Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

When Ling Chuxi and the rest had finished placing their bets, they left the gambling house. Squinty-eyes passionately sent them off, then happily went to report the good news to his boss. That group betting on Ling Chuxi getting first place was practically sending them free money!

…

The next thing Ling Chuxi and the rest needed to do was to prepare for war. There were many people participating in the fighting competition this time around and the battle that was going to be held in the first round was a chaotic large-scale fight. The conditions of the so-called large-scale fight was simply that groups of more than ten people would go into the fighting ring at a time and without differentiating between enemies and friends, they were to spar and the last person standing at the end would be the winner of that group! Then, all the winners from the first round would be eligible to enter the next round of the competition.

On this early morning, Fu Chengyu stood on his loft and looked down at the courtyard as he usually did. This time, he saw Ling Yichen standing alone in the courtyard with his sword in his hand as he practiced defending and attacking.

The morning dew was cold and there was a layer of clear snow on his hair. However, small drops of sweat streamed down the side of his face non-stop. Compared to his somewhat skinny face in the past, he looked a little more delicate yet also a little more determined. Ling Yichen had been cultivating like crazy these few days. Fu Chengyu looked at this scene, feeling speechless. He totally understood Ling Yichen’s intentions. He could clearly see Ling Yichen’s feelings toward Ling Chuxi. The kind of protection he was offering was silent and did not require repayment. However, Ling Chuxi’s incredibly speedy growth made Ling Yichen slowly lose his opportunity to protect her.

Facing Ling Chuxi’s promotion, although Ling Yichen did not say anything on the surface, Fu Chengyu could deeply feel the depression and frustration in Ling Yichen. That was why he was so crazily cultivating, trying to catch up to Ling Chuxi’s level.

As for himself, Fu Chengyu lowered his head and slowly stretched out his palm. Seeing his own pale palm, the corners of his lips curled up into a bitter smile. He could not deny that he had fallen for Ling Chuxi, but he was not the right person for her. That night, he had thought he would never awaken again. Who knew that when he opened his eyes again, he saw such a lively pair of bright eyes staring back at him. At that moment, the young maiden he saw was like a little deer barging into his heart. It was just that he had buried his deep budding feelings. Ling Chuxi was indeed very outstanding. The amount of people who were interested in her would definitely not just be a few. He himself could not match up to her, but hopefully…

Fu Chengyu raised his head to look at Ling Yichen who was crazily cultivating and made a decision in his heart. He turned around and went into the house. Not long after, he went down to look for Ling Yichen.

…

In Ling Yichen’s house, Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen sat down and looked at each other.

“Have you thought it through?” asked Fu Chengyu seriously. “The power to make this decision lies with you.”

“I have thought it through,” answered Ling Yichen with a nod. There was an unprecedented determination in his gaze.

“All right. However, you need to remember that Master had once said that the emphasis of this cultivation method lies within these four words—Vast Sea Wide Sky. Think about it yourself,” said Fu Chengyu as he pushed the manual which was on the table between them towards Ling Yichen. This cultivation method was something Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen’s master had left behind. It was a cultivation method that was very domineering, so if it was practiced successfully, it would inevitably bring about a breakthrough, but if it failed, everything would perish altogether. So, after Fu Chengyu explained all this to Ling Yichen clearly, he left the decision to Ling Yichen. But he knew that Ling Yichen would definitely choose to practice it without hesitation!

“Thank you, Senior Brother!” said Ling Yichen as he nodded gratefully and kept away the manual.

“Quickly grow stronger. Strong enough so you can protect Chuxi.” After he said this, Fu Chengyu suddenly recalled the mysterious silver-haired, purple-eyed man. Even if he did not know that man’s identity, Fu Chengyu also understood that he was most likely to be Ling Yichen’s greatest rival!
