Chapter 304 - Burning the Corpse to Erase Traces

Huo Mengyao glanced around, her beautiful eyes resting on the wounded, and after a brief contemplation, she said coldly, “These people now know your identity, they must be killed, otherwise, if Duanmu Xiang finds out, the trouble will be endless!”

After pausing, Huo Mengyao continued, “However, with so many people dead tonight, according to the sect rules, these people attacked you first, and you were merely defending yourself.

The Law Enforcement Elder of the sect should not trouble you, but…”

“But what?” Ye Haochuan asked.

Huo Mengyao explained, “But as for the Sun Moon Alliance, they will certainly not let this go easily, they might deeply investigate your identity and then target you.

Therefore, I need to return to the Sun Moon Alliance to negotiate for you, to try to dispel their suspicions about you.”

Ye Haochuan felt extremely relieved, Huo Mengyao’s words were clearly a declaration of her stance, showing that she was on his side, considering his well-being.

In fact, it wasn’t hard to imagine she would do this.

After all, following their Dual Cultivation, Huo Mengyao’s chastity was given to Ye Haochuan.

The two were united, naturally planning for him.

Obviously, given that Ye Haochuan was a man of both talent and charm, with superior martial skills and boundless potential, it was no wonder Huo Mengyao was devoted.

“Haochuan, wait here, I will kill these people to prevent any leakage of information.”

After speaking, Huo Mengyao took out a golden longbow and shot the wailing wounded one by one.

From then on, Ye Haochuan completely let down his guard around her; a woman who dared to kill those who were originally her companions for his sake was clearly all-in for him, without reservations.

Of course, as for him, he would not be like those hypocritical gentlemen full of righteousness and morality; he treated his enemies with just one word, death!

As for subduing enemies and using them for his benefit, it was not out of question, but definitely not now, as his strength was too weak at the moment.

“Mengyao, search these bodies, see if there’s anything good, and then burn them all, I want to destroy the evidence…” Ye Haochuan instructed.

Huo Mengyao acknowledged with a hum and immediately got busy.

Ye Haochuan then approached Guan Qiang, first picking up the Fire Dragon Sword not far from him.

It was clear that the Fire Dragon Sword was of fine material, a superior Talisman Instrument, no wonder it could match his Ice Soul Sword in Guan Qiang’s hands.

Hey, this Fire Dragon Sword is a real treasure, Ye Haochuan nodded, and after performing the Blood Droplet Recognition, he immediately stored it in his storage ring.

After searching Guan Qiang’s body for a while, Ye Haochuan found a storage bracelet and looked inside.

He couldn’t help but rejoice as the storage bracelet contained numerous valuable items, secret manuals, and pills.

Most of the treasures were superior Talisman Instruments, with no top-grade ones, and as for the secret manuals, most of them were suitable for Postnatal cultivation as well.

However, the pills were a different story.

There were many of them, over ten thousand, including Qi Condensing Pills, Fasting Pills, Blood Coagulation Pills, Bone Tempering Pills, and more, amounting to a significant quantity.

Moreover, Ye Haochuan found three Postnatal Pills among them.

Postnatal Pills were no ordinary pills, categorized directly as top-grade Postnatal items.

Any ordinary person who consumed one could transform from a mortal into a cultivator, achieving immediate success with limitless prospects.

However, the ingredients needed for Postnatal Pills were very rare and hard to refine.

Holy Hand could concoct them, but due to the scarcity of the required materials, it was not feasible.

Generally, disciples from various sects who acquired Postnatal Pills often did so through exemplary contributions, awarded by their sects.

“Damn, three Postnatal Pills, that’s just great, perfect for our own people.

No matter what, once I’ve ascended, they must too.”

Ye Haochuan smiled, then secured the Postnatal Pills, but he was pondering who exactly to give them to—Xiao Haimei?

Chen Yushan?

Zhao Bingqian?

Or…

Just then, Huo Mengyao approached, holding several storage treasures, and said with a slight smile, “I just checked, and there are quite a few good items inside, especially a lot of pills—no less than ten thousand in total.”

Since she was already his woman, Ye Haochuan didn’t put on any airs and let her keep them all.

Huo Mengyao did not expect him to be so generous.

Her heart warmed, and she smiled and said, “Mm.”

Looking at her smile hidden beneath the butterfly mask, Ye Haochuan suddenly let out a chuckle, “Hey, Mengyao, we’re practically an old married couple now, why are you still wearing that mask?

Take it off quickly, won’t you?”

“Old married couple?

Aren’t you embarrassed?” Huo Mengyao blushed, but obediently took off the mask.

What was revealed was a face with delicate, lovely features, a flawless visage, a perky nose, and plump lips.

Although not stunningly beautiful, she was indeed a pleasure to behold.

With his intense gaze fixed on her, Huo Mengyao, who had never been scrutinized by a man like this, couldn’t help but blush deeply, revealing a charmingly shy demeanor.

Heh, feeling shy?

Ye Haochuan was greatly stirred.

Just now, inside the Strange Fire King Cauldron, his cultivation with Huo Mengyao had purely been for self-preservation.

Now that the crisis was over, he couldn’t help but entertain some frivolous thoughts again.

Huo Mengyao could clearly see what was on his mind and stomped her foot, “Why are you staring at me like that?

Hurry up and handle these corpses.

It’ll be troublesome if someone shows up.”

Ye Haochuan then came back to his senses, temporarily set aside his amorous feelings, and, wielding the Fire Dragon Sword, began to burn the corpses.

Soon, the air was filled with the acrid stench of burning bodies, which was nauseating.

Huo Mengyao, being a lady, stood far away, while Ye Haochuan stayed and continued with the task.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Haochuan finally finished and returned to Huo Mengyao’s side.

“Let’s go, Mengyao.

We better leave this place quickly to avoid trouble if someone sees us,” said Ye Haochuan.

However, to Ye Haochuan’s surprise, Huo Mengyao did not leave with him but instead said, “Haochuan, I have to go.”

Ye Haochuan was astonished, “You have to go?

We’ve just made our relationship official, and you’re leaving?”

Huo Mengyao sighed, came closer, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him tenderly, “Haochuan, you don’t understand.

So many members of the Sun Moon Alliance died tonight.

Their Alliance Hierarch, Duanmu Xiang, will definitely send people to investigate.

I must rush back and mislead them…”

Ye Haochuan then realized, and was touched by her thorough thinking, feeling relieved.

In an emotional moment, he pulled her into his embrace and kissed her deeply.

Huo Mengyao, still rational, said, “Not here…”

“Okay, then let’s find another place!”

Ye Haochuan chuckled, then scooped her up in his arms, kissing her passionately while employing the Dragon Flight and Tiger Step to leave.

Somewhere secluded, Ye Haochuan then summoned the Strange Fire King Cauldron and, holding the soft Huo Mengyao, jumped in…
