Chapter 1: One Night of Spring Night
1408 Words
Qingzhou City, Tianchen International Hotel.
"Scoundrel, you've robbed me of my innocence!"
On the expansive Simmons bed, a woman of breathtaking beauty clutches the quilt to her chest, tears streaming down her face like rain on pear blossoms.
"You're mistaken, it was you who initiated things, beauty. Why are you blaming me?"
Ye Chen shook his head, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
Last night at the bar, he had indulged a bit too much.
And in a twist of fate, he found himself entangled with this beauty, as if under a spell.
"Alas, I've only been off the mountain for a few days, and the purity I've guarded for twenty long years is gone, what a loss!"
Ye Chen muttered gloomily.
"What? You're the one at a loss? Is that even a reasonable thing to say?"
Lin Junyao's eyes blazed with indignation, nearly exploding with rage.
She truly regretted going to the bar to drown her sorrows last night.
But after a morning of tears, Lin Junyao had reluctantly come to terms with the reality.
As the CEO of the Lin Group, Lin Junyao was not a woman to be swayed without reason.
The deed was done, and there was no turning back.
What mattered now was how to manage the situation moving forward.
"Just pretend this never happened, and don't mention it to anyone!" Lin Junyao's cold gaze pierced Ye Chen as she spoke: "Can you do that?"
"I can!" Ye Chen scratched his head, hesitating: "But..."
"There are no 'buts'!" Lin Junyao tossed Ye Chen's clothes off the bed: "Get dressed and leave."
Ye Chen...
Could she be so heartless?
Ye Chen wanted to leave as well, but he found himself in a predicament, penniless and unable to move.
He had trained on Wuxing Mountain for over a decade, honing extraordinary skills, yet his pockets were embarrassingly empty.
As his master would say, a cultivator should regard money as dung.
And every time he conducted a ceremony for others, the offerings were collected by his miserly master.
This time, descending the mountain, his master had only given him travel expenses and an extra 250 pieces for spending.
Last night at the bar, he had spent his last penny!
"Beauty, I'm in a tight spot. Could you lend me some money?" Ye Chen asked.
"Are you now resorting to extortion?"
Lin Junyao knew that whenever this man spoke, it was never good.
Ye Chen frowned: "If you're going to talk like that, I won't borrow anymore. We had a fleeting connection, and before I leave, I'll give you a kind reminder. There's a dark cloud over your forehead, a sign of impending danger. You'll face a disaster soon!"
"Bastard, that's nonsense!" Lin Junyao retorted.
Ye Chen...
Madam, shouldn't your focus be on the impending disaster?
"This sign is not a joke. As a heavenly master, I don't deceive you!" Ye Chen said with a faint smile.
"Heavenly Master?" Lin Junyao was taken aback.
She acknowledged that there were many mysterious forces in this world, but this despicable man, young and debauched, how could he be a heavenly master?
Have you ever seen a heavenly master end up in bed after drinking with someone?
As Lin Junyao hesitated, Ye Chen spoke indifferently:
"Lately, you've been plagued with misfortune, both in your career and love life. Is that correct?"
Lin Junyao was inwardly surprised.
She had to admit, he was spot on!
Recently, the Lin Group's stocks had plummeted, and as the CEO, Lin Junyao felt the pressure.
Moreover, she had been pressured into marriage by her family, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.
To alleviate some stress, she had gone to the bar to get drunk last night.
"Beauty, I have a method that can quickly change your luck and avert the disaster!" Ye Chen said.
"What method?"
Lin Junyao's red lips parted, slightly moved.
Ye Chen's lips curled into a slight smile as he took out a small red pouch from his pocket.
"It's this! Keep it with you, and it will surely avert the disaster when the time comes, but..."
As he spoke, Ye Chen rubbed his fingers together, smiling at Lin Junyao.
The implication was clear.
This item didn't come for free; it cost money!
"Really? Don't lie to me!" Lin Junyao's eyes were cold as she stared at Ye Chen.
"Believe it or not, fortune and misfortune come from one's own actions!" Ye Chen's face was enigmatic.
Lin Junyao bit her teeth, pondering for a moment.
Sometimes, believing in something isn't a bad thing; even a psychological boost is worth it!
After all, for her, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
She took out a stack of red bills as thick as a book from her wallet.
"Here, this is all I have, take it!"
"You don't need that much!"
Ye Chen only took two from the stack.
"You're not greedy after all!" Lin Junyao's eyes flashed with surprise.
Ye Chen handed the small pouch to Lin Junyao: "What's inside likes the shade and can't be exposed to light. You have to look at it in the bathroom!"
"Alright!"
Seeing Lin Junyao close the bathroom door, Ye Chen quickly packed up his things.
"Beauty, I'm sorry, you forced me to use this trick. Today's 200 bucks is a loan, and I, the heavenly master, will definitely repay you generously in the future! Definitely, definitely!"
Then, he dashed out of the hotel suite.
Meanwhile, in the hotel bathroom.
Lin Junyao opened the small pouch, and immediately, she was furious!
Indeed, what was inside the pouch was not anything else but a small sanitary pad.
At a critical moment, this thing could indeed resolve a woman's disaster!
Lin Junyao threw the pad forcefully on the floor, stamping her feet in anger.
"Bastard! You bastard——"
After leaving the hotel, Ye Chen found a breakfast stall and ordered a bowl of beef noodles.
The noodle soup was oily and fragrant.
Ye Chen, who was already starving, picked up the bowl and began to savor it.
It had been almost a week since he came down from the mountain.
He thought he had found the woman he had been thinking about for more than ten years last night.
Turns out it was a fake!
And he lost his purity in the process.
Alas!
Although Lin Junyao had a perfect figure and a face that could bring a country to its knees.
She was not the woman in his heart after all!
Where is my goddess?
Ye Chen took out a crumpled piece of candy paper from his pocket and looked at it affectionately, his thoughts drifting back thirteen years ago.
That year, he was seven years old.
The Ye family was framed by enemies, some died, some fled, it was very tragic.
Ye Chen's parents also disappeared in that incident, vanishing into thin air.
Ye Chen, like a homeless dog, was chased by enemies and hid in a girl's bathroom.
The girl saw he was injured and chose to help him hide, deceiving those who were after him.
The girl also gave him a piece of candy and gently said to him:
"Don't be afraid, eat it, after eating the sweet candy, your wound won't hurt!"
Ye Chen will never forget that beautiful little girl.
He can't forget the wonderful body under the water.
He can't forget the pure eyes.
He can't forget the kind face.
With the girl's help, Ye Chen narrowly escaped with his life.
Later, he was chosen by his master and taken to Wuxing Mountain for cultivation.
Today's Ye Chen, with the Taoist name Qingfeng.
He is gifted and practices quickly. He is the first person in hundreds of years on Wuxing Mountain to inherit the name 'Tianshi' before the crowning age!
