Chapter 34: Ye Shui Yao
Ye Shui Yao’s and Wu Chen’s courtyard were only separated by a wall, but it was somewhat beyond Ye Wu Chen’s expectations that the front courtyard’s layout was actually much more simpler than his, on the bare ground, there was only a stone table which was surrounded by 4 chairs, and at the side there was a clean pond, within the pond, there was a slanted green lotus, which were budding, and apart from that, there weren’t anything else.
And furthermore, it was too quiet here, as if there weren’t anyone staying here.
Ye Wu Chen looked around, the corner of his mouth revealed a warm smile, and he led Ning Xue towards the lightly closed room in the middle, and afterwards gently pushed open the door.
“Get out!”
He had not yet entered when he heard a cold and emotionless voice from inside, it became quiet again afterwards and there weren’t any other sounds.
Ning Xue stopped walking and questioningly looked at her brother, and afterwards Ye Wu Chen lightly pulled her inside. Ye Wu Chen walked without hesitation, as if he didn’t even hear that cold voice.
A faint fragrance of a woman gently brushed on him, Ye Wu Chen lightly inhaled as his eyes swept through a girl’s bedroom, and afterwards, he looked towards the back of the room and he saw a girl. She wore a blue dress that was long enough to cover her legs, her dark and gorgeous hair was casually draped over her shoulder, and she had a slender waist and a delicate figure, her tall figure wasn’t any shorter than Ye Wu Chen’s.
Ye Wu Chen couldn’t help secretly gasping in admiration, she was truly worthy of being called one of the 3 most beautiful girls in Tian Long Country, he had only seen her back but it was enough to stop time. She was only 19 years old but she already had such a figure that would be difficult to find in other women. Although she seemed a bit thin to Ye Wu Chen, but her height…… using his memories to calculate, was around 175 centimeters.
At this moment, a white roll of paper was spread out in front of her and her hand was softly painting, she heard the sounds of footsteps but she didn’t turn around, and she coldly repeated: “Get out!”
“Is that all you have to say to your brother? You didn’t even know if I was still alive for a year, but my sister doesn’t even want to welcome me, and is asking me to leave instead. Ah, it truly saddens this brother.” Ye Wu Chen admired her gently like a jade, she had a white, proud, and slender body that exposed half of a tender, snow white neck, as he bitterly said. He couldn’t call other people as his parents, but calling her sister was very easy.
The girl’s arm stopped and she finally turned around. Ye Wu Chen could finally see her true face, and for a moment, he suddenly felt that the world became brighter, it was as if a stone was thrown within the lake in his heart which caused countless of ripples. Her face was incomparably delicate, her eyebrows were slender and she had a beautiful body, her majestic eyes looked at him as if she was gazing at the earth from above, it was as if she was a fairy overlooking this mundane world. Even though her light blue dress was slightly too large, her chest still prominently bulged, Ye Wu Chen couldn’t help staring for a moment as if he had a heart attack.
But the anger covering her cold face weren’t thin and she was releasing a cold and distant feeling. Even though she saw her younger brother that were believed to have been dead for a year, she still didn’t show the slightest amount of happiness on her face and her delicate eyebrows narrowed instead, because a man had never entered her room before, not even her brother and father. And furthermore, she had a strange feeling as her brother stood in front of her; it was as if he was completely different.
“It’s good that you have returned, now get out.”
She glanced at Ye Wu Chen and Ning Xue, looked away afterwards, and after coldly saying a few words, she turned around again. Even Ning Xue’s snow-white hair and spoilt appearance didn’t even attract her eyes; it seemed as if nothing in the world would be able to make ripples in her heart.
Ye Wu Chen shrugged…… his mother had talked about his sister, but this sister could be compared to an ice sculpture, and furthermore it was even hard to melt.
He couldn’t help remembering what Long Zhen Yang had bitterly said before, even though he was the prince, Ye Shui Yao never even glanced at him.
At this moment she began to paint gently, her paint brush moved as if it was dancing and a magnificent mountain peak appeared on the paper, she drew each peak from the base of the mountain to the summit, from the bottom to the top of the paper; a steep cliff completely occupied the scene. This was only a 19 year old girl but regardless of her strokes or the luster of ink, her movements were already on the boundaries of a great master. Under her hands, the mountain peak came to life and it exuded a majestic atmosphere, if a person were to look at it, he would feel as if he were in front of a mountain himself with his head raised in admiration.
Ye Wu Chen couldn’t help secretly shaking his head; even though she had skillful brushwork, it lacked a spiritually moving air, and even though her painting looked extremely real, it was a bit rigid. Perhaps this was true for most people of the world and even his fairly like sister wasn’t an exception.
“Women often love to paint flowers and rivers but they rarely like to paint mountains, a proud and Majestic Mountain may not be right for you, if you yearn for the peaceful mountains and a secluded life, your brother can take you sightseeing, there’s no need to stay in your room and focus on painting.” Ye Wu Chen gently said and shook his head and sighed afterwards: “Sister even though your painting skills have already reached perfection, and there are few people that can exceed you, but…… unfortunately, your artistic conception is far from satisfactory.”
Ye Shui Yao turned a deaf ear to him and her hands continued to stroke but her eyebrows lightly narrowed for a moment.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of her, and a pair of soft hands already covered her right hand, she unconsciously pulled out her hand and she almost coldly called out, but she found out that her paint brush were already in Ye Wu Chen hands, she didn’t know when her table had been covered with a piece of white paper, hiding her unfinished painting.
“When painting a mountain and a mountain peak, if you draw the earth and the sky, you won’t even need to paint the complete picture of a mountain.”
As he was talking, his right hand had already began to sway rapidly, his sight hanged low, his expression was tranquil, and he had a faint smile on his face, Ye Shui Yao became entranced for a moment, and unexpectedly didn’t say anything, but when her sight fell on the painting, her eyes became filled with shock.
Ye Shui Yao’s eyes suddenly released splendor, he didn’t draw a mountain and a mountain peak and he only drew a faint outline of a sea of clouds looming over a mountain summit, but people couldn’t help imagining impressive high ridges and peaks due to the spectacular clouds, compared to her paper completely filled with the mountain peak, it was simply a complete picture of a majestic mountain, the difference in artistic conception was truly as different as the sky and the earth.
And the whole painting, he only took less than a minute!
“The secret of the form of the mountain is in the edge of the clouds, it’s better than a steep 10,000 feet! To paint a mountain, you must first paint the clouds.” Ye Wu Chen slightly smiled, he moistened the paint brush again and returned it to Ye Shui Yao’s hands afterwards, and at the same time, his palm automatically stroked the back of her hand. Her hands were as tender as snow and warm as jade.

Hmm so back to teasers then I’ll go back to things of a similar origins. First of all if anyone didn’t agree with the first time I posted that long story then I’m all ears why it’s better to be a immortal or walk down the said path and follow a dao.
The only reason why it seems nice is because we look at it from a mc’s view point which usually the end of the novel is them reaching God hood. Now how many people are there in the lower realms usually millions per planet or even a billion and who knows how many planets.
But you all will argue that not just one person would ascend from each planet. Which is true it usually depends on the average cultivation technique the natural resources and such. Which is why in st it is so much easier to go threw the ranks to become a immortal. But that all comes down to luck. Just like my previous story the brothers and sisters of you were just unlucky.
That’s what it always boils down to being lucky enough not to offend a power you can’t resist. All mc’s have this luck they offend people they can resist in a couple of years. What if you offend the mc and couldn’t see mount tai? Some of them are casual and we’ll hidden. They don’t flaunt there power. Like meng hao or wang Lin what if you offend either of them. Well your dead.
How many people die in one of these novels tons and why well they are just unlucky… Immortality is boring that’s why cultivators always right since it gets the only way to experience near death scenarios anymore. You might say the mc of so and so novel doesn’t like to fight or something like that but that’s because he probably tends to fly through fights and cultivated at a high speed. Or is like linely and actually enjoys to cultivate.
If you could become immortal But had to stay on earth would you take it? I shall leave with this.
Holy cow that is deep.
/bows
I know because I just had no idea what you were talking about.
Well if you think about those cultivations to immortality there are often several upsides apart from immortality: speed, strength, stamina, no need for eating or drinking (after a certain point), barely, if any need for sleep, etc. Often immortals can help their family or loves with their cultivation and make them immortals too. So I would surely take a chance to become immortal, even if I had to stay on earth.
I think your first comment was wrong. You deliberately picked an example why being human was better than being an immortal cultivator. Lets turn around the story, the untalented son walks the wrong alley on earth and gets beaten up and robbed… He survives but gets a nasty infection in his broken arm. He has no money and in the end he only survives because a nice doctor amputates his arm. Now that he isnt ablebodied anymore, all he can do is beg in the slums like hundreds to thousands others till the local city lord decides to burn down the slums and the citizens inside because his third wife wants a better view out of her window. Meanwhile his brother and sister cultivate to immortality and they live for hundred thousands years safe and happy. The sister doesnt need to fear about anything as powerful cultivator and marries another immortal and they live for millions of years with their kids, grandkids etc. The brother becomes king but not because his father died but because his father decided to make a pause of ruling and make another honeymoondecade with his wife. Now that I turned the scenarios do you still think being an immortal cultivator is still so bad? Of course most cultivator die brutal but thats only because if you live millions of years there is a gigantic chance that something bad happens to you once in a while.
Your comment is exactly why I posted the next one it all boils down to luck. The life and death scenarios a immortal will face is infinity times higher then a mortal. No matter how high you get in the path of cultivation. So you could say a immortal needs a infinit amount of luck compared to you and me. While yes one bad turn can kill anyone one plane ride can crash. Its all possible just unlikely. The example I have out for the immortal side isn’t that unlikely it’s not as likely as their family continuing on. But since they aren’t from the highest realm usually kingdoms aren’t as stable. Look at st for example in the mortal realm kings fell and gone in a couple hundred years while in a couple quadrillion years there is still a top 8 family’s. Where I said that this took place was more of the middle realm like the idd realm. It is possible for someone from the d realm to go down and take fancy to his sister unlikely tho. Its more likely for the constant power stuggles to end their family.
Now let’s look at your example. Everything went well till the burning of the slums. Which at least in most places on earth won’t happen. I don’t know if I specified that he was banished to earth or not so I’ll take that example. His luck was bad indeed. That’s what it all boils down to.
Zero senpai has forsaken my early advances I’ll just grab a reg first then 🙁
going out ill post the teaser later XD
