Yu QingTang shook his head rapidly. MiaoYin Xian was even more astonished: “It’s not his?”
Yu QingTang shook his head even faster. Before he whisked and scrambled his brains with the shaking, Ye ChenYan grabbed his hand and said with a look of certainty: “It’s mine.”
Yu QingTang’s head froze. For a second, he forgot about Long AoTian’s might and intimidation and elbowed him subconsciously: “What are you saying!”
“I’m not pregnant!” Eyes wide, he clarified to MiaoYin Xian: “I was only stalling for time just now!”
For some reason, he felt his ears burn and pointed at Ye ChenYan: “What nonsense are you sprouting!”
Ye ChenYan covered his chest with a hand, looking even somewhat aggrieved: “I was thinking, you must have some reason to say that, so I wanted to follow along with your words.”
Yu QingTang: “…….”
Suddenly, he felt somewhat guilty.
MiaoYin Xiao couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile: “Oh you two.”
Ye ChenYan leaned back into the tree trunk behind him, hand covering his chest: “Ai, despite everything, that evil cultivator was still a middle-stage Golden Core, with such strange techniques as well. Even now, my spiritual energy feels tumultuous within my bloodstream, not too comfortable……”
He shot a glance at Yu QingTang: “Yet you still hit me.”
Yu QingTang: “……”
Slander, this was pure, undisguised slander.
Just now, that evil cultivator’s sinister black fog couldn’t even break through this guy’s skin, how could such a light elbow from him count as an attack!
Nevertheless, he felt guilty at the moment, so he cleared his throat. Eyes shifting left and right, he extended a hand out of politeness: “Then I’ll help you rub it?”
Not even evading, Ye ChenYan waited for his touch.
Seeing Yu QingTang’s hand about to touch his collar, Ye ChenYan raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of anticipation on his face.
And then he watched Yu QingTang pat the air in front of his chest perfunctorily: “It’s alright, it’s alright.”
Then withdraw his hand.
Ye ChenYan: “…….”
His expression looked somewhat disappointed: “Just that?”
Yu QingTang’s eyes opened wide: “What else do you want?”
“Ahem.” With a subtle smile, MiaoYin Xian said: “Okay, even though this evil cultivator has been operating alone all these days, it’s hard to guarantee he doesn’t have accomplices. It’s not advisable to stay here too long. Once everyone’s spirit energy recovers slightly, we should leave immediately.”
The female cultivators who escaped have already begun a race against time to cultivate and recover their spiritual energy. Yu QingTang was just about to sit down cross-legged just like them when Ye ChenYan handed him a bottle of pills.
“Spirit Rejuvenation Pill,” He smiled, “I told you already, I have the pills prepared and will take good care of you.”
Yu QingTang blinked a few times and looked at the round cultivation pill in his palm.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Speaking honestly, he has yet to take any pills since transmigrating here.

“Thank you.” Yu QingTang expressed thanks obediently and placed the Spirit Rejuvenation Pill inside his mouth with some degree of curiosity. Immediately afterwards, his entire face wrinkled up like a plum.
It was very hard to describe the taste, but if he had to say something, it’s like two pounds of lemonade mixed with grass.
“Cough.” Ye ChenYan couldn’t help, but let out a laugh. He immediately restrained himself and pretended it didn’t happen, suppressing his laughter so much his cheeks flushed red.
Yu QingTang opened his mouth and closed it. An overwhelming sour taste rushed straight to his head, blurring his vision with involuntary tears and rendering him incapable of doing anything else but let out an exclaim of ‘so sour’.
Saying this, two drops of tears rolled down uncontrollably.
Ye ChenYan’s smile stiffened on his face. As if in a panic, he said: “You, you’re really crying?”
He wiped his hands clean distressingly and used his sleeve to wipe Yu QingTang’s tears for him: “My, my Shishu always refines sour Spirit Rejuvenation Pills. He does it on purpose!”
“He even said that if it tasted good, we won’t even know to reserve our spirit energy; it’s easy for us to be careless. Supposedly the pills created by Alchemy Masters are also a variety of unsavory tastes. Don’t, don’t cry anymore……”
Gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them, MiaoYin Xian covered her mouth and smiled softly: “QingTang-meimei is still such a child, requiring coaxing when taking pills.”
She gently pulled over Yu QingTang’s hand: “However, what he said is correct. The rejuvenation pills from cultivation sects must all be created to taste terrible. Only those idle unaffiliated Alchemy Masters not part of the sects would purposely make them like candy to sell medicine.”
Ye ChenYan calmly squeezed her hand away, bent down, and moved closer to Yu QingTang to coax him: “I’ll buy ones that are like candy for you in the next town, okay?”
Yu QingTang turned his wooden face to the side: “……”
Very humiliating, to actually shed tears over the sourness of a cultivation pill.
He cleared his throat and attempted to clarify: “I wasn’t crying. My tears just dropped, not that I wanted to cry! So it can’t count as crying, just shedding tears.”
Ye ChenYan raised an eyebrow. He looked as if he wanted to laugh, but held it back in the end: “En, that’s right.”
Yu QingTang elbowed him gently again. Ye ChenYan looked at him in bewilderment, big eyes meeting small eyes, a foolish expression like he didn’t receive any signals at all.
Disappointed and impatient, Yu QingTang sighed, moved closer, and suppressed his voice to whisper: “You should give her one also.”
He held out a finger stealthily and pointed at MiaoYin Xian.
With an inexplicable expression, Ye ChenYan looked back and forth between him and MiaoYin Xiao, then raised an eyebrow: “Why?”
Eyes widening in shock, Yu QingTang tilted his head and looked at him incredulously.
He opened his mouth and then closed it. It’s not like he could say, this is one of your future wives. As such, he did his best to come up with a justifiable reason: “If her spirit energy recovers, she can help if we encounter trouble.”
“That makes sense.” Ye ChenYan grimaced and threw the entire bottle of Spirit Rejuvenation Pill at him, then pointed at the female cultivators behind him: “Then you take it and share it with everyone.”
Yu QingTang with a complicated expression: “……”
This guy’s not even willing to do that!
Yu QingTang turned around and distributed them out, practically wishing to pick Ye ChenYan up and shake the water in his head— Your wife is almost gone, brat, do you know that?!
After he finished passing out the medicine, he stared scorchingly at the other female cultivators. Watching them swallow the pills one after another calmly with ease, without any change in their expressions at all, Yu QingTang couldn’t help but squeeze his eyes shut.
Especially MiaoYin Xian, she ate as if it weren’t a prankster level sour pill. Her every move and action compelled people to feel that pill probably had the same elegant and refreshing taste as a snow lotus from the icy mountains.
Yu QingTang said gloomily: “Am I really the only one who eats pills like that?”
For a second just now, he even suspected that Ye ChenYan was messing with him deliberately. Now it seemed like he might have misunderstood.
Ye ChenYan looked as if he was recalling Yu QingTang’s expression back then. The corners of his lips curved upwards uncontrollably.
Yu QingTang glanced over swiftly: “You’re laughing at me!”
Ye ChenYan denied flatly: “I’m not!”
He cleared his throat and leaned closer to say: “However, I can teach you. Next time you eat pills, you can swallow it directly, don’t let it melt on the tip of your tongue.”
Yu QingTang subconsciously bit the tip of his tongue. Even right now, it was sour on his tongue, as if the flavor had seeped deep within.
Noticing his small movement, Ye ChenYan smiled even more brilliantly and suggested: “If you take some more and get more practice, it’ll be fine.”
Yu QingTang was just about to shake his head when he suddenly sniffed: “What’s that smell?”
Ye ChenYan also frowned and noticed that something was off: “The smell of sulfur, and the temperature is also rising.”
MiaoYin Xian had a vigilant expression: “A person that studies fire-based cultivation techniques is swiftly closing in right now. The fire-based spirit energy is pouring outwards. If their physical constitution is not special, then it’s their technique that’s special. Within the Jin Province territory……”
Eyes flashing faintly, she seemed to have pinpointed a candidate: “Could it be him?”
Startled slightly, Yu QingTang shot a furtive glance at the fan pendant dangling on Ye ChenYan’s waist— It was Wu TianLong, who found his way here following this thing!
But the timing wasn’t quite right. It was too short. MiaoYin Xian had just taken the Spirit Rejuvenation Pill. Ye ChenYan had also experienced a battle a second ago……
In the story, this Wu TianLong appeared to be middle-stage Golden Core, but had been hiding his true strength for a long time, secretly advancing to the perfection-stage of Golden Core, just waiting to head off to the Golden Core Competition in the Qing Province and shock the world. He could be considered to be a fairly powerful mini-boss in the early parts of the story plot.
It shouldn’t be anything of concern, right….?
Yu QingTang shot Ye ChenYan a worried glance.
Looking also as if he had a premonition of things to come, Ye ChenYan picked up his silver battle spear and blocked in front of everyone, saying in a raised voice: “Who comes!”
The group of them, about a dozen cultivators, stood on a humongous palm-leaf fan as they looked condescendingly down here. One of them held a compass in his hand.
MiaoYin Xian frowned slightly and subconsciously took a step back. She swiftly put on a face veil, as if she didn’t want to be seen.
Yu QingTang took a step forward correspondingly and covered her. His figure was taller than normal female cultivators. Even though he couldn’t cover her up completely, he could still cover up most of her.
Startled, MiaoYin Xian said quietly: “Many thanks.”
Yet the other party didn’t seem to have come searching for MiaoYin Xian.
Yu QingTang sensed a gaze falling on himself. After examining him up and down, the person scoffed condescendingly: “It’s her?”
“That’s right.” A somewhat familiar voice traveled down from the palm-leaf fan, carrying some degrees of delight: “It’s her! Big brother, I want her!”
Yu QingTang raised his head in surprise to finally discover that Wu TianJiao was hiding within the group of cultivators.
It wasn’t his fault that he couldn’t recognize the other at first sight either. Right now, the corners of this guy’s eyes were bruised black, and one side of his face was extremely swollen. He looked even more dreadful than when Ye ChenYan let him go.
Yu QingTang’s eyes widened: “Are you guys purposely trying to fake an incident here! We definitely didn’t beat him to such a state!”
“Of course I know.” Wu TianJiao snorted disdainfully, not ashamed at all: “This is the result of a beating from my big brother.”
He actually felt somewhat proud: “But since I have already endured the beating, little beauty, you can’t escape now!”
Stunned briefly, Yu QingTang said with a complicated expression: “……Don’t tell me, you’ve also fallen in love with me at first sight?”
Wu TianJiao’s face suddenly flushed red: “What…what nonsense are you saying, what love at first sight? I’m just lusting after beauty and want to defile you!”
Yu QingTang scratched his chin with a finger: “Who says that about themself.”
“Trash.” Wu TianLong looked a lot more normal than his little brother. With a robust body covered in muscles and a cold expression, he attempted to drag the atmosphere back on track: “Can’t even seize a female Golden Core cultivator.”
“You. Consider it an honor for you to be selected by the Wu Family of the Jin Province. From today onwards, you’re my little brother’s maid.”
He held out a finger arrogantly and tapped downwards with fire and light.
Yu QingTang only saw a vague word on the tip of his finger before feeling a pressure like being crushed under the legendary Mount Tai.
With a clang, the silver battle spear moved. With all of his strength, Ye ChenYan struck and repelled the finger falling from the sky. However, his opponent’s palm only shook slightly.
MiaoYin Xian moved Yu QingTang behind her and flipped her hand to reveal a silvery-white zither. No longer concerned with concealing her identity, she flew upwards: “GongZi, be careful, his cultivation is deep and profound, and the crowd behind him has set up a Fire Pool Array. Right now, he’s in the eye of the array, collecting everyone’s strength, perhaps even strong enough to fight a Nascent Soul.”
“You can’t battle recklessly. I will suppress that array for you.”
Yu QingTang raised his head trepidatiously and let out a breath of relief.
Even though the enemy arrived at a poor time, and came for a very strange reason, at least these two people have started to fight side by side.
Next, he only needed to give the zither away……
Yu QingTang had just taken out the Dragon Heron Zither, and the two sides up above just finished exchanging a round, when MiaoYin Xiao came flying backwards, narrowly caught by the other female cultivators.
Yu QingTang was stunned.
Why are you the one sent flying, XianZi!
