The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 750 - 747: The Road Ahead is Vast

After Ye Chenfeng’s emotions had completely settled down, he loosened his right arm that was embracing Xia Zining, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he touched his nose. Looking at Xia Zining with her cheeks reddened to an extreme and her eyes very moist, he said, "I lost control for a moment just now, so now we’re even. Last time you took advantage of me, this time I took advantage of you, and from here on, we owe each other nothing."

Once his emotions had settled, Ye Chenfeng, whose thinking was very clear, thought that Xia Zining’s suggestion was actually very good. He did need a guide to enter a top-tier power. Although Xia Zining’s strength was somewhat lacking, it was still better than Ye Chenfeng bumbling around like a headless fly.

So, Ye Chenfeng spoke up again, "I can take you into a top-tier power, and by the way, take you to your sect’s treasure trove. I’ll make this deal with you."

Xia Zining, with cheeks flushed as if they were bleeding, trembled with rage when she remembered what had just happened. Were it not for Ye Chenfeng being a little too formidable, she would have fought him to the death long ago. She snapped indignantly, "Who wants to make a deal with you? Ye Chenfeng, you’re just a rogue."

"Fine, fine, fine, if you don’t want to make a deal, then we won’t. It’s not like I can’t reach the top-tier powers without you. Enjoy the moonlight here on your own!" Ye Chenfeng certainly didn’t like having his warm gestures met with cold indifference. Although he had just taken advantage of Xia Zining, hadn’t she tried to seduce him last time?

Seeing Ye Chenfeng preparing to leave, Xia Zining bit her lower lip hard, thinking to herself, "Xia Zining, you must stay calm, you must stay calm. Right now, only this bastard can help you. Once your strength has recovered, you can get back at him."

"Ye Chenfeng, are you really a man? I’ve never seen a man as petty as you," Xia Zining said, trying to keep her emotions under control.

Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Xia Zining, whether I’m a man or not, didn’t you just experience it? Do you want me to let you experience it again?"

As he spoke, Ye Chenfeng, who had initially turned to leave, walked back in front of Xia Zining. Thinking Ye Chenfeng was going to lose control again, she quickly crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Ye Chenfeng, don’t you dare do anything rash."

Ye Chenfeng bent down and picked up a sky-blue bellyband from the ground, saying, "Xia Zining, do you prefer to be in a vacuum?"

Xia Zining, seeing her undergarment in Ye Chenfeng’s hand, felt as if he were touching her body, snatched the bellyband from his hand, and said, "Ye Chenfeng, how come I never realized you were like this before?"

"I hadn’t realized you had a figure like this either!" Since Xia Zining thought Ye Chenfeng was a rogue, he might as well be thoroughly roguish.

"You, you, you..." Xia Zining was once again left speechless with anger by Ye Chenfeng. Unable to outmatch him in physical movements or in verbal articulation, she trembled with frustration.

"Xia Zining, do you want to make the deal or not? It’s late at night, and I don’t have time to waste here with you," Ye Chenfeng steered the conversation back to the main point.

Xia Zining said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I’ll make the deal with you."

Ye Chenfeng looked at Xia Zining with a strange expression and asked, "What will you do with me?"

Xia Zining, realizing the ambiguity in her words, retorted furiously, "Ye Chenfeng, would it kill you to be less of a rogue just once?"

Ye Chenfeng just shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands before turning around and walking away.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng leave without a word, Xia Zining panicked, "Ye Chenfeng, wait for me, just wait for me."

Ye Chenfeng arrived at a small lake behind the Ghost Doctor Sect, followed closely by Xia Zining, who said, "Ye Chenfeng, you agreed to make the deal with me, so what does it mean for you to walk away without saying anything?"

Ye Chenfeng stripped off his bloodied clothes right there, eliciting a shocked "Ah!" from Xia Zining, who immediately turned away. Then, she heard a "plop" from behind her.

"Xia Zining, who said I left without uttering a word? I’m here to take a bath. Do you expect me to maintain my earlier appearance when going to the top-tier powers? Find me some clean clothes, of course, you can also choose not to, in which case our deal is off," Ye Chenfeng said comfortably as he bathed, speaking to Xia Zining.

Xia Zining, after turning around, had her expression change incessantly as she thought to herself, "Endure, I must endure, I will certainly endure."

Having controlled her emotions, Xia Zining left the small lake to find clean clothes for Ye Chenfeng.

...

The sky was filled with twinkling stars, and the moonlight was enticing.

Ye Chenfeng, after bathing, put on a set of clean clothes and sat on the steps outside the main hall of the Ghost Doctor Sect, with Xia Zining sitting beside him, also in a changed outfit. After Ye Chenfeng finished his bath, she couldn’t resist taking one too—after all, when Ye Chenfeng had held her, he had been covered in blood, which had also stained her clothes profusely.

"Xia Zining, tell me about the situation with the top forces. Within those forces, what level does Tianshan Sect belong to?" Since Ye Chenfeng had made this deal with Xia Zining, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly understand the situation with the top forces and Tianshan Sect.

Reluctantly, Xia Zining began to explain for Ye Chenfeng, secretly wishing she could bite down hard on him several times.

...

Through Xia Zining’s explanations, Ye Chenfeng roughly understood the situation with the top forces.

The sects there are divided into three levels, from highest to lowest: First-Rate Forces, Second-Rate Forces, and Third-Rate Forces, with the rest being forces without a ranking.

The standard for First-Rate Forces is at least seventy Heaven Rank High Grade masters, twenty Innate Realm masters, fifteen Sky-Breaking Realm masters, and two Primordial Heaven Realm masters.

The standard for Second-Rate Forces is at least sixty Heaven Rank High Grade masters, fifteen Innate Realm masters, ten Sky-Breaking Realm masters, and one Primordial Heaven Realm master.

The standard for Third-Rate Forces is at least fifty Heaven Rank High Grade masters, ten Innate Realm masters, and five Sky-Breaking Realm masters.

According to Xia Zining, Tianshan Sect should be in the category of Third-Rate Forces.

However, just the thought of these Third-Rate Forces put Ye Chenfeng under mountainous pressure. Ten Innate Realm masters weren’t much of a concern, but those five Sky-Breaking Realm masters were utterly infuriating.

"By the way, do you know where the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass grows among the top forces? The Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass must be a very precious medicinal herb, right?" After adjusting his mood, Ye Chenfeng continued to inquire.

Xia Zining looked at Ye Chenfeng sitting beside her and said, "Precious? That’s an understatement for the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass. You’re not going to tell me you’re entering the top forces to collect Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass, are you?"

"Hundreds of years ago, the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass might have been just a precious herb, but now it can only grow in one place among the top forces. And the last time the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass matured, a large batch withered at the moment of maturity."

"Moreover, many formulas for improving strength require it, so this maturation of the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass will definitely instigate a large-scale battle."

"With your current strength, you can’t even participate in that sort of battle, so I advise you to give up the idea of picking the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass."

Listening to Xia Zining describe how precious the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass was, Ye Chenfeng sighed deeply. Just dealing with Tianshan Sect was already troublesome enough, and now he had to face a large-scale battle for the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass in two years? Moreover, he also needed to investigate the Ghost King Sect’s past, to repay the kindness of Ji Shunde.

Entering the top forces, for Ye Chenfeng, could be described in four words: an uncertain path ahead. (To be continued.
