Chapter 136: Neither Major Nor Minor Trouble

 

Before he met Tong Xin, his original plan was to have two of Long Yin’s protectors accompany him on the journey, but since Tong Xin was present, he decided to change his plan based on the situation. Ten protectors might not even be comparable to one Tong Xin. In his opinion, as long as Tong Xin was there, anywhere he went would be the safest place.

 

“Alright, since you have already decided, we will not say anything more. No matter what, you must come back, or else… Ai.” Ye Wei sighed. Even if Ye Wuchen had shown him all the confidence one could muster, he still would not able to feel at ease.

 

“Chen-er, when do you plan to leave?” Ye Nu asked.

 

“In the morning of the day after tomorrow.”

 

“Why in a hurry?” Wang Wenshu panicked, “Chen-er, can you delay for a few more days so that I can have more time for preparation?”

 

“Let’s stick to the morning of the day after tomorrow. If I go earlier, I can return earlier. It might not be good if I delay it further.” Ye Wuchen said as he played with the teacup in his hand.

 

Wang Wenshu sat down as she said helplessly, “Then that’s fine. I will go ahead and prepare your things.”

 

“Young fellow of the Ye! Come out and show your face!”

 

Wang Wenshu was just about to leave, when a loud roar echoed from outside the living room, vibrating the teacups on the small side table. The only one who could make this kind of voice was none other than Hua Zhentian.

 

It was not long before Hua Zhentian was striding coarse and heavy steps inside. He directly ignored Wang Wenshu, Ye Nu, and son, pulling Ye Wuchen to drag him out. “Go on, you muddy little man, old man here has something to tell you!”

 

“This… Father-in-law, I can walk by myself.”

 

Hua Zhentian seemed like he did not hear him, and dragging Ye Wuchen outside, as if he was really furious.

 

Ye Wei immediately moved to stop Hua Zhentian and asked, “What did my Chen-er do wrong? What did he do to provoke such anger from General Hua?”

 

“Nonsense! Do you think he didn’t do anything to make me this anxious?” Hua Zhentian said as he was fuming, then pointing at Ye Wuchen, he roared, “This muddy little guy. I heard news that you intended to go somewhere like the Heavenly Fire Volcano… Are you tired of living? Is that a place for humans? Initially, I don’t care a damn thing about your life, but now that all the people in the city know that my daughter had abandoned that the young man from the Lin family because of you, muddy little man, if you were to fucking die, how about my daughter, huh? I tell you, I only have this daughter, if you dare to make her unhappy…”

 

Ye Wuchen had already heard that statement more than ten times. He immediately waved his hand and said, “Please don’t be mad, father-in-law. It is true that I am preparing to head out to the Heavenly Fire Volcano, but I can assure you that there is no life-threatening danger… Ah no, it will not even hurt my skin or hair, father-in-law so please remain at ease. Shuirou still has to marry me, I will not just die like that.”

 

“Nonsense, come with me, I want you to tell me everything from the beginning until the end.” Hua Zhentian allowed no further explanation, and just dragged Ye Wuchen out if the house.

 

Ye Wei and Ye Nu were somehow between laughter and tears. So long as it was related to his daughter, Hua Zhentian’s extraordinarily bad temper will be as violent as it was.

 

 

Hua Residence.

 

Hua Zhentian and Ye Wuchen were sitting across each other as they drink. Of course, they used a smaller sized wine cup now. Ever since Hua Zhentian had learned his lesson last time, he no longer dared to mention drinking competitions anymore in front of Ye Wuchen. This time, he tasted the wine in smaller mouthfuls.

 

“I said, what are you thinking about, young man? Based on your intelligence, how could you agree to something that might require you to sacrifice your life? Furthermore, it’s for the Emperor who almost killed you before… This matter is quite strange, very very strange!” At this moment Hua Zhentian’s anger had gone, his voice was now gravely serious. He was a rough person, but he was not a fool. This one point, Ye Wuchen knowns very well.

 

Ye Wuchen smiled and declined to comment further. He took a sip and felt the warmth spreading from his throat down to his stomach. Speaking of drinking competitions, in this aspect, he had been named an “expert”. “Father-in-law, your insight is very bright. Indeed there is something fishy about this matter…”

 

“Bright as shit. Quickly tell me, what are the oddities?” Hua Zhentian said, extending his neck. He was eager to learn what this young fellow was planning to do.

 

“Please forgive me for maintaining its secrecy, but what I can assure you is that this matter will not affect anyone’s interest. The Emperor and the Empress will be safe and sound. I’m just doing this for myself.” Ye Wuchen said seriously.

 

Hua Zhentian pulled his neck back as he muttered, “Since you say so, I feel relieved somehow. Since you are doing this for yourself, you shouldn’t be so stupid to the extent that you will sacrifice your life… Okay, okay. You have your own reasons not to tell me, so I will not insist anymore. Here! I’ll give you this.”

 

Hua Zhentian’s hand reached under his stool to take out a black bag, which he threw it in front of Ye Wuchen.

 

A faint smell caused Ye Wuchen to immediately guess the contents of the bag. He opened to look inside to discover that it really was full of black balls. He randomly took one out and estimated its weight, his facial expression somewhat changed as he said, “Heaven Shaker Bomb!”

 

Such a large bag of Heaven Shaker Bombs could be easily taken from anywhere around the house. No wonder the members of the Hua family had died by explosions, one by one.

 

“That’s right, these are fifty Heaven Shaker Bombs. All the Heaven Shaker Bombs that the Hua Family made this year are all here. For you to have these, so long as you don’t encounter any Heaven-Level perverts, you will not die easily… Oh? How did you know that these are Heaven Shaker Bombs? Oh! I knew it! My daughter has told you already! Ai, this silly girl. Since she has a man, she no longer keeps her secrets even though this Heaven Shaker Bomb is our Hua Family’s secret.”

 

Hua Zhentian’s mumbling made Ye Wuchen smile and he said hesitantly, “In one year, you can only make fifty?”

 

“Rubbish. Do you think these Heaven Shaker Bombs are like sweet beans that can be easily made? If it was easy, I will not be called the Heaven Shaker Bomb! Making these is harder than the Thunder Mines and Poison Flames.” Hua Zhentian said, shaking his head.

 

Ye Wuchen extended a hand and dark rays emitted. In the presence of Hua Zhentian, he stored the Heaven Shaker Bombs inside the huge space of the God of Sword’s ring. He gratefully said, “Many thanks, father-in-law.”

 

“What thanks?” Hua Zhentian stared and fiercely said, “If you dare to have any mishaps during this journey, I will certainly make a tombstone for you in my room, then curse you three hundred times daily while pointing at you, do you hear me!?”

 

Hua Shuirou, who just happened to be holding a tray of dishes, entered the room and was frightened by his father’s loud yell. The tray almost fell from her hands. Ye Wuchen immediately went over to her side, “Let me help you.”

 

Hua Shuirou gently but resolutely declined, in a low voice she said, “These things, how can it be handled by the husband?”

 

“What? Husband?” Hua Zhentian’s volume and listening ability were directly proportional. He could hear her low voice from afar very clearly, and suddenly, he stood up and roared, “Young fellow, did you hear? She already called you her husband. If you dare to let my daughter become a grass widow…”

 

Ye Wuchen waved his hand at once, “Father-in-law, you are too serious with your words. I will certainly not let your daughter suffer.”

 

Hua Shuirou seemed to be bothered by something. She put the food down on the table and impatiently asked, “Daddy, a while ago you said…”

 

“Humph, ask the young fellow yourself.” Hua Zhentian realized that he almost let everything slip, yet he refused to lie, so he passed it on to Ye Wuchen.

 

Ye Wuchen said smiling, “It’s nothing. The Emperor has assigned me to do something. Although it’s a simple matter, the distance is quite far. Back and forth, it will take two months. Father-in-law was afraid that my Xiao RouRou might became thinner while you think of me, so he was in a bad temper.”

 

With the goosebumps rising all over Hua Zhentian’s body, he inclined his neck as he drank a small cup of wine, feeling relieved.

 

“Two months? Why so long…” Hua Shuirou hesitated for a moment, then she pulled at his clothes, feeling wronged, “Can you… make it shorter?”

 

“En, I will use my fastest speed to finish all the tasks, then travel day and night just to get home. How can I not miss my Xiao RouRou?”

 

Yet again, goosebumps rose up all over Hua Zhentian’s body. He finally could not take it anymore and angrily stood, ruthlessly ousting them, “Go go go go… You two, find some place to talk to each other, don’t just stay here. I feel disgusted at hearing your conversation.”

 

…………………………

 

If a woman was extremely docile, she would be used to resigning herself to adversity; Hua Shuirou was that kind of woman. Once she gave her heart to a man, she would stick to him without any disloyalty. This time, even if Ye Wuchen beat her or scold her, she would still be docile and without any intention to rebel against nor betray him. Such kind of woman would never become a popular or loose woman, so she was the perfect candidate for a wife.

 

After intimately bonding with Hua Shuirou the whole afternoon, he was now on his way home. Upon entering the gates, he immediately sniff an unusual smell. The hazy feeling told him that it was surely not something good… It was not some bad thing as well though. It was neither major nor minor trouble coming.

 

Indeed, when he stepped into his courtyard, the “trouble” came out of the front hall. It was Zhuge Xiaoyu who was glowing with health and vigor. Ye Wuchen could not help but felt a sharp pain in his head. Since yesterday, when he unfortunately came across this Zhuge Xiaoyu, he already had a premonition that she would personally visit him.

 

“Hee hee! Where have you been? I have been waiting for you for a very long time.” Zhuge Xiaoyu was like a rabbit running beside him, bouncing and vivacious. Both her hands were tightly locked around his right arm, fearing that he might escape. Ye Wuchen tried to struggle free but was not successful, so he said helplessly, “Dearest Lady Zhuge, men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things. If somebody were see you like this, it will be bad. Before you say anything, can you let go first?”

 

“Humph, definitely not. I have decided to stick with you, I don’t care what other people say. And you forgot again, you must call me Xiaoyu!” Zhuge Xiaoyu resentfully pouted her lips, that posture… It seemed like she had already considered Ye Wuchen as her own.

 

“Fine. Dearest Xiaoyu, for coming here at this far distance, what can I do for you? Oh, it’s very late now, how can you stay at somebody’s house all alone at this late hour? Your father and mother must be worried. If it’s not something urgent, you may come again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, is that okay?” asked Ye Wuchen with concern.

 

“I don’t want to. My father and mother were longing for me to not go home.” She was clutching Ye Wuchen’s arm and with shyness, she said, “I came here today to ask you when you will marry me.”

 

Her eyeballs moved around and that face full of “shyness” seemed fake… Ye Wuchen spoke in a low and muffled voice, “Little sister Xiaoyu, when did I say that I would marry you?”
