The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 718 - 716 Is There a Way to Save?

Originally in a state of shyness, Han Chuxue felt Ye Chenfeng suddenly stop his movements. When she raised her head and looked at him with puzzled eyes, she heard Ye Chenfeng question her, "Chu Xue, do you really see me as your man?"

After seeing the serious and earnest expression on Ye Chenfeng’s face, Han Chuxue’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Could it be that Chenfeng has noticed something wrong with my inner strength? That shouldn’t be possible! The effects of the secret technique haven’t worn off yet; how could he possibly notice anything amiss within me?"

Leaning into Ye Chenfeng’s embrace, Han Chuxue drew circles on his chest with her fingers. Pouting adorably, she said, "You rascal, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you see whether I consider you my man? If I didn’t, would I, would I be like this with you?"

"What’s the deal with the extremely unstable True Energy Force inside you? I didn’t notice it while we were in the dungeon, but I’ve just checked your inner condition, and I can assure you that your Heaven Rank High Grade strength wasn’t acquired through your own cultivation. Instead, you must have used some method to improve it in the short term. Usually, such methods do more or less damage to the body. Why didn’t you tell me about this?" Seeing that Han Chuxue still wasn’t being forthcoming, Ye Chenfeng said somewhat angrily, his expression turning completely serious.

Hearing the underlying concern in Ye Chenfeng’s tone, Han Chuxue bit her lip, not knowing how to start speaking. After a silence of two to three minutes, she finally said, albeit reluctantly, "Chenfeng, I did use a secret technique from the Han Sect. This technique can only be used by those whose strength has reached the Heaven Rank Lower Grade. After the effects of the secret technique fade, the user’s strength will fall back to Earth Rank Lower Grade, and there’s more, there’s more, there’s..."

Seeing that Han Chuxue couldn’t finish her sentence after a long time, Ye Chenfeng asked again, "Chu Xue, what else is there? Speak up quickly, otherwise I’m going to ask Uncle Wang about what kind of strength-enhancing secret techniques the Han Sect has. I am still able to learn what you haven’t finished telling me."

Biting her lip hard and closing her beautiful eyes, Han Chuxue said, "There’s also the matter that the user’s lifespan will be reduced to only four years left."

"What did you say?" Ye Chenfeng suddenly stood up from the wooden barrel.

Bitterness covered Han Chuxue’s face.

"You foolish woman, are you joking with your life? Get dressed and get up right now." Ye Chenfeng was completely out of the mood to be affectionate with Han Chuxue at this point; resolving the side effects of the secret technique in her body was the most crucial issue right now.

After hurriedly getting dressed, Ye Chenfeng asked, "Silly girl, do you know how to counteract the side effects of this secret technique?"

At those words, Han Chuxue helplessly shook her head.

"You woman, can I call you an idiot? If back then, in the Secular World, you hadn’t left without a word, wouldn’t I have helped you take revenge? You wouldn’t have had to resort to using what’s essentially a crappy secret technique."

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find Uncle Wang; see if he knows of any way to counteract this secret technique."

Ye Chenfeng, pulling Han Chuxue by the hand, started walking towards the door. He was truly on the verge of being driven crazy by Han Chuxue, his heart filled with worry for her.

As Ye Chenfeng hurriedly pulled her along by the hand, Han Chuxue saw his worried and agitated manner. She suddenly felt a surge of happiness. Having such a caring man who worried for her was wonderful, so she couldn’t help but let out a "Pfft!" and laughed.

"You silly woman, you can still laugh now? It seems your behind is itching for a slap again," Ye Chenfeng said, annoyed.

Wrapping her arms around Ye Chenfeng’s arm and with a gentle smile on her face, Han Chuxue said, "Chenfeng, even if I only have four years left, as long as I can be with you during those years, I would be content and happy."

Ye Chenfeng paused for a moment and said, "Happy my foot, we’re supposed to be together for a lifetime, to grow old together—that’s what true happiness is. Stop wasting words now; let’s hurry and see Uncle Wang."

When Ye Chenfeng and Han Chuxue found Uncle Wang, he was busy settling the people who had just been released from the dungeon. Since many of them were in a daze, it was quite a hassle. Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng and Han Chuxue, Uncle Wang quickly bowed and said, "Young Master Ye, young lady, were you looking for this old man?"

"Uncle Wang, Chu Xue has used one of your Han Sect’s secret techniques. Now she only has four years left to live. Is there any way to reverse the aftereffects of this secret technique?" Ye Chenfeng asked straightaway, as he had no desire to waste time.

"What? Young lady, you used the Han Sect’s Death-Defying Technique? What am I to say to you? Let’s head straight to the Scripture Pavilion immediately. It contains various Han Sect cultivation texts; I don’t know if there is any way there to break the Death-Defying Technique," Uncle Wang said, his aged face knotted with worry like a chrysanthemum.

"Uncle Wang, then let’s hurry to the Scripture Pavilion," Ye Chenfeng said.

Afterward, Uncle Wang had the Han Sect disciples take care of the people whose minds were foggy, and he led Ye Chenfeng and Han Chuxue in a rush to the Scripture Pavilion.

The Han Sect’s Scripture Pavilion was located to the west behind the main hall. As a forbidden area of the Han Sect, it was guarded by two disciples at the entrance. However, now that Han Yanyi had died, Han Chuxue naturally became the leader in the eyes of the Han Sect disciples, so Ye Chenfeng and the other two entered the Scripture Pavilion without any issue.

The Scripture Pavilion was divided into upper and lower floors, and dedicated staff cleaned it every week, keeping the interior very neat. The scrolls on the shelves were dust-free.

Ye Chenfeng said, "Let’s work separately. First, let’s look through all the texts on the first floor. If we don’t find a cure, then we’ll go through the texts on the second floor."(To be continued.
