Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 216: Scumbag, Harmonization Dao

After this Sensing, Ye Tianling did indeed relax. The dissatisfaction in his heart vanished without a trace.

"Alright... say no more. I believe you."

Ye Tianling stopped Ye Yueling’s complaining.

’He was supposed to be the one questioning Ye Yueling. But now, the tables had turned, and she was the one interrogating him.’

Ye Tianling just wanted to slap himself. ’Fucking hell, I really know how to touch a raw nerve.’

"You violated me, leaving my heart dead as ash, and then you just pulled up your pants and left. You didn’t even care when I tried to kill myself. Have you ever thought about how hopeless I felt?"

"But even after you treated me that way, when I heard you were seriously injured and at death’s door, I still traveled a thousand miles with Master to the Myriad Swords Sect to bring you medicine... Have I wronged *you*?"

"I’ve already done so much. I even knelt before you and admitted my faults earlier, all because I thought you must be incredibly weak after your Dragon Soul was severed. I was going to sacrifice myself again, to use Yin Yang Harmony to give all my Abilities back to you and help you recover!

But what about you? You’re not just perfectly fine, you’re incredibly powerful!"

"You’re just a liar, a jerk, a bastard! All you know is how to bully me!"

"Now that I think about it, what’s so good about you that’s worth me debasing myself like this?! I’m just a wild girl that nobody loves or cares for, only fit to be your tool! I have no father, no mother, no one to rely on..."

As Ye Yueling spoke, her heart broke and she dissolved into a flood of tears.

Ye Tianling was completely dumbfounded, rendered speechless by her tirade.

...

"Alright, are you done with your questions? How about you ask about my emotional journey? Didn’t you say back at the Myriad Swords Sect that after you became a peerless genius, you wanted to ’battle’ me until I experienced the ecstasy of life and death?"

Seeing Ye Yueling sobbing, heartbroken, Lin Yuchan began to feel a sense of shared animosity.

She recalled how Ye Yueling had knelt before her, begging for medicine to save Ye Tianling. She also thought about how Ye Tianling’s father, Ye Fengyang, was clearly a Clone of Long Fengyang but never revealed it, causing her to search fruitlessly for many years... She was starting to get angry, too.

So, even though Ye Tianling was the Young Master, and despite how she had been as gentle as water before, her pretty face now turned icy. All gentleness was gone.

"Ahem, that... that was you who said that, Yuchan, not me."

Ye Tianling was mortified, laughing sheepishly.

’Two women, one drama. This was supposed to be a wonderful opportunity for us to fly wing-to-wing... or, you know... but now, I’ve completely screwed it up.’

"You’re telling me you weren’t thinking the same thing? Do you have any idea how much your reputation stank back then? Of course, it’s even worse now!"

"Besides, you weren’t my Young Master back then. I couldn’t have cared less if you lived or died.

Especially after I learned you had ruined Yueling’s innocence! You’re lucky I didn’t kill you with one swing of my sword!

But back then, Yueling knelt and begged me to save you, you know that? Otherwise, why would we have traveled all that way to a rival power like the Myriad Swords Sect to give you medicine? Who do you think you are, the emperor’s father? Are you that important?"

Lin Yuchan huffed, clearly displeased as well.

Ye Tianling was mortified, but at the same time, his heart felt incredibly warm.

In truth, Ye Tianling had always remembered the kindness they had shown him by bringing the medicine.

When they had entered the land of the Blood-Colored Crescent Moon earlier, Lin Yuchan had been so aggressive, ready to kill him. The only reason he hadn’t been ruthless with her was precisely because he remembered their kindness with the medicine four months prior.

’Sigh, now that they see I’m safe and sound, they’re not going to dote on me anymore. Maybe I should just go back to pretending I’m a crippled good-for-nothing. I’d get a lot more care and attention that way.’

Ye Tianling grumbled to himself.

He deeply regretted showing off his powerful Ability, since it meant he would no longer get any special treatment.

’Could there be anything more tragic in this world?’

"AH—"

True to his thoughts, he immediately acted, and a spray of blood erupted from his mouth.

He could control his Dragon Blood at will, so spitting it out on command wasn’t difficult in the slightest.

"Ah—Young Master, what’s wrong?"

Lin Yuchan was still pouting indignantly, but now Ye Tianling was pretending to be weak.

He had no choice; he had to act weak.

When women went on a rampage, there would be no peace any time soon. Ye Tianling could only resort to being shameless.

"My injuries... they haven’t recovered. I was just acting tough so you wouldn’t worry. I guess I overdid it. Now the facade has crumbled, and my injuries are flaring up."

Ye Tianling said with a bitter smile.

He began his cowardly act, refusing to confront the women head-on.

Because listening to their descriptions, he sounded like a beast, a total scumbag.

The worst part was, even Ye Tianling himself felt that way!

’To see myself as human scum, a complete scumbag... that’s fucking terrifying.’

’Is there anything in this world more absurd and terrifying than this?’

...

Seeing the trace of blood at the corner of Ye Tianling’s mouth, Ye Yueling stopped crying, and a look of worry returned to her eyes.

"Are... are you okay?"

Ye Yueling asked, her tear-streaked face full of worry as she choked back a sob.

"I’m... I’m fine. It’s not fatal. Mmm, step aside. If I sit and do some Hard Cultivation for three days, I should be able to recover about a tenth of my injuries."

Ye Tianling sighed and began to put on an act.

His gaze was dejected, carrying a deep, world-weary, and melancholic air.

It had to be said that this dejected air, combined with his faint stubble, made him look irresistibly charming.

At the sight of him, Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling were instantly flooded with sympathy. Recalling his incredibly miserable ordeal over the past six months, their hearts immediately softened.

"Stop being so stubborn. We’re not going to eat you... Let’s do the Yin Yang Harmony!"

Lin Yuchan immediately proposed.

"Yes, Tianling, I... let’s do that... It’ll help you recover faster. Otherwise, what will happen to the Tianyu Saintess and the Tianmo Saintess? And your mother? We have to find a way to rescue them from their suffering."

Ye Yueling added, her voice full of shyness.

"Ahem, this... how could I... I... I’m ashamed..."

Ye Tianling’s eyes darted about as he spoke with feigned shyness.

"Or... we could just cooperate with you. We’ll be the weak ones, and you can be the strong one preying on the weak. Isn’t that what you’re best at, what you like most...?"

Ye Yueling said, biting her lip and mustering all her courage.

The moment she said it, Ye Tianling was completely dumbfounded.

Lin Yuchan, meanwhile, was giving her a very strange look.

Mortified, Ye Yueling quickly tried to explain, "I-It’s not that I have some kind of ma...sochistic...ki...nk, it’s just... it’s just that this is... this is how it’s always been... Or maybe... maybe Tianling doesn’t... doesn’t like us at all, maybe he’s disgusted by us..."

Ye Yueling was so flustered she was on the verge of tears.

It had taken so much courage for her to say those words.

’Great, now we’ve escalated to me being disgusted with them...’

Ye Tianling was speechless. But he was no gentleman, and seeing that the atmosphere had improved, he knew he’d be a fool not to seize this rare opportunity.

’In love, the more you do it, the more daring you become. Isn’t that how the song goes?’ he thought, then said, "Alright... let’s do it. But, Yuchan... don’t take the lead and use that Absorption method! If I recover but you’re depleted, I’ll develop a Heart Demon. Just cooperate and listen to me. We’ll do our Cultivation together and improve together."

This was his greatest concern, and he spoke these words with genuine sincerity.

Lin Yuchan rolled her eyes at him. "Your Soul Talent is so powerful, only an idiot wouldn’t know you’re uninjured. We’re giving you an out, so stop blabbering and get to it!"

"Er, hehehe... Well then... here I come..."

With another lecherous chuckle, Ye Tianling transformed into a mighty, peerless dragon.

...

"Yuchan, you’re so ’fierce’... and so ’proud’..."

"Yueling, why do you always like me to be rough with you? You don’t actually have a special... kink, do you?"

"Ah! What are you pinching me for..."

"Yin Yang Harmony! Harmonization Dao! Don’t just focus on the exercise... My god, you two are insane."

"You two are going to play me to death!"

"...Yueling, you really are a dragon, too... A true female dragon of the Cyan Dragon Clan..."

"Two female dragons... Oof, I surrender."

"I’m trying to dote on you both! You really think I can’t keep up?"

"I told you, don’t treat yourselves like Tripod Cauldrons! Now I’m getting angry!"

"So arrogant! Way too arrogant!"

"Fuck! You just had to push it, didn’t you? Now I’m getting serious!"

"Who’s afraid of who!"

"Giving up already? I’m going to battle you for three hundred rounds!"

"Yueling, what happened to your modesty?"

"Yuchan, what happened to your cold arrogance?"

"Hahaha, had enough? Can’t take it anymore? Begging won’t help! Let’s go another six hundred rounds! What do you think, hahaha, am I not amazing?"

"What? Three days are almost up? Already? I’m not even close to finished! Huh? Little Fox, when did you get here? What are you looking at? Enjoying the show?"
