CHAPTER 191: CHAPTER 191 NOT CONVINCED UNTIL YOU ARE (5)_1

"What is this?" Shangguan You muttered to herself. Is this even more powerful than my talismans? Why don’t I possess such spells?

"The Forgetfulness Spell? Your own items are much stronger than this. It’s just that your skills aren’t refined enough, so you can’t bring out their full power. Once your Spiritual Energy reaches the next level, I believe it won’t be long before I’m no longer your match," Ye Sanshao said with a smile. Even though Shangguan You’s Spiritual Energy wasn’t deep enough, he had to admit that her medicines and spells were very useful. For instance, he himself couldn’t cast a spell that could stop time—that kind of spell belonged to the category of Space Spells. He truly didn’t understand where Shangguan You got these things from. Some were completely different from the Cultivation World, and if she didn’t use her Spiritual Energy, one couldn’t even tell she was a Cultivator.

Shangguan You rolled her eyes. I’ve been reborn for less than three months and have only practiced these skills for such a short time! Moreover, I’m very busy during the day and only have time to practice at night. But now I’m also occupied at night and hardly have any time to practice, so of course, I’m falling behind Ye Sanshao.

After treating Zhuge Feng’s wounds and giving some instructions, Shangguan You learned from Ye Sanshao that both the Shangguan Family and the Lin Family were looking for her, and that Shangguan Zhi had even gone directly to the Lin Family’s residence. Realizing things had escalated, she hurriedly left with Ye Sanshao.

"I’ll have someone send you away."

"No need," Ye Sanshao declined indifferently, quickly wrapping an arm around Shangguan You’s waist. With a leap, their bodies soared into mid-air and disappeared into the pitch-black night. Zhuge Feng watched their vanishing figures until they were out of sight, then took another deep breath and softly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with resolute determination. I will become stronger! I will protect her! I won’t let her shield me again!

In mid-air, Shangguan You could hear the wind whistling past her ears. I can clearly sense Ye Sanshao’s unique masculine scent—that faint aroma of cologne—as his hands hold my waist tightly. His deep eyes, like stars, shine even brighter in the darkness.

"I know I’m very handsome," Ye Sanshao said, sensing Shangguan You’s scrutinizing gaze. His lips curved into a charming smile, and with a quick tug, he drew her closer. Under the vast starry sky, the two of them soared through mid-air.

Shangguan You let out a mocking laugh. He is indeed quite handsome, but his kind of handsome is annoying. Channeling Spiritual Energy to her hands, she pushed against Ye Sanshao’s chest.

Successfully distancing herself once again, she thought, Ye Sanshao is a dangerous man. This kind of dangerous man is someone I don’t want to have too much contact with.

"You’re so ungrateful!" Ye Sanshao’s figure stabilized in mid-air as he gazed at her intently, his voice carrying an inexplicable sense of grievance and a trace of annoyance. "When I heard you were abducted, I rushed over immediately. Although I was a little late—luckily, not too late—you returned safely. Is this how you repay your savior?"

"Savior?" Shangguan You scoffed again. In what way is Ye Sanshao a savior?

"Of course! I’m your lifesaver. I brought you back from the hands of the Inferno Sect; I saved you! I even came up with an excuse for you. How about that? I’m quite the savior, aren’t I?" Ye Sanshao chuckled lightly, increasingly pleased with his idea. With this excuse, I can openly visit the Shangguan Family in the future to find the girl. They’ll definitely welcome me then.

"To the harbor? Or would you prefer to return home like this?" Ye Sanshao looked at Shangguan You’s furious face, the smile on his lips growing wider. Unless she reveals all her secrets to her family, she can’t explain how she returned safely. So, my role as her savior is essential.

"HMPH," Shangguan You snorted coldly and headed towards the harbor Ye Sanshao had indicated. In mid-air, she could see everything clearly, including the dark sea in the distance.

Ye Sanshao chuckled softly and quickly caught up, maintaining pace with her. Shangguan You glared at him resentfully. I thought I was strong, but I’m only now realizing there’s always someone better!

She pushed her speed to the limit, flying rapidly through the air. Ye Sanshao’s lips twitched slightly as he maintained a balanced distance with her; when she slowed, he slowed; when she sped up, he sped up. No matter what I do, I just can’t shake off Ye Sanshao, that bastard!

"Ye Sanshao, who exactly are you? From the Cultivation Sect Zhuge Ao spoke of?"

"Do you believe in immortality in this world?" Ye Sanshao asked, his lips curling slightly, his star-like gaze fixed on the distant cosmos.

"Do you think you’re some immortal ancient monster?" Shangguan You scoffed. I wanted to ridicule him more, but then I remembered the Everlasting Youth Pill in my space—a pill that can keep one’s appearance unchanged. Currently, I’ve only opened two levels of the Medicine King Tower. Who knows, maybe one of the upper levels contains a pill for eternal life. So, she wisely shut her mouth.

If Ye Sanshao is such an anomaly and truly immortal, how old is he now?

"Ye Sanshao, how old might you be?" Shangguan You asked with sincere curiosity.

"HAHAHA, girl, you’re so gullible! Do you really believe I’m a thousand-year-old monster? If that were true, wouldn’t people be dragging me off for research? Immortality is something the whole world dreams of," Ye Sanshao laughed heartily, a glint sparkling in his eyes. "I am the third young master of the Ye Family. You know the Ye Family’s business spans the globe; we stand at the pinnacle of commerce. Without some self-defense skills, I’d be kidnapped in no time. I’m twenty-two this year, only a few years older than you. So, there’s still a chance for us."

"I’m sixteen this year, in the prime of my youth, so you’d best find someone else, old man. I’m not interested in you," Shangguan You retorted coldly. Before she could finish speaking, the Spiritual Energy within her body suddenly surged chaotically, causing spasms of pain. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from her lips, and her body plummeted from mid-air towards the ground below.
