The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 765 - 761: Numb with Shock
Chapter 765: Chapter 761: Numb with Shock
During the meal in the Zhao Wukong’s City Lord’s Mansion, Ye Chenfeng still disclosed the real reason behind his participation in the martial arts competition for marriage. When Zhao Wukong found out that Ye Chenfeng only joined for the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass in the treasury of the mansion, his face instantly filled with disappointment. He forced a laugh and said, "Mr. Ye, of course, I can give you the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass in the treasury without any conditions. However, Mr. Ye, I believe you haven’t taken a wife yet, have you? I could marry both of my daughters to you, as long as you’re willing to stay in my City Lord’s Mansion. I’d even be ready to hand over the position of the City Lord to you right away."
When Zhao Wukong said he would marry both his daughters to Ye Chenfeng, Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan, who were sitting beside him, simultaneously blushed, their beautiful eyes filled with anticipation as they stared unblinkingly at Ye Chenfeng.
In the Ancient Martial World, it is quite normal for a man of strength to have multiple wives and concubines, especially for Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan, the twin sisters who had a very close relationship since childhood; they had even discussed marrying the same man in the future. Now their father had proposed to marry them both to one man.
Although this man’s appearance wasn’t all that, after what had just happened, Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan could sense an irresistible charm emanating from him, which was why neither of them spoke up against it.
Now Ye Chenfeng finally understood why Zhao Wukong’s gaze earlier had looked like that of a pimp’s. So Zhao Wukong was trying to peddle his daughters to him? And he was peddling two at once? This made him inwardly wryly smile. He was here for serious business among top powers, how could he be dazzled by beauty?
Ye Chenfeng said decisively, "City Lord Zhao, I am already married, so I very much appreciate your kindness, but I won’t accept your Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass for nothing. I will provide you a corresponding compensation."
Hearing Ye Chenfeng’s resolute tone, Zhao Wukong felt that the matter was utterly hopeless, and when Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan heard Ye Chenfeng refuse to marry both of them and found out that he was already married, their complexions also turned slightly unsightly.
Zhao Wukong didn’t take the compensation Ye Chenfeng mentioned to heart and let out a small sigh, saying, "Mr. Ye, you just helped my City Lord’s Mansion out of trouble, so it’s only right for me to give you the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass. Please enjoy your meal here, and I’ll go get the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass from the treasury for you."
"Then I thank you, City Lord Zhao." Seeing that Zhao Wukong no longer insisted, Ye Chenfeng responded with a slight smile.
After Zhao Wukong left the living room, Zhao Yuanyuan, who was feisty by nature, glared at Ye Chenfeng with unyielding eyes and said, "Ye Feng, do you think we sisters are not good enough for you?"
Ye Chenfeng spread his hands with a bitter smile and said, "Beauty, not long ago, if I recall correctly, you said I was not worthy of your sister. Now the City Lord wants to marry you both to me, doesn’t that make me even less worthy? I have no advantages, but at the very least, I am aware of my own worth."
Zhao Yuanyuan was so choked by Ye Chenfeng’s words that she slammed her chopsticks onto the table, pointed her jade finger at him, her chest heaving and her eyes beginning to moisten slightly as she angrily exclaimed, "Ye Feng, you’re bullying me."
Zhao Wukong had actively offered his daughters’ hands in marriage to Ye Chenfeng, but he had outright rejected them to their faces. This was quite a blow for both Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan, particularly for the strong-willed Zhao Yuanyuan, who couldn’t help but question Ye Chenfeng, only to end up nearly in tears from his retort.
"Yuanyuan, it’s his decision, after all. Besides, does this mean that we have no other suitors?" The invariably composed Zhao Xiaoxiao also spoke up, her tone indicating dissatisfaction with Ye Chenfeng.
Seeing Zhao Yuanyuan’s moist eyes and Zhao Xiaoxiao’s glaring look, Ye Chenfeng thought to himself, "Women sure can be trouble. Anyway, after today, it’s unlikely I’ll see these sisters again, so I might as well appease them!"
"Please don’t misunderstand me, you two. To me, both of you are already very beautiful. If I had just agreed to marry you both, wouldn’t you be angry? How long have we known each other? Not even a day has passed. Marriage should be based on the feelings between two people, and there are simply no such feelings between us. If I agreed to marry you both, it would be irresponsible towards you."
"I believe if it were any other man with the chance to marry two beauties, they would go for it without a second thought, but I, Ye Feng, am not such a man. I have my own principles and seriousness when it comes to relationships."
Ye Chenfeng spoke with a face of righteous solemnity, while subtly disparaging his male peers to raise his own standing.
Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan, these two young ladies were, after all, only twenty-one years old. Having grown up in the Ancient Martial World, they lacked the broad education that the Secular World offered. When they heard Ye Chenfeng’s words, Zhao Yuanyuan’s eyes were no longer moist, and the anger in Zhao Xiaoxiao’s eyes had vanished. The two suddenly felt that the man before them was the true embodiment of a man in their eyes!
Just after Ye Chenfeng had finished speaking to the Zhao sisters, Zhao Wukong walked in, holding a black rectangular box. He handed it to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Mr. Ye, this box contains a plant of Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass."
Ye Chenfeng immediately opened the rustic rectangular box and saw a slightly wilted green plant inside. Counting the leaves, he found exactly ten, confirming without a doubt that it was the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass.
After closing the rectangular box, Ye Chenfeng didn’t plan to take the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass for nothing. Even though he had just helped Zhao Wukong with some trouble, he decided to give Zhao Wukong a modest compensation. He said to the two Zhao sisters, sitting there in a daze, "You two, sit cross-legged on the ground. Currently, you are at the Lower Grade of Heaven Rank, we will help you improve your constitution."
Seeing his two daughters remain indifferent, Zhao Wukong thought that Ye Chenfeng’s talk of improving their constitution probably wouldn’t be of much use to them. Nevertheless, he said, "Xiaoxiao, Yuanyuan, didn’t you hear Mr. Ye speaking to you? Listen to Mr. Ye, sit cross-legged on the ground."
It was only then that Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan came to their senses. After glancing at Ye Chenfeng, the two of them sat down cross-legged. Ye Chenfeng had not yet tried to help two people increase their strength at the same time! However, this was not difficult for him. He used to help only one person at a time increase their strength for the sake of caution. Now, having helped countless people enhance their strength, his control of Soul Force was extremely proficient. So, there was absolutely no problem helping the Zhao sisters together. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Ye Chenfeng placed his right hand over Zhao Xiaoxiao’s head, and his left hand over Zhao Yuanyuan’s head, and said, "You two close your eyes and concentrate."
Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan obeyed Ye Chenfeng’s instructions.
The gentle Soul Force continuously entered the bodies of the Zhao sisters through Ye Chenfeng’s palms, improving their constitution.
Ye Chenfeng had always believed in reciprocating respect far beyond what he received. In his view, Zhao Wukong was a good man, and the Zhao sisters also gave him a favorable impression, though Zhao Yuanyuan could be somewhat willful.
As time trickled away, dense beads of sweat appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s forehead. Helping others improve their constitution was indeed a great consumption of Soul Force for him.
Half an hour later.
Dense black substances continued to ooze from the pores of Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan. Then, the energy fluctuations around the two sisters became extremely unstable, breaking through the Lower Grade of Heaven Rank and advancing to the Middle Grade. However, it didn’t end there; after a brief pause at Middle Grade, the sisters’ strength once again surged through to the High Grade of Heaven Rank.
After reaching the High Grade of Heaven Rank, the sisters’ internal energy fluctuations finally stabilized.
Zhao Wukong had been stunned still much earlier; in just half an hour, Ye Chenfeng had raised the strength of his daughters to the High Grade of Heaven Rank? This was simply inconceivable. With his daughters’ aptitudes, if they were to cultivate to the High Grade of Heaven Rank, it would take at least seven or eight years, and perhaps even ten years in unfortunate circumstances.
The result that would ordinarily take seven or eight years, or even more than a decade of cultivation, was achieved by Ye Chenfeng for his two daughters in just half an hour?
Zhao Wukong’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, his facial muscles stiffened, and he was numbed by the shock.
This Ye Feng was just too monstrous, wasn’t he? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
