Urban Undying Lord

Ye Xuan pondered for a long time, his aura slightly chaotic. He was not afraid of these Evil Demons; being known as the Undying Venerable naturally meant he possessed terrifying capabilities.

And not just these mere Evil Demons, even when facing a true Immortal, he would be fearless.

However, if these Evil Demons were to break free from the Blood Sea Battlefield, he feared that the world he lived in would undergo great turmoil, and the fearsome Mutant Beasts on both shores of the Blood Sea would bring calamity to the Human World. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As the Blood Sea churned, the creatures of this world would suffer unspeakable torment. Ye Xuan seemed to have already seen the future unfolding before him.

"No, I must return after all."

After a long deliberation, Ye Xuan finally made his decision. Whether for the sake of his Primordial Spirit or for himself, he had to return to the Blood Sea Battlefield.

Thud, thud, thud.

Suddenly!

A knocking at the door broke the silence and roused Ye Xuan from his thoughts. The Heavenly Punishment Halberd transformed into a beam of blood light and merged into the center of his brow.

"Is Ye Xuan home?"

An extremely familiar voice came from outside the door, causing Ye Xuan’s eyes to narrow slightly, a flash of surprise crossing his gaze.

"How could it be her?" Ye Xuan muttered softly and walked to open the door, his eyes then captured the exquisite beauty of Xia Qingzhu.

"Surprised to see me?" Xia Qingzhu asked with a slight smile as she gazed at Ye Xuan in front of her.

"What do you want?"

Regarding Xia Qingzhu’s visit, Ye Xuan’s heart was undisturbed. Despite once sharing a past with her, he now regarded her merely as a stranger.

Ye Xuan’s aloof demeanor caused a pang of sadness in Xia Qingzhu’s heart, then she forced a smile and said, "Aren’t you going to invite me in?"

"There’s no need. I’m about to leave. If you have nothing else, you can go now." After saying this, Ye Xuan was about to close the door, which caused Xia Qingzhu’s expression to turn bitter. She had not expected Ye Xuan to be so ruthless towards her.

"Brother, look who I’ve brought with me."

Suddenly, before Ye Xuan could close the door, Ye Ling’er’s voice came from afar. Ye Ling’er and Yun Mengyao approached Ye Xuan side by side, and as they reached Xia Qingzhu, the atmosphere became somewhat silent.

"You... You’re Sister Qingzhu?" When Ye Ling’er saw Xia Qingzhu, she was taken aback.

"Ling’er, it’s been so long, you’re still as radiant as ever," Xia Qingzhu said with a smile to Ye Ling’er. However, when her eyes fell upon Yun Mengyao, a complex emotion surfaced in her gaze.

Yun Mengyao was beautiful, with a grace and poise that could rival jade. Seeing a woman who could match her in beauty for the first time, Xia Qingzhu felt a twinge of wariness in her heart.

"Mr. Ye, starting today, I will be Ling’er’s headteacher. My visit today is also for a home visit," Yun Mengyao stated with a stern teacher’s demeanor, yet without coming across as strictly overbearing.

Witnessing the scene before him, Ye Xuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. The matter of the Blood Sea Battlefield had already left him troubled, and now with two women at his home, his irritation intensified.

"Sister Qingzhu, Teacher Yun, let’s go inside to talk."

Before Ye Xuan could react, Ye Ling’er swiftly pulled the two women by the hands and stepped into the house, which caused Ye Xuan’s expression to grow dark. He could only close the door and sit back down on the living room sofa, silent and evidently unwilling to engage with the two women.

"Mr. Ye, you should supervise Ling’er’s studies more closely. Aren’t you going to discuss this with me?" Seeing that Ye Xuan had no intention of paying her any attention, Yun Mengyao adopted a strict teacher’s tone and spoke with authority.

"What do you want to say?" Ye Xuan said with a chilly tone.

"Hey, what’s the matter with you? Don’t you care about your sister’s academic performance?" Yun Mengyao said indignantly.

In fact, today’s home visit had been proposed by Yun Mengyao; she was very curious about what kind of person Ye Xuan really was.

Meeting Ye Xuan twice had left a deep impression on her, and it was her curiosity about Ye Xuan that marked the beginning of her downfall, although she didn’t understand this.

Yun Mengyao had somewhat come to understand Ye Xuan’s cold nature and was prepared to endure it, yet for some reason, upon seeing Xia Qingzhu, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart and erupted in this moment.

Watching this scene unfold, Xia Qingzhu’s expression turned to one of surprise, and a trace of pleasure appeared in her eyes—it seemed that Ye Xuan and this woman were not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

"Boring!"

Ye Xuan muttered softly, picking up the ancient tome on the table and starting to read it, basically ignoring the two women’s presence.

Three women make a drama; with themselves overlooked by Ye Xuan, they naturally started chatting with Ye Ling’er. As introduced by Ye Ling’er, the two women greeted each other, and before long, they were getting along famously, making the atmosphere in the entire villa warm up.

Standing up and stepping out the door, that was Ye Xuan’s choice.

After Ye Xuan disappeared from the villa, the originally warm atmosphere suddenly became silent. Xia Qingzhu and Yun Mengyao chatted intermittently, and Ye Ling’er, the little trickster, also looked thoroughly embarrassed.

On a narrow path, Ye Xuan walked alone.

His face appeared somewhat gloomy, and his mind still lingered on the matters of the Blood Sea Battlefield. The arrival of the two women had done nothing but add to his irritation.

Ye Xuan understood the motive behind Yun Mengyao’s visit—he was clear on what Ye Ling’er was thinking. And even though he didn’t know why Xia Qingzhu had come from the Capital City to Jiangnan, he treated her just like a passerby.

The sun set, and night fell.

Ye Xuan estimated that the two women should have left by now, so he turned back toward home.

When Ye Xuan opened the door, the scene that presented itself before him left him momentarily frozen on the spot, with a complex expression crossing his face.

In the living room.

Ye Ling’er sat at the dining table, sneakily eating some dishes, while in the kitchen, Mother Ye was preparing dinner. But why had Yun Mengyao and Xia Qingzhu not left? Instead, they were helping Mother Ye with the chores?

The atmosphere buzzed with warmth, filled with laughter and jovial voices. Mother Ye’s voice could be distinctly heard by Ye Xuan.

"When Xuan was one year old, his health wasn’t very good. One time, I took him to the hospital and he actually peed on the hospital bed. That really annoyed the nurse..."

As Mother Ye’s voice trailed off, laughter burst from the two women, and Ye Xuan’s form visibly shook, a flush of embarrassment rising to his cheeks.

A cultivator, the Undying Venerable feared by millions, Ye Xuan’s mood at that moment was beyond words. He could only cough loudly, which finally caused Mother Ye in the kitchen to cut off her story.

"Xuan’er, why are you so late? Wash your hands, dinner’s almost ready."

Mother Ye called out to Ye Xuan and continued to chat and laugh with the two women. Obviously, during the time when Ye Xuan was absent, Mother Ye had returned home, and the two women had already won her favor.

"Brother, Mom really likes the two sisters," teased Ye Ling’er.

At that moment.

Ye Xuan finally turned serious; he had realized something terribly horrifying—Mother Ye really wanted him to settle down early. For Ye Xuan, the thought was simply unimaginable.
