303: Chapter 303: [The Ancient Tomb has a Lead] Third Update!
Third update!
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” Suddenly, Chu Qingfei’s delighted voice pulled Ye Chenfeng back from his memories.
When Chu Qingfei saw the unique scenery of Changsheng Village, she couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.
Used to living in big cities, Chu Qingfei’s joy was clear to see upon arriving at such a quaint little village.
“Ah, Ye Chenfeng is back?”
Someone shouted, and the whole village erupted in excitement, as if it were New Year’s Eve, with people coming out of every household.
“Ye Chenfeng, you…
why have you come back?” the village chief asked with immense surprise, alongside the villagers.
“I said I would come back, right?
At that time, I heard that someone would die for me to see when I returned.
Where are those who wanted to die for me to see?” Ye Chenfeng scanned the crowd.
“Ah!
The Great Demon King is back, hurry home and hide the cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens!”
Once again, the crowd became restless.
However, some people’s eyes stayed fixed on Chu Qingfei, and a few honest elders asked, “Ye family lad, is this the wife you brought back from outside?”
A blush spread across Chu Qingfei’s face, but she introduced herself with poise, “Hello grandparents, uncles, and aunts…
I am Ye Chenfeng’s girlfriend, Chu Qingfei.
You can call me Qingfei from now on!”
“No wonder the Ye family lad wasn’t interested in the Zhang family’s second daughter from the village entrance.
These city girls are different, they’re as pretty as those from the paintings, and polite too!
Tsk tsk, the Ye family lad is quite lucky!” a few old grandmothers chuckled.
Chu Qingfei’s lips curled into a smile, and she naturally took an old grandmother’s arm, saying, “Grandma, that’s quite absolute.
The girls from the mountains are honest and down-to-earth, approachable, something the city girls lack!”
Not only that, Chu Qingfei also took out snacks from her backpack and handed them out to the children, who almost all followed behind her, calling her ‘sister’ one after another.
Watching Chu Qingfei blend in with the villagers, Ye Chenfeng quietly approved.
“Brother, this place is so much fun!” After turning down a group of people’s invitation to have a meal, Chu Qingfei followed Ye Chenfeng deeper into the village.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Chu Qingfei, “I was as excited as you when I first came to this village, but after a few months, I was bored to death.
I had to find things to do every day.
Today, I made roast sucking pig for the Zhang family, tomorrow, I slaughtered a calf for the Li family to make red wine beef steak.
I’ve been to every household in the village, and after a while, I got the nickname of the Great Demon King, and the villagers would walk wide around me if they saw me!”
“Giggle…
that’s so funny!
Brother, you’re really amusing, I’m sad I couldn’t join you!” Chu Qingfei’s face flushed with excitement as she listened.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head with a wry smile, but what he didn’t say was the loneliness and solitude he felt.
He didn’t think Chu Qingfei could stay in Changsheng Village for a few months or even years.
Excited as she might be now, once the novelty wore off, Chu Qingfei probably wouldn’t last a day.
Chu Qingxue, accustomed to city life, simply didn’t belong here.
Even Ye Chenfeng, once a mercenary great emperor, couldn’t stay here, let alone Chu Qingfei.
When they arrived at Changsheng Tomb, the snakes and scorpions seemed to smell Ye Chenfeng’s scent.
As soon as he entered, they rushed at him frantically, almost overwhelming him.
“Ah!
What is this?”
But at Changsheng Tomb, Chu Qingfei was frightened by the poisonous creatures inside, clinging tightly to Ye Chenfeng.
“Back off!”
At Ye Chenfeng’s shout, those creatures quickly retreated.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve raised them, they won’t hurt people,” Ye Chenfeng said.
“Oh!”
Chu Qingfei bit her lip, but still followed closely behind Ye Chenfeng.
As Ye Chenfeng entered the room, Chu Qingfei became filled with curiosity.
She saw the so-called heated brick bed, the clay stove, and a whole series of things she had only seen on the silver screen.
“Hmm?
Master, have you been here before?” Ye Chenfeng frowned.
Because Ye Chenfeng realized his master Yi Buxing had actually been here before.
Although nothing in the room had changed, Ye Chenfeng could sense Yi Buxing had been here.
“Qingfei, tonight you’ll have to put up with staying with me!” After tidying up the room, Ye Chenfeng said to Chu Qingfei.
“What did you say?
Brother, I didn’t hear you clearly!” Chu Qingfei rubbed her ears, looking incredulous.
Ye Chenfeng looked at her and spoke loudly, “I said tonight you’ll have to put up with staying here!”
“Then where will you sleep, Brother?” asked Chu Qingfei.
“I could sleep on the roof, or in the courtyard, it doesn’t matter to me!” Ye Chenfeng said nonchalantly.
Chu Qingfei pursed her lips, “How can that be okay?
It’s too cold outside!”
“It’s not like I can sleep on the bed with you, can I?” Ye Chenfeng said helplessly.
Chu Qingfei’s eyes sparkled, “Why not?
How can such a big bed not work?”
“Alright then!” Ye Chenfeng agreed.
After all, he had slept hugging Chu Qingfei before.
He went to the mountain to get some game and made a simple meal for Chu Qingfei.
After eating, Ye Chenfeng got busy.
He started browsing through Yi Buxing’s books while Chu Qingfei sat on the bed, bored, silently watching Ye Chenfeng.
“The Ice Extreme Python is born in perilous lands, where anomalies of nature occur: clouds and mist generating water, water giving birth to fire, and fire producing ice.” Finally, Ye Chenfeng found a passage in an ancient book, which was about the origin of the Ice Extreme Python that Yi Buxing kept and that had saved Chu Qingxue.
Aren’t these few lines implying: water from the heavens, fire within the water, ice within the fire?
“This is just too good!”
Ye Chenfeng jumped up excitedly, it seemed his master Yi Buxing knew this place!
“Brother…” Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s excited manner, Chu Qingfei was also filled with excitement.
But Ye Chenfeng’s brow soon furrowed, because Yi Buxing was elusive like a divine dragon that shows its head but not its tail, and right now he had no idea where Yi Buxing was.
This piece of news was as good as not knowing it at all.
“What’s wrong?
Brother!” Chu Qingfei asked concernedly.
“It’s nothing, Qingfei.
You should sleep, it gets colder at night!” Ye Chenfeng said as he put on his clothes and was about to go out.
“Where are you going, Brother?” Chu Qingfei hastily asked.
Ye Chenfeng glanced at her, “It’s nothing, I’m just going for a walk.
I won’t go far!”
“No, I want to go with you!
I’m scared being by myself!” Chu Qingfei pouted.
“Well, alright then!
I won’t go out!” Ye Chenfeng took off his jacket and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Chu Qingfei.
“Why are you looking at me, Brother?” Chu Qingfei asked, a bit shyly.
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fixed on her, “I’m watching you go to sleep!”
“Oh,” Chu Qingfei nodded and then started to take off her clothes in front of Ye Chenfeng.
