Chapter 511: Chapter 510:

"Actually... I just want to, like when we were kids, go out with you each night to hold hands and watch the stars."

Ye Tianchen suddenly took Ling Yuxun’s hand, looking at her tenderly, saying these words that made girls feel helpless. At this moment, Ling Yuxun was stunned, her face blushed, and she felt the joy of childhood sweethearts, the happiness of pure friendship from when they were little. She hadn’t expected that at this time, Ye Tianchen would want to go star gazing with her.

In every girl’s heart, there is a prince charming from their childhood, an indelible image deep in the soul. When Ling Yuxun heard Ye Tianchen’s words, she too fell into a brief spell of reminiscence. She remembered when she and Ye Tianchen used to play together every day, go to school together, return home from school together, play games, eat, even sleep and get scolded together. It was a pure and innocent age, truly happy and joyful, especially on summer nights when Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun would sneak out to climb onto the roof and count stars, often falling asleep amidst the count, only to be found and scolded by adults. Yet, even such times were filled with joy, leaving the most beautiful memories in Ling Yuxun’s heart.

Seeing Ling Yuxun bashfully lower her head, Ye Tianchen smiled faintly and then, holding Ling Yuxun’s little hand, he opened the door of the cabin and walked out. It was summertime, and the sky was scattered with bright stars. When Ling Yuxun looked up at these stars, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

Ever since Songben Xiajian and others attacked the Ling family, killing Ling Yuxun’s brother and Old Lady Ku, Ling Yuxun had been in deep sorrow. Yet, she remained strong as she still needed to take care of her father who had lost his right arm. After reaching the headquarters of the Heavenly Gang Level War Generals, she didn’t have to worry about safety issues any longer. However, Ling Yuxun still couldn’t sleep at night, worrying about her grandfather in M country, afraid that the shameless government there would kill him. Here, she and her father were instructed by Yang Yi and Qing Hu to stay inside the cabin and not wander about. It had been nearly a week since Ling Yuxun arrived here and this was the first time she walked out of the vicinity of the cabin.

"Beautiful sceneries are meant to be admired, you can’t see them if you stay inside the cabin," Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Yeah, it’s been a long time since we watched the stars together like when we were kids. After so many years, you haven’t changed!" Ling Yuxun turned around, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she spoke to Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen was momentarily stunned. Not changed? He felt he had changed a lot. These years Ling Yuxun had been in M country, and he had been in the homeland; it had been at least ten years since they had met. Although their affection remained the same, recalling their childhood friendship, at least one thing had changed—they had both matured!

"I’ve apparently grown much taller and more handsome!" Ye Tianchen chuckled cheekily.

Ling Yuxun couldn’t help but smile and shook her head, given Ye Tianchen a stern look, "I wasn’t talking about your looks, but about your personality, which is still as unreliable as ever."

"Oh!" Ye Tianchen also smiled faintly, agreeing with her. Since being reborn into this Ye Tianchen from his previous life, he had discovered his rogue nature, very much like the old Ye Tianchen, except without the Death God temperament. When faced with danger or bullied, his only option previously was to kneel and play dirty, making him a coward and the laughingstock of the Capital City.

Having strength and bragging makes you awesome; without the strength and trying to brag just makes you a fool. Because when real trouble comes, your lack of strength will become apparent, leaving you unable to keep up the act.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and leaned to the side to take a puff. His Superpower Perception had spread out the moment they stepped outside. They were in the central plains, surrounded by mountains, which was the base camp for the Heavenly Gang Level War Generals. The area was filled with forests and many structures resembling Mongolian tents, equipped with the latest scientific devices. Ye Tianchen could feel a strong energy emanating from the mountains, indications of protectors, probably ensuring that within a hundred miles, not even a fly could enter casually.

Ling Yuxun, however, was immersed in her childhood memories, feeling more and more joyful as she reminisced. Unconsciously, she gazed at Ye Tianchen’s profile, slightly mesmerized. As a child, it was Ye Tianchen who had protected her. Now that he had grown up, he was even more formidable. His appearance was not bad, his strength had increased tremendously, and he had even slain the younger brother of the Sword Emperor of the Northern Heavenly Flow. How could such a domineering attitude not endear him to girls?

"Tianchen, do you have a girlfriend?" Ling Yuxun couldn’t help but ask softly.

"Ah? Yeah...." Ye Tianchen casually responded.

"Oh!" Ling Yuxun felt somewhat disappointed. When she had seen Ye Tianchen at Longteng University, she had already guessed it. How could the increasingly outstanding Ye Tianchen not have a girlfriend? And it seemed like there was something between him and Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya seemed interested in him.... Ling Yuxun had always been reluctant to think about these things because in her heart, she still liked Ye Tianchen.

"One... two... three... four..."

"Huh?..."

Little did Ling Yuxun realize, before she could respond, Ye Tianchen had started counting. Based on the earlier conversation, was Ye Tianchen counting how many girlfriends he had? Such a heartbreaker?

"Big villain, go die!" Ling Yuxun pinched Ye Tianchen’s arm hard and said.

"Wow... this is flesh too, why are you pinching me?" Ye Tianchen came to his senses, feeling pain in his right arm, and couldn’t help but look at Ling Yuxun and say.

"I don’t want to deal with you anymore, big villain." Ling Yuxun glared at Ye Tianchen, then walked over to the side of the cabin and sat on a wooden stool, sulking.

Only then did Ye Tianchen come to his senses. Actually, he had not been listening to Ling Yuxun at all just now, so naturally he didn’t know what Ling Yuxun had said. If not, even if he lacked emotional intelligence, he wouldn’t be so clueless. Now, seeing Ling Yuxun sulking by his side, Ye Tianchen started to feel anxious because just a moment ago, he had perceived several strong powers, at least a dozen, all rushing toward the distant woods as if something was happening.

The Heavenly Gang War Generals are undoubtedly the strongest individual combat team in China. Each of their strengths is unfathomable and very powerful. Something that could gather them in such a rush must be no small matter, so Ye Tianchen also wanted to go and see.

Honestly, since coming here, Ye Tianchen had always been unable to suppress his curious and impulsive nature. He wanted to explore the main camp of the Heavenly Gang War Generals, and now was the perfect opportunity. But with Ling Yuxun here, he couldn’t leave and was frantically thinking of a way out.

"Hehe, Yuxun, actually I didn’t mean that. I thought when you said girlfriend you meant a female friend, so I counted, you see, Xiao Ya, Su Feifei, Qi Ruxue, Liu Rumei, including you, are all my girlfriends, that’s what I believe!" Ye Tianchen walked up to Ling Yuxun, smiling as he spoke.

"Really? So do you like Xiao Ya or..." Ling Yuxun stopped mid-sentence. Of course, she wouldn’t ask further, just to see what this guy, Ye Tianchen, would say.

"Well, actually, Yuxun, we two have been childhood sweethearts and friends since we were little. Speaking of feelings, I think it’s still between us two..." Ye Tianchen suddenly had a quick thought. Even the dullest people can sometimes speak sweetly, especially men. Without any sweet talk, it would be impossible to have women follow you.

"Tianchen..." Ling Yuxun shyly looked at Ye Tianchen, her heart pounding rapidly.

That’s how girls are. When the guy they like says these things, they find it very pleasing, intoxicating, and shy. If it’s someone they don’t like, they would only feel disgusted and have an urge to beat that person up.

"This isn’t a good spot to watch the stars. I think over there is better, let’s head over," Ye Tianchen gently interrupted Ling Yuxun.

"Okay!"

What Ling Yuxun absolutely didn’t expect was that Ye Tianchen, who was usually blunt and had very low emotional intelligence, would suddenly start speaking sweetly at this moment. In fact, all this was because Ye Tianchen wanted to head over to the woods to check out the situation, and see what was happening with the troops of the Heavenly Gang War Generals.

Ye Tianchen wickedly smiled to himself. He hadn’t expected that he would be so skilled at sweet talking. It seems that during his time in the apocalypse, surrounded by beautiful women, he had learned a bit after all. It’s just that since being reborn on Earth, he hadn’t really been interested in flirting.

"Let’s go!" Ling Yuxun, who had also forgotten Yang Yi’s and Qing Hu’s admonitions to not wander around freely here, urged when she saw Ye Tianchen not moving forward.

"How about this, close your eyes, and I’ll use my superpower to fly you over there. Otherwise, it’ll take a long time to walk," Ye Tianchen seriously said to Ling Yuxun.

"Well, okay then!" Ling Yuxun, who already knew how powerful Ye Tianchen was and knew he was a legendary Superpower User, naturally trusted him and, after a thought, closed her eyes.

After about five minutes of having her eyes closed, Ling Yuxun hadn’t heard Ye Tianchen tell her to open her eyes, and was somewhat puzzled. When Ling Yuxun opened her eyes, she found herself already inside the cabin and tied to a wooden pillar. Her wisdom suddenly surged up, and she bit her white teeth fiercely and yelled:

"Ye Tianchen, you big villain..." (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to recommend tickets and monthly passes on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
