The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1596 - 1597: Vixen
Previously on The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood...
"What? Have you already surpassed a thousand years of age?"
Ling Shan noticed Ye Mo’s silence and couldn’t help but say, "Don’t worry, even if you’re over a thousand years old, it’s fine. My father has a privilege that I can’t use, so I’ll just give it to you."
Ye Mo had saved them, father and daughter, and his calmness in the face of danger left a good impression on Ling Shan.
"No, I’m not that old."
Ye Mo laughed, looking into the distance, almost at Immortal Spirit City. Ling Yue Group turned around and said to Ye Mo, "Ye Mo, you’ve saved us, father and daughter, so stay at our mansion. We’ll host you for a while until you enter the Immortal Martial Academy. After that, I won’t be able to help much."
After much contemplation, Ye Mo realized he didn’t know anyone in Immortal Spirit City and wasn’t familiar with the place. Having the City Lord as a support meant he wouldn’t encounter much trouble during his month in Immortal Spirit City.
"Then I’ll accept your offer!"
Ye Mo bowed slightly and gladly accepted.
The City Lord’s mansion in Immortal Spirit City was grand, with large open gates. The housekeeper was stationed at the entrance and, upon seeing the three return, immediately shouted, "The City Lord has returned, the City Lord has returned."
With the shout, a beautiful woman hurriedly came out, seeing her husband and daughter both safe, she excitedly said, "Thank the gods for blessing, Yue Group has finally saved Shan’er."
"Mother!"
Ling Shan, though cold in nature, shed all her pretense in front of her mother, approaching the beautiful woman, and said, "Mother, you don’t need to worry about us. Father’s strength is undeniable. How could anything have happened to me?"
"I told you not to go out, but you wouldn’t listen. Just because you have the Dark Immortal Body, don’t think no one can harm you."
Madam Ling rebuked.
"Alright, let’s all go inside. Let’s not let Ye Mo see us as a joke."
Ling Yue Group said.
"Ye Mo?"
Madam Ling looked at Ye Mo, curiously asking, "Who is this?"
"Mother, let me introduce you. His name is Ye Mo, a genius ascended from the secular world. Without him, we might not have made it back this time."
Ling Shan began introducing Ye Mo to Madam Ling.
"Madam Ling, hello!"
Ye Mo greeted the beautiful woman.
Madam Ling showed a subtle expression no one noticed before smiling and saying, "Come in, since Shan’er is safe today, we must celebrate."
Entering the City Lord’s mansion, Ye Mo couldn’t help but marvel at its vastness; even Tianwu Kingdom’s palace paled in comparison.
Ling Shan arranged a room for Ye Mo. He didn’t go out; he joined the Ling Family for dinner, but it wasn’t an ordinary meal. The dishes were all infused with medicinal herbs beneficial to a Martial Artist’s cultivation, not only delicious but also helping to unblock meridians, opening Ye Mo’s eyes.
However, Madam Ling showed some disdain, watching Ye Mo’s inexperienced demeanor, which Ye Mo naturally noticed.
He understood Madam Ling’s intentions, but he had no romantic intentions toward Ling Shan, so he didn’t care about her perspective.
Returning to his room, Ye Mo was about to meditate when he heard a knock. Ling Yue Group came in with a smile, sitting nearby.
"Ye Mo, my wife is like that, don’t mind her. She wishes Ling Shan to marry well, so she pushes away anyone close to Ling Shan."
Ling Yue Group saw everything clearly and candidly said, "I can see Ling Shan was never this happy before, it seems she has feelings for you. Whether it’s romance, I don’t know. But if you truly like Ling Shan, or have feelings for her, you should cultivate diligently."
"City Lord Ling, I!"
Ye Mo hadn’t spoken yet when Ling Yue Group interrupted, "You need not answer me; only you know the answer. Also, the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, can you sell it to me?"
"You want to buy the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror?"
Ye Mo exclaimed in surprise, immediately saying, "City Lord Ling, the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror has been refined by me, and it’s also sacrificed by Artifact Spirit refining. Even if I give it to you, you can’t use it, and I have more important uses for it."
"You certainly have some skills, capable of refining the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror with sacrificial refining. I’m just asking, and if you don’t sell, I won’t force you. Yet, I advise you, a treasure in a Martial Academy will make many envious."
Ling Yue Group finished and left Ye Mo’s room.
"Brother Ye Mo, that Ling Yue Group isn’t bad, but his wife? Really looks down on people. My Brother Ye Mo, how is he not worthy of that vixen?"
The little girl in the Sumeru ring spoke, her hands on her hips.
"Vixen?"
Ye Mo couldn’t help but smile, feeling that every girl close to him would be labeled as a vixen by the little girl.
"Exactly, except Sister Xiao Yue; all others are vixens. Right, Brother Ye Mo, where is Sister Xiao Yue?"
The little girl wonderingly asked why Ye Mo didn’t bring Xiao Yue along to the immortal world.
"Her?"
Ye Mo couldn’t help but think back to the moment Xiao Yue awakened her previous life’s memory, shaking his head, he said, "Little girl, do you think people have a previous life?"
"Previous life?"
The little girl heard this term for the first time, shaking her head, indicating she didn’t know.
"Little girl, if one day, a seal spirit’s memory, spanning billions of years, was infused into you, and your memories were insignificant compared to theirs, would you forget me?"
Ye Mo asked again.
"A memory spanning billions of years?"
The little girl was astonished, not understanding how immense a billion years of memory would be, but it surely could overshadow her memories. Yet, she shook her head earnestly and said, "Brother Ye Mo, I certainly wouldn’t forget you. Even if a hundred seal memories were infused into me, I wouldn’t forget you."
Listening to the little girl’s answer, Ye Mo gazed at the starry sky through the window, his face showing a determined expression. He believed Xiao Yue wouldn’t forget him, even if she had become the Holy Soul Enchantress, Xiao Yue would still remember him.
"No matter what, it’s time to strengthen my power. Only strength matters. My current Lower-Ranked Immortal level is inadequate against true experts."
Ye Mo said, taking out the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, finally ready to resolve the Rising Dragon Pillar issue.
