Chapter 22: No Man Was Good
Chapter 22: No Man Was Good
"Senior Sister, you still don't trust me."
"How about this? I'll give her a Spirit Scattering Pill every month to ensure that she won't be a problem. That way, you can rest assured."
Ye Xuan sighed helplessly.
However, he was very touched by Xia Yuning's concern for him, so he was not impatient.
He still had to get past Xia Yuning. Otherwise, if Gu Qingyao found out about this, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
Gu Qingyao seemed to treat him very well, but she was also a Golden Core elder who had lived for more than a hundred years. She might be even more unyielding towards demonic cultivators. Ye Xuan did not dare to take the risk.
"Spirit Scattering Pill?"
"Where did you get so many pills?"
Xia Yuning frowned and asked.
Although the Spirit Scattering Pill was very easy to refine, this thing was harmful and could be considered a kind of poison. Very few alchemists would refine such a pill.
She found it strange that Ye Xuan had a Spirit Scattering Pill. Now, Ye Xuan said that he wanted to give one to the demonic cultivator every month. Did he have so many Spirit Scattering Pills?
Also, she had not got to the bottom of the Beauty Retaining Pills previously. And now, there were so many Spirit Scattering Pills. Could Ye Xuan really be an alchemist??
How was this possible!
"I told you, I'm a Grade-1 alchemist."
In order to prove his innocence, Ye Xuan took out the Grade-1 magic artifact, the Amethyst Furnace, which was rewarded by the system.
Boom!
A huge purple furnace that was as tall as a person suddenly appeared and smashed into the ground.
The four legs of the Amethyst Furnace directly dried up the limestone slabs in the courtyard and ruthlessly embedded them into the soil.
"A Grade-1 alchemy furnace magic artifact!!"
Xia Yuning's eyes widened when she saw the alchemy furnace.
Grade-1 magic artifacts were extremely rare. Moreover, it was an alchemy furnace which was even rarer.
"Ye Xuan, where did this come from??"
"To be honest, I obtained this from an underground ruin."
"I also got my alchemy skills from inheriting part of the legacy."
Ye Xuan spouted nonsense in all seriousness.
After all, he could not explain the origins of many things. Xia Yuning and Gu Qingyao might not get to the bottom of it, but Ye Xuan had to give them an explanation and not let them worry.
There was also the matter of his rapid increase in cultivation.
If he did not give a reasonable explanation, Gu Qingyao would probably think that he was secretly using women to cultivate demonic skills. If that happened, there would be a huge misunderstanding.
Using the matter of the ruins to cover it up, although it was still full of loopholes, as long as they did not pursue the matter, it would be very reasonable.
…
"I see…"
Seeing Ye Xuan take out the evidence, Xia Yuning finally understood everything.
Furthermore, Xia Yuning did not believe in Ye Xuan's cultivation in the mortal world. She guessed that it was very likely that Ye Xuan had also obtained an opportunity in the ruins.
As for what kind of opportunity it was, she would not ask in detail.
As long as Ye Xuan was safe and did not fall into the demonic path, she could rest assured.
"In that case, this matter ends here."
"I still have more than a month before the training ends. During this period of time, I will stay in the Ye Family, lest any accidents happen."
Xia Yuning spoke indifferently and did not continue this topic.
Since Ye Xuan had said so, it was obvious that he was really confident in subduing the demonic cultivator.
However, to be safe and to give her Master an explanation, she would still protect Ye Xuan in the Ye Family lest he fail.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
"There are some medicinal pills here. Please accept them, Senior Sister."
Ye Xuan was also relieved. Then, he hurriedly took out jade bottles and placed them in front of Xia Yuning.
Although there were all only Grade-1 Beauty Retaining Pills, Spirit Concentration Pills, Spirit Gathering Pills, and other pills, there were enough of them.
Since he hardly needed to cultivate, and since his concubines were pregnant, he had a lot of time to refine pills every day.
The reason why he gave so many medicinal pills to Xia Yuning was partly to thank her, and partly to increase her favorability toward him.
After spending so much time together, Xia Yuning's favorability toward him had already reached 61. If he worked harder and increased her favorability toward him to 70, they would be boyfriend and girlfriend.
In the end, he would make another effort to increase her favorability toward him to 80. Then, he could start making babies.
However, if he wanted to exceed 70, he had to make Xia Yuning fall in love with him.
Xia Yuning was infatuated with the Sword Dao, so this mission was more difficult. However, Ye Xuan would not give up. Sooner or later, there would be a chance.
…
Xia Yuning casually opened a jade bottle and saw the densely packed medicinal pills inside. She could not help but laugh, "You…"
However, this time, she did not refuse. Instead, she accepted it directly.
Ye Xuan also saw that Xia Yuning's favorability towards him had increased by two points.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"Senior Sister, cultivate well~"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was also delighted in his heart and hurriedly bade farewell and left.

After leaving Xia Yuning's courtyard, Ye Xuan wanted to find Liu Ruyan.
However, he met the old butler, Kong Qiu, along the way.
"Family Head, I've finally found you!"
When Kong Qiu saw Ye Xuan, he hurriedly went forward and bowed.
"What's the matter?"
"Why are you so flustered?"
Ye Xuan asked lightly.
"Family Head, we've found Madam Yixuan."
Kong Qiu said hurriedly.
"Oh?"
"Is she alright?"
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked quickly.
He was very good to his concubines, but he had only been with Yixuan for a short period of time. In addition, Liu Ruyan's matter was a headache, so he almost forgot about it.
"She's fine but just a little weak. She has already been sent to the harem to recuperate," Kong Qiu reported respectfully.
"Go to the storeroom and get some medicinal pills. Let her recuperate well. Don't neglect her."
Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly.
"Yes!"
Kong Qiu responded and left.
…
Since Liu Ruyan had replaced Yixuan, Yixuan definitely had to change rooms. If Yixuan found out that Liu Ruyan had knocked her out, she would definitely be furious.
At the thought of this, Ye Xuan also felt a slight headache.
"I have to get Liu Ruyan pregnant as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll suffer a huge loss…"
Ye Xuan muttered and walked towards Liu Ruyan's courtyard.
Due to the sudden intrusion of the law enforcement team yesterday, all the other concubines in the courtyard had moved to the next room. Liu Ruyan was the only one left, which saved a lot of trouble.
When Ye Xuan entered the courtyard, he saw Liu Ruyan squatting by the pond in boredom, staring at the fish in the pond in a daze.
Seeing Ye Xuan come in, Liu Ruyan just glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.
"How is it? The environment here is not bad, right?"
Ye Xuan came behind Liu Ruyan and squatted down. He put his hand on her shoulder and asked with a smile.
"The environment is good, but it's not good when I see you."
Liu Ruyan turned her head away unhappily.
"Just now, my Senior Sister found me and told me that demonic cultivators are unforgivable. She will find a time to kill you." Ye Xuan smiled gently and said indifferently.
"What!!"
"She wants to kill me!!"
"You betrayed me?!"
When Liu Ruyan heard this, she instantly exploded. Extreme fear surged in her heart, making her scalp tingle.
She took a few steps back and looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief.
She was confident that she had disguised herself well and it was impossible for her to be discovered. The only possibility was that Ye Xuan had betrayed her!
As expected!
No man was good!
Ye Xuan, this bastard!
He actually refused to recognize her after putting on his pants!
Bastard!
Liu Ruyan glared at Ye Xuan as if she wanted to skin him alive.
