Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 967 - 894: Driving Ye Qingfeng Away

Zhong Ming also understood that his strength was indeed insufficient, and going would only trouble the instructor.

He regretted internally that he could do so little for the instructor.

However, Zhong Ming was not one to be melodramatic and stopped complaining. He took the elixir and immediately began meditating in a cross-legged position.

Ye Qingfeng jumped directly from the hotel room. It was already midnight, and no one on the street would notice Ye Qingfeng’s figure as he passed through the alley and directly arrived at the entrance of Zhao Zhiruo’s restaurant.

Zhao Zhiruo’s family restaurant was only two stories, with the restaurant below and their residence above.

Ye Qingfeng leaped directly onto the second floor, and coincidentally, this room was Zhao Zhiruo’s.

At this moment, Zhao Zhiruo was sound asleep. It was already summer, and she was only covered with a thin blanket.

A pair of snow-white arms were thus exposed, with a leg also peeking out below, white and glistening. Although Zhao Zhiruo looked ordinary, her skin was quite good.

Ye Qingfeng knew that as soon as her bloodline power was awakened, her appearance would undergo a tremendous change, transforming her into a peerless beauty.

Just then, Zhao Zhiruo slightly turned over, hugging the blanket close, and resting her feet on it as if holding a doll.

Though the room was pitch black, Ye Qingfeng’s vision was excellent. He could clearly see that Zhao Zhiruo was only wearing underwear, her smooth and fair skin exposed before him.

Although Ye Qingfeng was not one to be lost in thoughts of beauty all day, he was, after all, a man filled with youthful energy, and seeing this, he couldn’t help but react.

But now was not the time to get distracted. Ye Qingfeng quickly calmed himself and walked to Zhao Zhiruo’s bedside.

"Zhao Zhiruo, wake up." Ye Qingfeng touched Zhao Zhiruo’s smooth arm and gently shook her.

Feeling someone calling her, Zhao Zhiruo slowly opened her eyes, only to see a silhouette beside her bed in the dark night.

"Ah, oh!"

Zhao Zhiruo was startled by this shadow and was about to scream when Ye Qingfeng covered her mouth.

"Alright, don’t scream, it’s me, Ye Qingfeng!" Ye Qingfeng quickly said. If Zhao Zhiruo screamed and woke her mother, that would be troublesome. Having more people would distract Ye Qingfeng from protecting her.

"Don’t scream, I’m doing this for your own good. I’ll let go of you now."

After Zhao Zhiruo nodded, Ye Qingfeng released her. His hand still bore the imprint of Zhao Zhiruo’s lips, causing some mixed feelings within him.

"Ye Qingfeng, why, why are you here? What do you want?" Zhao Zhiruo asked in a low, somewhat panicked voice.

As a girl, having a man sneak into her house and quietly come to her bedroom was frightening enough.

Moreover, it seemed like this man had feelings for her, so who knew what he might do.

"I’m here to protect you. That Guan Yuntang, he might pose a threat to you tonight," Ye Qingfeng stated bluntly.

"What? Are you mad, Ye Qingfeng!" Zhao Zhiruo only found the words too absurd.

"Though I don’t understand why you like me, I’m telling you, you can’t use such underhanded methods. You were so rude to Guan Yuntang’s big brother the other day, that was already excessive. And now you’re saying he’ll harm me? You sneak into my bedroom at night to protect me?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ye Qingfeng, I can only say, your methods are too despicable and ridiculous!"

Zhao Zhiruo said with a cold, disdainful tone.

"I truly am here to protect you!" Ye Qingfeng insisted adamantly. He disliked explaining himself, but because the other party was Zhao Zhiruo and an innate spiritual body, Ye Qingfeng wanted to protect her.

"Ye Qingfeng, don’t you find what you’re saying laughable? Do you think I would believe you?" Zhao Zhiruo sneered repeatedly, finding Ye Qingfeng utterly ridiculous.

What kind of man suddenly bursts into a girl’s room, telling her that someone usually kind would harm her and that he’s here to protect her?

Such a person, if not considered as having ulterior motives, would surely be deemed a lunatic.

"Ye Qingfeng, I’m telling you, Brother Guan Yuntang is a good person. If you like me, then stop targeting him. He’s helped us a lot, and I hope because of me, he won’t unfairly suffer!" Zhao Zhiruo coldly stated.

"He’s helping you with an agenda!" Ye Qingfeng said, enduringly explaining.

"And you, haha, are you approaching me really because you like me? Don’t you have an agenda?" Zhao Zhiruo asked directly.

Ye Qingfeng fell silent. He did have intentions in approaching Zhao Zhiruo.

With an innate spiritual body, if Ye Qingfeng dual cultivated with her, his physical body’s recovery would accelerate significantly.

Though Ye Qingfeng did not currently intend to force himself on Zhao Zhiruo, initially, he did have thoughts—wanting to win Zhao Zhiruo and then engage in dual cultivation with her.

Ye Qingfeng’s silence confirmed for Zhao Zhiruo that he had ulterior motives for approaching her. She had long suspected this, wondering why a man of such ordinary looks would give her a necklace worth hundreds of thousands to pursue her.

"Haha, are you speechless? Just leave, and don’t appear before me again." Zhao Zhiruo said coldly.

She was also somewhat hurt. Ye Qingfeng was the first guy to actively pursue her. Although she didn’t like Ye Qingfeng’s arrogance and aloofness, the guy possessed a unique aura, stirring her heart just a touch.

But this man approaching her for ulterior reasons was something she couldn’t accept.

Ye Qingfeng stood still, unmoving. He disliked explaining but genuinely meant well for Zhao Zhiruo, wanting to protect her.

In the dark night, Zhao Zhiruo could only make out a silhouette, standing upright.

With Ye Qingfeng standing and not leaving, Zhao Zhiruo didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, she noticed an odd smell, strange and disgust-inducing.

"Ah, oh"

When Zhao Zhiruo turned on the light, she was taken aback, covering her mouth in shock.

Ye Qingfeng was covered in bloodstains, appearing terrifying and intimidating.

"These bloodstains aren’t mine. Guan Yuntang sent people to kill me, and I killed them all," Ye Qingfeng approached Zhao Zhiruo, explaining.

"Don’t come closer." Zhao Zhiruo was truly frightened, having thought at worst he was just an ordinary person.

But now, this blood-soaked man stood before her, how could she not be afraid?

She was just an ordinary girl, and in the middle of the night, a blood-covered man broke into her bedroom; how could she not fear, how could she trust Ye Qingfeng?

"Go, leave, never show up in front of me again. I don’t need your protection. I beg you, spare me."

Zhao Zhiruo’s voice carried just a hint of sobbing, yet she didn’t dare raise her voice too much, for fear of waking her mother. She didn’t know what this blood-covered Ye Qingfeng might do.
