did not mind adding Xue Qingqing along. He would be able to go to Cloud Breaking Sect with him in a year.

“Why did you run away from home?” Xue Qingqing was surprised.

“Let’s talk on the way.”

Originally, when Ye Xuan came in, he was alone, so it was more convenient. After killing the Demon Beast, he directly swallowed them. However, with Xue Qingqing alone, it would be more troublesome. After all, the Devouring System s could not be known to Xue Qingqing.

However, Xue Qingqing was generous, she directly threw Chen Feng’s bag to him, there were still many good things inside.

Ye Xuan reckoned that he was now strong enough to break through the peak of the fifth stage of Martial Dao.

In less than two days, they had left the Eighteen Lian Yun Mountain Range, and then bought two good horses from the nearest small town to rush back to Lianyun City.

“Liu’er, I’m back.”

Ye Xuan opened the door to his courtyard and shouted out. However, there was no response.

After that, he quickly searched through the mansion, but Liu’er was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Xuan’s expression sank to the bottom because Liu’er was very obedient. At that time, the things he bought were enough for Liu’er to live for half a month. However, it had only been a week, before Liu’er disappeared.

Furthermore, Ye Xuan had found some footprints in the courtyard that did not belong to him, nor to Liu’er, much less the old man who sold them to him.

These footprints were very heavy, it was obvious that they were from the young adults, and all of them were from Warrior.

Just when Ye Xuan was thinking that the person who kidnapped Liu’er could be the Chen Family, he suddenly found a piece of paper in Liu’er’s room.

So it turned out that Liu’er was not captured by the Chen Family, but instead returned to the Ye Family.
