Chapter 236: Chapter 231 The Miaojiang Venerable
In Ye Tian’s body, the movement of the Golden Silkworm Gu occurred only once before it once again fell into a deep sleep, as if nothing had happened at all.
However, Ye Tian’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
"It seems," Ye Tian said, seated on the sofa with a very serious expression, "that I need to find an opportunity to visit the Jiangnan Miao territory."
Speaking of the Golden Silkworm Gu, Ye Tian was reminded of the strange person with green hair and a green robe.
This person wasn’t actually very strong, certainly not on par with an enemy like the King of Hell, but he acted with great caution, even more so than the King of Hell. Just when Ye Tian was beginning to find some clues, he chose to silently withdraw, leaving no opportunities for Ye Tian, making him an even more terrifying foe.
Considering the decisive departure of the green-haired, green-robed weirdo, he must not have been fighting alone. Ye Tian thought back to the incident long ago when Bai Lan’s little butt was poisoned by a Gu, and immediately drew a conclusion after comparing the two events.
"The enemy’s power is not small, and their organization is very tight-knit," Ye Tian narrowed his eyes.
This kind of enemy, with rules, organization, and planning, could never be compared to a brute like the King of Hell.
There’s a saying: Many ants can kill an elephant.
Don’t consider small ants to be insignificant. Once their numbers reach a certain level, even a powerful elephant can only meet its death. Moreover, those who control the Gu are not mere ants; calling them jackals and tigers wouldn’t be an overstatement.
If the deceased King of Hell was a solitary tiger dominating the forest, then that powerful and malicious force lurking in Miaojiang would be a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. freēnovelkiss.com
There’s a saying: Tigers can’t stand against a pack of wolves. It’s clear who is stronger and who is weaker without saying.
"Damn it," thought Ye Tian gloomily, "just when I’ve dealt with the Downhill Tiger, a bloodthirsty wolf appears. Can’t I have a few days of bliss? Life is impossible this way."
Checking his watch, it was already one o’clock in the morning.
Overcome by sleepiness, Ye Tian didn’t care anymore. He lay down on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep, letting the Gu go to hell. All he wanted right now was a good night’s sleep; everyone else could wait until tomorrow. After all, the Golden Silkworm Gu wouldn’t awaken for several months, so there was no urgency to decide now, and there was no use in hurrying.
The Presidential Suite was quiet, and moonlight gently shone in. Outside the window were glittering stars, tranquil and distant.
The door to the bedroom slowly opened, and Yun Xinyan quietly stepped out, tucking her hair behind her ears. She silently covered Ye Tian with a blanket and squatted beside him, gazing at him quietly with affection in her eyes.
A tear quietly slid down her cheek.
After a long while, Yun Xinyan returned to the bedroom and closed the door gently behind her.
Lying in bed, she couldn’t fall asleep, her mind filled with thoughts.
"Ye Tian has really come back to life," she thought. "Life has hope again, and I have a reason to keep living. All the despair has become a nightmare of the past, washed away by the river of time."
"He’s like an enigma, inscrutable. He’s powerful, elegant, and charming. Such a man, wherever he goes, is destined to attract countless women. Perhaps, I am just one of his many women."
Yun Xinyan’s smile froze on her lips.
She thought of the fiery Wang Bingbing, the upright Wang Ke’er, the graceful Liu Fei’er, and her sister Bai Lan. Their relationships with Ye Tian were ambiguous and full of innuendos. She knew clearly that each of them truly liked him just as she did, but the more this was true, the more it hurt her.
But what could she do? If Ye Tian weren’t Ye Tian, she wouldn’t have fallen hopelessly in love with him.
As she mused, Yun Xinyan drifted off into a deep sleep, the trails of her tears still wet on her cheeks through the night.
Meanwhile, in the Miao territory, deep underground in a dark stone chamber.
A white-haired, white-bearded old man in a bizarre robe sat quietly on a cushion, his eyes closed and an air of sinister charm emanating from his brow.
Several ugly black bats hung upside down from the ceiling of the chamber, their eyes blood-red, their fangs sharp. The air was filled with a faint herbal scent, nauseating to inhale.
Near the cushion beneath the old man, many unnamed insects crawled densely. They writhed around the old man, not daring to climb onto his body, only making a displeasing squelching noise now and then.
Suddenly, the white-haired, white-bearded old man’s eyes snapped open, filled with surprise and delight as though he had sensed a signal from afar. He looked to the north, his gaze seeming to penetrate endless space, as he perceived the unrest in Jiang City in the early morning.
"It’s the Golden Silkworm Gu!" Joy shone in the old man’s eyes.
Beneath the cushion, as if sensing the old man’s delight, the insects scurried away, moving erratically on the ground, black and messy, chirping incessantly.
An unusual gleam appeared in the old man’s eyes as he called out loudly toward the chamber’s door, "Green Robe!"
Not long after his words rang out, the chamber door was pushed open. A green-haired, green-robed enchanting man entered respectfully and knelt on one knee before the white-haired elder, saying, "Your subordinate is here. May I ask what The Honored One commands?"
The man in the green robe had a withered face, appearing to be in his thirties, or perhaps in his fifties, but what made him most memorable was his face, more precisely his nose.
Indeed, this mysterious old man with white hair and a white beard was none other than the long-absent Honored One, Miao Dong. And the enchanting green-haired, green-robed man was a trusted Great General under Miao Dong. He had once visited Jiang City but later, due to the failure of his mission, the Honored One had timely summoned him back.
Miao Dong’s gaze was profound as he said word by word, "It is the Golden Silkworm Gu."
"What! The Golden Silkworm Gu!"
Upon hearing this, the green-robed man was shocked. His entire body shook as if struck by lightning.
He had to be surprised, because the memory of the Golden Silkworm Gu was too vivid for him. It was precisely because of his failed mission involving the Golden Silkworm Gu in Jiang City that he had turned into this horrifying spectacle.
The nose torture was the greatest humiliation of his life, as well as the panic he least wanted to revisit.
It was also for this reason that he had become this ghastly figure, to the extent that even the notoriously evil underlings of the Honored One would avoid him and mock him in secret.
All this was because of a place name—Jiang City—and a youth in Jiang City, Ye Tian!
He would never forget for all eternity.
"Correct, it is the Golden Silkworm Gu," the sinister old man Miao Dong said indifferently. "Just now, I felt the Golden Silkworm’s palpitations. Previously, I didn’t know what suppressed the Golden Silkworm, but now I am sure that thing has disappeared, and the Golden Silkworm is slowly awakening."
At this, Miao Dong said ominously, "You should now understand why I called for you."
"This subordinate understands." The green-robed man knelt on one knee, his expression one of utmost devotion. "I will go to Jiang City right away and make sure everything is investigated thoroughly. I definitely will not let you down, Honored One."
"Good, worthy of being my proud disciple. You get it all in one point." Miao Dong nodded with satisfaction, reminding him, "This trip to Jiang City, you must focus on gathering information and not alarm the enemy prematurely. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The green-robed man’s head bowed deeply to the ground.
Miao Dong nodded with satisfaction and said, "The last time you botched the mission, do not disappoint me again this time."
"This subordinate will not fail the mission and will redeem myself for the previous mistake. Please rest assured, Honored One." The green-robed man couldn’t bear to drive his head into the ground more deeply, showing a heart full of repentance.
"Go now," Miao Dong’s eyes shimmered with a demonic glow.
"This subordinate takes his leave." The green-robed man stood up and retreated step by step towards the door.
"Remember, you must find out what was suppressing the Golden Silkworm. This is very important to me." Miao Dong mused for a moment and then added, "The person in Jiang City is a master. Do not act recklessly."
"This subordinate understands. I take my leave."
After agreeing, the green-robed man stepped through the stone chamber, closing the door of the Honored One’s chamber behind him. At that moment, his eyes blazed with an exceptionally bright light. This time, he was determined to complete his mission perfectly and wash away the disgrace of his previous failure in Jiang City, to stand tall and proud once more.
In the stone chamber, the old man Miao Dong fell into deep thought.
"What kind of existence could suppress my Golden Silkworm to such an extent? That adversary in Jiang City is no simple person!" Recalling his enemy in Jiang City, a murderous intent flickered in Miao Dong’s eyes, "The King of Darkness, is it? You better not force me to become an assassin, or you’ll regret it!"
The next day was bright and sunny.
In the presidential suite, after having breakfast, Ye Tian took Yun Xinyan by the hand and descended the stairs, walking out of the hotel side by side and into the McLaren, as comfortable as if they were at home.
The luxurious sports car revved up and soon arrived at the Dihao Building.
After parking the car in the underground garage, Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan entered the elevator lobby and waited silently for the elevator.
"Wifey, waiting for the elevator every day is too much trouble. How about I buy the entire building, and we install a private elevator just for us? That way, you won’t have to squeeze with others ever again. How does that sound?" Ye Tian suggested with a grin.
Yun Xinyan rolled her eyes at him, "As if you have money to burn!"
The Dihao Building was located in the center of Jiang City, in the CBD business district. It was a comprehensive building with nearly 30 floors. Typically, each floor housed one company, although some floors accommodated several companies. In total, the building was home to 56 businesses, with Yun Corporation located at the very top, one of the numerous companies within the building.
Due to the presence of so many companies in the same building, but only eight elevators serving them, riding the elevators was usually an ordeal. That’s why Ye Tian had made such a suggestion.
"Hehe, you just like me for being a bit rowdy, right? Bad boys are the ones that girls love, haha." Ye Tian chuckled gleefully, pulling her into the elevator.
"There’s a difference between a bad man and a man who’s a bit naughty. You better understand the distinction." Yun Xinyan pressed the elevator button, and the doors closed, slowly ascending.
Since it was still early, the elevator was empty except for the two of them, turning it into their private world.
"Eh," Ye Tian was suddenly speechless and asked, "So which one am I, the former or the latter?"
