Ning Fengzhi's Scheme, Ye Cixin Nearly Caused a Ten-Billion Accident!

Ye Cixin did not mention Ning Fengzhi again. Instead, she looked at Meng Chen with gentle eyes and warmly asked how he had been doing these past years.

"Six years without seeing you, and you've grown so much, little fellow. What's your cultivation level now? Where are you studying? Why did you only think to visit Auntie Ye now?"

Faced with this barrage of questions, Meng Chen answered them one by one.

"Please don't blame me, Auntie Ye. It's not that I didn't want to come—I simply didn't have the time. Notting City and Heaven Dou City are far apart. A round trip takes more than ten days."

"Besides, I only reported to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy yesterday. After resting for the night, I came here first thing this morning..."

Hearing this, Ye Cixin did not blame Meng Chen.

Since he had been willing to visit her, it meant Meng Chen had not forgotten her. That sentiment was enough.

"Alright, alright. Auntie Ye doesn't blame you. Oh, right—I remember you aren't a noble. How did you get into Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?"

Ye Cixin was puzzled. Heaven Dou Imperial Academy only admitted children of nobles.

Even she herself was a marquis of the Heaven Dou Empire and the royal family's chief physician. Otherwise, it would not have been easy for Ye Lingling to enroll.

Meng Chen smiled. "I was specially admitted to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

"Special admission..." Ye Cixin murmured.

As far as she knew, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's special admissions were only for descendants of nobles with meritorious service. Even if their aptitude was lacking, they could still enter.

Meng Chen was not a noble, yet Heaven Dou Imperial Academy had specially admitted him. He must have made tremendous progress over the years.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, you had innately full soul power. After all these years, you must have broken through to Soul Grandmaster already, right?"

Ye Cixin asked about Meng Chen's cultivation again.

Seeing this, Meng Chen did not conceal it.

When two purple and one black soul rings appeared—three rings beyond the standard of an ordinary Soul Elder—Ye Cixin's beautiful eyes widened in intense shock. Her voluptuous body trembled lightly, and her ample curves quivered along with it.

"Two thousand-year rings and one ten-thousand-year ring... Xiao Chen, what have you experienced all these years?"

"Just luck, just luck."

Meng Chen smiled. Looking at the begonia beauty of a mother before him, her pink lips parted wide in shock, he suddenly felt an urge to use the Thunder Hell Vine to plug them...

Meanwhile, inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's carriage.

Slap!!!

An incomparably loud slap rang through the carriage. Ning Fengzhi's strong, forceful palm struck Ning Yunxiao across the cheek, knocking his head to one side.

A bright red handprint was branded across his cheek. Traces of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto the snow leopard carpet, staining it red.

"Have you forgotten every word I told you before coming here? Who gave you permission to speak? And you dared use that tone? Do you have any respect for me as your father at all?!"

Ning Fengzhi coldly berated Ning Yunxiao. If this thirteenth son had not been fairly outstanding among all his sons, he would have received far more than a slap.

"What's wrong with marrying into the family? The Ye Family only has two women. Even if you married in, you would still be the one in charge of the Ye Family. But you had to go and ruin all my plans."

The more Ning Fengzhi thought about it, the angrier he became. He could no longer maintain his usual gentle demeanor.

He had been so close. He had been ready to agree to let Ning Yunxiao marry into the family, only for this unfilial son to jump out and ruin everything.

Ning Yunxiao lowered his head, terrified, but a flicker of unwillingness flashed through his eyes.

There are so many brothers. Why should I be the one to marry into another family?

After a while, Ning Fengzhi gradually suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Ning Yunxiao with a sinister gaze and issued his final ultimatum.

"Since you don't want to marry into the family, fine. Then pursue Ye Lingling and make her marry you."

"No matter what method you use, even if you have to make it a done deal, you must win Ye Lingling. If you fail, hmph..."

By noon, Ye Cixin kept Meng Chen for lunch.

After witnessing Meng Chen's extraordinary soul rings and his rank thirty-nine soul power, Ye Cixin became even more enthusiastic toward him.

"Xiao Chen, you're studying at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy? What a coincidence. Your Sister Lingling is also an academy student, just like you."

"You've only just enrolled. If there's anything you're unfamiliar with at the academy, go find your Sister Lingling. She'll help you."

Ye Cixin sat close beside Meng Chen, placing food on his plate as she spoke about Ye Lingling.

When the begonia beauty's voluptuous body leaned close to Meng Chen, a refined, alluring fragrance unique to a mature woman drifted into his nose. His mind immediately began to wander, and a burning heat rose in his lower abdomen.

Fortunately, he promptly activated the cold-jade soul tool hanging on his chest. A chill spread from his chest, and with practiced ease, he suppressed the heat without any accident occurring.

It could only be said: whale glue was both his blessing and his curse.

Whale glue was originally a potent tonic of extreme yang and vigor. If an ordinary adult man consumed it, it would have a certain aphrodisiac effect.

Meng Chen had consumed it year-round. While it had strengthened his body, it had also accelerated his development, leaving him far beyond his peers in that regard and with an extreme excess of yang energy.

When he had been younger, there had been little reaction. But as he grew older, Meng Chen began to suffer from it.

Fortunately, Ye Xishui had found a piece of Marrow-Ice Jade for him in the Extreme Northern Icefield and made it into a soul tool for him to wear close to his body, suppressing that yang energy.

However, as the eruptions of yang energy became increasingly frequent, the soul tool Ye Xishui had given him was beginning to lose its effectiveness.

Meng Chen glanced at the mature, plump body nearly pressed against him and quietly shifted away, putting some distance between them.

He was afraid!

If he lost control, there would be an accident. At the very least, he would have to pay tens of billions in compensation.

"Auntie Ye, I actually came to see you this time because I have a favor to ask."

Meng Chen truly could not hold out much longer, so he hurriedly stated the purpose of his visit.

Hearing this, Ye Cixin set down her chopsticks. "What is it? As long as Auntie can help, just say the word."

"It isn't anything major. I heard that Auntie Ye is highly knowledgeable about herbs, so you must have compiled many notes on medicinal plants. I'd like to borrow them and read through them..."

The reason Meng Chen wanted herbal notes was because he knew very little about the Icefire Yin Yang Well. He only recognized a few immortal herbs mentioned in the original work and knew nothing about the rest.

The Ye Family had studied medicine for generations, so they undoubtedly possessed extensive information on medicinal herbs.

When she heard that Meng Chen merely wanted to look through her herbal notes, Ye Cixin was briefly stunned before smiling sweetly.

"I thought it was something serious. Wait here a moment, Auntie will go get them right away."

With that, Ye Cixin rose and turned to leave.

Meng Chen watched that plump figure from behind. As her full, millstone-like hips swayed, they looked so thick and heavy that they could grind a person to death.

If that came down on me, I'd probably have to sacrifice my tail to survive.

A bizarre thought surfaced in Meng Chen's mind, and he quickly shook his head, driving it away.

More than ten minutes later, Ye Cixin returned carrying a stack of books. She placed them before Meng Chen and pointed to them with her jade-like hand as she introduced them.

"Xiao Chen, these books contain information on medicinal herbs across the Douluo Continent, compiled by generations of Ye Family heads. Almost every herb that has appeared on the continent is recorded here. I don't know what herb you're looking for, but these should be able to help you."

Seeing the old and new books before him, Meng Chen was delighted and repeatedly thanked Ye Cixin.

"Thank you, Auntie Ye!"

Ye Cixin smiled softly and charmingly. "Why are you being so polite with Auntie? If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Auntie. Auntie will help you look..."
