"I can't remember, I don't know either, but big brother, you talk so strangely, always as if you know me very well."
"Silly girl, I do know you very well. It's just that you've forgotten so many things we've been through. But it's alright, your divine consciousness is incomplete. Perhaps when we returned from that world, you lost some crucial parts of your three souls and seven spirits. As long as I help you find them back."
"Thank you, big brother. Brother Ye, you're so good to me."
Hou Mingzhu, having become like this, was even more adorable. Ye Tiancheng loved Hou Mingzhu's current simplicity the most. Before her amnesia, whatever Hou Mingzhu did was likely a pretense. But this current purity couldn't be faked.
Forgetting all past events, perhaps this was also a kind of fortune for Hou Mingzhu.
"Now that you have carefree days, live them well for now. Hou Mingzhu, wait for me. When I become stronger, I will help you find back everything you lost."
"I'll listen to big brother. I like playing with you the most."
Watching Hou Mingzhu smile foolishly, no longer disdaining his beat-up pickup truck, Ye Tiancheng felt that Hou Mingzhu in this state possessed a special charm.
It took two hours for the car to reach the amusement park. At the entrance, Ye Tiancheng bought two tickets, opting for the top-tier VIP tickets to avoid queuing.
Although Ye Tiancheng wouldn't waste money, he felt he shouldn't be stingy when it came to spending. To be miserly while taking a woman out would be pathetic!
After they passed the ticket check and entered the amusement park, Ye Tiancheng hadn't made any prior plans. He decided to play whatever came their way. Hou Mingzhu seemed particularly fond of romantic-looking attractions, like the Ferris wheel.
Ye Tiancheng initially didn't want to ride the Ferris wheel, but Hou Mingzhu insisted. Hou Mingzhu made it clear that if Ye Tiancheng didn't satisfy her, she wouldn't help him with his tasks.
"I'm really impressed with you. You look younger, but you still have that spoiled demeanor of a young lady. Your way of threatening me is just as majestic as before."
"Hahaha, I don't quite understand what brother is saying, but whatever you say must be correct."
Even when he complained, Hou Mingzhu didn't get angry. Ye Tiancheng found himself unsure of how to handle Hou Mingzhu in this state.
"Alright, you win. After we finish this Ferris wheel ride, I'll go buy you some grilled sausages."
After the ride, Ye Tiancheng prepared to buy grilled sausages for Hou Mingzhu. But before he could take a few steps, he felt a powerful surge of true qi enveloping him.
Ye Tiancheng knew this situation was not simple. He looked at the source of the true qi and saw it coming from a man dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, and the man looked quite young.
"You think you're worthy of being with such a beauty? You're truly insulting her!"
Ye Tiancheng initially thought he had encountered an old enemy, but upon closer inspection, he didn't recognize the person. If he didn't know him, where was this hostility coming from?
"Buddy, who are you? I don't think I know you, and you're speaking quite rudely. Are you saying I'm not worthy of this beauty, but you are?"
"I think this girl is wasted. She's tall, fair-skinned, has a great figure and refined气质, and a delicate face. Why is she with a nouveau riche like you? Look at your clothes, they scream 'loser.' The brands you wear aren't even real. A loser like you, you think you're worthy of having a beauty follow you around."
What the man said had some logic. Ye Tiancheng didn't want to argue with him. If he committed more bad deeds, he might accumulate more resentment, possibly leading to him being thrown into another world again. Ye Tiancheng didn't want to start over.
"Alright, I won't argue with you. The beauty is willing, so there's nothing you can do. Don't interfere in other people's affairs. If you don't worry about things, you'll live longer."
Ye Tiancheng walked away. When he returned with grilled sausages and popcorn, he found Hou Mingzhu talking to the man who had just belittled him.
"Mingzhu."
Ye Tiancheng quickened his pace, mainly fearing that Hou Mingzhu might be bullied. The man had spoken so nastily earlier; if he discovered Hou Mingzhu had intellectual issues, he might try to trick her.
"Brother Ye, what does this person mean by calling me an idiot?"
Ye Tiancheng strode over and grabbed the man's collar.
"What do you want?"
"No wonder this woman is with you. So she has intellectual problems and is an idiot. I was talking to her just now, and I realized this woman's IQ is really low."
Ye Tiancheng threw a punch. He didn't use his true qi, otherwise, this punch would have taken the man's head off.
But even without true qi, Ye Tiancheng, having cultivated to this level, still knocked out several of the man's teeth with this punch.
"What are you doing? How can you be so strong? Blood! So much blood! Help!"
The man was terrified by the sight of blood and almost burst into tears.
"I'm going to call the police and arrest you."
"Whatever you want, you can't catch me."
Ye Tiancheng grabbed Hou Mingzhu's hand and ran. The man, covering his mouth, chased a few steps but couldn't catch up. He could only shout curses.
"You wait for me, you can't escape. If I catch you, I'll break your legs."
Ye Tiancheng pulled Hou Mingzhu and quickly disappeared. Perhaps in the amusement park, this was the most fun activity for Ye Tiancheng.
After running for a while, Ye Tiancheng finally stopped at a corner.
"I'm not running anymore, I'm exhausted."
Hou Mingzhu and Ye Tiancheng had different physiques, so naturally, she couldn't outrun Ye Tiancheng. She was so tired she almost threw up.
"Alright, he definitely can't catch up. Was it fun, Mingzhu? This is also considered one of the amusement park's attractions."
"Brother Ye, it was so fun! Let's go find him again and play a game of cat and mouse."
Hou Mingzhu was truly naive. Hearing Ye Tiancheng say that, she wanted to go back and find the person who had wanted to deal with them.
Fortunately, Ye Tiancheng held her back. "Let's not look for him anymore. This guy is a big bad guy. We'll stay far away from him in the future."
"Oh, I understand now. Brother Ye, I'll listen to you no matter what."
The two wandered around for a while and then went back to play the rides. By afternoon, they had basically finished all the attractions. Ye Tiancheng finally couldn't stand it anymore. None of these things were interesting. Even on the scariest roller coaster, Hou Mingzhu gripped Ye Tiancheng's hand tightly, but Ye Tiancheng remained calm. How could someone who had seen so much be afraid of a roller coaster?
"Can we go home now?"
Others might think that being with a beauty like Hou Mingzhu is every man's lifelong dream, but Ye Tiancheng felt like he was taking care of a child. He didn't want to go through this experience a second time; it was utterly exhausting. Now that the task was finally completed, the most important thing was to coax her home.
"But I haven't had enough fun yet. Let's go for another ride. We bought the package ticket anyway."
"Please spare me, Mingzhu. What's so fun about this? You were terrified earlier, and now you want to do it again. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
Seeing that Ye Tiancheng was truly unwilling, Hou Mingzhu pouted. "Alright, I'll listen to brother this time. Bring me here to play more next time. I definitely want to play more."
"Okay, we'll play next time."
Finally managing to coax Hou Mingzhu, Ye Tiancheng led her towards the amusement park exit. As they reached the entrance, they saw the man they had offended earlier that day.
This man wasn't alone; he had brought dozens of his brothers. Ye Tiancheng realized he had run into a tough opponent, clearly prepared.
"There are surveillance cameras everywhere now. Let's see where you can run. I've been watching you, just waiting for you to come out. You knocked out my teeth, and now paying money won't solve the problem. You have to kneel and beg for mercy."
Ye Tiancheng thought he had misheard. With his current strength, there weren't many people who dared to make him kneel.
"Kneeling and begging for mercy is out of the question. I was momentarily agitated and knocked out a few of your teeth, which is indeed my fault. I'll give you one hundred thousand yuan, and you can get your teeth fixed."
As long as the problem could be solved with money, Ye Tiancheng didn't want to accumulate more karma. It was precisely because of too much karma that he almost lost everything before.
"One hundred thousand yuan? Stop bragging, alright? Looking at your attire, you'd be lucky to have a thousand yuan. You have the nerve to say one hundred thousand. You're not planning to pay in installments, are you? A few yuan a month to fool me."
"How about two hundred thousand, and we'll let this matter go today? It's not worth shouting and yelling over this little money. You might not feel embarrassed, but I do."
"Two hundred thousand? Even if you gave me two million, fine, today I must knock out your teeth, not leave a single one. I'll knock them all out."
After the man spoke, he made a gesture, and over twenty of his subordinates charged over in a dense mass, holding weapons, clearly intending to start a brawl.
However, these people couldn't even get close to Ye Tiancheng. Before they could reach him, they were all instantly frozen.
"Why aren't you rushing forward? Are you all looking to die?"
Ye Tiancheng had reached the highest level of the Golden Core realm, capable of controlling the will of some weaker individuals.
For instance, after a brief moment of interaction, the subordinates turned around and began attacking their boss.
"What do you want to do?"
"They seem unhappy with you, boss, and want to deal with you. Do you want me to help?"
"I'm warning you all, stay away from me. I'm not someone to be trifled with. I have some skills too."
However, nothing the guy said mattered anymore. Dozens of his subordinates surrounded him, suddenly closing in and pinning him to the ground, beating him furiously.
They say even the strongest fist can't defeat four legs. How could that guy be a match for so many people? He was immediately pinned to the ground and beaten severely.
"Help! Big brother, please save me! Can you call the police? I'm going to be beaten to death."
The busybody finally managed to stick his head out and desperately begged Ye Tiancheng for help. Ye Tiancheng smiled without a word. When the beating seemed to have reached its peak, and the guy had no chance of resisting anymore, he slowly stopped channeling his true qi.
"Alright, I think that's enough. Stop hitting him."
Ye Tiancheng outwardly tried to mediate. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stopped. Seeing their boss now kicked under their feet, they all looked stunned.
"What's going on? Do you want to beat me to death? Are you all rebelling!"
"Boss, I'm sorry. We don't know what happened. We seem to have been controlled. Our minds went blank just now. Please don't blame us."
The guy also felt that Ye Tiancheng seemed a bit sinister. Could this guy be some kind of sorcerer? Such people were not to be offended. It was better to offend a fierce person than someone like this, who could bring ruin to one's family.
"Let's get out of here quickly. Stop the nonsense."
