Chapter 83: Chapter 83: My Daughter Just Came of Age Today

Hearing this voice, the woman froze for a moment.

She frowned, her brows furrowed in confusion.

That voice.

It was so familiar!

She racked her brain!

And then she remembered!

It was him!

The one from before, when she was injured and being hunted!

The Alchemist she had run into!

The man who had inflicted a pain she had never felt before in her life!

Yes!

That’s right, it was that guy!

As she thought this, Ye Yunyi approached from a distance.

A smile of realization spread across his face.

He looked at the woman before him, surprised by how beautiful she was.

’If I’d known, that time in the jungle...’

Wait!

Ye Yunyi looked at her.

Whoa!

’Isn’t she one of the people from the wanted posters?’

’Her bounty is a Diamond Level Crystal Core!’

’Her name is Yu Yan!’

"Yu Yan?" Ye Yunyi’s single word made the woman understand instantly.

"You’ve seen the wanted posters, haven’t you?" Hearing Ye Yunyi say her name, Yu Yan knew he must have seen them.

She pouted, thinking to herself, ’Those major families are so shameless!’

’To think they’d come up with such a method!’

However, she looked at Ye Yunyi with an amused expression. "What? You want to capture me and claim the bounty?"

Her voice dripped with mockery.

She knew he was just an Alchemist, after all.

’Everyone has their own specialty; you can’t be a master of all trades, can you?’

’Most Alchemists have mediocre combat strength!’

’Especially in a place that isn’t the First Line Barrier!’

Ye Yunyi nodded. "I did have that thought just now, yes."

"Hahaha!"

Yu Yan clutched her stomach and burst out laughing.

Then she looked at Ye Yunyi, a sharp glint in her eyes. "Why don’t we test that theory?"

"If I win, you’ll come with me, become my servant, and do everything I say!"

Yu Yan was full of confidence. If she had an Alchemist by her side, combined with her own considerable strength...

’Then...’

’with the two of us working together, my power would increase much faster.’

’In the future, settling down peacefully in some corner of the world shouldn’t be a problem.’

’And I’d gain a tool—a servant. Two birds with one stone.’

With that, her gaze toward Ye Yunyi became that of someone looking at a useful tool.

"Sure. But what if I win?"

"Simple. I’ll do everything you say. Whatever you command. You can even turn me in for the bounty."

"Deal!"

Seeing Ye Yunyi agree so readily, Yu Yan couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

’This guy!’

’He’s really confident in his own strength!’

’He has no idea that a mere Alchemist like him is nothing in my eyes!’

’Does he think I’m still the same as when I was injured?’

’I’ve recovered most of my strength now. I’m not the same person I was before!’

’Even if it was his medicine that healed me!’

Hmph!

She was just about to make her move!

But!

The next instant!

Ye Yunyi moved!

His body blurred into an afterimage!

In a flash!

He was right in front of Yu Yan!

His hand clamped directly around her delicate neck!

This—!

Yu Yan’s eyes flew wide open, unable to believe what she was seeing!

What she was feeling!

Right now, on her neck!

Ye Yunyi’s hand was like an iron pincer!

Clamped down hard!

Immovable!

’This guy!’

’This strength!’

As she stared in shock, Ye Yunyi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sorry, but I just finished killing a Mid-Diamond Stage giant serpent."

"I have no idea where you got the confidence to think you could be stronger than me."

Yu Yan: "..."

The corner of her mouth twitched.

’Killed... a Mid-Diamond Stage giant serpent?!’

’And I’m only at the Early-Diamond Stage!’

’I was careless!’

’I shouldn’t have made that bet!’

But then she had another thought.

’It seems like even if I hadn’t made the bet, it would have been useless!’

’There’s no way I could have escaped from him!’

"I... I lost. Go on, take me to collect the bounty!"

As Yu Yan spoke, her entire body went limp.

She and her sisters had escaped from the clutches of those major families!

They had scattered to the winds!

But in the end, she still couldn’t escape the fate of being captured and taken back!

’After I’m taken back, they’ll probably make an example of me to warn the others!’

’Who knows what kind of humiliation I’ll have to endure!’

The next moment!

Ye Yunyi threw her directly over his shoulder. "Who said I was taking you to collect the bounty?"

After letting out a small cry, Yu Yan heard his words and froze.

"Then what are you going to do?!"

"Didn’t you say you’d do everything I say?"

"My demands are simple. Come back with me and give me eight or ten children!"

The words left his lips lightly.

But to Yu Yan’s ears,

they struck her like a bolt of lightning!

’What?!’

’Simple?’

’You call that simple?!’

’You damn bastard!’

’What did you just say?!’

’Eight or ten?!’

’How many years would that take?!’

’Huh?!’

Yu Yan immediately began to struggle.

Feeling her movements, Ye Yunyi thought, ’Nice, she really is an Early-Diamond Stage.’

’Not bad, not bad at all!’

’She’s the strongest among my wives!’

However.

He wasn’t one to spoil a disobedient one.

And so!

Two crisp sounds rang out.

Feeling the sting, Yu Yan’s face instantly flushed red with shame.

She immediately pulled her mask back over her face.

Too ashamed to be seen!

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi swaggered through the jungle, carrying Yu Yan.

Then, he entered the city through the barrier’s gate.

At the gate,

many Mutants saw Ye Yunyi and bowed their heads.

"Lord Ye! You’ve returned!"

"Lord Ye!"

...

Their voices rang out one after another.

Then, they noticed the woman on Ye Yunyi’s shoulder.

Although they couldn’t see her face, her figure, accentuated by her clothes as she was slung over Lord Ye’s shoulder,

was quite something!

’She looks like she’d be good at bearing sons!’

The male Mutants all looked at Ye Yunyi, their faces filled with envy, jealousy, and hate.

After all!

Just a few days ago, Lord Ye had brought back a whole group of beautiful women!

And now, he’d caught another one?!

They had to admit, when it came to "spreading his branches and leaves," Lord Ye was exceptionally talented!

Not far away,

a Patriarch also saw Ye Yunyi’s procession.

He froze in his tracks.

He hurried home at once!

Then, he ordered a family disciple to contact the other Patriarchs.

A short while later, several Patriarchs rushed over.

"What is it? Old Zheng, why did you summon us in such a hurry?"

"Yeah, I was just enjoying a nice cup of tea. You owe me one."

"You don’t look so good!"

...

As their voices chimed in, Patriarch Zheng looked at the group, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I just saw Lord Ye return carrying a woman. I’m afraid tonight he’s going to be... at it again..."

His words instantly silenced the chattering group.

The world seemed to spin around them.

They raised their hands and slapped their own foreheads.

’Heavens above!’

’A bridegroom every night!’

’Doesn’t he ever get tired?!’
