Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Chapter 111 In the evening, after dinner, Ye Tianchen went to take a bath. When he came out, he found his mother, Luo Yan, and his younger sister, Ye Qianwen, both sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. The atmosphere was somewhat unusual.

"Wow, you two beauties aren’t sleeping tonight, planning to stay up all night watching TV?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile while he dried his hair with a towel.

"Brother, come here!" Ye Qianwen glared at her brother, Ye Tianchen, and commanded.

"You little brat, what kind of tone is that? Daring to order me around? Are you on some kind of drugs?"

"Tianchen, come here!" Mother Luo Yan also said with a stern face.

At this point, Ye Tianchen completely wilted. He couldn’t ignore his mother’s words after all. After casting a severe glance at his giggling sister, Ye Qianwen, Ye Tianchen walked over and sat on the sofa opposite his mother Luo Yan and sister Ye Qianwen.

Luo Yan glanced at her son, Ye Tianchen, and said, "Tomorrow, Qi Ruxue is going to get engaged to Qin Heng. The engagement ceremony will be held in the Qin family’s grand garden. Your sister and I went out for a long time today and picked a gift for Ruxue. We can’t help her chase her own happiness, so we can only send our best wishes."

"Ah, that’s a good thing, it’s only right to bring a gift," Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Heartless, and to think Sister Ruxue loves you, hmph!" Ye Qianwen said bluntly upon hearing her brother’s comment.

"Little sister, let me say it again, there’s really nothing between Qi Ruxue and me. At most, we are just friends, and whatever that guy said, it was just to deceive you and Mom. Why do you both believe it so readily?" Ye Tianchen said, somewhat exasperated.

"Brother, I’m really disappointed in you, you know? When you were in the US, Sister Ruxue was always worried about you. Do you know who made the lobster we had at lunch? It was Sister Ruxue; she cooked it for you when she was about to leave. Do you know how sad Sister Ruxue was when she left, how much she cried? Do you know how much she is suffering inside?" Ye Qianwen said as her eyes reddened and she was on the verge of tears.

"That’s not really my fault, everyone has their own helplessness, right?"

"Tianchen, I don’t care how you feel or what you will do, but tomorrow at noon, Ruxue will be getting engaged to Qin Heng. Once the engagement is successful, Ruxue’s life might be ruined. This is the gift your sister and I chose for her; you should deliver it," Luo Yan said as she looked at Ye Tianchen.

"You’re kidding, right? You want me to deliver it? Something is not right here, wasn’t her engagement to that Qin Heng supposed to be next month? How did it get moved up so much?" Ye Tianchen asked, puzzled.

"Isn’t it because of you? We heard it’s because you hit Qin Heng, so he wanted to get back at you, he coerced and bribed the Qi family to make Sister Ruxue get engaged to him sooner!" Ye Qianwen pouted as she spoke.

"Me? This guy is getting back at me?" Ye Tianchen was even more confused. He didn’t have much of a relationship with Qi Ruxue; she wasn’t his girlfriend. How could Qin Heng speeding up the engagement be a form of revenge against him?

"Tianchen, indeed, that is the rumor going around in Capital City; Qin Heng wants to get engaged to Qi Ruxue early as revenge against you because you were engaged to Ruxue before, even though it was called off later..." Luo Yan said, looking at her son Ye Tianchen.

"You’re kidding, right? Is this guy mentally disturbed? Thinking of such a method to get back at me, he should confront me instead of using a woman to retaliate," Ye Tianchen said, clearly annoyed.

Qin Heng actually using the engagement with Qi Ruxue to get back at him was something Ye Tianchen had not expected and deeply despised. As a man, not daring to compete openly with an adversary and instead using a woman to get revenge was utterly shameful.

"I understand, I’ll handle this matter!"

Ye Tianchen had finished speaking and ascended to the second floor, entering his own room. He had already decided to visit the Qin family the next day—whether it was for Qi Ruxue’s sake, or to give Qin Heng a lesson and stop him from being so despicable and shameless. In any case, Ye Tianchen was prepared to make a move.

Seated cross-legged on the bed, Ye Tianchen entered a state of meditation. In his last battle with Thomas, he had resorted to using the Earth Element Superpower Skill. This was the first time he had used a different elemental superpower skill since he was reborn into this urban life. Normally, he would never use it unless absolutely necessary, as being able to utilize different types of superpower skills indicated that there were different kinds of superpower inside his body.

With benefits came drawbacks. Being able to use various types of superpower skills was indeed very powerful and could catch people off guard, but hosting different types of superpower within one’s body was dangerous due to their conflicting natures. If not controlled properly, there would only be one outcome: self-destruction.

Hence, Ye Tianchen avoided using different types of superpower skills unless absolutely necessary. However, Thomas was indeed too formidable, capable of wielding a powerful Water Element Superpower Skill. If Ye Tianchen had not used the Earth Element Superpower Skill to counter, he would have been dead by now.

After entering the meditation state, Ye Tianchen could clearly see the condition of his brain and internal body. The superpower generally existed within the blood and meridians, controlled by the Superpower Core in his brain. Previously, Ye Tianchen had not refined the Earth Element Power, to avoid the coexistence of two types of superpower, which could lead to collisions and imbalances.

But with the battle against Thomas, he was forced to use the Earth Element Superpower Skill. Currently, both Thunder and Earth Element Powers existed within his body, and the situation was quite grim. These were not detectable by the naked eye, only when Ye Tianchen performed Internal Vision could he see that some of his meridians and capillaries had ruptured. If this continued, his life might be in serious danger.

"It seems this body still can’t bear it, having several types of superpower within the body without reaching the Divine Level is always very dangerous!" Ye Tianchen opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

During the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen had similarly experienced the coexistence of various types of superpower within his body. But at that time, his Superpower Realm was at the Divine Level, extremely formidable, and his own body tempering was quite intense, which allowed him to segregate the different types of superpower among the distinct organs. That was why, during the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen could dominate other superpower experts of the same realm and even fight against those of higher realms.

Early the next morning, Ye Tianchen was woken by a series of knocks on the door. Qi Ruxue had already left the Ye family, and his mother Luo Yan typically wouldn’t knock, so even with his eyes closed, Ye Tianchen could guess the knocker was his sister, Ye Qianwen.

"Brother, hurry up and open the door, bro, something’s happened, about your... brother!" Ye Qianwen shouted while knocking vigorously from outside.

"I knew it was you, what could be so serious? Don’t disturb my sleep, I was planning to get up at eleven," Ye Tianchen said lazily while lying in bed.

"Hey, brother, seriously, something big has happened, really big... Qin Heng said in Capital City’s largest Eight Diagrams newspaper that he will take conquest of every woman related to you, every woman who’s been close to you..."

Ye Tianchen got out of bed, feeling somewhat annoyed inside. That damn Qin Heng really deserved a beating, last time beating him didn’t feel satisfying enough and now he was looking for trouble again. The Qin family were used to being arrogant and unruly, it seemed inevitable that they would cause trouble for the Ye family every other day.

"I got it, I’ll head to the Qin family around noon, tell mom she doesn’t need to cook for me!" Ye Tianchen said.

Around eleven in the morning, dressed in a sharp suit, Ye Tianchen checked himself in the mirror, feeling quite handsome and confident. He walked out of the villa, took his stylish motorcycle out of the small storage room next to it, tidied his hair in the mirror, and rode away.

If anyone had seen Ye Tianchen then, they might think this member of the Ye family looked rather foolish—wearing a suit while riding a motorcycle, an utterly mismatched combination, though Ye Tianchen himself thought it was quite fitting, sometimes he just left people speechless.

At the Qin family, the Qin’s large park was already filled with guests. Qin Yi, the Qin family patriarch, and Qin Heng’s father Qin Taoyuan, were both entertaining dignitaries. For a top-tier family like the Qin family, such an event attracted nearly all prominent figures from both domestic and international circles. As for Qin Heng, he had headed to the Qi family early in the morning to fetch Qi Ruxue for their engagement ceremony, making it almost akin to a wedding. He aimed for such an effect to spite Ye Tianchen, intending to seduce every woman associated with Ye Tianchen to see how he would react.

Qin Heng had hoped his father Qin Taoyuan would stand up for him after being beaten, knowing that Ye Tianchen dared to strike even Taoyuan. Yet, when the grandfather Qin Yi intervened, Yang Yi stopped him, infuriating Qin Heng, who had never been humiliated like this in all of his life in Capital City. Ye Tianchen was the first to dare to beat him and live well afterwards, and Qin Heng could not swallow this humiliation.

Once his injuries recovered slightly, Qin Heng planned to bribe assassins and even powerful mercenaries to kill Ye Tianchen, but he was scolded by Qin Yi, who told him not to act rashly during this period and at least wait until after the elections. Otherwise, with Qin Heng’s arrogant character, it would be impossible for him to have held back until now.

"Ye Tianchen, I’d like to see, Qi Ruxue was your fiancée before, now I’ve got her into bed, will you feel embarrassed!"(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for it and support the author.)
