Free Web NovelChapter 347: Chapter 347: Beauty to the Rescue _1
Ye Ming had long been prepared to meet death, having fully accepted the fact that mortals cannot contend with the heavens.
But he didn’t regret it, he only felt a tinge of reluctance.
Back home, Xu Lele was waiting for him, perhaps he’d never see her again in this lifetime. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Better this way, dying quietly in such a place, unseen by them, thus avoiding many heart-wrenching moments.
Just as he convinced himself to accept death, the soft body against him caused him surprise.
Looking closely, the person who had thrown herself into his arms was none other than Lin Mengdie.
"Why is it you?" Ye Ming frowned, trying to push her away.
However, Lin Mengdie was resolute, her arms tightly wrapped around Ye Ming’s neck, not allowing him to push her away.
Lin Mengdie looked at him with a smile and said, "You jerk, leaving me in the middle of nowhere, not caring whether I live or die!"
"But I cannot disregard you!"
"Why would you do this?" Ye Ming asked, not understanding.
Lin Mengdie chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I think it’s worth it."
"You’ve saved me so many times, I have to repay you, I really don’t like owing people anything!"
Ye Ming was deeply touched and was about to say something when suddenly, he felt a soft touch on his lips.
Lin Mengdie leaned in proactively and pressed her lips against Ye Ming’s face.
Before he could even savor the moment, thunder descended from the sky.
With a boom, the lightning struck Lin Mengdie and Ye Ming with unerring accuracy.
Lin Mengdie’s body gradually slumped, her eyes slowly closing, yet her face still bore a smile.
Ye Ming hugged her tightly, both of them standing unwavering between heaven and earth.
Qin Yao and the others watched with wide eyes, swallowing sounds could be heard from all around.
"Incredible, four thunder tribulations, the heavens are truly ruthless!"
"At such a critical moment, this woman actually came to rescue him without regard for her own life, it’s really touching."
Hearing everyone’s comments, Qin Yao cursed loudly, "What are you concerned about at a time like this? Aren’t you going to check Ye Ming’s body? If he’s still usable, use the Human Puppet Spell and refine him!"
"Even though he’s been injured by the thunder tribulation, in my opinion, his body should still be functional. The strongest Human Puppet in the world will ultimately be mine!"
Feverish excitement filled Qin Yao’s face as he was about to make his move on Ye Ming.
But just then, an aged figure stood in front of Ye Ming.
Zhang Lingfeng glared fiercely at Qin Yao and the others, berating them, "Evil disciples, truly evil disciples, how could my Wanhua Valley produce someone like you? I was blind to have let you become the Wanhua Valley Master!"
"Over these years, you’ve completely ruined the reputation of our Wanhua Valley!"
"Get lost immediately, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"
After that, Zhang Lingfeng approached Ye Ming.
Although they had only recently met, they had shared adversity, and Zhang Lingfeng had grown quite fond of Ye Ming, now naturally protecting him unconditionally.
As he got closer, he was astonished to find that Ye Ming was still with his eyes open, not dead.
Zhang Lingfeng was overjoyed, hurriedly pulled an Elixir from his pocket, stuffed it into Ye Ming’s mouth, then placed a hand on Ye Ming’s body, lending his scant True Qi to Ye Ming to help him digest the Elixir.
Soon, Ye Ming’s body had recovered, and the damaged meridians within were also successfully healed.
Ye Ming heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Zhang Lingfeng.
He carefully placed Lin Mengdie to one side, and then sat down with his legs crossed on the ground, to begin his recovery.
His heart was filled with guilt as he wanted to recover as quickly as possible to help Lin Mengdie treat her injuries.
But he knew all too well how powerful the thunder tribulation was. Lin Mengdie had been subjected to the thunder tribulation’s power, and her meridians were already broken. It would be very difficult for her to survive, yet Ye Ming still wanted to try.
After a simple recovery, he picked up Lin Mengdie’s body and began to check her pulse.
The next second, his expression turned to one of shock.
He felt Lin Mengdie’s faint pulse.
...
"Zhang Lingfeng, you get out of my way this instant," said Qin Yao angrily as he saw Zhang Lingfeng standing in front of Ye Ming. "Don’t obstruct my grand plan. Is it appropriate for you to side with an outsider now?"
"Considering that you are our ancestral master, I don’t want to kill you, but if you remain stubborn, don’t blame me for not recognizing our ties!"
He was not afraid of the ancestral master at all.
Zhang Lingfeng had neglected his own cultivation due to his obsession with alchemy, and he was now no match for Qin Yao and the others, so there was nothing to fear.
Shaking with anger, Zhang Lingfeng pointed at Qin Yao’s nose and cursed, "You little bastard, are you trying to betray and murder your own master?"
Qin Yao chuckled softly. "Today, I shall be the betrayer and the killer, what can you possibly do to me?"
"Enough, I do not want to waste time on you. The great work of the Human Puppet awaits me!"
"Reset the formation. While Ye Ming hasn’t fully recovered yet, directly process him into a Human Puppet!"
Among the elders, some had differing opinions.
Two of the elders had already stepped back, maintaining a distance from Qin Yao. No matter what, Zhang Lingfeng was their ancestral master, and they felt uneasy about actually making a move against him.
However, two other elders remained undyingly loyal to Qin Yao, and upon receiving his orders, they began to reset the formation, simultaneously asking, "Valley Master, that old man still stands in front of Ye Ming, making it somewhat inconvenient!"
Qin Yao snorted coldly. "He’s just an old death. Watch me!"
After speaking, Qin Yao leaped forward, raising his fist to strike at Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng, stunned by the extremity of his apprentice’s actions, turned pale with anger.
Qin Yao’s punch was full-throttle, without a trace of mercy, intending to kill Zhang Lingfeng outright. If he were to be struck, Zhang Lingfeng’s chances of survival were slim.
"Once I kill you, there won’t be an ancestral master anymore! And no one will dare to lecture me again!"
"Your existence is my biggest obstacle, so, die!" Qin Yao coldly declared.
As his body drew closer, just about to touch Zhang Lingfeng, a sense of danger suddenly sprung in his heart.
"What?"
Before he could react, a Sword Qi suddenly cut through the air in front of him, chopping off his wrist on the spot.
The severe pain made him stagger backwards, yelling in agony.
"Ye Ming, was that your doing?" Qin Yao glared furiously at Ye Ming and shouted accusingly.
Ye Ming held Lin Mengdie with one arm, his other hand still suspended in mid-air, for it was he who had released the Sword Qi.
Enraged, Qin Yao cursed, "Damn it, do you think my title as Wanhua Valley Master is just for show? Summon my men!"
