CHAPTER 245: CHAPTER 245: MILITARY ARRIVAL (1)_1

He clearly saw the sparks of fury in her eyes. Although he had intended to deepen the kiss, the raging anger he witnessed made him swiftly pull away.

"Asshole!" Shangguan You roared, leaping up from the ground. With a wave of her hands, a light blue Water Element appeared, snaking towards Ye Sanshao. Simultaneously, large sinkholes began to appear in the ground, one after another. If Ye Sanshao remained standing there, he would undoubtedly be dragged inside.

"Ice Seal!" Shangguan You called out softly, employing both Earth Element and Water Element in her attack against Ye Sanshao.

Ye Sanshao soared into the sky, dodging the Water Chains and the Earth Element attacks on the ground. As for the Ice Seal Thousand Miles, he simply burst through the ice layer. He hovered in midair, a wicked smile playing on his lips, his fingers tracing them as if savoring the memory of the kiss.

The faint moonlight draped over him, cloaking him in a silvery sheen that made him appear even more enchanting and sinister. Seeing Ye Sanshao like this reignited the fury in Shangguan You’s heart.

"Hehe, girl, that kiss wasn’t bad," Ye Sanshao’s suggestive voice rang out, his deep eyes twinkling. "Let’s make all our kisses like that from now on. You like it, and I like it too."

"Bind him!" Shangguan You commanded, and the Water Chains snaked towards Ye Sanshao.

"Girl, you’ve obtained the Water Spirit Bead and the Earth Spirit Bead, but you mustn’t let others find out, or it will bring great trouble," Ye Sanshao said. He easily waved his hands to repel the Water Element surrounding him, his fingers once again tracing his lips as he continued leisurely, "Moreover, I came to tell you to be careful of the people around you and that batch of serum. Otherwise, I’ll have to save you again, and you’ll owe me even more kisses."

"Hmph! Only you know about it. Are you saying you’re the dangerous one?" Shangguan You roared.

"I am dangerous to others, but for you, I am the safest option, dear girl," he replied. "Now that you’re fine, I can rest assured. Ye Qiu is always by your side; if anything happens, you can seek her out."

"Do you think I need anyone’s help?" she retorted.

"No, you don’t," Ye Sanshao nodded. "That’s even better; it means you’re doing well. Now, about that stuff you gave me to eat earlier, how about a few more bottles?"

Ye Sanshao changed the subject, speaking rather shamelessly. He even descended from mid-air and extended his hand towards her.

"I don’t have any," Shangguan You responded icily, retracting her Water Element. It’s pointless to use these things on this fiend, Ye Sanshao, she thought. Once I break through to level 4, I’ll show him how I deal with him!

"Girl, that thing can gather ambient Spiritual Energy. It’s beneficial for us," Ye Sanshao said, his gaze on her retreating figure as he gave a mild warning. "But if those old codgers find out, it will cause endless trouble, so don’t take it out casually."

"Old codgers?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow, pausing. She looked at Ye Sanshao quizzically. Could there be many others like him?

"A bunch of old codgers who’ve lived for over a hundred years," Ye Sanshao explained. "But with me here, I won’t let anyone hurt you. You can rest assured."

"Hmph! If you’re really that powerful, you wouldn’t have exhausted your Spiritual Energy and ended up buried underground, unable to escape," Shangguan You scoffed coldly.

"That was because of you," Ye Sanshao said with a roguish smile. "I knew you wouldn’t have the heart to let me die, so I was waiting for you to save me."

Ye Sanshao flashed a mischievous grin, struck a pose under Shangguan You’s gaze, and offered his most charming smile before saying something that nearly made her stumble, "Girl, how about a few bottles for backup?"

Shangguan You was speechless. Ye Sanshao is actually trying to seduce me! She felt goosebumps erupt all over her skin and, with a shudder, quickly retrieved several bottles of elixir from her storage space. She tossed them to him and then hurriedly flew down the mountain. That idiot Ye Sanshao! she cursed silently.

Ye Sanshao caught the bottles, his gaze firmly fixed on Shangguan You’s retreating figure until she disappeared from sight. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze. The teasing expression vanished from his face, replaced by an intense, powerful aura that emanated from him.

"Young Master," two shadowy figures intoned respectfully, kneeling beside him.

"Have you found the whereabouts of that old geezer?" Ye Sanshao’s voice was icy as he looked at the two figures kneeling on the ground.

One of them replied, "He’s hiding in the outskirts, recuperating. We have his address. However, he was poisoned by Miss Shangguan and currently cannot leave that place, so he poses no immediate threat to us."

"Mm," Ye Sanshao hummed in acknowledgment, toying with the bottles. His smile deepened as he opened them one by one.

She not only gave me Spirit Gathering Pills but also Jade Dew Pills, he mused. She knew other things would be useless to me, so she gave the most practical ones. With these, if I get injured next time, I’ll definitely make them pay dearly.

The other subordinate reported, "Additionally, those other old codgers are also searching for Zhuge Ao’s whereabouts. Should we let them find his hiding place so they can fight amongst themselves, allowing us to reap the rewards?"

"Yes, do that," Ye Sanshao declared coldly, a terrifying killing intent radiating from him. "I want those old codgers to find it a one-way trip. They dared to target me; they will pay a price in blood."

"Yes, Young Master."

"Ye Qiu."

"Young Master."

"Stay with her and ensure her safety," Ye Sanshao instructed coldly, looking at Ye Qiu who was still kneeling. "That batch of serum—have you found out anything? Was anything added to it?"

Ye Qiu replied, "It has been sent back for investigation. The serum was issued directly from the Ministry of Health. The specific details are still being looked into, but we should have answers soon."

"Good," Ye Sanshao continued. "Alert the Yu Family to be vigilant as well. Someone dares to touch my people? This time, we’ll ensure their efforts gain them nothing. We’ll destroy their lairs in one fell swoop, ensuring they can never stir up trouble again!"

"Yes, Young Master."

Ye Sanshao snorted and then, along with the other shadowy figure, vanished into the darkness.

Ye Qiu wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed in relief. The Young Master is a completely different person in front of Miss You compared to how he is with us, she thought.

Ye Qiu’s figure flashed and disappeared. She had to go protect Miss Shangguan.
