Chapter 119 - 118 [The Curse from the Little Sister]

Chapter 119: Chapter 118 [The Curse from the Little Sister]The apocalypse was a world where Superpower Users roamed supreme, Ancient Martial Sects masters were unstoppable, powerful Mutants and Demon Beasts existed — an absolutely bloody era where anything you couldn’t imagine was the only impossibility. Ye Tianchen, once a Divine-level Superpower Expert, wasn’t the strongest in the apocalypse but was still capable of defending himself. Back then, he also protected the safety of the Human Clan because, at that time, there were malevolent Superpower Users, deranged Ancient Martial Sects masters, as well as man-eating Mutants and Demon Beasts. The Human Clan was weak; it was no longer a world dominated by humans. Too many powerful beings emerged, some of whom could move mountains and overturn seas, while others could shatter the heavens and split the earth — this description is by no means an exaggeration. It was then that Ye Tianchen fought against many powerful beings to safeguard the safety of the Human Clan. Whether it was equally powerful Superpower Users, Mutants and Demon Beasts, or masters of Ancient Martial Sects, countless life-and-death battles made Ye Tianchen even stronger and advanced his Superpower Realm all the way to the Divine Level. In the apocalypse, there were experts who practiced both Ancient Martial Sects’ Absolute Skills and Superpower Skills. Simply put, these were already powerful Superpower Users who went on to learn the Absolute Skills of Ancient Martial Sects. The combination of the two made them extraordinarily powerful. Just like Xie Yuhe, in terms of true strength, she wasn’t that strong. The reason she could push Ye Tianchen to this point was that she was not only a Superpower User but had also practiced the Absolute Skills of an Ancient Martial Sect. The combination of the two multiplied the lethality of her moves several times over. The main reason why many inherently strong Superpower Users wanted to learn the Absolute Skills of Ancient Martial Sects during the apocalypse was to strengthen their bodies. All energy within the human body is stored within the flesh — in the blood, the meridians, the bones. Whether it’s Superpower or powerful Inner Strength, both reside inside the body and can be instantaneously activated when needed, increasing attack power and lethality. However, many Superpower Users, despite their rising Superpower Realms and breakthroughs, couldn’t become stronger. The key issue was that they didn’t temper their bodies enough; their bodies simply couldn’t withstand the heavy load of Superpower. If they forcefully used their power, there was only one outcome — their bodies would explode and they would die. This is why, after being reborn in this life, Ye Tianchen tempered his body in a simple way every night. He knew that if his body couldn’t withstand the increase in realm, it wouldn’t only be of no benefit but also harmful. Ancient Martial Sects’ Absolute Skills could perfectly make up for the physical inadequacies of Superpower Users. Every Sect’s Absolute Skill had its corresponding Internal Cultivation Methods. These methods weren’t as mystical as most ordinary people imagine. Simply put, they are ways to practice Inner Strength. When your body contains enough Inner Strength, it becomes exceptionally sturdy and strong. At a higher level, a casual punch would unleash powerful Inner Strength and make you far more formidable than ordinary people. Therefore, during the apocalypse, many Superpower Users coveted the Absolute Skills of Ancient Martial Sects — not just for the sophisticated moves but more importantly, for the mysterious Inner Strength Cultivation Techniques. Among them, Ye Tianchen was no exception. Naturally, everyone wanted to be stronger, especially in an apocalyptic world where weakness meant becoming prey. The desire to become stronger was widespread. According to Ye Tianchen’s knowledge, the most powerful Inner Strength Cultivation Technique was Shaolin’s Yijin Jing. While other Ancient Martial Sects’ Absolute Skills like Taiji Bagua Palm, Xingyi Boxing, Wudang Swordsmanship, Hua Mountain Sword Skill, and the like were indeed formidable, they focused on moves used in conjunction with Inner Strength. On the surface, they appeared to make someone stronger, but they had their pros and cons and didn’t purify Inner Strength for powerful use. However, Shaolin’s Yijin Jing was different. It was designed to fortify the body, a method for practicing exceptionally strong Inner Strength, with no particular moves required, solely focusing on Internal Cultivation Methods. Sadly, during the apocalypse, it had already been destroyed. Even if it still existed, it was only within certain forces or clans, the remains of its essence. Even so, those from such forces and clans who obtained it and combined it with Superpower, were still able to dominate the apocalypse. "Shaolin’s Yijin Jing was destroyed in the apocalypse. Does it still exist in this life? If there’s a chance, I should make a trip to Shaolin Temple; maybe I can still find it," Ye Tianchen mused to himself. When Ye Tianchen got home, his younger sister, Ye Qianwen, was playing on the computer in the living room, while his mother, Luo Yan, was watching television. Seeing Ye Tianchen return, both were surprised and curious. They knew he had gone to the Qin family but were unsure about Qi Ruxue’s situation. "Brother, you’re back! Did you see sister Ruxue?" Ye Qianwen quickly asked. "Tianchen, how is Ruxue doing?" Luo Yan also inquired. Ye Tianchen glanced at his mother, Luo Yan, and his sister, Ye Qianwen, then walked over with a sly smile and sat down on the sofa, picking up a peeled apple to eat. After munching on three big bites, he said with a smile, "Don’t worry, both of you. Qi Ruxue might be a pig-headed, but she’s a lucky one. Her engagement ceremony with Qin Heng fell through, and from what I estimate, she won’t be marrying into the Qin family anymore. The Qin family is finished!" Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, both his mother, Luo Yan, and his sister, Ye Qianwen, looked at him incredulously, wondering what he meant. It was a surprise to hear that Qi Ruxue wouldn’t marry into the Qin family anymore? The Qin family was finished? What did that mean? Who had the power to change the decisions of the Qin family and the Qi family? "Son, do you mean... The Qin family and the Qi family have both changed their minds and canceled Ruxue’s engagement to Qin Heng?" Luo Yan recovered from her shock, asking in amazement. "Bro, you said the Qin family’s done for, but what the heck happened?" Ye Qianwen also asked anxiously. "Heaven’s secrets must not be revealed!" Ye Tianchen teased with a chuckle. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Qianwen glared at her older brother, Ye Tianchen, and went over to pinch his arm with her little hand, "Bro, if you dare to keep me in suspense, I’m going to get rough!" "Tianchen, what exactly happened?" Luo Yan was also very anxious. In this lifetime, the people Ye Tianchen feared most were his mom Luo Yan and his sister Ye Qianwen. He could ignore any other woman and occasionally flirting was just to spice up life, but not mom Luo Yan and little sister Ye Qianwen – he simply couldn’t afford to offend them. Family meant there were loving emotions involved. "The situation was like this, by the time I got there, Qin Heng and his son Qin Taoyuan were already done for, and that old fogey Qin Yi had passed out from anger. All of the Qin family’s guests had run off; no one knew what had happened..." Of course, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t tell his mom and sister about the havoc he wreaked at the Qin family; it would only scare them. Telling them would only cause them immense worry and keep them on tenterhooks. The Ye family’s influence was no match for the Qin family. In his recent rampage at the Qin family, he had kicked Qin Taoyuan and punched Qin Heng, even stuffing them into coffins, and the grand elder and heavyweight national figure Qin Yi was angered to the point of collapse. So many witnesses were there; the incident would probably not just shake Capital City, but the entire country. He wasn’t sure if this issue with the Qin family could be nicely resolved, or if it would involve the Ye family. However, Ye Tianchen hadn’t thought too much about it. Let the water come, he’d block it; let the soldier come, he’d bury it. That was his personality. If anyone dared to touch his family, even the Heavenly King wouldn’t be spared. "No way, did that really happen?" "Someone wreaked havoc at the Qin family?" "Who’s so bold to dare cause trouble at the Qin family?" "It can’t be Ruxue’s ardent suitor, right? That would just be too cool!" Even though Ye Tianchen didn’t tell his mom and sister about stirring up trouble at the Qin family, the surprised Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen were beyond excited. Of course, they hoped Qi Ruxue wouldn’t marry into the Qin family, because she didn’t like Qin Heng at all and marriage would make her miserable for life. Hearing about these incidents at the Qin family, their happiness was mixed with astonishment – they wondered who could be so bold as to trash the Qin family. "That pig-headed Qi Ruxue can’t have that many die-hard suitors, right? She must just be darn lucky!" Ye Tianchen said in annoyance. "Hehe, bro, whether it’s Ruxue’s devoted suitor or not, the point is that she doesn’t have to marry that villain Qin Heng, and that’s something to be happy about! As for the unlucky guy who acted impulsively and trashed the Qin family, whatever disaster falls upon him, it has nothing to do with us. We can only silently bless him from our hearts, hoping he can escape the Qin family’s revenge!" Ye Qianwen cheerfully said. Upon hearing his sister’s words, Ye Tianchen’s forehead was streaming with metaphorical black lines. This girl still didn’t know that the person who had trashed the Qin family was none other than herself; wasn’t she cursing her own brother? "You two go ahead and enjoy your excitement. I’m going to take a nap. Wake me up for dinner!" Ye Tianchen lightly tapped Ye Qianwen on the head and headed up to the second floor of the villa. Mother and daughter, Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen, exchanged a smile. In any case, they were very fond of Qi Ruxue, as she had been living at the Ye family’s home and they had gotten along very well. They couldn’t help but be delighted that Qi Ruxue was safe. They just didn’t know that the handsome guy they imagined who dared to trash the Qin family was actually Ye Tianchen! (To be continued.
