Chapter 670: Ye Xing’s Contempt
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
"He's still not back," Ning Qingxue sighed.
Luo Ying fell silent. She held Ning Qingxue's hand and said, "He's fine, don't worry."
Although she was comforting Ning Qingxue, she was worried herself too. It had been two months since the explosion and there still had been no news of Ye Mo.
If Luo Yue hadn't been facing an imminent war, they would've left to search for Ye Mo. However, they knew that if they left Luo Yue now, it would only cause chaos. They still needed to make a lot decisions.
Ye Mo wasn't there and they were his wives. If they couldn't stabilize the situation, it wouldn't end up well. Before the war, Ye Mo had left, and if they left too, what would that mean?
If there was one person who didn't care about the war, it was Ye Xing. He said casually, "If we managed to crush them the first time, we can again."
Xu Yuehua was also very confident in Luo Yue's defenses. She had carried war tests, and Luo Yue had created new secret weapons since the last war. She was just worried about Ye Mo.
"I've ordered the troops in Jason Miambi Island to retreat," Huang YInian said grumpily. He had just gotten a very important military advantage and location, but now he had to give it away.
Xu Yuehua nodded, "It's just that we had too little time this time and only 30k more immigrants arrived. If we had another year, perhaps we could have gotten a few 100k more.
Ye Xing smiled, "Don't worry, we have a secret weapon. If we beat them until they can't hold it this time, we will have at least 5 to 10 years of peace."
"Brother Ye Xing, how are you sure?" Ye Zifeng asked strangely.
Ye Xing smiled bitterly and patted his head, "I don't know why I'm certain. I seemed to have a lot of war knowledge in my brain. This small war is like child's game."
No one would doubt Ye Xing's capabilities there.
Only Xu Yuehua knew what secret weapon Ye Xing was talking about. Because Luo Yue couldn't produce that many warheads themselves, they could only rely on imported weapons, but that had also been restricted.
Ye Xing looked down on imported weapons. However, one couldn't just build a production line with money. After many months of hard work, he had invented a new type of missile system called Air Orbit Mini Missile.
These were very small missiles, but they had a great explosive power. It was far from what a normal TNT could compare with.
When Russia limited Luo Yue's missile import, Ye Xing had started making these already.
Ye Xing knew that although Luo Yue's defenses were amazing, if war really started and they were surrounded, then no matter how strong Luo Yue's defenses were, they would be defeated if they couldn't attack. So, Ye Xing created this.
Air Orbit Mini Missiles were accurate, powerful and long-ranged. The main advantage was that these missiles couldn't be detected by radar. Also, these missiles could be mass produced.
But Ye Xing and even Xu Yuehua believed that after this war, if the US wanted to provoke Luo Yue again, they would need to seriously reconsider war. The reason for the US to dare attack Luo Yue was because they knew they lacked missiles. Without offence power, defence meant nothing.
The US clearly knew how many missiles Luo Yue imported, so they were willing to take an early loss for a huge victory at the end.
Ye Xing said, "This war is really easy to handle for Luo Yue, but what won't be easy will be the aftermath."
"Brother Ye, what do you mean?" Xu Ping asked.
Ye Xing immediately said, "I'm sure that the Union's army will be crippled by our Air Orbit Mini Missiles. Yet, crippled doesn't mean defeated. Hence, we need to go out and attack right after we win the initial combat."
"It the Union's army is defeated, they won't come back. We don't' need to chase them. Moreover, we only have 30k soldiers, how could we even chase them?" Yu Miaodan asked.
Ye Xing smiled, "If we don't go after them and finish up, they will come back for sure. The problem is with the Air Orbit Mini Missiles. The first time you use it to attack an enemy, it's very powerful, but it has a weakness. The anti radar and anti missile lock system is very simple. Once they look into the empty shell of the missiles, they can change theirs very easily. So once they come back and attack for the second time, Luo Yue would be at loss. Furthermore, modern warfare isn't about numbers."
"But even if we kick them out of here, they would still realize the situation. It's just a matter of time," Ye Zifeng said.
"That's different," Ye Xing immediately said, "If we defeat them and force them to sign a treaty, even if they were to come back, it would be a long while until then. We mostly need time. After this time passes, the mini missiles will be useless to us because by then we will have better weapons. So this time, we need to hurt them hard, just like last time."
"Also, there's a thing I need to tell everyone. Martial Brother Ye Mo is much more capable than I am, so you don't have to worry about his safety. Even if he didn't come back for a few years, I'm sure he'd be fine," Ye Xing knew it was important to keep everyone's moral up, but he wasn't lying either. Ye Mo was someone who could fly.
…
The entire world's eyes were once again on Luo Yue. This time the US had started war against Luo Yue in the name of peace and justice. So, the largest betting companies in the world had opened a bet again for the war.
The marshal in charge of this army was General Wales. He had been to many wars and his style was similar to Rommel's, since he could win against many with fewer soldiers. Despite Rommel being a German military officer, he was Wales' role model.
At the end of the third month since Ye Mo had left Luo Yue, they had gathered 630k Union Army soldiers, 330k for inland, 100k for the navy, 80k for air forces, and 120k people for inland and navy together. The main weapons were: 1500 tanks, 3000 armored vehicles, 2000 fighter jets, 1900 helicopters, 160 ships and all sorts of interference machines.
With this power, Wales declared war to Luo Yue.
Chapter 671: Tactic
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Perhaps due to the rightful reason the Union had this time, there were many more countries involved in the war. Furthermore, the army was more singular than last time. It was made up of mostly US soldiers.
This was because everyone knew that the US would get all the spoils of the war in the end. Likewise, the US didn't really expect these countries to give real military support.
It was impossible that the US would divide the earned land. They would at most share some of the technological items they got with the condition that these countries would support publicly the US.
Because it was only the US Army attacking, they could only go in through the Malacca Strait and Yi Ta Strait into the Indian Ocean.
This was because Luo Yue had given up on Jason Miambi Island to reduce losses. If Luo Yue hadn't done that, the US fleet would have had to enter from the Malacca Strait.
The land army could only invade from Ethiopia and Kenya. There was no other way.
The first they had tried to invade, the commander initiated an all in attack as soon as he arrived. This resulted in a rapid defeat. This time, Wales surrounded Luo Yue, but he wasn't in a rush to attack Luo Yue.
The head commander was Ye Xing. He looked at the densely packed fleets with a contemptuous look. Ye Xing said coldly, "They want to fight the war on land, but they came too late. If it had been half a year ago, when we only had a few thousand people, as long as they kept part of Luo Yue's troops busy with the navy, it would have been really hard for us to guard Xi Tan Valley. But now that's not plausible. Luo Yue is not a good place for land battle."
"Why isn't this place suitable for land battle? Moreover, they have so many ships." Xu Ping asked.
Ye Xing laughed, "Because Luo Yue now has Ye Xing." He knew that the intel they had received was very different to the actual numbers, but he didn't care.
Everyone knew they were being played by Ye Xing, but they had to recognize his capabilities. Without him, it would have been really hard to protect the country. Also, the defence system Ye Xing had made was extremely powerful. It was indeed hard to land on Luo Yue with a few hundred thousand people. Luo Yue's navy didn't even need to go out to fight, they just had to wait there.
It looked like the enemy was at their doorsteps. It was very dangerous, yet for Luo Yue, the closer to home, the safer they were.
"Commander Ye, didn't we attack when they were at a few 100 miles range last time? Why don't we attack now? Our missile system can send them to heaven," Guo Qi asked in confusion.
"I want to know how they are going to fight. I still have an ultimate weapon, if they aren't worthy of it, I can't be bothered taking it out. Moreover, although we can fight at a long distance, the accuracy would be lower," Ye Xing smiled.
The Union Army didn't make them wait long. On the huge screen in the command center, masses of jets appeared and flew towards Luo Yue like locusts.
"How do they have so many planes? There's like a thousand of them. How come our missile defense system hasn't reacted after these planes appeared?" Xu Ping asked in shock.
Ye Xing said calmly, "That's because they're unmanned pilates. Our defense system can recognize them and it's really simple to stop them too. We only have to activate our defense system completely."
Xu Ping asked worriedly, "Why did they send this many auto-piloted planes?"
Ye Xing said, "Although these auto-piloted planes can also drop bombs, they are simple bombs and can't pose an effective threat to us. Their main purpose is to make us waste our missiles. They know that we have limited missiles, so they came prepared."
Although Xu Yuehua and Xu Ping knew that Ye Xing had made a new type of missiles, it hadn't been tested in real life yet, so no one knew its effects. If it didn't have the intended effect, Luo Yue's missiles would be depleted.
"Then let these auto-piloted planes come. Ignore them!" Xu Ping said with a frown.
Xu Yuehua shook her head, "I think we should still use these mini missiles to blow them apart. We have as much we want. We'll save the large missiles for their naval power and land ar-"
Ye Xing rebuked, "I don't agree with this method. One thing is clear: most of the ships surrounding Luo Yue must be auto-piloted too. No matter how rich they are, they can't take out these many ships. So we'll do as they please. We'll use the imported missiles to attack those auto piloted planes and ships."
"But-" Xu Yuehua and Xu Ping looked at each other. They seemed worried.
Ye Xing smiled, "It seems you don't trust me. Trust me, my mini missiles are much better than those imported large missiles. Commander Guo, those planes are about to fly over Luo Yue. Open the defense missile system and destroy them all. If those ships are in range, then fire at them too."
The planes that flew above Luo Yue seemed to be fearless. They fell into the Indian Ocean one by one, but they didn't stop flying to Luo Yue.
The sky was painted with explosions and black smoke. It was as though night time had come early.
The Union Army seemed to be enraged by this and kept firing missiles from their ships. However, they were all intercepted by Luo Yue's missiles and thrown into the ocean.
…
Aboard the US' largest mothership, Wales looked at the ships sink from the command center but his face was calm. Since Luo Yue was wasting their missiles, he had a contemptuous look on his face.
"They have no real reserves. They want to dominate the entire Indian Ocean with just a strong defense and an interference system. Insolent people! I really don't understand how we lost last time!" Wales shook his head.
In Wales' eyes, a country that started up as a company, dared to stand at the top of the world and challenge the US would be like asking to die. They didn't even have proper military strategist. He had used a tactic and they couldn't even see through it. Instead, they were doing just what he wanted.
Once they used up their missiles, it would be time for them to launch the final attack.
Soon, 1000 planes and a similar number of ships had sunk. Meanwhile, Luo Yue had lost a TV tower.
When Wales noticed this, his expression looked a bit unhappy. Although the goal was to get Luo Yue to waste their missiles, they had used quite a lot. Luo Yue's defence missile system was too strong. It had an almost 98% success rate.
Chapter 672: Saved

"Start the second part of the plan. Have the fleet press forward, send five groups of fighter jets to bomb away at Luo Yue, and have the ground forces start the feint," Wales commanded.
Wales knew that after that attack, Luo Yue wouldn't have much missiles left. No one would guess that he was just discarding those fighter jets for Luo Yue to take them down. Even if people did guess, he would obviously never admit to it.
His approach was to beat Luo Yue in a financial battle of attrition. One hundred dead pilots meant nothing to him. He knew that without sacrifices, it would be hard to take over Luo Yue even after it ran out of missiles. However, the hefty price of one F-22, an elite pilot, and five groups of fighter jets amounting to a total of about one hundred jets - only Wales would dare suffer such hefty losses.
What Wales cared about at the moment was how Luo Yue would be defending itself this time. More missiles or perhaps their own jets?
He didn't have to wait long to get the answer he wanted, and it would indeed seem that Luo Yue had a limited amount of missiles, as they simply sent out the same number of jets.
In terms of equipment and pilot quality, though, Luo Yue was inferior to the Union Army. Luo Yue's jets came from Russia, they had the S-35, while the Union Army used F-22s. The S-35 was far inferior to the F-22.
The F-22 could turn around 180 degrees and had an infrared scanner, and not just simple heat seeking functions.
However, the S-35 being far inferior was under normal circumstances. In the air above Luo Yue, the powerful interference machine made the F-22s' radars useless. The Union's anti-interference machines were useless too.
The S-35s had also been modified by Luo Yue. In the aerial battle above Luo Yue, they didn't even need the interference machine. Every missile they fired hit the Union Army's jets.
The ones that tried to escape were all taken down by the missile system.
Soon, those five groups of jets were completely annihilated, while Luo Yue lost only four jets.
Wales' face was still calm. He had reached his goal. He knew that Luo Yue's missiles had to be about to be used up. If not for Luo Yue's defensive system, he wouldn't have even thought about sending those groups of fighter jets.
At the same time, the Union Army at Xi Tan Valley had also started to attack. However, Xi Tan Valley was easy to defend and hard to attack. The Union Army couldn't provide aerial support either, so despite Luo Yue's troops being at a disadvantage, the Union Army found it hard to breach their defenses.
"General Wales, I think we can launch the full scale attack now." As Advisor Fela saw how Luo Yue's jets had been fighting the Union's jets, he knew that their plan had succeeded.
"Wait a bit longer," Wales waved his hand. As long as they could ensure that Luo Yue had no missiles left, Luo Yue would be like pigs waiting to be slaughtered. They didn't need to rush it.
Wales believed that the reason for Luo Yue's cockiness had to be their strong defensive system and unimaginable interference machine.
But the requirement for that was that they had to have enough missiles to stop Wales' tactics. Hence, he was throwing out money to bring down Luo Yue.
After all, even the auto piloted planes and ships were quite costly even if they used the lowest grade engines.
Moreover, Wales thought that even if Luo Yue figured out their plan, there was nothing they would be able to do about it.
…
Ye Mo suddenly woke up with a cold feeling. He had been so indulged in expanding his meridians that he forgot what time it was and where he was at.
Ye Mo just realized that the glacier he was on had melted to about ten meters in diameter and was going to disappear soon.
He would then no longer have a place to recover. Right when he was about to be finished, he would be losing the place he was staying on. This made him very unhappy.
Nevertheless, Ye Mo wasn't too dejected. He knew that he'd encountered a stroke of fortune that no spirit stones or herbs could compare with. In a few more days, his meridians would be fully recovered.
If he went to the cultivation realm now with his newly repaired meridians, he would be a genius fought over by all sects. He now had amazingly broad and tough meridians before even reaching the foundation establishment state. As long as he had enough resources, his path of cultivation would be very smooth.
In his joyful mood, Ye Mo came to the top of the glacier and howled. He was even more excited than when he flew on his flying sword.
Ye Mo used a cleaning spell and changed into a set of clean clothes. He was planning on finding another glacier to recover on. Once he did, he would be able to re-forge his flying sword, after which he would go back to Luo Ying and Ning Qingxue and hold their wedding.
Two days later, as the glacier below him was about to disappear, Ye Mo didn't find a glacier, but he encountered a ship instead.
Seeing the ship, Ye Mo immediately wanted to go over by running on water, but then he thought about it and eventually didn't. If he really did that, people would surely want to record such a magical thing. He couldn't let anyone see him right now, however. If the person who had targeted him found out that he had survived, that person wouldn't dare show himself, so it would make it inconvenient for Ye Mo to get revenge.
Ye Mo quickly got his big beard masquerade out. After he completely changed his appearance and was about to turn invisible to go onto the ship, the ship seemed to have spotted him and slowed down. After a while, a small jet ski came over.
There were two people on it, one called Ross and another called David. After asking them where he was, Ye Mo found out that they were in the Pacific. He had actually drifted from the North Pole to the Pacific! Luckily this ship was going from Canada to Hong Kong and the two knew Chinese.
He knew that his appearance was very suspicious, so before the two men could ask anything, he gave them 50k USD each and told them that he was an adventurer. He said that he had wanted to circle the Pacific but crashed his ship onto coral and survived thanks to finding a nearby glacier to climb on.
He gave them money so that they would help him find a place to stay in on the ship and also for them to help speak for him.
When Ye Mo was taken aboard the ship, a few policemen came and questioned Ye Mo, but he didn't even need to answer as the two men who saved him got it done for him. He just acted like he didn't know any English at all.
"Mr Mo, we will find a place for you to stay, don't worry. David will take you to dinner first. There's still a long time before we reach Hong Kong, but we hope you have a pleasant journey." The two men were very hospitable to Ye Mo.
Because Ross was getting a room for Ye Mo, Ye Mo gave him another 50k USD and asked him to get him a quiet and beautiful place. If the money wasn't enough, he could come ask him for more.
"It's enough, it's enough!" Ross took the money and sighed - he had really saved a wealthy person this time.
Ye Mo didn't take out more money, because he didn't want the two to suspect why he had so much cash on him either.
When David took Ye Mo to the dining hall, he told Ye Mo to relaxedly eat while they were getting him a room.
Ye Mo was in no rush. After eating wheat for months, he was happy to be getting something nice to eat before going back to cultivate.
He ordered a steak and some vegetables and found a corner to sit in. He thought to himself, 'Once I recover and remake my flying sword, the first thing I investigate should be the guy who ambushed me. No matter who it was, he must die!'
Chapter 673: Surprise
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
The conversation between two Chinese ladies on the next table caught Ye Mo's attention. They were talking about Luo Yue going to war, but according to what Ye Mo knew, the war had ended before he had came out. Why were they still talking about it?
This confused Ye Mo a lot. However, they stopped the topic soon and talked about other things.
Ye Mo got up and walked up to the two ladies in a gentleman manner, "Hello, I'm Mo Ying. Would you two mind if I sat with you?"
The two girls were dazed. They didn't think they were ugly, but they didn't consider themselves pretty either. At most, one could say their faces were well-structured - perhaps the short-haired girl was the sexiest. They didn't expect someone to come and chat with them. Although that big bearded man didn't look that appealing, he seemed quite fit. Moreover, he probably was no simple man if he was able to stay on the cruise and eat at the high-class restaurant.
"Of course not! Take a seat," the long-haired woman had a good-willed smile.
Ye Mo sat down and asked, "What are your names?" It was basic manners, he couldn't skip it.
"I'm Xi Huanshan, and she's my colleague Lin Man," the long-haired woman pointed at the younger girl next to her and introduced themselves.
Even though the younger woman was in her thirties, Lin Man was more curvaceous.
Ye Mo quickly said, "Nice to meet you."
Ye Mo wanted to ask about Luo Yue's war situation right away, but Xi Huanshan thought Ye Mo was trying to get them into bed. The 5-star cruiser was too boring;although the big-bearded man looked average and coarse, he was indeed fit. She wouldn't mind having some fun with him in her room.
So she quickly asked Ye Mo, "Mr Mo, you're Chinese, right? Are you doing business from Canada to Hong Kong or are you going on holiday?"
Then, the long-haired woman got little closer to Ye Mo. She suddenly felt that the big-bearded man wasn't that coarse. At least he smelled nice and didn't make her feel rejected. Some western travellers were also quite well-built, yet their smell was unbearable.
Lin Man knew what Xi Huanshan wanted immediately. Xi Huanshan's marriage hadn't gone well. After she got divorced, she asked her to go on holiday with her. At her age, it was unbearable to not have a man. Moreover, she had already found a man on the cruise, but Xi Huanshan hadn't. Now that a man had come, she supported it.
Ye Mo moved aside awkwardly and immediately said, "No, I like adventures, I'm an adventurer. By the way, I heard you talk about the Luo Yue war, what's going on? Didn't the war between Luo Yue and Indonesia already end? I'm very interested in this."
Hearing this, Xi Huanshan didn't continue moving and looked at Ye Mo in shock, "That was a few months ago. Now it's because Luo Yue violated the Antarctica Treaty, so the Union is bringing Luo Yue to justice. This is the second invasion on Luo Yue. As if you didn't know this already."
Ye Mo was furious. It must have been the US again. Although Ye Mo wasn't worried about Luo Yue since Ye Xing was there, he was still angry at the US' constant provocation.
"Mr Mo, your room is ready. This is the room card. It's a house with a balcony on to the side of the ship. The balcony faces the sun, is this to your liking?" Ross and David came to give him the room card personally.
"I'm very happy, thank you two." Ye Mo took the card. He just wanted a quiet place, it didn't have to be a house. Then, he gave then 20k USD each.
Ross and David were even more shocked. Money was like paper to this man. How did he have so much cash on him?
Xi Huanshan and Lin Man saw this and immediately he was a guy with money to burn. Even Lin Man was beginning to get interested in this man. Although he had a big beard, he was extremely rich. It was even fine if the two women shared him.
But Ye Mo already knew what was going on and didn't want to stay there. Just when he got up, a familiar figure walked into the restaurant.
'Sister Yan?' Ye Mo was shook. How come was she here?
"Hey! Wait-" Ye Mo was about to call her Sister Yan, but he immediately remembered that she was still his aunty. It wouldn't be appropriate to call her sister.
The woman heard Ye Mo's call and turned around. She looked around and saw it was a big-bearded man and two girls. She frowned and left.
Ye Mo saw a cold-faced woman, but she didn't look like Sister Yan. However, he immediately realized that she probably had disguised herself. He hadn't expected to meet her here. Thinking about this, Ye Mo wanted to chase up.
"Wait!" Ye Mo tried to leave, but Lin Man grabbed him. Ye Mo was desperate and pushed her hand away. His actions were a little vulgar.
Lin Man was dazed and said at once, "How can you be so rude?"
"Sorry, I just saw someone I knew," Ye Mo knew he was wrong and apologized. He tried again to leave.
But Lin Man sneered and didn't let him, "You saw someone you knew?! You just wanted to flirt with that woman. You were just talking to Huanshan, and now you're going to talk to another woman. Aren't you a bit too shameless?"
Ye Mo opened his mouth surprised. He thought, 'Since when was I flirting with Huanshan? I was just asking a question.'
"What's wrong, Ms Lin Man?" A man in his 30' came up with a bag in his hand. Who would carry a bag around with him all the time on the ship?
Out of curiosity, Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense. It was a cloth with three milky white stones wrapped in it. Ye Mo was in shock. These were spirit stones!
Ye Mo's heart started to skip rapidly. He even cast Sister Yan aside and started thinking about how to get these stones.
It was quite easy for Ye Mo to get them, but he also wanted to know where they came from. He could always steal them, but he would buy it if it was an acceptable price.
Lin Man pointed at Ye Mo and said, "Brother Kui, this guy was talking to Huanshan and, and- You know what I mean! But he saw this other girl and immediately cast Sister Huanshan aside. He's too shameless. I just said something and he was very vulgar to me."
Lin Man still decided to not let the big-bearded man go because he was very rich.
Chapter 674: Strange Sister Yan
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Many people had come watching the scene.
"When did we ever-" Ye Mo asked speechlessly.
Before he said anything else, Lin Man said with red eyes, "You dare ask when?! You already don't want to take responsibility of what you did last night!"
After her statement, people around them started discussing amongst themselves.
Ye Mo was speechless. He had still been on the glacier the previous night. What had he done?
"Hello, I'm Meng Kui, a business manager of the US' Sika Communications Company," Meng Kui reached out his hand and smiled.
He didn't know who Ye Mo was. Hence,although Lin Man was his partner on the cruise, if Ye Mo was powerful, he wasn't going to offend Ye Mo for a woman.
So he needed to ask about Ye Mo's origin to see if he could take on him.
Sika Communications? Ye Mo felt this name was very familiar. It took him just a moment to remember. The company belonged to the Song family.
"I'm Mo Ying, I like travelling the world and collecting rare stones. If it's a stone I like, I will buy it no matter the price," Ye Mo said testing Meng Kui's reaction.
Hearing this, Meng Kui seemed happy. Ye Mo immediately knew that Meng Kui didn't know the price of spirit stones and didn't even know what he had.
"I see, Mr Mo likes rare stones. I like them too," Meng Kui said at once.
Ye Mo nodded, "Yes, I have spent almost all my fortune buying rare stones. Yet, there's rarely a few I like."
Meng Kui was getting more desperate. He knew his stones were valuable but he wasn't sure how valuable. He was a careful person and didn't dare let other people look into it for him. His stones had an eerie origin and if other people knew about it, he might lose his life.
"Brother Mo, I'm also interested in rare stones. Would you be interested in discussing about ut with me?" Meng KUi asked.
Of course, Ye Mo was interested.
Ye Mo also smiled, "Brother Meng, we seem to share the same liking. I love discussing rare stones with people like you. My room is on the side of the ship, please."
Seeing Ye Mo and Meng Kui leave together, Lin Man's expression was very bad. The people around them also left. At this moment, the cold-faced woman came out of somewhere and sneered. She was looking at where Ye Mo had been a few second ago.
"There are no good men in this world. I was willing to take initiative, but apparently they prefer each other more than women." Lin Man was unsatisfied.
Xi Huanshan looked at Ye Mo's back disappointedly and said after a while, "That Meng Kui is no good man, but the big- bearded man was actually a good person."
"Sure, very good. You were practically throwing yourself to him and he was playing dumb. Good my ass." Lin Man had even been willing to go with the big-bearded man and Huanshan, but he actually preferred men.
Lin Man said, "I won't let Meng Kui lay on my bed again, no matter how rich he is. I'm not a woman who needs a man to survive."
"To be honest, I get the feeling that the bearded man wasn't trying to flirt with us," Xi Huanshan felt that the he had approached them so he could ask about the Luo Yue war.
….
Even Meng Kui had to admire Ye Mo's room. He could tell that this man was wealthy just by looking at his room. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
Ye Mo patiently talked to Meng Kui for about ten minutes. Just when he was about to bring up the spirit stones himself, Meng Kui took them out of his bag.
Finally, Ye Mo thought.
"Brother Mo, have you seen this sort of stone before?" Meng Kui showed them to Ye Mo.
….
Half an hour later, Meng Kui was carrying a big bag while walking away from Ye Mo's room. He was thinking about how wealthy that man was.
The stones he had picked up had been actually bought for 800k USD! Mo Ying didn't even bargain. What he didn't understand was why Mr Mo had that much cash in his room.
Also, there was another thing he didn't understand: why did he thoughtlessly tell that bearded man how he had gotten the stones? Although he regretted it, it was too late.
Ye Mo played with the stones for a long while before putting them away. He hadn't expected to be able to get three spirit stones for 800k USD. The only pity was that Meng Kui had found them randomly.
A month ago, Meng Kui was travelling in Canada. One night at a tourist spot, he saw two people fighting. He hid and didn't dare move. When he came out, they were both dead. He found that one of them had a wooden box which contained the stones.
Meng Kui knew they weren't ordinary stones. After he got them, he wanted to go to Hong Kong at once and sell them. He had managed to sell them before he even reached Hong Kong. He knew that the stones were worth more than 800K, but he was very happy that he could sell them for this price. It made him uneasy to carry them with him constantly.
Ye Mo shook his head. He then started thinking about Sister Yan. He quickly scanned out his spirit sense as soon as he walked out of the room.
Although his meridians hadn't completely recovered, his spirit sense could reach 1500 meters now. It was a lot more compared to the 1200 meters he could reach before.
Ye Mo soon found Sister Yan in a low-quality room. Ye Mo realized something was off. He had given her a lot of money, how could she be staying in a low-quality room?
Ye Mo went to her door and knocked.
Yin Qingyan heard this and she was instantly dazed. She didn't know anyone on the ship. Who could knocking on her door?
But her powers had finally recovered, so she wasn't afraid. When she saw it was the big-bearded man, her expression changed drastically, "Who are you? I don't know you, go away!"
She was about to close the door.
Ye Mo knew that Sister Yan wouldn't recognize him and there were people walking down the corridor. Hence, he pushed her aside, entered the room and closed the door.
Seeing this, Ying Qingyan was about to attack Ye Mo but he quickly said, "Sister Yan, it's me! I'm Ye Mo!" Although she was his aunty, it was too awkward to call her that, so Ye Mo stuck to Sister Yan.
"Do you know me?" Ying Qingyan's expression changed and she stopped the attack. "Are you Ye Mo?"
Ye Mo took off the mask and smiled, "I really am Ye Mo."
"Huh!" She saw that the man was actually Ye Mo. But her joy only lasted a moment before she pushed Ye Mo, "Get out! Piss off!"
She had completely changed her attitude, and Ye Mo thought, 'What is this?' He soon noticed something wrong. Sister Yan's neck had turned pink.
"Sister Yan," he called her. When he saw her cry, he didn't know what to do. Hr didn't know if he should leave or not. He thought she would be very happy to see him.
After a long time, she calmed down and suddenly said, "Did you see the diary I gave you?"
"Yes, I saw it." Ye Mo wanted to say he had only read the cover, but Sister Yan's neck turned even redder and then she started crying.
Chapter 675: Let It Go
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Ying Qinyang was very embarrassed. She didn't plan on seeing Ye Mo again after giving him her diary, because it was too embarrassing. It was because the last part of her diary was written the day she saw Ye Mo. The reason why she gave Ye Mo that letter was because she wanted to cut all strings which tied her to anyone after she was done with her own things. She wouldn't go to Luo Yue nor see Ye Mo.
Even if she was to visit them, she wouldn't do it in front of Ye Mo. She would go secretly so that it wouldn't be that awkward.
But the world was small and a year after separating with Ye Mo, she ended up on the same boat as Ye Mo.
Ye Mo looked helplessly at Sister Yan and didn't know what to do. She was his aunty, so she should be happy to see him, and Ye Mo knew that she genuinely meant well for him, so why was she acting like that?
Ying Qinyang sniffed for a long time and saw that Ye Mo was still motionless. She suddenly got up and yelled at Ye Mo, "Look at what you're doing, you're from a famed family, yet you get along with random women on the cruise and go to bed with them! On top of that, you get along with guys as well? I'm too disappointed in you."
Ye Mo never read the last part of the diary nor had he seen the letter hidden there, so he didn't know what Sister Yan was thinking. He immediately knew that she had misunderstood him, though.
"Sister Yan, it's not what you think, let me explain-"
Before Ye Mo could finish, Ying Qinyang started pushing Ye Mo out, "Go out, I don't want to see you."
Ye Mo knew that if he wanted to stay, Ying Qinyang wouldn't be able to push him out, but she was his aunty, so he could only listen to her.
"Sister Yan, I'm in the seaside room number C326," Ye Mo said and was pushed out.
Seeing people coming over from a distance, Ye Mo sighed and quickly went back to his room. He didn't want to be recognized.
Ying Qinyang touched her face and felt more and more embarrassed.
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have written the last part of the letter. I'm an aunty!" Ying Qinyang felt her face burning.
…
Ye Mo went back to his room and thought about the diary and Sister Yan's strange behaviour. He had never read it, because he could at any time, so there was no hurry. It was just a record of Sister Yan's life.
What was more important to Ye Mo was not reading the diary but repairing his meridians. He had just gotten three spirit stones, so even if Sister Yan had misunderstood him, he didn't mind. He was still rather happy.
Ye Mo closed the door and hung up the 'Do not disturb' sign as he started to repair his meridians.
…
A day passed by quickly, and Ying Qinyang started getting worried. The awkwardness would just be temporary, but since Ye Mo knew already, he might as well face it. Yet a day had passed and Ye Mo still didn't come look for her, was he really angry?
Since Ying Qinyang already felt awkward about that, it was impossible for her to go look for Ye Mo. She was also still his aunty.
The second day passed, yet there was still no news of Ye Mo. Ying Qinyang even went to the restaurant many times but didn't see Ye Mo. She even wanted to ask the woman next to Lin Man, but thinking about how that ugly woman had slept with Ye Mo, she felt too uncomfortable to do that.
On the third day, she finally couldn't take it and went over to Ye Mo's room.
The 'Do not disturb' sign made her very angry.
Meanwhile, Ye Mo was very happy. He had just completely recovered his meridians and gone from stage five middle stage to stage five tertiary stage. Although he had used up that spirit stone from the auction, he was still very happy, because with his current progress, he would definitely be able to reach stage six with the help of his three newly acquired spirit stones.
But spirit stones were rare, so he didn't want to use them yet. He would try to have his breakthrough paying the smallest price possible.
After taking a shower, Ye Mo was about to go visit Sister Yan and perhaps eat with her before starting to repair his flying sword when suddenly, someone knocked on his door.
Ye Mo's spirit sense immediately picked up on an angry and worried Sister Yan. She had taken off her masquerade and looked just like the young girl on the picture in her diary.
If he didn't know that she was more than ten years older than him, he would've thought this pretty girl was a university student.
At this moment, Ye Mo remembered the image of Sister Yan when she fell over in the bathroom. Her perfect curves had made him lose his mind a bit.
Knock knock-
Ye Mo didn't dare keep thinking about it and quickly opened the door.
The moment Ying Qinyang saw Ye Mo, her worried face disappeared and turned into a cool one, but she had this sulking look to her that made her face not seem all that cold.
Bang- Ying Qinyang slammed the door shut and said to Ye Mo in anger, "Why haven't you gone out for a few days? Why don't you just bore yourself to death then!"
Ye Mo opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Ying Qinyang came at him again, "What's wrong with you, how can you even want a woman like that? Also, I criticize you yet you don't come to see me for a few days - what's up with that?!"
Ye Mo looked at Sister Yan in a daze and thought that she seemed quite different compared to his impression of her.
Seeing that Ye Mo didn't talk, Ying Qinyang blushed, walked up to Ye Mo and suddenly hugged him.
A faint aroma spread to Ye Mo's nose, and he reflexively inhaled it a bit. At the same time, the softness in front of her chest pressed hard against Ye Mo's chest, making him feel hot.
Hot energy arose in Ye Mo's stomach. Ye Mo was no noob anymore, having had multiple experiences. He immediately knew what was going on and felt that it wasn't right. Sister Yan was his aunty, he shouldn't have such a reaction.
"Aunty-" Ye Mo subconsciously wanted to push her away.
Ying Qinyang hugged Ye Mo even tighter and said, "You've already read my diary and letter, are you still going to call me aunty?"
Suddenly, her voice grew louder, "Also, don't go around finding those sort of women again or just you wait and see how I'll punish you! What about Ning Qingxue, isn't she your wife?"
Then, Ying Qinyang suddenly let go off Ye Mo and pinched his ear, "Is your wife uglier than those two, hmm? I'm warning you, I will be by your side from now on, so don't even think about finding those women."
Ye Mo's face blushed, and he felt this aunty was too bold.
"What are you getting embarrassed about? Even if I like you, so what? I'm not your real aunty anyway." Ying Qinyang looked at Ye Mo's embarrassed state and suddenly felt happy. It was better to let go of her inhibitions, and there was no need to stay awkward.
"What, Sister Yan, you're not my real aunty?!" Ye Mo looked at her in shock.
"Indeed, apparently I was found by my master. I originally thought that my sister wasn't master's real daughter, but it turned out that I wasn't." Ying Qinyang suddenly stopped there and looked at Ye Mo worriedly, "You didn't know? Did you not read the diary?"
Ye Mo smiled bitterly and said, "I wasn't able to finish it. I never found the time to finish reading…"
Ying Qinyang's face suddenly burst red as she pushed Ye Mo away and said in a loud voice, "Give me the diary now, quick!"
