Chapter 345 - 293
Starting Chapter 345 of "Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming": He struck his sonâs back with this hand, a gesture meant to inject a bit... See what happens next!
He struck his sonâs back with this hand, a gesture meant to inject a bit of strength into his child.
Having fought with Ye Tian for so long, Liu Xu was already exhausted, and transferring energy to his son in such an invigorated manner taxed him even further.
Watching him, he seemed as spent as a dead dog, gasping continuously and even sticking out his tongue.
At this moment, Ye Tian harbored no pity for Liu Xu and his son; the wicked would naturally meet their heavenly retribution.
Even someone as vile as Liu Xu cared so much for his son; perhaps it was a case of even a tiger not eating its offspring.
No, more like a rat not eating its young.
Ye Tian looked at the before-him weakened Liu Xu, who resembled nothing of a tiger, but rather a sick cat.
If they were cultivators, a single Spirit Supplement Pill would do the trick, but he wondered whether their kind of cultivation methods required consuming Pills?
Could they handle him with such training?
Ye Tian didnât have much insight into their Ancient Martial Arts cultivation methods, but he did know that Liu Xu was no match for him.
Not before, and certainly not now.
After all, Ye Tian had also received the Supreme Elixir from Jiang Tang.
Upon consuming two Pills, he ascended a level, yet due to his busy official duties, he hadnât found time to isolate himself for deep cultivation.
âYe Tian, may I take my son out now?â
As Liu Xu asked this, his hands were already in motion, preparing to lift his son.
He then lifted his son and left the prison cell, searching for the Enchantment Spell medicine to administer to his child, as he couldnât let his son remain in a state of constant insanity; the Liu Familyâs heir couldnât become a cripple.
Lifting his son, Liu Xu trudged out of the prison, his footsteps unsteady and hands trembling, but he clenched his teeth and held tightly onto his child.
After all, as a grandmaster of Ancient Martial Arts, he lacked the power but feigned the strength of an ox.
Ye Tian had earlier gone to the King to report the situation, simply to make the King aware of it.
If Liu Xu managed to rescue his son and take him home, the King would still be able to capture him, unless Liu Xu sent his son away.
Unless his son was outside the borders of Ancient Xia Country, even if he was a criminal hiding in a mouse hole, they could still fish him out.
Ye Tian did not hinder Liu Xu; he didnât want someone insane dirtying his premises.
By capturing his son and not releasing him immediately, making a Prime Ministerâs son languish in a cell, he had managed to infuriate the Prime Minister, leaving him helpless against Ye Tian.
Ye Tian wasnât afraid of Liu Xu seeking revenge.
His family was of the Protector God Clan, treading the path of righteousness.
How could he fear someone wicked?
Even if he did not act, the wicked would be dealt with by the heavens.
Ye Tian watched as Liu Xu carried his son away and then departed in a carriage.
He was considering returning to his family, having been busy for many days.
He wanted to spend time with his family and to share the recent events with them.
The Supreme Elixirs he had brought back, of course, he also wanted to share with his family.
The people of the Protector God Clan had access to Supreme Elixirs many years ago, and even Immortal Pills ten thousand years past, but unfortunately, these had disappeared many years ago.
Ye Tian remembered that as a child, when he had started cultivation, the family had given him the only Supreme Elixir they had to nurture their heir.
Consequently, his cultivation achievements at a young age surpassed those of others in his family, marking him as an elite among elites.
This was not just due to the familyâs Supreme Elixir but also the legacy of the Ye Family Clanâs cultivation spells.
When Ye Tian had first transmigrated into this body some months ago, he didnât understand why his soul had mysteriously entered it.
A talented individual would not commit suicide; his modern soul entering this body so effortlessly remained a puzzle.
This mystery remained a secret he dare not share with his family.
Ye Tian had no idea that when he was young, as terrorists infiltrated Xia Country, the Ye Family posed a significant threat to the Liu Family.
Intending to harm the Ye Family, their plan naturally involved kidnapping Ye Tian, the heir and elite of the Ye Family Clan.
Liu Xu had conferred with the terrorists, but he did not know how they proceeded; he only knew that when their attempt failed and Liu Xu asked them to try again, they instead chose to target a weaker family.
Young Ye Tian had been poisoned by the terrorists with a deadly toxin.
Lacking worldly experience, he was unguarded in his room, succumbing to the poison that took effect immediatelyâŚ
The terrorists hadnât even begun their kidnapping when the victim died so easily, prompting them to hastily retreat for fear of retribution from the Ye Family.
They awaited news of the Ye Family heirâs death, but to their surprise, there was no stir from the Ye Family.
Days later, the terrorists saw someone on the street who looked very much like the person they had harmed, strolling past them unabashedly.
Someone had once deliberately shouted âYoung Generalâ, and that person looked back at them with a clueless gaze, as if he didnât recognize them at all.
That gaze was scrutinizingâŚ
From Ye Tianâs expression, the terrorists confirmed that the young man before them was indeed the person they had harmed.
Could it be that they harmed a body double that day?
No, that wasnât it.
They had concealed themselves, so it made sense that the young man didnât recognize them.
The terrorists thought they had seen a ghost, and gradually they realized that this young man was becoming more formidable, and none of their actions were detected by him.
Ye Tian didnât know that upon arriving in this body, the original soul had been harmed.
Perhaps the transition of a new soul into this body healed it painlessly, leaving him unaware that the body had been victimized, allowing his soul to enter.
He also didnât know that he had already clashed with the terrorists, let alone that he had a feud with them.
All he knew was that each time he eradicated treachery, his body uncontrollably felt a thrill of excitement, harboring hatred for those terrorists and evildoers.
âYe TianâŚ
waitâŚâ
Long Feifeng boarded her carriage, not yet departed from the prison gate, when she saw Liu Xu carrying Liu Tao onto another carriage; her attention was on Ye Tian, who was leaving the gate.
At that moment, Ye Tian appeared to be about to mount his horse and leave, with no intention of engaging in an extended conversation with her.
Long Feifeng had always wanted to talk to Ye Tian and to stay by his side.
How could she let him leave?
âPrincess, the visit is over.
You should go back.
The King will worry about your safety.â
âYe Tian, I want to visit your familyâs home.â
âPrincess, I have other matters to attend to, I cannot accompany you.â
âThen you must escort me back.
You know this place isnât safe,â she insisted.
Long Feifengâs request was one Ye Tian could not refuse.
Though she was a princess, she was also a woman.
Once she left the Imperial Palace, her safety was not guaranteed.
Ye Tian, having no choice, mounted his horse and gestured to the princess to proceed.
Long Feifeng sat triumphantly in her carriage, not drawing her curtains.
She watched Ye Tian, infatuated, as the carriage moved.
Observing Ye Tian from this angle, the man seemed even more handsome, garbed as a warrior in armor.
She knew Ye Tian didnât normally wear such clothes; he had dressed in a generalâs uniform this time only to enter the Imperial Palace and meet her father the King.
Beauty loves a brave warrior, and Long Feifeng found the majestic Ye Tian even more mesmerizing.
She dismissed the likes of Liu Tao as weak and not worth her attention.
Only the Prime Minister and his son regarded Liu Tao as a candidate for her.
Another candidate, Tang Feiyang, was far superior to Liu Tao.
At this moment, Long Feifengâs heart harbored only Ye Tian.
These past days, annoyed that he had sent her away, she forgot everything upon seeing him again.
Long Feifeng fancied a daydream where, when she married, Ye Tian would be by her side, both dressed as bride and groom.
To avoid the gawking officials on their return, they took the same route they had come from earlier.
Ye Tian successfully escorted the princess to the entrance of the Imperial Palace.
He stayed mounted, not dismounting, as the princessâs carriage proceeded through the palace gates.
Long Feifeng, realizing Ye Tian wouldnât enter the palace, quickly ordered the coachman to halt.
âYe TianâŚ
donât goâŚâ
âPrincess, I have matters to attend to and must go now.
Take care,â Ye Tian replied.
Without waiting for Long Feifeng to interject further, he spurred his horse and left.
Long Feifeng stepped out of her carriage, stamping her foot on the spot, frustrated by the manâs attitude towards her, unable to muster any indignation.
She had once thought about asking her father the Emperor to command Ye Tian to marry her, but her fatherâs words still echoed in her ears: neither Ye Tian nor the Ye Family could be forced, not even by the Emperor.
In her heart, Long Feifeng understood that the Long Family was not as martially powerful as the Ye Family.
