Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Take Her Away from Hidden Cloud Village

"I thought that after cultivating the new Cultivation Technique, I could go up the mountain with you and help you deal with Lai Zhongyao!"

Yun Chan pouted, her face full of disappointment.

"With your current cultivation, you wouldn’t last more than two moves against Lai Zhongyao, so it’s better not to take the risk."

Yang Cheng smiled, reaching out to brush her nose.

"I will definitely train hard and one day defeat that old guy."

Yun Chan gathered strength in her palm, striking out once more, not much different from before.

Watching her diligently train, Yang Cheng also began to operate his Cultivation Technique, practicing the Ninefold Heaven-Burning Fist.

He hadn’t told Yun Chan that he planned to go up the mountain for a life-and-death battle with Lai Zhongyao, afraid that if he did, she wouldn’t allow him to go.

The Ninefold Heaven-Burning Fist was immensely powerful but demanded much from the cultivator; each punch felt like flames scalding his palm.

Most people training in the Ninefold Heaven-Burning Fist would instinctively become fearful and fail to successfully condense the flames, but Yang Cheng was fearless, focusing all his True Qi into his palm.

Before long, he mastered the second move of the Ninefold Heaven-Burning Fist, with a flickering flame on his fist.

Yun Chan next to him felt a wave of heat, instinctively retreating a few steps, looking at his hand in surprise.

Yang Cheng swung his fist forcefully, the flame following the fist wind, crashing fiercely onto the wooden fence beside the courtyard.

Boom——!!

With a loud bang, the wooden fence instantly shattered into splinters, the surrounding wood caught fire, and a huge pit appeared on the ground.

"Oh my gosh, your punches are too powerful!"

Yun Chan exclaimed, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration...

"Don’t just stand there, put out the fire quickly!"

Wen Ying shouted, then rushed to the kitchen to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

Yang Cheng, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his nose and quickly fetched a large bucket of water to put out the fire.

"Little Divine Doctor, you’d better not train at home; this courtyard can’t withstand your antics."

Wen Ying said helplessly.

The good courtyard had a big pit blown open, and many villagers, hearing the commotion, curiously poked their heads out to watch the excitement.

Yang Cheng felt very embarrassed, hurriedly went nearby to bring back some wood, repaired the fence, and filled the big pit on the ground.

The two did not dare to continue training in the courtyard and went to the open space at the village entrance.

Yun Chan practiced Furong Palm many times, but it could only stir up dust on the ground, having no lethal power at all. She sat dejectedly under a big tree nearby.

But the power of Yang Cheng’s Ninefold Heaven-Burning Fist grew greater, with even a light punch able to snap a tree thicker than his waist in half, swiftly igniting into flames.

Moreover, the flames grew fiercer, and water couldn’t extinguish them; only True Qi could disperse them.

Yang Cheng looked at his palm with a satisfied smile. Only by reaching this level of cultivation could he have the strength to fight Lai Zhongyao.

Sweating all over, he sat down beside Yun Chan, and as he looked at the surrounding scenery, it was as if all his worries vanished in an instant.

The two leaned against the tree trunk, looking up at the sky, when Yun Chan suddenly asked, "Yang Cheng, is it really bustling over the mountain? I heard from Uncle Pan that the city is particularly nice, with skyscrapers, lots of cars on the roads, and a variety of delicious food."

"The city is indeed bustling, but in the vast Hua Xia, Luochuan is just a small city."

Yang Cheng held her shoulder, patiently describing the beautiful landscapes of the outside cities.

Yun Chan listened intently, a sense of melancholy rising in her heart, and she sighed, "It’s a pity that as the village chief of Hidden Cloud Village, I can never leave here in my life to see the outside world."

"Why can’t you leave? Is it because of the Barrier?"

Yang Cheng asked curiously.

Yun Chan replied earnestly, "Master said that once you’ve seen the outside world, you’ll have ambition, and one day you might want to escape from Hidden Cloud Village. I manage the Purifying Spirit Spring, and if I leave, it will cause huge losses to Hidden Cloud Village."

"And if the villagers know I left, who will trust me anymore? They might force me to step down and cultivate another village chief."

"Then don’t be the village chief. If you were just a villager, I could take you away; wouldn’t that be alright without anyone questioning?"

Yang Cheng’s heart moved slightly. If Yun Chan was willing to leave, he would without hesitation take her away.

Yun Chan shook her head, somewhat sadly saying, "I can’t; if I’m not the village chief, the only path left is death."

"These villagers are ordinary people; who could stop you if you want to leave?"

"You don’t understand; the Cultivation Technique I practice can hide my aura, but it’s also a restraint on my actions. If I leave Hidden Cloud Village for too long, my body will grow older and weaker, and maybe in just one or two years, I will become an old lady."

Yun Chan said with a bitter smile. Before Yang Cheng appeared, she had never had the thought of leaving; her lifelong wish was to protect Hidden Cloud Village.

But now she harbored selfish desires, wanting to leave with Yang Cheng and see the outside world.

Seeing her forlorn expression, Yang Cheng’s heart ached, and he whispered in her ear, "If you only leave for a day or a night, would it affect your body?"

"It wouldn’t, but I’m the village chief; once I leave, I would be noticed."

"That’s simple."

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, glanced at the time, "It’s three in the afternoon now. We’ll tell Aunt Wen we’re going out to gather herbs, then I’ll drive you away. No one will look for us in the evening. We just have to return before noon tomorrow."

"Sounds feasible, but it’s all dark at night; I wouldn’t see the scenery outside clearly. Besides, this place is too far from the county town; you’ll have to drive for a long time."

Yun Chan had concerns, mostly about the anxiety of leaving.

She had never left Hidden Cloud Village, and the words ’leaving’ felt like an unforgivable crime to her.

"Don’t worry, I drive fast. There’s plenty to eat, drink, and play in Luochuan City at night—I can take you to experience it."

"Yun Chan, living in one place all your life is too boring. You said you wanted to spend this time with me, so listen to me; I guarantee we won’t be discovered."

Yang Cheng held her small hand, patiently persuading her.

After a few seconds of silence, Yun Chan finally nodded, "Okay."

Her lips curled into a smile like the warm sun of spring, melting Yang Cheng’s heart.

He cupped the back of her head and leaned down to kiss her. Their lips and teeth entangled as if sky and earth were ignited; instantly, they rolled together.

However, this was in broad daylight, at a village entrance where anyone could come, so they dared not be too conspicuous and soon got up and left after a moment of closeness.
