Chapter 132 Rama's Body
Chapter 132: Rama's Body
"Yao Yue? What are you trying to do here?" Dongfang Bubai glared at Yao Yue with a sharp gaze.
Yao Yue sneered, "You, Dongfang Bubai, can come to Huayin County, but I, Yao Yue, can't?"
"Yao Yue!"
"Dongfang Bubai!"
Their eyes met, a flash of lightning, and then they charged at each other.
Bang—
in the blink of an eye, the two had already begun to clash. Fortunately, although their attacks looked fierce, aiming for each other's vital points, as if they were eager to kill each other, they were somewhat restrained.
At least the clash didn't create too much noise.
Otherwise, if the two Grandmasters had unleashed their full power, the entire Huayin County, and even Mount Hua, would have been disturbed by the noise of their clash.
"You haven't given up on your martial arts these days."
"Remember the same!"
Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue both set aside time every day for cultivation. Even with the help of their diaries, they never gave up their diligent practice.
This is probably what distinguishes them from the "Lying Flat" sect.
Take Ye Xiu, for example. Apart from a casual daily practice session, he now hardly cares about his training at all. After all, the benefits of a day's hard work are far less than the benefits of simply writing in a diary. Naturally, Ye Xiu, a "Lying Flat" sect, doesn't have the time or energy to diligently cultivate
. Even Ye Xiu's current level of dedication isn't as high as Yue Lingshan's.
Although Yue Lingshan initially focused mostly on play, devoting little attention to martial arts, she later began to practice diligently and seriously, catching up.
Of course, the most diligent practitioner in the Huashan Sect right now is actually Lin Pingzhi.
Lin Pingzhi's aptitude isn't particularly impressive; in fact, it's only slightly better than Ye Xiu's before he received the diary.
Lin Pingzhi's diligent training yields virtually no results.
Instead, his heart is filled with hatred and a single-minded focus on revenge. Whenever Lin Pingzhi paused, he would think of the destruction of the Fuwei Escort Agency and the tragic deaths of his parents. His mind was preoccupied with training and revenge.
He even repeatedly attempted to approach Yue Lingshan, hoping to gain help and improve his martial arts skills.
Unfortunately, Yue Lingshan mostly ignored him, perhaps more so because her thoughts were focused on Ye Xiu and she paid no attention to him, resulting in a state of indifference.
This filled Lin Pingzhi with resentment, yet he felt powerless.
Lately, however, Lin Pingzhi had been frequently appearing before Ye Xiu, seeking his guidance or assistance.
After all, Ye Xiu's strength was rising so rapidly. So
strong, in fact, that he was practically destined to be the next leader of the Huashan Sect.
Consequently, Lin Pingzhi sought to curry favor with Ye Xiu, gaining benefits from him and becoming even stronger, so that he could seek revenge on Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect.
Recently, Lin Pingzhi had discovered that despite his diligent training, his efforts were yielding little results. He was gradually abandoning the idea of personal revenge.
He even considered leveraging the power of the Huashan Sect to deal with the Qingcheng Sect and Yu Canghai.
Ye Xiu was the key figure who could allow the Huashan Sect to mobilize this power.
After all, under normal circumstances, the Huashan Sect, as a prestigious and upright sect, and the Qingcheng Sect, also a prestigious and upright faction, wouldn't normally engage in a life-and-death conflict. However, if Ye Xiu, the next leader of the Huashan Sect, were to target the Qingcheng Sect, the outcome would be completely different.
Furthermore, Ye Xiu seemed to have a special relationship with a woman of exceptional martial arts prowess. With that woman's help, destroying the Qingcheng Sect would be much easier.
Therefore, Lin Pingzhi truly desired Ye Xiu's help.
To do so, he had to gain Ye Xiu's favor. However, Lin Pingzhi was completely naive at pleasing Ye Xiu, and their relationship had always been the same, with little communication.
As for Lin Pingzhi, how could Ye Xiu express some sympathy for his experience? However, it seemed a bit unreasonable for him to do anything for him.
Especially at this moment, when Ye Xiu's martial arts skills were neither high nor low. Huashan could currently handle the Qingcheng Sect, but was this solely a Qingcheng Sect issue?
The Huashan Sect was still being watched by the Songshan Sect. Even without the Songshan Sect, there were still other forces to contend with.
Any rash action could potentially plunge the Huashan Sect into the abyss. Therefore, Ye Xiu had never considered confronting the Qingcheng Sect for Lin Pingzhi; it wasn't worth it.
Seeing Ye Xiu's attitude towards him, Lin Pingzhi hated himself for not being a woman. If he were, he felt that with his looks, he could seduce Ye Xiu and perhaps even achieve revenge.
Before Lin Pingzhi stood a bronze mirror. The reflection of Lin Pingzhi had bright red lips and rosy cheeks. He was currently painting his eyebrows with a brush.
"When I dress up, I'm even more glamorous than Senior Sister Yue. If I were a woman, Senior Brother Ye would definitely help me get revenge." Lin Pingzhi looked at himself in the mirror, a trace of grief and resentment flashing in his eyes again: "Why, why am I a man, why do I have to look like a woman?"
It must be said that under the extreme hatred, Lin Pingzhi's heart had begun to twist.
...
"Yao Yue, I know why you came here, but you'd better give up. As long as I'm here, your goal will never succeed." Dongfang Bubai looked up at Yao Yue.
Yao Yue sneered: "Dongfang Bubai, who do you think you are? Do you think you can stop me? Besides, you're a piece of shit. What's the point of you staying here? Didn't you see what Ye Xiu wrote in his diary? His little sister is almost climbing into his bed, and you have no way to stop her?"
Dongfang Bubai's face darkened. If possible, she would certainly stop her, but Yue Lingshan had known Ye Xiu for much longer than she did. Dongfang Bubai knew that if she hadn't used her tactics to make Ye Xiu hers, Ye Xiu's favorability towards her would definitely not have matched Yue Lingshan's.
So, in this situation, what could Dongfang Bubai do? If she did anything, Ye Xiu's favorability towards her might decline, and perhaps Yao Yue, with the help of the diary, would surpass her.
Furthermore, Dongfang Bubai felt that all the problems lay with Yao Yue.
After her manipulations, Ye Xiu became hers. Even Huang Rong, for whom Ye Xiu had a strong affection, felt distanced from her.
If this continued, Ye Xiu might have been hers for life.
But then Yao Yue suddenly appeared, not only abducting Ye Xiu but also imitating her own behavior by forcing him to have sex.
Now, Ye Xiu had gone from having only one woman to having two. This was like a rift in Ye Xiu's heart, fueling his desire to establish a harem.
Because of this, Ye Xiu might mentally lower his standards for himself, leading to more and more women around him.
The thought of this intensified Dongfang Bubai's fury. Gritting her teeth, she charged at Yaoyue again, truly wanting to give her a beating.
Yaoyue, however, refused to give in. She, too, wanted to give Dongfang Bubai a beating. After all, Dongfang Bubai was forcing her man, even though she was a newcomer. But Yaoyue's domineering nature made her see everything as Dongfang Bubai's fault.
Unfortunately, their martial arts abilities were nearly identical, making it difficult for anyone to teach him a lesson.
...
At night, Yaoyue, clad in white and aloof, looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace descended to earth.
Ye Xiu was surprised to see that it was Yaoyue who had come to see him that night.
"Palace Master Yaoyue? Why are you here?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words, Yaoyue's previously calm expression darkened, her eyes fixed on Ye Xiu.
"Um, no, well, I'm just a little surprised, surprised," Ye Xiu quickly reassured.
Hearing Ye Xiu mention surprise, Yao Yue's gloomy expression finally calmed down, though a hint of joy lingered within.
Then, Yao Yue's fingers moved slightly.
"Wait, can you not click—" Ye Xiu tried to stop Yao Yue, but it was too late. Or perhaps Yao Yue simply ignored Ye Xiu's opinion and simply clicked on him.
Well, Yao Yue was a woman with a strong, domineering personality, and a refusal to admit defeat.
Since Dongfang Bubai always clicked on Ye Xiu, how could she, Yao Yue, let him ride on her?
Unless Ye Xiu could one day ride on Dongfang Bubai, he would never be able to rise again in Yao Yue's eyes.
...
As daylight dawned, Yao Yue donned her white robes once again, reverting to the image of the aloof fairy descending from the Moon Palace.
"Nanjing's richest man, Zhang Dajing, is offering a reward for Rama's remains. I wonder if this information is useful to you," Yao Yue said, before drifting away.
Ye Xiu, lying in bed, was stunned when he heard Yao Yue's news.
Rama's remains? If there were Rama's remains, then there must be Rama's inner strength, which could regenerate severed limbs. This was good news.
After all, for Yue Buqun, the Shenzhaojing was indeed magical, but it didn't seem to be able to turn him into a real man. Rama's inner strength was undoubtedly a very good choice.
However, Ye Xiu didn't quite understand why Yao Yue told him this news. Did Yao Yue know that he needed Rama's inner strength?
But apart from mentioning it to his mistress Ning Zhongze, Ye Xiu had never told anyone else about Rama's inner strength. So how did Yao Yue know about Rama's inner strength? Or how did she know that she needed Rama's inner strength?
Ye Xiu couldn't help but wonder.
Then, Ye Xiu thought of the Shenzhaojing.
Yao Yue had obtained the Shenzhaojing from him because of Lian Xing.
Perhaps, because of Lian Xing, Yihua Palace had always been more focused on this information, leading to his efforts to obtain the Shenzhaojing, which had already been discovered by the Yihua Palace.
Perhaps Yaoyue, seeing his interest in martial arts like the Shenzhaojing, had suggested that he, too, desired the Rama internal energy?
This explanation made sense,
but Ye Xiu couldn't help but linger on the question.
This world, with its complex interweaving of relationships and forces, inevitably led Ye Xiu to believe it was a butterfly effect within the realm of martial arts. Otherwise, if it were a single martial arts world, Ye Xiu would have suspected his diary might have been read by outsiders.
Shortly after Yaoyue's departure, Ye Xiu had broken free and was free to move.
And just as Ye Xiu was beginning his free movement,
Lin Pingzhi, standing on a hilltop not too far away, pursed his lips, his longsword tightly gripped, repeatedly practicing the Huashan sword technique. But in his mind, that fleeting glimpse returned.
Previously, a woman in red had always left Ye Xiu's room before dawn. Now, it had transformed into a woman in white.
The woman in red was tall, while this woman in white had a slender figure.
However, both women were incredibly beautiful, and their martial arts skills were incredibly advanced.
Lin Pingzhi only saw a fleeting figure before they vanished from his sight. He felt that even Yue Buqun couldn't match their martial arts skills.
The reason Lin Pingzhi saw them was because he had been diligently practicing since ascending Mount Hua, waking up before dawn every day to begin his training. He had accidentally spotted the woman in red leaving Ye Xiu's room, and subconsciously began to pay attention. He saw more of them.
Seeing them so often, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but have some strange thoughts.
"If I were a woman, with my appearance—" the thought crossed his mind again.
"Hmph!" Lin Pingzhi tried to put aside his distracting thoughts and once again began to practice diligently.
Just looking at his Huashan swordsmanship, which had hardly made any progress, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but feel disappointed. He even despaired of his own qualifications.
He had obviously been practicing very hard, but there was no obvious progress at all.
According to this situation, at this speed, when would he be able to practice successfully, when would he have the strength to kill Yu Canghai, and when would he be able to take revenge?
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" Lin Pingzhi's swordsmanship began to change, and then he couldn't help but swing the sword in his hand randomly, chopping at the tree for a while, and finally knelt on the ground in despair, tears flowing uncontrollably from his eyes, like pear blossoms in the rain -
this Lin Pingzhi really was born with the wrong gender.
