880: Chapter 873 Bold Conjecture 880: Chapter 873 Bold Conjecture “Ye Chenfeng, you’re just a bastard, a tortoise bastard at that.
You brought me to Capital City, and then you disappeared without a trace for so many days.
And now, just upon meeting again, you bully me like this; don’t you think it’s disgraceful to bully a woman?” Xia Zining’s face was flushed with shame as she spoke.
Knowing she had no chance of breaking free from Ye Chenfeng’s grasp, she stopped struggling.
Besides, being pressed so close to Ye Chenfeng meant that any struggle would cause friction between their bodies, something she definitely didn’t want to happen.
Ye Chenfeng, too, felt a little bit shameless, but he certainly wasn’t going to show weakness in front of Xia Zining.
He knew all too well that women are naturally irrational creatures, and if they thought they had a rightful cause, they would only become more willful and troublesome.
Ye Chenfeng simply smiled.
The fragrance from Xia Zining’s body kept wafting into his nostrils, prompting him to involuntarily sniff.
Noticing Ye Chenfeng’s action, Xia Zining’s cheeks instantly turned beet red as she said, “Ye Chenfeng, let go of me right away.
Didn’t you say you were here on serious business?
Is this what you call serious business?”
“I had no choice!
If you promise not to be unreasonable, then I’ll let go, and we can discuss the important matter at hand.
The business I’m talking about is related to whether you can return to the Ancient Martial World soon, so it’s actually to your benefit,” Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
Upon hearing that it could expedite her return to the Ancient Martial World, Xia Zining frowned and said, “Fine, let go of me first.
I promise not to be unreasonable.
Besides, if you hadn’t suddenly appeared, I wouldn’t have…” Her voice trailed off, becoming softer and softer until it was no longer audible.
After hearing Xia Zining’s promise, Ye Chenfeng finally released her.
Xia Zining immediately ran to her room.
Watching her retreating figure, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but bring his right hand to his nose and sniff, still catching the lingering scent of her fragrance.
But just as Xia Zining reached her room door, she suddenly turned around and caught sight of Ye Chenfeng sniffing his hand.
Furious, her chest heaving with anger, she cursed, “Shameless, pervert, rogue.”
With a loud “Bang!” Xia Zining entered her room and slammed the door shut behind her.
Ye Chenfeng simply smiled nonchalantly and headed down to the living room to wait for Xia Zining.
About fifteen minutes later.
Xia Zining came downstairs dressed in a home outfit.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, her cheeks blushed slightly again.
She chose a seat opposite him and glared at him with fiery eyes, scolding, “Ye Chenfeng, as a man, can’t you be a little less shameless?”
Ye Chenfeng was used to Xia Zining’s scolding.
A dead pig doesn’t fear scalding water, as the saying goes, and he laughed, “If men weren’t shameless, I think the world would have perished long ago.
Do you know why?”
Caught off guard by Ye Chenfeng’s sudden question, Xia Zining unconsciously asked, “Why?”
“Because if every man were truly noble and virtuous, then they wouldn’t engage in activities in bed with women, and without those activities, how would women have children?
Without children, the human population would slowly decrease until extinction.
Therefore, shamelessness is a necessary trait for a man, a basic principle,” Ye Chenfeng declared with conviction.
After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Xia Zining realized she had been wrapped up in his logic once again.
She could never seem to gain the upper hand over Ye Chenfeng in any respect.
She snorted indignantly through her nose and said, “Ye Chenfeng, what is the important matter you came to discuss this time?
Does it relate to my entering the Ancient Martial World soon?”
Seeing Xia Zining return to the main topic, Ye Chenfeng stopped beating around the bush and said, “Xia Zining, do you remember the last time at Myriad Poison Sect, when I concocted the Bone-Dissolving Powder?
The powder I made was many times stronger than Myriad Poison Sect’s version.
Actually, I stumbled upon a book called the ‘Mysterious Poison Tome,’ and I found the formula for the Bone-Dissolving Powder in there.
Is this ‘Mysterious Poison Tome’ related to Myriad Poison Sect?
You’re from the top forces; have you ever heard of the ‘Mysterious Poison Tome’?”
When Ye Chenfeng mentioned the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture, Xia Zining’s expression changed slightly, filled with utter astonishment as she asked, “Ye Chenfeng, you have the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture in your possession?”
Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, “Yes, do you know of this Myriad Saints Poison Scripture?”
After receiving Ye Chenfeng’s affirmative reply, Xia Zining took a deep breath and said, “No wonder you were able to concoct that incredible Bone-Dissolving Powder at the Myriad Poison Sect last time.
The Myriad Saints Poison Scripture in your hands indeed has some connection with the Myriad Poison Sect.”
Xia Zining paused for a moment before continuing, “The Myriad Poison Sect is just a branch of the Poison Shura Sect, and the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture in your hands is the treasure that once protected the Poison Shura Sect.
Five to six hundred years ago, it was with the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture that the Poison Shura Sect was able to rise to the top-tier powers.
The Poison Shura Sect was extremely prominent at that time, and its name spread rapidly throughout the entire Ancient Martial World.”
“However, good times did not last long.
Later, it seemed that there was an internal strife within the Poison Shura Sect, and suddenly, the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture disappeared from within.
The infighting in the Poison Shura Sect became even more intense, and in the end, the once-thriving Poison Shura Sect fractured and slowly vanished from the sight of the various sects in the Ancient Martial World.”
“The Myriad Poison Sect was established afterward by an elder of the Poison Shura Sect.
Since the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture was lost, many of the unique poison formulas disappeared with it.
Hence, the newly established Myriad Poison Sect could only linger as a third-rate power and never return to the glory days of the Poison Shura Sect.”
Listening to Xia Zining speak of the Poison Shura Sect and Myriad Poison Sect, and hearing the origin of the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture, Ye Chenfeng understood why the Poison Shura Sect had managed to become a first-rate power.
The people of the Poison Shura Sect back then must have known about the Body Tempering Elixir and the Blood-colored Meteorite within the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture; those were the things that quickly led to the Poison Shura Sect’s rise.
Yet, later on, for reasons unknown, the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture disappeared and somehow ended up in the Han Sect before eventually finding its way into the hands of Ye Chenfeng centuries later.
Many things became clearer in Ye Chenfeng’s mind; the past splendor of the Poison Shura Sect was all due to that very Myriad Saints Poison Scripture.
Ye Chenfeng did not tell Xia Zining about the Body Tempering Elixir and the Blood-colored Meteorite.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her integrity; he simply preferred to be more cautious in his actions.
As for the medicinal ingredients needed to concoct the Body Tempering Elixir, they were all found in the Ancient Martial World and Ye Chenfeng had long contemplated an idea.
If he knew the medical properties of the various herbs needed to concoct the Body Tempering Elixir, could he possibly use herbs from the Secular World to substitute them?
Even though the efficacy of the Body Tempering Elixir might be slightly reduced, he could compensate for that deficiency with quantity.
This was another reason Ye Chenfeng had come to see Xia Zining.
Ye Chenfeng did not know the medical properties of the various herbs used to concoct the Body Tempering Elixir, so he had to seek guidance from Xia Zining.
He listed the names of the herbs and asked Xia Zining to tell him about their medical properties.
Although Xia Zining did not understand what Ye Chenfeng was up to, she still fulfilled his request.
After committing the medical properties of the various herbs to memory, Ye Chenfeng asked, “Are you coming with me now, or shall I find you here again when I am about to enter the Ancient Martial World?”
“I will continue to stay here.
Don’t forget our agreement—you have to take me back to the Ancient Martial World within a year,” Xia Zining answered without hesitation.
“Don’t worry, I’ll remember.
Perhaps we’ll even have a chance to enter the Ancient Martial World again sooner.
So wait here peacefully for my news,” Ye Chenfeng said.
Xia Zining nodded; she speculated that Ye Chenfeng might have uncovered some secret in the Myriad Saints Poison Scripture.
However, since Ye Chenfeng did not mention it, she tactfully refrained from asking further.
For now, she only wished to have Ye Chenfeng take her back to the Ancient Martial World as soon as possible.
