What Is Kun? Ye Chen: Not Even Dogs Would Join the Tang Sect

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Tang Ya happily trotted into the room and began tidying up the room that would belong to her in the future.

As she passed by, she noticed that the room on the left had two beds in it. Puzzled, she turned to Ye Chen, who was lying on the sofa, and asked.

"Ye Chen, is this your room? Why are there two beds?"

Hearing Tang Ya's question, Ye Chen's thoughts immediately returned to his childhood. Back then, Sister Lexuan had slept in the bed beside his to look after him.

At the time, Ye Chen could not walk freely, and he could barely speak clearly. Whenever he was hungry, he could only make "yiyaya" noises to tell Sister Lexuan that he needed feeding.

Even now that Ye Chen had grown up, he had kept that bed there.

"Mm, that's my room. As for why there are two beds, I'm used to it."

"Oh."

Tang Ya did not think much of his answer. She turned around, went into her room, and began arranging it.

Girls always took a long time to organize their things. Several hours passed, and while Ye Chen had already fallen asleep on the sofa, Tang Ya still had not finished tidying her room.

As the sun set, it gradually sank beneath the lake's surface.

"Finally done."

Tang Ya looked at the room she had decorated with such a cozy atmosphere and felt deeply satisfied. Seeing Ye Chen snoring away on the sofa, she walked over to him.

"Ye Chen, wake up. I'm done cleaning."

Tang Ya shook Ye Chen's body, jolting him awake from his sleep.

"Ye Chen, I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

Tang Ya's crisp, pleasant voice sounded by Ye Chen's ear. At that moment, her stomach was rumbling loudly.

After being awakened by Tang Ya, Ye Chen looked at the silly, foolish girl before him with some helplessness. Why did his current situation feel so much like when Sister Lexuan had taken care of him?

Although Tang Ya had experienced the destruction of her family, Ye Chen had helped her wipe out the Iron Blood Sect, so the burden in her heart was no longer as heavy. Her nature had naturally become innocent and carefree.

"Let's go. I'll take you to eat something different later."

As he spoke, excitement flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He planned to take Tang Ya to do something big.

Seeing the excitement in Ye Chen's eyes, Tang Ya somehow felt as though he was about to take her off to do something bad.

More than ten minutes later.

In a secret area of Shrek Academy, within the Soul Beast Breeding Area.

Ye Chen and Tang Ya appeared there. Ye Chen held Tang Ya's hand as he looked around, observing the situation in every direction.

"Ye Chen, why did we sneak here? You aren't planning to do something bad, are you?"

Holding Ye Chen's hand, Tang Ya spoke softly, afraid that someone nearby might hear them.

"Tang Ya, we're here to find our dinner. Let me tell you, the meat of the soul beasts raised here is delicious. Once I roast one for you, you'll understand."

Ye Chen turned around and spoke to Tang Ya with the air of an experienced veteran.

"Ah, are we going to steal soul beasts?"

Tang Ya was shocked, and panic rose in her heart. What if they were discovered?

"Shh, keep your voice down. We're not stealing soul beasts. This is called borrowing, understand? Borrowing soul beasts."

Ye Chen looked at Tang Ya with a serious face and calmly fed her a string of nonsense.

If Beibei had been there, he would have found the scene incredibly familiar. Wasn't this exactly what had happened when Ye Chen first took him to steal and eat soul beasts?

After saying that, Ye Chen expertly led Tang Ya to the breeding area for his favorite type of soul beast.

"Tang Ya, go over there later and take out two Soft Bone Rabbits."

"As for me, I'll go borrow two Kun over there. We'll meet back here afterward."

Ye Chen pointed Tang Ya toward a path leading to the Soft Bone Rabbit breeding area and gave her instructions.

Tang Ya was confused when she heard this. She knew what Soft Bone Rabbits were, but what was this Kun Ye Chen was talking about? Why had she never heard of such a soul beast? She immediately asked him.

"Ye Chen, what is Kun? I've never heard of this kind of soul beast. Is it tasty?"

Ye Chen coughed lightly, then explained the meaning of Kun to Tang Ya.

"Kun refers to especially delicious chicken. It tastes incredibly fresh and flavorful. Do you understand now?"

Tang Ya instantly understood and nodded repeatedly. So that was it. She felt that she had learned another little bit of knowledge.

Then Ye Chen and Tang Ya headed to their respective breeding areas to steal—no, to "borrow"—a few soul beasts to try something fresh.

After borrowing two Kun and two cute Little Rabbits, Ye Chen took Tang Ya to barbecue by Sea God Lake.

The two set up a grill beside Sea God Lake. Before long, waves of fragrance drifted from it, making Tang Ya drool nonstop.

Ye Chen picked up a freshly grilled piece of spicy rabbit meat and handed it to Tang Ya.

"Here. Try my cooking."

Tang Ya swallowed hard, took the rabbit meat Ye Chen handed her, and sampled a small bite. Her eyes instantly sparkled.

"Mmm, it's so good."

Seeing Tang Ya start eating, Ye Chen could no longer hold back. He picked up a grilled Kun, opened his mouth, and started gnawing on it.

The two ate barbecue beside Sea God Lake, watching the waves surge back and forth across its surface and the star-filled sky above.

The sea breeze gently brushed across their faces, adding a touch of charm to the barbecue feast.

Looking at the beautiful Sea God Lake, then at Ye Chen beside her who was still gnawing on Kun, Tang Ya unconsciously began to share her true feelings with him.

"Ye Chen, do you think I can revive the Tang Sect?"

Upon hearing Tang Ya's words, Ye Chen stopped chewing the delicious Kun. Looking at Tang Ya's bewildered expression, he slowly said.

"It'll be difficult, but it's not impossible."

Tang Ya's eyes immediately lit up at Ye Chen's words. She then wanted to invite Ye Chen to join her Tang Sect.

"Ye Chen, would you be willing to join the Tang Sect?"

Tang Ya looked at Ye Chen expectantly. If Ye Chen was willing to join the Tang Sect, then their Tang Sect would surely be able to rise again.

Seeing the anticipation in Tang Ya's eyes, Ye Chen rejected her this time, unlike last time. The Tang Sect? Not even dogs would join it.

"No. I don't want to join the Tang Sect."

Ye Chen firmly rejected Tang Ya's invitation. Tang Ya grew anxious upon hearing that and said to him.

"Why? I can teach you all of the Tang Sect's secret arts. Even if you want the position of Tang Sect Master in the future, I can give it to you."

Seeing Tang Ya's anxious expression, Ye Chen said nothing more. He merely shook his head to express his decision.

When Tang Ya saw that Ye Chen had no intention of joining the Tang Sect, disappointment and confusion immediately filled her heart.

How could she revive the Tang Sect by herself? She had only just become a Soul Grandmaster and had not even reached Soul Elder.

And with her talent, she might not even be able to break through to Soul Sage. How could she possibly speak of reviving the Tang Sect?
