Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 35: Mystic City - 1

The opening of ’Mystic Pond’ was very important, because for a business sect like Azure Cloud, it was an opportunity.

Moreover, almost all of the top sect would be gathering, as well as the royal family; hence, Zhen Yunqi needed to look over a few things personally.

Ye Chen also understood this, so he didn’t stop her and returned to the courtyard with Li Mei.

It was still afternoon, and there was a lot of time to train; however, he didn’t continue with training and asked Li Mei to adjust her realm to the peak.

In the Mystic Pond, their cultivation was going to rise rapidly; because of this, both of them needed to make sure their realm was stable.

If not, their future cultivation road might become difficult.

Li Mei understood this, so she didn’t refuse and sat cross-legged in her room.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen also did the same a distance away from her.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of repairing his room.

Although he liked to live with his cute, anxious junior sister, there was no way she would be able to cultivate here for a long time in his presence.

Not to mention it was also the same for him.

If it was for one or two nights, it won’t be a problem; however, for a longer retreat, the disturbance in cultivation might affect their realm.

’Looks like I need to tell Yunqi to repair my room,’ he thought to himself and started adjusting his realm.

For him it wasn’t a big problem, and within a few ten minutes he was done.

After this, he took out the small ancient book and started to study his cultivation technique.

In this past week, he had been studying the body cultivation from it.

At first he thought it would be similar to refining the skin, bones, tendons, and such.

However, he was wrong because this body cultivation art was a lot different, as it can allow him to acquire the Divine Celestial Physique.

He didn’t know how strong it was, but from the name, it sounded awesome.

But of course he needed heaven-grade treasures just to cultivate such a physique.

’My current physique is already as strong as a Qi-refining cultivator. If I cultivate this, then won’t my physique become as strong as a Qi-condensation realm cultivator?’ he thought to himself as he pondered how to get his hands on the heaven-grade treasures needed for cultivation.

Just like this, the day came to an end, and Li Mei stabilized her realm successfully.

After this, they both had dinner.

Zhen Yunqi had already returned, and after explaining a few things to them about tomorrow, she got back to her room and was recovering her strength; because of this, she didn’t join them.

Li Mei and Ye Chen knew this, so they didn’t bother to find her and returned to their room after dinner.

As usual, Ye Chen lay down on the bed, waiting for his junior sister to come.

It didn’t take too long, and Li Mei arrived with a red face.

After this, she climbed on the bed and got close to him on her own.

Even if she didn’t do this, Ye Chen would pull her into an embrace, so it was useless to keep distance, and she was already used to it.

It’s just she was embarrassed about it, and her face was steaming hot.

Watching her like this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but chuckle before extending his claws to grab her delicate waist.

After this, he pulled her closer and gazed into her anxious eyes.

"Did you prepare everything for tomorrow?" Ye Chen inquired.

"Mmhm, I did it."

"What about the pills I gave you?"

"They are in a spatial ring always."

"Did you bring medical herbs?"

"Yes, I also brought them."

Li Mei answered his questions with confidence.

While hearing her, Ye Chen nodded silently, and after making sure she prepared everything, he patted her head with a proud look.

"Looks like my Xiao Mei has become smarter," he said.

Hearing him Li Mei’s face flushed red, and she threw a punch at his chest.

"Humph! Who is yours?!" She snorted angrily and buried her face into his shoulders.

Watching her like this, Ye Chen smiled and covered their bodies with a quilt.

Meanwhile, Li Mei closed her eyes and tightened her grip on his clothes.

In the past week, although he teased and bullied her, he also cared for and doted on her.

This care and doting was something she had never felt.

Even when her parents were alive, they didn’t seem to care about her too much, so his actions made her happy.

This was the reason why she didn’t mind being close to him.

Ye Chen knew the reason, so he didn’t say anything and embraced her tightly before closing his eyes.

Just like this, the night was over, and the next day they both got ready and waited for Zhen Yunqi.

It didn’t take too long, and she came out of her room with her usual white dress.

After this, she said a few words and flew off to the sect along with them.

…

Today the whole sect was bustling with excitement, and the reason was the ’Mystic Pond’ was going to open soon.

Of course many of them didn’t care about the quota because they weren’t thinking about getting strong but doing business.

With the Mystic Pond opening, a lot of cultivators would be coming, especially the high-grade sects and even the royal family.

If any of them liked their treasure, they had a chance to get rich and form a connection.

Not to mention the numbers of cultivators; there would be a lot, so they were bound to make a profit.

Because of this, the disciples were excited.

"Look, the sect master has come!" Suddenly someone pointed at the sky.

Everyone turned their gazes and saw three figures descending from the sky.

They were none other than Zhen Yunqi, Li Mei, and Ye Chen.

After landing, Zhen Yunqi took a glance at the excited disciples.

"I know you are very eager to go on this trip, but let me remind you not to create trouble once you are in ’Mystic City.’ If not, no one will be able to save you," she stated with a cold look and gestured an elder to take over.

The disciples below weren’t surprised at her cold attitude because that’s how she was. Only in front of Li Mei and Ye Chen did she smile and speak freely. As for the outer world, she was a cold goddess.

Li Mei didn’t know this, and if she saw her cold face, she would probably think her master was angry.

However, her attention wasn’t on her but on a young, beautiful girl who was hugging Ye Chen’s arm.

"Brother Chen, I missed you," Lan Ming cried with grievance as she gripped his arm firmly.

Watching her like this, Ye Chen smiled and silently cast a glance at Li Mei, whose expression was a little sour.

"Didn’t I say that you can visit me any time you want? Why didn’t you come?" he inquired.

"I wanted to, but I thought you would be cultivating, so I waited for this day," Lan Ming replied as she snuggled closely to him.

After this, she cast a glance at Li Mei.

"Sister Li Mei, I missed you too," she said with guilty eyes.

Clearly, she didn’t even think of her these days.

Fortunately, Li Mei was naive and failed to see through her lie and genuinely thought she must have missed her.

Because of this, her sour expression eased a little, and she nodded without saying anything.

However, her complicated and sour thoughts remained in her heart.

’Humph! Smelly senior brother, it’s all your fault,’ she thought, blaming him for whatever was happening.

At this moment Zhen Yunqi came back, and watching Ye Chen getting hugged by two beauties, her expression was a little strange.

Nevertheless, she didn’t say anything and asked them to follow her.

Lan Ming was also going to the Mystic City with them, but for business purposes.

Although her reason was different, it still made Li Mei sour, especially since she got on the eagle with them.

The Mystic City was a few hundred miles away from the sect, and there were a lot of disciples going there.

Because of this, eleven of the white eagles were prepared to fly, in which Zhen Yunqi’s was the biggest and only had four people on it.

Li Mei was puzzled at why only they were riding the eagles, but after hearing the explanation from Lan Ming, she understood.

The big white eagle was raised by Zhen Yunqi. It was her own belonging, so unless she agrees, no one will be able to use this eagle.

’Why does the master own everything separately?’ Li Mei thought with a puzzled look.

Meanwhile, Lan Ming frowned with displeasure as she felt the gaze with ill intention.

This gaze came from Hu Tian, as he didn’t bother to disguise or hide it.
